CRONICA
SAN JUAN DE NOCHE

Los nocturnos acompafiantes del des-
cubridor de America, estan lnconsola-
lbles. Los nuevos bancos de la plaza,
muy severos, casi elegautes, no t1enen
respaldo; que incomodos para cabe
zear soflolientos; que ,desconsiderac1on
para los pobres vagabundos.
Porque ESQ de tumbarse la larga, es
asunto que requiere mas despfeocupa-
cion y mas practica de indomiciliado. Y
ahora con los dos focos. electricos 80. la
estatua pagara el patio.
Anoche ne visto mas genie Ge la
acostumbrada en- los escalones del mo-
numento y en- verdad que era digno de
contemplarse ell grupo eXtraf1o que ofre-
cfan los desaharrapados que duermen
en- Ell pedestal acurrucados unos, con Ia
frente helada sobre la picdra otros, y
los habia entire ellos con demacracion
de cadaver en- Ell rostro, con los oJoS
abiertos por la debilidad, por el ham
bre, miranda vagamente al clelo Que
rueda ipdiferente con sus olas de nube,
y salpicazos de luz, como 81 chocasen
ala arriba las estrellas y de su encuen-
tro furlbundo brotase Ell relampago de
duracion atolnica, pero imponente y
magnffco.
Antes- -habia que esperar a intervalos
para descllbrir al relanpagueo los gru-
pos curiosisimos de los acompaflantes
del gran geografo, ahora gracias a los
dos focos, podemos verlos debilmente,
palidamente, en- actitudea devotas y ex-
traiias, en- una plegaria de ronquidos, 9
de silencio, que interrumpe q veces al
gun guardia para hacerse odiar.
A nadie aborreCen tanto esos infellces
como al policia que los zarandea y los
sacude para que no duerman en- los
bancos de las plazas y en- el pedestal de
la dnica estatua aproposito que hay en-
San Juan.
En- ell amino de esos desheredados Sc
revuelve ell ,esplritu de protesta, Sc
acuerdan de que no tienen hogar nj ia,
milia, nj una covacha donde pasar la
noche y matarian en- aquel momento al
cruel agente que fue despertarles
cuando tai vez sof1aban que dormlan en-
un lecho riqu1simo, en- alcoba de porfi-
do rosa teniendo por colgaduras un pa
lio de estrellas y las brisas cariciosas por
compafleras.
Y desde ALA arriba, subido en- la CO.
lt1mna, como TN altar, Colon, el inefa-
bic, ell padre de America, con la bande-
ra rota, parece que exclama, EN- ell gesto
imponente, en- la mirada quieta de sus
petreos ojos, "dejadlos, dejadlos dornir,
va que no habeis colocado alrededor
mfo nj una sola flor, nj una verja; de-
jadles dormir sobre la piedrs; que no
Sc despierten. -.
Y mientras 20 miraba ell lnonumen-
to, evocando recuerdos tristes y leyen-
das hermosas, septf en- mi interior una
voz fuerte, una voz inhexible que dec1a
ronca:
Mira, mira ives ese cru POI Arliba,
un hombre sobre todos, como TN Dlos
;no es cierto? y abajo, Ell los escaloaes
muchos. zee. muchos infelices... ... nuer-
tos de FRO. muertos de hambre......
muertos de suef1o acurrucados en- los es
calones de piedra..... Iparece Tin s1mil
verdad? iParece un SINH!

Por una calunnia
Tragico suicide
EN- VISPERA DE LA BODA

En- toda la ciudad de Reus, comenta-

pues de haber consumado tan desespe-
rada resolucion, acudieron algunos We
cinos y TN medico, encontrando a la

dolores, revolcandose en- ell suelo y pro-
| 6riendo agudos gritos y desgarradores
lamentos.

La desdichada Hortensia debfa ca

FOUR ROADS SETTLE
A Portion of the Striking
Freight Handlers at Work.
VICTORY FOR ARBITRATION BOARD.
Other Roads Ccntering Mt Chicago
Will Probably Agree With the
., Strikers, Tins Ending
Long Struggle.

CHICAGO, July 16.--With agree.
ments reached between four railroads
and their employees, the great strike
of the freight handlers and teamsters
that has paralyzed the industries of
Chicago for week is apparently
broken. A majority of the strikers re-
turned to work this morning. By to-
morrow, according to the present out
look, there will be few evidences Of
the strike. Some of the more radical
. unionists may refuse to accept the
! terms accepted by representative COM
mittees, but apparently they will be
able to WELD but little influence with
the majority of the strikers. 1t is
possible. however, that the radicals
may prevent the strike from being
called off.
The four railrOadS that have entered
into agreements with their men are
the Lake Shore and Michigan South
crn, the Chicago and Northwestern,
the Nickel Plate and the Illinois Cen
tIal. OF the four the Northwestern
and the Illinois Central accepted the
proposition made upon advice Of the
tcamstcrs board of arbitration. The
Nickel Plate and Lake Shore succeeded
in getting their men to sign the scale
presented by the railroads July l.
Consequently neither the freight
handlers nor the railroads claim vic
tory As the employees of the Lake
+, Al.
the railroads are expressing the great
est satisfaction over the break in the
strike
The freight handlers return to work
without having obtained recognition Of
their union. time and half for over
time or the abolishment of the prOha-
ton period. On the other hand, the
freight handlers have obtained in
creaSes in pay, the smallest one being
% cents day, procured by the truck
e.-s.
While the signing Of the agreements
breaks the strike it does not end it.
1t is still in progress as far as twenty
OF tn" twcnty-four railroads in the city
are concerned. President Cuirun and
a few of his supporters are still unrcc-
oncilcd and state they will not recog-
niz" any of the agreements.
The adjustment Of the controversy
WAS brought about by Chairman job
Of the state board Of arbitration. The
basis of the settlement for wages was:
Check, transfer and receiving clerks
for first three months. S1J: check,
transfer and receiving clerks after
first tlree months. $50; delivery clerks
for first three months $40. and after
that period $l5; storcrs per hour for
,irst three months, Is cents and after
three months 1872 cents; callers for
first three months, II cents and after
that Is cents per hour; truckers per
hour for first three months, 10 cents,
and after three months II cents.

DR.. HOWELL
SUCCESSFUL.

] DR.. Fl. W. Howell OF this city ha
been applying the pasteur treatme II
and has been very successful
The serum is made fresh at tn
laboratories in New York every dav
and as it is necessary to have 1T fresl
ninety per centum or more that is
made is afterwards destroyed. Thi
necessarily makes the serum very ex
penslve, as that which is sold o
course has to pay for that which wa.
made and destroyed.
The first patient treated by the
Wilmington physician was Osborne
i. Biddle, aged 6 years. OF No. lllC
Jefferson street, who was bitten or
the leg by strange dog on Tuesday
June IL. The wound was immediate
ly cautcrized, and three days latei
the serum was administered.
The serum is injected hyperdermi,
cally on different spots over the body,
and the dose is regulated according
t" the location and severity of the
wound.
Injections are made daily for fifteen
days and thcn,if everything goes well
the patient is considered immune
One peculiar feature Of the treatment
is that 1t has 10 apparent effect on
the physical condition of the patient.
There is no change in temperature
and no apparent effect whatever ON
The patient from beginning to the
end.
Young Biddle took his treatment
with good grace. After the first in
lection he told the physician that he
would like him to give him The four
teen other injections on the following
day, as it would prevent the treat
ment interfering with his enjoyment
on the Fourth Of July.
The other patient treated by DR..
Howell was Charles j.. Allen, Jr., No.
500 South Jackson street. Young
Allen was bitten on the right leg on
June II. The dog was a strange one
and was neither identified nor CAP
tured. 1t was supposed, however to
be the same animal that bit young
Blddle. Charles was subjected to
the same treatment thatOsborne was.
The first injection was made on
June 20, and the last one on the 9th
ofJuly.
Mr.. Howell considers both patients
immune and entirely out of danger.
lie said he felt impressed with The
need of aplace in Wilmington where
TIE paSteur treatment cou'd be ad-
mInIstered, and wrote to New York
Institute on the subject. They in
formed him that if he felt thut he
could administer the treatment, and |
wished to do SO, he was the man TO
undertake it, as the great difficulty |,
was to find competent physicians who
were willing IS assume the rcsponsi-
blity.
