PROGRESS IN PORTO RICO.
Disinterested view OF Conditions
on the Island.

on the Island.
The two principal articles Of exporta.
ton In Porto Rico sugar and tobacco
have increased from 27,5G0QOO francs
and 3.16i 800 francs in 1901 to 81 .075.-
600 francs and 1O.57O,OO0 francs the
year following. says L'Economistc
Francois. The exports of cigarettes
and of leaf tobacco have diminished.
but the diminution is Of little impor-
tance compared with the much higher
value Of cigars.
The sugar cane plantations with the
employment of modern methods are in
creasing, facilitated as they are by the
creation Of central factories one Of
which has recently been started at Gu
anica Notwithstanding the advances
made, there still remains much to be
done.
Coffee culture is extending rapidly.
The product of the present year
amounts to 100000 bags. During the
last ten years $500 acres have been de-
voted TO orange plantations. They
plant about seventy trees to the acre,
which yield in FIVE years about $4,000
oranges, which are usually sold at the
wharfs at the rate Of francs n hun
dred, and this, gives a profit Of 1850
francs to the acre.
Cotton planting is about to be re-
newed. Tho expectation of cotton
reached 1000 bales IN 1865. About
100000 acres will soon be set apart for
cotton limitations
Many mining concessions have been
granted since the annexation Of the
island TO the United States, but none
80 far has been worked with energy
Gold. silver, iron. copper and blsmuth
exist IN the island and also immense
beds Of tin. mercury, Ignite. yellow
amber and nickel, without speaking OF
the lead mines.
The construction Of railroads is going
on rapidly. The entire system, it is ex
pected, will be completed in less thar
three years The French line, reorgan
lied under the name Of the American
Railroad Company Of Porto Rico, ha.
obtained new concession. 1t is now
occupied in finishing the network OF
I railroads in the island. An electri,
tramway has been started at Ponce
Another line connects Bayamon with
San Juan, and it will soon be linked tC
a steamboat line to Ponce.

GIRL TRIES TO DIE
Gladys Green Takes Plunge in
Mississippi at Ninth
Street.
AID BROUGHT BY HER CRIES
Couldn't stand Shock of Cold Water
Returns to Her
Home.

Weary of her soiled dove existence
Gladys Green, an inmate of Ruth
Fairchild's resort on Twenty-first
street between Second and Third av-
enues. did a brodie off the river EN-
bankment at Ninth street about
o'clock last evening, and probably
would have persisted but for the time
~ arrival of George Whiteman, ZIG
First avenue, who was attracted by
the woman's cries.
1t appears she changed her mind af-
ter hitting the stream, the shock of
the cold water causing her to try her
vocal powers. with the result that the
whole neighborhood was aroused.
Gladys alighted about ten feet from
shore. and was rapidly getting it
where Alice wore the necklace when
reached by her rescuer. Miss Fair
child was notified and had Gladys re-
moved to her abode. Gladys was de-
termined to shuttle off this mortal
coil, however. and said as soon as she
could get into dry clothing she would
again make for the river.
Visit From Police.
The police learned of the affair, and
Capt. Lawrence Kramer visited Gladys
She told a hard luck story to the of
ficer. She had not found the life she
had been leading as rosy as she sup
posed it would prove, and sought sol
ace in death.
She was sorry she had not jumped
off the government bridge, for if she
had it would all have been over by
that time. The reason she had not
taken the bridge route was fear of
attracting attention. She went to
Ninth street because it was a quiet
neighborhood. and she felt she could
pull off her job without interruption.
Her plans were moving along in lovely
fashion, but she was unable to con-
troll her voice when she came in CON
tact with the water. If the streams
in the vicinity of Greenland are any
chillier than the old Mississippi was
last night Gladys says ii must be
great for the icemen in that country.
She was sorely disappointed over
the unsuccessful outcome of her at
tempt. When she had changed cloth
ing and been given time to think the
matter over, Capt. Kramer asked her
if she intended remaining among the
live ones. she replied that she had
made up her mind To die and there
was no human power that could
thwart her in accomplishing it event
ually. If not last night. some. athe
night.
Taken Back to Her Home.
So Capt. Kramer invited Gladys to
accompany him to the police station.
not unfamiliar place to her. Just
then her brother blew in from Daven-
port, having heard of her Ninth street
high dive, and said he would be re-
sponsible for her. Gladys was taken
back to her home across the river,
where those nearer and rearer to her
than the companions she has cnlti-
waited of late will try and convince
her that she has something to live
for yet.
