de Ofelia, y no sabemos 81 alguna

de una especie de interviu ce
lebrada en- los Estados Unidos
por Ell senor Wiener.
Y el colega concede una i'm
portancia extrema a 10 que ha
dicho, en- Nueva Orleans, Mr..
Wiener.
Cuando Ell asunto, ST bien es
cierto que tiene importancia ca
pital no ha sido apr eciado por el
autor de la interviu con la cla-
ridad y acierto que fuera de
esperar, ya que ha vivido en- ell
pals hace tempo y sigue resi-
dlendo en- P uerto-Rico.
Tambien es sorprendente el
entusiasmo del colega, que
transcribe las declaraciones he
chas por MIR. Wiener respecto
del cafe puertorrjqueno y de la
falta de mercados para nuestro
grano, sin agregar un comenta-
rio por su cuenta, pOnlendO en-
razon al diario de Nueva Or
leans y a su POGO afortunado
comunicante.
Reconoce Mr.. Wener la bon
dad del cafe puertorriqueno.
Admira sus cualidades admira-
bles, superior al de Hava, supe
rior al de MOca.
Ell cafe de Puerto Rico paga-
do a cuarenta Centavos, que es
10 que cuestan las dos classes
citadas, es aun ventajoso para
Ell pueblo de los Estados UDidos.
Hasta aqui esta en- 10 cierto MIR.
Wiener; ha dicho la verdad /;
pero despues Sc le ocurre una
idea peregrina. Para solucio-
mar la crisis del cafe no We Mr..
Wiener mas que un medic.
Todo Ell que vaya a comprar
cafe que 10 pida de Puerto Rico,
en- la seguridad de que saldra
ganando en- ell cambio.
Pero ell mayor enemlgo, el
mas terrible competitor no 10
encuentra nuestro grano en- ell
de lava 9 en- el de Moka, que
son cafes superiores; 10 encuen-
ira en- Ell Brasil. Ell cafe brasi =
ieno que es de una clase infe-
rior y ordinaria, p9ro muy bara-
to, es ell que disfruta Ell merca-
do, Ell gran mercado norteame
ricano a nuestra production ca
fetera.
Y para los consumidores de
cafe brasilefio, no sir7e la reCO-
merdaci0n de Mr.. Wener; por
que esos 10 compran por barato,
porque les gusta, pero, sobre to-
do, es mas barato y eSa cualidad

tumbre fatal para nosotros.
Hace muCho tempo que esta-
mos diciendo a todo Ell mundo
que nuestro cafe es el mejor, y

UN HOMBRE HEROICO

En- ell momento de mayor augusta,
cuando Sc cre1an achiCharrados entire
las llamas 4 los hijos del doctor Mar
cano, tres de los cuales son nif1os de
corta edad un hombre heroico, un va
liente Servidor de la familia Marcano,
exponiendose a grandes peligros,
arrostrando ell riesgo de perecer entire
las llamas que tomaban preparedness
fantasticas, rivalizo con los padres de
las criaturas en- la salvacion de estas.
Un cuadro semejante Sc produjo en-
la morada de don Ramon Sierra.
Cuando abandonaron la casa la es-
posa los hijos del senor Sierra en-
union de este, las llamas iban destru-
yendo parte de la vivienda.
Ell fuego Sc propagaba con gran ra :
pidez; no obstante que no habla fuerte
briSa.
SIN HOGAR
Los hijos y la sef1ora del doctor
Marcano fueron recogidos en- la mo-
rada de los senores de Soliveras, don
de encon;raron refugio tambi6n los del
Sef1or Sierra.
Ell espectaculo que ofreclan ambas
familias era doloroso y triste.
Con las ropas que estaban en- las
camas tuvieron que lanzarse la ca
lie, y todo 10 han perdido en- el in
cendio.
FL doctor Marcaro ha perdido mas
de dos mil dollars entire alhaias, ms =
trumentos de ciruj1a, muebles de valor
y objetos de importancia.
El seflor Sierra ha perdido tambien
todo el moviliario de su casa, prendas,
alhajas etc.
Afortunadamente, no ha habido que
lamentar desgrac1as personales.

te destruidos per el fuego'
No queda de las casas NUN. 80 y 81
otra cosa que algunas paredes cha
muscadas y echadas abajo, fuerza de

JANUARY
WEATHER
Month Was the CoIdeSt In History
of Weather Bureau.

The weather bureau at Albany says
the following about the month of Jan
uary:
The January that closed Sunday
/ ! ices new records on the weather re-
polt,, though it was no colder on the
average than the January of 1916
The average temperature oflast month
was l4s degrees, while January, 1877 =,
was slightly above folr,een degrees.
The highest temperature was forty
eight above, January ., ami the low
est was 23.S jana try !. This shows
a range duriug the month 0! over sew
enty y-one degrees. The mercury dipp-
ed below zero on ten days and the =
cumulated deficiency of temperature
wa about 200 degrees this month.
The precipitation for the month was
'.jl inches, "a decrease of .3S inches
The p pit ltiJn was almost entirely
in the form of snow and sleet.
January not only outiid itself with
the one exception Of 1915, but it's rec
ord shows that no other month has
been colder in the thirty years of the
Weather Bureau service. Residents
have complained bitterly OF the great
consumption of coal, but they need not
wonder when they remark the very
cold menu that Dame Nature has
served them in the last thirty days.
A synopsis from the report from the
North field station shows that the high
est temperature there was 80 above,
lowest 32 below. Mean temperature
was above, against an average for
II years of Is above and exceeded but
once since January 1888, when the
mean was above.
There were clear days, cloudy,
