De Aguadilla


Horrible fue Ia desgracis ocurrida
aver, q las Siete de la tarde, cuando
Eenia el ferrocarril de Ponce, entran-
do q esta Villa, y un nifio de IL afios
de edad, 1lamado Sixto Montalvo, quiSo
montarse al tren cuando caminaba y
10 hizo con tan mala Suerte, que Ell po-
brecito cayo debajo, en- la via, pasan-
dole todos los fu1gones de carga por
encima, dividiendo en- dos pedazos
igua1es el cuerpecito de la criatura.
Inmediatamente corrio la noticia, y
el pueblo en- masa acudio al Sitjo de
la ocurrencia, frenre las casas de d.
Augusta Font don Jose Ramirez,
ha1lando ALI aquel infeliz nifio, partido
por el mismo medic. Ell Juzgado Sc
ConStituyo en- el 1ugar del siniestro y

dazos de la pobre criatura y trasladar-
los a la capilla del Campo Santo.
Que desesperacion mas grande fue
la de sus padres, al yer sobre la via al
ser querido de suS entrafiaS, mutilado
horriblemente
Aquel acto fue angustioso, conmo-
vedor.
va hac1a tempo venlamos 1lamando
la atencion sobre esoS nifios que todos

aguardaban para montarSe deSde las

diatamente; en- loa ocurrido ninguna

cuenta de 10 que pasaba detras de la
maquina.
En- cuanto declararon los testigoS
y personas peritas el interesado fue

juSticia.
Bueno ser1a que Ell sefor Alcalde
publicase un bando energico, castigan-
do severamente los padres de esos
nifios abandonados, para evitar mas
deSgracias a esos seres inocentes; 81 no
Sc hace este, no tardaremos muchos
dfas en- registrar nuevos sucesos, tan
aristes como el que comentamos.
La polic1a, en- vez de hacer denun-
cias f1tiles, como son muchas de las
que hace, debe ocuparse en- denunciar
a los padres de familia que tienen suS
hijos vagando por las GALES, y solo
asi Aguadilla no tendra que contem-
plar espectaculos horrendos, como Ell
sucedido aver en- Ell nifio Sixto Mon
ta1vo, que Ia Providencia haya acogi-
do en- Su seno.
Aguadilla entera Sc ha impresiona-
do profundamente con la espantoSa
,desgracia relatada y llora con los in
fe1ices padres la desventura que les
af1ige, para darles valor y resignation,
ante estos dos seres no podran tener
iamas consuelo en- yer la muerte cruel
que ha tenido su pobre hijo.

he is unbending; but no man has been
in the White House for many years
who is so ready to take advice, who
has made up his mind more slowly,
more deliberately, and after more con-
sultation than Theodore Roosevelt.
Every nation, or, rather, every his
toric race, has certain attributes. In
addition to the great and more obvious
virtues which it believes to be peculiar
ly it's own, and in which 1t takes an
especial pride We of the United States
like to think of the typical American
as brave man and an honest man,
very human, with no vain pretense to
infallibility We would have him sim
pie in his home life, democratic In his
ways, with the highest education that
the world can give, kind to the weak,
tender and loyal and true, never quar-
relsome, but never afraid to fight, with
strong, sane sense of humor, and
with strain of adventure in the blood
which we shall never cease to love UNI
til those ancestors of ours who con-
quered continent have drifted a good
deal further into the past than is the
case to-day. These are the qualities
which all men admire and respect, and
which thus combined we like to think
peculiarly American. AS / enumerate
them, describe Theodore Roosevelt"

SENATOR LODGE EXPLAINS
ABOUT SHAW LETTER,

Quincy, Mass, Oct. Ex-senator
Henry Cabot Lodge was the principal
speaker at a Republican rally tonight.
His address was in part a reply to the
speech of Senator Culberson at New
York last night.
Senator Lodge said President
Roosevelt's letter TO DR.. Albert Shaw,
which Mr.. Culberson quoted. was not
new, having been published year
ago, and declared 1t proved the ex-
act reverse of what was claimed for IT..
THE letter" said Mr. Lodge, dem
onstrates not that the President was
guilty OF completely in the Panama
revolution, but that he had absolute
ly refused TO do anything which could
by any possibility be taken as en-
couragement to the projects OF revolu-
ton"
Senator Lodge denied that the let
ter was withheld from the Senate, say
ing It was a private letter which would
not be sent to the Senate. Mr. Lodge
said that, at the request OF the Demo-
cratic senators, he procured a copy
of the letter and gave 1t 70 Senators
German and Culberson, and that the
Panama treaty went to a vote with
the letter in possession of Democratic
senators.

roosevelt as Henry Cabot Lodse Sees Hir

New York, Oct. 21.-In McClures for
November, Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge gives a glimpse of President
Roosevelt as he sees him. He says
OF him:
mo man has lived the life of his
time so amply as he; no one has shown
humanity in so many phases; no one
has wider sympathies or so many in
terests. 1t would be worse than idle
for any one, no matter how intimate
his knowledge, to fancy that he could
depict a character so many sided, so
tried and tested in such multiform ex-
periences within the space allowed me
here. His daily life does not differ in
any respect from that of any other
very busy man of great energy who
find rest and relief not only in
active out-of-door life, but in a wide
and constant reading of books-a habit,
by the way, quite as characteristic as
any others, but of which the news
paper critics and humorists tell US lit
tie.
Theodore Roosevelt apprehends very
quickly When he has thought a sub
ject out thoroughly, and knows what
he means to do, he acts promptly.

Colon, Oct. 21.-News reached here
this evening that about 200 armed men

Panamanians, rather than Colombian
soldiers, have been seen in the neigh

titles against the Panama government.
AS soon as the American authorities
Of the canal zone became cognizant of
the appearance of this force marines

killed, but there is no confirmation Of

HOUSE OF BISHOPS
FAIL TO VOTE.
VIII Take Up the Divorce Question
Again To-day.


Boston, Oct 21.-The only important
piece of legislation adopted at the
Episcopal General Convention to-day
was a resolution in the House of Dep
uties which provides for special forms
of worship to meet the requirements
of foreign congregations, which might
be brought into the church.
The resolution was presented some
time ago by DR.. William r. Hunting
ton of New York. The proposition was
bitterly fought at the San Francisco
convention, and met with considera-
BILE opposition here, many claiming
that the measure would lead to great
diversity in forms of worship. Tho res
olution will be acted upon by the
House of Bishops.
In executive session the House of
Deputies elected missionary bishops as
follows: Bishop of Salt Lake, Rev.
Franklin s. Spaulding of Erie. Pa.
Bishop of Hankow, China, Rev. Logan
H. Roots of Hankow, formerly OF Ar
kansas; Bishop of Mexico, Rev. Henry
ID. AYES of Houston, Tex; Bishop Of
Cuba, Very Rev. Albion w. Knight,
dean of st. Philips Cathedral, Atlanta.
The House Of Bishops considered
the amendment to the divorce canon,
placing further restrictions upon the
remarriage of innocent persons in a
divorce for infidelity, which was
adopted by the deputies yesterday as
compromise, but after discussing the
matter In secret session for two hours
and half. a vote was deferred until
tomorrow.

they place implicit reliance in Alton

clear perception of the path of duty,
in his steadfast persistency against
all temptation to leave the way where
duty leads, and in his safe and con-
sentative conceptions of presidential

PAINTING A SNAKE.
The boa Constructor Not Reassuring
as sitter.
From the Windsor Magazine.


From the Windsor Magazine.
The Hon. John Collier had an excit-
ing experience while painting "Lilith."
His "Lilith" wears a snake in very
convenient coils about her. A famous
animal dealer Of Liverpool, out Of re-
gard to the painters uncle, a county
court judge. offered TO lend him any
thing from his stock that he might
want In the making Of his picture. The
menAgerie was visited and a large boa
constructor was chosen.
Mr. Collier had hired a little studio
In Liverpool. and thither came the
new and strange sitter" The boa
constructor coiled about his keepeH
who had him in complete control by
holding him by the neck. II was a
cold day and the boa was so torpid
that the keeper thought 1t quite pru-
dent to divest him of the snake and
to go out to luncheon, leaving the liv-
ing coil, ten feet long, upon the floor.
The artist remained: he poked the fire,
and the heat came out in waves. The
boat constructor. made less sluggish by
the warmth. began to wake up and
then to move. The artist did not stir
at first. but when the boa constructor
made his way TO an inner room COM
municating with the rest OF the house,
Mr.. Collier, not knowing how unwel-
come and dangerous such an unexpect-
ed visitor might contrlve to be, sprang
forward In time to catch him by the
tail.
For p moment there was a pause.
and then the great boa constructor
glided forward and was lost to the art
lists sight The keeper returned TO
ind his charge comfortable enough as
an intruder, sleeping the sleep Of inno-
cence. Finally the snake was chloro-
formed. In order that he might more
placidiy complete his sittings.

Augusta, Oct. BE. B. Mullens of
Summit, Ga, was found on the streets
here to-day in an unsound mental con-

He has been missing two months
and detectives have been trying to
solve the mystery of his disappearance

suspected of having had a hand in
the killing.
When recognized to-day, Mullens did
not deny his identity, but made a
rambling statement that gave no clue
as to where he had spent the past few
weeks. He is being held until the ar

New York. Oct. 21-Former Presi-

for November gives his personal esti-
mate of Judge Parker as a candidate
for President. He says of him in part:
I'VE sometimes find features of
character so prominently visible in a
mans mental organization that, like
the features of his countenance, they
need no proof of their existence. This
SIS pre-eminently true of Judge Park
er's intent elaboration in reaching
conclusions and his inherent judicial
conservatism. These qualities of his
mind are so distinctly apparent that
they are at once seen and known by
all who gain the slightest knowledge
of the man. This would make it thor
oughly understood that those who
love presidential pyrotechnics must
look elsewhere.
