BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1905-10-17

The Theatre of San Juan is in Sc
rious danger. Rumors have been cir,
culating for the last few days, all OF
which are of distressing import, and
although they are not absolutely con-
frmed, they have acquired weight and
importance, thanks to the indifference
with which the Ayuntamiento allows
them to circulate without attempting
to deny them.
1t has been said that when there is
insufficient accommodation for priso-
ners in the Municipal Jail, they are
taken to the theatre, and it has also
been repeated with insistence that the
theatre is rendevouz for homeless
people.
Then again, nothing has been done
towards repairing the theatre since it
was closed by order of the Superior
Board of Health, save to get rid OF the
few seats which were not already bro
ken.
1t has likewise been said that the
Theatre is included in the list of build
ings that the Municipality wishes to
dispose of at public auction, because it
has no funds with which to provide
the necessary repairs.
All this, as can readily be seen, is of
extraordinary importance and indica-
tes grave danger which must be av :
oided at all hazards
Judging from all signs, it seems
that we are no longer to have The
atre in the capital city of Porto Rico.
1t would appear as if the Ayunta :
miento had not appreciated what a
theatre means to city of the impor-
tance of ours, and it also looks very
much as if this lack of appreciation
was shared by the general public,
which manifests an n o pre-
hensible indifference to the passing
of the days, weeks and months witho-
ut there being the slightest indica
tion of the beginning of the work on
the repairs.
The Municipality blames the Supe-
rlor Board of Health, and the latter
will no doubt seek to base the rea-
sons for its 7adicalism on the utter
lack of care, the complete abandon
ment on the part of the Ayuntamiento
of the only theatre in San Juan.
If the Municipality does not know
what theatre is, nor realize its i'm
portance to the community, it is neces
sa1y that it should 6nd cat.
If the Superior Board of Health has
reasons for keeping our theatre closed,
it is highly desirable that it should
make them known without further
delay, in order that the public may
not attribute it's order depriving the
Porto Rican artists of the place in
which to exercise their talents to mere
caprice. And when these reasons are
fully known with the clearnes that is
essential in matters of such importan-
ce, it will also be proper that the

YE SAILOR MANS STORY
TELLS OF THE TROPICS WHERE
THE FISH AND DUCKS ARE
DROWNED.

'sTo hear the fuss raised about the
few drops of rain that have been falling
in the last day or two, stranger
might think that Minneapolis is the
rainspot center of the globe,' declared
Private Stevens as he unpacked his win
station today. "Why, little sprinkle
in the tropics would make the rain here
look like thirty cents in Mexican money.
What you we been having here might be
called a Scotch mist, but hardly rain.
"To know what rain is you ought to
be on gunboat in Manila harbor dur
ing the rainy season: A shower there
lasts about twenty days. Here it is
big event if it rains an inch and. a
inches day. Besides that, the high
temperature permits much greater hui
nudity and perpetual swim about de-
scribes the condition.
'Here are few actual figures. One
recorded rain in Japan showed 29.5
inches, and in the Chassia hills in India
the total for one day was 1915. The
season. that we were drifting around the
Indian ports the total fall was 470
inches. MINNEAPOLIS has an unusual
rainy year if twenty-nine inches fall
the rain belt, SO to speak, as per cent
of the land surface of the globe has over
seventy-fve inches a year.
The only way to live in those coun-
tries is to be sealed up Theoretically.
If you don't lock your shoes up in tin
box at night, they are covered with a
thick white mold in the morning. The
only clothes you can wear are white
ducks and if you stay in the house you
wiring water out Of them. Kid gloves
spoil in fifteen minutes and the mold
even grows on a pipe while you are
smoking it. If you have to be out, there
is no use carrying an umbrella The
people simply take their ducking an6
don It think anything about it. -

MEIGHEN GOES ON BOARD
MAN WHO FOUGHT GOVERNOR
NsONS LAST FALL TEN
DERED A PLACE ON BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION.

Thomas J. Meighen Of Forestville,
Fillmore county, has been offered a
place on the state board of ,equaliza-
tion by Governor Johnson and has &C
cepted.f i He was a. member OF the board
under the Lind administration and
Lind IS running mate onri the fusion
ticket in one Of his campaigns. He
Joined the middle-of -the-road' or
ganization later, and in 1902 made the
run on the populist ticket for governor.
The peculiar thing about the appoint
ment is that 'Meighen, altho still a
populist, actively supported R. c. Dunn
for governor last fall. He wrote a
letter which was widely circulated by
the republican committee, urging his
brother populists to vote for Dunn.
His reason for this was that when on
the board of equalization before, he
worked with Dunn in an effort to raise
the assessments Of the public service
corpora lions, and he wanted to see that
movement carried on.
In appointing Meighen, Governor
Johnson is apparently committing him
self to the Lind policy of equalization;
The Fillmore county man is expected
to take an aggressive stand on the
board He will represent the tenth
judicial district, succeeding Truels Paul
son of Spring Grove.
The governor has nine appointments
to make on the board, but none have
been announced. That Of Meighen has
leaked out, also that of R. T. DAILY of
Renville for the twelfth district.

IMMENSE GAIN
IN POPULATION
PARTIAL RETURNS SHOW HEAVY
INCREASE.
The Work of Counting Noses Is Pro-
crossing Rapidly and a FoIow--Up
System Of Checking Is Proving of
Value One Enumeration Makes
Rather Ludicrous Blunder.

Based on practically complete re-
turns Of several enumeration districts,
Minneapolis will show an immense
gain in population when the census is
complete. One district in North Min
neapolis shows gain of l05 per cent
over the national census Of 1900, and
every one which has been covered once
shows considerable gain. A slight
falling off is expected in some of the
downtown districts where dwellings
and cheap lodging houses have been re-
moved to make room for larger build
ings or business blocks.
The work is progressing rapidly and
by the end of this week the count will
be practically completed in some dis
tricts. They will be gone over a sec
ond time tho, to make sure that none
have escaped. The office force is busy
checking up the factory lists with the
| population schedules turned in by the
enumerators, and it has been found
that some have been missed. This is
especially true in thickly settled dis
tricts where several families live in
one house. Families who have lived in
the city for years have been missed
in this way by the regular enumer
ators, but have been found by means
of the special count taken in factories
and mills.
A ludicrous clerical error was discov-
cred in the office this morning when it
was found that an enumerator had a
saloonkeeper and two bartenders liv-
ing in the old city hall, now occupied
by the Salvation Army.

She says that the man was her hus-
band, altho he has been positively iden-

have drowned himself. Mrs. Vierling
identified the body by a scar on the
abdomen, but the authorities say that
her husband disappeared last July and
they think he is still in St. Paul.
When the body of Swan Lindahl, the
former Minneapolis policeman, was
taken from the river last week, she
identified that also as her husband.
