De "El Porvenir" de Caguas repro
ducimos ell siguiente suelto que ei cta
do diario consagra la memoria de
don Mariana Reyes Pefla, cuyo entie-
rro tuvo lugar aver en- Caguas.
El fnado era hermano de nuestro
|distinguido amigo don Ramon Reyes
Pefla, quien reiteramos nuestro sin
cero pesarne.
Transcrjbimos del college:
"A las II de la noche de aver, falle
clio en- esta ciudad el pundonoroso of
cial de la Policia Insular, nuestro mol
vidable amigo don Mariana Reyes
Pefla.
Fue el teniente Reyes uno de esos
pocos funcionarios que hacen TN quito
del cumplimiento de sus deberes. Sus
meritos servicios en- ell honroso ms
tituto que pcrtenecio, son indiscutl
bleS, al extreme de haberSe captado
la confanza de su pueblo.
La labor del teniente Reyes en- Ca
guas' ha sido una oora altamente me-
ritoria A reiz de I'D acontecimiento
inesperado, de Tin crimen horroroso,
que hizo cundir la alarma y la cons
ternaci6n en- la sociedad cagiie ia, Sc
inicio una serie de robos, TN ctnulo
de des6rdenes que aumentaron el
asombro y la intranquilidad; pero lie
ga Caguas el teniente Reyes, Sc i'm
pone una improba tarea, trabaja sin
descanso por la persecution de los
malhechores, y logra restablecer Ell or
den y la tranquilidad quebrantada.
Y sinembar2o: esos desvelos del com
patricia, esos afanes del funcionario,
no dejaron de tener por recompensa la
ingratitud y Ia mala voluntad de al
gunos.
Siempre hay victimarios que envi-
dien una conciencia honrada, y esta,
puede decirse, ha sido una de las eau
sas que acortaron la vida del amigo y
del fuucionario.
Tras la enfermedad fisica vino ell
quebranto moral; y un Official de pres
tigio, un hombre intachable, de un
esp1ritu elevado, pero debii para re
slstir estaS rudas luchas contra ell in

En- el terreno cprivado, era el le

A Theory That They Are q sign OF
National Decadence.
The distribution of manufactures in
any country would be a most curious
and interesting subject of study. The
first thing to stand out conspicuously
in the investigation would be the grad
nal tendency toward concentration in
the larger cities and the gradual recess
sion Of manufactures outside them.
Certain sections Of the country are full
Of decaying communities, once active
but from which the chief industries
have been withdrawn. If investigation
disclosed the fact that certain centers
Of manufacture had become such
through the possession of pre-eminent
natural advantages, such condition
would be easily explained; but. in fact,
natural advantages have comparative.
~ little to do with the matter.
A country consisting mainly Of large
cities with merely incidental rural pop
ulation has taken a long step toward
final disintegration. Moreover, even IL
actual disintegration is not imminent,
there exists the curious and anoma-
lous condition of a community in which
the transportation and distribution Of
commodities are the predominant ele-
ments, in which producer and consumer
stand at the ends Of long chain OF
Intermediates. It is bad enough IN
this respect even at present. but every
step toward further concentration OF
industry and population makes It
worse. No country in which the pro-
ductiye forces are steadily being sub
ordinated to an intricate land. upon the
whole. wastefull mechanism Of distri-

QUARANTINE STATIONS
UNDER FEDERAL CONTROL.

It is conceded that the yellow fever
was brought to New Orleans on a fruit
steamer and was due directly to the
commercial greed that allowed the
vessel to pass quarantine before a
Sufficient time had elapsed to allow
the fever to make itself manifest.
Since the infection Of New Orleans the
proposition has been advanced to
place all quarantine stations under
federal control. The Birmingham Age
Herald Of yesterday has che following
70 say upon the subject:
The quarantine at Galveston, New
Orleans and Mobile had up to Wednes-
day Of this week been considered
strictly on commercial, instead of
public health, lines. A warm rivalry has
been going on over the fruit trade from
the tropics. New Orleans has been
losing to Mobile its grip upon that
trade. and both have been permitting
fruit ships to pass quarantine without
much delay. Il was the fruit trade,
not the health of the people. that was
considered, and New Orleans caught
the fever germs from this unseemly
and utterly unsafe strife.
The remedy consists in placing the
quarantine stations under federal con-
troll. This has been done all along
the South Atlantic coast-in North
Carolina, Georgia and Florida. For
commercial reasOns-fruit trade rea-
sons-Aiabama, Louisiana and Texas
Lave refused 20 do away with state or
municipal control.
II federal management Of the quar-
antine stations on the guilt coast were
conceded, there would be no more vel
low fever In this country. A case or
two might creep In. but all physicians
now know how 70 handle the sparodic
case Il is necessary to keep on by
netting the mosquito, which alone can
transmit the germs of disease. But

There are still bedrooms wherein
can be found reminders OF bygone
age in the form of unwieldy bedsteads
with their monster bedposts and side
parts almost as large as bridge tim
Der. and which afford convenient
camping grounds for vermin. Such
bedsteads usually have for their i'm
mediate companions some Of the old
fashioned bed springs, which appear
very crude when compared with the
elegant and simple springs now found
in all up-to-date homes.
The simple iron bedstead. with its
woven wire springs, provided with
some of the later contriyances to pre-
vent sagging in the center, represents
the highest form of evolution in the
line of beds. It is comfortable. read
lily moved about. easily slowed away.
and, best of all, affords no lodging
places for either dust OF vermin- Il
can be readily cleansed if for any
cause it has been exposed OF danger
Gus infective disease, and for its very
simplicity and neatness is a suitable
ornament for any bedroom
The passing away of sthe good old
DAYS" has deprived US of much that
was substantial and real. which has
been replaced by the shallow and ar
tifcial. but it is certainly a matter for
congratulation that modern ciyiliza
ton has emancipated us from the pes
tIential feather bed that used to be
passed down from generation to gen
Grafton as a cherished heirloom. Tbs
oId-fashioned quilts which were re
covered again ard again at quilting
bees. gradually became liable TO the
same objection as the tfme-honored
feather bed.
1t should always be remembered
that bed clothes are not warm in pro
portion to their weight. but just to the
extent that they have the ability to re
tain heat. and that this depends more
upon the looseness of their texture
than upon the amount of cotton that
can be matted together and covered
again and again with new quilting.
All bedclothes. without regard TO
the material from which they are con-
structed. should every week spead a
few hours becoming acquainted with
sunlight. and thereby have the add
tional advantage of thoroughgoing
outdoor ventilation.
