We are pleased to see Mayor
Power exerting himself IN the en-
forcement of all laws pertaining
to minors entering places where
liquor is sold within the City
limits. HIS Honor has had post
ed an ordinance on the subject,
which should be warning moi
only to the dispenser of the bev-
erage but to the minors them
selves. 1t is often the case that
minors frequent these saloons,
contrary to the owners wish, Of
ten. stating that they are OF age
when it is generally known that
thew are minors and not entitled
to frequent barrooms. The Ponce
Officials could do a great deal IN
the enforcement of these ordl-
nances and we sincerity hope they
will bestir themselves in the tu
ture. 4 ~

morning at about one O'Clock 10y
the cries of fire which proved 10
be the home of DR.. A. e. Emmer,
which was totally destroyed and
only a few pieces of furniture
saved from the flames. The hre
evidently caught from a defec.
tive fue as the family had used
the kitchen stove at late hour
on Saturday night. The home
adjoining, owned by Mr.. }. A.
Fagot had a very marrow escape:
IN fact had it not been for sew
eral pear trees separating the two
properties which kept the heat
off the building there is but lit
tie doubt the flames would have
caused the loss of both residen-
ces before the Fire Department
could have saved it. DR.. EN-
mer's losses will fall quite heavy
upon him as Little insurance was
carried on the building. We are
informed that he will rebuild at
an early date.
