HAVE RETURNED
FROM PUERTO RICO
INTERESTING VISIT OP A PARTY
OF SCRANTONIANS.
It Was Made Up of Col. imd Mrs. H.
M. Boles, Miss Boles, E. B. Sturges
and F. E. Piatt Colonel Boles
Views on the Island nnd Its Future.
Tho Peoplo Are lrv the Most Abject
Poverty Improvements Made by
Our Government Aro Doing Much
for the Betterment of Island.
The party consisting of Colonel and
Mr. h. M. Holes, Miss Holes, Messrs
13. H. Sturfres and F. K. Plntt returned
on Wednesday from n three weeks'
visit to Puerto Illco. and have many
Intel cstlng experiences to relnlp. Tho
views of Colonel Holes naturally carry
much weight, because of his Intel est
In public affairs, charitable and mili
tary organizations, etc., and his Intel
ligent Investigation of existing condi
tions, lie Is most enthusiastic over tho
splendid showing of our government
In tho Island and declares that too
much cannot bp said In praise of tho
marvelous results already accomplish
ed. The sanitary work nlono merits
great commendation. Tho streets nro
cleaner thnn our own, and are swept
every day. Extensive Improvements
aro being made In many directions,
thus giving employment to ths natives
nnd lellevlng their dire necessity.
In speaking of tho tariff bill just
passed, Colonel Holes said: "It Is an
absolute1 necessity. All sugar, coffee;
and tobacco has been bought by the
trusts already, and tho payment was
made and long ago It has gono back
Into tho hands of the Spaniards and the
priests to whom the entlro ptopcrty
on the island Is mottgaged. The tariff
ocr which such a howl is made by
some peoplo In this country comes out
of the trusts, and It Is the trusta that
made tho great objection to the addi
tional pittance charged. It will mrd
three and onehalf millions to tun I ho
local government nnd compMo tho
municipal and public woiks. It Is an
absolute necessity that onio of this
money must be secured by the tnrlff,
as It Is Impossible to raise it by inter
nal taxation.
IN ABJECT POVERTY.
"The peoplo nic In the most ab
ject poverty. Theie uto 000.000 of
them, and from 75,000 to 90,000 only
can lead, or write, and ore pioperty
holders. The rest -ire In ;i condition
of the deepest Miualor. 1 saw one
Spanish nobleman's house of two stor
ies and little rooms, SxlO feet In sUe,
In each of which families numbering
from ten to twelve persons vshlod.
There? wero thirteen such families In
the one house, which rather heats the
record of certain districts In this lc-
lnlty."
Colonel Holes, while not assuming
that the United State3 has bought a
gold brick In the case of Puerto Itlco,
docs consider that the redemption of
the Puerto HIcan peso Is a clear swin
dle. He had a peso which at first
sight looks like an American dollar.
It is very light, however, and the
valtio Is Just forty-five cents. Our
government Is redeeming It for sixty
cents. The peso bears a graceful pret
ty profile of tho boy King of Spain,
with the legend, "Alfonso Kill, P. C.
G. D. D." Whatever this section ot
the alphabet may mean, followed by
"Hey C. Do Espana 1693."
Colonel Holes says that the Impov
erished condition of the natives Is past
description. They were left crushed
and helpless 'under Spain's bondage,
then fhe war arose with Its horrors,
not so great as Cuba's, but terrible
enough, and last August along came
a tornado which simply devastated tho
island, which not only destroyed the
crops of toba'co ami sugar cane with
the mills, but utterly wiped off the
earth the sole mcana of support of tho
poor native, tho bananas which kept
life in their miserable bodies. Thcrs
Is now no fruit on the island, although
a blori'ia planter has just brought a
quantity of young orange trees which
will snon bo bearing. The results of
the tornado were most disastrous for
It destroyed the machinery and crops
of the planters, thus cutting off tho
chance of employment for the lnborers,
whose sufferings have been therefore
moi o extreme.
GOOD SCHOOLS.
Colonel Holes was particularly Inter
ested in the progress of civilization
untW our government In the way of
education. lie found tju schools of
San Junn In a fine condition and oddlv
enough under the supervision of a car
bondale man, G. 11. Benedict, who is
doing excellent work. Theie aro twon
tyi'lno school? In tha't city, with 1,100
pupils on the waiting list, for whom
there are now no places.
Colonel Huff, n surgeon of the Uni
ted States army. Is In charge of thi
board of charities and corrections. Un
der his directions 600 tons of food a
week. Is being distributed to the poor
nnd starving natives.
"The penitentiary of San Juan," said
tho colonel, "Is a model Institution, and
could well bo Imitated In Its entlro
methods by any in the United States.
It was the tlrst thttipr built by tho gov
ernment after our occupation of the
town. I counted twenty-five occupa
tions which employ the time of tho
f,0t) prisoners. They make everything
they wear and much to sell. They aro
tho same type as those seen in the
Eastern penitentiary, but they seem
moi e tractable. They do all tho street
cleaning, under guaul, of course, and
In their white garb look not unlike tho
"White Wings" of New York. Sixty
of thein constitute a. squad ot clenncis.
"Tho Soanlards havu left us ono
splendid tnemoiltil," ho continued, "and
that Is tho great military road sixty
eight miles long, the finest thorough
faio I ever saw In any country. It Is
kept In perfect condition, every two
miles them being an adobe house In
which lives a supervisor, whoso duty It
Is to look after his section. It is the
Intention of the government to tukct
these dwellings for school houses. A
feature which struck us during our
drives was the presenco of beautiful
llttlo stone arched bridges, with rich
carvings on the balustrades. Tho
horses gallop up and down hill the
lessly over this magnificent drive.
SOLDIERS' GOOD QUARTEHS.
"The United States army has better
quarters than ever tho froldlcis saw In
their lives. Iuiaciue handsome stono
barracks all aiound the court houso
square, opening Into u court In,tha
centre, and from the portlcoH com
manding exquisite views over tho fcca."
When questioned as to his views ot
tho future of tho Puerto Itlcans. Col
onel Boles shook his head. "They arn
shiftless and Improvident, and utterly
Ignorant of any Idea of what Amerl
rnnlsin means. In fifty years or so
they may be stlmulntod by a dcslro to
acquire property or to achieve ofuelal
prominence, but not In this generation.
TJ10 northerner who goes down there
soon becomes enervated by the climate
and wants to do as the natives, sleep
half the time. A Han Antonio capital
ist, who enmo there with tho Intention
of looking up a point for Investments,
remarked In strong language that there
Is absolutely nothing on tho Island to
warrant any outlay of tho kind. Tho
land Is fertllo beyovd description, tho
climate Is chnrmlng, nnd there Is nn
nbundnncc of good water. Now that
thu effects of recent dlsasteis nro
wearing off and business, which was
utterly paralyzed during our visit
while awaiting the tariff decision, Is
resumed, tho condition of tho natives
must Improve. Whatever advanco they
make In civilization must, however, bo
done because It Is Imposed on them by
our government, not because they are
ambitious or realize tho greatness of
their opportunities."
JOHN NOLAN DIES.
Aged Carbondallan Succumbed to
Injuries Inflicted by His Son,
"Wednesday Night.
John Nolan died at the Emergency
hospital, Carbondale, last evening at C
o'clock from Injuries Indicted by his
son, James, on Wednesday night. At
the trephining operation fourteen
pieces of bone were removed from the
skull fractured Just behind the ear.
It was learned yesterday that tho
mother and sister, who were supposed
to have witnessed the fatal blow, wero
driven from the house, and, while they
were after help, tho light between
father and son was continued In tho
yard.
When they returned the father was
lying on the porch unconscious.
At the hearincr before Alderman
Jones, the son did not deny striking
his father, but attempted to Justify his
act by saying the old man was chasing
his mother and sister with a knife. He
was taken to the county Jail by Con
stable Neary.
Coroner Itoberts will Investigate the
case today.
' I
A VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
Trolley Car Barely Misses Being
Struck by a Locomotive.
Tho passengers on nn Inbound Tay-lor-Throop
trolley car had n, narrow
escape, about 4.30 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon, from either death or serious
Injury nt the West Lackawanna ave
nue crossing. The car, which was
crowded, was In charge of Conductor
Arthur Williams and Motorman Pat
rick JIcNulty.
The car was at tho foot ot the hill
nnd Just outside the gates, which were
lowered, to allow a passenger train to
pass. As soon as this had passed the
gates were raised and tho conductor
signalled to come ahead. Neither he
nor the gateman hnd noticed a coal
train which was coming on at a lively
rate of speed from the north.
Tho motorman didn't notice It, either,
until tho front of his car was upon
the track and Just In front of the loco
motive. With rare presence ot mind he
reversed tho power and tho car had
Just barely got off the tiack when the
train went by almost skinning tho
fender. The passengers wero very
much excited.
THE THIRD FALSE ALARM.
Was Turned in This Morning at 1
O'clock from Box 25.
There resides In tho vicinity of Ad
ams avenue and Olive street a person
who seems Insane and possessed of a
mania for seeing the city's lire depart
ment In action. Tho third false alarm
from box 23 was turned In this morn
ing about I o'clock.
Within three weeks another false
alarm has been turned In from box 29,
at the corner of Pine street and Mon
roe avenue, In the same vicinity.
The box In question Is one, the keys
for which are kept at private dwell
ings nearbv-so that the person had a
key of his own. This ho left In tho
box, and It was taken In charge by
ono of the firemen. A reward of $23 Is
offered for the arrest of this mysteri
ous personage,

LUTHER KELLER
ornrc LIBRARY
SPOKE AT LAST NIGHT'S MEET
ING OF COMMON COUNCIL.
Opposed tho Resolution Directing
That Library Claims Come Beforo
Auditing Committee and Showed
That at Present Vouchers Aro
Paid Only After Receiving Four
Distinct Signatures Contended
Also That the Deed of Trust Takes
Library Out of Council's Hands.
Common Councilman Luther Keller
succeeded last night In having the reso
lution providing for the auditing ot all
public library claims by the auditing
committee, referred to a special com
mittee to act In conjunction with the
city solicitor. He also made a lengthy
speech against the resolution, In which
he Introduced arguments that could
not bo refuted by any of those favor
ing the measure.
After claiming that the resolution Is
a positive reflection upon tho present
excellent management of the library,
he stated that he had gone to Mr. Mel
vln, who Introduced It, and asked for
his reasons for so dolus. There were
three or four offered by that gentle
man, he said, the first being that as
at present-arranged, "'one man runs the
whole thing, the librarian." '
Mr. Keller then produced a voucher,
or warrant, upon the treasurer for a
payment of a bill and showed that It
had upon It four signatures, that ot
Librarian Carr, that of Rev. Rogers
Israel, chairman of the library com
mittee; that of Thomas Dale, ohalr-
man of the finance committee, and that
of Alfred Hand, president of the board.
After passing through the hands of the
first three gontomen, Mr. Keller said
that the warant had to pass tho whole
Itoard of trustees before It could bo
paid. This, ho said, dldnt look like
"ono man running the whole thing."
Another point that Mr. Melvln had
raised, said Mr. Keller, was that "tho
llbraryshould be run the same as every
other city department. There was
some grounds for this argument, Air.
Keller contended, but not a great deal.
He produced the ordinance passed by
councils, accepting the deed of trust
for the library property from the Al
bright heirs. He showed that In this
ordinance, and In the deed of trust
Itself, there Is a clause which reads,
"the library shall be managed and con
trolled by a board ot sixteen trustees."
REFERRED TO COMMITTEE.
He claimed that this clause In Itself
practically does away with the whole
question and amended the original mo
tion to read that tho matter be re
ferred to a special committee in con-
Junction with the city solicitor. Mr.
Grler, who had made tho motion to
concur, spoke against the amendment
very' vigorously, and said that If coun
cils appropriated the money they
should see how It was spent. AVhen
.asked to explain how the clause In the
deed, mentioned above.eould be bridged
over, ho admitted that he couldn't
argue along that line.
Mr. Calpln favored the pnssage of
the original resolution, arguing as had
Mr. Grler. Mr. "Jilzelman stated that
eveiy month the auditing committee
received a statement of thu money ex
pended out of the library appropria
tion and though It was not Itemized It
should be sulllclent. Mr. Keller's
amendment to refer to committee was
carried bv the following vote, those
voting In tho negative being all Demo
crats: Yeas Itcesc, Griffiths, Goilshall, .Izclman,
Tewkeshurj, Nagell, Wcnrcl, Watkins, Keller, T.
V. Morrls-10.
Najs drier, Calpln, ltuane, Phillips, (iilcin,
Coleman, C'uslck, Noiton S.
Mr. Grler thereupon arose and made
the rather astonishing statement that
as no special number of members was
provided In Mr. Keller's amendment,
that therefore the whole council com
prised the committee, and he wanted
the matter brought up again. Chair
man Griffiths ruled that the matter
lay nt the discretion of the chair, and
accordingly appointed the following
committee: Messrs. Keller, Tewkes
bury, Zizelman, T. F. Morris and Cal
pln. Thus was the Incident closed, lor
the present at least.
Mr. Wntklns introduced, as hnd hen
anticipated, the otdlnanco piovldlng
for tho Issuance of $273,203.81 wotth of
sewer bonds. He Introduced an accom
panying resolution providing that the
city clerk on the pnssage "of the or
dinance, print the same in the new
papeis of the city. This resolution was
adopted.
TO MOVE HOSE COMi'A.Y.
Mr. Wenzel Introduced a resolution
providing for the removal of one of tho
North Scranton hose companies ft run
West Mniket stieet to a position at the
corner of North Main avenue and
Providence road. This was Introduced,
he said, In behalf of M. V. Morris, who
was absent. Mr. Grler moved that
action be postoned until Mr. Morris
Is present to explain the resolution.
The motion to postpono was adopted.
Tho following rceolutlons were In-
traduced and passed
Dy Mr. fScHlsliall Permitting George Cooper to

same as lait year's. A number of tho
minor provisions' of tho latt;r, how
ever, aro h'ft out. Tho ordinance pro
viding for tho rilling of the approaches

and passed two readings.

It Is Dangerous to Neglect a Cold.
Pneumonia is one of the most dan
gerous and fatal diseases. It always
results from a cold. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy will quickly cure a cold
und perhaps prevent an attack ot
pneumonia. It Is In fact made espe
cially for that ailment nnd has become
famous for its cures over a large part
of the civilized world. It counteracts
any tendency ot a cold toward pneu
monia. Can you afford to neglect your
cold when so reliable a remedy can be

The Name
"Snow White" no more
appropriate name could have
been chosen for this excel
lent flour. So expressive

what it is, in looks nnd
purity. Ask your grocer
for a trial sack of 25 lbs.
Tt will please you.
