CO"ITIO"S I. I'OUTO RICX.
United Stales Consul Ilahna, at
San Juan, J'orto Jiico, writes to
the Department of State as follow s:
'I am receiving hundreds of
letters from all classes of people iu
the I'nited States, asking aliout
Porto Kico. Most of these persons
say they intend coming to Porto
Rico for work or to g into busi
ness, and they want to know all
about the country. To go into de
tail and answer all these hundreds
of letters would require the ser
vices of several clerks ; but I have
said to nearly all these inquirers
that no American seeking work
should come to Porto Rico. 1 have
also raid to business men in the
I'nited States that, iu my opinion,
they wuuld lie disappointed if they
came here now to establish them
selves ; that the time had not jet
arrived for an American to go into
business in Porto Rico. I believe
the time will come when this will
be a good field for the i most men t
of American capital, and when
nearly all kinds of business con
ducted in an American style will
be profitable; but that time will
not come until the island has
American government, until the
laws of the I'nited States are en
forced ami tariff changes made.
Then, I believe, this island will
take on new life; but our people
Mho think of doing business iu
Porto Pico should be made to un
tierstand that the existing high
duty ou American products pro-

plantations, etc., or establishing
any kind of business with profit.
Most of our business men who
have come here simply look the
island over, pronounce it rich and
possessing golden prospects for the
future, but decide that it is too
early to invest. The American
press should inform our merchants
and business men of the true situa
tion." Scientific American, De

intercourse among its members,
that they hold such meetings and
at such times as the members may
determine and that the objects of
the society be promoted by re
unions of its members when and
as often as' the organization shall
decide.
On motion of Hon. J. L. Barton,

that lne t.na:r appoint a commit
tee to draft suitable Constitution

jects and government of the so
ciety.

L Barton, W. P. Graham, S. B

31. Todd, Samuel Lapp and others
on the landable nature of the so
ciety and its possibilities, how
widely representative it would be
of the strong men and leading citi
zens of the county, almost every
famil' in the county leiug in some
way attracted to it by having had
some member or kinsman as such
official. In its historical signifi
cance, the association of this class
of men wuuld be most beneficial,
their incumbency of office dating
back to the organization of our
county. While societies, having
for their object the promotion of
the social virtues are without
number, none of them could more
justly claim the merit of excellence
than the proposed one.
On motion the proceedings were
directed to be published in the
county papers.
On motion of Samuel Lapp,
duly seconded, the society ad
joumed to meet at the call of the
Iresident, notice of which meeting
shall be given by publication and

A WILD MAS CAP FRED.
Fcr some time past the residents
in the vicinity of Halifax have
been greatly annoyed by a suppos
ed wild man who has been living
in caves and subsisting on fowls
and food which he look from the
neighboring farms. He has been
carrying on his depredations for
about four months, and has fright
ened off his pursuers each time
Monday morning he was captured
by Constable Walton and was
tightly bound with ropes until the
arrival of a pair of handcuffs.
The man wore several suits of
clothes and refuses to rrive his
name. It is thought he has been
stealing for others and his wild
freaks are only a ruse to keep
away those who would search for
him. His hiding place was traced
by some chickens he had stolen re
cently and discovered by hunters.
The latter notified the authorities
at Halifax. The man was taken
to the county jail, Monday even
ing. Harrisburg Telegraph.
QUALITY TEST FOR rO
TA l OJ?.
We must learn to grade potatoes
according to quality. There is
just as much difference between a
mealy and a soggy potato as there
is between tenderloin and rump
steak. The difficulty is to sort out
the good ones. Here is the potato
test : Wash them and put them
in a tub of water. They will all
sink. Add salt and the poorer,
lighter ones will rise. Those
which finally remain at the bottom
you can warrant every time to be
prime bakers. Not over 10 to 20
per cent, of potatoes will stand the
test. For these your customers
will gladly pay extra prices.
CAIT.BT WITH KODAKS.
"A couple of Tyrone's young
men who had been making them
selves obnoxious to the faculty of
Birmingham Seminary through
frequent clandestine visits to lady
students at that temple of learning.
were identified in a novel manner
not long ago, ac?ording to a story
now out. Three of the lady teach
ers practiced a little strategy, and
secreting themselves in one of the
rustic houses on the grounds at a
proper time gave the young men a
signal. The latter, of course, came
over to the house. When they
eie near euongh the teachers,
armed with kodaks, each snapped
& picture of the boys. They were
very good pictures, too, fur in a
few days a constable notified the
young men it iney wore st-ea again
on the seminary grounds they
would be. dealt with according to
law.''
SHORT WORDS.
Thaj Are the Bt When the Thoughts
Are Worth While.
A dozen or less newspaper men were '
collected together, when somebody Eaid j
arm thi:i ubout Radyard Kipling.
"I notice in the papers," faid an
other, "tlii;t ho is tbo best paid v.ritor
In tho world at present."
"Tbo Pall Mall Gazette people Fay
tbey jaitl him $750 a poem fr.r all they
printed of his," ventr.rcd a third.
"And why not?" put in a fourth.
"He is tiio beet writer cf Ecglisii prose
or verso now writing. That one line cf
his, 'A rag and a bono end a hank of
hair,' describing a vompiro woman,
couldn't bo stronger, I think."
"Good and strong," commented a
fifth, "but Kipling is not the only man
who has chosen monosyllables to give
tmphatio expression to his thought. If j
you will remember, Pope in his eesay
on 'Criticism' remarked, 'And ten low
words oft croep in one dnll line,' and
before and after him there were others,
who, as he, were scarcely dull and sel
dom crept. Hymn writers aro strong in
this. Take Watts in that well known
hymn, for instance:
"Are there no fure for me to face?
Alutit 1 not Btcm the flood f
Is thiH vUe world a friend to grace
To help me on to Qodf
"Shakespeare found one syllabled !
words good enough for him, and you all
know that passage of Young's:
"The br-U strikes one. We take no note of time,
Save by lta lues, oto.
"Bailey's 'Festns,' that makes its
reader feel as if he had 'eaten of the in
sane root that takes the reason prisoner, '
has many examples, aud this one you
will recall:
"We livo Jn deeds, not years; In thoughts, not
breaths.
Wo should count time by heart throba. Be
moet Uvea
Who thinks most, fccla the noblest, acta the
best.
"And the Bible, the greatest of books,
is filled with the short words. Right at
the beginning of things we find, 'And
God said let there be light, and there
was light,' aud at the end of things, so
to speak, 'For the great day of his wrath
is come, and who shall be able to stand?'
and still further along, 'And the gate
of it shall not be shut at all by day, for
there shall bo no night there. '
"Oh, Kipling is all right I He knows
be has plenty of authority for seeking
short words when he wants strong
onus. " Washington Star.
