. that wagon roads,
According to Gen. Roy Stone, Porto
Mo islandson'ers. a splendid field for
Mei-lean electric railway engineers.
The roads in the interior are in a
chronic state at impossibility by any
but the lightest vehicles. Oxen sink
to'rthelr knees, and arts to their axles,
and the transportationof the native
products from the interior to the sea
ports is so difficult and expensive that
the commerce of the whole island is
greviously hampered. There is Splen-
did soil nor cofl-‘ee, but it costs $2 a
hundred-weight lto timing the berry
from the plantations to the coast, on
the heads of men or women, or on
pack animals. In bringing out sugar
from the distant plantations to the
wharf the difficulty of transportation
is still more detrimental to lthe inter-
ests of the estates. Gen, Stone thinks
as known in the
states, will never be practicable to
any great extent in Porto Rico, where
the rains are heavy and destructive;
but he believes that electric roads will
do all that is needed, and that there
will soon be a net-work of them over
the island. The power for generating
current is ready to the hand of the
engineer. The rivers rise .in the moun-
tains in the interior and have an aver—
age fall of 2500 feet in their short race
to the see. From» this abundance of
water, constantly pouring over high
falls, the power for the electric roads
could be easily med. The roads
themselves could be graded so as to
sufi'er the minimum of damage from
the tropical rains. The Porto Rico
laborer is described as resembling the
Italian of the same class. His labor
is cheap, about one-fourth that of an
E’fmerican laborer; he is cheerful, in-
dustrious and econimical, and it takes
little to clothe and fepgéhim. It is a
most hopeful and ep’hEppmgimg sign
:that‘ almost every one on the island is
already beginning pplfifii English.
iElectric roads for ffe'ighit and passen-
‘gers will ope-u out the resources of the
whole island, including sugar, coffee,
tobacco, bananas, cocoanuts and a
multitude of delicious fruits to the
American market. Gen. Stone also
prophesies that in a few years
Porto Rico will be the winter resort
of America. Its climate equals that of
Florida or Cuba, and its scenery is
magnificent. As soon as the electric
roads open up communication with the.
interior, the tourist will be able to
visit all the Show places of'the island.
and Gen. Stone looks to the early crec-
tion of American horteis-A. thiropghou'i
the country, to be followed byrroad-
houses, and eventéguily'hbyfithe regula

“I understand that Mr. Rossnbaum’l

and had to be shot,” said the new re-
porter to Mr. Rosenbaum’s business
partner, according to the Boston Globe.
“Yes,” answered the partner dryly.
“And that his mother-in-laiw, who
was in the carriage at the time, was
thrown out and seriously injured.”
“Yes. She died an hour afterward.”
“What! Dead! Dear me! I suppose
Mr. Rosenbaum is all broke up about

WHAT SHALL WE DO
A serious and dangerous disease pre-
vails in. this country, dangerous be-
cause so deceptive. It comes on so
slowly yet surely that it is often firmly
seated before we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may
be divided into three distinct stages is,
First. Kidney trouble, indicated by
pain in the back. rheumatism, lumba-
go. frequent desire to urinate. often
with a burning sensation. the flow of
urine being copious or scant with
strong odor.
If allowed to advance. this reaches
the Second stage, or Bladder trouble,
with heavy pain in the abdomen low
down bet-ween the navel and the water
passage. increasing desire to urinate,
with scalding sensation in passing,
small quantities being passed with dif-
ficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it
with instruments. If uric acid orgravel
has formed, it will prove dangerous if
neglected.
The third stage is Bright’s Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that
Dr. Kilmer, the great kidney and blado
der specialist. has discovered a Remedy
famoUs for its marvelous cures of the
most distressing cases and known as
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Boot.
It is sold by all druggists.
As a proof of the wonderful virtues of
this great discovery, Swamp-Root, a
sample bottle and book of valuable in-
formation will be sent absolutely free
