Cooling- Water in Nicaragua.
(New Orelans Times-Democrat.)
"That reminds me," said a railroad
• man. who had been a listener, ! "of the
: primitive method .of cooling water :n
vogue in Mexico and Central America.
The principle is perfectly '-. simple, ■ but
there is a certain knack about the .thing
that 1 have never known a white man to
fully acquire.
"When a native in one of the boil
ing hot little villages of interior Nic
aragua wants to cool some water, she
fills a half-gallon earthenware jar about
two-thirds full. Parenthetically I say. 'she'
because this is a task that requires more,
energy ■: than any male Nicaraguan wa:3
I over kniiwn, to possess. The jar.is made
I of baked clay, and not -being glazed, is
j partially porous and soon becomes irioist
I on the outside. Two. leather straps are
! firmly attached to the neck; and seizing
these in her, hands, shy begins to: rotate
the. jar swiftly in the air. The mouth is
wide open but centrifugal action keeps.
the liquid from flying out! The; average
'native woman, is frail, arid listless in -ap
pearance but the endurance -which they
exhibit' at this sort of calisthenics-, is
■ marvellous. It is "about the same as
swinging Indian clubs, and 1 am afrai'l
to say how long I have seen them keep;jf
up, lest you iniylit set me down as a Prize

Xo Special Le R al .Snnee for Geese

CN". T. Herald. 7th.)
"Women, have a perfect right to bet
on the races." • .
j This reads like the prediction of an ut
i terance that may be made at some ul
j the woman's rights club in the year 1921
j but it is the solemn decision of a mag
j istrate in New York city.
I Magistrate Flammer, in Jefferson Mar
j ket Court yesterday morning, instead ot
j having a stale case of disorderly con
j duct lo try, was confronted" with a con
| undrum. It. was, "Why shouldn't women
be permitted to 'play the races,' or iii-
I dulge in other forms of betting and
gambling?
This question was propounded bs^ a
woman known to the thirty-three pat
rons, of her.pool-room, who: had been ar
rested with .her the day before as
"Grace R. Ryan, " the Pool-room Queen,"
and also known as the wife of Lieuten
ant Hugh Martin,' now undergoing- tr.al
by court-martial for irregularities in his
accounts at Fort Hancock, and finally as
Miss "Gussie . M. McKee."
ONE OF WOMAN'S RIGHTS
I .Magistrate Flammer answered the
conundrum as solemnly and as judici
ously: as- if it ' had "been some profound
question of law. He said:
"These women have a. perfect right
to, bet on the races.'- There is no law
which makes it an offence for them to
[be found in a pool-room! The woman
; who is charged with maintaining the
j pool-room or gambling resort may be
j guilty of violating the law, but these
j others are not. I discharge them all."
Although thirteen of the prisoners had
j spent the night in the police station, be-
I ing unable to find bail, the group *iade
j a brilliant "tableau, as most of the women
I had showy hats and fine gowns and' a
profusion of flowers.
I Mrs. Martin, or "Grace Ryan." which
' she" said was her name, for the day was
the bright, particular star. She was bril
"iantly attired, and her ears and flng-ers
'ashed with diamonds. She seemed to
njoythe intense notoriety of the .hour,
tnd _ showered sunny smiles upon the
.Magistrate, the -policemen, the officials
of the court, arid everybody who came
■vithin her orbit. Although she faced the
only serious charge, she. exhibited a gTeat
deal more coolness and audacity than any
of the others, who were merely. arrested
through the overze'al of the police.
THIRTEEN WERE UNLUCKY.
Of the nineteen women who. had been
fortunate enough to obtain bondsmen the
evening before and thus escape 'the dis
comforts of a night in the station-house,
it was observed that the majority were
young and blooming. The unlucky thir
teen, who had not found bondsmen, on
the other hand, were older women, whose
husbands and children did not come to
their assistance. This was due, some of
them said, to the fact that in. -order to
protect themselves they had given as
sumed names..
When Mrs. Martin was placed in front
of the Magistrate * she. said, in reply to
his question: that her name -was "Grace
Ryan," that she lived at No. 320 east 120 th
street, and was born in 1576. She was
1 held in $500 for the action of the' grand
jury.
When the other women were presented
to^.the Court, Mr. Friend asked that they
be" immediately discharged. "They are
respectable -.wives. arid mothers.'-' he said,
at which M-.igistrate Flammer smiled
faintly over the predicament in which
the prisoners were.
"Why did ( you arrest these women?" he
demanded of the police.
"Because they were in the pool-room,"
. was the reply.
j "Has not a person the right to bet on
'the races?" he asked of the policeman
| who had answered. :.;
j , . CLAIM OF THE POLICE. ' ■■'
■ '. The policeman did not. know, how to an
swer this question, but suggested that. the
presence of the women in the place where
Rambling was conducted constituted at
least disorderly conduct. : ;Ma£is crate
Flammer'- then made his decision, as
quoted above,- and ordered the entire let
of- prisoners, with the exception. of Mrs.
Martin, to be discharged. -.- -
i When asked about his ruling afterward
i Magistrate Flammer said:
!, "My decision- to discharge the thirty
three women arrested 5n the pool-room
kept by- Miss Ryan was based upon the
fact that there is no law making it:- a
crime for- women to bet on ra'cos:: Nor Vis
it. a; violation of any law that I. know of
for women to be seen: in 'a pool-room.
Lmler the oiroum stances. I coulddo^ no
thing but discharge them. T want to say
that I have not passed, upon the abstruse
question as: to .'.whether women have ' n
right to gamble. Luckily, that v,-as not
involved; and my decision" poes no f urth-r"
than the statement of- ih^-leg.-.i fact tti-it
.under our. present law it isVot an offence
.for a woman totgo to pool-rooms and 1 ci
ontho races."- ' "* . •-...: .

As stated the! total loss is estimated;
at $200,000. 'New machinery, .costing' about
$50,000,. was, recently installed,, and the
factory -was more" heavily stocked with
raw and manufactured- material than in
a- long period: ' - -" , .
The engines were at .work a.greater
portion of yesterday";. '-. trying to save
what little raw material that had" escap
ed -destruction; Engine Company -No. S
breached the r scene about 1:30 i o'clock
yesterday morning, and No. 2 -was seat
down at 6 o'clock. At 11 o'clock t.12 0r.,
gines.were recalled, but ." the vdeiv.rc
ment loaried the reserve; engine and hose
to be used in keeping the flames ' fror.v
spreading. The: fire "burned; until well
along in the afternoon.
Tbe'poles of the C'a 'Uspeakc " and 'Oliio
wires near the works were burned, a.ti/1
cbriiniunicatiori. was for.a time interfupt-'
ed, but workmen were . promptly put to
work arid; soon ; ;had the, lines up.
A stream' had to be kept playing 611 ' U-'
cross ties to prevent their igi.uin:?.' - " ;
There is good reason to believe the
work? will be "rebuilt. During"; the eleven
v?!>r? «ince i r v;->s brousltt here from
Greensboro.. N.. C, the ;factory has .made
handi-ome profits. .Crane & McMahon. of
New York.- have owned alKthe; stock since
