MORMONS IN MEXICO.
Prosperous settlements where
polygamy is practised 'with
out molestation.
The Mormons fire settling In Northern Mexico,
fend are growing prosperous In the colonies which
fthfy have planted. There are now nearly five
(thousand of them in Northeastern Sonora and
: crn Chihuahua. There Is a steady stream
wf emigration from Utah, and the colonies are rap
■ dly Increasing in the number of their population.
"The Mormons are coming into the republic as rap
idly .is farming lands can be secured for them to
(Kettle upon. They are an agricultural people, and
■kccupy only tho valleys where Irrigation is possible.
tt-«r^e ranch owners have been averse heretofore to
belling them big tracts of Irrigable land, but the
Mormons are now rapidly securing the favored
places In which to plant their colonies and build
their homes.
The enactment of laws in the United States
against polygamy brought the first Mormon Immi
gration to Mexico. When plural marriage was pro-
Siounccd illegal there were many Mormons who pre
ferred to leave Utah rather than surrender any of
Their religious principles or relinquish any of their
Skives. Mexico appeared to them an inviting coun
try In which to settle, provided they could secure
*the assurances they needed from the Mexican Gov
ernment. The Climate of Chihuahua and Sonora
/being similar to that oi Utah, only milder, and the
[topography being the me. It only remained for
rtho«.- who proposed to emigrate- to secure In ad
fvanc<? the necessary concessions from the authori
hle? of the country into which they were about to
ijnove.
The proposal of the Mormons to settle in Northern
3klexioo met with instant encouragement, since they
tvere known to be industrious and thrifty and well
adapted to the work of developing a new country.
Mexico wished to encourage them particularly be
cause they were agriculturists. Mining companies
find ranchmen especially welcomed them because
they would readily supply the camps and cattle
haciendas with provision! and farm products, for
merly imported at considerable cost. Mexico n
eouraged the movement of the Mormons by ad
•nittfns all their household effects, building ma
terial and objects of use In the erection of their
ijomep free of customs duties. They received
■other concessions and privileges.
THE WILDERNESS TRANSFORMED.
T!?*» country into which they removed was prac
tically a wilderness. Here and there were large
9-anrhrs. with now and then a mining camp. There
*srer<? » few Mexican villages, at intervals of fifty
por a hundred miles The country was arid, tree-
Jess and uninviting, except in the valleys, where a
Hch soil only needed irrigation and cultivation to
ret»:ri; ample crops of fruits and cereals.
The first colony was planted In ISS9. and called
fcvj'jnnia Juarez. It was established in the valley
pf the Casas Grandcs River, sixteen miles from the
\fohi Mexican town of Casas Grandes, the pres
ient terminus of the Rio Grande, Sierra Madre
Jend Pacific Railroad, constructed In 1597. The
leetHers arrived from Utah in covered wagons.
?They lived In tents until they dug lrriga^
kion ditches and made their first crop. Then
{They began to erect their homes. Besides
Iheir teams and camping utensils and a few agri
icu'it-jral implements, they had nothing but muscle
end religious enthusiasm. At that time the near
est railroad was at El Paso, Tex., while a sandy
desert, almost Impassable, intervened. The moun
tains, too, held roving bands of renegade Apaches
that occasionally raided the new settlement and
drove away cattle and horses. However, they were
fcappy to find themselves unhampered by any legis
lative enactment against polygamy.
As to the practice of polygamy In the Republic
fit Mexico, it may be stated that the law of the
2an<] recognizes but one legal wife. The second or
fehlrd wife has no legal status. and her children, in
ihe eyes of the law, are not legitimate. After the
first marriage the law has nothing to do with the
matter of a Mormon's Increasing the number of his
.•wives, except that a second or third wife may not
"be taken unless the first "wife gives her consent.
33ut the Mormons ara guided by their religion, not
fay the law, in the Institution of marriage. A Mor
knon in Mexico never or seldon takes a sec
ond or third wife until he is able to support more
than one family. It is part of their religion for the
Slret wife to assist her husband in finding an addi
tional helpmate: end If she is unwilling for him to
marry another woman, as (sometimes happens when
{human nature is stronger than religion or super
stition, a deputation of elders call upon her. and
enow her the "path of duty." The Mormons do
rot generally admit the practice of polygamy in
Mexico, for the reason, It la believed, that an agita
tion might be started against It: but It Is true,
nevertheless, that with few exceptions each Mor
anor. has two or more wives.
DOMESTIC PEACE PRESERVED.
The Mormon with more than one wife usually
provides a. separate home for each family. If the
two or more families do not mingle together har
moniously they are placed in different colonies, and
Kill Jar and friction except that which the head of
the families might encounter Is removed. When
llhere Is no disagreement among the -wives and
•children they mingle freely together, assist one
■mother in making the gardens, churning butter or
canning fruit. Then the children by one wife call
•he other wife "aunt," and the two wives address
tone another as "sister," and the husband as "hus
band." All Mormon men call one another "brother."
Beside* engaging in agriculture, many of the
{Mormons are freighters for various mining com
panies. They use their teams to haul ores from the
pnines to the railroad. The ore of the Pllarec Mine,
&he richest silver shaft in Northern Mexico, Is
Iheuled 120 miles by Mormon teamsters. They have
■sawmills in the Sierra Madre Mountains sixty miles
|from Colonla Juarez, and bring out the lumber to
.{Lhe various colonies and to the mining camps In
wagons. They also haul the products of their
farms to the mines. The regular Mormon freighter
usually establishes a family in different colonies, so
that he is nearly always at home.
The women work hard, especially In the vegeta
ble gardens and in the care of the cows. They
Snake butter and cheese and gather the fruit crops,
fine out of ten of the Mormon men are Indus
.trious. They work with energy and enthusiasm.
But sometimes a shiftless one appears, who is
'willing to live by the labor of his women. Re
«ently a Mormon arrived in one of the colonies'
"with two young wives. They were strong and
NrllUng to work. Instead of doing anything him
'«>«rf he eat from one day's end to another and
•watched the two labor with hoe or mattock.
"Finally he became tired of the colony and ex-
Jpressed a wish to return to Utah, whereupon the
Two wives poJd their products and shipped him
few;-. y They remained, however, to look after the
crops on their little farm.
ACTIVK PROSELYTING.
Mormon converts are gained Invariably from
fimong the most humble classes of the population.
fTwo thousand missionaries are at work all the
lime In the United States and Canada, and In Rng
3and and Europe, adding to the Mormon fold. In
Justice to the Mormons it must be stated that the
•convi-rts thc-y make usually are bettered in every
.respect. Thrift is a cardinal principle in the Mor-
Tnon ere< j d, and it in exemplified nowhere better
than in tho coloMec of Northern Mexico. Com
fortable homes. ultlvated fields and abundant
crops show that the Mormons on the whole are
Industrious, frugal and economical. They aro
obliged to maintain a community of interest. They
labor togethf-r and asplst one another In every
thing that is to be done.
At present '..• i are eight colonies of Mormons
-In Mexico, with a combined population of nearly
iivc thousand. They are Colonia Juarez, the cap
ital colony; Colonia Diaz, Dublan, Oaxaca, Pa
chfcco, Garcia, Chuicbupa and the recently estab-
Jished colony of Morelos. Colonla Juarez is sltu
ctfd In a narrow valley, and the land is Irrigated
■with water from the Casaa Grandes River. The
neat brick residences of tha settlers are hidden in
grapevines and thick clusters of pear, plum
• peach and apricot trees. The water runs in a
clear strram through all the cross streets, and 1«
turned into yard or garden at will. Here the
president of the take," which embraces all of th"
colonies, rr-sf.jes. He lives in a handsome brick
residence that coct tIO.OOO. He guides the destinie*
of the Mormons in Mexico with the head and hand
of a capable captain. He is a man of education
end of unusual intelligence, and was at one time a
candidate for Governor of Utah. He 1m the first
end last court of resort for all internal troubles
cn<3 disputes.
EDUCATION NOT NEGLECTED.
The Mormons build schools In their communities
•veil before they erect a church. All of the colo
j-Jm have schools, and an academy i 6i 6 maintained
at Colonia Juarez. There are a principal, five
teachers, and more than four hundred pupils In
Bhi» colony there is a grt.st mill, a canning; Vac
tory and other industries. There la a tithing store
the orjy one in the colony, but there la not a
c-aloon, nor a tobacco shop, nor a policeman In this
'or any her of the colonies.
DubUn lfi the largest colony, It In also the most
important commercially. )t is four miles from the
terminus of the railroad, and Is situated In a
*)rcad valley. The village, which has about one
.thousand Inhabitant ia scattered over several
jequaxe niii<-.-- of territory. The Mormons of Dublan
{have thousands of acres of rich land, which
rprodveeti abundant crop?. They have beautiful
'•orchards and gardens. They have laid the founda
tions of a Epk-ndid temple and a large school build
flng. They hs^-e a tithing- store here as in t'olonla
JJuarez, and each Mormon contributes 10 per cent
|a>£ his income to the support of the Church. Ha
gives labor, lumber, fruit, meat, milk or money,
depositing 10 per cent of whatever h© may have
at the tithing store. In addition to this taxation
the Mormons of Dublan have a aalf -Imposed In
come, tax of 8 per cent, which is to be used to
build and equip their academy.
Oaxacn is 105 -miles from the railroad, but It Is
reached by an excellent road which the Mormons
built. They were not contented with the mere trail
the Mexicans used for two hundred years, and in
stead graded a roadway upon which a bicycle
might be easily ridden the entire distance. Oaxaca
la on the Bavispe River, and white this colony has
plenty of water for irrigation purposes, there Is no
Irrigable land. The people are poor and do not
appear as Industrious or as successful as the Mor
mons In the other colonies. Their houses are with
out glass in the windows, and they have no car
pet*, and many of them nothing more than dirt
Boors. The traveller going through Oaxaca. will
find It Impossible to purchase butter, eggs, pota
toes or other provisions. The people appear to live
principally on broad and honey.
A PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK.
The new colony of Morelos, to the west of Oaxa
ca, promises to be tho largest colony In Mexico.
Thirteen families are there now living In tents and
working hard to prepare their Irrigation ditches
and clearing the land of the mesqutts bush. This
colony has five, thousand acres of rich soil upon
•which it can produce several crops annually. Fifty
more families will soon arrive. All or nearly all
the men have more than one woman In their tents.
Whether they were wives in Utah or not it would
be Impossible to say. In Mexico, where conceal
ment was no longer necessary, each woman was
doing her allotted share of the work about their
temporary habitations.
"We have fine agricultural and grazing lands
here," said a Mormon, "and we are just a hun
dred and twenty-live miles from the railroad, with
a fair prospect of a road building by here in a few
years. When Utah was settled our people were a
thousand miles from a base of supplies, and they
had Indiana to right. Don't you think we can do
as much in Northern Mexico as we did in Utah?"
Since the first Mormons settled In Mexico twelve
years ago they have never had the slightest frle
tlcn with the Mexican people or the Mexican au
thorities. No Mexicans live in their communities,
and since they are governed by the Church, or
rather by the president of the "stake" and his
elders and bishops, they have* no intercourse with
the Mexicans.
-The Mormon colonies are socialistic communities.
Everything is done on a system of co-operation.
They use little money In their dealings with one
another. Obligations are paid in labor or the prod
ucts of labor. If one Mormon builds a house his
neighbors assist and charge their labor against
him. The obligation is settled In kind. They have
differences and friction sometimes, but the elders
and the bishops Fettle the trouble, or, If they do
not, then the president does.
WELDING THE RAILS.
SAND BLAST NO. 7 AND ITS MIGHTT TASK
IN TWENTY-THIRD-ST.
Many late passengers on the streetcars have
had their curiosity aroused by a ■wagontmarkeci
"Sand Blast No. 7," which has been working all
the way down Lexingrton-ave. from One-hun
dred-an<J-fourth-st., and last wet»k was on
Twenty-third-at The sand blast Is part of the
equipment of the Fa Ik Company, of Milwaukee,
who are welding: the rails of the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company, fo as to make a prac
tically continuous track of their line.
Every night when the traffic gets light and the
cars run on a lonper headway, the Falk Com
pany's men start to work, continuing until 5
o'clock. They excavate for about eighteen inches
each way at the Joints of tho rails, and about
four inches beneath the rails, and take off the
fishplates. Then the sand blast comes along to
clean off the rust.
The sand blast consists of a gasolene engine
on a heavy bodied wagon, drawn by two horses.
The engine compress s air in a horizontal drum,
and a wlrebound hose leads from the drum to
the upright tank containing dry river sand.
From the sand tank there is led another hope
about twenty feet long, terminating in a nozzle
with a half-inch opening. The sand Is forced
out of this nozzle at a pressure of one hundred
and fifty to two hundred pounds, and cuts the
rust away sharply and cleanly. The nozzle is
guided by a man who looks not unlike a diver
in his heavy moleskin overalls and stiff round
hat, with the leather apron attached to the brim
and hanging down over his face and neck like a
diver's helmet.
The sand blast travels slowly along the street,
stopping Just beyond ea'-h Joint of the rails, and
the rust is cut away by the light of torches.
While going from one Joint to the next the
blast is not cut off, but the man pushes his
helmet back for a breath of air and points the
nozzle up and the sand descends in a fine, sharp
shower on the bystanders. One of the negroes
working- about the blast told a spectator who
had drawn him into conversation that while
working in Washington they were in front of
the Chinese Legation one night. "An' one o' dem
Chinamuns fum de "implication" cum mighty
nigh gittin' h!s eye put out by de san 'count o'
gittin' too curous."
At 1 (''clock the cupola comes out. and the
street takes on t ance of a big open air
foundry. A v i'.ic of men k'>ps up the street
ahead of th ron moulds about
the joints of th< rails, and the c-upola, drawn by
three big (frays, trav< is slowly behind, filling- the
moulds with molten Iron.
Tho cupola, Is swung in the centre of an iron
framework, and a platform at the back carries
a donkey engine, which run? th^ blower. An
other platform in front la piled up with pig iron.
which the cupola tender throws in at the top
from tini' \'< time. The cupola holds two tons
"f h'.-ii, and is filled tV-ur times each night.
The two-handled ladles, with three men to
each ladle, two In front and one behind, are
k< j't busy pouring th Iron into the moulds.
The acene la animated, weird and fascinating;.
Three n< rroea come swinging felong the street
with a ladle and slide it under the cupola spout,
with "Turn 'er loose, man:" The cupola tender
knocks out the tamp and the liquid iron pours
out into the lav!'*, lighting up the sh'.ny, black
of the negroes and the eagerly curious
faces of the bystanders. Sparks fly, and the
watchers 'luck and dodge, while the callous
workmen merely close their eyes, if they do
that. The old one-armed engineer fusses with
his eiij-ri-'i*'. som< one up the street shouts
"Hurry up with that iron!" the tender chokes
ih" stream wi t Ii a Hay tamp, and the negroes
pick up the ladle with its 150 pounds of slopping
liquid iron and swing up the street with It.
•Witch dem hosses!" "What make you lif you
laig? Mvs 1 a. stepped on sumpin 1 hot."
Toward Sixth-aye. an- little groups of men
working by the light of smoky torches, their
era ringing on the rails as they straighten
Into line where they have been bent In
taking off the fishplates, or driving In wedges
to fill up the joints; nearer the sweating ladlers
are pouring iron Into the moulds; toward i-. x -
Ington-ave. are the open holes where the moulds
have been Oiled, and after the iron has set, have
been taken away, leaving a 15-inch Iron jackc-t,
open at the top, around the rail joints. There
is ;t long line "f holes, and around each stands
a knot of curious spectators. Smoke from the
hoi^s, lighted by the red glow of the hot iron.
curls around their peering faces and pointing
bands. N; ar by is the cupola, with th>- llames
leaping from the top and a man on the plat
form pitching iron into the furnace. His head

shadow something black v<«-* Into the dames,

SUMMER SAFEGUARDS.
THE PERIL.B AND DISCOMFORTS OF
THE TORRID SEASON MAY
HE MINIMIZED.
BE) SURE OF THE WATER YOU DRINK—ATTEN
TION! HAY FEVER SUFFERERS—
ERS, EXTERMINATE DISEASE SPREAD
ING VERMIN— now to RELIEVE
THROAT TROUBLES.
The series which this article begins Is designed to
point out to Tribune readers the pregnant causes of
the diseases and physical discomforts Incidental to
the heated term, and to suggest approved prevent
ives and remedies. The discomforts, In that they
do positive hurt to the nervous system, are almost
as much to he- dreaded as real Illness. Hippocrates
said that what were required for the dwelling
places of men "were pure air, pure soil and pure
water." If the environment, or construction, of
your dwelling- presents obstacles to these health
laden breezes from the sea, Yankee Ingenuity has
supplied countless devices to aid their entrance and
circulation.
With the purity of the noil you have intrusted the
Board of Health; for the cleanliness of your domi
ciles you are responsible to your fellows as well as
to yourselves. And what constitutes this "cleanli
ness"? Sweeping 1 , scouring', dusting? No, not alto
gether, though "broom and besom" are. valuable
auxiliaries. Disinfect your premises, annihilate the
germs that lurk in your drains and waste pipes, and
exterminate the vermin that pcurry about, con
taminating food and so spreading disease.
And pure water! What great city can boast It?
New-York has perhaps the bent claim, but the re
sources of science have, since men first congre
gated In cities, been exhausted in tho effort to meet
this need. Under a fervid summer sun disease
germs will breed In stagnated reservoirs, and so
tls wise to filter aJI drinking 1 water.
It Is not only by way of the organs of taste and
smell, however, that one introduces disease In his
system or retains It there. Unless the skin can per
form Its normal functions of throwing off, through
its myriad pores, the foul humors of the body, and
of ventilating it, it 6imply absorbs disease. Too
much care cannot be exercised, though. In the
ir.edla that are used in cleansing the skin, for too
often the remedy Is worse than the disease; but
there are soaps which do not clog or otherwise In
jure tha pores.
But It Is quite as necessary to ventilate the body
as to keep It clean, and so the garment that clothes
it should not lack the quality of permitting oxygen
to reach the person.
The alternative la tho drinking of mineral waters,
some of which are excellent table watern, besides
having undisputed virtues as remedial agents.
WATER AS A HEALTH GUARD.
Physicians agree that mineral waters are pos
sessed of great therapeutic value. A natural mineral
water— one which comes from a never-ending stream
from the bosom of the carth — Is conceded to be a
boon to those afflicted with kidney troubles, gout,
rheumatism, dyspepsia and kindred evils. In Rock
ir.gham County, Va., a mineral spring, discovered
175 years ago. gives a pure, colorless, odorless,
tasteless water, which is proclaimed everywhere
as a cure for these and all troubles arising from
an excess of uric acid.
It was not reserved for the savants of to-day to an
nounce the superior medicinal values of this water.
These were known to the early settlers, and the tale
of their virtues embodied in a report of one of the
Colonial Governors so impressed King George II
that he proclaimed that the spring should be for
ever free to the residents of that section of Vir
ginia. To this day that Royal Proclamation is in
force— by courtesy, not by law — as a conse
quence tho diseases caused by Impure water, lima
deposits, etc., are unknown in Its neighborhood.
This spring, which is called the Bear Llthia Spring,
Is not only a perpetual fountain of health— it
is perpetual, for it has Dame Nature's vast chemi
cal laboratory to draw from, and since 1723 has had
a flow of three million gallons dally— is a thing
of beauty in itself. It is a sheet of water one
hundred feet long, sixty feet wide and three fer-t
deep and is clear as crystal, bubbling up from
the ground over its entire surface.
Water la a natural cure for many 111?, but to bo
a cure it must combine with Its oxygen and hydro
gen the mineral salts of the earth. The countless
thousands of sufferers from kidney and uric
troubles may lay it to the water they have drunk.
There is no reason now why any one should
be without an absolutely pure and healthful drink
ing water. A number of years ago a party of
men who knew the needs and workings of the hu
man system went to Rockingham County, Va.,
and tried the water of the bear Littila ".Spring.
not only to observe its effect upon themselves, but
also to compare the physical condition of the people
who made this water their constant beverage
with that of those who drank water from any and
every source. The result of their observations was
that T<onr L'thla Water soon became known to the
entire world, not as a "cure all," but as an un
failing remedy for the certain Ills before mentioned,
and, also, for maintaining health.
In coldest winter or in hottest summer this health
rind life giving spring Is at a uniform temperature
of 52 degrees Fahrenheit— which fact alone shows
the great depth from which it ronies— and It is
bottled and remains unchanged for use medicinally
or as a delicious table beverage.
The Bear Llthia Spring Company, which has
offices at 62 New street. N. V.. is not only the owner
of a spring which has medicinal qualities of the
highest order, but it is also the proprietor of a bot
tling method which serves to retain the original
purity of the. water for years. This quality larks
importance, for although the daily Row of the
Bear Lithla Spring la three million gallons, the de
mand for It is great enough to absorb this supply.
These complete and wonderful bottling works are
sltn:i*F-d within a stone's throw of the Bear Lithia
Spring, and the water that flowed yesterday in the
mirrorlike spring Is served on the dining tables of
New-York to-day, acting as Nature's agent in
remedying the damage that unknowing or careless
mankind does to its own constitution.
.4 FOE TO HAY FEVER.
It Is In the brighi. summer months that the suf
ferer from hay fever— and in New- York hi? name
Is legion— hastens to the seashore or the moun
tains, under the fatuous belief that he will thus
escape from the fiend that causes him such untoi.l
misery; but hay fever, like Btadbad'a Old Man of th<
Sea, cannot be shaken off thu.-. Once It ha*
perched itself upon Its victim and it stays there
until it Is fought off by scientific warriors trained
to do battle with this particular demon.
For years a euro for hay fever, or June cold or
nervous catarrh, as It Is sometimes called, ha
been practically unobtainable, and many physi
cians and sufferers have claimed that It was prac
tically an incurable malady. But It seems now
that a cure, swift and sure, has been found and ;?
doing Its beneficent work on thousands of sufferers
In New-York City alone.
Hay fever comes necessarily from two causes:
FirHt. an external, exciting cause, such as pollen.
dual or other irritant, deposited upon the delicate
membranes of the upper air passage; second, a pre
disposition to become Influenced by this Irrlt >nt or
exciting canst', whatever it may be. A company in
corporated under the title of the Km hymen Chemi
cal Company has magnificently appointed offices
at No. Mv Flfth-ave., where hay t< ver. In all its
phases, is treated exclusively, and, from relia
ble accounts, effectively. The treatment of the
Buthymen Company doea nut Include opiates or
other deleterious drugs, and, furthermore, it Is not
in any sense a set treatment. Individual study
is accorded to each case, and special considera
tion Is given to its particular demands and needs.
No two constitutions are exactly alik.-. and for
that reason there is no universal panacea, but
where capes are taken Individually, according to
the experts of the Euthymen C oany, a cure
can he effected, and the claims of positive cure ale
based upon this feature of special study, com
bined with the use of medicinal agenta which thor
oughly cleanse, s'eiillz- 1 and m othe the entire nasal
tract "thus doing away with the exciting cause
one of the features that commend the Buthymen
treatment la the fact thut a cure is assured, even
if the patient cannot personally visit the treatment
rooms if he will faithfully follow the course
mapped out for him. and. furthermore, the Euthy
men method is a guarant l preventive.
In these days, while hay fever runs riot In all
parts of the country, a guaranteed cure cornea al
most :;s a heaven sent boon to the thousands of
Hiinvrers, and as about So per cent of the patients
of the Buthymen system last year proclaimed them
selves aa cured, it la safe to suppose that there
will be ii marked falling off in the hay fever pa
tt'-ntF during this lust summer of the century. The
Buthymen treatment is h>>th local and constitution
al and the secret of Its success i* that it first
gives almost Immediate relief and then remove.-, the
cause of the disease, thus preventing forever v
recurrence of it.
GRACE, EASE AND COMFORT IN SUMMER.
Now, while the Dog Star rages and we are In
the midst of the heated term, it behooves us, es
pecially the ladles, to seek all the comfort they
can by wearing suitable clothing. The Heath ab
dominal corset especially commends Itself at this
season. Not only beautiful In form, it is so thor
oughly cool and comfortable, being made from
porous linen, there is nothing that equals It. cither
imported or domestic. They are also made from
Porous Wool for those, who perspire more
finely. It is unbreakable and flexible, yielding
freely to every motion of the body, vet retain
ing ahapeilnesa of figure, while reducing the
waist and abdomen two Inches without discom
fort. At the office, 114 Klfth-ave.. also can be seen
their abdominal belts for gentlemen. Like the cor
stt_. they are made of porous linen, thoroughly
comfortable. The use of one of these belts for one
month will reduce the waist band two to three
Inches and by proper support of the abdomen pre
vent the formation of superfluous tissue. Dress
Shields for hot weather, also of porous linen,

SENATOR WELLINGTON'S POSITION.
MARYLAND REPUBLICANS HAVE PRACTICALLY
READ HIM OUT OF THE PARTY.
Baltimore, June 30 (Special).— United States Sen
ator Georg'? L. Wellington has practically been read
out of his party In Maryland for the stnnd he has
takeu against Republican principles and the Mc-
Klnley Administration. So far as the official lead
ers of the party organization in this State are con
cerned, he will neither be consulted in regard to
nor asked to take any part In the campaign for
McKlnley and Roosevelt. Said a prominent city
leader to-day:
His opposition to the present Administration's
policy is so pronounced that I should not be sur
prised to see him during the campaign an avowed
champion of Mr. Bryan's election. If he should
come out for Bryan he will not, as some have
stated, join forces with the Democrats, but will
simply do all he can to nullify the efforts of Sen
ator McComaa, his colleague, to carry the Vlth
District and the State for McKlnley and Roose
velt. It Is understood, however, that a strong
effort is to be made through the Vice-Presidential
nominee to induce Wellington to stand aloof and
take no part whatever In the campaign.
The Republican State headquarters were opened
in this city yesterday. The nomination of Governor
Roosevelt has greatly strengthened the ticket In
Maryland. Chairman Goidsborough of the State
Committee says his views are substantiated by
many independent Democrats, that the large
majority of the men of Maryland will support the
Republican ticket, as they did tour years ago.
FORTY-FIVE YEARS A POLICEMAN.
Captain Theron S. Copeland. of the Third Pre
cinct police station, in the City Hall, celebrated

by Mayor Fernando Wood, Recorder James Smith
and City Judge Sidney Stewart, who then consti
tuted the Board of Police Commissioners. He was
twice appointed a captain, the last time in August.
!■>;;: The men attached to the station yesterday
presented to the captain a large floral horseshoe.
A WOMAN MANIPULATES THE MOTOR.
Montclair, N. J., June 30 (Special).— With Miss
Rebecca Draper in charge of the motor, the North
Jersey Street Railway Company favorably opened
the South End trolley line to-day by sending a
special car over the road, which runs from Bloom
fleld-ave through Elm-st. to the Orange Road, and
thence to the city of Orange. On the car were a
number of county and town officials. Miss Draper
was given the honor of running the first car on
account of her successful efforts to obtain the

TO INTEREST CAPITAL IN PORTO RICO.
An effort Is beniK made by the Agricultural Union
of Porto Rico i" intereat American capital In the
agricultural Interesta of the Island. Lucai Abu
deo, of Cacao*, preaMeal of the union, is now In
N.w- for* endeavoring to enlist the aid of capi-
UillsMH here. He Is at No KB West Fourteenth-st.
In talking about th« situation lv Porto Rico yes
terday he s.ild
The latest news I have from prominent persons
in the island is that the condition of the people la
worse than six months ago. People are every
where crying from hunger. In the districts of
[Jtuado, Adjuntaa, Barroa and Clales many of the
native-) are living upon the roots of the plantain
or banana, because the storms left scarcely any
fruit. I give credit to this information, as I have
it from trustworthy sources, and It has been con
firmed by Mr. Saiazar, cashier of the bank 'it
Ponce, who arrived last week. The effects of the
■torma have not been remedied, because the send
ing of relief supplies Is not the way to mend mat
ters. The leading people desire a Government
loan, believing such a loan to be the best way to
carry the Island over the crisis. The commission
ers, sent to Washington by the Island asked the
Government for a loan, but the Government felt
that the situation would be met by the lawn pro
claimed, and that American capital would then
become Interested. Bui capital ha* not been at
tracted In sufficient quantities to be of any use.
Just yesterday i hud a conversation with one of
the principal bankers In Wall Street. He told ma
that while the luwa In Porto Rico remained In
their present truleilnlte stale American capital
would not go there.
