PAUPER SUFFERING.
What Judge WuPzbach Daily
Sees Starving People.

County Judge wurzbach is overrun
with paupers to-day, and says he does
not know what to do with all OF them.
as the poor house Is full now, and the
city can do nothing. Many are sick,
and many are able to work. but have no
work to do, and are actually starving
for something to eat. Men and women
with starving children are continually
coming in on him, and touch the stout
est heart to pity. Two cases particu-
larry have come up In the last day. One
was q poor woman, a widow, with n
swarm of small children olinging about
her skirts, who was found In the rain on
the corner OF Houston and st. Mary's
street last night, by n young gentleman
and cared for until to-day, when she
was brought to Judge wurzbach's
attention. She said n board
ing house keeper on that street had
turned her out because she could
not pay any more money. She Is will
ing TO do any kind of work she can get
that will provide food for herself and
children. The other case Is that OF an
old blind man. 81 years of age, who was
found on the streets where he had been
put for refusal and inability to pay for
his board and lodging. : He was taken
to the police station and given place
to lay down and sleep last night.
Judge Wurzbach says there is n great
deal of suffering among the poor people,
and something should be done by our
charitable people.

About Oil.

Ed or san AntOniD Iipht:
Quite lively controversy is now go
ing on in the several daily papers in
reference to certain brands of coal oil.
but all are. written by interested parties,
and appear as advertisements for their
respective brands, one claiming his oil
equal to any, and the other claiming his
brand superior to any, which is natural
to any dealer in any line of goods-each
claiming his goods the best. Now, we
would respectfully request you to en-
tighten the consumer of oil in regard to
the quality OF the same, or request some
expert who is willing and disinterested,
to describe the qualities of oil and how
they can be detected, to prevent the I'M
scrupulous dealer from imposing on
