II Is dive for the worst type OF harlots
and cut.throats known even among me-
grocs.
A serious cutting atfray occurred there
abou, midnight last night the outgrowth
OF This characteristic wickcdness.
Patsy Darscy, notoriously dangerous
negro woman, presides over one Of the
scores OF apartments in the rookery. I'm
der the empty pretense of keeping board
era, she maintains corrupt relations with
three burly negro men, each OF whom
claims the distinction OF being her lawful
protector. Two OF these arc Ed. East and
Jim Ricksey. When two OF the trio are
absent the other is sure 10 be there, and
reigns. Naturally they sometimes meet,
and then there is danger lurking in every
word and movement.
last minnight Ed Fast was her CON-
panion.. The woman had excited his
jealousy. which lac attempted TO subdue
by Vicious kicks upon the wanton female.
Her outcry reached the ears OF Ricksey,
, who was on the street, and he responded.
As he entered tho den Fast advanced
upon him with knife. The ieopardiEed
man struck out from the shoulder, and for
his effort received vicious knife thrust in
| the side near the heart.
Patrolmen Randolph and flummer ar
rested the two combatants and the female
cause. Ricksoy's wound may prove fatal
although he endured Il bravoly. Il was
ministcrcd TO by DIR. Williamson.
In the name Of civilization and public
morals, break up that old den Of corrup
ton and place the inmates In tho work
house.

Hints For The Sick Room.

Disinfectants should be used accord
ing to the doctors orders, but it may be
we'll to state that putting saucers of
various chemicals around room will not
disinfect the atmosphere Whatever is
exposed TO infection, such as china, or
clothing, or bedding, should be
thoroughly cleansed and rinsed in some
dlsinfecting fluid. Tin or galvanized
iron pals and buckets should be used in
preference to wood. Such things as can
not be washed should be properly iumi-
gated before they can be considered safe.
Disinfectants cannot take the place of
cleanliness.
Ventilation is of great Importance, and
is very apt to be either neglected or i'm
properly done. There are many sources
of impurity in the atmosphere of the sick
room. The breath of both patient and
attendants, the odor of perspiration, any
uncleanliness of either person or room,
imperfect trapping of waste.pipes in the
house, dirty cellar sending its mia>ma
up through the registers along with
the necessary heat, and the foul
air produced bv burning gas
or lamps-all combine to poison the at
mosphere and retard the recovery of the
sick. The standard of purity is air suf-
ticient to remove any odor so that per-
son coming in from outdoors will not
be able to detect any unpleasant smell.
More fresh air is required for the sick
than for the well. In cases of infectious
diseases, even temperature may be sacri-
feed for pure air, but in innammatory
diseases, such as pneumonia, the even
ness of temperature is of greater import
tauce. Fever patients do not take cold
to the extent usually supposed, and thc,I
rooms should be well ventilated. All
should be introdu ed from outdoor;
with considerable caution. Never allow
a draught of cold or damp air to come
in contact with the patient. Windows
sho I'D be let down from the top; wire
gauze might be used when the wind i:
blowing, or tall screen could be placed
between the bed and the window. In
cases where the windows must be opened
wide to let out smoke the face and head
of the patient should be covered with q
light quilt until the normal temperature
OF. the room is restored. A good ther-
mometer should always be found in the
sick room, and the temperature regulated
by the physicians orders.
