THE SANITARY FORCES.

The whitewaSh brigade has not been EN-
ployed the past week, as it was useless to
continue the sprinkling of lime in the
streets or to whitewash unsauitary out
buildings and fences. for the dashing rains
ould have neutralized the work. The use
of lime for wet places win be renewed when
clear weather cts in. All of the extra
gangs have been suspended for the present,
but there are about twelve wagons, employ
ing about twenty extra men, who are hired
by the day, payable only when employed.
Tuey disinfect the vaults with bi-chloride
of mercury, a powerful disiafectant which
is destructive to oil germ life.
The effect, of this disinfectant is said to be
very tiue, and fully justlfles all that its
friends claim for it as sanitary auxiliary
The city continues to furnish applicants at
toe exchange with Platt's chloride, carbolic
acid and copperas for the disinfection OF
vaults, water closets and premise
City Marshal Wade is uperintendng the
gangs that have been cleaning mp and dsm-
fecting unsanitary places, and he Is doing
his work well, and keeping IA sharp lookout
To see that the city is properly cleaned. As
a rule, the city was found in a coanly-con-
dition when the extra sanitation began on
Aug. 9.
THE ANNUAL INSPECTION.
Every year, beginning at April /, two
gangs are sent out to disinfect every part
Of the city. This is dono at least twice
every ton hours. The work, which includes
the deodorizing and removal OF night soil
from the vaults, il under charge of W. j.
Cleary, superintendent of the vault clean
ing department From fifteen 10 twenty
barrels of disintec ant have been dumped
into the Bilbo canal weekly, but this work
has been suspended for the past week, owing
to the rains, which have flushed and thor
oughly cleaned the sewers aud carried off
all the offensive debris and sewage of the
city into the river With the return II dry
weather there will be a renewal of the use
of copperas in the canal
During the period of extra sanitation and

PURE GOODS FOR CULINARY
PURPOSES.

--~---~------~--~---~~-s -
We desire especially to speak this
week of spices and other articles for
culinary uses. You sometimes won
der why it is that your grocer offers
you ground Pepper, or Mustard, or
ginger, so much cheaper than you
are in the habit of buying 1t. The
answer is easy. Only short time
ago, large spice-miller admitted
that he ground up Cocoanut shells,
and mixed them with ground Pep
per in the proportion OF 40 per cent.
Cocoanut shell. This stuff is labelled
and handed over the counter to you
as pure Pepper. There is spice
man in Philadelphia who at this time
has in his cellar, over four tons, g.
900 lbs of old beans and peas, old
stock, useless for planting, which he
bought cheap. These will find their
way to thousands Of tables disguised
as Pepper, Mustard, Gloves, and a
dozen other spices. Is it any won

Ex-Secretary Lamar will possibly
regret resigning his position in Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet insomuch as the
Judiciary Committee Of the Senate
has reported adversely on his con-

know the reason assigned, but it is
surmised that his age and his alb
sence from the bar and active prac-
tice are the strongest urged.
