AN ARCHITECTS VIEW.
Interview With MIR. ]. G. Frazier, Of
the East End.
HE GIVES HIS EXPERIENCE.

For many reasons It was notable inter-
view that the writer had with Mr.. John G.
Frazier, the architect. In the first place
Mr.. Frazier is we'll known in Pittsburg and
Allegheny. He was for many years resi-
dent of Allegheny, and is now and has been
for some time living at 571O Kirkwood
street, Pittsburg. Mr.. Frazier is the archi-
tect in charge of that mammoth building
enterprise of Messrs. Flynn, MCGEE and
Stewart, in erecting hundred brick houses
at the corner of Stanton and Naylor avenues.
So, as stated, he is well known at the East
End, where he now lives, as we'll as in AL
legheny, his former home. The interview is
notable in the second place for the remark
able experience it describes. Mr.. Frazier's
fast-failing health had convinced him and
his friends that he would have to give up
entirely the duties which engaged him.
You see," he explained, II was steadily
and constantly losing in flesh and strength.
In few months 1 had fallen away over 25
pounds. Ny appetite failed me, could

END OF A CONTROVERSY.
Contract Let for Parochial School Bald
ing in the First Ward,

Contract Let for Parochial School Bald
| ing in the First Ward.
The end of the famous First ward school
| fight has come after many months during
which the subject of Roman Catholic parochal
school occupation of public school property
furnished the grounds for bitter contest
waged between the citizens of the First ward
and the Romanist population led by Father
Morgan NJ Sheedy. The contract Calling for
the immediate erection of the new Catholic
parish school building at No. 2l6 Penn avenue
will be signed this morning by Father Sheedy
and well-known contractor. The building is
to be 5OxlOO, three stories and basement, with
steam-heating appointments, and the under
stood price is $4,000. On the third floor there
will be hall holding 500 persons, and the six
school rooms will accommodate $50 children.
All the appointments will be first class, and the
building must positively be ready for use by
the first of September.
Father Sheedy said yesterday when seen by
DISPATCH representative: "Yes, l suppose
this ends the sectarian war which at one time
bade fair to be an engrosslng topic for the
community at large L was unable to convince
the citizens who were fighting our occupancy
of part Of the First ward school, that our ar
rangement was singly and entirely temporary,
and chat we did not intend any permanent en-
croachment upon the rights of our fellow-citi-
zens Of other religious beliefs. We have kept
building at as early date as possible. And we
shall feel much obliged to anyone who desires
| to help US along in the erection of the build
ing, as a building of that class cannot fail to
aid in the great task of purifying the First
ward. For my part think the row is now
| ended"
An unsuccessful effort was made to see Mr..
Baldwin, attorney of the Citizens Committee
| which engaged him to take legal measures
| looking to the enforced vacation of the school
building by the Catholic school, From what
Mr.. Baldwin said several weeks since to re-
porter, it is to be presumed that there will be
no further legal proceedings in the case as the
cause of offerse is removed.
The occupation of the First ward school
property by sectarian school aroused great
amount of public feeling during last August
and September. Meetings we're held at which
bitter opposition to the action of the school
directors in allowing Father Sheedy to use part
of the building, was developed, Long kilograms
were sent to Governor Beaver and other State
officials and for time it looked as if a riot
might take place. THE DISPATCH published
exclusively an interview with Cardinal Glib
bons, in which His Eminence expressly depre-
Gated any attempt of the Romfsh Church to
encroach upon public property, and although
the matter has quieJed down it has not been
forgotten by any manner of means.

Publishing Names.

A word of remark may not be out of place
regarding the publishing OF the names
of patients treated and cured. While
such publication is made each week
in the daily papers, and the name and ad-
dress of the patient given, so that the state
ment can be easily verified and substanti-
ated by anyone, it should be said that all
such statements are entirely voluntary.
II should like to be treated" lady re-
marked the other day, "but would not
like to have my name in the paper" Let
it be stated that Drs. Copeland & Blair
never publish a name or statement without
the full and free consent of the petient, nor
do they publish one hundredth part of
the testimonials, letters and statements re-
ceived by them from grateful patients AS OBJ
served, the statements given are entirely volun-
tary, and are given by the patients for publica
ton. Drs. Copeland q Blair would never pub
lish the most emphatic testimonial unless the
patient giving it understood that it was 70 be

When person with O. delicate constitu-
tion has tendency to catarrh or consump-
tion-whether this tendency is inherited or
results from taking cold easily-it is notice
able that that person invariably loses flesh
and loses strength, showing that the nuui-
tion is interfered' With. In such case the
sufferer should at once be placed under in
fuences that will restore the defective
nutrition and tend to invigorate the consti-
tuition. 1t is to be remembered that in every
case the presence of catarrh is an evidence of
predisposition to consumption, and no matter
how slight the attack may be, it should be
treated with the greatest care and the treat
ment should be continued until all traces of the
catarrh have disappeared. If the catarrh is
allowed to reach the smallest tubes in the
lungs-which condition is indicated by the
splitting up of yellow material-then i'm
mediate attention to the malady is demanded
or serious lung trouble will result.
