The yellow fever cases in Florida
give serious alarm to the medica au-
thorities. The cases already report
ed are the outcome of the care
lessness or cupidity of last
summer. 1t will be remembered that
the United States government sup
piled funds for while, and that the
infected clothing, camp equip
page furniture ETC., was burn
ed. When these goods were no
longer paid for by the public
sanitary authorities they were no
longer destroyed, and the result is
that infection breeds the disease
again on the approach of warm
weather. The fever making its APP
pearance so early as April warns
every city south of st. Louis to make
the most complete preparations
against this scourge. San Antonio
hears, let her heed the warning.

The superintendent of the State In
stitute for the Blind has issued a cir
cular, calling attention to the school,
for the benefit of those who do not
know that there is free instruction in
Texas for blind children, and asks the
LIGHT to spread the information. The
circular, which is very brief, is as fol-
lows:
AT Austin there is large fres school for
the blind children of Texas. where they can
besides, if tLey have talent for it, can study
all branches OF music. They may also learn
how to make brOOms, mattresses and pillows,
and TO bottom chairs with cane or rattan.
G. rls can learn to sew by hand or machine
and do crochet and bead work The buildings
sre large, rOomy and well furnished No
charge will be made for board. tuition, wash
everything free. Clothing and railroad fare
will be furnished for those who are unable TO
furnish money for those iteols Please adj
dress, DIR. FRANK RAINEY.
This is a good opportunity for those
who are blind to acquaint themselves
with the ordinary school studies, and
learn some trade that will afford them
a livelihood, and do this at the eX-
pense of the state. If there are such
in this region let their friends take
notice of this circular.

THE Galveston Tribune is growing
encouraged over the enterprise of the
city and remarks:
A party of experienced lumbermen
will be sent out to investigate the sup
DIV of lumber along streams tributary
to Galveston bay. This means that
the saw mill project has not fallen
into inocuous desuetude.
If Galveston goes into rafting busi-
ness she will no doubt find water
enough for her purpose. Her deep

SIGNED THE AGREEM EST.
Over Two Thousand Men Conclude to
Leave Labor Organizations and
Strong Drink Alone.

Six weeks ago Austin Corbin, president
OF the Reading railroad, gave notice to the
$500 employees of the Reading Iron com
pany, which was reorganized out of the
defunct Reading iron works, that they
could only expect to get back their old
positions upon condition that they severed
all connection with labor organizations
and agree to leave strong drink alone,
especially when on duty. Up 10 Wednes-
day over 1000 men had signed the agree
nent, and that morning the company's
sheet mill resumed operations after being
idle for six months. Dense volumes of
black smoke ascending from five of the
tall iron smoke stacks of as many pud-
ding furnaces announced tho welcome
news To the residents of the lower section
OF Reading that the sheet mill of the iron
company was again in operation. II took
but short time TO put the furnaces to the
white heat necessary TO puddle iron, and
the men went TO work with will. Two
turns, day and night, have been ordered
out, and between 20 and SO men will be
busily engaged until Tuesday or Wednes-
day next, when the full mill viii 20 into
operation, giving employment TO go mon
and boys
The puddle furnaces have been idle since
February rs. BY September / tho com
pany's $500 men will bc mt work in every
department. All the real estate that be
longed TO the old Reading iron works and
actually not needed by the new company to
carry on their works viii be sold The old
company owned considerable property,
from which no revenue was derived, but,
on the contrary, was burden, on account
OF the taxes having to DO paid. 1t is ox-
pected that when the affairs of the old
Reading iron works come to be settled, the
dividend for distribution among the credi-
tors viii be about 10 per cent. The proceeds
OF the sale of real estate will be about sufl-
cient To satisfy the judgment OF the Reading
railroad company and the accrued interest
on the mortgage.

How . Party of Youngsters Assisted at
the Reservoir Cleaning.
The work of cleaning the cast reservoir
Of mud Is not as small contract ms many
supposed and IL IL not yet finished by
any means. Tho work of removing the
mud was concluded to-day, but the whole
inside will have to be swept and scrubbed
yet. The place was well worth a visit
while the mud was being taken out.
On the north side Of the reservoir
stairway was constructed. the steps of
which led from the top of the bank 10 the
bottom Of the basin. The mud was all
scrapcd or hauled 10 the bottom Of this
stairway, and then placed in buckets. on
each stop of the stairway stood a man and
they got the mud TO the top by pass
ing the buckets from one TO another.
The mud was then placed in
long schultz through which IL was
run down the bank into place made to
receive it, The funniest part of the work
was that done by about fifteen boys, whose
ages range from II TO l6 years. Each one
Of these stood behind the bucket mon in
row, and as the buckets were emptied they
passed them back to the bottom of the res
ervoir. The place where the boys stood
was rather slippery, and at times
IL was difficult for them 10
retain their foothold. The work
they did was anything but pleasant,
but 1t is likely that dirtier lot of boys
were never before seen together. They
seemed to enjoy making themselves look
badly and when they thought mud was not
coming sufficiently fast they would throw
1t upon each other by the handful, or slide
down the dirt walled embankment. Their
clothing, hats and even their hair was full
of mud, yet all seemed TO enjoy themselves
hugely. How they will ever become clean
again no one knows. Ever since the work
was begun il has required tho combined
efforts of Superintendent Frailey, his en-
ployes and a police officer to prevent them
from crawling into the fountain TO wash
and thus stop it up When the backs of these
men were turned, however, some Of the boys
managed to get into the fountain. where
they looked like mud catfish. They COW
erod the two pretty stairways at either end
Of the reservoir with mud by crawling up
and down them and they will have to be
washed. The boys receive 50 cents per
day for the work and when it is finished
they will be flush. The mud taken from
the reservoir will be hauleclsby Contractor
Schwebel TO his farm, as 1t viii make good
manure.
