NEW PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
What the West would Receive Under q
Proposed New Law.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.--The committee
on public buildings feels disposed to sup.
port a general law under which all places
here q government building is actual,
required for the public business will be
accommodated within few years.
The plan which is sanctioned by the
postoliice officials is to cease putting up
stone palaces at unimportant points, cost
ing tens OF thousands. and in place there
OF to erect structures Of moderate cost in
all towns where the POSTAL receipts are al
least $3 600 annually. 1t is argued, too
that under such a system the government
and people would be afforded proper faCil'
tiles for the transaction Of business.
Some of the western members who see
little chance of getting big appropriations,
ana whose constituents are lily provided
with even necessary postOifice accOmmO-
dations, are inclined TO favor this plan.
The project is to make provision for mod
est buildings, the cost OF which is to range
from 81 200 to $4,000, according to the
postal revenues returned. 1t may be ni
interest to give statement showing how
such law would affect the cities and
towns in Colorado and vicinity.
Under this plan the following cities in
Colorado would be entitled to $25 900
bindings: Colorado Springs, Leadvile
and Pueblo.
The following would geta SIS, 900 build
ing: Boulder Canon City, Durango,
Greeley and Trinidad.
Those entitled to 100000 building
would be as follows: Central City, Fort
( INnIlinu lnnpryotp,tr, .lnn NnnI Snrin,,C
Golden, Gunnison, Idaho Springs, Long
mont, Manitou Springs, Montrose, Ouray,
Sallda, Silverton and Telluride.
In Idaho, Boise City would have a
$l5, 900 building and HALEY would be i'll
the $40, 900 class.
Montana would have in the $4,000
class Butte City and Helena. Buildings
to cost $l5 900 would he given to Anacen-
ia, Bozeman and Missoula, While the
$4,000 cities are Billings, Deer Lodge
City, Dillon, Livingston and Niles City.
Nevada would have $4,000 building
at Carson City, Reno and Virginia city.
Arizona would get $4,000 building at
Phoenix and Tucson, and a $40 900 one at
Prescott and Tombstone,
In New Mexico, Albuquerque and San
ia Fe would have $500 postollice and
$4,000 would supply East Las Vegas,
Las Vegas, Ration, Silver City and So
Corro.
Utah would have at Salt Lake City,
$25 900 at Ogden, $l5, 900, and at Logan,
Park City and Provo city $4,000
building.
For Wyoming, Cheyenne and Laramie
would have $4,000, ed Evanston and
ka"lns $4,000 building.
These facts and figures have been given
to show the operation OF the proposed
system in the western country and also
to make evident the fact that all towns
of any importance would be provided
with proper facilities for the transaction
Of the postal business and the decent ac
of the people.

know and charge that the letter was

EVENTS OF THE WEEK.

The plasterers' union held meeting
Monday evening and formed a plan to
increase its membership, in order to OBJ
tain uniform rate of wages when the
building season improves so as to war
rant the demand. Owing to lack of
unity among the plasterers their wages
have been steadily declining, until some
now receive but twenty cents an hour.
The initiation fee is now reduced so
that all may avail themselves of the op-
portunity to become members. 1t is
quite probable that uniform scale of
wages will be asked this fall.

His Lost Voice Recovered.

Birmingham Comm Special to N. Y. Sun.
Friends of Fred d.. Couch have re-
ceived letter from him saying that his
voice has been restored, and that he can
now talk as well as ever. Couch is in
Great Darlington, Mass. The accident
which resulted in the mans voice be
coming totally dumb is very peculiar.
About two weeks ago he fell, striking
his throat against the sharp corner of
table at the Osborne & Cheeseman mill
in Ansonia. A short time after Couch
was unable to utter a word, and the
doctors were greatly puzzled. Medl-
cal men here said they had never
heard of such case. Couch became
greatly discouraged, and a few days
after the accident started for Great Bar
rington with bis family. On the train
he became troubled with an itching SEN
sation in his throat. So intense did the
sensation become that it almost drove
him to distraction. AS the train neared
Great Darlington Couch looked out of
the window, and, turning to his wife.
exclaimed: 'Mother-used-to-g
by-that!" Mrs. Couch was overcome
with joy. These were the first words
her husband had spoken since the acct
dent. For some time after regaining his
voice Couch spoke rather slowly, but
now his articulation is as perfect as
ever.

superhuous Fat Cut Out,

London Daily News.
We are constantly hearing of extra
ordinary surgical operations, but the
most astounding that has been per-
formed, says our Paris correspondent,
is that of degraissage, or the removal Of
fat from the body. Drs. Marx and De-
mars have carried out the operation
upon a literary man, M. Hiroguelle.
They raised the skin and cut away four
and half pounds of the adipose tissue.
The patient was under chloroform
while thus being pared away. The
skin was then stitched up. More than
a week has passed since the operation.
and NJ. Hroguelle feels quite well, and
is overjoyed at the improvement in his
figure. He says he only suffered from
headache, the effect of the chlorotorm.
1t is arranged that he is to undergo
further parings of degraissageS on other
parts of the body.

Miss Cyrena Alice Boyd. aged nine
teen years, whose parents reside in Yolo
county, died to-day under peculiar cir
cumstances. A few weeks ago she was
visiting friends in San Francisco, and
while there had her ears pierced. She
was very particular to urge that white
silk be inserted in the puncture, but the
thread used contained some coIoring
matter. A day or so after the opera
ton Miss Boyd returned to her parents
home in Yolo. Within few days
she experienced soreness about the ears,
but did not regard the mat
ter as of much consequence. One day
she and her sister happened to be out in
a shower and Miss Boyd took cold. The
effect of the exposure began to manifest
itself in her ears, already swollen and
sore. Then she became alarmed, and
upon her fathers advice, she came to
this city to secure medical attention.
Her ears swelled rapidly, the swelling
extending to her face, and finally one Of
her eyes was closed completely. Erysip-
elias set IN, bloOd-poisoning followed,
and then it was evident that her life
was beyond the power of saving. A
consultation of doctors was ordered, but
death came finally, despite all efforts.

The Vessel Was Dismasted. but He
Was Stubborn, and His Wife and
Crew Remained With Him.
New York Tribune.
The captain of the steamer Aguan,
which arrived at this port on Saturday,
tells story of the sea which sounds
like that old tale of the Flying Dutch
man who swore he would beat around
the Cape of Good Hope If he beat for
all eternity, and is still beating, accord
ing to the affidavitS OF Seafaring men.
The Aguan Is one of the steamers OF
the Honduras and Central American
line. When she was about 800 miles Off
Fernandina, IN southeast direction,
she sighted an American schooner, dis
masted and driving at the rate of four
knots an hour, with the current of the
gulf stream, toward the northeast. The
steamer bore down on the wreck and
hailed her. She proved to be the
schooner Mary j. Cashier, which had
been dismasted in cyclone.
She left this port on March % for
Cuba, and was on her return trip. The
captain, five sailors and the captains
wife were on board. Capt. S. r. Thur
Der was her master. The captain of the
Aguan offered to take the distressed off,
as he considered that the schooner was
drifting to certain destruction, but Capt.
Thurber replied that he would not aban-
don his vessel. nor should the crew. He
wanted to be towed into port. The
captain of the Aguan offered to tow the
diSmaSted schooner in for $1,000. To
this proposals Capt. Thurber replied:
81 will drift with the current of the
Gulf Stream until drift to - before
L will pay $1,000"
The captain of the Aguan then asked
| to be allowed to take the captains wife
! off the Cashier, but that offer was also
refused, and the Aguan steamed away,
| leaving the schooner drifting rapidly
out across the Atlantic. Capt. Adair
| said yesterday that he supposed the
| captain of the Cashier expected to- be
| able to rig up jury-maSt and make
| some port in the United States, but he
thought it impossible. The spectacle OF
| the wife refusing to leave her husband
| in his peril, and the husbands stern re-
| solve to make the crew stand by the
| ship, as well as his weird, hoarse reply
| to the proposition for tOwage, that he
| would drift to the Internal regions be-
! fore he would accept the proffered
terms, made deep impression on Capt.
/ Adair, and he was at the mari time ex-
| change yesterday anXiOuSly seeking fOI
information of the Cashier.
A partially dismasted schooner was
reported on Sunday from the quaran-
| tine at Savannah, which was at first
thought to be the Cashier, but the re-
port has not been confirmed, and Capt
Adair thinks that the schooner is still
drifting toward the final destination
spoken of by her captain.
The Mary j. Cashier is three-masted
schooner. built in Bath, Me-, in 1877, and
| registered 412 tons. She halls from
Philadelphia, and was consigned to B
E. Metcalf, of this city.
