Feeding the Sick.

1t is rarely e asy, and almost always very
difficult, to persuade the sick to take nour
ishment in sufficient quantity, and ths
| successful nurse must be rich In expedi
ents. Her persuasive power must be great
She must be patient and yet firmly pers1s-
tent, until her whole duty is done. There
are certain general rules for her to OBJ
| serve. A few of them we will give.
All food for the sick should be of the
very best quality, well cooked, palatably
seasoned, and attractively served A savory
dish will always sharpen the appetite OF
one in health, and it must have stimula-
ing influence upon a delicate patient, to
whom the fat and insipld preparations
usually offered are loathsome and nausea
ting.
Surprise is frequently useful element
in the dietetic treatment of the sick. Some
thing unexpected will often be acceptable,
when, were the patient consulted and ad-
vised Of what was being prepared for him,
would take away all appetite for it. Cook
ing in the sick-room is, of course, always
forbidden, nor should the smell of food be
allowed to reach the patient if it is possible
to prevent it. Absolute neatness In the
service of food is prime consideration,
There is more to the patient in clean nap
kins, spotless china, etc, than many think
A slovenly nurse is out Of place any where.
If the doctor directs that certain foods be
given hot, he means that they should be
hot, and not merely warm, in which condi-
ton some foods are very insipid.
Occasionally one sees the nurse tasting
the food in the presence of the patient-a
most objectionable habit. No more food
should be at one time taken into the sick
room than is likely to be eaten, and what
ever is not eaten should be at once re-
moved. Nurses often leave it In sight, in
the hope that the patient may want it a
little later, but almost invariably they are
disappointed. It is quite common thing
for the physician to find milk in glass or
pitcher standing near the bedside of his
patient, and often the appearance Of the
glass is such that even person with the
strongest kind of stomach would not
care to drink from it. OF all foods, milk
probably takes up impurities the easiest.
Hence, to keep it exposed to the air of
sick room or any other bad air is to simply
render it unit for use. A nurse with any
thing approaching neatness would never
allow glass which has held milk to be
used second time without carefully wash
ing and rinsing. Some consult their own
convenience altogether too much in feed
ing the sick. Food ought to be given
Of regular intervals when possible. The.
Trained Nurse.
The beautiful weather we have been en-
ioying for weeks makes one think that 1t
IS 80 far superior to the languoIous longi-
tud6 OF the so-called Italian climate Of
California, and there is so much more ex-
ozone In the atmosphere that
one wonders that humanity should ask
anything better. Come to Louisiana. We

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2.-There is a
probability that Rose Gertrude, the young
English nurse, who created such a sensa-
ton last year by volunteering to go to the
MolokI Leper Station, will leave the leper
receiving station in Honolulu, where she
has spent several months. The place is
independent of missionaries and they are
stirring up factions against her. The
board of health recently appointed a
leper as manager and he has disguised
Sister Rose Gertrude by his harsh treat
ment of patients and his constant inter
ruption of her plans. The matter has
been brought before the legislature and a
committee has visited the hospital, but no
report has been made yet. Sister Ger
tTude says several well defined cases of
leprosy have been cured recently. DR..
Lutz. the governor physician, when asked
about these cures. said it was a fact, and
his experience gave him hope that the
disease could be checked. He did not
think it was nearly so contagious as re-
ported, aud while he did not wish to say
any particular Treatment was eficaclous
in all cases, still he had made cures that
showed hat the disease was not beyond
the reach of medical treatment.

NEW York, Sept. THE state board
of arbitration began an investigation here
to day as to the difficulties existing
between the New York Central railroad
and the Knights of Labor. Third Vice
President Webb of the New York Cen
trail was the first witness, and said the
company had no controversy with its en-
ployes. On the evening Of Aug. 8 a large
number of employees left and their places
bad been filed. The alleged cause was
that seventy eight members nj of 1000
had been DISCHARGED. They were dis
charged for good cause, but only seven of
those men applied to the company for in
formation as to why they were discharged.
Subsequently a gentleman from another
state called aud wanted to know why the
men were discharged. Witness declined
to give the reasons. This gentleman
was Mr.. Holland. Upon being cross-ex-
amined BY Gen. Roger Pryor. Webb said
he had discharged the men on reports
from members OF the secret service OF the
company. The charge itself was for I'm
satisfactory service. An engineer named
Lee was discharged fer unsatisfactory
service. Lee was very arrogant and inso-
lent, and said he would tie up every
wheel between here and Buffalo if he did
not get some of the Vanderbilt money.

SAN Francisco, Sept. Capt Noble
of the ship W. B. Godfrey reports that
he spoke the bark Henry Buck, seventy
days from Newcastle, N. s. W., several
hundred miles off the New Zealand coast.
She was flying signals OF distress, and
Capt. Miller OF the Buck signalled hat
she had been dismantled by a hurricane.
He said the crew had been on short ra-
tons for several days and begged for sup
plies. Capt. Noble attempted to launch
a small boat, but she was stove In by the
waves. He was unable, therefore. to
render any assistance. The Buck is now
out ninety days from Newcastle and moth
ing more has been heard from her. 1t is
thought that she has been lost. She was
loaded with coal and carried a big crew.
LONDON, Sept. 2.-The British steamer
Portuguese, Capt. Hews, from New York,
Aug. II, for Para and Maceio, has found
cred near AneGada island. British West
Indies. Nineteen of her crew are known
to have been saved. The captain, first
and third officers, chief engineer, two
stewards, boatswain, carpenter, fireman
and a seaman are missing.

New York, Sept. Fires that were
plainly of incendiary origin started in six
different localities in Brooklyn last night
and early TINS morning. Two of them
were started in the cellars of crowded
tenement houses, and in the last one
three occupants, Mary Moore, aged l9;
John Schmidt, aged 10 months, and Ann
OReilly, aged 2 years. were severely
burned in making their escape. The oc-
cupants in most cases narrowly escaped
death. Rushes were made to the win
dows in frantic efforts to get out and
many threw themselves over the iron rail-
ings of the fire escapes where they hung
until rescued by the firemen. A baby of
Ann OReilly was SO badly burned it will
probably die. One of the firemen was
overcome BY smoke and removed TO the
hospital.

LONDON, Sept. 2.-The talk of the day
in English upper circles is the movement,
said to be under the direct patronage and
encouragement of the queen, for the
elevation of the British aristocracy. The
movement took form and shape at a meet
ing held at Maynard Park, the provin-
cial residence of the marquis ard mar
chioness of Londonderry. A large and
distinguished party were present. lnclud-
ing Lord Randolph Churchill. the earl of
Durham. Lord Henry ne-Tempest and
Lord Arlington. The Honorable George
and Lady Anne Lambton. the duke OF
Norfolk, the marquis of Lothian, Lord
Edmond Talbot, Lady Margaret Howard
and Others prominent in the better class
Of England's nobility are said to have
sent communications OF sympathy
and concurrence. The proceeding,
or rather the conversation, is said to
have been entirely informal, but enough
has reached the ear of rumor to leave no
doubt both as to the cause and purpose
OF the meeting. The better sort of the
titled aristocracy, and it includes many
people who are well behaved in public
and private life. are disguised with the
disgrace brought upon their order BY
the Dunlo and other recent %follias, as we'll
as crimes. and are also awakened to the
danger OF such examples to the
permanence of aristocratic privilege and
supremacy. Therefore they propose nv
such precept and effort as they are capable
OF TO convince their erring fellow
aristocrats of the wisdom of mending
their ways and of maintaining the
reputation Of the nobility. So far the
movement seems to take the form of q
boycott: Noted gamblers and spendthrlfts,
even though their pedigree may be as
illustrious as that OF the sovereign, are
vigorously cut off from visiting lists
and from the c~ountenanca and association
OF the reformers. Should the prodigals
show signs of penitence, they are to be
encouraged by a gradual relaxation of the
boycott and admission to the olympian
circle. There is no doubt that the stand
ing OF the aristocracy. as a body. is much
impaired, even in the opinion OF the
middle classes, who usually worship a
lord, by recent exposurers, it is a fact that
the divorce and bankruptcy courts find
their chief occupation in dealing with
arlstocratic spendthrifts and core
s~pondents.

WASHINGTON. Sept. I'm the house
this morning Lacey of Iowa called up
aud the house proceeded to the considera-
ton of the Clayton-B Breckenridge election
case.
Cooper of Ohio opened the debate. He
described the state of affairs leading up
to the assassination of Clayton and said
it was the opinion Of the majority that
the murder grew directly out of the po-
litical methods adopted in that country.
In that view the majority echoed the al
most universal sentiment of all sections.
Ballot box %stufing and stealing and IN
timIdatlon and murder naturally followed
each other. In conclusion be passed a
high 2comium upon the people of the
state OF Arkansas, contendIng that if the
election methods in vogue in that state
we're abandoned the commonwealth would
soon be alive with industry and manufac-
lures.
Wilson of Missouri Joined with the gen.
tleman from Ohio in his panegyric upon
the people of Arkansas, but he regretted
that the gentleman only to-day discovered
how good the people of Arkansas we're.
Ii ne nau discovered sooner he could
never have signed the majority report.
The instigator of this investigation was
Powell Clayton, but Powell Clayton was
the dead mans brother, and while he
would say 10 Powell Clayton in the
language OF the Almighty, vengeance is
mine; | will repay" he could not forget
that fact. If Powell Clayton could divest
himself of the baneful influence of
Poker Jack" Mcclure, he would be
himself again, and would not pursue
Breckenridge from a motive OF vengeance.
The case then went over until tomor-
row, but Cannon took the floor in a state
ment relative TO the appropriations
made by this session of congress.
Sayers, member of the appropriation
committee, reviewed the financial situa-
ton from the Democratic standpoint.
A bill was passed declaring Rock Island
a port Of delivery,
The speaker announced the appoint
ment Of Flick of Iowa. as a member of
the Raum Investigation committee in
place of Smyser, resigned. Adjourned.

THE FIFTY SCHOOLS
Public School Attendance IRIS, a,
Against GA Last Year.

The fail term OF the Cheyenne public
schools really commenced yesterday, aud
with a larger attendance than ever before.
Monday was the actual first day, but
many pupils were out on account of a
strong counter attraction in the shape of
a circus.
All grade changes necessary we're made
yesterday and each teacher took in charge
the scholars to be under her care this
year.
The total attendance the first day of
the fall term of 1888 was COB. Last year
it was GA, but would have been consid-
erably larger but for an epidemic of dip
iberia then prevalent on the South Side.
The attendance yesterday was T25, the
greatest number ever enrolled in the
Cheyenne public schools. Here is a tabu-
lation of the attendance, together with a
comparison with last year.

Merely a low price is not an evidence of
cheapness in merchandise, and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
cheap clothing. We always have some
garments for men and boys at low prices;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments adver-
tise themselves. If you want a serviceable
0~vercoat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
of Trousers for very little money, we can
usually supply much better value thsn
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people, however, want the
best clothes they can afford to wear, and
our rightly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot judge OF the prices without
seeing the clothes.
