He Differs With Him.

Editor Evening Light:
| DEAR SIR:-I see in your paper OF
Saturday, August 2, quite long in
terview with one of the city under.
takers and when he says that Ger
tain case Of a lady dying with fever
and sister of the dead lady took the
disease from the corpse simply be-
cause the undertaken did not know
enough about his profession to pre-
vent the spread of the disease, l
think that the local undertak or
should name the party responsible.
1 have never heard of any such case
and I can say positively that have
never heard of any such case here
1t is also stated in your interview
that it does not pay to have any
other business connected with the
undertaking business flor instance
liveries;) the house that 1 have been
with for the last two years, carry
several different branches of BUSH
ness, and no branch of the bust
ness has anything to do with the
other, 1 have been in the house for
two years and for my life could
not tell you how many horses the
firm have for their every day BUSH
ness and I will wager my life that
the foreman of the livery department
s sboHt tho hs' stock Of you nysRng
goods on hand or anything.
The accounts of all of our different de-
psrtments are kept separate and dis
tinct. By referring to the books you
can tell in moment which depart
ment pays best and it does look to
me if any one part of the firms bust
ness was detrimental to its interest,
they surely W )uld let it drop.
It is said that the profession is
butchered up or botched up. I don't
know just what he means by saying
that the trade Is not carried on prop
erly, but / do know one thing
that one of the local undertake
ers made a proposition to sell cof-
fins at given price, and in less
than four months he was the first
one to kick out of the harness,
and no longer than last Sunday, Au-
gust 3rd, 1 offered man coffin at
what thought was very cheap and
in less than two hours he bought the
same coffin for 81 less than / had
offered it. To speak of union in trade
what does that look like? Statements
that make are facts and can sub
stantiate them. In reference to the
diploma, / know that have one and
think that one or two others have
them 1 don't care to display nine
as q show card or chrome. I get
along very well by keeping it in my
trunk. 1 think that / have as good
letters from friends of parties
that I have embalmed and sent to
different parts of the country, as a
man could ask. Hoping that you
will see thu undertaken and ask him
to name the case that he has refer
ence to, as well as the undertaken in
charge of the case when the funeral
services were held in the yard, and
let the responsibility rest where it
properly belongs. Respectfully,
| e.. &. ELLIS.

A SUPERVISING ARCHITECT.

One of the City's Coming Neces-
| sites.
"Mr. Bolton" began a LIGHT re.
porter, addressing the W ell-knowh and
progressive Alderman, Mr.. John H.
Bolton; "In view of recent discus.
sions, what do you think of the derir-
ability OF having public architect to
supervise the erection of large build
ings, public and private?"
What do 1 think about q supervis
or Of buildings? Well some months
ago presented a resolution to the
city council, which was adopted un.
amimously, calling upon the city en-
gineer land upon the mayors sugges-
tion) City Architect Kramer, to pre-
pare tabular statement. giving the
specification relative to material and
depth of foundation, thickness and
height of outside and partition walls,
and generally all matters pertainingJO
building, including roofs and CALLER
les; this statement was for the in
formation of the city attorney to draft
a suitable ordinance regulating cree.
ton OF buildings, public and private.
So far nothing has come of the mea-
sure. believe the ordinance adopt
ed by the city of st. Louis, to be as
near perfection as could he
disired, and that act provides
for an inspector gives amount of sal
ary, also amount of fees-that the
plans and specifications have to be
presented, examined and approved
by said inspector and he is required
to see that proper measures are taken
by the builder to protect the
public from all fraudulent construc-
ton. This city is now in a
fair way to rival any city in
the state, in its business and public
buildings, and it is but proper that
due precsution is taken now and in
tue future to prevent any fire traps or
unsafe buildings going up; especially
is the requirement of suitable exits
from public buildings to be looked
after. Yes, am firmly of the opinion
that with a proper building ordi-
nance adopted an inspector should be
provided for"

POLITICAL NOTES.

BY Our Special Contributor
The ticket on which Mr.. Callaghan
was elected mayor was called "The
Equal Rights Ticket"
x 4 X
A man who forgets his political
friends as an Equal Fighter" will
forget them as democrat.
Rotation in office is an old Jeffer-
sonian principle that the triumvirate
do not endorse.
The republicans of this county have
been very kind to some of our demo-
cratic Office holders; it is about time
they displayed some gratitude.
Put q beggar on horseback and he
will try to ride down his benefactors.
We have democratic triumvirate
running the Bexar county demo-
cracy.
"The nomination of Joseph d. Say
ers, to be- congressman for another
two years was the direct result of his
pledge to the Express to secure an in
crease Of force in the San Antonio
postoffice or turn the world over. p
So says the Express. It's almost as
good reason as the Express can give
for the denomination of this free
trader in q district where be has i'm
nariIled the millions of dollars
of property owned by. our peo-
pie by his votes in congress-
AS to his securing additional force in
the 8. A. postoffice, it is very doubt
full If Joe could have a twelve dollar
postmaster appointed in Bastrop coun-
ty. But anything to excuse the protec-
ton Express for supporting free trade
Joe.
Sayers has again been nominated to
misrepresent this district. Let some
good republican be nominated against
him. How would Judge Cooley, of
fredericksburg, do?
