Many people are troubled with itching
eyes and try all sorts of washes. The
eye is one Of the most valuable organs Of
the body. Unfortunately for careless
humanity, it is also one of the most deli.
cate. It does not pay to triae with it.
The best way to treat itching is to use a
cool, weak salt water wash every few
hours. If this does no good, go to a
physician who makes a speciality of eye
diseases. New York Journal.

The Firemen Meet.

The fire department met at the Central hal
last night in regular monthly iession with a fair
attendance. The president and secretary were
both absent, their places being filled by DR.. J.
L. Cooper in the chair and E. M. Reilly at the
secretary's desk.
communication was read from President
Jake Levy of the State fremen's association,
regarding deficiency in the monument fund, and
asking any relief which the department might
be able to grant, A committee was given charge
of the matter, but it is safe to say $50 will be
gra ted to help out the monument fund.
The question of taking stock in the Spring
Palace came up and it was decided that $50 was
the extent to which the department could afford
to 20.
Several new members made application and
were admitted to membership.
The necessity for new floor for the central
fire hall was brought up, and after long and
loud discussion of the attitude of some menlb ers
of the council toward the fire department and
their dilatorness N granting the requests of the
fremen, it was agreed that the council should
be petitioned to allow the department to put in
the new floor, and that the matter should be
placed in the hands of the printing committee.

INTERNATIONAL SANITARY REGULATIONS.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The PAN
American congress has adopted the re-
port of the committee on the subject of
sanitary regulations. The report, after
discussing the question of sanitation as it
effects nations, recommends the consid-
Grafton of the following propositions by
the conference: That taking the exist
ing state of relations between the
nations of America, it is as
practicable as it is advisable
for the promotion of those relations to
establish perfect accord with respect to
sanitary regulations; that the greater
part of the ports of South America on
the Atlantic are guided and governed by
decisions of the International convention
of Rio de Janeiro of 1887; that although
it does not appear that the plans of
the sanitary congress Of Lima OF 1889
have passed into the category of late
national compacts, it 10 to be hoped they
will be accepted by the governments that
participated in said congress, because
these plans were discussed and approved
by medical men of arkuo 8ledged ability;
that the sanitary convention of Rio de
Janeiro of 1887 and the draughts of the
congress of Lima of 1889 agree
in essential provisions to such
an extent that it may be said
they constitute one set of rules;
that if they were duly observed in all
America they would prevent, under the
circumstances, the conflict which usually
arises between the obligation to care for
the public health and the principle of
freedom of communication between the
countries; that the nations Of Central
and North America were not represented
either in the sanitary convention of Rio
de Janeiro or the congress of Lima, but
they might easily accept and apply to
their respective ports on both oceans
these sanitary regulations.

nation.

so good a programme as that Of yester-
day is bound to come TO the front.

the proceedings in the house of commons
yesterday in relation to the Cleveland
street scandal, says the Liberals intend
to protest against Labouchers's suspen-
sion in such a manner as to deter the
chairman from again making such
ruling as that of yesterday. The Star
also accuses the government OF culpable
remissness in enabling titled criminals to
escape punishment for connection with
the scandal. The Pail Mall Gazette de-
mands of Lord Salisbury the appointment
of a commission of inquiry to de-
eide who is to blame for
the escape OF the criminals. The Globe
denounces Labouchere for his insoleuce
and says his political TRADE led him TO
endeavor to connect the government
with nauseous scandal and to pose as
hero and martyr.
The Conservative members Of parlia-
ment intend to demand that Labouchere
be compelled by the house 10 name his
authority for his statement in the house
of commons last night regarding the con-
versation between Lord Salisbury and

ton to Lord Arthur Somerset. It is re-
ported that Sir Francis Knollys, private
secretary to the prince of Wales, was

Kilgose and the Worlds Fair.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Ihe Chicago Inter
Ocean thus speaks of Congressman Kilgore in
its Washington dispatches concerning his atti-
tude upon the Worlds fair bill: ''Kissgore of
Texas showed his hand early in the fight. His
record as an obstrucionist in the last congress is
well known. He has never yet made a record
for anything. He, too, delights in destruction.
If he could have his way in legislation the man
ufacturing centers of the North would be
converted into sterile wastes like tn
indicated his intention to be foremost in the
fair. But at the end of his Fl st sentence he was
warned that the man with the gavel was not to
be trihed with. Mr.. Kilgore attempted to
tain parliamentary point by the statement
that the United States government IS going
into the shoY business in competition with
the gentleman to order, with the words: 1T
seems to be hardly parliamentary inquiry. -
It is evident from the above quotation that
Gu cago was SO jealous OF its position in the
house legarding the World fair that its papers
resorted TO personal vituperation and petty
sings to whip every member in line who had an
opinion not in accordance with the Chicago
idea. This is not journalism. is it good
breeding Mr.. Kilgore can afford to stand
upon the record he has made in congress.
He is conscientious, fearless and indie
pendent man. He is not obstructionst in
the general meaning of the term. He is de-
sirous of legislatng for the greatest good for
the greatest number and he has always been
consistent in his policy and vote upon all public
measures. If the Chicago Inter Ocean or any
innuendos and sarcastic sings it is very much
mistaken.

PARIS, TEX. Feb. q, 1890.

GAh4SJ 1E<A' GGN' 80 A1SSs
To the Gazette.
PARIS, TEX, Feb. 23.-The ridiculous story
framed by the reporter of the Fort Worth
GAZETTE and shot across the wires to the prin-
cipaI papers in the United States, is without an
tote of truth. In fact, nothing uncommon has
been found. either in the shape of an old fort
excavation or anything else of the kind IN the
region indicated-ffty miles west of Paris.
The report is without the Semblance OF proba-
bility, and comes purely from the scenes where
imagination holds forth the form OF things IN
known.
AS the foregoing was written by the CORE
spondent of the Dallas News before the article
appeared in THE GAZETTE, it shows that the
writer did not know anything about the matter.
1t was an apology for being scooped, and being
a novice in journalism, and unacquainted with
its amenities, he did not know what else to say.
No one here doubts the story in any particular,
and the correspondent of the News would
have gladly sent, sent it to his yi paper e
noticed that the item in the News says the
place is fifty miles northwest of Paris, when 1t
was stated in THE GAZETTE that it was fifty
miles northeast.
The following items from the Dallas News are
significant:
AN OLD, OLD STORY.
BLOSSOM, TEX, Feb. 25.-The old fort story,
which is not new now at all, probably took shape
in this way: Ten or fifteen years ago the re-
mains of an old fort were said to be very distinct
about three miles above the mouth of the Brazos
on Red river, which fort was supposed to have
been built by a remnant OF La Sales followers,
where they are said to have emained for a year
or two after his murder. This is about twenty
five miles little west of north of Paris. The
change of the current of Red river has destroyed
them in the last few years.
WHERE DID THEY GO?
HONEY GROVE, TEX, Feb. 26 Those of an
investigating turn of mind had their curiosity
greatly aroused this morning by the suspicious
maneuvers of three gentlemen, all strangers
here, who came in on the early morning train.
They were non-committal and asked but few
questions, but set about arranging for. trip
in a methodical way and lost no time in
executing their plans. After engaging and
paying in advance for livery team and double
seated hack for three days, the trio supplied
themselves with an ak, a pick and shovel and
several other tools. Driving to a grocery house,
they laid in about three days rations and imme-
diafely left the city on the road leading north:
Part es here interested in the recent mineral
discoveries in the country north think the silent
trio are in search of this hidden wealth, and
will await developments with anxiety.
