HARPlNG ON THAT PLASTER.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE TINES: In
your editorial to day thero is one item
which we desire to notice. You state
with great emphasis that the damage
occurred to tho plastering on November
23, and that "it was not reported to the
board until = report was asked for af or
tho publication in Tue TIMES Two weeks
later" You evidently wished to imply
that IL had been passed over by US un.
til THE TINES made its wonderful dis.
covcry. Ii you had taken tho trouble
10 read the contract under which this
building is being erected you would
have found thai the architects have full
power aid authority to deal with ali
problems or emergencies that may be-
mot with during construction without
resorting to tho board of public works OF
To the City Council
In case Of the contractors refusal or
failure 10 comply with tho architects
orders the method of procedure is
clearly stated. And only in case of
contractor resisting the architects ac-
ton would an appeal or report to the
board become necessary or desirable?
1t is not customary in our practice, nor
that OF any architects of our acGuaint
ance.t to appeal to our clients in conSttuc.
ton emergencies until our own resources
have been exhausted, And certainly
when the contractor readily assents to
our orders there can be no reason for
calling in higher authority. An
architects position is higher than that
Of a mere tale-bearcr, and if tho prac-
titioner appreciates the dignity OF his
profession he will not lower himself by
restoring to such means Of accomplish
irg his ends.
Our work on the city buildings through
out, from the beginning up to the pres
ent date, has, so far as we know, been
satisfactory to the board of public works,
who doubtless understand the situation
quite as we'll as The TIMES. That all
of our work has been thorough and mp
right, and that no damaged or inferior
work has passed uncondemned or has
been allowed to remain an unreasonable
time without being replaced, can and
will be proved before the proper tri-
bunal.
This statement must end our contro.
versy with THE TIMES, as we do not care
to enter into wrangle of personalities
and journalistic slang.

Slight Fire Yesterday.

About noon yesterday the fire alarm
was sounded for the first time in over
two weeks. The alarm was turned in
from box 36 and was caused by the burn
ing OF barn near Nelson street, be-
tween Salem and Railroad avenues, be-
longing to b o. Mays. The barn con-
tainei horse and buggy az lot OF
nay. The horse and buggy were gotten
o 1t unframed. The loss will not ex.
ed 500. How the fire started is not
kaown. Daniel Cunningham received
cut in his leg while tearing away some
boards. The wound ia no. dangerous.

a Bravo Young BARBER.

Accounts OF the frghtful disaster at St
Gervais state that hundreds of lives were
saved by the action of young Swiss
named Denzier, who was employed ms Il
barber in one of the hotels which were
wrecked 10y the avalanche
Denzier was ut work when the first ter
riblc cracking sounds gave warning of
danger The whole side of the mountain
instantly gave way; the solid buildings
sw%ycd and crumbled beneath the feet like
dust; the people, stunned with horror,
rushed wildly here and there for escape.
but death faced them on every side Den
zier alone was cool He saw that there was
chance of safety on the other side of the
torrent thht swept down the mountain
For few brief minutes, the mass of
rocks, trees and shattered dwellings which
1T carried down were blocked, gorged with
narrow space of water in the centre
Den@icr, giving orders TO the men, lcapcd
IN over this space boxes trunks. furni
tlre, doors dragged from the hotel, until 4
bridge was made, across which he led the
terrified mob of people to safety.
The GOODNESS and authority with which
this youn. peasant, in the face of an awful
death, controlled the men and women who
an hour before had regarded him as Il
servant was the most remarkable feature
of the achievement Net until the last
human being was in safety did he cross
himsclf.-1 outh's Companion.

Mr.. Oscanyan, in his book ',rhc Sultan
and His People" says that Turkish
physician was called to visit a man who
WAS very ill of typhus fever The doctor
considered the case hopeless, but pre-
scribcd Tor the patient and took his leave.
The next day, in passing by, he inquired
OF Il servant at the door if his master was
dead.
"Dcad'' was the reply; mo, he is much
better"
The doctor FASTENED up stairs to obtain
the solution OF the miracle
why" said the convalcsccnt, al was
consumed with thirst, and drank Il pail
full of the juice of picked cabbage"
"Wonderfulr quoth the doctor, and
out came the tablets, on which he made
this inscription: Cured of typhus fever,
Mchcmed Agha, an upholstcrer by drink
ing pailful of picked cabbage juice"
Soon after the doctor was called to
another patient, n yaghlikgee, or dealer in
embroidered handkcrchiefs, who was suffer
ing from the same malady. lie forthwith
prescribed "a pailful of picked cabbage
juice"
On calling the next day to congratulate
his patient on his recovery he was
astonishcd to be told that the man WAS
dead
In his bcwildcrment Mt these phenomena
he came to the safe conclusion, and duly
noted it in his memor anda, that "athourh
in cases of typhus fever picked cabbage
juice is an efficient remedy il is not to be
used unless the patient be by profession IN
upholsterer"

THE HUMAN PUZZLE.

Roanoke. Dec. Q.

The strangest Monstrosity Ever Seen on
Exhibition at 4 Salem Avenue.
most remarkable human mon
strosity is on exhibition at al Salem ave-
nue.. 1t is called Dion. tho Human
Puzzle. 1t is a manikin, twenty one
years Of age, weighing thirty-nine
pounds, and utterly helpless. It's head
runs to point. It's face is a grotesoue
and satyr like mask. Its mouth is lit
orally cavernous. 1t was born with a
full set Of teeth, yet can eat no solid
food. Its hands are exquisitely shaped
hut its limbs are like pipe stems and
twisted in every dire c;ion, and it. has
never walked a step

this speechless, helpless sem blance of a
human being accompanies it, They
come from the Tennessee mountains,
and will go to New York, but until they
started on this "Trip neither had over

ROANOKE, VA, DECEMBER 10, 1899.
THE TIMES Is RIGHT.

The announcement made exclusively
in THE TIMES that the Machine Works
force would be increased to $500 en-
ployes and pay roll of from sl35, 900 to
Sl5O,00 mon hly, is receiving confirma-
ton from every direction Railroad and
shop men corroborate every assertion,
but their names cannot be used as they
would be exposed to unfavorable criti
cism.
The only flaws found in THE TIMES
story relate to immaterial and minor
details. 1t will bring a smile to the
faces OF experienced newspaper men to
500 the charming innocence of the
guilcloss reporters who interviewed"
Chief Clerk Ramsey and superintendent
Soule. Did these babes in the Jour
nalistic woods expect those astute
gentlemen to open their bosoms and re-
veal the inner workings of the great
Norfolk and Western Sanhedrim? i,
reminds us of the callow treshling who
''interview General Grant on the
second day OF the fight in the Wilder
ness and asked him what no was going
to do next.
Ono word as to our sources Of in!or-
nation. THE TIMES has staff which
can tackle any emergency from foot.
ball rush to a Presidential MESSAGE.
The exclusive duty of that staff is TO get
tho news and it gets it.
The only moral to this Is. if Won do
not take THE TINES you ought to.

Restraining the Beard bv Law

In the reign of good Queen Bess" an
attempt WAS made by some of the heads of
Lincoln's inn 10 restrain the growth of the
legal beard. 1t was resolved that "no fellow
of that house should wear beard of above
Il fortnights growth"-which no fellow
was likely to do if he consulted his own
comfort Although, as we read in the
Percy Anecdotes" transgrcssions of this
resolution were punished with fine, loss of
commons and final expulsion, such was
the vigorous resistance to the tyrannical
order that in the following year all previous
orders respecting boards were repealed
