The City Drug Store to the Front
A LIGHT represeD tatfve stepping
In the City Drug Store on East Com
merce street, poticed the great i'm
prOvements which have recently
been made in this place of business
Mr. Reuss, the new proprietor, has
had the building thoroughly refitted
aud painted throughout, and it now
presents a neat, clean and attractive
appearance, second to none In the
city.
Mr.. Reuss (who purchased and re Z.
opened the City Drug Store about q
month ago. has had "a years ex.
perience In the drug business, having
been in the state of Texas 10 years of
that time; it is evident from this fact
that he knows the wants of the trade.
Since taking possession Mr.. Reuss
has purchased q fresh stock of drugs
and druggists articles, fancy toilet
articles etc. etc. and now has q COM
plete stock of everything in this line.
He Informs the LIGHT that, special
atten ton will be given to filling,
prescriptions promptly and accurate
ly at all hours, the prescription de-
psrtment being in the competent
hands of Mr.. A G. Loelkes, q graduate
of the Philadelphia, Pa, college,
who will make the prescription de-
partment the feature of this Phar-
macy.
The City Drug Store has in the past
enjoyed foe trade, receiving q large
share of the public patronage; CEN
trsIly located as it is, convenient of
access to any part of the city with
such a complete stock at Mr. Reuss
carries, and with the facilities which
he has for promptly filing all orders,
there is no reason why the new pro-
proprietor should not meet with the
success in business which his long
deserves. The LIGHT re-
him to its readers, and be-
speaks for him fair share of the
trade. 1882

Change In a Large Business Firm

There has recently been a change in
one of the largest hardware firms in the
city, that of Mr.. r. j. Hofheinz, on Mill
tary plaza.
Mr.. Hofheinz is one of the pioneers in
the hardware business in this city, start
ing years ago with small capital, and
by strict attention to business and square
dealing he has built up fine trade. His
business has assumed such dimensions
that he recently sold the hardware and
stove department to MeSSrS Ed. l.. and
Hugo Hofheinz, retaining for himself the
wagon, buggy and implement department,
with Adolph Wilke as manager.
The style of the new firm is K. L. Hof-
heinz & Bro, and they will carry gener-
al line of hardware, paints, tools, wagon
material, house furnishing goods, etc.
The members of the new firm have been
associated with X. j. Hofheinz for the
past six or seven years, Mr.. Ed i. as
6ookkeeper, purchaser, and virtually
manager, and Mr.. Hugo as salesman.
They are both young men of sterling
character, business energy, and will no
doubt meet with success

While driving the piles for the foun
datiOn of the Tulane Medical Museum
q wide, underlying stratum of such
hard character that a weight Of AGO
pounds on a pile driver cannot drive a
pile az inch further downward, has
been discovered at the site of the new
Tulane Medical Musenm--tbe Richard
son memorial--at the corner of Canal
and Robertson streelB.
The work of driving piles upon
which TO base the foundation Is now
going on. A few days ago 1t was
noticed that it was impossible to drive
down longer piles than those thirty
five feet in length. When efforts TO
hammer them down were persisted in
the piles were shattered without any
movement downward being per
eeptible.
Mt. SulIy, Of SuIIy d Toledano,
who is supervising the construction Of
the building, at first advised the fore
man 70 bore through the Obstruction
TO learn its character, suggesting that
it was a bare possibility that big
layer of salt was the hard substance
that stopped the piles. Before this
idea was carried out Mr.. SuHy learned
from the party who dug the srtesian
well at the Crescent brewery, that at
the depth of IS feet the drill bad
encountered much opposition and the
washiBgs revealed that the obstruction
was q formation Of shells six feet
thick.
Mr. Sully regarded the matter as
quite important. II is the FIRST time
10 the history Of the city that solid
foundation has been found SO near the
surface. The layer of shells is of uni,
form level and is probably very wide.
It has been encountered at al places
on the site of the university, whose
extreme limits are 200 feet apart

Some ignorant or malicious person
started the report that the Worlds
Fair is bankrupt; that it had drawn
it's last cent and used its last postage
stamp. And this false report has been
published in hundreds and probably
thourands of newspapers, 1t is still
spreading, and naturally Is doing the
fair harm. The fact is that the expo
sltiou has now S2.5O0,0O0 cash IN
bank aud about a million more in
sight. 1t has not bad, at any time
for a year and a half, less than a
million dollars 10 its credit in cash,
and has had as much as $8,O00,O00
at one time. During the last six
months the money has necessarily
been expended rapidly for construct
ing the great exposition buildings.
About three.quarters of a million a
month has been paid out for this
purpose. A like expenditure will be
necessary for several months to come,
and more money will be needed BIZ
October. The bulk of the receipts
of the fair from admissions, etc will
not begin to come, of course until the
fair opens. 1t is in order to tide the
enterprise over until that time that
the government has been asked to
advance SIS, 100000. The most CON
SENTATIVE estimate Of the fairs re
eeipts and expenditures places tie
former about $4,000 900 10 excess of
the latter. There need not be the
slightest fear of the fair being bank
rnpt, or even Of its becoming Eehard
up" if the government gives the aid
which has been asked and winch is
confidently expected. Should such
aid not be given, the public can rest
assured that Chicago itself, though IL
has raised almost sl1 100000 and
ought pot to be expected TO do more,
will put its hand deeper into its pocket
and will provide enough money to
carry the fair through 10 the grand
success which Il is determined il shall
be and which it certainly will be.
! The fair Is nat bankrupt and will
not be bankrupt. The only founda.
ton for The injurious report referred
70 IS the fact that the National Com.
mission, or supervising body has
expended all Of the money which The
government appropriated for fhe chr
rent year. That body does not provide
the money Tor constructing the build
iags, gathering the exhibits, Or other
wise putting The fair in complete con
dition for The inspection Of The public.
