What the People are Saying.
The burning OF the Central and
| st. Leonard hotels adjacent to the
new court house structure forcibly
demonstrates that the site is unfit
for a public building Of such i'm
portance.
The site was chosen in the in.
terest of private citizens and not
the public,-the design of the
building is inappropriate for a pub
lie building, but it would make an
elegant Tourist hotel"
Let the county dispose Of it and
start over again. 1t might be fin
ished off for a hotel, run up seven
stories SO as to secure plenty of
rooms. 1t would rent for enough to
pay interest on bonds, and might
be sold for sufficient to get the
county out OF a very bad specula-
ton.
A proposition to restore the Ala
mo is on foot. To restore the Ala
mo to its condition after the siege
requires a little study.
The Alamo is one OF the grandest
monuments to heroic sacrifice on
the continent, it is all the mOnu-
ment needed to perpetuate the
history OF it's fall. The walls
should be taken down to the old
line, thoroughly cemented to pre-
serve them /; the wooden floors and
traps all removed, an iron covered
roof put Overit it, the floors to be tiled,
in the walls could be p'ac4 I'd mem
orial tablets, and then it would be
a pleasant place to visit.
X
The city should condemn a space
completely around the building to
enable the visitor to see it all. If
the Alamo is to be disturbed at all
let it be done with an eye to art
and beauty as well as history.
The Alamo itself Is a more ap-
propriate, grander monument than
any column or shaft that could be
erected.

OF M
.sWoman's Weakness.n

A new and systematic method.
In the diseases peculiar to women
we employ an entirely new and
uneXcelled method, n pro-
claimed in all the leading hospit-
ais Of the East and Europe to be
superior in every feature to any
system known in all the ages past.
We feel in thus adopting this
system that we car earnestly and
heartily recommend every lady
suffering from uterine or ovarian
troubles Of any kind, or any other
form of female weakness, not to
fail by any means to avail them
selves of the chance to be cured.
These painful and distressing
troubles which make the life of a
woman most miserable, and lay
the foundation for a premature
death, are brought under a special
line of treatment, which affords
immediate relief and most pleas
ant and etfectual cure.

A Disreputable Colored Girl At
tempts Suicide at the Corral.


tempts Suicide at the Corral.
Shortly before II o'clock last
night the police e notified that
a woman had taken morphine with
suicidal intent at what is known
as the "Old Corral" a shanty in the
real of a vacant lot on Laredo
street, just back of the Gray Mule
theatre. Officer Porter rushed to
the place and found Eliza Will
liams, a colOred woman twenty
n years of age, lying on a bed in
dying condition, foaming at the
mouth. A telephone message was
sent to Kalteyer's drug store for
a physician and DR.. Withers an
swered the summons. He ad-
ministered a battery and neces
sary antedites and an hour later
had the woman out Of danger.
A reporter visited the place this
morning to find out the cause, If
any, for the attempted suicide.
When he was shown into the room,
he found the woman lying on de-
lapidated bed, covered with filthy
blankets, sleeping soundly. There
was no carpet in the room in fact
all it contained was the bed, one
chair, a table and a lamp. The
woman was awakened and inter-
viewed. She said that about IL
o'clock she began thinking Of her
mother, who is now living with
her second husband in Houston.
She became wild with grief
and concluded to end her trouble
by taking her life. She went to a
drug store and purchased a bottle
of morphine and returned TO her
room. She borrowed a large pan
and filling it with coax, lighted a
fire and took a seat over the blaze.
She then took the morphine. Re-
manning seated for a while, she be-
gan to feel drousey and went to
bed, and would probable have ex,
pired had a friend not called and
found her in this condition.
The woman has had consider
able trouble. Her father, Henry
Williams, a plasterer, living on
ConchO street, had difficulties with
his wife and a separation and di-
vorce resulted. Eliza was turned
out Of a good home at the time OF
the separation, and having no
means and no way or opportunity
to provide for herself, being quite
young, turned toward the down.
ward path, and has since been
leading a life of shame.
This morning she was somewhat
improved, and will be cared for by
the city until she has fully recov.
cred.

"A sleek, well-rounded COW is very

How to AnplY Fertilizers.

In applying fertilizers it is important
that they be SO scattered and mixed
with the soil as to encourage the
spreading of the roots and plants, and
also to place the necessary amount of
plant food within the reach of the roots
from the very first.
1t generally best to SOW them broad
cast or drill and work well into the soil
before planting. When small guam
tity of fertilizer is applied to each hill
or row at planting time, it acts
mainly as stimulant to produce
an early and vigorous start, which is
considered necessary for the tobacco,
but often renders the crop more scnsi-
tive to drought. In any case care
should be taken to mix the fertilizer
with the soil, so that it will not como
in contact with the seeds or plants.
Most fertilizers, and especially those
containing much nitrogen, soluble
phosphoric acid, or potash, will iniure
or destroy young plants if brought di-
rectly in contact with them.-Ken.

The Color OF Milk,

We often hear, says one of our for
eign exchanges, a dairyman boast of
the fact that his cows give rich
looking" milk. Hence arises the ques.
ton; docs light color always indi-
cate poor milk, and does II yellow
color always indicate rich milk?' AS
a matter of fact, color of milk is no
safe guide to its richness in fat con-
tents. The color of the strippings and
the first milk will answer this ques-
ton. The strippings are usually six or
eight times richer in fat than the cor.
responding first millSings, and yet both
are of the same color. One authority
states that the coloring matter in milk
is heterogeneous chemical compound,
and he calls it iactochrome, and says it
is this compound that gives milk, but
ter and whey its yellow tint. The
amount of this coloring matter in the
milk is influenced by the food of the
animal as well as by it's individuality.
That the color of milk is not certain
index of its fat contents is borne out by
the white butter usually produced on
winter food, and the golden-hued June
product, though June grass milk is not
phenomenally rich in fat-though the
fat is highly colored. -National Dairy.
