The Alamo in 1915.

Mr.. John A. Beckman, of this
city, has just finished a pen and
ink drawing Of the historic Alamo
as it appeared in 1916. The pic
ture which, in size, is Is by 30
inches, was copied from an origi-
nal pencil sketch made by Mr..
Beckman when but ten years old,
and while his father was keeper Of
the Alamo. Old veterans who
have seen the Alamo in its origi-
nal state pronounce it perfect In
every detail. John is proud Of be.
ing the owner of this Anticipated
relic, and has had it copyrighted.
He was around yesterday showing
1t to all his old friends.

The New Market House.

The council committee meetings
were poorly attended yesterday
and little or nothing of import
ance was done. Mr.. Orinsli was
before the markets committee with
several propositions to sell or
lease the Central.garden property
for market house. The commit
tee is in favor of buying the prop
erty at the annual installment of
$4,000 without interest.
The property in question con-
tains about six acres, but all of it
is low ground except a knoll in
the centre, which contains per-
haps one acre, which would be
available for the site for the
market house.

Medical profession as the most certain
Alternatives and Depuratives, possessing
the power of removing from the blood

long continued approval of the best

orally of little medicinal value.

HOW II WORKS..

Morses of truth from frcctradcrs are often
highly instructive. THE American Wool and
Cotton Reporter" which clamored long and
loudly for free wool. has a few items this week
which merit the attention of those who are con-
stantly asserting that the textile manufacturers
are rs prosperous as ever:
On account of the many cases of sudden shut
ting down Of woolen. cotton and fabric mills
many competent overseers. superintendent and
designers are engaged In various temporary pur
suits while looking for chances in new mills or
old mills starting up. For illustration OF this face,
a prominent eX-superntenden. OF Owego y. " Is
the proprietor Of large saloon. former de-
signer OF a prominent woollen mill is a retailing
jobber of wooens in Binghamton, y. Y, and
former overseer of a knitting mill Is conductor
on a Scranton PENN streetcar OF the Scranton
Electric Railway Company.
This does not refer to the ordinary working
men. Of whom there are multtudes in these
mills. but to men Of training and skill. What
has become Of the far greater number Of men
and women who have lost employment because
OF the Sudden shutting down Of woollen, cotton
and fabric mills" In such number as to throw
many skilled overseers out Of employment. Is not
explained, and probably the free-traders do not
care What they want is realized every week
I'm the enormously increased lmportatlOns OF
textile goods. But even with the reduction OF
duties this Increase would not be as great as 1t
Is but for the constant underyaluations and
fraudulent invoices Of which the same paper
states:
II IL true that there Is last amount Of difficulty
I'm collecting legitimate duties on dress goods, and
by fraudulent Invoices importers may bring In a
vast amount OF goods which can be sold at pront
at prices already named for the spring season.
Only last week one Invoice OF 5000 pieces OF
dress goods obliged to pay duties on such In
creased valuations that the importer acknowl-
edged he was obliged to pocket a loss Another
lot OF $50 pieces was raised 80 per cent above in
voiced value. and the good work has only COM
menced.
The big imports and fraudulent invoices
caused by ad valorem duties on wooen goods
and the former overseer ~ woollen mill mt
work MS conductor OF n srcetcar are two sides
Of the same fact. Only. 1t Is n fact which Affects
a great many thousand people not rs well able

THE LAWYERS HAT.

Here Is another outrage on the rights or man
under this arrogant, overbearng and tyrannlcal
municipal administration. VIII they never end
until we are all writing and wrlggllng under
the heel Of the despot? The Yorkville Police
Court on Wednesday morning last was the scene
of one of the most agonizing exhibitions Of arbi-
trary power that ever reused the indignation Of
the male population of the East Side or bathcd
its females in tears. Under the benign admins
tration Of the Gradys and DIVERS and Kochs
and the other eminent jurists who adorned the
bench in former times the largest liberty pre-
vailed in the YOrkville Police Court. Very few
restraints were put upon the carriage demcapor,
conversation language or general conduct OF the
East Side residents who find amusement and
recreation in frequenting the court; nor any re-
straint whatever upon the members Of the bar
who combine business with philanthropy by de-
Tending at ridlculously small compensation for
their intellectual outlay the oppressed and down
trodden citizens Of the vicinage who, because
they differ with the constituted authorities as to
what laws should be obeyed and what laws may
be violated are dragged by the minions Of Roose-
welt before the autocrats set up by "Old Strong
Oh the police court bench.
All. those were easy going, joyous. Democratic
times; when everybody was on terms OF famill-
arity with the Court and its officers and attend
ants; when bench and bar. police and prisoners,
court officers and spectators, were all on good
terms with each other and took drinks together
and exchanged chaff, and all were on a dead
level, and nobody put on airs or wore frills The
free and independent voter wore his hat or put
his feet on the tables or smoked or chewed to-
bacco and spat fuently or DISTORTED himself in
the vernacuar of the nelghborhood "as he dam
pleased" These were the conditions regnant in
the Yorkville Police Court only three short
months ago In simplicity Arcadian in uncon-
ventonal freedom Bohemian, the Yorkvillc Po-
lice Court had a charm peculiarly Its own. Every
body was n good fellow from the Judge the
bench down to the prisoner in the pen. and there
was no hard feeling anywhere. And 1t is only
fair TO say that sometimes when fellow was
brought in whom the Judge didn't know person
ally or who had no pull he was fined or In some
other way sternly and severely adjudicatcd In
