up to the city to be disinlected and that
would be extremely dangerous. When

Labor Question on the New Elevator
Yet Unsettled.

Criminal Court.

Galveston, Texas, March 22.-As soon as
it was known that the contract for the
building of the Wharf oompanys new grain
elevator had been awarded to j. c. Stewart
4 Co. of st. Louis there was a question
raised about the employment Of home labor
in preference to any other and II was sug
gested that Stewart q Co. would not be
permitted to import labor to work ON the
new building. Messrs. Stewart & Co., 1t
appears. had some trouble with the local
labor unions on former occasion, when
they built the first grain elevator tor the
Wharf company. though they claim that
they brought no labor here at that time
and have not done SO since, except the
skilled lahorers who have been with them
they are required to do, whereas new
hands would not be. The matter was
brought before a special committee OF the
city council some time ago and there has
been good deal of worry over 1t since.
Mr.. Stewart says In relation to the hat
ter that his firm has about $50 men EN-
ployed on the work. and all of them, OK
cept thirty-one, were employed right nere
in Galveston. The others are experts in
their particular line, who have been in
the employment OF the firm for long
while. some of them for twenty years. He
claims that these men are much more val
liable than raw men would be because they
know what they have to do and how to do
1t. He says the bricklayers are being paid
30 cents an hour. or 81. so day of eight
hours. but it seems the men employed at
carpenter work are not being paid the
union scale because. as alleged. the char

HUMAN BLOOD
TURNED ITO water
Remarkable AffHcIiOn Of Miss ROsOIIO Dan,
Of Cumberland, Md.
From The Courier, Cumberland, Nd.

The reporter of Tie Courier hearing of
terrible malady with which young and
handsome lady of Cumberland, Md, was
afflicted, called ut the residence of Mr.. Michael
Darr, 58 Frederick street, to learn something
of it.
Mrs. Darr sad that her daughter Roselle,
aged 20 years, had been afflicted with dis
ease that apparently had turned her blood
to water, accompanied by nervous prostra-
tion pains, loss Of appetite, ETC., making life
burden.
The family physician was consulted, but
his treatment brought no relief, and her
daughters existence was dragging misery.
The mother also said that her daughter
accidentally cut her finger rather severely,
and they were astOunded to notice that no
blood came from the wound "Then," said
the mother, g. was convinced that my
daughters blood had really turned to water"
Mrs. Darr, continuing, said she had read
of the merits of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, and had little faith in such
remedies, but finally purchased q box at
Mr.. Hervey Laney's drug store, on North
Centre street.
After her daughter, Roselle, had taken
one box q slight improvement was noticed
in her condition the remedy was continued,
and after three and a half boxes were taken
her daughters health was restored.
The reporter naturally had desire to see
the young lady after hearing these remark
able statements, but was informed that she
was out of the city on o visit
Mr.. Michael Darr, the father Of the young
lady, is o passenger engineer on the B. and

An Enterprislng Agency.

The current issue Of the Fourth Es-
tate has ON excellent article concerning
the well-known advertising agency OF
Lord g. Thomas, Chicago. In speaking OF
the firm, the Fourth Estate says cen
terprise permeates the entire establish
ment, likewise perfect system, which is
soon evident to the most careless visitor.
"The heads of the firm, d. M. Lord
and A. L. Thomas, are two Of Chicago's
best known business men. They keep
in personal touch with the details Of
their business. G. r. Erwin, @. IL.
Touzalin, E. e. Kunkel, w, r. Emery,
G.. D. Kendall, J. W, Campbell, j. F..
Ryan and G. D. Bertolet constitute the
soliciting force. They are carefully se-
lected and competent bringers-in OF busi-
ness-a most important part Of the per-
sonnet Of the agency.
"Another important division OF the
business is the estimating department,
conducted by e. e. Bulls. This de-
psrtment is devoted to the study of the
quality and circulation Of different ad-
vertising mediums, and the preparation
Of estimates on advertising.
"The order department, under P. v.
Troup, is mathematicslly a marvel, the
system of handling advertisers orders,
from the first to the last insertions, be-
ing perfect. Publishers know that their
relations with this department are cor
dial, and advertisers have therefore real
lied that in so far as it is possible they
got every advantage which may be prop
erly granted them.
"The departments Of advertisement
writing and illustrating are important
factors in this business. d, Fl. Moore il
the writer and j. M, Doyle the artist.

direction of Med. Conger sets in type ali
