HE Is CHARGED WITH ROBBERY-HE
TAKES SS,625 AND LEAVES TOWN.
Thomas V. Hawkins, a messenger
in the District building, tax collectors S
office, robbed the safe of that depart
ment on the afternoon of August 3Ist.
Hawkins married one of the best
known young ladies in the city, the
daughter of the late Carter A. Stewart.
He has one child, for whom it seems
he had no regard. While it may be
that Hawkins stole the money, would
it not be wise to first ascertain whether
he did not have a confederate. At any
rate his absence is an evidence of his
guilt, and it is hoped that he may be
caught and brought to justice. The
stealing by Hawkins is in
keeping with the many robberies that
have been committed in this city by
others, namely Williams, Corburn
and others. This last steal is no doubt
one of the largest that has ever been
by colored man.

ATTENTION DOCTORS.

Dear Doctor: Our state is seriously
threatened with an epidemic of yellow
fever. The greatest care and watch
fulness Is necessary to avert it. The
prevention of the spread of the disease
depends principally upon the prompt
recognition of the first cases. You will
therefore do your full duty only when
you use every power at your disposal
to arrive at correct diagnosis, when
ever suspicious case presents itself.
For this reason we would ask you to
inform the health office of such facts
Immediately, as this Office will endeav-
or to place at your disposal the most
expert and experienced physicians of
our city to aid you in your responsible
task. Under all circumstances,
though, have the suspect isolated at
once and the utensils disinfected.

You can get almost anything you
want if you go the right way to work
for it and to the place. The man who
goes abroad to find fault with every
thing he sees, or to have every thing
he leaves on this side of the herring
pond found fault with, will be accom-
modated. He can find no end of
things to find fault over, and no end
of people to curse this country. But
if he goes with broad mind and an
honest wish to hear the truth as it ex-
lists in the general mind, he will hear
everywhere the utmost good feeling
expressed for the United States, and
no where more than in Great Britain.
This country and that are too near
of kin, too near one in language
taste, religion, commercial interests
and all else ever to go to war with
each other without strong grounds

Uncle Sam is not waking up min
ute too soon to the need of having a
dry dock in which to repair his own
ships, for in case of war without a
dry dock of his own he is at the mer-

made some time since, recommending
an appropriation of $11,O75,OOO for con-
structions of docks is approved in the

DR.. Guiteras is as positive as man
can be that the cases he has diagnosed
at Galveston as yellow fever are the
genuine article. His reputation as an
expert is at stake, challenged by one

he is not likely to make hasty de-
cision. The doctor is accepted here
and in Europe as the best living au-
thority on that special subject. and it
might be a little presumptious to de-
clare him mistaken, but sure it is a
