AN 0D/OUS CO4NPARZSON
Some days ago DR.. Guiteras, O
the United States Marine Hospita
Service, visited Houston and Gal
weston and after an investigation
announced that there were cases al
yellow fever in both cities. This
announcement by DIR. Guiteras did
not suit the medical faculties of the
Texas cities. The Board of Health
of Galveston went so far as to
threaten to hold DR.. Guiteras as a
prisoner, but fortunately wiser
counsel prevailed and the govern
ment expert was allowed to leave
the island city unmolested by the
furious Texans.
The authorities of Houston and
Galveston who had been so quick
to quarantine against New Orleans
and who had gone even So far as to
quarantine against each other. felt
that something had to be done to
check the ill-effects which DR..
Guiteras' announcement would
surely cause. A conference of
physicians from Houston and Gal
weston was held and some most
extraordinary resolutions were
adopted.
The gentlemen who had hereto
fore been SO eager to quarantine
against everything from Louisiana,
changed their minds with painful
suddenness and declared that the
yellow fever which prevailed was
not yellow fever at all, and that If
the country and that there was no
particular reason TO kick against
Houston and Galveston. They de-
clared, however, that the cases
.'presented unusual and confusing |
symptoms" and urged, on account
of the ''close resemblance in Ger
tain forms of dengue and yellow
fever" the importance of isolating
all suspicious cases.
These resolutions were adopted
an the race 81 the positive declara-
lions of DR.. Guiteras that he had
several cases of genuine
yellow fever in Galveston and
Houston, and in the face Of the
fact that DR.. Guiteras' wo rk had
received the unqualified endorse
ment of DR.. Swearingen, health officer
of Texas.

Why should our good friend class

time we have known and met manv
maiden ladies of an uncertain age,
and among them many women of
great personal attractiveness, lovli-
ness of character, sweetness of
manners and unfalteling devotion
to all the duties of life.
Most old maids are old maids
from choice. There are very few
OF them who have not had opportu-

have not been captured, and they
have preferred to live through life
in Loneliness to giving their hands
without their hearts. Many on old

the same intelligent precautions the
South would be as free from yellow

North now is. The disease, like
cholera, tyPhus and smallpox, is
surely retreating before sanitary
science.
1t may not be out of place to re-
mark here that the people Of New

exhibition of courage and good
sense of which every American may
be proud. They know what a visi-

bravely under misfortune, have
kept their heads and their tempers
when the almost criminal cowardice
of many of their neiRhbors enor-

truth about the epidemic from the

Cons Ia n icatton on County Affairs.

Why is it that the county commission
ers accepted and paid up the contract
on the Union Gap bridge when it was
not completed according to plans and
specifications? Here are some of the
items:
First-Most of the piles were not of
the required dimensions.
second-Old plank was used on about
half of piers, and it specifies new planks.
Third-The strap that pass OF the nose
specifies "lxix60," bottled to cap and
pile bolt extending clear through. There
was used instead aax4 straps and lag
bolts extending in but a short way.
Fourth-The pier bracing specifies 8
bolts, extending clear through. Lag
bolts were used in most places.
Fifth-It specifies--and it is very essen
tial that it should be, and must be done
sooner or later--that % loads OF heavy
basalt rock be placed around each pier
with nose.
In regard to the way the work was
done, there are main braces in 60-foot
span that do not do particle OF good
and better out. There is a place on the
north side OF bridge that the straning
beam is IS inches too short to reach on
pier; has placed cable underneath
which should not be accepted under any
consideration, and other items that are
OF minor Importance. From what have
mentioned it would amount to about
$l75. In the face OF this the county
commissioners paid the contractor $240.

J. Turner Gosling, of Ferham, Surrey,
