HISTORY.

Popular belief associates the
"king's Evil' with blood poi
soning and it is interesting to
here review the history of this
impression. The Kings Evil
first appears in History just prior
to the Twelfth Century when
Edward the Conqueror imagined
he possessed the miraculous gift
Of curing certain diseases by the
simple touch and by pronouncirg
a few sacred words. After the
example of Edward, the King of
France, became celebrated for
the skill with which they cured
scrofula, goitre, etc, by his pro-
cess. Scrofula then became unil
versallY known as the King
Evil and is to-day sometimes as
luded to by that name. Such q
methodof cure has been claimed
to be the peculiar attribute of the
sovereigns of England and
France, but history does not san
ton this, for it appears to have
been not unfrequently employed
in Scandinavia, and to have been
derived from the mystical prac.
tees of the Divide in curing dis.
ease. The exact words used for
the cure of Scrofula by the
French Kings were: lie roi te
touche, Dieu tie guerisse.'
In this enlightened age no.
body wonld be silly enough tc
trust case of Scrofula to King
or his words unless it happened
that the King aforesaid, had a
diploma or two from medical
colleges Of good repute. At this
writing none Of the Kings i'll our
circle of acquaintance have taken
up the study OF medicine and we
therefore suggest that every man,
woman and child suffering from
this dreadful disease send fifty
cents to DR.. Jonathan G.. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla, for a
bottle of "Marvelo " There is
but one cure for the Kings Evil
for Scrofula and that one
cure is Marvelo. This marvel
Gus preparation can only be OBJ

CONTRACT TOLUCASBROS.
TO BUILD THE UNITED STATES
COAL SHEDS.
viii be Large Structures Near the
Present Fuel Depot-Work Begins
his Afternoon.

Contract for building the three new
coal sheds for the United States gov
eminent was awarded this morning
to Lucas Brothers, for $35,OS9. The
other bids were: John Ouderkirl,
$40, 1873; II. f. Bertelmann, 500 1913; +.
b. Thomas, S4S,977.
Work on the sheds will begin this
afternoon and will be completed by
about February list. The buildings
are to go on the lot back of the fish
market, near the one erected some
few months ago, and now containing
government coal. They will be prac-
tically of the same design though a
! little larger.
One of the sheds will occupy the
square Immediately back of the old
one and the others will set in the dis
trict back of the first two towards
Kakaako. When completed the gov
eminent will have storage room for
all the coal it may be found necessa-
ry to keep here.
The location of the sheds is such
that the scheme of coaling from the
wharves will be made comparatively
easy when the wharf plans are carried
out. 1t is the idea to deepen the Rich
ards street slip so that the largest
war vessel can approach the dock,
where the work of coaling can be car
ried on as easily as supplying fuel to
an ordinary merchant steamer. At
present it is a difficult matter to coal
a warship here. lighters being neces.
sary on all occasions.
1t was generally understood this
morning that protest would be ent.
cred against the awarding of the
contract to Lucas Brothers. One OF
the bidders, it was stated, is dissatis.
fed. There is hardly probability
however, that the threat will be car.
ried out.
