What to do Until the Doctor
Arrives.

1t is very hard to stand idly by
and see our dear ones suffer while
awaiting the arrival Of the doctor.
An Albany N. W dairyman call
ed at drug store there for a
doctor to come and see his child,
then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word
for him to come at once on his re-
turn. He also bought bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
which he hoped would give some
relief until the doctor should arrive
In a few hours he returned, saying
the doctor need not come, as the
child was muth better. The drug
gist, Mr. Otto Scholz, says the
family has since recommended
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to
their neighbors and friends until he
has constant demand for it from
that part of the country. For sale
by all druggists.

Dillon Denounces British

DAlOll OCHUullCc6 DTlJlou.
Mr.. John Dillon. Irish leader in
the English Parliament, was invit-
ed to. send a message to be read at
the recent banquet of the Marquette
club in this city, which developed
enthusiastic Boer sentiment. Mr..
billions reply, which was delayed
in transit, has just been made pub
lie. 1t is dated Dublin, February
%, and says in part:
sin Ireland we regard the war
now being waged BY the British
Government against the two repub-
lies of South Africa as the most I'M.
just, criminal and cowardly war OF
the century. In order to deceive
liberal opinion in Great Britain and
abroad, pretext was put forward
that the object of the attacks on
the republics was to secure equal
rights for the Uitlanders. The falsi-
ty of the pretext has been exposed
by the fact that Uitlanders of all
races except English are fighting in
the armies of the two republics. To
use the words of Secretary Reitz.
Great manifesto to the Free Staters',
according to the Colonial Secretary,
England has constituted her cham
pion of all the Uitlanders. And
what do we find? On the board,
side by side with the burghers, we
find these same Uitlanders in hun
dreds, Germans, Irishmen, French
mon, Belgiaps and Scandinavians,
and even Englishmen, ready to lay
down their lives in order to rid
themselves of their self-constituted
Champion
"All the civilized world now sees
that the real object of this conspir-
acy and the war against the repub-
lies of South Africa is to deprive the
republics of their liberty to steal
their gold mines, to increase divi-
dends by reducing the wages of
laborers in Johannesburg, and to
establish the ascendency of the Eng
fish race over all other races in
South Africa.
"Was war ever urged for such
infamous objects?
"In pursuance of this conspiracy
against the liberties of South Africa
the press In Great Britain and
South Africa, which is financed or
controlled by spectators and mine
owners, who are chiefly responsible
tor the war, has assaulted the Boer
people with a torrent of calumnies
and lies unparalleled in human
memory
"The Irish people, who know from
experience the bitter fruits of race
ascendency and the denial of liberty,
stand today for liberty and justice
in South Africa, as they stood in II
70 for liberty and justice in Amer
lea, and we look with confidence to
the citizens of that greatest of repub-
lies, which throughout the nine
tenth century has been the mecca
of all lovers of liberty and the re-
fuge of the oppressed, to extend its
sympathy and all powerful aid to
the small peoples who are fighting
with splendid heroi SIN to vindicate
in South Africa today the same
principles which your ancestors
fought for and died for in the great
war which gave freedom to America

MIR. GLASS EXPLAINS.
Tax Collector Talks About the Audit
ing Committees Report

State and County Tax Collector George
l.. Glass was seen by a representative OF
The Post yesterday in reference to the
report OF the committee appointed soma
time ago at the instance of the grand
judy to investigate the affairs of thu
various county Offices, which was pub
lished In The Post of the End instant.
Mr.. Glass said: In regard to the
report OF county finance committee as
it applies to my office. while l appreciate
the kindly clearance given me, would
like to state that my report OF fees col
lected for the past fiscal year has been
filed since their report of June IA, and
the sum OF SS1154 excess fees collected
paid to the county treasurer.
The fees covered by this report are
from commissions on tax collections up
to December /, 1899, and were reduced
somewhat by reason of large portion OF
the 1898 tax having been paid previous
to my taking office on December 8, 1885,
The work of the office during the year
was largely increased by reason of the
collection of delinquent taxes under the
Colquit tax law, and the cost of the above
work alone In the collection OF about
$40, 900 delinquent tax was about $1,000,
while my misslons-SUr same did not
exceed $500, making a. loss to the office
on these collections of about 200
''As to the delay oil annual reports there
was none as to the paying over to the
State and county of any cash balances
due, All cash collections are paid over
in full at the end of each month and
the annual reports are intended only to
show that the taxes uncollected will bal
ance collectors account for the previous
year.
"The law does not provide that the
current roll shall be closed previous TO
March 81, and the redemption report
| April 80 and 1t requires month or more
to make up the delinquent report Tor
counties of this class.
81 see that for the year 1897 these re-
ports were filed June 15 1898, for the
year 1898 July Is, 1899, and for the year
! 1899 July OF this year.
For both years 1898 and 1899 | he'd
open the current roll month or more
later than usual to reduce the delinquent
reports as much as possible, which al
the same time gave to taxpayers the
privilege of paying without the addition
OF interest and costs, which is added
after these reports are closed"

STATEMENT FROM MIR. WILLIAMS.
More Regarding the Auditing Cone
mfttee's RcpOrt


Mr.. John Williams, clerk of tho civil,
district court of Harris county, is in no
way satisfied with the report of the audit
ing committee in reference to the copdl-
ton OF the affairs of his office. as he
thinks that an Injustice has been done
him in the way in which the statement
was made.
Il keep my accounts. file records.
books. etc." said Mr.. Williams to a Post
reporter yesterday, according to the
form and method prescribed by law. |
have been governed by the opinions from
the best authorities as TO the manner of
making my reports and have made them
accordlngly
While can not believe that the audit
ing committee intended to do me an in
Justice IN their report as printed in The
Post of August 2, yet must say that
the report shows upon its face that those
who made 1t were not familiar with the
law or with the practice that prevails in
the conduct of my office, in this, that
they have charged me with about s15, 900
OF uncollected fees, which in no sense
Whatever Is chsrgeable against me- Tho
law nowhere imposes upon me the duty
of collecting these fees, the major por-
ton OF which accrue in cases where pau
pers oaths are taken. in cases of in
solvent litigants. where the fees are abb
solutely uncollectable, and win always
stand on the books as a loss
Il will be extremely obliged to the
auditing committee If they will but show
me how these fees can be collected, as |
would be that much better off
las the report stands there is now in
both courts deficit due me for 1898 and
1899
so far as the law in reference to tax
suits Is concerned, Art. 2495 CID provides
that the fees allowed by law to district
clerks. county clerks collectors and other
officers. named in the law. in suits to
collect taxes shall be in addition to the
maximum salary fixed by the statute, and
i take 1t that 1t does not require lawyer
to understand language as plain as that.
IF l am given tho credit to which /
am entitled for uncollected fees, as shown
by the report. 1t will readily be seen that
there will be balance due me.
''As shown by the statement OF the
auditing committee the total amount OF
fees collected aggregate s17,507.06, as
against that / have credit for salary
excess and amount to deputies of
S22,S7S.66. which would leave a balance In
my favor or deficit due me when coll
lected of S4971. 60.
from a careful reading and considera-
ton of the report it will be clearly seen
that the injustice done me by the com
mittee has been in charging my account
with uncollected fees.
I'm all OF my official acts court the
investigation of the public and my office
and all of its records are at all times
open to honest and fair inspection"

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
Some Points About House rurnishing and Other Matters of a Do-
 mestic Nature

In decorating 6 room, if the furni- ture that goes in it is already in pos session, that should be carefully con- sidered before the tones of color are de- cided upon. A room filled with fine old mahogany furniture was spoiled because of sage-green coloring in walls and draperies. Yellow and white, the walls yellow and woodwork white, would have made the apartment beau tiful, says the New York Post.
 Colored effects in table glass are still popular, and more than the delicate colors are represented. Red in graded tones is favorite, and some specimens in fairly bright blue are also shown. The color is rarely solid throughout the vessel or dish, but shades prettily. A wine-set, for example, has the stems and feet of the glasses of red or green, with the stopper of the decanter to match. The rest of the articles are in a pale shade, scarcely of white, of the color.
 Taffeta portieres have been seen in some of the more sumptuous country houses. The silk is of a heavy quality and of extra width and finish. They cannot, however, dispute the palm with the velveteens and corduroys that are shown this autumn in the most beau tiful tones of color. These fall in artistic folds and with a grace that is eoualed by almost no other portiere fabric.
 A handsome and appreciated we'd ding gift to bride setting up house. keeping is silver serving-dish. If one or two friends can select together 8 pair of these dishes, with platter per haps from third giver, the set in sim liar ornamentation, the table-service of the new household will be we'll started. Whole dinner sets of china are now lit tie sought after, handsome sets of plates being chosen in preference, to be used with various silver serving dishes.
 Rice passed through the coffee-mill to remove the flavor of coffee before spices are ground is said to be better than bread crumbs for the same pur- pose. The rice may serve, too, after the spices, to restore the mill to it's primary service, and this latter hand ful of rice, impregnated as it is with spices, will be found an excellent addi- tion to soup. Many good cooks often throw in with the rice, barley. or ver- micelli added to soup clove or two and couple of pepper-corns.

MAKE GOOD DETECTIVES.
1GaAy Women Seem Adapted to the Work ef FerretinK 0ut
 Crimes.

Tn New York city and the surround. ing towns almost 100 women are en. gagged in detective work; in Chicago the number of women similarly em- ployed is quite large. says the Chron' icle. A large percentage of these wom. en are employed in the big stores where shoplifting is so commonly practiced, that the head of one large establishment said: "We could nc more do without 6 detective in this store than we could do without 8 model to show off our gowns" The dodges of shoplifters are innumera- ble. Some wear long capes and slip lengths of silk or passementerie. feathers and handkerchiefs under their arms; others wear outer skirts with long slits concealed by the gath CTS, SO that they can slip their thefts into pockets in an underdress known as a "kickshirt." Handkerchiefs and gloves are tucked into muffs and bod ices. and. worse than all. children are pressed into the service. One success full woman thief tucks lace and em- broidery and any knick-knacks she can lay hands on down the backs of her two little children, who are ex- quisitely dressed; others instruct their small daughters to take any thing that is put in their way. Chil- dren of eight and nine make clever shoplifters. Sometimes two women work together and then it is very diff ficult for the detective to trap them. Women detectives are valued and well paid when they are skillful
