STIE ship Reuce. which got away
for the Sound yesterday, carried
as choice a collection of buns,
Migrants and ruffians for a crew. as
could be gathered together in any port
in the world. Like other vessels in
the harbor, the Reuce lost the best
part of her men through assertions.
The services of Lewis & Turk were
requisitioned. and in a short time they
delivered the goods. The waterfront
was recruited from end to end in
search of likely candidates. with the
result that when the shipping masters
had finished their work the front was
minus over a dozen of its hardest and
most worthless habitues. Included in
the crowd were two or three Porto Ri
cans If Captain Whitmore ever gets
his ship to port his experiences with
his made to order crew should be
mighty interesting to listen to.

NEW BOARD OF HEALTH
Meeting Will Be Held Tonight
to Talk Over Things.

There will be a special meeting of
the board of health this evening in the
city building, which will be attended
by the newly appointed members of the
board, Dr. Massey, Councilman Griley
and Councilman Nichols.
The new members of the board are
not inclined to tell what they expect to
accomplish, but they say that they will
endeavor to separate DR.. Judd from
some of his authority, and eventually
make him a figurehead in the depart
ment, provided he will not resign.
1t is likely that a rule will be adopt
ed giving the mayor the authority to
appoint all guards for the department,
instead of leaving this in the hands of
the city physician. DR.. Judd has ap-
pointed many of the policemen as
guards who We're let out by Mayor
Parker, and this does not suit the ad-
ministration portion of the city council.
The three appointments made by
Mayor Parker practically gives him the
control of the board of health, and some
of DR.. Judd's bitterest enemies are now
the majority on the board. The new
members, however, do not think that
they can force DR.. Judd to resign, un-
less he decides that the position is too
uncomfortable.

IN THE HOUSE
Washington, March 12.-After trans
action of routine business the house
went into committee of the whole and
resumed the consideration of the post
office appropriation bill. Mr.. Sims
CTenn) reviewed the facts in connection
with the enactment of the permanent
census law, and asserted that the house
had been grossly deceived by the action
of the conferees. 1t had been the in
tention both of the house and of the
senate he said, to enact a provision
which would cover all the employees of
the census bureau into the classified
service and make them eligible for
transfer, but the conferees had substi-
tuted a provision which defeated the
objects sought to be obtained by the
two houses. He charged that Mr.. Hop
l5ins, of Illinois, who presented the con-
ference report, had deceived the house.
Mr.. Hopkins action he declared called
for the strongest censure by the house,
but as the gentleman was not present
he would not propose action along that
line.

million eggs were received in New York
Tuesday, mostly from the west, and the
price dropped to II cents. They sold
two weeks ago at 81. cents. There is
