The report of the board of engineers
on plans for the sea wall to protect
Galveston calls for three miles Of con.

$3,506,O4O. After the hurricane that
almost wiped out the city it was evl.
dent that steps should be taken to pro-
tect Galveston from another like ca.

cided upon, the plan which calls for
the most pretentious piece of engineer.
ing of the sort ever attempted in the
United States.
The money needed for the enter.
prise will be raised under a constitu.

protection against the encroachment Of
the gulf, provided the proposition is
ratified by a two-thlrds vote of the
taxpayers Of the county. The propo.
sitlon was submitted to the taxpayers
of Galveston county to issue $1,50O0OO

twenty-six votes being cast against It.

COnsumptives Are Welcome.

The Alkaloidal Clinic, a monthly
magazine published in Chicago, and
whose circulation is confined to ply
sicians, has a long article in it's Feb
ruary number concerning Florida as
Il resort for cOusumptives. In the
article are more than hundred
statements from leading physicians
of Florida, and representing every
part of the state, and all agree that
consumptives are made welcome
mere. Palatka is represented by DR..
w. H. Cyrus.
Ever since the dissemination OF
the cOntagion idea the lot of con-
'umptives has been grievous. They
nave been denied transportation Oh
The trunk lines running to the west

effect a general statement from ply
sicians all over Florida will have as

DR.. Cyrus is of opinion that con-
sumption is contagious, but not
in the same sense as other contag-
ious diseases.
The germs of consumption are in the
sputum, and these are only absorbed
in II dry state from carpet sweepings,
etc. He is also of opinion that III

ida there is little danger to the
health of the people from harboring
persons afflicted with consumption.
From the article in the above men

leading physicians in all parts of the

GOT A BIG FAMILY QUICKLY

People are wondering if the Duch-
ess of Connaught will ever have an
other experience similar to the one
she has Just had in India. The duke
and duchess were staying at the
principal hotel in the hill station,
Mussourie, kept by clever, ener-
getic little Swiss. In the hotel there
was a woman who had been sent to
the cool climate to await happy
event. Her husband was obliged to
remain in the plains, but he had
been promised by the hotel prOpri-
etor that he should have a telegram
directly there was any news. AT
last Fritz's services were required to
send the telegram; ne ordered his
horse, galloped down to the post
office and wired: boy arrived, send
dhai" mative wet nurse) On re-
turning to the hotel he was met by
the doctor, who told him that there
was another baby. Back he rode,
and sent off Il second telegram:
Another baby, send fwo dhais."
This happened twice more, until the
kilograms had been sent to the as
tonished husband, and message
from him to the Swiss. 'Repeat
telegrams" had been complied with.
Within "a hours the unfortunate man
arrived with four wet nurses in his
train. The duchess was godmother
to the four infants.
