Having recently read in your paper of
the death Of SO many persons from lock-

that dreadful disease, f9they will use the
following remedy, send it to you with
the request that you will, for the sake of
humanity, publish this in such type and
prominence. as to attract attention.
THE remedy is simply to smoke the
wound or bruise. in all-wool cloth. new or
old. for twenty minutes. Take live wood
Goals in shovel. Tear the cloth In inch
wide strips, lay them on the Goals and
hold the wound over the smoke, Just
far enough from the. Goals, not to burn.
Do this for twenty minutes. This will
give instant relief, and one or two more
applications will effect perfect cure.

times, on bad wounds from rusty nails.

passage Of an ordinance to Increase the

course adopted with regard to the ordi-

the street cleaning department.. without
the usual reference Of the latter measur
to the Finance Committee, and over the
pratest OF the chairman OF that commit
tee, In addition to such minor business,
the Board Of Aldermen last night sudden
ly brought their messing to an end at
1850 o'clock. The middle Of the business
which had been mapped out for the ses-
sion had not been reached when the men,
bers, foreseeing that they would be de-
tained until the small hours Of the morn
in. If It were attempted to finish up the
calendar, broke for their homes.
It was a long and spicy session, In
which much business of lively. interest
was discussed, and nearly everybody had
q say. and said something worth record
ing.
Liquor Ordinance Killed.
The ordinance making it unlawful for
any bar room or other place for the sale
of intoxicating liquors to be opened, or
for intoxca ting liquors to be sold between
1890 A.. M. and 80 P. NJ of any day on
which said sale is not prohibited by law.
was taken up early in the session and
discussed.
Mr.. Zimmerman said that at the
last meeting, when this ordinance was
laid on the ia BILE. he had given his reasons
for opposing it. He simply wished to
add that the people coming in to market
early In the morning; would suffer If the
ordinance were passed.
Mr.. Minor explained that he brought
this ordinance in conformity to the wishes
Of the police authorities.
Called nm Extremist.
Personally. he had been accused, inside
and outside of this body of being an ex-
he trusted he would tasWayss be an extre-
mist, If insistence on It made him such.
But in making laws he did not propose
TO be an extremist, and etdid not think
this was an extreme measure.
President Turpin asked Mr.. Minor why
he selected the hours when least drinking
was done to close the bars?
Mr. Minor said he was after the all
night bar rooms, which he regarded as a
grave abuse.
Mr.. Washer said Mr.. Minors statement
places the police department in bad
light; that one policeman had broken up
the gamblers, and the whole force slnruld
be- able to control the bar rooms. The
clubs were not required to close at 1880
o'clock.
President Turpin said the clubs We're

Major Allen warmly protested against
this reflection on the clubs. club was

Mr. Beck asked Major Allen what was
the difference between a club and a bar
room.
Major Allen replied that a bar-room
was a place where liquor was publicly
