one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the

foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up

Fortunate to Have Gotten Off
So Easily Was Brakeman.

Tuesday morning Tom Baker, COL,
who is brakeman on the |. c. rail-
road came near rolling into eternity,
but fortunately rolled only far
enough to lose his left hand instead
of his life. After having placed a
flag at switch in the yards here he
was running at a pretty lively gait
to jump on his moving train. when,
before he knew anything about it,
he ran against a man standing along
the track. The collision caused Ba-
ker to fall alongside the moving
train, his left hand striking the track
and a car wheel mashed it so badly
that it had to be amputated.

SOME DlLAPlDATED BUILDINGS
The Sanitary Aspect OF the
Places Inspected TO be Con-
sidered at the Meeting on
Monday Afternoon.

The officers of the Board of Health
are making an examination of the
courts and other small thoroughiares
in the lower part of the city, and as a
result OF this tour, the board viii be
called upon to take some action at the
meeting next Monday afternoon.
Secretary Wigglesworth said this
morning that he visited one Of the
courts and found it 20 be in what he
considers a doplorabla condition. In
his opinion some of the houses are not
safe and he thinks they should be torn
down. When Building Inspector Con-
nelly was spoken TO IN regard 90 the
houses referred TO he said he ordered
them torn down a year ago, but did
not know why the order had not been
complied with.
The Health Department recently
issued orders calling for an improve
ment of the sanitary conditions Of
these thoroughiares and the work
mapped out has been done, but S0cre-
tary Wigglesworth says there are sew
eral matters in connection herewith
upon which he desires the board to
take action.
Courts and alleys all over the city
have been inspected and where bad
sanitary conditions were found orders
we're given TO improve the facilities,
which orders. as a rule, have been
complied with.

time onward, all through the night
until the next morning, the mail Is
pouring into the branch stations Ia
such quantities that when the carrier
starts out In the morning he is over
Whelmed, with the frequent result that
letters which arrived the night before
are not even delivered in the first mail
next morning.
no remedy this Mr. Wilcox has
asked the department for assistance ia
securing another delivery at night.
Really, another delivery In the even
ing for the residence districts Is what
Now York needs. A delivery starting
from the branch stations at. say, 5. 80
IN the evening would make u possible
20 distribute, the same evening, all
the mail signed, stamped and deposited
in the last business hours. 10 would
also facilitate the delivery Of the first
mail the next morning, which would
then not be clogged up with matter
posted at or 6. 80 the night before.
His plans for the improvement Of
| postal administration In New York
may be considered under four heads .
| First, the extension Of the pneumatic
/ tube service second, the use Of tho
subway for carrying the heavy mails T;
| third, moro branch stations and,
fourth, better wagon service, where
used, and the introduction of the auto
mobile as an aid in making collections.
The office is O business concern that
returns handsome annual profit,
while the national postoilice shows q
deficit. Last year the receipts of the
/ New York office were more than
/ SIG. 600, COO, which Is more than one-
/ tenth of the receipts from the entire
nation. Twelve million dollars of
/ TINS was surplus.
And yet 1t Is q curious comment on
| the lack of business methods so often
manifest in our public departments
that during the past decade the Gov
| ernment has spent more money in de-
yeloping the rural free delivery Ga
most excellent thing in ITSELF and
! which, of course, Is not being criti-
cised herel, upon which there has been
a loss Of millions since 1897, than in
developing the city free delivery,
| which makes immense returns TO the
/ Government.
On the showing Of its present profits
the New York pOstotiice deserves bet
ter facilities and more funds TO carry
on its work. With greater facilities
| and larger funds it will return even a
greater profit than 1t does at present
