 New Orleans, December 12--In tho United States court here today suit for 5000 was filed by the American Trust company of Boston against Mrs. B. k. rinney and the Misses Finney, who own Catholic book store in New Or leans.

 Danger of Blood Poison

Dr. J. W. II. Pollard, football and base ball coach ard athletic instructor at the Universt yof Alabama, passed through University of Alabama. passed through to Boston, where he will be treated for threatened blood poison
 The danger is due to an old sore on frger of Dr. Polard's right hand. The sore has recently become festered, and
 
 skilled work ir this district, would be great opportunity.
 Cost of Municipal Government-The cost ai aumlnlstering of the two cities in separate municipalities is much greater tran one city. and the probability more efficient in the enforcement of law if un- der one government. There are many other matters that suggest themselves,
 it seems to me that if for no other reason the question of sanitation is all sufficient I hope the mayor and board e aldermen and the people of Vivian will concur in this great movement for the betterment of both cities. The prin- cple is that of cooperation, the one uni versal law of nature. ethics, government social institutions, etc. Very truly yours,

from the middle to the top of the
wall. one sure method of avoid
ing this is used a great deal for the best
class OF work in the east when expense is
not an item up for consideration. That is
the use of tee irons or other shapes as
Turing, fastened to the outside wall sheath
ing in such a manner as to allow for the
expansion and contraction of the wood
structure without disturbing the Turing
strips, The metal lath is then fastened TO
these strips and then plastered upon. To
plaster on wood lath laid in the same man
ner as applied TO inside walls is not prac-
teal. The early English way, however, Of
criss-crossing the lath is good and has
served wen in England since the adoption
Of plastered eXteriors. The wall Is boarded
and papereC in the usual way. Furring
strips are then laid nine or ten inches
arart. on these the first layer of lath is
laid diagonally, the second layer is then
laid at right angles to the first layer and
diagonally to the Turing strips in the ep-
posite direction. This method furnishes a
clinch for the plaster which can not be
eXcelled. The principal advantage Of this
form OF construction seems to be the fact
that the lath forms a ground flexible
enough TO resist the come and go Of tine
larger timbers behind and not communicate
it to the plastering. The foundation being
"a continual criss-cross there h no place
in the surface where a crack can fail on a
direct line without meeting a contracting
force from the lath crossing in the opposite
direction. The lath are placed about an
inch apart and il requires only about "A

while il should only require about a third
more labor it usually requires about twice
as much time in mailing. owing TO the

MUST, Fight FOR OLD TITLE
to Secure Property He Owned
for Thirty-One Years,

After being in undisputed possession Of
the lot on the northwest corner Of SIX
tenth and California streets for thirty-one
years, General Charles f. Henderson has
found it necessary to go into court to
quiet his title to the property. The flaw in
his title comes about in a curious way.
Shortly after the civil war Mrs. Caroline
L.. ingalls, owned the lot. She mortgaged
it, and under a foreclosure Of the mortgage
It was sold to Thomas f. Mulloy, who sold
1t to General Henderson in 1877.
The flaw arises from the fact the mort
gage covered only eighty feet of the front
age, while the lot is eighty-two feet wide.
It is 10 prevent heirs of Mr.. ingalls, from
claiming a right to the two feet that Gen
eral Henderson has asked his title be
validated for the whole lot.
