Black arrived in Clifton from his home in BeeYille, Texas Thursday, intending to take his son home to a sanitarium Satur- day morning, but the bereaved old gentleman accompanied the corpse of a once healthy and robust son. The remains were taken in charge of and accompanied to the train Satur- day morning by a delegation from the Clifton lodge of Eagles, of which the young man was an active and re- spected member.
 Deceased was born in Live Oak county, Texas, in 1877, making him at the time of his death B years old. He had been a resident of Clifton for the past three years, and by his cheerful disposition and sunny nature endeared to him all with whom he came in contact. Generous to a fault, none applied to him for aims in vain.
 A host of friends and acquaintances in Clifton extend to the sorrowing father, mother and sister their deep- est sympathy in this hour of dire dis tress.

me to try q certain medical college.

the time 1 was induced to try Cuu-

bis hair of and put the Cuticura ONT
ment on him on bandages, as 1t was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand There was not one square inch
Of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass or
sores The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them 1t used
to take the skin OFF with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application of Cutfcura Oint-
ment 1 began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now 1 can say that he is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected Robert Wattam.

one-half knots an hour and the cabins
accommodated only lis passengers.
Now the Franconia's length is 625
feet, its gross tonnage $4,000 tons,
displacement $4,000 tons; it can carry
1900 passengers and its power is
twenty times as great as that of the
Britannia.
More than three thousand workmen
labored on the liner for IL months up
to the launching at Wa1lsend-on-Tyne
The sister ship, the Laconia, has just
been laid down in the same shipyard
and will be launched next year. Next
in point of readiness are the White
Star liners, Titanic and Olympic, two
ocean giants under construction at
Belfast Already they are immense
in bulk and when they are completed
they will be As 900 tons each, or more
than 200 tons bigger than the Maui
retania- They are each $50 feet long
and it is understood they will be fitted
with turbine engines
The Mersey dock and harbor board
has commenced the construction of a
huge new dock at Liverpool, but as 1t
will not be fully completed for three
years, 1T may be guessed that the pro-
vision is mainly intended for the still
bigger Cunarder, that, report says,
will run to &C, 900 tons. Definite infor-
nation is not forthcoming at the Gu
nard Offices on this latest plan, but it
is not denied that the news that has
come from Germany of the new Ham
burg-American liner Hansa has reused
| the Cunard directors to a determine
ton to produce something that will
lick creation for some years to come.
The big German liner Kansas ton
| mage will be almost $4,000, or $4,000
more than the Mauritania and 5000
more than the Titanic. The Hansa
will not, according to present ac-
| counts, aim at ocean speeding. It will
have turbine engines designed to run
| it at % knots an hour, but the cargo
and passenger accommodation will be
immense. So carefully is it to be con-
structed that 1t will not be in commits
sion before the beginning 1913
Apart from the natural rivalry OF
| two great maritime nations in the
American passenger and freight trade
there is another influence on the Amer
lean side of the Atlantic that has made

harbor improvements were carried out
shipping men have found the nmita
