The little Charity hospital seems to
have dropped from the public eye Oh
late. no m ntion of it having been made
for some fine. But it has moved along

the management. Howev.r, motwith

been encountered, the energetic spirits
have ~surmount,d all difficulties and
kept the hospitals head above water.
Through the hot parching summer
the hospital was worth all that has
ever been donated in the relic it gave

HALDANE ON WILSON

Lord Haldane-Viscount HaIdane. t.
be exact,-Lord High Chancellor Of
England, in a speech at IL ThankSgiy-
ing dinner of the American society in
London said many good things, no doubt
but in particular he said two things
Which may b. regarded IS most signif-

This distinguished jurist said that the
United States considered Il rSelf
responsible for the liberties of the
smaller nation $ of the Western
Memispher2. He could see what was
i'm the mind of the president at that
timc-that the responsibility rested
with the United States to secure
good government and fair treatment
for those countries.
He interpreted President Will
son policy to mean that the Unit

ed States was ready to accept tn
responsibility of insuring roo
terms herself in those countries
and to those who went there and
that the United States had set up
high ideas of policy, of Justice and
of righteousness.
Another notable thing about the
speech was the speakers tribute to
President Wilson. He said
'Bef0re he became President
Woodrow Wilsbn was a thinking
man and a moralist. In studying
his career. | can not fail to be i'm
pressed by his detached character
and find that he has not ceased to
be a thinker and a moralist beca lse
he has become the holder of a great
Office. We see him i'm the aspira-
tions and ideals of his nation eX-
pressed to the world. 1t is not ONLY
his expressed declaration that the
policy of the United States is not
one of conquest or annexation. but
the world looks to the United States
with its enormous position to car
Ty on its traditions without adding
to its possessions.
"That is our course also. Nor is
1t the case that when the United

is done for its Owl advantage. 1t

yer. an important official of the British
government. who in so speaking stated
the position Of his government on that
subject. His tribute to Wilson is per

THE PYTHIAN SOCIAL CLUB.
Starts Out With a Large Membership
and a Glorious Future Before 1t.


At large and enthusiastic meeting
of the Pythians of Algiers held on last
Thursday evening at Pythian Hall, the
Pythian Social Club was formed Off
GERS We're elected and plans for future
amusements discussed with a vim that
shows plainly that this long felt want
has taken hold to stay. The purpose
of the club is to, at various times
during the year, give entertainments,
socials and outings, for the amusement
and entertainment of the members
and their families and friends, which
will be strictly complimentary. The
officers and committees are already
preparing for their initiatory enter
tainment and hop and promise that
same will come off at a very short
date. Judging by the enthusiasm
shown at the last meeting the com
mittee will be compelled to make
good. Experienced and old time
amusement promoters are on the COM
mittee and they feel confident that
their first affair will be a grand sue
cess and place the club at the lead in
| social events in Algiers. That the
| club has already made a stir is evi
dent from the fact that many of the
members are being requested by the
| young folks to be remembered when
the invitations are issued. The plans
of the club for their entertainments
will be received with surprise as they
will prove quite a novelty in Algiers
All guests who are fortunate enough
to receive an invitation will be re
quested to contribute only a cheerful
smile and the assurance that they
have had pleasant time. The officers
are as follows:
H. J. Stansbury, president; Jules B
Babin, first vice-president; ]. A. Bar
rett, second vice-president; A. c
Briel, third vice-president; Thos. l.
Norman, fourth vice-president; Archie

COLLECTOR HAS TROUBLE.
81 have come to collect my bill"

q have come to collect my bill"
Before Dan A. Meyer, a wholesale
liquor dealer of New Orleans, had time
to finish his sentence, Samuel Amedo,
grocer, who had owed Meyer bill
for several months, set upon the would
be collector with a large meat knife, it
is alleged, and had not Meyer oppor-
tunely retreated into the street, the
result might have been disastrous to
him.
Like a true bill collector, and daunt-
ed not whit, Meyer made another at
tempt to separate the irate Italian from
the amount of the bill.
This time, however, the groceryman
greeted the liquor man with a revolver
of large calibre, and in so many words
told the collector to leave or he would
blow his head off, Meyer left without
argument.
Amedo is proprietor of a small gro
Gerry ut 400 Newton street, and lives
back of the place with his wife ant
daughter, who witnessed the attempt
ed assault and who prevented the gro
Ger from carrying out his threat to enc
Meyers days as bill collector.
Later Amedo was arrested by Pa
trolman Edward ]. Roach, of tn,
Eighth Precinct station and lodged il
jail on a charge of assault with dan
lgerous weapon. He was released late
when he furnished bond of $3.50

NEW ENGINES TO BE PUT UP
HERE.

So thoroughly satisfactory did the
twenty Pacific type passenger locomo-
tives recently purchased by the South
ern Pacific prove in their tryouts and
subsequent regular trips that the COM
pany ordered twelve more, and Tues
day several of the big engines were
received and sent across the river to
be fitted up in the Algiers yards.
The engines are said to be of the
largest and best made passenger en-
gines now in use on the big trunk
lines. Each engine is an on burner
and carries a Vanderbilt tank, which
| holds large supply of oil. They are
capable of great speed and have an
extraordinary draft power.
Monday one of the new engines was
put to its fullest capacity, and met
every requirement of speed and hurry
The engine was attached to one of the
Southern Pacifics fast California
trains, which was due to leave al
1870 in the forenoon. The train was
delayed an hour and half to make
steamship and other connections, ant
did not leave until l in the Afternoon
By the time Houston was reached al
teh delay was overcome and the trair
was running on it's regular schedule
w. H. Sheridan, the vice-president
is we'll satisfied with the engines
which we're ordered as part of his
big plan of improvement and develop
ment, and it is now probable that run
ming time will be shaved off all The
fast train schedules.
1t was also by Mr.. Sheridan's orders
that the engines were put together il

shops at Marshall, Texas, insurini

who would otherwise have been idle
