On this proceeding the contractor who per- med the original work obtained*the public bid on the figures of the private contract, and thus secured his money. The contractor who had performed the | work under the private contract se- cured the contract on public competi- tion because no one could afford to take up the bituminous rock pavement which he had laid and then put down a new pavement at the figures men- tioned. It transpires now that the Supervis- ors at the last meeting of the board invited bids for certain work adjacent to Alamo spuare, which work has already been done under a pr vate arrangement with the Sup intendent of Streets. The Call the term “priv arrangement” adv edly, as the Street Department con- fesses its inability to produce the pri- vate contract or any record of private contract. There was a private arrangement | between the Superintendent of | Streets and J. Dowling for ;c\!r‘?l!:l{ and grading the sidewalk on | Scott street from Fuiton to Ha —two blocks—and on Hayes street from Pierce to Scott—one block. The con- | tract price was $1495. In this transac- tion it crops out that Dowling was al- lowed 80 cents’' a lineal foot for curbs when the ruling price is 65 cents. ‘When the work was done and the au- thorization had passed the board for | payment Mayor Phelan vetoed the al- | lowance, setting forth that contracts | could not be made in that manner. The authorization was passed by the board over the veto of the Mayer, but the Auditor stopped paymeént. The amourt as segregated into sums less than $500 | ch, but the Auditor held that the seg- regation was an evasion, as the de- munlds were for one continuous piece of work. | To enable the contractor to get monev r the job the board last Monday 0. pukblic compe vi Unle; ors to-morrow will award the | cortract to Dowling at the figures which governed the private arrange- ment between the contractor and the Street Department. It is understood that there are some | bids to for the Alamo square work, becav the grading already done by Dowling will stand to the ad- | vantage of the bidder. What w#l hap- | pen in the board in the event of some- )hod)’ underbidding Dowling ean only be conjectured. The work has been | done, but there is no record of a con- | tract for doing it, and there is no | memoranda as to the price other than | | ! | that shown in the bill rendered.

In black goods the very latest French nov- elty is the shirred chiffon and plaid grenadine that are the acme of the weaver's art, while the ribbon-striped | estamins, poplin cord and silk-finished |armures are assured of great popularity. | All black goods of the house are impor- tations for the reason that the best dyes are of foreign manufacture. Doubtless the most startling and styl- ish effects in colored goods are those shown in the plaid grenadines of two colors in both plain and crinkled effect while the two-tone brocaded grenadin are very rich. A newly introduced nov- elty, meeting with popular demand, is French poplin and poplinettes, both in plain and variety of effect. Crepons also and a splendid assortment of French and English tailor suitings are shown in large quantities. The silk de- partment is replete with new and be- wildering patterns, over 300 varieties being shown in this section alone.

There are a great many people in thls} world who are coughing, hawking and | spitting themselves into their graves. ] Are you one of them? | It is by some considered FASHION- ABLE to be sick, but when the sick-| ness has run its course and the end of | life is near—IS IT FASHIONABLE | THEN. “Hope springs eternal in the humani breast.” | But hope may be too strong. | You may hope that your cough is nothing very serious, that your catarrh will go when the warm weather comes, | that consumption will spare you when it strikes others. | What is a good name for such “hope- | fulness”? Carelessness? Thoughtless- | ness? Foolhardiness? It is better to KNOW than to HOPE. | You can only know that you are| SAFE when you are perfectly WELL | and free from sickness. You can easily learn the way to be| well, if you wish it. It is the system of an eminent scientist, whose advice you | can obtain free, and who is giving to| those who need it free medicine to alle- | viate their sufferings.

Your blood draws its life from the oxygen it gets in your lungs. ‘When sick lungs cut off the supply your body wastes away for lack of nourishment. | { This is consumption. The germ that fastens on weak lungs and eats them up is the consumption germ. The lung is made easy for it to at- tack by colds, coughs, catarrh and sim- ilar troubles. Slocum’s System, which drives all these diseases out of the body, builds the lungs, killa the germs, creates new, natural, visible LIFE in your worn out body—regenerates you completely and gives your system a NEW LEASE of life in a COMFORTABLE BODY—this system, which all doctors, chemists and scientists are talking about, is one of the most valuable discoveries of the times. It is a result of the investigation of Koch, Pasteur, Virchow, Metchnikoff, a reduction of all the various theoretical suggestions of these eminent men—by an equally eminent man, to PRAC- TICE. The Slocum System is fully explained and exemplified in a new pamphlet just off the press, which should be read by every thinking person.
