We could not lay a pin between the sores on his face and neck, and he was a sight to look at. Two doctors attended him for three weeks, without success, when I heard of Cuticura. I got a box of Cuticura Soap, and a box of Cuticura Ointment, I only applied them three days, when I could see his face was better, and in four weeks he was cured. His face is as clear as a bell, and not a mark on it.

She has apartments cupled by Moore. Moore recently pre- sented his flancee with a handsome tailor- made gown, which the commander de- clares is the pattern of the “Union Mis- sion Army’ uniform, “Everything is perfectly straight and square,” said Moore. “I am no book- keeper, but I can show where all the | money goes. We give beds to six or seven men every night and supply ten or fifteen meals each day. The money I have in bank was mine before I opened this great work and is not, In any sense, the property of the Union Mission Army I sell tickets to the merchants and re- deem them here with beds or meals and it all takes money. I see that there was | a big surplus in December, but January may be light.” Moore admitted that he had engaged Mrs. Hill during this month and that she brings in several dollars a day, besides goods. Last night six men slept at the shelter and most of them had tickets for which the merchants had paid. Tt i aid that if the Volunteers or the Salvation Army had Moore’s income they would shelter and feed an average of thirty men | all the time. Moore shelters six and aver- ages three to five meals a day. There is also much evidence to show that in many instances men really destitute are turned away unless they have a ticket or a dime. Around the corner from the shelter, on Eighth street, is the Mission Hall, where Moore holds 'meetings nightly. A few nights ago Moore had his afflanced cook with her little child at the street meet- ing. One of the child’s relatives attempt- ed to carry away the child by force and the police were called In to restore peace in_the family. The commander, should he ever have any army outside of himself, intends to dictate the love affairs of his officers, for this question is included in the following questions submitted to applicant “Do you agree, whether in charge of a post or serving under a superfor officer, not to keep company with a lady friend in the post at which you are stationea without first consulting the commander in | chief? | "1t you obtain permission to keep com- | pany with a lady friend. do you agree to ten months before marry- walit least | ing?” | *I am not anxious for notoriety,” said Moore. “I do not seek it.

RIS Sl NO CLEW IN MORGUE RECORDS il HAD LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY WHEN LAST SEEN. ot A strange disappearance story was re- ported to the Morgue officials by Detective Dillon last night. It concerns the where- abouts of Sergeant Charles O. Taylor, formerly of Company D, Seventeenth United States Infantry, whose home and family are at present in Columbus, Ohio. Sergeant Taylor returned from Marila on the transport Newport on October 10 of last year. He was immediately taken to the Presidio hospital, where he re- mained until December 4. On the latter date he was discharged and had in his possession about $200. The last time he was seen in this cit& was on the same date, at the corner of Market and O'Farrcll streets, when he parted company with an- other soldier, Charles Vitberger, On the same afterncon he wrote a letter to his wife, and since then nothing has been heard of him. Chief of Police Tyler of Columbus com- municated the facts of the case to the police authorities of this city, and made a request that every possible effort be made to locate the man. He stated that Taylor had been well connected and known in Columbus, and that his wife is near to death at the present time owing to the peculiar circumstances surround- ing the absence of her husband. The Chief also supplied a number of clippings from the Eastern press, showing that tne case has attracted a great deal of atten- tion east of the Mississippl. Detective Dillon was detailed on the case and for the past three days has been searching the city for some clew that might lead to a solution of the sergeant's fate. He visited various lodging-houses and finally went to the Morgue to ascer- tain if the man had met a violent death, The detective discovered that Taylor had expressed an intentlon of buying a new watch, Jewelry stores and pawnshops were visited, but so far as at present known he never made the purchase.
