their pay before deciding upon the budget
for the new fiscal year. The pay of the
•policemen is $67 per month for patrolmen,
and ‘they are asking for an increase to $75
per month, which is the pay they received
before the storm of September, 1900.
The members of the police department
in their appeal for an advance say that
they cheerfully accepted a reduction in
pay after the storm and were willing to
ma,ke 'a sacrifice to help the city; that
they have no complaint to make of the
past, but in view of the fact that the city
has made remarkable progress under the
able management of the commission they
feel that they are now entitled to have
their pay restored to its original amount.
They isay the police of Galveston receive
less piay than those of any other large city
in the state.
The members of the fire department are
asking for an advance of $5 a month in
their pay. They say they are paid less
than any ether fire department in the
state1.
Inclement Weather and High Tides Inter-
fere With Sea Wall Work.
The strong southeast breeze prevailing
'during' the night and this morning kicked
up quite a sea in the gulf and in the bay,
and resulted in a rather high tide. It was
accompanied by almost incessant rain,
and both combined prevented any work
from being accomplished by the contract-
ors on the sea wall or the harbor dike on
the north side of the channel. It is hoped
that in the fullness of time the weather
.will so settle that Galveston will be fa-
vored with fair weather for at least three
’days in succession, which has not occurred
for a month past. ’

LIFE ABOARD
U.S. WARSHIP
The .coming
for the fleet
jackies on Admiral Higinson’s
there is one thing that a sailor loves better
than another it is to have a pair of dollars
to rub together in his pockets when he sets
foot ashore. The fleet has not been in an
American port for months and has been
hard at work in the maneuvers under Ad-
miral Dewey down at that forsaken hole,
Culebra, where a tropical sun. played the
cat and banjo with the energies of jack.
He will therefore be glad enough to set
foot ashore here, and the pay day will
make it all the pleasanter.
Our modern jack is not like his old-time
predecessor. He likes to see things ashore
and is by no means satisfied with what
he can see under the gaslight. As soon
as the admiral gives leave to shore parties
they will be seen exploring every nook and
cranny of the town where there is any-
thing of interest to be seen. Jack loves a
ride on a train as well as anybody, and
south Texas will have almost as good a
chance to see the sailor as the sailor will
have to see south Texas-.
In the old days a pay day for a great
fleet such as Admiral Higginson will bring
here would be worth half the town in dam-
ages. 'There would be rough houses galore
and smashed heads and bruised shins with-
out end. But Jack today is a more orderly
sort, and in truth there are no finer fel-
lows afloat than Uncle Sam’s sea fighters.
They are nearly all splendid American
youths, many of whom have grown up in
the service, and they know as well how to
take care of themselves ashore as afloat,
and there will be nothing to fear from
the fact that Jack will have his pockets
well lined when he steps ashore in his
natty uniform to cruise over the town.
The rendezvous of the fleet here is daily
taking on more importance. In addition to
carrying money to pay the fleet, the Prairie
will bring a lot of ammunition to take the
place of that expended in the maneuvers
around' Culebra. In fact it looks as if the
fleet would at least partially refit here.
The big battleship Maine, the latest ad-
dition to Admiral Higginson’s fleet, is noiw
on her way south and it is possible she
may be with the flag when the fleet puts
into Galveston. The Maine is now engaged
in a southern cruise to shake down her
machinery, and it may be that she will
either join the flag here or before the fleet
reaches Galveston. The Maine is the very
last word in the naval construction of this
country, and aside from the fact that she
is a most magnificent vessel and the larg-
est now in the United States navy, consid-
erable interest will attach to her through
the fact that she was built to take the
place of her ill-fated namesake which was
blown up in Havana harbor and which
ultimately brought on the war with Spain.

a month aboard one of these
leviathans and then, not explore half
recesses where lurks an interest for
landsman.
To give some idea of the life aboard a
man-of-war the following excerpt from
Commander Glea.ves’ splendid story of
•the. navy in February World’s Work is
taken:
At 5 o’clock or earlier, according to sea-
son, all hands are turned out. The ship’s
cook, who has been called much earlier,
has started the galley fires and prepared
the coffee. Ten minutes are allowed for
lashing up hammocks and stowing them,
and 20 more for coffee and a smoke. Then
comes “turn to.,” and the day’s work be-
gins before the sun has reached across
' the 'Skyline. The first thing is to scrub
down the decks and clean ship. Except
when the weather is too cold, every one
is required to dio this in bare feet. There
•are few things Jack loves better than
playing in water, and the splashing and
the holystoning go merrily on for an hour
oi- so, alternated with scrubbing clothes,
perhaps, or hammocks; then the clothes-
lines are triced up, the decks are washed
down and dried, -the rigging is hauled
taut, and the ship is tidied up for “colors”
at 8 o'clock.
In the old days the raising and lower-
ing o<f the flag was not regarded with the
form and ceremony that today mark it on
all ships, whether tug or battleship. At
five minutes before 8 the bugler sounds
the “first call,” and the quartermasters
■at once take their station by the flag and
jack. At one minute to 8 the orderly at
the cabin door reports to the officer of
the deck “Eight o'clock, sir;” the time is
then reported by him to the captain, who
replies “Make it so,” and then the bell is
struck, the bugle “sounds off,” every man
•stands at attention- on. deck fore and aft
and salutes as the flag touches the truck,
while the band on the quarterdeck plays
the national air. So ends- the morning
watch as the crew are piped to breakfast.
The new navy ration, for which Jack is
allowed 30 cents per day in addition to his
pay, Is as follows:
One pound and a quarter of salt or
smoked meat, with three ounces of dried
or six ounces of canned fruit, and three
gills of beans or pease, or twelve ounces
of flour; or one pound of preserved meat,
with three ounces of dried or six ounces
of canned fruit and twelves ounces of rice
or eight ounces of canned vegetables, or
four ounces of dessicated vegetables; to-
gether with one pound of biscuit, two
ounces of butter, four ounces of sugar, two
ounces of coffee or cocoa, or one-half
ounce of tea and one ounce of condensed
milk or evaporated cream; and a weekly
allowance of one-half pound of macaroni,
four ounces of cheese, four ounces of
tomatoes, one half-pint of vinegar, one-
half pint of pickles, one-half pint of mo-
lasseis, four ounces of salt, one-quarter
ounce of pepper, and one-half ounce of
dry mustard.
From breakfast until sunset, with the
exception of one hour Ln the middle of
the day for dinner, the greater part of the
time is spent In drill. At 9 o’clock the
orew fall in at the guns; and after a rigid
inspection of their uniforms and. their
general appearance the drills begin. These
consist principally of exercise with the
great guns, but much attention is also
given to pistclis, broadswords and infan-
try. The turret-gun drills are especially
Interesting. The accurate pointing of a
12-in ch gun under cover is an art at-
tained only by long and faithful practice,
and as the chief object of the ship is to
carry tbe gun, it is obvious why the
maxim of the navy today is “Drill, drill,
toujours drill.”

Cruiser Prairie Is Coming
$300,000 to Pay Men.
When Admiral Higginson lets go anchor
in Galveston harbor Feb. 18 he will find
such an assembly of patriotic Americans
waiting to give him a welcome as perhaps
he has never found heretofore in a south-
ern port. There have been as great fleets
in southern ports before, in fact the same
ships that will visit Galveston have been
a time or two in the harbor of Pensacola.
But then Pensacola has not the great big
state of Texas behind her. The welcome
which will await Admiral Higginson and
his ships -and his officers and his men
will not be .noisy. The Texas people are
not noisy, whatever may be said to the
contrary by the funny man. We have
not any great guns in which to burn pow-
der in saluting the flag as it flies from the
truck and droops over the stern of the
grim visaged fighters. But we have here
a, welcome of that dignified sort which
tho.se who have received It are willing to
wager is the most honest, the most
hearty, the most gratifying of any brand
of hospitality dispensed anywhere on
earth, and, Incidentally, we have a big lot
of it on tap not only for the fleet, but the
thousands of loyal Texans and others
who will be our guests at the time.
Unless all signs fail there will be a
great crowd heme during battleship week.
The railways are advertising the coming
of the fleet far and wide and have, more-
over, put in rates which will bring the
people. It doesn’t seem to make any
difference how many visits one pays to
a man-of-war. The charm always lingers
on the ship and the first visit only pre-
pares the . way for the. better enjoyment
of the visit to come when some other oc-
casion offers. Jack is never a dull boy to
the land lubber and his home afloat is so
full of interest after the first exploration
that desire lor the opportunity 'for a sec-
ond exploration is only whetted, never
satiated. There is so much of interest

TOMORROW EVENING
THE GALVESTON TRIBUNE: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1903.
It never rains but it pours, and it
poured In Galveston this morning. In a
figurative sense, J. Pluvius, esq., opened
wide llis rain valves and a good wetting,
or a bad one, a,® one cares to view it, of
all the people and things in Galveston
was the result. But Col. Bowie said it
■would rain today and those who did not
expect the downpour are to- be pitied. The.
deluge proper began at 8.35 this morning.
By 9.80 it had simmered to a drizzle, but
a W’orld of wa.ter fell during the hour of
downpour. From 7 a. m. to 9.15 a.
there was a total precipitation of
inches. Between 8.40 and 8.45 alone
amount of wetness let loose from
clouds war .48 of an Inch.
Running brooks were some of the streets
of Galveston, but not so was Tremont
street. The new storm drain carried off
the immense volume of water that was
drained into that thoroughfare just as
rapidly as it fell. In a comparative sense
Tremont was a dry street today, dry
north of Broadway anyway, and it was
not so wet as far south as M, to where
the drain runs.
The cause of the rain this morning was
a heretofore uncharted “low” that came
from over the gulf and was central over
this city during the heaviest part of the
downpour. The wind
east to1 northwest at
its course changed it
of 48 miles per hour.
The small boy was
not a few nickles and
by the train. He was at every crossing
where there was no policeman and soon
had his dry-feet crossings running in full
blast. One boy made a neat little sum
by operating such a crossing on 22d and
Market, and every one who attempted to
use his improvised bridge without first
agreeing to pay for the privilege found
himself precipitated into about 21 Inches
of water before he could make a landing.
The kid cared nothing for the impreca-
tions that were hurled at him, but he
gave practical demonstration that he was
hot after the coin.
The local weather men predict clearing
weather for this afternoon, followed by
fair weather tonight and tomorrow. It
will be considerably colder tonight and
the thermometer will drop to between 40
and 45 degreels. High northwesterly winds,
diminishing in velocity in time, will blow
•and the air promises to be crisp and brac-
ing. Just how long after tomorrow this

A meeting of the county commissioners’
court was held yesterday afternoon at
which all the members were present.
The most important matter . considered
was the proposition to’ deflect the1 course
of the sea wall so as to veer northeast
from a point on. 6th street near avenue A
or B, so as to protect the Santa Fe prop-
erty. During the discussion. Oom. Hender-
son stated that if this were done the Santa
Fe will fill in all its property west of the
wall and will provide right of way for the
breakwater without cost to the county
also that this will reinforce the protection
to the channel. It was further stated that
United States Engineer Riche has recom-
mended to the government that it pay the
additional expense of constructing the wall
from 6th street and avenue A or B north-
east to a connection with the government
jetty. A petition to move the projected
route of the sea wall on 6th street further
east was not granted-.
Action on bids for the construction of a
bridge across Sydnor’s bayou was deferred
after ®o®ae discussion.
The following officers reported collec-
tions for the county: Attorney Wheeler,
$58.67; Sheriff Thomas, $4'5; Judicial Dis-
trlot Clerk Simons, $70; Criminal District
Clerk Burney, $106.50; Consitable Moran,
$58.76; Justice of the Peace Barry, no col-
lection®.
All the reports were referred

agents, reported that they had realized
$1159 legs 6 per cent commission from the
sale of six houses situated on the sea wall

The following communication was read:
Galveston, Feb; 3.—Ool. D. B. Henderson,
County Commissioner, Galveston County,
City—Dear Sir: Referring to our conver-
sation this morning regarding sea wall
near 6 th street:
We wiH furnish the necessary right of
way over our east end property for the
sea wall east of 6th street northeast to
connection with the government work and
will fill in our property to the same height
as that of the present sea wall location.
Our reasons for favoring this change were
explained to you and I will be glad if
you will explain them to the commission.
An yother information that the commis-
sion may desire from us we will be glad
to furnish. Yours truly,
W. C. NIKON, General Manager.
Commissioner Henderson said: “The
Santa Fe will do the filling and give the
right of way, and we certainly ought to
do what we can to protect their property.
Capt. Riche expects the government to pay
the extra cost of building the wall from
6th street northeast to a connection with
the government jetty. I move that a com-
mittee be appointed, consisting of the
county judge, the sea wall engineer and
one or more commissioners, to- discuss the
matter and take it up with these gentle-
men and report to the court.”
Seconded by Oom. Dick and carried.
Judge Fisher appointed Oom. Henderson
to represent the county in the matter.

In its earlier stages catarrh is more of
a nuisance than a menace to the general
health, but sooner or later the disease ex-
tends to the throat, bronchial tubes and
even to the stomach and intestine®.
Catarrh is essentially a disease of the
mucous membrane, the local symptoms be-
ing a profuse discharge of mucous, stop-
page of the nostrils, irritation in throat,
causing coughing, sneezing, gagging and
frequent clearings of the throat and head.
The usual treatment by local douches,
snuffs, salves, etc., often gives temporary
relief, but anything like a cure can only
be obtained by a treatment which removes
the catarrhal taint from the blood and
the disappearance of the inflammation
from the mucous surfaces.
A new remedy which mets these require-
ments and which so far has been remark-
ably successful in curing catarrh is Stu-
art’s Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They can hard-
ly be called a secret patent medicine, as
they are composed of such valuable rem-
edies as Blood Root, Hydrastin, Red Gum
and similar cleansing antiseptics, which
cure by eliminating from the blood and
mucous surfaces the catarrhal poison.
Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets are large, pleas-
ont tasting lozenges.taken internally, al-
lowing them to • dissolve slowly in the
mouth; in this way they reach the throat,
fauces and the entire alimentary canal.
If desired, they may also be dissolved
in waiter and used as?a douche, in addition
to the internal use,r but it is not at all
necessary to use a douche; a few of them
dissolved in the .mouth daily will be suf-
ficient. However, when there is much
stoppage of the nose, a douche made from
these tablets will give immediate relief,
but the regular daily use internally of
these tablets will cure the whole catarrhal
trouble without resorting to the inconven-
ience of a douche.
Dr. Bement states “that the internal
treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking
the place of the old plan of douching and
local application, and further says that
probably the best and certainly the stHest
remedy at present <?n the market is Stu-
art’s OatAfrrn Tablets, as no secret is made
of their composition and all the really
efficient remedies for catarrh are contain-
ed in this tablet.”
Drugists sell Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets at
fifty cents for full sized packages. Ask
your druggist, and if he is hones! he will
tell you there is no safe?, more palatable;,
more efficient and convenient remedy on
. the market. . .. .
TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.
The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to the
subject. It is easier and better to prevent
than to cure. It has been fully demon-
strated that, pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men have
to contend with, can be prevented by the
use of chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a cold or
from an attack of influenza (grip), and
it has been observed that this remedy
counteracts any tendency of these dis-
eases toward pneumonia. This has been
fully proven in many thousands of cases
in which this remedy has been used during
the great prevalence of colds and grip irj
r^d«nt yearS, and'^h be rened upon with
implicit confidence. Pnoumonia often re-
sults from a slight cold when no danger is
apprehended until It is suddenly discov-
ered that there is fever and difficulty in
breathing and pains in the chest, then it
Is announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. Be on the safe side and take
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy as soon as
the cold is contracted. It always cures.
