vigor.
“The county commissioners do not re-
alize,” said Mir. Featherstone, “what trou-
ble and- expense we have been put to sim-
ply to get ready. O’Connoir & Smoot would
do nothing for us, and we ’have had to
spend. $6000 on preliminary work, although
we knew that it was throwing half of the
money away to do what we -were doing.
One of the piers we expected to use at
Bolivar was washed away. We had to-
build another with uncr eosoted piling, just
to save time. Our material is now arriving
and we will go- along -without hitch, I be-
lieve.”
Mr. Featherstone added that he had
ooime to an understanding with O’Connor
& Smoot, .and everything was serene in
that direction now.
“How about Engineer Corner’s trip?”
the reporter inquired.
“Mr. Corner has been over the road and
he is very well pleased, with it,” Mr.
Featherstone replied.

SHORT MEASURES.
Arrested But Released Because of No
Statute—Laws Ample.
There are four or dive fruit and vege-
table peddlers who haye be£n robbing the
people of the city by means’of short meas-
ures. Many complaints have been made.
This morning Policeman Ben Mapcovich
captured one of the iellows in Market
street between 25th and 26th streets. The
peddler had what was supposed to be a
peck measure. The gneasure had been
cut down, about an inch and one-half, the
wood that had been taken off having been
used to make a band around the upper
part of what remained of the measure.
Really, the measure, cut down as it was,
would contain only about seven quarts in-
stead of eight.
Marcovich arrested the peddler, but he
says County Attorney May told him there
was no law in this state and nothing in
the city ordinances under which the man
could be held. Marcovich thereupon
turned the peddler loose.
As there has been a law in force in the
United States for more than 100 years
covering the matter of false weights
and measures it is likely that some of the
government officials w-ill take action in
the matter.
For the information of Galveston law of-
ficers it may be stated that chapter 5330
to 5332, under title of Weights and Meas-
ures, revised civil statutes of Texas, and
article 572 to 574, title 14, chapter 5, of
the Texas penal code, cover such cases.

UP TO DATE IDEAS.
Ikelheimer & Co. Re-Arranging Their
Sales and Display Rooms.
The past 12 months has been remarkable
among other things for the number of im-
provements made in the retail establish-
ments of Galveston, in the way of acces-
sories for the better display of goods, the
beautifying of store rooms and in added
conveniences for customers and employes.
It has not been such a great while since
Messr^. Ikelheimer. & Co. made extensive
improvements in their store, adding a
plate glass front and other up to date
features. They are again increasing their
facilities for handling business by putting
in extra shelving, and an up-to-date de-
partment for ladies’ ready made gar-
ments.

Pension Bureau Administered to the Sat-
isfaction of Old Soldiers.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 12.—A pleasant
incident, out of the usual routine, took
place in the pension bureau today when a
delegation from G. A. R. posts 88 and 41
of Allegheny City and Pittsburg, Pa.,
presented resolutions to Commissioner
Murphy for his humane adminis^ation
of the pension bureau. The presentation
speech was made by Representative Wm.
A. Stone of Pennsylvania, who paid a
warm tribute to Commissioner Murphy
and declared for the first time in the his-
tory of the bureau all soldiers are satis-
fied with its administration.
Dolphin Slipped Past Admiral
Bunce’s Fleet of Warships.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 12.—The block-
ade runners at Charleston have scored
first blood, and in spite of all preparations
made by Admiral Bunce to detect any at-
tempt to pass the long line of ships he
had out across the entrance to the har-
bor, the Dolphin—not by any means a
fast boat nor as invisible as a regular
blockade runner—slipped quietly around
one end of the line on the Sth instant, and
when the department next heard of her
she was at the bar off St. Johns river,
Fla.
Secretary Herbert expects to leave here
on the 17th for Charleston to see for him-
self how the blockade progresses and
probably he will have some distinguished
company with him.

The complete data sought for, however,
was obtained from 931 establishments.
These 931 establishments employed 64,560
persons in 1895 and 108,648 in 1896. Ofi this
number in the first period, 26,479 were
males, 18 years old or over, as against
43,195 in the, second, and 4175 males under
18 years of age as against 7540 in the sec-
ond. In th© first period 27,163 were fe-
males, 18 years of. age or over, and 6743
females under 18 years of age, as against
45,182 and 12,751 respectively in the present
period.
The main reason given for the employ-
ment of women and girls usually is that
they are better adapted for work at which
they are employed. Other reasons are
that they are more reliable, more easily
controlled, cheaper, more temperate, more
neater, more rapid,
less liable to strike,
learn more rapidly, etc.
The department is now investigating the
effects of machinery upon labor and the
cost of production, compilation of wage
statistics in leading countries of the world,
investigation of the liquor problem and its
economic aspects, inquiry in collaboration
with state labor bureaus concerning the
municipal ownership of gas, water and
electric plants, investigation concerning
the economic conditions of Italians in Chi-
cago and preliminary investigation in the
economic progress of negroes in this
country.
