Established 1881. Cor. Strand A 22d St.
"Deed, Boss, I’se a ’spectable nigger,
and I ain’t never been befo’ you in dis
eoht,” pleaded an ancient Jamaica
negro charged with being drunk in a
public place.
It appeared that the old negr had
taken aboard a wee hit too much last
night and had waxed merry in the
taking. “Boss," he observed to Re-
corded Maclnerney, “you just call Of-
ficer Buckley; he and all dese here po-
licemen can tell you I’se a good nig-
ger."
“Well, Sam,” returned the bench,
will let you go under one consideration.
Are these officers under obligation to
you in any way?”
“No. sir, they is just friends of
mine." The old negro got no further
than^fye door on ms way home be-
forxes Espouse, who had been waiting
i"jC-'Frank" termination of the trial,
tstaubed him by the arm and led him
away home."
Several alleged violators of the
sewer and sanitary regulations were
tried. The greatest trouble that the
department has had is caused from de-
lay In the work of the plumbers and
failure to notify the sewer department
when they cannot do the work. The
riot act was read to all of the offend-
ers and they were told to accomplish
their work by a certain date or with-
draw their application. The following
ordinance regarding this feature of
work will be adhered/ to strictly In
the future, ruled Judge Maclnerney
this morning:
“Rule 48.—Whenever any application
shall have been filed with any plumber
authorized to receive same for the pur-
pose of making connection with the
waterworks or sewerage system in the
city of Galveston It shall be the duty
of such iplumher to construct! |Mic|
complete such connection without un-
reasonable delay and with, all possible
speed. Any master or employing
plumber who shall fail to make such
connection within a reasonable time
and all possible speed by reason of his
own neglect or by reason of the re-
quest or desire of the party for whom
such connection is to be made or who
Shall withdraw the application made
by him to do such work without the
permission of the board of commis-
sioners shall forfeit his license to do
any work in the city of Galveston for
the period of one year, and such li-
cense shall be revoked by the board
of commissioners of this city.”

CLEARING SITE
FOR HOSPITAL
The site of the meningitis tent camp
is now being cleared preparatory to
having the ground ready for the new
$15,000 contagious disease hospital
that will be erected upon it.
Today the health department gave
orders that all of the tents comprising
the camp should be torn down, and
stored in the city hall. Men com-
menced work of taking them down to-
day, and by night, all of the tents,
numbering six, together with the
small building called the annex, will
have been taken away.
This preparation will have the site
ready for operations; as it was given
out today, that when the board of re-
gents meets here the latter part of
this month or the first of next they
will look over and approve the plains
of the ward to be submitted them by
Dean W. S. Carter Of the State Med-
ical College.
