Special Council Meeting.
There was a special meeting of the city
council this afternoon, presided over by
Mayor Scherftius, and the following alder*
men were present: Koessler, Hamilton,
F/eund, Meyer, Howe, Heiner, Relsner and
Pruett. .
Mayor Scherffius briefly stated that tue
meeting had been called for the purpose of
considering certain sanitary measures that
had been overlooked in the past.
Alderman Ileiner then offered an amend-
ment to an ordinance on the subject of
sanitation.
A suspension of the rules was moved
after the ordinance had been read that it
might be placed on its first reading. Hamil-
ton immediately moved to adjourn. Ileiner
withdrew his motion and Hamilton his by
agreement, the purpose of withdrawing
them being to appoint a board of health,
which had not in the past been done. The
following* names were then placed by the
various wards on the board: James Lawlor,
First ward; I)r. Larendon, Second ward;
Dr. D. F. Stuart, third ward; Georgo Funk,
Fourth ward; A. F. Sittig, Fifth ward.
The vote was taken by ballots and Reisner
and Freund wore appointed tellers, and the
board was unanimously elected.
HdPner then renewed his motion on the
adoption of the proposed sanitary ordi-
nance to suspend the rules. Freand moved
as a substitute that the ordinance take its
regular course. Meyer favored the ordl*
nance as a conservative measure in the in-
terest of health. Hamilton thought that it
would create unnecessary alarm to pass
such an ordinance. Freund discussed with
great indignation a matter that was not in
the ordinance, he misunderstanding it.
Heiner here moved to adjourn, but by re-
quest withdrew the motion. Pruott took a
very conservative view of It, and explained
that the ordinance was simply to give the
city some authority to do what was right.
Meyer favored the ordinance to insure prop-
er conduct on tho part of tho authorities.
Howe favored the ordinance.
A motion was made and carried to further
suspend the rules for another reading of
the ordinance. It was read. It was again
moved to further suspend the rules for an*
other reading. Hamilton moved as a sub*
•titute that it go over under the rules.
Fruett again spoka, advocating the pass-
age of the ordinance, because it gave ofli-
cers something to guide them in protecting
the public health. The vote on the suspen-
sion of the rules stood: Yeas—Koessler.
Heisner, Pruett. Nays — Hamilton aud
Freund.
The ordinance was then read a third
time.
It was then moved to adopt it and the
following vote resulted: Yeas: Koessler,
Flynn, Meyer, Howe, Heiner. Iieisner,
Pruett. Nays: Hamilton and Freund.
JMayor Scherffius here made a statement
concerning standing water on Commerce
and Franklin streets. Alderman Freund
drew up a resolution to drain the water
and get rid of it as a detriment to health.
The rules were suspended and the resolu*
tlon passed its second reading and was
adopted. The expense In eetting rid of the
nuisance is to be taxed upon the surrounds
ing property and work to be begun imme-
diately.
The ordinance on the subject of sanita-
tion, and prescribing methods for protect*
ing the general health of the city, covered
the question of removing persons with in-
fectious diseaseo to the city hospital.
It gave the authorities the right to do so,
where the person could not be properly
taken care of at home, or could not be kept
confined to a house so as not to en*
danger the public safety and health.
The ordinance was one that should
have b6eu in existence always, but by
oversight had never been adopted. Where
any question arises of taking persons to a
hospital for treatment it is to be decided by
a majority of the board of health, taking
all the facts into consideration. There
being no other business the council ad-
journed. •
In Good Shwpe.
The scare over the smallpox has about
died out and things are moving along very
serenely throughout the city. Nearly every-
body has been vaccinated and there were
only two new cases. Both were taken to
the hospital, where the best and most com-
fortable apartments are appropriated for
them. There are now twenty-six cases ail
told and they are In the hospital in
charge of the sisters under the direction of
Dr. Urwitz. The apartments are so com-
fortable that no objection can be raised to
going there. A telephone has been placed
there.fcand any information can be had
concerning patients. The cases are all
reported as being very light and readily
yielding to treatment.

Death from Hydrophobia.
Fort Worth, Tex., Dec. 29.—Twenty-two
printers in the employ of the Texas Print*
ing and Lithographing company threw
down their sticks this morning and talked
out of the place and their cases are still va-
cant. This walkout was the result of a dif-
ference of opinion between the company
and the men as to the number of hours
that a man should work for a given amount
of pay. The men are firm and say they will
fight it out on the nine hour-bill as long as
time lasts and the company say they will
st and by their colors and endeavor to keep
things going somohow or other.

ago. however, the young man was seized
with convulsions showing every symptom
of hydrophobia and continuod to grow
worse. It required the efforts of two strong
men to bold him in his bod, and as he was
held down he would snap his teeth, while
great flakes of froth would gather about his
mouth. Ho continued in this condition
until yesterday evening, sulloriug fearfully,
and then died.
ATTACKED BY JIEWSBOYS-
The City Circulator of a Dallas Taper Has
a Lively Experlenco.
Dallas, Tex., Dec., 29.—Quite a flurry of
excitemont was caused on Main street this
evening by a crowd of about thirty news-
boys following and throwing clods of earth
and various missiles which they could lay
hands on, at the city circulator of the
Times*Herald. who finally sought shelter
in Martinez' store and had the police arrest
as many of his assailants as they could get
hold of. Seven or eight wore arrested, while
a largo number got away. Tho bovs wero
on a strike. The paper announced that tho
price to them would bo raised from 2 to 2}£
cents per copy. They formed a union ac
once and agreed to tear up*.he papers which
any of the non-union boys, whom they
termed scabs, might buy and attempt to sell.
When the papor was issued a few of the
non-union boys bought their papers, but as
they started out they were pounced upon by
the strikers, who tore their papers up. The
city circulator attempted to go along as a
protection to one of the newsboys, when ho
was assaulted with the missiles. The ar-
rests stopped further violence towards
those who wanted to sell.

WHAT UNCLE JERRY RUSK THINKS
ABOUT IT.
He Believes the Farmers Desire m Modifi-
cation of the Tariff—A Kline at Mr.
Klalne's Reciprocity Scheme.
A. D. White's Opinion.
[Chicago News ]
In a symposium on tho farmers' move-
ment, which will appear in the Ametican
Agriculturist for January, the Hon. J. M.
Rusk of Wisconsin, the present secretary
of agriculture and member of tho cabinet,
makes the following remarkable declara-
tion concerning the tariff: "I believe that
the general expectation and desire of the
farmers of the country was for a revision
and modification of the tariff, in line, how-
ever, with the principle of protection.
They felt that iu many respects
the McKlnley law, while afford-
ing to agricultural productions more
recognition than had ever boen accorded
to them before, was a revision not in the
sense of a modification but of an increase
of protection." Secretary Rusk proceeds to
discuss reciprocity, and believes that the
most p.ofltable markets for our agricultu-
ral products will be found for many years
to come in European countries. He gets in
a little fling at Mr. Blaine's scheme by re*
marking iucidentally: "In some of the
South American countries the probability is
that the principle of reciprocity, owinir to
ihe character of their own agricultural pro-
ducts, would bo most likely to favor our
manufacturing rather than agricultural in-
terests."
patriotic principles.
Congressman Hatch of Missouri, ex1-
chairman of the house committee on agri-
culture, pitches into "tho system of national
legislation so inimical and detrimental to
the farmers' best interestj, which they have
tolerated and even encouraged for twenty-
five years." Ho regards the farmers' de*
mands as "so patriotic in principle, so
closely allied to tho broad fundamental
principles of tho founders of our govern-
ment, that the wonder is that they wero not
universally acceptod and promptly complied
with."
President Andrew D. White of Cornell
university ^ees in tho movement something
far deeper than the work of demagogues.
He says that "unquestionably the deepest
feeling iu it is that tho great rural and agri-
cultural population ha* been made to bear
an undue share of the burdens of society.
This simple statement is true; thero has
never been iu our country auy thoroughly
well considered system of taxation; all has
been haphazard." President White pro-
ceeds to point out how this and other abuses
can be eo remedied as to turn the tide again
from city to country, so as to cause a steady
and rapid progress of tho agricultural com-
munities.
spirit of tiie organization.
Lecturer Whitehead of the National
grange, the lecturer of tho northern Farm
ers' alliance,'Mr. Ashby of lowa and Dr. Mv
cune, who is credited with being the brains
of the southern Farmers' alliance, together
with President Powell of tho Farmers'
Political league, interpret the lesson of
the farmers' movoment in a way that
gives a clear insight into the spirit that
animates these organizations. Speaking
from the standpoint of a financier, a Wall
street banker sees "no oause for alarm
among capitalists at the present uprising
among farmers, because it necessarily im-
plies a large degree of education in financial
affairs." He thinks tho farmers'represen-
tatives will be slow to advocate government
ownership of railroads when they find such
a policy must bear enormously on tax«
payers.
moral enthusiasm.
According to Edward Bellamy, the fact
which "constitutes altogether the most sig-
nificant aspect of the farmers' uprising is
that it attacks the industrial, political, com-
mercial and social system on lines so radi-
cal as to bo revolutionary. This is the
characteristic which broadly distinguishes
it from any mere political overturn and
compels its recognition as a part of
the present world wide movoment of the
masses for a radical change in the indus-
trial system-a movement everywhere so
alarming to those vfbo do not understand
it, so inspiring to thoso who do." He pro-
ceeds to point out that it must inevitably
result in tho great national party of the peo-
ple, "which is destined in the near future to
establish a nobler and happier civiliza-
tion in this land." Mr. Bellamy is
alone among the contributors to this sym-
posium ip pointing out that "not since the
war has there been a political campaign
carried on with so much moral enthusiasm
as the alliance campaign just closed—or
more properly I may say just begun—for it
is tho sheerest nonsense to set down, as the
politicians would like to do, the farmers'
movement as a mere off year demonstra-
tion."

Patti Rosa in Her New Play, Imp.
If thero was any evidence needed to em-
phasize Patti Rosa's popularity with the
theatergoing element of Galveston's popu-
lation, it was amply manifested by the very
excellent audience that assembled at the
Tremont last night to see her in her new
play, entitled Imp, a three-act comedy writ-
ten by Ford Marsden and Clay M. Greene.
There is very little in the play itself. It
is extremely commonplace in plot
dealing with the same oi l story that is told
over and over at; a in in a! 1 soubrette plays,
the finding of an heiress in the backwoods,
rescuing her from the hands of villains and
restorinc her to rank and fortune, wnere
she carries with her all of ber hoydenish
prauks. which invariable shock the con-
ventionalities of well-bred society. The
treatment of the story is not even interest-
ing, and were it not that Miss
Rosa is surrounded on the whole
by a very clever company the
performance would fall of being entertaiu-
ing. Patti Rosa is, of course, the central
figure, around which interest concentrates,
and her incidental work, in which she is so
admlrabiy supported by .Mr. Geo. C. Boui-
face, Jr., and Harry W. Rich, gives a spice
to the entertainment that makes one lose
sight of the paucity of tl;e piny itself. Her
company is, in fact, veiy good in every
assign men: and as a goou company with a
poor play is much more acceptable than a
good play with a poor cctnpany. the Imp
with its present cast will doubtless be a
money maker, at least during the balance
of l he season.
A very pleasant little episode waa tagged
on to last night's performance, just before
tho close, in the way of t le presentation to
Miss iiosa, by her company, of a handsome
silver tea bet, the presentation being made
ou the stage, iu view oi tho audience, by
Air. Wm. N. Griffith, who demonstrated
his ability to do what very fetv actors
can, namely, speak iiner) that are
not set down for him in his part-
Miss Rosa said she was Uken by surprise,
aud she really appeared to be, but neverthe-
less she managed to return her thanks in a
very neat und appropriate acknowledg-
ment. Mr. William Calder, the manager of
the company, who was behind the scenes to
witness the presentation, was afterward
forced upon the stage and likewise made
tho recipient of a handsome testimo-
nial. It was a pleasing epilogue to a very
pleasing performance. Mutiueo at 2.30 to-
day. Margery Daw to-ni^'Ut.
