DRIVER'S LEG BROKEN.
Frank Ellin Thrown From Delivery

Frank Ellis a fiflecn-year-old boy
was thrown from the delivery wagon
of the Cowan grocery at noon near the
Katy depot and suffered the fracture
of both bones of the right leg midway
bet ween the knee and ankle lie had
delivered some article at the depot
and while returning to the wagon the
horse started and the boy -jumped in
at the back end and tried to stop
him. He cot hold of one line but was
jolted out with the seat and his limb
caught in the wheel. The wounded
lad was carried to the otllce of I)rs
Portlier & ISagby and the limb reduc-
ed and the bones set. Dr. Louis ISagby

GIRLS FROM PORTO RICO.
Native Maiuens Leave Their Island
Home to Work in the
United States.
There was a Bad but plucky contin-
gent of I'orto Itlcan girls on board the
Sau Juan as she steamed out of the
harbor last night bound1 fur New Or-
leans from where they will proceed
to St. Louis to begin an Independent
struggle for their livelihood. Their
families and friends were as visibly
affected. The enterprising and fearless
girls the oldest perhaps not' over l'J
years old numbered 2'i says a recent
issue of the San Juan News.
Contracts have been made with them
by Francis Lynch the representative
of the St. Louis Cordage company to
give employment to the girls in their
factories as weavers or in any other
branch of the trade for which the girb
may show particular aptitude. The
company ban bound itself to pay for
their passage from their respective
homes In the Islard to St. Louis. In
that city they will be lodged in com-
fortable and modern quarters and pro-
vided with table board and other nec-
essaries. Ia addition la this! they will
be paid GO rents a day which wlil be
Increased as the girJs become more ex-
pert or enter another department In
the factory. The firm did not place
any stipulated time In their contracts
except as to guarantee them work for
as long period as they wished to re-.
main. f.
The oompany has not however pro-
vided against the whims or change of
mind of any of the girls. If any one
finds after being there a Short time
that she cannot stay she has the priv-
ilege of resig-nlne her position. The
company has no hold on her whatso-
ever. The purpose of securing Porto
Rlcan labor Is due to a certain confi-
dence that the people of this island
have a natural fitness for this kind of
work.
The venture Is wholly exprrimenfal
but If It proves satisfactory more peo-
ple will be taken to &L Louis .

archipelago by the United States is due
a large part of the increased activity or

transport business that swells this com-

' At a result of request for information
from all over the country the census of-
fice has Issued a bulletin on "Negroes In
the United States" containing statistics
with regard to the extent character and
condition of the negro population In the
several states of the union. The sum-
mary of results giyen In the bulletin is in
part as follows:
"The number of negroes' Id the Unit-
ed States (including Alaska Hawaii
and Porto Rico) Is 9200.000 perhaps a
larger number than is found In any oth-
er country ouside of Africa. Nearly
nine-tenths of the negroes in continental
United States are found In the southvn
states. The largest cumber of negroe
living in compact masses are found In
certain urban counties several of which
lie outside of the great cotton growing
states. The four each having over 75.-
000 are the District of Columbia; Shel-
by county Tenn. containing Memphis;
Baltimore City Md.. and Orleans par-
ish. La. coextensive with New Orleans.
"The district in which the proportion
of negroes Is greatest lies in the Missis-
sippi alluvial refdon along both tanks
of the lower Mississippi where five-
eighths of the population is negro ihe
maximum being in Issaquena county
Miss. with more than 15 negro s to
each while person. The center of the
negro population is in DeKalb county.
Ala. about four miles from the east-
ern boundary of Gforpia and So miles
south of the southern boundary of Ten-
nessee. "In the country districts as a whole
the nrpro males outnumber the negru
females sliehtly and in the cities the fe-
males outnumber the males decidedly
This disassoeiation of the sexes between
city and country is far more marked
among negroes than among whites and
has increased since 1S90.
"Among negroes 41.5 per cent are Il-
literate. The percentage of Illiteracy
has decreased rapidly since 1S90 when
it was 67.1 per cent. Illiteracy among
negroes Is about seven times as common
as among whites and this ratio between
the races has not altered materially in
the last ten years. Illiteracy among
southern negroes Is about four times
that among southern whites. If the per
cent of illiterates should fall In each
succpedir.g ten years by as great an
amount as it did between 1S90 and 1900.
an improbable assumption. It would
reach zero.about 1940.
There was f. decided increase be-
tween 1?90 ard 13 in the proportion of
li iiirirgts among young negroes. This
in-.'iease of early manicges was yet
more- r.v-rkoj aniong fou'hern whites

ibe great pro.-i erity of the country Just
before 1S00.

CURED BYCUTIGURA
Had Given up All Hope of Ever
Making Any Cure.
" My little girl has been suffering for
two years or more from eczema and
during that time I could not get a
night's sleep as her ailment was very
severe.
" I had tried so many remedies and
spent much money deriving no bene-
fit I had absolutely given up all hope
of making any cure. But as a last re-
sort I was persuaded to try a set of the
Cuticura remedies and to my great
delight a marked change was mani-
fested from the first application. I
gave the child a bath with Cuticura
Soap using a soft piece of muslin cloth.
This I did twice a day each time fol-
lowing with the Cuticura Oiutmeut
and at the same time gave the Insol-
vent according to directions. One box
of the Ointment and two bottles of the
Resolvent together with the S.iap
effected a permanent cure. I submit
this for publication if you desire hop-
in" it will add to your success and assist
go'manv thousands of sufferers in cur-
ing themselves." Mas. I. B. JONES
Appinotos Ixd. T.
The first step in the treatment of the
chronic forms is to remove the scales
and crusts and soften the skin by
trarm baths with Cuticura Soap. The
scalp ears elbows hands ankles and
feet will require frequently a thorough
soaking in order to penetrate the thick-
ened skin and crusts wtth which these
parts are often covered. Dry care-
fully and apply Cuticura Ointment
niti rit unit where advisable
spread H on pieces of soft cloth and
bind in place. Take the Resolvent
pills or liquid in medium doses. Do
not use cold water ia bathing and
avoid cold raw winds.
