FOR WOMEN
Much That Every Woman
Desires to Know
!
About Sanative Antisep
tic Cleansing
And About Curing Ulcerative
Pains and Weaknesses.
Too much stress cannot be placed on
the great value of f 'uticura Soap, Oint
ment and Pills in the antiseptic cleans
ing of the mucous surfaceg and of
the blood and circulating fluids, thue
affording pure, sweet and economical
local and constitutional treatment for
weakeuiug discharges, ulcerations, in
flammations, itehings, irritations, relax
ations, displacements, pains and irregu
larities peculiar to females. Hence the
Cuticura remedies have a wonderful
influence in restoring health, strength
and beauty to weary women, who
have been prematurely aged and in
valided by these distressing ailments,
as well as such sympathetic afflictions as
anaemia, chlorosis, hysteria, nervous
ness and debility.
Women from the very first have fully
appreciated the purity and sweetness
the power to afford immediate relief'
the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy which have made the Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills the standard
skin cures and humour remedies of the
civilized world.
Millions of the world's best people
use Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura
Ointment, for preserving, purifying
and beautifying the skin, for cleansing
the scalp of crusts, scales and dandruff,
and the stopping of falling hair, for
Softening, whitening and soothing red,
rough and sore hands, in the form of
baths for annoying irritations, inflam
mations and ulcerative weaknesses, and
for many sanative, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves, as
well as for all the purposes of the
toilet, bath and nursery.

l'n' n Ciarlotte. N. C.
In connection with the above a com
munication from employes of the city,
members of the Federal Labor Union
was read by Clerk Etheridge in which
they took the position that the city
council should take no notice of the
petition of the Central Labor Union.
After some discussion the matter was
left with the Street Committee in order
that this committee might investigate
and report back to the next meeting
of the board.
The managers of St. Peter's Home
and Hospital presented the following:
"To the Honorable Board of Aldermen
of the City of Charlotte:
"The undersigned, managers of St.
Peter's Hospital, respectfully ask that
West Sixth street, from Church to Gra
ham, may be put into passable condi
tion, especially from Poplar to Pine
streets and that the line of sidewalk
and curb may be marked along the
hospital lot. In 1S06 or 1S97. when tlie
city graded the hospital lot to its pres
ent level, the managers offered to give
six feet for a sidewalk off the lot all
along their Sixth street line, provided
the city would mark the line, and put
the street in order. This was promised
by the then mayor and street commit
tee, and repeated year after year by
successive officials, but nothing has
ever been done. Now. February, 1903.
the street is really impassable, and is
a disgrace to the city.
"Now, too. the hospital desires to
put a fence along Sixth street and
wishes to have its lin? marked. For
these reasons we earnestly ask that ac
tion may be taken in regard to Sixth
street as soon as possible.

A similar petition from the managers
of the Good Samaritan Hospital was
also pr?sented. It reads as follows:
"Good Samaritan Hospital. Charlotte,
N. C. Feb. 2Sth. 1!03.
"To the Honorable Board of Aldermen
of the City of Charlotte:
"The undersigned, managers of the
Good Samaritan Hospital, on West
Hill street, respectfully represent that
there is no sewer near enough to the
hospital for connection to be made
with it. Consequently all refuse has to
be put in barrels, and carried away by
the city carts, which is inconvenient
and 'expensive. The water from baths,
washtubs. kitchen and operating room
has to be discharged through a pipe on
to the lower part of the hospital lot.
This is evidently unsanitary and disa
greeable. Until the city is prepared to
build a regular sewer in that vicinity
with which the hospital may beconnect
ed.we ask that thecomniittee on sewers
may be requested to have a pipe laid
through the hospital lot. and clown the
little branch beyond it. to some point
outside the city limits, where such a
discharge will not be dangerous or of
fensive to any one. We also respectful
ly ask that West Hill street, in front
of the hospital, may be properly drain
ed and guttered. An old spring exists
near there, and at all times, except
the very driest weather, the gutter is a
regular quagmire. This is a nuisance
to all the residents near there, and we
earnestly request that it may be
abated.

The trustees of Carnegie Library in
formed the board that it was the desire
of the trustees to purchase more
ground on the west side of the library
building and it was the desire of the
trustees to have a conference with the
financ? committee with this in view. It
was unanimously agreed that the
trustees be granted such a conference.
As has been stated in The News. Mr.
Vinton Liddell has made the city a
proposition in regard to the sale of a
ior he owns that adjoins the library
building. This let is the one the. trus
tees are considering.
As to the union passenger d?pot that
has been talked of. Mayor Brown read
the following letter:
North Carolina Corporation Commis
sion, Raleigh, Feb. 2U. 1903.
Hon. P. M. Brown. Mavor, Charlotte,
N. C:
"Dar Sir: Referring to the petition
of the citizens of Charlotte, asking
that the railroad companies be requir
ed to build a union passenger station
in your city,
"I am directed by the commission to
advise you that the amendment of the
act, giving the commission authority to
require the erection of a union passen
ger station, has passed both houses in
the Legislature.
"I am directed to ask if you desire a
day set for the hearing of this matter;
and. if so, do you desire the hearing to
be in Charlotte. Upon receipt of your
reply, if hearing is desired, a day will
be fixed.
"Very Respectfully,
"H. C. BROWN, Clerk."
In connection with the above Mayor
Brown stated for the benefit of tire
board that Col. A. B. Andrews, first
vice president of the Southern, had
stated that he would shortly visit
Charlotte and would consider with the
aldermen, the proposed union passen
ger station. Until this conference is
held, it was thought best to let the
matter rest.
The following resolution offered by
Alderman Wearn, met with the unani
mous approval of the board:
"Resolved: That the action of the
Mayor is endorsed in sending the city
attorney to Raleigh to protest against
the proposed taking a portion of the
school fund away from the city schoqis
for rural school houses, etc.
"The city and county are pledged to
raise $4,000 for the rural schools of
Mecklenburg county. The general
board of education is now pledged to
give a like amount. The sum of $376.47
has already been subscribed for that
purpose, 75 per cent, by the citizens of
Charlotte. The graded, schools have al-

ready had to reduce their teaching
force on account of lack of funds; and
any further taking from the fund going
to the graded schools will seriously
cripple them.
'Resolved, second. That a copy of
these resolutions be sent to the Sena
tors from this district and Representa
tives from this county, requesting tnem
to exempt Mecklenburg county from
the provisions of this. proposed act. as
the board of education of Mecklenburg
county and the board of education of
the city are now working in perfect
harmony.
In regard to the undergrade crossing
the board held to its original proposi
tionthat the Seaboard Air Line make
the crossing tiO feet wide. The matter
came before the board by a motion
made by Alderman Wearn. seconded
by Alderman Link. It was the unani
mous opinion of the board that the
subway be at least HO feet.
Alderman Phelen was of the opinion
that a number of trees on the side
walk? of the city should be felled. Al
derman Brockenbrough objected, and
as Alderman Phelan's motion did not
receive a second the matter was not
considered.
Alderman Robertson moved that the
committee in charge of Vance Park,
be authorized in behalf of the city to
petition the secretary of the ti-easury
to turn ever to the city, the land ad
joining Vance Park and fronting on
West Fourth street. This for the pur
pose of enlaiging the park grounds.
The motion was unanimously agreed
to. The aldermen from Ward 3 (insti
tute the park committee.
