THE BEST ADVERTBING MEDIUM IN THE CTY OF WASHNSTON r

be Washington Time: i NUMBER 3113. WASHINGTON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1902. PRICE ONE CENT. EXPECTS COAL TO REACH $20 A TON

Local Dealer Holds Large Quantity of Anthracite and Says That He Will Get His Price Before the Win ter Is Over. Formers of Syndicate for Importation of Coal Find It Can Be Delivered at Less Than the Prevailing Prices.

Local Committee Appeals to J. J. Edson for informa tion, the Possession of Which He Denies—Ad vises Rigid Economy. 5

The men who have taken the pre liminary steps in the formation of a sya dicate for the importation of coal have secured figures and samples of Scotch and Welsh coal, and are rapidly matur ing their plans, which will be made pub lic in the next few days.

They find that imported coal can be delivered in this city by January 20 at a price somewhat in advance of that charged for the Reading coal, but much cheaper than the prevailing prices of $8 and $10 a ton.

There is one dealer in the city who is lLiolding over a thousand toms for $20, and says that he will get it before the winter is over.

The first steps looking to such meas ures as may be necessary to protect the city against the suffering and death that severe weather is sure to bring were taken today by several members of the coal committee, who have remained im practical inactivity ever since they were appointed by th: District Commission ers 10 devise means for the relief of “he people.

It is the desire of those men directly interested that their names be tem porarily withheld. Their purpose is to immediately accomplish the importation of coal in sufficient quantities to bridge over the disasters of a coal famine. They will not antagonize the coal dealers, but will co-operate with them in affordiug relief. IDany

eof e part of the prig L] hat the o Mo e Doo coun As a preliminary measure they have prepared a letter in which they ask John Joy Edson, president of the Washing ton Loan and Trust Company, to disclose certain information as to where ‘“‘coal could be secured by anyone with brains and intelligence, in sufficient quantities to supply their wants at $7.25." If Mr. Edsor has this information at the pres ent time they call upon him in the in terest of humanity to afford assistance to the thousands of the city's populace who are unable to obtain fuel.

After calling attention to the large number of citizens of the Distriet who pre in moderate circumstances, who are not objects of charity and have never been, and to the poverty-stricken, who have difficulty in making both ends meet, the letter says that 90 per cent of them are unable to secure anthracite coal for less than $10 and $12 a ton, even with the money lo band to pay for it.

Text of Letter, Continuing, the letter reads:

“You stated at the last meeting of the commission appointed by the Com missioners of the District to investi gate the shortage of coal, in substance, that anyone with ‘brains and intelli gence enough’ could buy anthracite coal to supply their wats at not over $7.25 per ton in this city. Haviag full con fidence in your public spiritedness as a citizen of the District, we would humbly beseech you to indicate to us the methods, means, or instrumentality you would employ to immediately cause to be supplied to the class of people in

STRIKE COMMISSION BILL Each Commissioner, Not Official of Government, Will Roceive $4,000 a Year. The imminence of the holiday recess was manifest in the House today by the sparse attendance of members when Speaker Henderson called for order at noon.

The bill, a= amended in the Senate, and to which the House agrees, fixes the salaries of members of the commis sion, who are not officials of the Gov ernment, at $4,000 a year, fad allows the commission to fix those f its em ployes. It further provides $15 per diem as expenses for each member of the commission, and $12 for each employe.

PRESIDENT’S CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR OHIO VETERANS Signs Bill, Pending for Ten Years, to Grani. Mus‘er-Out. Before the sudden departure of the President for Rapidan, lowa, today, Representative Dick of Ohio called at tLe White House offices. He did not gee the President, but came away greatly pleased, at any rate, for the President had signed the long-pending bill correct ing the military record of the Ohlo First Light Artillery of .Cleveland. This famous ofvil war organization fought throughout the struggle but never had any recognized military status. It was never mustered Into the service and consequently never had any record of a muster-out. The members formed their organization two days after Fort Sumter was fired on and started at once for Kentucky, by way of Marietta and Columbus, Ohio. The mustering of ficer started after them, but they were so anxious to reach the front that they did not stop for any formalities. The musier-in was, therefore, never per formed. As the only record of the Ohio First Light Artillery wae that of invaders, the bill was introduced In Congress to give them the statue of regular troops. Ten years ago the effort was begun and today the bill was signed. General Dick is confident this favorable culmination of the long agitation by the Ohloans in terested as a most desirable Christmas gift from Congress and the President.

THE OUTLGCK ENCOURAGING Negotiations Believed in Progress for Purchase of the Jiland of Margarita. Naval Officers Sent to La Guaira. Germany and England have indicated to this government a desire to have President Roosevelt arbitrate the dif ferences between them and Venezuela, This was in response to a suggestion of! the President that the Venezuelan troubles be referred to The Hague tribunal. The outlook for peace is much more encouraging. It is tacitly admitied in official circles that negotiations are in progress looking to the acquisition by the United States of the Island of Margarita, now owned by Venezuela. There has been some intimation that Cermany was anxious to acquire this island, but was prevented from doing so by the Monroe Doctrine. If the United States gets nossession of Margarita, as now seems probable, it will be usea &s a naval station, and will be 2 most important strategical po sition to hold in West Indian waters, A nominal price will be paid for the island, but it wil] practically be a gift from Venezuela for the good offices of this country used in the present diffi. culties with European powers. The Navy Department this moraing received from Admiral Dewey a dis patch confirming the press news that Lieut. Marbury Johustone has been sent to La Guaira on the Albany to act as assistant to United States Minister Bowen, at Caracas, Venezuela.

Mr. Simmons’ views were elicited by a discussion following the reading of Henry Watterson’s editorial advocating a reconstruction of the Doctrine, He does not take issue with the Demoeratic editor on quesilons of party principles; in fact just the reyerse. He said: “1 have a profound respect for Mr. Watterson's opinion.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY BUON 10 ARMY AND NAVY Subject Discussed Before Geographic Society. SIGNAL CORPS IMPROVED Colonel Samuel Reber Tells of Its Work in Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines. That wireless telegraphy as a com mercial enterprise is likely to have but little value was the conclusion reached in an address by Col. Samuel Reber, of the Signal Corps, last evening, before the National Geographic Society, in the lecture room of the Cosmos Club. As a boon to the army and navy, he added, wireless telegraphy had shown its value, aad then proceeded to point out that the proper sphere for it is in communi cation between shore and ships at sea. Other addresses were made. Those who spoke were Gen. A. W. Greely, who briefly described the work of the Signal Corps; Capt. Edgar S. Russell, also of the Signal Corps, who read a paper on the recent maneuvers on Long Island Sound and Narragansett Bay, and Prof Willis Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau, whose talk was in line with that of Celonel Reber. Signal Corps Work.

Colonel Reber was introduced by Gen eral Greely, who, in a few preliminary remarks. described the work of the Sig nal Corps in Cuba, Porto Rico, China, the Philippines, and the West. He laid much stress on the fact that the corps had steadily improved, and attributed its success to the intelligence of the Amer jcan soldier. He also spoke of the ex cellent work of Colonel Reber and Cap tai» Russell Colonel Reber gaid in part: “During the combined maneuvers of the army and navy, tha. iook place along the coast of Rhode Island, during the early part of September last, a number of wireless stations were erected by the Signal Corps, and scout boats equipped with apparatus, using the De Forrest, Mar coni and Fessenden systems. The use of wireless telegraphy in these maneuvers demonstrated its value as an additional adjunct in the protection of our coast against surprise by an enemy's fleet. Two Years’ Experience. “The experience of the past two years has clearly shown that the proper sphere of wireless telegraphy is for communi cation between the shore and ship, and between ships at sea. Neither the cable system nor the land lines will be sup planted by wireless telegraph, “No results overland have been ob tained that can at present warrant its acceptance as a commercial means of transmission, While messages overland have been successfully exchanged up tc distances of fifty and sixty miles when ive atmospheric, local and thermal con ditions were favorable, that uninterrupt ed communication which is essential tc commercial success has not as yet been achieved. Wireless telegraphy is past the experimental stage, and is now in sa period of development the same 28 the telephone.” ILLINOIS COLLEGES CONTEMPLATE MERGER All But 10 Per Cent of the Necessary $300,000 Endowment Subscribed.

Thelfouly ad verse feature of the siiuation is the fact that supplies of fuel are utterly in adequate, both for household and manu facturing uses, snow increasing the de {lay of deliveries. The dignified and pacific attitude of this Government restored confidence re garding the Venezuelan situation, and no alarm was felt except in so far as our foreign trade may be interrupted. With easier money markets there has come a partial recovery in prices of securities, although the level is still very low as compared with September quotations. Railway Earnings. Railway earnings thus far reported for December exceed last vear's by 4.2 per cent. and those of 1900 by 10.4 per cent. Bank exchanges at New York for the week were 4.8 per cent. larger than a year ago and 6.1 per cent. in excess {of 1869, while at other leading cities there were gains of 10.9% and 16.9 per cent respectively. Two events of importance have occur red in relation to the leading minu facturing industry. The United States Steel Corporation has greatly extended its scope by absorbing many outside i plants and certain desirable rallway connections. Its facilities will be es pecially enlarged as to production of pig iron, which may render unneces. sary the erection of several new fur paces that had been projected. Advanced Freight Rates. The other interesting event was the announcement of advanced freizht rates to take effect January 1, showing an average increase of about 10 per cent on products of iron and steel. Jtherwise the situation is practically unchanged, the largest producer having over J, 280,000 tons of unfilled orders om its books, and work is being pushed as rapidly as supplies of fuel and .paterial will permit. Supplies of coke do not increase, and many furnaces are idie, Contracts for bridge work and track elevation are freely offered by the rail ways, and accepted only on condition that the exact date of delivery shall not be specified. Despite the fact that rail mills are sold close up to the end of next year, new business is offered, and urgent buyers gre compelled to go abroad. New Englard producers of boots and shoes are not seeking new business, which comes forward moderately in the form of supplementary orders. The bulk of spring contracts has been placed, and most factories are assured of steady operation until the end eof March, November Foreign Commerce. Full official returns of foreign com merce for the month of November do not make as favorable a showing as the pre vious month, or the same month in re cent preceding years. Imports were fully maintained, exceeding those of No vember, 1901, by $12,512,458, but there was a loss of $11,412 458 in exports, leay ing only a small increase in total for eign trade. The international trade bal ance in faver of this country fer the month was $359564,4i6 on merchandise account, compared with $62,880 322 last year, and $71,343,284 two years ago. The bulk of this difference is due as much [10 the expansion of imports as to the loss in shipment of farm products. At the port of New York exporis for the last week decreased about an equivalent of the preceding week's gain. Liabilities of commercial failures thus far reported for December were $4,115, 463, of which $1,189,372 were in maaufac turing, $2,442,798 in trading, and $482,242 in other commercial lines.

DECEMBER 20, 1902. 3 PROLONGATION OF LIFE THEORY DISCREDITED Scientists Claim That Loeb’s Experiments on Ma rine Animal Eggs Are Valueless. The claims of Dr. Loeb, ef Chicago, seem on the point of being exploded. Several years ago it was announced that he had solved the problem of the in definite prolongation of life, and even that of its artificial or chemical pro duction. There is now announced the result of experiments made by two other biolo gists, which, if sustained will force the world of science to witness another demonstration equal to that whereby Pasteur proved that the alieged spon taneous generation of life in labora tory test tubes wag simply due to the carelessness of the experimenters, who ‘had not properly sterilized their tubes, and thus aliowed any number of germs, and spores, and microbial forms to enter the respectacles and reproduce their kind in accordance with the invariable process of nature. The Loeb Claims. It will be remembered by the lay reader that in the November of 1899 it was announced on behalf of Prof. Loeb— ‘who, German-born, first held a chair at Bryn Mawr, and then was for eight years nila with the University—that this investigator, even now only forty-two years old, had been conducting a series of remarkably successful experiments on the eggs of sea urchins and low forms of animal life at Wood's Hole, Mass. In one journal the work was summed wp as follows: “That by chemical means he has suc ceeded in hatching the unfertilized eggs of marine animals. “That he has developed the larvae so batched into healthy animals, capable of exercising all the functions of normally developed animals. “That by a series of experiments he is led to believe this can be done with mamma fans, inciuding the human species.’ Startled the World. To be very brief and to aveid teshnicai terms in. may be said that there were two things Dr. Loeb claimed to have EXTENSIVE FORGERY OF NOTES IN CHICAGO Broker Under Arrest and a Former Partner Wanted by the Police. CHICAGO, Dee. 20.--More than $50. 000 worth of fraudulent notes purporting to be signed with the firm name of Wal ter E.

Among the victims is the Chicago Na tional Bank, which is said to have casiivd $1,59¢ worth of the paper. William 8S. Brown, a former member of the firm, which dissolved in* Phila delphia Nevember 18, is being sought for by detectives here and in New York, Stern, it ie said, helped negotiate a number of the notes after he had been warned that they were spurious. Charles Zeig, of New York, arrived here vesterday and swore out the war rants against Stern and Brown. Zeig represents W. E. Lindsay, and requested the police to make all efforts to lo cate Brown, SLAYER OF TORMENTORS NOT GUILTY OF MURDER ho Italian Organ Grinder, Who Killed Three Men, Acquitted. READING, Pa. Dec. 20.—The jury in the case of Antonio Taddai, a young italian organ grinder, charged with the murder of Edward Hartman, Samuel Stitzel, jand John Tracey, on the night of July 4, last, returned a verdict of not guilty yesterday. The verdict was re ceived with applause in the court room. The victims were young men of this city of bad reputation, who had followed Taddai and his partner and asszulted ond robbed them. In self-defense the Italian picked them out of a crowd while playing in front of a hotel and fatally shot all three. RECEIVES DIPLOMATS.

J. 26 John Streat, N. Va 1: i i i demonstrated. One was that the life of the egzs of the sea-urchin could be pro longed by adding certain chemicals, not ably potassium cyanide—a virulent pois on—to the solution in which the eggs were placed. The secondi—and the claim which startled the world of science and has given Dr. Loeb a peculiar fame—was his statement that he could substitute an artificial for the natural generation— that is, that bv adding certain chemicals to sea water containing the unfertilized egis of the sea-urchin he could vitalize them so that they would develcp after their kind in the course of nature. “It seems,” said Dr. Loeb in an inter view in “MeClure’'s” for last March, “it seems paradoxieal that life may thus be maintained by a powerful poison; but if, as say, we can see a specific morial process which may be held in check, and regard the po.assium cyanide as sub stitutinz a condition of suspended ac tion, the matter seems clear.” Now, again, to avoid technicalities, the two experimenters, Gorham and Tower, gave found that, while Prof. Loeb was able to prolong the life in his sea-urchin eggs, as he claims, for four days by the ‘action of potassium cyanide, they dis covercd that absolutely sterile sea-water —without any poisonous salt in.it at all -would prolong the life for eleven ‘days and longer, and they consequently concluded that Prof. Loeb was entirely wrong in his deductions. Acts as Germicide. Potassium cyanide, they say, is not a beneficial agent, not a prolonger of life, but really prejudicial to life. The so called favorable results which Dr. Loeb obtained were therefore—in the opinion of these later and more careful investi Lm simply to the fact that the cyanide is a germicide and it killed the bacteria in water which prey on the eggs before it killed the sea-urchin eggs, and hence gave them a seemingly greater chance for life than when the eggs were left in sea-water alone and died after two days. Now that one claim of Prof. Loeh has been disposed of, it is felt in certain selentific quarters that the wo-called marvelous artificial birth will prove to j= an equally false and careless dedic tion.

GRAVEYARD BATTLE OF THIEF AND POLICEMAN Representative of Law and Order Charges and Captures the Enemy. CHICAGO, Dec. 20.—With tombstones as breastworks, Policeman Patrick Brown, of the Hyde Park station, and an allezed robber fought an exciting re volver battle. They dodged from path to path in’ Oakwood Cemetery, firing at each other at every opportunity. When the policeman was convinced that his opponent had emptied his re volver he dashed from cover and ar rested Martin Coleman, who was iocked up on a charge of robbing the saloon of James Casey. Coleman had a companion, who es caned before the battle in the cemetery began.

After a protracted debate yesterday which lasted nearly the entire day and occupied a good portion of the session on Thursday, the House late yesterday afternoon passed the pure food bill. The final vote was 72 to 21. As the bill now stands it inhibits the introduction into any State or Terri tory, or the District of Columbia, or from any foreign ccuntry, or to ship to any foreign country a article of food or drug which is adulterated or mis branded. It also inhikits the shipping or receiving or delivering ot any food so adulterated in any of the regions named. The bill requires that all animals used for foed shail be slaughtered. The clcsing section provides that any article of food or drug that is misbranded, within the meaning of the measure, and is trans ported or is being transuorted shall be liable to confiscation, by a process or libel, for condemnation In the United States courts, Several amendments were offered yes terday afternoon. Mr. Gardner of Mas sachusetts presented one providing that “dried fish preserved by suitable pre servatjve substances employed as a sur face application shall not be deemed adulterated in the meaning of this act.” Mr. Maon of Illinois supported this amendment, which was opposed by Mr. Hepburn, who was in charge of the measure, The amendment was finally voted down. As reported to the House by the Com mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com merce, the bill provided tnat “‘nothing in this act shall be construed to inter fere with legislation now in force, en acted either by Congress for the District of Columbia, or by the' Territorial legis latures for the several Territories, regu lating commerce in adulterated foods or within the District of Columbia and the several Territories.” This provision was stricken out on mo tien of Mr. Underwood of Alabama after some debate. The effect of this amend ment, should the bill become a law, will be to wipe out the existing pure food legislation in the District of Columbia and the Territories and to substitute the provisions of the bill.

CHICAGO, Dec, 20.—A new move by the street railway companies of Chicago to avoid the renewal of their franchises and to overcome the twenty-year limita tien is reported to be on foot. The proposition said to contemplate a gi gantic merg. vr of all the street railway lines of the city by lease or otherwise and to operate them under the protect ing privileges of the Chicago General Railway Company's charter, which still has forty years to run. That such a move was being consid ered came as a surprise to the members of the city administration. It was brought to light in connection with a iegal ominion on the subject by John N. Jewett, an attorney and one of the best known authorities on railway corpora tion matters. This opinion was secured by some of the heavy owners of railway shares, who are said to have become nervous at the delay in regard to franchise renewals. Other lawyers of high standing are said to have coincided with the opinion of Mr. Jewett that renewal of the fraa chises was not absolutely necessary. When a Postal Wiil Bring You a Way to Get Well. My Restorative strengthens the inside nerves. For a lifetime I have studied to perfect a way to bring back the nerve power, which alone makes the vital organs act. When an organ is weak we know that itz nerve power is weak. It is like a weak engine—it needs more steam When we restore that nerve power, t organ does its duty, and the cure is permanent. To doctor the organ is useless. The best results are but tempor ary, and that is why common treaiments fail. My Restorative cures the cause, and when the cure is complete the sick ome is well all over. Won't you write a postal to iearn about a remedy like that? Simply state which book is wanted, and address Dr. Shoop, Box 766, Racine, Wis. Hear

mm Kidnes s PROFPP RSE 0 Don’t Stay Sick You who stay sick and don’t write me—1I address this to you. While you are waiting I am curing thousands just like you. They simply write me a postal, then I do this: I mail the sick one my book, and with it an order on his druggist for six bottles Dr. Shoop’'s Restorative. He takes it for a manth at my risk. If it surceeds, the cost is $5.50. If it tails, I pay the drug gist myself. Ani the sick one’s mere word decides it. I am ready to do that with you. My book will tell you how I cure these troubles, and it tells you so clearly that you will know that I am right. If you then wish to test the remedy, your druggist will supply it on trial. If it succeeds, vou are well. If it fails, It is {ree. h Two facts make this offer possible. One is that pecple in gen eral are honest. The other is that I have learned how to cure. In the past 12 years I have supplied my Restorative on trial to over half a million sick ones, and 39 out of each 40 have paid for the treatment gladly, because they were cured. I have willingly paid for the rest.

Mild cases, not chronic, are often cured by ome or two bottles, Dr. Shoop's Restorative is sold by all druggists. THINKS REMOVAL OF “LOVE AND LIFE" WISE That Is, Mrs. Smith Says, if Objectionable. The following letter, anent the recent talk over President Roosevelt's action in ordering the famous picture, “Love and Life.” returned to the White House, explains itself: To the Editor of The Times: I wish to correct the impression that any buzz of disapproval has arisen from the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, of this city, over the removal of any picture from the Corcoran Gallery of Art to the White House. None of us had heard of the removal until we saw it the papers that we vere “ex ercised” over it. City reporters have traversed many streets. and rung many bells, trying to find me and secure by “opinion.” I am nov ready to give you an opiaion, aud do =o ficely, and it is of the more valus for mover having before appeared in print, It is that if there is anything wrong about the picture it is a good thing to remove it from public gaze to ‘he more retired apartment, where it will meet only the eyes of cultured people, whose tastes are already formed. MRS. CLINTON SMITH, President of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of the District of Columbia.

Mr. Smith is extremely well versed in all matters pertaining steam enginecring, and is taking much interest in ihe suggested movomeant to re-establish tne engineer corps in the navy. The thorough accord of the views of Secretary Moody with those expressed by the President when the latter was Assistant Secretary of the Navy, is ex pressed in Secretary Moody's following statement: “Among the most important lessons learned in the war with Spain was that a modern navy cannot be improvised during a war or upon the threshold of a war. Much money was then expended in the purchase of ships. Many of them served useful auxiliary purposes, but it may well be doubted whether they added ‘materially to the fighting efficiency of our fleet. The time best suited to the development and perfection of our navy is the time when there is neither war ‘nor threat of war. Happily the present is such a time, and it permits a dis ‘passionate congideration of the future. “The country approves, with hardly a dissenting voice, the policy of strength ening our power upon the sea.

IMMIGRANTS BARRED OUT. Sad and Pathetic Scenes at the Ellis Island Station. ~ernibner's Magazine, However, there were several rejec tions. There was the old woman who had come with her daughter and her daughter's children. The daughter's husband had sent the money on from America, and they had been rarely hap Pr that morning. Three more days and they would be on the great steamship, and then'!'—it was but a short trip to America then! But the oq woman had a disease of the eyes. Did she not know? Know? And how should she know? Sick Tess 6f the eyes! She touched them ‘with her fingers. Her eyes? She had Seen Lo sew with them all her life.

They may have been brother and sister, they may have been be trothed—certainly they cared for each other, and now they were to part, There was another, a man of middle age, who sat over in the corner, ag far away as he could ger, with his bundles and boxes about him. When the door of that room should be thrown open and the gate of the control station wun lecked, he would go back and live out his Ife in a train to take him back to Russia. He was a strong one, wha keg earned his passage money himself, but now the years of saving were gone to: naught, He would go back and live out his life in bard Russia, not in be ati. ful America. Why had somebody not told him and spared him the extra toil” What for now were the nights and days of pleasure he had put aside? He looked about him. Dry as the old woman's eyes were his own hopeless eves, hut him there was not even the prattle of a little child to lead to am hour's forget fulness.

MATTERS OF INTEREST IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Delehanty Does Not Fear the American League. Jeffries and Fitzsimmons Touring Country.

“Plunger” Delehanty, the Washington outfielder who signed with McGraw's Giants, yesterday gave out the follow ing: “I have no reason to fear the American League, and 1 have been assured by McGraw that Col. John I. Rogers will not enjoin me from playing with a Na tional League club other than Philadel phia. That is all cut and drie”. “While I hate to cut loose frem so good a fellow as Tom Loftus, I am anxious to help New York heat out the Pittsburg and Cincinnati Clubs for the pennant in 1903. Supposirg IT am en joined from playing, my salary goes on just the same at $8,000 per year, so I am hooked up pretty well.” to ras The big left fielder further said that should he find an idle summer on his hands through the work of American League politicians he would turn to the turf and campaign with a small string in the West. Jesse Burkett has signed a two years’ contract to play with the St. Louis American League club at a salary of £5,000 a year. Burkett will return to the New York Nationa! League club the check for $3,000, advanced him several weeks ago by Manager McGraw, as an inducement to jump from the American. Fitzsimmons and Jeffries seem likely to make big money cn their boxing tour. So far they have drawn large houses. At Seattle the theater in which they per formed was crowded. For an hour be fore the curtain went up a long line of men extended clear from the theater down Cherry Street to Second Avenue. They fought and jostled for a place in the line.

Florrie Barnett was the announcer of the evening. He introduced Bob first. Seattle greeted him vociferously. The champion next crawled through the ropes and was given an ovation.

The men then went to it for four rounds. Their work was remarkably fast. During the exhibition the crowd could not help commenting on the re cent battle between these giants in "Frisco. Bob looked like a pigmy beside “is big opponent, The big fellows are now on the tour Of the world. Last night was the fourth performance of their present trip, and each time they have played to the “ca pacity.” They go from Seattle to New York, stopping only at the principal cities. From Gotham they set sail for London. eventually reaching Australia and from there to ‘Frisco. y A George Bothner is wbrking harder for his match with Tom Jenkins at the Grand Central ‘Palace next Monday than ever before. Although Jenkins is to try CLARKE GRIFFITH TO HANDLE GOTHAM TEAM Tom Loftus to Remain in Charge of the Senators for Another Season. It has been semi-officially announced that Clarke Griffith, for *wo years man ager of the Chicago American League Club, will be the leader of the New York American team next season. Charlie Comiskey, owner of the Windy City Club, has consented somewhat re luctantly to allow his star twirler to take charge of the Gotham team. Com iskey is to take active charge of the White Sox. Comiskey says: “I suppose it will seem a trifle strange to me to resume work on the bench, but I guess it wiil not take me long to break in.” His returning to the bench is only a remote possibility, but he has the stuff in him, and will do anything he can to aid the Johnson organization. This has been shown by his willingness to sacrifice Griffith. Tom Loftus was first mentioned as the man who would handle the American Giants, but President Fred Postal would not hear any such talk. He knew that i.oftus has a host of friends in this city, and also knew that the local base ball enthusiasts appreciated what he had done for baseball here, and declared that the Americans would have to hunt a little further than Washington to get a man to take charge of the Gotham aggregation. Postal insisted Chat Loftus remain here, and the latter promised Postal that he would not accept the New York presidency. ANNUAL SALE 10000 000 BOXES _ Greatest in theWorld

Rather than have one of the betting suits against the Brighton Beach Racing Association brought to trial yesterday plaintiff’s counsel! consented to a dis 'missal of the case. Peter De Lacey, of poolroom notoriety, is generally believed to be the instigator of the litigation. The case came from the first district municipal court, Justice Penfield of Bronx Borough sitting in place of Justice Finn. The plaintiff, William Mausell, said to be an employe of De Lacey. sought by the action to recover money alleged to ‘have been losfby betting on races at the Brighton Beach track. He was repre [sented by Benjamin Steinhardt, whil= ‘Lewis Gilbert, with whom Mausell said in his complaint that the wagers had been laid, was represented by De Lancey Ni coll and John D. Lindsay. Captain Her bert Barry and Mr. Hyde, of the law firm of Mayer Hyde, appeared as counsel for the Brighton Beach Association. Counsel for the defendants reported ready for trial, but Mr. Steinhardt said that he was not prepared to go on. He had, he said, arranged with De Laney Nicoll to try one of the other cases first. Mr. Nicoll indignantly denied that he had entered into any such arrangement with Mr. Steinhardt. Justice Penfield held that as the jury had been summoned to attend and that as all the witnesses subpoenaed by both sides were present no valid reason ex isted why the case should not go on, and he ordered the cause to be heard. Mr. Steinhardt insisted that he was not ready. and said that rather than have the case proceed he would consent to a dis missal of the action. Justice Penfield promptly entered a de cree dismissing the suit, and the plaintiff and his witnesses withdrew crestfa'len.

UNGLE SAN'S POSTAL GLERKS HARD AT WORK Tonsof Christmas Gifts Pass ing Through Local Office. The Christmas trials of the postal em ploye are on in full plast The outgoing mails are burdened with Christmas joy for friends and loved ones in distant parts of the country, and the incoming mail is equally as heavy. In the past week thousands of packages have been dispatched from Washington. The mail of last night, however, was by far the largest of the season, and the postal clerks worked until early this morning *»-fore they succeeded in get ting the precious packages assorted and placed in the mail bags for transmis sion. Bach year the American shopper be comes more lavish in making Christmas purchases, and each year Rrows more careless in preparing the gift for mail ing. Thousands of gifts break through the package and the busy mail clerk must take time to tie it up before the contents are lost from the box or wrap per and broken or ruined. Carelessness in addressing packages causes the clerks to lose much time in deciphering the address or anticipating the wish of a sender who failed to write &ll the ad dress on the package. For the increased Christmas business at the office, additional clerks assist the mail and postal clerks, so the malls can be dispatched with litile or no delay. Major James E. Bell, superintendent of city delivery, has detailed a number of exira mail carriers for the city service, and tons of Christmas presents will be distributed by them over the territory covered from the postoffice in this city. The stamp clerks are kept busy from morning until 11 o'clock at night weigh ing packages and selling stamps. Until after 10 o'clock last night there was a Jong line of people anxiously waiting to reach the stamp windows and have their packages weighed and sent on their way. Some of the packages disriayed were bulky enough to be sent by freight, while others were ‘fished’ out of vest pockets. So much confidence have the American people in the efficiency of the Postoflice Department they risk diamonds and other valuable jewelry to the mailbag without even registering the package. Beside those who trust valuable pack ‘ages to the mail, there are those who are fearful their gifts will be lost and register every package they send. nc matter if it is no more than a hani kerchief. Senders of Christmas packages are not the most troubiesome of holiday patrons the posteffice employes say. They insist §t is the class of expectant recipienis of presents, who think the mail is so slow and the postal clerk so inefficient. Every day and oftentimes a dozen times a day. persons anticipating instantaneous trans: mission by mail insist their present must have been overlooked by the clerk an swering their request for mail For its size, Washington has a large Christmas mail business than any othe city. This is due to the great number o Government attaches, members of Con gress and Government clerks, who re ceive their presents here. Of the thous ands of presents sent through the mails but few ever reach the dead letter office If the address is indistinct or illegible there generally can be found some clu to get the package back to the sender fo re-mailing. Beginning with Monday and until af. ter New Year, there will be no rest fo ihe thousands of postal employes ove the country, and yet if they were to res there would be millions unhappy, for there is scarcely a man, woman, or chile who does not receive some token of re membrance from some distant friend an: there is not a one who does not send som loved one a kindly remembrance of the happy Yuletide. Y MC. A MEETING. Charles Inglis, of London, England, will make the address to men at the meeting of the Y. M. C, A. tomorrow afternoon.

Pura stor, 620 GIVIL WAR VETERAN REFUSES A PENSION Savs Government Is Paving Too Much Already. One soldier of the civil war, bent nearly double with disease contracted iz the line of duty, has refused to take advantage of a pension of $12 a month granied him by ‘he Government. He is John A. Dailey, of Topeka. Kan, and his reasons for not accepting the money after making application for the penssion, and securing it, constitute one of the most curious cases ever be fcre the Pension Bureau. Some time ago Mr. Dailey filed his pa pers for a pension, and after a full ex amination, it was found that he was en titled to receive it. The matter was passed upon in the usual way, and the pensioner was officially informed of his good fortune. By return mail Mr. Dailey informed the bureau that he did not de sire to take the money, and had taken out papers to establish his rightful identity as a soldier of the Fourteenth Indiana Infantry. He said that this fact had been questioned, and he wanted it proven in the most effectual way by an official appeal to the records of the Pension Office. With the fact that he was deserving of the bounty of the Gov ernment, he was content, and he refus ed to take a cent of what was due him Commissioner Ware was much sur prised upon the receipt of Mr. Dailey’s letter announcing this determination, and came to the concluston that the man was of unsound mind. Accordingly an examiner was sent to Topeka to in vestigate the case, and report to the Commissioner. The pensioner was found to be an old man, and ill with disease contracted in the war. He was, how ever. seen to be all right mentally, and said that he had taken the action de scribed to stop the mouths of certain people, who doubted the statement that he had served honorably in the Union Army. He declared that he did not need the money, and that he shouid not re ceive it from the Government, which was paying out many millions of dollars an. nually in pensions already. The examiner returned to Washington and made his report. and then arose the question of what the department shouls do under the circumstances. Commis sioner Ware for a time doubted his au thority to revoke the pension or to al low the money to be retained in the Treasury. it was finally decided tha the Commissioner had jurisdiction in thi matter and the pension was revoked a the request of Mr. Dailey. In case Mr. Dailey should change hi: mind and conclude at a later time t« take advantage of the monthly payvmen from the Treasury, he can make appli cation and receive it, though Commis. sioner Ware says that his refusal to ac cept it now would preclude his ever re celving the accumulated pension mone; provided for by law. The Inspector of Buildings has for warded to the District Commissioners a proposal of the Pauly Jail Building Company to make certain changes in the floors of cell galleries of the rear wing of the new workhouse for males. He recommends that the same be accepted.

NOT DUE TO CLIMATE. Catarrh is at home anywhere and everywhere. While more common in cold, changeable climates, it is by no means contined to them, but is preva Jent in every Stgte and Territory in the Union, The common definition of catarrh is a chronic cold in the head, which if long neglected often destroys the sense of smell and hearing; but there are many other forms of the disease, even more obstinate and dangerous. Catarrh of the throat and bronchial tubes as well as catarrh of the stomach and liver are almost as common as nasal catarrh and generally more difficult to cure, re W MEN'S Catarrh is undoubtedly a blood dis ease and can only be successfully eradi cated by an internal treatment. Sprays, washes and powders are useless as far as reaching the real seat of the disease is concerned. W pits WuND W VER. Dr. Mclverney advises catarrh suffer ers to use a new preparation, sold by druggists, called Stuart's Catarrh Tab jets, because actual analysis has shown these tablets to contain certain anti. ‘septic qualities of the highest value and ‘being an internal remedy, pleasant tc the taste, convenient and harmless, car be used as freely as required, as well for ‘children as for adults. W COATS. Ws An attorney and public speaker, whe ‘had been a catarrh sufferer for years, says: “Every fall 1 would catch a cold which would settle in my head and throat and hang on all winter long and every win. ter it seemed to get a little worse, was continually clearing my throat anc my voice became affected to such an ex tent as to interfere with my public speaking. “I tried troches and cheap cough cures und sometimes got relief, but only for short time, until this winter when learned of the new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, through a newspaper advertisement. Two H0-cent boxes whic I bought at my druggist's, cleared m) head and throat in fine shape and tc guard against a return of my old trou. ble I keep a box of ‘the tablets on hand and whenever I catch a little cold 1 take a tablet or two and ward off any serious developments.” Stuart's Catarrh Tablets deserves to head the list as a househcid remedy. tc check and break up coughs and colds, because unlike many other catarrh and cough cures these tablets contain no opi ate, cocaine or any injurious drug.

The return of Eugene Peters to this city in March, 1899, and the attempt then made to have him declared insane, is recalled by the proceedings instituted yesterday in the Supreme Court of the District by his aunt, Mrs. Hannah H. Parsell, of New York, to have the mar riage contract entered into by him with Clara Louise Mackey declared void and illegal. The ground on which it is asked that the marriage be set aside is that Eu gene Peters wag not of sound mind when he entered into the contract, and also that he was induced to do so by fraud and force. Mr. Peter is now in an asylum for the insane near Baltimore, Md. Mrs. Parsell says in her petition that Peters was conspired against by his private secretary, William E. Seitz, and a gam bler named Walsh, at Hot Springs, Ark. who, taking advantage of his troubled mental condition, induced him to marry Clara Louise Mackey at Malvern on Feb ruary 13, 18¢9. Soon after this Peters and his wife left Hot Springs for New Orleans, La. They were there but a short time when it is said Walsh put iu an appearance. It was also said by Peters that an effort was made to have him committe to an asylum in New Orleans. When he learned of this scheme he left thai city immediately for Washington. He was in a state of great excitement whes he arrived here, and was tagen inte custody by the police soon after his ar rival. At the First police station, it i: said. Peters lighted a cigar with a hun. dred dollar bili, which he first ignited from a gas jet. Inquiry as to Peters’ mental condition was made in the local courts at thai time. The proceedings occupied the at tention of the court for several days and resulted in Peters being declared competent to take care of himself aud his property. Several months afterward Peters’ san. ity was again made a subject of judi. cial inquiry, And it was decided that he was not competent to manage his busi. ness affairs, and a committee was nam ed to take charge of his estate. Mr. Peters is a nephew of the lat Norris Peters, and it is said that hi personal estate is worth between $350, Ohkf and 166 GOOG The District Commissioners have di rected, on recommendation of the Super intendent of Police, that the sum of $20, received at Headquarters, shall be dis posed of by placing 20 per cent of the same to the credit of the clothing and helmet fund, and that the balance be paid to Private George W. Neale for the arrest of John Robinson, a deserted from the United States Army.
