Many a strong, well-built man leaves home to-day, before night he will have a chill, and in s few hours he will be dead! ‘This ts the way the dreaded pneamonis takes people off. The list of notable men who are its victims is: Dr. Damrosch, the famous musician, is selsed by © ebtil while conducting rehearsal; next day his phy- ‘cians tell us he Is pore WELL Next day he is ‘The Rey, J.

Everyone dreads this prevalent disorder. Its com- ing is sudden, its termination usually speedy, ‘What causes the terrible scourge? Itisnot “in the air,”—Infectious or contagious. It Tesults from exposure, changes of weather, prevails ‘more among men than women, more among the ap- Parently healthy than among the feeble. ‘Poeumonia, we are told, is invited by @ certain con- ition of the aystem, indicated If one has oocasional chills and fevers, a tendency to colds in the throat and Jungs, rheumatic and neuralgic pains, extreme tired feelings, short breath and plearitic stitches in the Side, loss of appetite, backache, nervous unrest, soald- ing sensations, or scant and discolored fulde, heart flutterings, sour stomach, distressed look, puffy eye sacs, hot and dry. akin, loss of strength and virility. ‘These indications may not appear together, they may come, disappear and reappear for years, the person Not realizing that they are nature's warnings of a com- ing calamity. In other words, if pneumonia does not claim as @ victim the persons having such symptoms, some less pronounced but more fatal malady certainly wil A celebrated New York physician told the Tribune & year ago that pneumonia was a secondary disorder, ‘the exposure and cold being simply the agent whi -h develops the disease, already dormant in the system, because the kidneys have been but partially doing their duty. Inshort, pneumonia ts but an early in- dication of @ bright’s diseased condition. ‘This {m- Paired action may exist for years without the patient ‘suspecting It, because no pain will be felt in the kld- heysor thelr vicinity, and often it can be detected only by chemical and microscopical examinations. Nearly 150 of the 740 deaths in New York city the first week in March and in six weeks 781 deaths Were caused by pneumonia! ‘The disease is very obstinate, and {f the accom- Panying kidney disorder is very far advanced, re- covery Is imposaible, for the kidneys give out entirely, and the patient is literally suffocatod by water, ‘The only safeguard against pneumonia is to main- tain a vigorous condition of the system, and thus pre- ‘ent its attacks, by using whatever will radically and effectually restore full vitality to the kidneys, for if they are not sound, pneumonia cannot be prevented. For this purpose, there is nothing equal to Warner's safe cure, a remedy known to millions, used probably by hundreds of thousands and commended as = standard specific wherever known and used. It does not pretend to cure an attack of pneumonia, but it does and can remove the cause of aud prevent that Gisease if taken in time. No reasonable man can doubt this if he regards the personal experience of thousands of honorable men worthy his ravor.

Tn many instances, indeed, per- sons are reported 5 dying of pneumonia, ‘heart disease, apoplexy “uid convulsions, when the real cause of death and so known by the physician is this kidney consumption. Thousands of people have it without knowing {t and perish of it because thelr physicians will not tell them the facts!

SUAKIM, March 23.—The guards at an early our this 4m. were sent out to the zereba, eres- yesterda; m. MeNeill, to render suc! ‘aesiStance as 7 it be needed. After the battle of yesterday Gen. McNelll was left unmolested. ‘He was found to be well entrenched in the zere- ba, which 1s situated about seven miles south southwest of Buakim. The guards were sent back by Gen. McNeill for water and provisions, ‘They succeeded in making the return Journey without being molested. A force of infantry and cavalry, with supplies of water and pro- visions for the zereba, escorted dy & convoy of the guards, was at ones dispatched to Gen. Mo- Neill. ‘The total British losses during Sunday's bat- He, Were five officers and 51 privates killed, and 170 men wounded. The Arabs, It is esti: mated, lost 1,500 men. In the rush made by Osman Digna’s men they broke through one corner of the zéreba. The British recovered promptly, and Killed every Arab who had got hind the lines. A number of heavy guns have been landed by the seamen and wiil be at once forwarded to the front. A general advance towards Tamat will be made to-night by Gen. Graham. During this advance Suakim will be garrisoned by sailors. The zereba constructed by Gen. McNeill will have tobe shifted because of the intolerable effects of the rapid decomposition of the hun- dreds of bodies of slain Arabs lying close around. Later.—Official accounts place the losses of the Arabs in yesterday's fight at 1,000, all told. If this figure Is correct the losses of the enemy exceeded those of the British less than in any battle of the past three years, A DECISIVE BATTLE EXPECTED TO-MORROW. Osman Digna has 25,000 men at Tamal. Gen, Graham, it is expecind, will reach Tamai and’ give Osman Digna battle to-morrow.

Two explosions in the quartermaster general's office originated the conflagration. The first explo ‘sion, dull in its sound, was caused by the heat- ed and confined air of’ the room. It blew the celling off, and started the fire in the room of the clerk fn chancery directly above.

THE SECOND ASSISTANT POSTSASTER GENERAI- ‘SHIP. In political circles today the opinion is that the appointment of Gov. McLane, of Maryland, mini r to France imterposes a bar to ex- Qongressman Talbott's chances to be Second Assistant Postmaster General. The prevailing opinion is that as Maryland has been given the place of appointment clerk of the Treasury and he high honor of a first-class thatstate is not likely to receive any additional honor at resent. e belief to-day is that Mr. Bell, of Missouri, will be appointed Second Assistant Postmaster General. Missouri, one of = na by staunchest democratic states of Union, not received an intment Rog? any tonal character, and as Mr. Bell is the entire delegation of the state his friends ex- pect his appointment.

Ex-Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, as well as ex-Senator McDonald, it Is stated, has been offered and has deciined a foreign mission, Vice President Hendricks, it is said, hasbeen beaten in the fight over the post office at In- dianapolis, as It has been decided to appoint J. W. Creelman, the candidate of ‘Congressman Bynum, Senator Gorman and Mr. Carroll. WHAT IS SAID TO HAVE CAUSED THE BAD FEELING BETWEEN THEM. In connection with the appointment of Gov. McLane as minister toFrance there is a story tola tw the effect that the trouble be- tween Lee Carroll and Senator Gorman, which resulted in the Carroll-Higgins letter, grew out of this mission. It ts sald that Carroll vorked pretty hard with Gorman during the mpaign to get Gorman Into the cabinet, ing In view the senatorship that would bé thus vacated. Bat Gorman preferred to stay where he was, and said he would not accept a cabinet ea Carroll is said then to have asked the Senator to support him for the French mission, but Gorman bad to decline to do so, as hé had already pledged himself to support Mc- Lane,” whom’ it is said he wanted to get out of his way in the Senatorial contest aj proaching, This, it is said, placed a wide reach between Carroll and Gorman, and had much to do with the fight made on Higgins.

To the Faltor of THe EVENING STAR: In the painstaking defense of the public schools of the District of Columbia, by Mr, Trustee Lovejoy, it 1s stated that “our pupils cost about $18 per capita.a year.” I haveoften met this method of expression, viz., per capita, before, and not infrequently in compositions by persons who ought to know better. It is a little surprising that an intelligent and cultivated gentleman like the zealous school trustee afore- mentioned should follow bad examples, noma ter how numerous. Let us put the above quoted sentence in plain English all through and it will read, “Our pupils cost about $18 by heads a year." Now it is meant to say that each Dis- trict ‘pupil costs about $18 a year, and, as it is resumed that no pupil has more than one Bead, tt follows thal “per caput” and not ‘per capita” Js the proper § about so much a year we say “per annum,” and not the plural “per annos.” As the error re- ferred to has had 8 very longand uninterrupted Tun it would seem to be about time to hazard A Connection, — ‘The Senate’s Carefully Kept Secrets. ‘THE SENATE PUTS AN EXTRA DOORKEEPER ON magnitude, shall no longer continue.
