D Jt disappears —the worst forms of catarrh, with the use of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Rem- edy. It’s mild, soothing, cleansing and healing properties effect a per- fect and permanent cure, no matter how bad the case, or of how long standing. It’s a remedy that suc- ceeds where everything else has failed. Thousands of such cases ean be pointed out. That’s the reason its proprietors back their faith in it with money. They offer $500 reward for a case of catarrh which they carinot cure. It’s a medicine that allows them to take such a risk. Doesn’t common sense lead you to take such a medicine? “An advertising fake,” you say. Funny, isn’t it, how some people prefer sickness to health when the remedy is positive and the guaran- tee ten. Wise men don’t put money back of “ fakes.” _ And “faking” doesn’t pay. GOLD MEDAL, PARIS, 1878. W. BAKER & C0’S Breakfast No Chemicals are used in its preparation.

The second day of the District National Guard's sunual shoot wasa thorough success; more so, perhaps, than the first, because there was finer weather and a much larger attend- ‘ance. A large number of men had come to the conclusion that the very valuable and artistic medal donated by Tux Evexixo Star Comraxy was “just their size,” so they tramped down to the parracks range before 9 a.m. and shot as best they could. The result was announced in yesterday's Stan, but all the scores were not given. Here are the figures, including the 86, which, with the medal, belong to Maj. J. M. Pollard, inspector general of rifle practice: “STAR” MATCH SCORES: ss: 4 ee a RR 226 Maj Pollard. 19 21 24 22-86 ‘p.

But tke conclusion of Tae Star match did not br'ag the day's shooting toanend. There was a beief allowance of time for rest and re- freshment, and then the remainder of Friday's program was taken in hand, Maj. Pollard tem- Porarily relieving Ma}. O’Brien as range ofticer, the lutter having been called away by a busi- ness en: t. Precisely at 3 p.m. Maj. Pollard issued the command “commence firing,” and a respons- ive “bang” testified to the opening of the bat- talion mateb. This was similar to the bat- talion match of last year. Teams of five men from each battalion were entered to compete for Gen. Ordway’s annual prize—this year a silver-plated ice water pitcher and accompani- ments. Last year the prize was a handsome clock and it was won by the fifth battalion. ‘This year the same old fifth again walked away With the honors, to say nothing of the beauti- ful pitcher. There are not wanting thore who insinuate that the fifth will not know what to do with its trophy, but remarks of that descrip- tion are basely slanderous, The match was an interesting one, but it was far short of what it ought to have been. Two teams were missing. Lieut. Harries, inspector of rifle practice for the second battalion, had made all necessary arrangements for having ten of his best men on the ground—fio regulars and an equal number of alternates—but when time was called there were but three faithful ones pres- ent, the others, through inability or careless ness, persistently remaining away. Four members of the team from the first separate battalion (colored) were on the range; the fifth man and the team captain were as com- pistels, out of sight as though they bad been in brador. So instead of there being seven competing teams there were just five. FIGURES THAT LIE XoT. Each man of the five teams fired, with more oF less success, seven shots at the targets, which were just 200 yards away. ‘The light was ad- mirable, but there was a gusty wind down the range, which worried some of the marksmen considerabiv.

ANDREW. Mr. Benj. Miller, the delegate of the Christ Church chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew to the St Louis convention, has re- turned and night before last at the church his electors and their associates were treated to an interesting account of the work of the conven- tion. The ideas of many of the other delegates, as spoken in that meeting, Mr. Miller conveyed to his hearers, and witty’ sayings, having re- ligious backgronads, were indulged in, mueh to the amusement of all present. GOOD TEMPLAR INSTALLATION. Independent Lodge room was filled on last evening with a goodly number of temperance people. @ir. Thorn, lodge deputy of Washing- ton Lodge, installed the officers for the present term. Mr. Cox of Independent in a neat speech, presented the newly elected chief tem- t, W. H. Parsons, with a handsome gold adge, the gift of lady members. The gavel offered by the grand chief to the lodge initiat- ing the greatest number of candidates during the past quarter will be presented at the next mieeting. Much gratitication was expressed at the result of the work of the license committee in causing the rejection of so many applications for saloon license. Six delegates and alternates to the grand ludge were elected. TRAFFIC ON TRE CANAL. The following heavily loaded canal boats have arrived since the Ist of the month and others are daily expected: The T.8. Holbrook, Cooper, Dakotab, B. R. Mayfield, Little Rock, W. F. Creighton, W. 8.

G. & J. M. Waters and George T. Dunlop. The captains have now no difticulty at all in getting here, as the long grass in the bed of the canal, which at first obstructed the progress of the boats, has been cut away and more water turned in. At first boats could be only lightly loaded; that is, with not over 105 or 106 tons, now 114 and 116 tons can without trouble pass over the most shallow places encountered op atrip. Several smail steamers have been up the canal, and they did much toward removing weeds and grass. Eighty-five or eighty-six boats, many of them entirely new, now are kept busy plying between this place and Cum- berland. A number of new boats are in course of construction along the line. . 4 QUIET WEDDING. On Wednesday, November 4 the marriage of Miss Laura, daughte> of Mr. Basil De Lash- mutt, to Mr. Geo. McCaffray, the sheriff of Baltimore, took place at the residence of the bride's parents, Carroll Manor. Theceremony was performed by the Rev Father Gaffney. ‘The wedding was a quiet affair, only the near relatives and friends of the contracting par. ties being present. The bride looked hand- some in an imported costume of mauve cloth and camel hair. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs, MeCaffray left on an extensive northern trip, carrying with them the best wishes of a host of friends. On their return they will side in Baltimore. NOTES. A notice in a recent issue of Tae Stan men- tioning the accidental striking by the sexton in the Presbyterian graveyard of the coffin con- taining the remains of the wife of Hon. Robert R. Livingston, at one time chancellor of New York ahd United States minister to France, was seen by some of the descendants of the deceased and word has been received to take careful charge of them until the arrival of those in- terested. Mr. Frank Parkhurst, who for some months has been at Bridgeport, Conn., is visiting his parents at their home on Prospect avenue. Mr. Robert McMillhn of Stoddart street leaves on Monday for West Point. Dr. John Reid of Gay street has returned from his vacation trip to West Virginia. For some time the young people of the Dum- barton Street Church have been preparing a musical and literary treat for their friends, and last night at Linthicum Hall, before a large and very appreciative audience, they acted, played and sang their parts in a manner that reflected credit on all. On Tuesday, at the age, 3131 P street, the Indies of the West Street Presbyterian Church will hold a reception m honor of their minister, Rev. Frank E. Williams, and his bride, who have just returned from Chesapeake City, where the ceremony was performed. THE COURTS. Equirr Cotar—Judge Coz.

Gentlemen who have been in the habit of taking off their boots when they walk on the now rag carpet in the sittin’ room will find themselves amid sur- roundings, to them, quite orieftal when they take the oath to defend the Constitution and enter upon the duty st looking efter their “deestricts” and scheming for a renomination. Great preparations are being made for the reception of the statesmen at the Capitol, ‘The dust is being gotten ont of ail the dark corners, fresh paint is being put on fhe walle, which have been stained by the finger prints and the backs and elbows of constituents and lobh and new springs are being put in the cl snd sofas of the waiting rooms, which have deen wat out of shape by Indy callers, Brery- thing is being made to look fa pres] and clean. Even the base upon whieh the goddess stands on the dome has been given « coat of white paint. Workmen are after the tile foors with sernbbing brush and rag, the frescoed ceilings in the committee roams are being given a touch here and there and the furniture is all being made shiny with varnish. The carpets and upholstery in the Senate chamber have been finished, and they are reaay now to put in the mahogany desks and the stiff- backed and hard-bottomed chairs. This cham- ber is going to appear to Mr. Peffer as a dregm in terra cotta, old gold and crushed strawberry, and he will find the carpet as soft as the soil of an onion bed. It has long beep the custom to have the carpets for the Honse and Senate made to order of unique. designs, which the gontractors are not permitted fo duplicate. ‘The new carpet sclected for the Senate cham- ber this time is a jumble of small figures, with Veblen colors of old gold and crushed straw- rry. ‘There are 900 yards of it for the chamber and lobby and it cost $2.15 a yurd, » price lower than usual. TERRA COTTA NICHES. The niches which indent the walls all the way around above the galleries, which may some day be decorated with busts of statesmen, have been painted a delicate terra cotta to har- monize with the general effect of the carpet. ‘The diplomatic gallery, which is the most con- spicnous of the galleries and has heretofore been a glaring blue, has been upholstered in crushed strawberry. The rest of the gallery is upholstered in a nondescript color, approach- ing a soapstone gray with a shade of green in it. This harmonizes with the walls generally effect, when the rich old mabogany in, will be quite esthetic.

The eases was true of the furniture in the marble room,where Senators receive their particular friends and all ladies who call—if they see them at all. That furniture was in a particulasly bed state of dilapidation, for the lo by was active during the last Congre: All this has now been made like new ant be a tempting invitation to habits of indolence. THE VICE PRESIDENT'S ROOM. . Considerable attention has been paid to the Vice President's room, in which Mr. Morton will probably spend a great deal of bis time during the coming Congress. All the furniture has been reupholstered, the mirrors have been regilded and a new coat of varnish has been put on ail the mahogany in sight. In fact there is not a bit of furniture in that end of the Ca itol building that bas not beer either newly upholstered or varnished. It is an awful lot of work to repair the damage that two years of Congress will do to furniture. The Capitol looks like a junk shop at the close of a Con- gress. The cabinet maker starte in almost as soon as Congress adjourne to repairthe damage and he is usually rushed to get throngh and be ready for the first Monday in December. ‘The press gallery of the Senate has been en- larged and rearranged, 80 as to have the tele- graph instruments all'off in the lobby. New carpets are to be put thereaselsewhers. The executive clerks and the clerk of the Senate have been given a beautiful carpet to rest their eyes and feet upon during their coming days of toil, and to prove that. the western farmers are not forgotten a fine new carpet which cost $2.50 a yard has been put on the floor of Mr. Plumb's committec on public lands, where hé can sit with his feet on the table and receive delega- tions from Kansas. If they have no socks on this carpet will keep their feet from ting cold on the marble floors. Mr. James Donald Cameron while walking the floor of his commit- tee room will tramp upon about yards of beautiful blue rug. Gen. trend upon as many yards of terra cotta rug in the room of the committee on military. AN AWFUL LOT OF CARPET. It takes an awful lot of carpet to protect the feet of our statesmen from the cold of the handsome tile floors of the Capitol. Besides 900 yards necessary for the Senate chamber lobby it takes alpat » hundred yards on an average foreach @mmittee room. Six or eight of the Senate committee rooms have been furnished with new carpets this year. Prob- ably 2,000 yards have been used in ‘that wing of the building to replace carpets that have been worn out. Fourteen hundred yards of new carpet is being put down in the House, and with great judgment combination of red spa ‘brown has been selected, which, while quite rich, will defy tobacco stains. Probably 600 yards more have been used in other roofms on the House side, 90 that the American manu- facturers have supplied the Capitol with some 4,000 yards of carpet for the benefit of the Fifty-second Congress. IMPROVED VENTILATING ARRANGEMENT, An important work in the Senate chamber is the improvement of the ventilating arrange- ment. About the samé amount of overhauling of old furniture which has been necessary in the Senate has been going on in the House with somewhat less regard for msthetics and elegance. What is puzzling them over there is how the seats are to be divided between the two parties so that the small minority may be found all together when needed. The dividing line will probably be the second aisle on the republican side of the House,instead of the aisle which divided the House in two equal parts, = the minority will be grouped as well ible. ‘he Farmers’ Alliance members in the next Honse will feel like a man without a country since the sudden disappearance of thelr con- stituency at the recent elections. Before these lections occurred they were making plans for caucus to nominate a opeakership candidate of their own, bat there is some Pienaar now that such a caucus would not be very well attended. It is said that Mr. Livingston of Georgia, whom they spoke of as their candi- date for Speaker, will go into the democratic caucus. ‘Wales’ Courtesy to the Czar.

Miss Frances E. Willard, president of the National W.C.T.U., will preside. Among those who will add significance to the Great meeting will be Hannah Whitall Smith and Lady Henry Somerset, president of the British Women's Temperance Association, the successor of Mrs. Mary Bright Lucas, sister of the illustrious English statesman, John Bright, who visited this country four yearsagoand was most cordially received. On the 13th the National Woman's Christian Temperence Union will meet in Tremont Tem- pleand will continue until the 18th. | Preced- ig the main convention of the national body the executive committee, consisting of the five neral officers and the state, territorial and istrict of Columbia presidents, will meet at the Park Street Church vestry, and later on will be joined by the superintendents.

A dispatch from Rio Janeiro ays that Pras- ident Fonseca assumed the supreme command barely in time to prevent the fruition of a con- spiracy to restore theempire. Thia conspiracy is known to have strong European support and Las been directed in Brazil by adberents of the ex-imperiai family, who were leniently per- mitted to return to or remain in the country. But for the president's action they would have probably attemptei coup d’etat within a few days. As it is the Brazilian authorities are aroused to the utmost vigilance and both the army and navy are loyal to the republic. Rev- eral arrests have been made, and all those to whom the treason can be brought home will be dealt with severely. Othere under strong sus- picion will be expelled from*Brazil. Entire tranquility prevails and it is believed thatthere will be no outbreak. President Fonseca is in good health and has the loyal support of his ministers and the executive authorities in all departments. itis reported that the Count d’Eu, son-in- law of Dom Pedro, is at the bottom of the prevent effort to undermine republican govern- ment in Brazil. The count, whose extraordi- nary arrogancs and assumption bad much to do with making the overthrow of Dom Pedro never been content to rest under the deprivation of his wife's magnificent in- heritance. He isa thorough Rourbon and very pmo without ability to sustain his claims respect, and anxious to figure in the courts of royalty. The count is known to have been in communication with Brazilian restoration- ists and bas been watched in behaif of the Bra- zilian government more closely than he sup- posed. Tt is not thought that Dom Pedro has any abare in the ‘eonspiracy, or even a knowl- edge of it Fonseca’s prompt action has un- doubtedly cadsed toms disappointmen: in cer- tain influential circles of England, where the hope of the restoration of Brazilian monarchy has never been entirely surrendered. In an interview in the London Times Don Piza, Brazilian minister to France, declares that the people of Brazil would not accept a dictator. Should President Fonseca seek to play such a role, he, Piza, would not only re- sign, but would not hesitate to ally himself with those who, by any means, however violeng might seek to free Brazil from such a rule. Piza added that Fonseca had suffered for years from heart disease and was not well even now. Fonseca did not dream of being dictator. Congress had violated its own con- stitution by suppressing the rigut of veto. ‘Therefore Fonseca in dissolving the congress was defending a principle. Piza was one of the most active in the over- throw of Dom Pedro. Dom Pedro, ex-Emperor of Brazil, is at the Hotel Bedford in Paris. He refusee to see strangers. He is not in good health. he is watching events, but passive. “If the people of Brazil,” he adds, “should choose to recall me there is nothing to prevent my returning. My health is feeble, ut my heart is strong. I should bless God to be able to die in Brazil, taking there the remains of my beloved empress.” He says See An American Diplomat of Nerve. The American charge d'affaires, Mr. New- berry, became involved in a street brawl in Madrid yesterday. Noticing some lndios ox- postulating in vain with a driver because of his cruelty to an overburdened horse, Mr. New- berry himself remonstrated with the driver. ‘The man then became very insolent, and finally Mr. Newberry boxed his ears. The driver and some companions then attempted to show fight, but, cowed by Mr. Newberry’s manner, they contented themselves with a torrent of vile langage and an ndeavor o invite a riot against “tho foreigner.” Policemen who wit- nessed the affair disregarded Mr. Newberrs’s demand for the arrest of the driver, claiming a they eee do so until a formal com- int was against him with the supe- rior authorities. The driver was, however, finally arrested on the charge of insulting Mr. Newberry. ee ‘New York’s Rapid Transit Scheme. From Electricity.
