The True Way to Find Happiness for Those Who Have It Not. Wealth does not make happiness. It does not make even comfort. Sickness blights everything. Kings and princes may envy the poor the bless- ing of good health. naf you are in pain o suffering you cannot be Py. This is why the remarks of the well-known Har- ret Robinson of 74 Snell street, Fall River, Mass. have so much weight and are worthy of all tention. “I firmly believe,’ she said, “that I should not be living today if it had not been for Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Such awful pains im my head and back, and my stomach, ob, it was So bad! I now am well and eat naturally. I have ‘RO pains or distress. Thanks to Dr. Greene's Ner- vura I am well again. It was over two years ago that I was cured, and no trace of the disease has returned."’ HARRIET ROBINSON. Another widely known lady, M: Blatt of 73 Mulberry street, Newark, N. J., speaking in the same vein, says: + “I have been suffering with pain in the back and head. I tried doctors, but found no relief. I was recommended to try Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. I now sleep soundly and have no pain, and am well, thanks to Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy."* If you are a sufferer from disease it is plainly Four own fault if you do not get cured. This won- derful medicine, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, will certainly cure you. It is pure- ly vegetable and harmless. It is constantly prescribed and recommended by doctors. It is the discovery of a physician, Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th street, New York, the famous and successful specialist in curing all forms of nervous and chronic diseases.

An Engineer Crushed to Death and Trainmen Badly Hurt. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star, PETERSBURG, Virginia, Oct. 31—A bad wreck occurred early this morning on the Norfolk and Western railroad near Lambert’s point, which was caused by a loaded coal train which left here last night running into a number of “dead cars” which were standing on a middie track and which were loaded with general merchandise. ‘the accident was caused by some one having left a switch open. Eighteen or twenty cars were completely demolished and the locomotive was over- turned and badly wrecked. T. J. Andrews, the engineer, was caught under the loco- motive and crushed to death. The fireman, named McCue, whose home is at Crew, was scalded. Two or three other men em- ning on the road as engineer for the past two years. His remains were brought here this afternoon. In consequence of the wreck the west bound passenger train due here at 10 o'clock a.m. was two hours behind sched- ule time. A wrecking car was sent from pal the scene of the wreck to open the trac ee ENGLAND'S LATEST SCANDAL. Inquest Over the Remains of Eva Blosse. LONDON, Oct. 31.—The coroner’s inquest on the body of Eva Biosse, the woman who shot and killed herself Friday night, be- cause, it is said, of the discovery of her Mason with Frederick Charles Howard, pooch: of the Earl of Effingham, was heid today. : Mr. Robinson, a brother-in-law of the dead woman, testified that she was first married to Capt. Edward Faulkner Lynche Blosse, eldest son of Sir Robert Lynch Blosse. She procured a divorce from him in the United States some years ago on the grounds of cruelty and ‘adultery. She then married a man named Booth, who after- ward was found to be insane. She was not divorced from Mr. Blosse according to the English law and therefore her name remain- ed unchanged. She was sed of pri- vate means and had lived at Whitehead’s Grove, Chelsea, for a year. She was of pees sober habits, but was very excit- able. ———> —— INDIGNANT MR. CHASE. He Makes Some Remarks in His Let- ter of Resignatio: William Calvin Chase, food inspector for the District of Columbia, has resigned. He called upon the Commissioners this morning and presented his resignation. There was defiance in his demeanor, and he smiled a wicked smile as he walked out of the build- ing. It will be recalled that Chase was request- ed to hand in his resignation several weeks ago, but his application for leave of absence was approved by the Commissioners, and he was allowed to draw his full pay for October. Chase thinks he has been ill treated. He says the colored people have not # fair representation in the District government, and the fact that his place was filled by a white man is proof positive that the colored men are not to be consid- ered by the present administration. These views, as well as others relating to local politics, were incorporated in the letter which accompanied his resignation, and which is as long nearly as the indig- nation of Mr. Chase. In referring to the two civil Commissioners, he speaks of Mr. Ross as the democratic Commissioner, and pauses to pay a tribute to that official's fair treatment of himself and incidentally of the colored race. The Republican Commissioner. Mr. Parker in the letter is always the re- publican Commissioner. Then the letter refers to the charges that were preferred against him, he says, and spoken of by the republican Commissioner, some of which were credited to Mr. Simon Wolf. The lat- ter denies, Mr. Chase says, that he had spoken of the mysterious disappearance of money contributed toward campaign ex- penses and placed in the custody of Mr. Chase. As to the charge that Perry Carson and his followers gre opposed to him, Mr. Chase proudly inquires of the republican Commis- sioner if he was not aware that he (Chase) represented one faction of the republican party in the District and Mr. Carson the other. Mr. Chase then goes on to say that he was removed to give place to a white republican worker who had raised a sum of money for the campaign. This latter fact Mr. Chase denies. The charge that he did not cover his district, he asserts, is too ridiculous to mention. However, he refers to the records of the health office in vindication of his official efficiency. In this connection he incidentally makes some remarks intended to be sar- castic as to the manner in which the health office is enforcing the ordinances. He further adds that if he neglected his duty at all it was one day in the month of September and one day in the month of October, “when I was detailed by the deputy health officer on special duty to borrow him $100." Mr. Chase expresses surprise that out of the many thousand white democrats in the District, not one was found worthy to be appointed. In conclusion, he asserts that he has no deals to make, and expects his reward from the people and not from those who lose their heads when placed in au- thority. ——__-____ THE CHICAGO ASSASSIN. rote to Secretary Ci Silver Quest Secretary Carlisle was one of the objects of the epistolary shafts of Prendergast, the assassin of Mayor Harrison. The last communication from him addressed to the Secretary of the Treasury was received at the Treasury Department yesterday morn- ing. It was written on a postal card, post- marked Chicago. It was on the silver question, like most of his letters to Sena- tors, and read as follow: ‘October 27, 1893. “My dear sir: Regards. respects and ‘compliments to you. I think the best way for the President to overcome his present difficulty is for him to issue bonds. There can be no doubt as to the power and au- thority of the government to do so. “Sincerely, (Signed) P. E. J PRENDERGAST.” Title to Canal Street. Representative Hartman introduced a resolution in the House today directing the District committee to ascertain whether the District of Columbia has any right or title in Canal street between L and P streets southwest; whether said Canal street is open to traffic on both sides of the canal, and if not, it was obstructed whether the District Commissioners have taken steps to remove the obstructions. Also, if the canal is used for transporta- tion; If sewers empty into the canal and if it is detrimental to the public health; if the Commissioners can improve the sant- tary condition of the canal. The committee is authorized to report by bill such meas- ures as are necessary to clear the street of obstructions and place the canal in good sanitary condition. Army Ordnance. Gen. Flagler, chief of ordnance, U.S. A., has made his annual report to the Secre- tary of Wer. It makes some important recommendations of interest to the militia generally and the D.C. N. G. in particular. The report also contains the estimates for the next fiscal year. ——_—___+2+______ Local Patents, But one patent was issued today to a District inventor, Frederick E.

An application was recently made to the Commissioners to name the alley recently condemned in block 7 of Le Droit Park Oak place. The attorney in passing upon this case holds that the Commissioners have no more power to name this alley Oak place than they have to change the name of a street. While the Commission- ers may control the name of an alley or a street in the beginning, before the same is dedicated to public use and entered upon the public records they have no power, ex- cept by authority of Congress, to do so afterwards. He recommends the request be not complied with. Today's Orders. The Commissioners today ordered that contract is awarded the Washington As- Phait, Block and Tile Company for furnish- ing the District with asphalt paving blocks during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1991, at $64.50 per thousand. That the public gas lamp near the north- west corner of 24 and T streeis northwest be moved westward to the center of the square, and that two new gas lamps be erected as follows: One at the southwest corner of 2d and T streets and one on the corner of Thomas and 2d street. That a sewer in the south side of Florida avenue northeast between Sth and 6th streets be added to the provisional schedule of sewers to be built under the appropria- tion for main and pipe sewers, 18%. That a sewer in the north side of L street southeast between 3d and ‘th streets be added to the provisional schedule of sewers to be built under the appropriation for main and pipe sewers, 18%. ‘That a sewer in alley of block 7, Wash- ington Heights, be added to the provisional schedule of sewers to be built under the appropriation for suburban sewers, 18%. That a catch basin be constructed at the northwest corner of Park and Mth streets. That a public gas lamp on the north silde of I street between 15th and 16th streets northwest be relighted. That the roofs of the building at the U street pumping station be painted. License Matters. 2:30 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 8 m. Sundays, 9 to 11 a.m. at | FOREIGN VIEWS ON REPEAL. w m English and a German Banker Have to Say. Sir John Lubbock, banker, author and member of parliament, is quoted in an inter- view, concerning the financial condition of the United States: . “I do not think that the repeal of the Sherman act will necessitate any large pur- chases of gold by the United States. The American circulation contains, of cotrse, |more silver and silver certificates than can | be properly absorbed, but it does not follow |that more gold will be required. Repeal ought not to affect seriously trade or prices in the united kingdom and continental coun- |tries. As regards this part of the subject, I adhere to the views expressed by me re- | cently in the North American Review.” “How would the London market receive |an issue of American bonds if the govern- |ment in Washington should upon a | gold loan of £100,000,000 or mote?” | “It is impossibie to foresee whether the market would take the bonds at par with- out knowing the full terms and conditions. “If the bonds should be made sterling, with a reasonable rate of interest, | without doubt they might be issued to @ con- siderable amount.” | Consul Guttmann, governor of the dener bank, said yesterday at Berlin: “ repeal of the Sherman act will have the best possible effects upon German trade and industry. Confidence in the international money market and in American securities will return. Trade and commerce will flourish again. A few years will suffice to banish the ill effects of the silver bill. This bill was a suicidal measure. | Naturally the repeal of the Sherman act | will cause some immediate scarcity of gold and will raise the rates of discount. Other- | wise it will not have much effect, I be- lieve. Silver will fall somewhat, but the fluctuations will not be very serjous. Of course the small silver mines will be closed. Owners of the large mines will form a ring and keep up the price. Silver will always | retain good value as currency and for | household and industrial purposes. With | advancing civilization Africa will become \g om silver customer. “One ni consequence of the Sherman act, I think, will be the abe lition of the McKinley tariff.” Henry Billings and T. W. Murphy have| withdrawn their names from the applica-| tion of John E. Luckett, for a retail liquor | license at 201 G street northwest. James Ferry has notified the Commissioners that | he has not authorized any one to sign his) name to any application for a bar room license on M street between 24th and 25th streets northwest. ——_ CAPITOL TOPICS. The Chinese Bill. It was made evident in the Senate last evening from the reception accorded the House bill extending and amending the Geary law that the prospect of final action on that measure during the extra session is remote. Mr. Gray, responding to the un- derstood wish of the administration,reported the bill from the committee on foreign re- lations without amendment, but to a sug. gestion of Mr. Perkins of California that the bill should be set for action on Wed- nesday next after the morning hour (which Badly Hurt.
