WILLIAM SMALL, Fort Fairfield, Me.,says, in a letter recently received: ‘It wives me pleasure to speak from personal knowledie ofthe wonderful cure, by the use of AYER’S Sarsa- Parilla, of abad humor ina child eleven years old. The child’s hands, arms, feet and legs were covered with blotches and scabs, resisting all local applica- tions. Very soon after taking AYERS Sarsaparills the humor disappeared, the cure being complete. As ablood purifer I consider that AYEi’3: SARSAPARILLA Stands atthe heat of the whole catalogue of such preparations, especially when used in connection with AYER’S Pills.” **There can be no question as to the superiority of AYER’S Sarsaparilla over ali other blood puritiers. If this was not the case the demand forit, stead of in- creasing yearly, would have ceased long ago, like so many other blood medicines I could name."—F. L. NICKERSON, Charlestown, Mass.

The usual routine of the autumn will now reassert itself an feminine part of the social w busy with millinery and dressmaking open- ings and looking over the beautiful thjugs that the fashionable caterers have brought home from Europe to please :he eye und tickle the palate of their patrons. The woman who is fond of shopping is never happier than at this particular season, vided her purse is able to stand the de- mands she makes upon it. The millinery and dressmaking openings are symposiu:ns of delight, but they are not in any vense exceeded by the shows of flowers and novel- ties that fashion provides and demands for i the adornment of the table, or for the serv- ing of the substantials and sweetneats that | wo to make up the banquet of the av. As the tide of society people invariably runs in one direction the iadies have all the op- portunities they desire to meet and ex- change the latest gossip and have mie as good a time as they will a month hence at their various entertainments.

This nobby litt!e tarnout consists of a basket cart big enough fur four children, and the Shetland pony and rm harness makes the most stylish po: outfit. The rig was a birthday ;iit for Miss Julia, and nothing else could nave given her as much pleasure nor been such a total surprise. it was a pretty sight to watch the gather. ing of little ones at the home of the Post- master General the other day, on the vcca- sion of the second birthday ebration of Baby Margaret. Rath Cleveland wnd ali the little children of the cabinet tamities were the guests and a merry time they had of it. dropped in to see the first social gathering of their children, and Baby Margaret, who says the drollest things in her oaby way, proved a most delightful and «etighted hostess.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: The visiting staff is trying to cover up jthe actions of Dr. Kerr. Dr, Kerr says jthat Dr. Hough understood his business. a is hardly probable, as Dr. Hough jonly graduated last spring, and when i called at the hospital to see my boy, about 7 o'clock p.m. August 28, 1 was denied ad- mission and told that it was past the hours of visiting, which were from 10 to 12 and 3 to 5 pm. I was denied the privilege of } though Dr. Hough knew me and knew my boy. “They were Sunday school scholars together. If the board .of directors con- sidered Dr. Hough a competent person to }be in charge, why did they remove him When investigation was made after my complaint? Further, Dr. ough, when I |called, told me, talking through the bars of the gate, that my boy was doing well and would be all right in a day or two, an evidence that he was not competent to diagnose the case so as to know the boy's condition, After the death of my boy I jasked Dr. Hough what treatment he had igiven him. He replied that he had drawn off his water, given him an injection and a bath and applied ice to the base of the !brain. I told him that I thought it was singular treatment for brain injury, as the ice applied to the brain would be likely to cause blood clot if there were any hem- orrhage. He said he did what he thought was for the best, but that I should talk to Dr. Kerr; that he had telephoned for Dr. Kerr three different times, the doctor re- |cetving the messages, but failed to respond jin person. Further, Dr. Kerr reported to the visiting staff and also to your reporter that my boy was injured at the base of the brain. If he had seen him he would have known different, as the injury was above aad to the rear of the left eye. My boy survived the fall sixteen hours, even with the unskillful treatment that he re- ceived, and I contend that had he had proper treatment he would be alive today. The board of visitors may cover up the lactions of Dr. Kerr, and he may be re- | tained.in charge, but who will be the next to suiger from his neglect?- It may be one of your loved ones or some member of one of the families of the board, but it will come.

HYATTSVILLE. j close in Prince George’s county the excite- | Ment in politics seems to be at fever heat. The demotratic and republican candidates are now working night and day to win the As the campaign is now drawing to a fight. A new assessment bill is bound to come before the next Jegisinture, and there- fore the people are more interested than | usual in this campaign. The republicans are arraigning the democrats on the stump for having closed the public schools on the 15th of April, and the democrats by way of explanation are telling the people that the number of public schools had increased dur- ing the past year, that the state appropria- ton had been cut down $4,000, and that as a debt was on their hands the only way to pay it was to close the schools two months earlier than usual. The democrats are claiming that the republican ticket is not composed of representative men, and the republicans in return are saying that the opposite party has two men upon its ticket who wii! act In the interests of certain co>- porations. This charge, however, is being indignantly denied by the democrats. A certain republican can@idate has accused a certain democratic member of the last legis-. | lature of having accepted a bribe of $1,000 for assisting in securing the passage of the bill for the purchase of the Weshington and | Marlboro’ turnpike, and the party accused | has taken the stump and emphatically de- |nied the statement, producing a petition signed by 157 persons, ineluding the names of many prominent republicans, and also that of a cpndidate upon the republican ticket, requesting the county to purchase the pike. Some dissatisfied democrats are kicking against their party, whtle, on the other hand, some repubiicars believe that their party has placed a weak ticket in the fleid and are going to vote against it in conse- quence. Nottingham, Bradywine, Marlboro’, Queen Anne and Bowie districts give re- pubiican majorities, while Laurel, Vansville, Bladensburg, Kent, Spaldings, Piscataway and Oxon Hill districts are carried by the democrats. Surratts and Aquasco districts are about evenly divided. The democrats believe they will carry the county by a good majority. A number of democratic speakers have been on the stump this fail, including State’s Attorney Brandt, Wm. L Hill, Gen. Horn, N. C. Darnall, Brooke Hunter, James C. Rogers, Geo. M. Henault and Pinkney A. Scages. The republicans have also been assisted in thel> canvass by Capt. Wm. M. Potter, John W. elt and other local speakers. The independent sin- gle taxers or populists are working hard and in some places have held as many @: three meetings, but their case is regarded as hopeless, and it is thought that they | will not poll very many votes outside of Bladensburg district, as single tax ideas seem to be pretty much confined to Hyatts- ville. However, the third party movement has developed much more strength than tt bad the credit of having. Messrs. Wm. Binger and B. N. Hardesty, candidates of this party for the house of delegates and | sheriff, respectively, have withdrawn their names from the ticket. It is said the re- publican party will be affected more by this third party movement than the democ-atic. At a recent meeting of the orphans’ court the following business was transacted: Or- dered, that letters testamentary be granted to Mary A. M. Bell, executrix of Alfred H. Bell, bond filed and approved, notice to creditors ordered, and John C. Wyville and Wm. H. Wyvilie be appointed appraisers; that the first and final account of Joseph A. Thorne, administrator of Wm. 8. Thorne, be passed; that Ida M. Bowie, administra- trix of Francis M. Bowie, be authorized to sell personal property at public sale; that c. C. Murphy be appointed administrator of Thomas Mu-phy, bond filed and approved, notice to creditors ordered, and James Mil- ler and Wm. R. McChestney appointed ap- praisers; that the first and final account of rm. A. Robey, administrator of Mary R. Webster, be passed.
