From this beginning has developed a demand for Londonderry Lithia Water never equaled in the his- tory of Mineral Waters.

We old folks don’t know any more about that water than my great grandfather did. With all your doc- tors and experts who come here you did not know it would cure humors of the blood until I told you. Your fancy chemists try to tell me what is in this water, but I tell them it was al- ways there, and that it would have staid there and cured folks if they had never been b orn!

Beware of Cheap Imitations. “So many able physicians have testified to the therapeutic value of Londonderry Lithia Water that a consider: ion of its value as disclosed by chemical analysis is superfluous. While such an investigation is interesting in giving usan inkling of Nature’s processes in making combinations, its utility is on par with a study of anatomy and chemistry with a view of constructing 2 human being. ‘The outward details might he seemingly perfect, but t at indispensable condition—life—would be lacking. This comparison is really a statement of the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL mineral waters, wh is in no case more strikingly illustrated than by a trial between LONDONDERRY LITHIA and its imita- tions. —Pharmaceutical Era.

Last night the new Sunday school house | of the Calvary Baptist Church, corner | of Sth and H streets northwest, was crowded with friends from all over the city, and its doors were thrown open for social purposes for the first time since its dedication on Sunday. Congratulatory services were held in connection with the first reception of the ladies of the social circle of the church, and a most enjoyable evening was passed away by all. Address- es were made by Rev. S. M. Newman, D.D., of the First Congregational Church; Rev. D.D., of the First Rev. J. J. Muir, D.D., of | » and Rev. 8. E. Payne of New York, while the services Were closed with prayer by Rev. N. C. Naylor of the Maryland Avenue Baptist | Church. Kev. S. H. Greene, D.D., the pas- | of the church, presided over the serv- | ices of the evening, and a male quartet and Miss Bertha Lincoln furnished the music. The entire building was lighted up from the dining room to the galleries, and the visitors were given the opportunity to see its beauties for themselves. The whole building was filled, about Si persons being | Present, and Mr. Pierson H. Bristow, the Superintendent of the Sunday school, was the recipient of many congratulations from his friends for the new home which his school now has.

Both Figured in the Troubles of John Roach. John Roach’s jealousy has at last got him in trouble. He is a bricklayer by trade and lives at No. 62 P street. During the dull season he went down in Virginia to work at his trade and when he re- turned home two weeks ago he made an unjust charge against the wife who is the mother of six of his children. Then there was a mixture of jealousy and whisky, and arevolver in the man’s hand came near ending the once happy family, but fortunately the trigger of the weapon was not pulled and the woman's life was spared. This all happened the very first night after he reached here from Virginia. The badly frightened wife to live with him, but being wi ide exactly what’ was best for her she did not leave home, but remained there until between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning, when her jealous husband, who was under the influence of liquor, drove her out with her six-months’ iid in her arms. She souht si a nelghbor’s house and had Policemen Hieiler and Judge go to her house to look out for the safety of her children. Her husband had the pistol and she feared he would do some injury to the little one: The offi vent quietly to the house and there they found the man sitting on a bed in one of the rooms on the upper floor. He had the pistol in his hand, but it was held in his coat pocket. ‘Off to the second precinct station he was taken and locked up. s When he appeared in Judge Miller's court this morning he showed plainly the effects f last night’s spree and he blamed liquor for all bis trouble. He Was Drunk. “He made charges against me which are utterly untrue,” said the wife. “I was drunk,” he said, “and that’s all there is about it.” “Where did you get that pistol?” judge asked him. “It was made a present to me,” was the prisoner's response. “The man who gave it to you,” the judge said, “had just as well given you a rattle- snake.” i He was required to give $500 security to the the as she started to leave the co woman, rt. the court has nothing to do with tha said the judge. “What shall I do with the pistol?” asked the officer. “Turn it im to the property clerk to be destroyed.” —_—->__—— FRIENDS OF THE NEWSBOYS,. Contributions of Money and Provi- sions for the Home. The Newsboys’ and Children’s Aid So- clety was recently at home to its friends, and they are numerous, as well as gen- erous. Although every one was assured of a warm weicome on that occasion, still a great many brought along some little pres- ent, and, of course, it was gladly received, for the fact of the matter is that the home is not well supplied with money and pro- visions, both of which are needed in carr: ing on this work.

They did this on Sat- urday. It is not known that they have legalized their union with a license or have invoked the aid of a minister. Dyott ts a deserter from his wife and a defaulter from the Crawford Shoe Company, of whose | Washington branch he was the manager. Miss Clipper ts the daughter of William | Clipper, janitor of the Sun building. She ts | nineteen years old, blonde and pretty. The pair was supposed to have gone to | New York, and thither the brothers of the | girl hied. A letter was received by the Crawford people this forenoon indicating that Mr. Dyott is in Chicago. It purports to come from the shoe firm of Streeter & Company of that city, and states that Mr. S. H. Dyott has applied to them for a posi tion, and as reference has given the Wash- ington branch of the Crawford Company. It is Hkely that Mr. Dyott has secured a letter head of the Chicago company, written the letter and had it mailed from the windy city with a view to laying a deceptive trail. In any event, his capture {is but the question of a little time. If he has married Miss Clipper, he will be prosecuted for bigamy, and, if he hag not, he will have to answer to the wrath of her male kin. The Craw- fords will prosecute him for embezzlement. Dyott was connected with the New York branch of the Crawfords before he came to Washington. Arriving here, he took rooms at the Randolph, and his wife secured a position at the Palais Royal. Seeing Miss Clipper, and wishing to know her, he sent her a note, which she turned over to a brother. The latter exacted an apology from Mr. Dyott. Dyott then made the ac- quaintance of Miss Clipper by personally apologizing for his indiscretion. The win- dow of Miss Clipper’s room in the Sun build- ing, and the F street window of the shoe store are in line, and as both buildings ere lighted with electricity, the lovers main- tained communication by means of a code of flashes. This signaling was noted by another lady in the neighborhood, and she and Mr. Dyott began to love each other. She loaned Mr. Dyott $300 that he might procure a divorce from his wife in her behalf. By means of his peculations, Dyott dressed well, and several creditors mourn his ab- sence. Miss Clipper did not know that her lover was a married man. Mrs. Dyott is stopping with her sister, No. 1426 West Lanvale street, Baltimore, and was wedded to Dyott in 1891, a few days after his divorce from a previous wife. ed The Hope and Help Mission. The board of managers of the Hope and Help Mission, or Home for Unfortunate Women and Girls, located at 622 H street northwest, are maturing plans for a public meeting to be held in the interests of this worthy charity, on next Sunday afternoon, at 3:30 o'clock, at the First Congregational Church. The mission is wholly non-sectar- ian, and is supported entirely by voluntary contributions, only $500 having been secur- ed from Congress for the payment of rent this year. The unusually hard winter for the poor has made heavy drains upon the resour of the board of managers, thirty- eight women having received shelter in the mission the whole or a part of January, and thirty-six for a similar length of ume in February, and about an equal number so far in March. Service places have been ecured for many, and nine have been sent to the various hospitals for treatment, many of whom have returned to the mis- sion for shelter until able to go to work. ‘The service Sunday afternoon will be a dresed by Rev. Dr. Kelly, Rev. E. D. Bailey and of the board of directors, Mrs. S. D. LaFetra, chairman; Mrs. M. E. Cat- lin, secretary. Mr. James Petty and Mr. Jarvis and Mrs. E. K. Knowles, also members of the board, will participate in the service. Good music will be furnishea and reports given. On the principle that an ounce of prevention is worth many pounds of cure, Congressman Morse’s Dill for the punishment of seduction will be in- dorsed by the meeting, with some brief speeches in favor of the bill. puso, The Corcoran Art Gallery.

Offenses of Various Sorts, but Drink the Predominaat Cause—One Of- fler’s Arest Yesterday. When George Thavis opened his eyes this morning after a sound sleep during the night he was much surprised to find fron bars in front of him. Then, too, he did not find himself on his couch in his little reom on N street near the canal. Going from his iron bed to the bars he called for water, as that. was the only liquid he could hope to get in the police station. A ride in the “Black Maria” and the victim of strong drink was landed at the entrance to Judge Kimball's court. “You are charged with obstructing the sidewalk with your person,” the clerk read to him, “are you guilty or not guilty?” “Not guilty of that,” he responded. “Last night,” said Policeman Cowan, “I found this man on H street southwest. He was staggering about the sidewalk, and I put him on his feet and started him home. | An hour later I found him on K street in the same condition, and then I arrested him.” |‘ asked the policeman to show me the way home,” said the prisoner. ‘The police- tan sent for the patrol wagon, and in- stead of sending me home he sent me to the police station.” | “Which was exactly right,” added the court. “You must not expect to get in this con- | dition,” said the judge, “and be sent home in a cab.” A fine of $5 was imposed. “Col.” William P. Lasselle, whose fond- | ness for whisky has caused him to spend many months on the farm, and who, when brought before the court yesterday, prom- ised to return today for sentence, came in |and was given thirty days in default of bonds. | Charlie Parker's appearance was that of |a countryman, who would willingly join | any army in which he would not have to | work. There was a second-hand appear- ance about his wearing apparel, several inches of his shirt between his vest and trousers giving the effect of a white sash. Safety pins held his trousers together, but because of their large size it was neces- sary for him to hold them up to prevent their falling from him. “Guilty,” he said, when the clerk ar- raigned him. “Parker has been loafing about the street,”’ said an officer, ‘and I’ve seen him begging a number of times.” “Thirty days.” He Works Hard. ‘Thomas Smith, a hard-working young col- ored man, was arrested last evening by Policeman Mohl. He was arrested for no cause whatever, and the policeman charged him with being a vagrant. “I work every day of my life,” said the prisoner, “and work hard.” “And I've seen him loating about Blag- den's alley id the officer. ‘About whisky shops?” queried the court. ‘No, your honor,” answered the officer. “There are no whisky shops there, but when I drive the men away from the corner of the alley they laugh at me.” “Where do you live?’ Judge Kimball asked. “In Blagden’s alley,” was his response. “There's nothing against this man," said the court; “case dismissed.” Edward Reeves, a telegraph operator, was on a lark with a companion last night, and Policeman Kimmell arrested both ‘men. Lucien A. Scott was the other man, and his collateral was forfeited. “Reeves is a working man,” said Lawyer Closs, his counsel, “‘but he occasionally gets in his ‘cups.’ He has a bank account and only wants time to send for his money.” The usual fine was imposed and Reeves gave his check for the amount. Tramps’ Retreat. At Trinidad there ts a sand house, belong- ing to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. There are steam pipes in and near the place and even in the coldest weather the sand pile Is a warm place. No class of persons know of this good tramps’ lodging house better than the tramps themselves, and all during the win- ter they made a home of it. Occastonally the police raided the place, and more than a hundred persons have been taken there- ft ‘rom. Special Officer Green made a raid last night and found four sleepers who were apparently awaiting the arival of Coxey's army. They were arested and at the sta- tion they registered as Charles Evans, Robert Corriston, Harry Clifford and Henry Nelson. Evans is &n old man and had been ar- rested before, so that the experience was a novel one with him. IN HOTEL CORRIDORS. “The railroad tax case which is now under consideration by the Supreme Court presents a very simple question,” said Gov. Matthews of Indiana at the Riggs House this morning. “For many years the rail- roads in Indiana were assessed at very low and altogether unfair figures. A law was passed creating a state board of assess- ment, composed of the governor, the sec- retary and auditor of state and two other members to be appointed by the governor. The duty of this body was to heard ap- peals from assessments of all sorts of property over the state whose owners de- sired an adjustment of differences, and it was clothed with original power to assess railroads, telegraph and telephone com- panies and express companies. In pursu- ance of this power the board increased the assessment of the railroads from $00,000,- 000 to $160,000,000. The railroads, of course, strenuously objected. Some of them paid the increased taxes without objection, some paid them under prot and some refused to pay them altogether. The claim was made that the law was unconstitutional, and the novel plea was also put forward that where a railroad ran through another state than Indiana that the board had assessed the increased value of its property caused by its connections outside of the state, and that this was in violation of the interstate commerce law. The action of the state board has been upheld by the | lower and supreme court of Indiana, and I believe these decisions will be sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States.” “What is the political complexion out in Indiana? wn Democratic!” exclaimed the governor. “The democratic party is very strong with the people in my state because it has never failed to redeem a single promise contained in the party platform in the past twenty years. Every law for the betterment of the conditions of Indiana people that has been passed for the same period has been en- acted by a democratic legislature. What Meese ol is sa the promises in the E latform s kept, WW ould be as religiously it left the House. It is not entirely sult- able to us, but it is a step in the right direction. We want the national demo- crats here to prevent the veto of the Bland | selgniorage bill. If the party representa- | tives in Washington will only do their duty and carry out platform promises, as the | Indiana democracy invariably has done, | the Hoosiers will testify their appreciation | by pushing their state away up on the list of victorious democratic states.” “That was a very excellent suggestion of | Senator Kyle’s,” said Judge Robert Christy at Willard’s today. “He was conversing about the advance of Coxey’s Good Roads Association, as the namesake of the organt- an terms his army, and remarked that the coming iegions would onl: improve the roads on their way to ‘Washington they would not fail to be received with caress- ing affection. There is so much practical good sense in the Senator's remark that I think you would perform a patriotic duty by sending a marked copy of the general in command.” poe ees “This fellow Brown, who is Coxey’s chief lieutenant in command of the army of the tattered and the torn which is now moving on Washington and Congress, is a revolu- tionist of the most decided stripe,” said Henry Whitman of Chicago at the Ebbitt. “He was one of the leading spirits of the | Silver convention that was held in Chicago during the world’s fair and made all sorts of outlandish propositions. The present ri- |diculous movement is only a subdued va- riety of a plan he favored for the establish- ment of a government in this country re- gardless of the forms and laws of that now in existence. He proposed that the masses should set up a government of their own on lines that would make the veriest socialist |in existence shudder and that they should | take possession of the world’s fair buildings at the close of the exposition and establish the seat of government in Jackson Park. Such men should be put out of the way of | counseling revolution,” continued Mr. Whit- | man. he wave of anarchism is swiftly | rolling westward, as any observer can see. Two or three years ago dynamite outrages were confined almost entirely to Russia. Now they are of almost daily occurrence in France and Spain. England, too, has a scare every two or three weeks, and only ten days ago a man with deadly bombs in | his possession was urrested late at night in the very heart of the section in New York where the wealthy have their homes. The agitators who stir up the discontented to fanaticism by their fiery harangues should be taken in hand by the authorities and summarily dealt with as long as the ballot box presents the people with an opportunity to right whatever exists in the government that they may consider wrong.” For the past month or so there has been a pretty regular and altogether lively poker game in one of the uptown hotels. Three times a week, and even more frequently, a select coterie has assembled to enjoy the fickle pleasure that may be found secreted in the lair of the jack pot. A southern judge has been one of the party, never missing a sitting, and seldom failing to win copiously of his opponents’ shekels. His ve seen him begging on the streets several times,” he said, “and he accosted me on the streets twice.” He was given thirty days and his com- panions were sent down for ten days each. Richard Eagan was in the line on a charge of vagrancy. He was given a bad name by several po- licemen. — * “Last night,” said an officer, “he was drunk.” Witnesses told of the number of times he had been seen drunk and said he had given the officers considerable trouble. “I took the pledge Christmas morning,” said the prisoner, “and kept it until the 15th of last month.” “You are getting to look like a drunk- ard,” said the court. “Your eyes and face have every appearance of a man who is a hard drinker.” Sixty days in default of security was his sentence. Charlie Dice, a young colored man, was brought before the court for contempt, be- cause he failed to pay a fine after the court credited him. Charlie was between two fires. His wife is a sickly woman, and his rent was due. “It I didn’t pay the rent I would have been put out.” “And if you didn’t pay the fine you would have been put in the workhouse.” He further safd that he had suffered for want of food because he had endeavored to | raise money for his rent and fine. “Are you working?” ‘Yes, sir.” ‘How much do you earn?” “I'm working on half pay now. I used | to get $1 a day, and now I get fifty cents.” He denied that he had been on a spree and the court made an order relieving him from payment of the fine. —_—S Mother Mary Joseph Gall, successor to Mother Agatha, who was buried Monday, died suddenly Thursday night of heart dis- ease at Dubuque, Iowa.

Wednes- day night the quintet assembled to have a little sport, and the judge suggested that there should be no borrowing in that game anyhow, but that any man who lost his ready cash would have to cease playing. This was agreed to. By some untoward combination of ill-luck the judge got broke in half an hour.

Hogg of Texas has telegraphed the | following to the Dallas Times-Herald: i AUSTIN, Tex., March 28.—You can truth- | fully say that neither the cormorant nor the commune can disgrace Texas while I am governor, When a railroad company hauls tramps or unemployed, penniless men into this state, it cannot dump them in a barren desert and mnrder them by | torture and starvation, without atoning for it, if there is any virtue in our machinery } of justice. Nor will I permit them to be | shot down on Texas soil by an armed force, |mo matter how much the Southern Pacific and other enemies of the state may howl about the commune. J. 8. HOGG.
