Ignorance or Carelessness of Mothers, Says Board of Health, Is Largely Accountable for This Slaughter of the Innocents. September is the deadifest month for infants un der five, as November and December are the healthiest. And the nights are deadiier than the daya, A strange ignorance exists among many mothers that diarrhoea is natural during teething, and must not be checked until that period ts over. No more fatal ignorance ever entered parents’ mind! ‘The greatest source of the fearful infant mortal- ity for the next month will be diarrhoeal diseases, wholly due to improper food, encouraged by high temperature. But for this ignorance and careless- JESSIN AIKEN GRISWOLD. ness in baby’s summer diet the hot months might be as healthy as any, and August and September would not have an infant death rate so fearfully in excess of the yearly average. Watch baby’s food; as soon as a lack of appetite is noticed, colicky pains, diarrhoea, more or less fever, exhaustion or rapid loss of flesh, put the infant upon lactated food. Lactated food has been expressly prepared tu meet such cases. Under the advice of the pro- fessors in the medical department of Vermont Uni- versity more especially Prof. A. P. Grinnell, dean of the university, and Dr. S. M. Roberts, professor of the diseases of children, and under the direct supervision of Prof. C. $. Boynton, the manufacture of lactated food has been carried on. It ts sup- plied to physicians all over the United States, The late Dr. Agaew of Philadelphia is but one of the very many eminent physicians who have publicly recommended lactated food and used it in thelr own homes. Lactated food has the confidence of physicians be- ceuse every ingredient is well known to them. Made under the eve of as eminent a physician as Prof. C. & Boyuton, scrupulous care is known to be employed in securing absolute purity, reliability and thoroughness in its manvfucture. ‘The basis is sugar of milk, which is the basis of mother’s m.lk. With it is combined the autritious elements of the great cereals, wheat, oats and barley, so prepared as to be very easily digested and assimilated by the infant stomach. This makes an ideal infant food that resembles mother’s milk more closely than anything else possibly can. And the beauty of it is that for 25 cents a mother can buy a pack- age that contains egongh to snake ten pinis of cooked food. Lactated food should be given to all bables ‘and young children who do not cat with relish, who are weak and drooping. But a few meals make the little sufferers “pick p'* wonderfully, nursés say. The thim blood must grow rich om such a hearty diet. And with all its great powo:s of nourishing, it has been possible to secure an easy digestibility, and, above all, a taste agreeable to the infant stomach. Pale children gain color at once when fed on lactated food. Mrs. Frank §. Griswold of Milwaukee, Wis., whose baby's picture is given above, writes: “This picture of our Laby, Jessie, was taken at sixteen months, when she weighed twenty-four pounds. She was a very delicate child, and not even our physician thought we could raise her. When five months cld we made a change in ber food, which had been sterilized milk, and tried other food, but withont good results, and them sent to you for © sample package of lactated food, and she has taken nothing else from that time to this. She ts perfectly well, and is as bright and. happy a baby as one could wish to sce.” 0O90F6090006605000600600000 If You Are Suffering from any irritating, disfiguring humor or eruption, such as Pimples, Blotches, Blackheads, Ring Worm, Tetter, Eczema, Salt Rheum, Prickly Heat or Itching Piles, you can be speedily and per- manently cured by using Foster’s German Army and Navy Cure.

The sensational feature of yesterday's game between the Senators and Cincinnatis was the case of rattles displayed by that old-timer and shrewd captain, Charley Co- miskey, in the sixth inning. The captain had worked around to third and was on that bag when Smith hit an apparently safe ball toward Stocksdale. The latter made a sensational stop of the ball with his right hand and caught Comiskey off third. Then began an exciting chase up and down the line, several of the local team trying to catch the Cincinnatis’ cap- tain. While this was going on Smith work- ed around and finally landed on third. Everybody thought the captain was working for this point and would give in when Smith reached the base, but he took on a case of rattles and landing back on the third bag, McGuire touched both, and th:n Comiskey walked off the bag, thinking that he was out and Smith safe. Joyce ran over and touched Comiskey, and the umpire decided both out. The play was a complicated one and took several minutes for the players to understand the point. Comiskey kept insisting that only he was out and that Smith was entitled to the base, but in vain. Rule 44 declares that a base runner is en- titled to hold a base until he has legally touched the next base in order, or has been legally forced tapvacate it for a succeed- rd a runner (according to rule 47, sec- joa 11). Emsiie was right and the case of rattles kept the visitors from scoring. Had Co- miskey held third he would have been safe, but Smith would have been out. A large crowd was present to witness the game, nearly 2,500 enthusiasts being on hand, many of whom were from the west, and cheered the visitors at every oppor- tunity.

Tomorrow the long-anticipated ball game between Almas Temple and Lu Lu Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S., will be fought to a finish at the Washington League grounds. At precisely 4:15 p.m. the umpire will cast his eyes toward the declining god of day, and after commending his soul to the care of Allah will summon the nobles to the field, to battle not with lance and spear, but with the bat and sheepskin. The outcome of the game is as much a mystery as the closely guarded secrets which, hoary with the age of the pyramids, have descended to the modern Shriners who constitute the lineal descendants of the honored devotees of the Egyptian mysteries. Time alone will solve the problem, but the sport will be rich, and a great and glorious opportunity will be missed by these who do not attend.

Dan Richardson has not played with the Louisvilles for a week. The Baltimore Sun speaks of Meekin and Esper being “finds” by Messrs, Wagner and Schmelz. Those men pitched good ball for Louisville and Philadelphia long before they came here. . There are no regularly scheduled games in the league today. Cleveland, however, will play off a postponed game with Baltimore at Baltimore, and Boston will play off a postponed game with New York at the Polo Grounds, Blake, the outfielder that Cleveland se- cured from the Southern League, is not batting as strongly for Cleveland as he did when he first joined the club. Capt. Foutz and one or two of the Brook- lyn players have been invited to join a combination that will give exhibitions in Florida next winter. It's not always so easy to replace the old-time ball players with youngsters, Take the case of Jack Glasscock, for instance. Anson says Boston will win the pennan’ with New York second, Cleveland third an Baltimore fourth. Barnie’s men will play a game at Atlan- tic City today. BOLAN BESTS SIDDONS. The Former Gets the Decision in a Ten-Round Match. An exhibition of sparring was given in a tented arena just beyond the southern end of the Long bridge last night by the Eureka Athletic Club of this city. About 300 per- sons interested in prize fighting were pres- ent. The first bout was between McManus of St. Louis and Holcomb of Washington. The former is a white man, and claims to be Hugh McManus, champion welter-weight of Missourt, but gentlemen acquainted with that individual say that heis traveling un- der false colors. Holcomb ts well kaown as the champion colored sparrer of his weight in the District. He disposed of McManus in four rounds. The second contest was to have been a teporn4 an hetweep Uorris White of Pitts- burg and Fred npetia ig city, “Billy Madden’s $10,000 "* ‘These men are both colored. aa White was a hard Fitter, but was totally helpless in the matter“of Hefense, and Mor- ris hit him at will. The result was that his face, and especially his ngse, was badly cut ly winded by his efforts and was pret! exhausted at the end of the second . He reeponded gamely, however, for;thg next round, and won the sympathy of'a great many of the spectators by his pluck and endurance. Morris was very pughacious in the third round, and jabbed the ttsburg man re- peatedly on his sore nese with right and left. White responded wildly,:;and occasionally landed a good blow, which he was cheered, but it was it to ly that he could not last much longer, and the end came in a very few minutes, when Mor- ris forced him across the ring onto the ropes and rained blows upon his unprotect- ed head, upon which he finally fell, com- Pletely used up. ‘While he was hanging onto the rope, Mor- ris slugged him hard on the neck, and the audience became wild with excitement. There were cries of foul from all parts of the tent and the confusion became so great that the fight could not proceed. White was assisted to his seat and was barely able to hold up his head. Tho referee said that the fouling had been about equal, and, therefore, he would not recognize the lest claim of foul on the part of Morris. Inasmuch, however, as White refused to coptinue, he was compelled to award the fight to Morris. The last fight of the evening was that be- tween Jack Bolan of Cincinanti, but who has resided here for the past severaal months, and George Siddons of New Or- leans. This contest was, of course, the star attraction of the evening. The fight was announced to be one of ten rounds, Marquis of Queersbury rules, for a purse of $500 of- fered by the club, the loser to take one- fifth. Both men appeared to be in excellent condition, Bolan, apparently, being the finer trained. He was seconded by Fred Morris and George Phillips, while Jimmy Wolfe } and Len McBrady looked after the interests of the New Orleans man. The betting was even, give or take. The bout was undoubtedly the finest ex- hibition of sparring ever seen in this neigh- borhood. The audience was good natured, comparatively well behaved, and very en- thusiastic over the many fine points made by the contestants. It was apparent, long before the fight was over, that Bolan would win. He succeeded in knocking Siddons down in the tenth round, but the latter was “game” to the last. Referee Duffy declared Bolan the victor, end the decision was received with cheering and cries of approval. YESTERDAY'S RACING. Alexander Island.

Gen. Schofield’s Order Increasing the Namber of Pieces. Gen. Schofield issued several army orders today, of which the most pleasing to the army will be one which increases regimen- tal bands from sixteen to twenty pieces, Army men say that sixteen pieces are not sufficient to make a creditable appearance. Another order carries out the law, approved August 6, in relation to issuance of certain articles from the subsistence and quarter- master’s departments. It was found by the officers of these departments that regula- tions directed the issuance of some articles from one department which properly be- longed to the other. Another order adds to the regulations a provision directing commanding officers of posts, before forwarding charges for trial, to personally investigate them, and by in- dorsement on the charges certify that they have made such personal investigation, and state whether, in their opinion, the charge can be sustained. The provision allowing prisoners five’ days’ abatement each month on their terms is modified, so that this abatement may be forfeited in case of sub- sequent misconduct. a Catholic Clerical Changes. The following changes among the clergy of the diocese have been announced by Cardinal Gibbons, to take effect at the close of the retreat now being conducted at St. Mary's Seminary: ‘Rev. Edward A.

Hay, Who At- J. S. Mason Nominated by the Popu- Mste—Suicide of James A. Hamers- ley—Other Matters of Interest. Miss Minnie Brengle, who was so badly burned by the explosion of a lamp that she was using to heat her curling irons several deys ago, died at the home of her father, Henry Brengie, on King street, about 9 o'clock last night, as the result of her in- Juries. The fur eral of the late Joseph P. Clarke will take place from his late residence this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. R. E. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, of which he was a member, will attend the funeral in a body. Several days ago James Dudley, a well- known. colored men of this city. wrote a letter to Benoni Wheat, president of the Alexondria Water Company, threatening to take his life, together with the other offi- cials of the water company. Dudley is sup- posed to be crezy, and is now’a fugitive from justice, having escaped from the chain gang several weeks ago. The cendition of R. B. Hay, who attempt- ed to commit suicide at the Exchange and Ballard Hotel on Wednesday, an account of which appeared in The Star, remains un- changed. Since being found by the clerk of the hotel he has been in a comatose state. Drs. Wm. M. Smith and Wm. R. Purvis have remained constantly by his bedside and have done everything known to medical science to restore him to consciousness. He is being carefully nursed by a number of young men, many of whom are Masons. Mr. Hay has taken two degrees in the Ma- sonic order. While but little hope is enter- tained, there is still a chance of his re- covery. There is as yet no clue to the cause of his rash act, and it will probably remain a mystery. The report that he had been on a protracted spree is not true. He had been drinking but one or two days, and then not to any great excess. His brother, Senator James Hay of Madison county, and his mother are here at the hotel. . The populist convention, which met in this city yesterday, was but slimly attend- ed. Not more than twenty-five delegates, representing four counties, were present. J. 8. Mason of Fauquier was nominated for Congress as the candidate to oppose E. E. Meredith in the eighth district. The platform of the populist party was adopted in_a set of resolutions. E. K. O’Brien left for Oklahoma today to take a position in an engineer corps. The season for killing reed tomorrow. Prof. Edward Dunn has returned from St. George's Island. The funeral of Miss Resa Foley took place from her late residence on Washing- ton street this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Suicides seem to have become epidemic in this city, for there was another one last night, when James A. Hamersley jumped from the Norfolk Steamboat Company’s wharf about 10 o'clock. Mr. Hamersiey had been living unhappily with his wife for some time, and a few weeks ago she se- cured a divorce from him in one of the Washington courts. His two sons had been living with him and had just left him to go home a few minutes before he took his life. His body was recovered about a half hour after the fatal plunge, and Dr. Purvis, the coroner, was notified. Mr. Ham- ersiley has been for a number of years @ private watchman for several stores on King street, and at the same time con- ducted a small shop for repairing umbrellas, &c. He was a soldier in the confederate army during the late unpleasantness. ———_—_ X CLOSE CONTEST. Popular Vote for Dawson, but Well- ington Gets Delegates. The republican county convention of Montgomery county met at Rockville yes- terday at no), all thirteen of the election districts being fully represented. The con- test throughout the county in the primaries has been a close and exciting one on the lines of Wellington and anti-Wellington delegates. Mr. Thomas Dawson of Rock- ville had shown himself a strong candidate for Congress, and a large number of the delegates at the convention yesterday were there in his interest. The republican pri- maries had been the largest ever known in the history of the republican party, over 1,700 votes having been cast. Of this num- ber 764 had been cast for Wellington del- egates, $41 for Dawson and 112 for Mc- Donald. Mr. Dawson, therefore, had the popular vote, while the county, by nearly zu0 majority, had expressed opposition to the nomination of Mr. Wellington. While this was true as regards the popular vote, things were a little different when the con- vention met, and the contest was very close. On several test votes the results stood 33 Wellington,and 32 anti-Wellington. The Wellington fortes succeeded in organ- izing the convention, and elected J. Vance Lewis of Takoma chairman. By unanimous consent Mr. Uriah Griffith and Mr. Thomas C. Noyes were made secretaries of the con- vention. On the floor Gen. Allan Ruther- ford of Gaithersburg led the Wellington forces, while A. A. Braddock of Rockville did good work for Mr. Dawson. A motion by the latter that it was the sentiment of the convention that a Montgomery county man should be the congressivnal candidate this year was laid on the table by a vote cf 33 to 32. The vote was not entirely unexpected, al- though up to an hour of the time that’ the convention met it was supposed to stand 35 to 30 anti-Wellington. Three colored votes out of the Poclesville district had, however, been secured by the Wellington people, and the result was as stated. On other votes of the same character the re- sult was the same. Sixteen delegates were elected to cast the four votes of Montgom- ery county in the congressional convention to meet at Frederick on September 5. The list was picked out by the Wellington peo- ple, although many of the delegates chosen have anti-Wellington inclinations, and some few are said to be ardent Motter men. Just before adjournment Mr. Braddock moved that the delegation be instructed to vote for Mr. John Motter of Frederick county. The chair, however, refused to entertain the motion, and declared the convention ad- journed. It is stated, on good authority, that had the motion been put it would have been carried by a majority of three. The delegates selected were as follows: Allan Rutherford, J. Vance Lewis, E. C. DeLaud- er, J. F. Browning, A. C. Brown, John R. Mount, C. B. Murphy, L. Dwyer, J. F. Matthews, W. C. Dwyer, W. 4. H. Brown, John W. Case, John 8. Gilliss, John G. Eng- land, Capt. John McDonald, if.

Justices Mills and Taylor, who have been holding the sessions of the Police Court dur- ing the month, while Judges Miller and Kimball have been enjoying their vacation, were each preser.ted with a handsome floral representation of the scales of justice by the lawyers who practice in the court. Ap- propriate speeches were made by members of the ber, to which responses were made by the justices. PIERCE «=.

J., August 30, 1894. Without pressure, and, as a natural con- quence, without weariness, the District riflemen at Sea Girt are proceeding stead- ily to put themselves in condition for next week’s competitions. Yesterday's work was remarkably good, all conditions being duly ccnsidered, and today’s results are sev- eral per cent ahead of anything achieved during this week. Today the competitors have only been required to put in ten sbots each at 200 and 600 yards, but they had to make every possible point. No “sighting” shots were permitted, the idea being to put the marismen where they would be compelled to vork out their own salvation. Most of them did it very suc- cessfully. Five additioual members of the Georgia team errived last night, and, with their two predecessors, have been duly clasped to the borom of the D. C. team. The Georgia con- tingent now consists of C. Postell, C. 8. Richmond, H. C. Wilson, J. L. Nelson, H. Blunn, A. 8. Eichburg, and A. E. Shup- ne Se of tomorrow is expec . Cann, and perhaps Capt. Bern Gordon, with, possibly, two or three cthers. The sharpshooters from the far south are a first-class lot of enthusiasts, from whom highly creditable scores may ccnfidently be expected. t. W. E. Colladay is sore distressed. Before nature’s great searchlight had suc- ceeded in penetrating the curtains of cloud this morning the sergeant crawled out from under the good gray blankets loaned him by the state of New Jersey, and hurried down to the beach. He had threatened to do this more than once, but not until to- day did he carry his oft-avowed purpose irto effect. Three other Washingtonians— Corporal Kirk, Corporal Carleton and Pri- vate Leizear—moved beachward at about the same time. The main body of the de- tachment was at breakfast when Colladay came up the range in the most hurried sort of a hurry, having“on a line two large but “sad-eyed specimens of de- ceased weak fish. A score of queries as to the price of weak fish by the pound or oth- erwise brought forth protestations of hon- esty and never-swerving declarations as to the time, manner and pi of capture. The general affectation of unbelief was Kept up, however, in spite of everything reasonable the sergeant could say or do, but the victim was only a trifie disturbed until the restaurant chef put in his oar, 80 to speak. The question to be settled had reference to the style of cookery, which would best suit the fish. It was sugg>sted that boiling would be the proper mode of treatment, but the chef vetoed that propo- ee by saying: “You can’t boil them Mutual friends of the sergeant and the chef have, so far, managed to avert the pending hostilities. It was noticed by observant persons that some of the boys who were most insistent as to the an- tiquity of the sergeant’s catch were very anxious to get some of it at dinner. Gen. Ordway and Surgeon Gen. Hender- son are expected here Monday evening. Col. Theodore Mosher, the District’s ad- jutant general, will probably come into camp and take up temporary abode there- in, commencing on Saturday. —_—-.-— New Post Office Station.
