S OLD AGE PITIABLE? Not While Vigor and Zest in Living Laste, Bismarck, Gladstone and Holmes Ful Honor. of Years a They Keep Their Blood Well Stocked— Their Nerves Well Fed. Some people carefully disguise the fact. But a goat of paint on an old building only makes it smgrt; it doesn’t keep the rickety old stalr- from ereaking nor nake the framework stronger. What ts needed is fresh bricks and mortar. Fresh blood and new tissues are the building materials that tired human bodies need. Painc’s celery compound supplies all the elements for building up the worn-out, exhausted nerves aod tissues. One is never older than he feels. Many are young at 70, and the world is full of men and ‘Women who are old in heart and spirits at 30. Nothing “‘ages’” one like iliness. To keep young, keep well; keep the nerves calm, the blood ruddy, the system well fed.. And when the sudden attack ‘of fever or the heavy cold comes, the sturdy, because well-nourished, body ‘will resist and prevent calamitous results. All over the country there are hard-worked bust- ness men, and men in public offices, subjected to incessunt erfttefsm and ferrful nervous strain, who appreciate the saving power of Prof. Phelps’ re- markable discovery, Paine’s celery compound. In ‘the thousands of cases where overwrought brains ave at last refused the sleep that they so vitally needed, this great modern nerve nutriment has brought the happtest results. Multitudes of wo- men reduced in strength, half siek and on the road to becoming life-long invalids, have sent in heartfelt stories of their rapid gain in vigor after ® trial of Patne’s celery compound. “It takes years off their aching shoulders.” As the years go oa, the regular tick-tick of the heart and the rhythmic action of the digestive or- guns and the brain slow up and the strength must be economized. The tmportant organs need more frequent assistance end encouragement. Paine’s celery compound gives jugt the needed stimulus to digestion and assimilation that the system re- quires. It purifies the slowly moving blood of ‘any bed humor that its stagnant flow is apt to en- gender, and thus removes rheumatism, neuralgih, heart palpitation, nervous weakness, sleeplessness and troubles with kidneys, liver and stomach. It was a favorite remark of the famous Dr. Parr when 106 years old, that he had always taken care to beep his body well nourished. Pure blood and healthy activity of the nervous system makes & happy, hopeful, vseful old age: Paine's celery componad makes people well. TREATMENT OF ECZEMA AND SALT RHEUM.

The Laborers in a Pretty Constant State of Fear—Need of a New Hospital and Station. . ‘The appearance of the smallpox in: this city has more than demonstrated the ne- ceasity for a contagious hospital and quar- antine station, as well as for some strin- gent laws relating to the quarantine. For- tunately for the residents of this city, Health Officer Woodward has taken every precaution imaginable and has used heroic measures in his treatment of the cases of smallpox and varioloid, and it is due to his efforts, so many physicians say, that the disease did not become epidemic and do more damage than it has already done. In the matter of closing the schools” the health officer was very prompt, and not only did he close the buildings, but he had them thoroughly fumigated in order that any germs in them might be killed and the lives of the children protected. In_cases of varioloid the same stringent rules were applied as in genuine cases of smallpox, and the inspectors were called upon to diagnose many a case, the symp- toms of which were nothing like those of smallpox. In the houses where the patients were kept w: men guarded and are still on duty, day and night, to pre- vent the possibility of spreading th®-dis- ease. ‘While it is hoped there will not be any more cases, the Williams children may possibly have infected several persons, and the incubation period will not expire for a few days yet. When the diszase broke out here there was no quarantine sfation, nor were there eny quarantine laws to amount to any- thing, but what little law existed was utilized. Fortunately, most of the victims went voluntarily to the hospital and this pre- vented the spreading to some extent and assisted the authorities in stamping out the disease. A Quarantine Station. When Dr. Woodward saw ‘that an epl- demic was threatened he at once sct out to get a quarantine station and with the assistance of Poundmaster Einstein a little one-story dwelling near the workhouse was obtained. Besides this, there was a large stable on the ground, end it took but a short while to put up a temporary struct- ure for a disinfecting plant. With the buildings erected the necessary help, phy- sicians and laborers were goon obtained and a good quarantine service was soon in operation. The laborers employed were all colored men and with apparently little to do they anticipated a good time. They knew they would get plenty of good food and felt reasonably certain that the supply of whisky would come with it, but much to their surprise it was, as they called it, a “dry job.” To some of them this proved a drawback, but instead of doing without their toddy they visited some saloons or got whisky in some way, but they had to pay for it themselves. For a time this was all right and they did not complain. But when one of their number was taken sick a feeling of uneasiness crept over them and their desires were-such as were calculated to lead them from the station. They soon got over this scare, however, and all was well until there was a death in the little hospital in the poorhouse graveyard. Then their duties changed from an occa- sional ride through the city on a wagon and spending their time about the stove in their headquarters to grave digging and carrying the dead to their last resting places, and this came near causing a Wholesale desertion. A Gruesome Scene. The burial of one of the dead ones was to take place in Congressional cemetery, and was arranged so as to ocour after sun- down, when the friends of those in the city of the dead had all departed, and when the little funeral procession would cause no alarm, Dr. O'Malley had charge of the funeral. The men from the quarantine station were to accompany him. Attired in their rubber suits the men started from the dead house with the corpse. ‘The night was cold, aid the wind was blowing a gale. As the wagon moved over the road the doctor and colored men, with lanterns in hand, walked along, presenting an appearance calculated to cause fear to the superstitious ones who lived on the commons in sight of them. ‘The colored men objected a little, but the body was firally deposited in the grave, and the funeral party returned. ‘Buck” Parker, one of the colored men, made Dr. O'Malley feel a little timid by telling him of some experiences in the same neighbor- hood during the epidemic of 1873. “Just there, in that clump of bushes,” said the colored man, “we had a strange experience. A man had escaped from the hospital, and we found him there dancii in the snow. He had stripped himsel while delirious, arid was covered with blood from wounds made by the bushes.”” When this story was finished, the party proceeded, and before the hospital was reached the news of the death of another patient arrived. This death meant a fun- eral in potter’s field, and it also meant more trouble with the men. Then one of the colored men openly declared he would leave. “I ain’t scared,” he told the doctor, “but T’'se got to leave on ‘count of puss'nal cir- cumstances.”” Dr. O'Malley was then in a decidedly un- enviable position. He was there alone, so far as other doctors were concerned, and a@ wholesale desertion on the part of the colored men meant a great deal to him. He was puzzled to know just what to do. Finally, it dawned upon him that a treat might cause the graveyard scene to fade away from their memories, and once more they would be satisfied) With such an ending in view, the doctor sent out and got @ quart of “old rye,” and in a short time the men would have willingly buried both the live and dead occupants of the little hospital. At the Station. Dr. O'Malley is now back In the diph- theria and scarlet fever work, and sevcral ef the laborers have beer relleved. While in the smallpox service, Dr. O’Mal- ley and Dr. Elliott were required t> remain at the quarantine station when they were not actually in the service,and many nights of loneliness were experienced. In the dvc- tor’s headquarters there are two rooms. In the front room a steve, table and two chairs filled all the space, leaving no room for visitors, although they were seldom troubled with guests. The rear room con- tains two cots, a wash stand and cbalr, and only one person can dress in there at time. The colored men’s quarters are more com- modious, for in this building the cooking is done, and the large stove used for this purpose warms the building in the coldest weather. Around the whole outfit is a small wire fence, and smallpox flags on the posts are warning signs enough to keep off both pedestrians and drivers, When the smallpcx Is over, it Is the in- tention of Health Officer Woodward to have a small frame building constructed near the hospital, and in this he will put all the furniture, cooking utensils and other articles that have been used, both at the hospital and the quarantine station, so they may be used when the much talked of contagious disease hospital Is built, The site of the old Methodist burying ground, opposite the Congressional ceme- tery, has been offered as a site for the new hospital, and it is thought that this propo- sition is favored by some of c| ae the District —_—__ $5 In Gold is the Prize Fer third best loaf of bread.—Advt. mat Against a Rehearing.

Frank Richter Discusses the Recent ‘Action of the League. Frank 8. Richter, one of the promoters of the new American Base Ball Associa- tion, ~says regarding the blacklisting of Pfeffer, Buckenburger and Barnie for tak- ing part in the organization of the new body: “It is. amusing to read of the leaguers talking of anarchy in base ball. They ap- pear to forget that Talcott of New York, Auten and Kerr of Pittsburg and the Wag- ner Brothers of Washington in 1990 did precisely”\what we are endeavoring to do now. Then there are Von der Horst of Baltimore and Von der Ahe of St. Louis. In 1891 these. gentlemen were branded as wreckers by the amiable moguf® of the league, yet those worthies now sit down and break bread with the men who re- vtled them then. “These gentlemen speak glibly of terri- torial ‘rights’ as being the corner stone of the national game. They must mean “divine rights,’ for certainly, so far as I can learn, no earthly tribunal has turned over this glorious country to the magnates for their sole pleasure and profit. But let us see how they have respected the rights of otherg in the past. Did the league re- spect the association's ‘rights’ when they locatéd the Philadelphia club in this city in opposition to the Athletics, or when they permitted a league club to be estab- lished in New York in opposition to the Mets? .And when they wanted a desirable club to add to their circuit did they hesi- tate to rape the association? Their regard for the ‘rights’ of the party of the second Part to the national agreement was post- tively touching and in strong contrast with their present abhorrence of those who may, in endeavoring to establish a legitimate business, trench upon the field which they have monopolized so long and so profitably. Mr. Richter said that Buckenburger, Barnie and Pfeffer had done nothing dis- honorable. “Mr. Barnie,” he said, “inform- ed the Louisville club that he would not renew his contract for 1895, and that he Proposed to join the new organization three weeks before the close of the season. As an evidence of Barnie’s fair dealing it is only necessary to state that after he had given notice of his.intentions to join forces. with the association he disposed of Menafee, Grim and others, for whom he realized $6,000. But for these sales the Louisville club, would not have been able to pay its players’ salaries. As for Buck- enburger, he was not approached until three days after he had been dismissed by the Pittsburg club. Nor was Pfeffer brought in until after he had been turned down by the New York club.” Mr. Barnte said: “My contract with the Louisville club expired September 30, 1894. October 1 1 started east. When I reached New York 1 was approached by numerous Persons interested in the new association and asked to join it. 1, however, made no promises: till my engagement with Louis- ville was concluded. 1 told President Stucky of what 1 had heard. I have placed my case in the hands of attorneys, and will bring q suit for damages for con- spiracy, per@ecution and defamation of character. 1 think before we are through with this thing somebody will smart a bit.” ax-Manager Buckenburger is not yet pre- pared to state just what action he intends to take in regard to his suspension. He has put the matter in the hands of his lawyers. He says that but for the action of the league he could have had the Toron- to franchise, und he values this at $7,000. It is improbable that the league as a whole can be sued for damages, but it Is known that several of the board have money, and if a conspiracy can be proved Buckenburger will proceed to collect. Pfeffer says: “I cannot see that Hart, Byrne and others have any right to ques- tion my intentions and business any more than I would have to question theirs. My actions are plain. Here, I believe, is a chance to make money, and why should the league presume to refuse me the op- portunity? I shall consult a good lawyer.” The National League's virtual demand to Pfeffer to make a submissive peace and pledge or be boycotted forever is generally denounced in Chicago. FOOT BALL SCHEDULE.

Shore of Syracuse, N. Y., who is in Cleveland, has telegraphed his assistants to use every effort to secure evidence against “Bob” Fitzsimmons on the charge of causing the death of “Con” Riordan for the inquest tomorrow. One of the physi¢ians who were present at the autopsy on Riordan says that instead of only one blood clot on the brain three were found, any one of which would have caused death. Richard Rior- dan of San Francisco has sent word to forward the body of his brother. Catholic clergymen refused to conduct Riordan’s funeral and denied the body a_ resting place in consecrated ground. They said that Riordan was not in good standing in the Catholic Church. The Syracuse common council aimed a blow at boxing in that city Monday night. Alderman Hill at the council meeting pre- sented a resolution prohibiting any pugil- istic exhibition or any form of pugilism in that city. The matter was referred to the corporation council.

Gumbert against the Chicago Base Ball Club comes up in the United States court in Pittsburg today. Gumbert seeks to recover damages from the Chicago club on the ground that the organization by refusing to allow other league clubs to sign him kept him out of employment. It is the opinion of attorneys that Gumbert has a very strong case, but they all admit that Buckenberger would have a still stronger one should he con- clude to institute proceedings. 2 Put the Talent Ahead.

Seton, at Jersey City, the American flag played a conspicuous part. “I love America and the American people,” sald the archbishop to Mgr.

On the Ist day of July, 1853, David Pat- terson. was fovnd dead in a room in the old Federal building, corner of 7th and F streets: northwest. There was no next of kin, and as the old man died without making a will the police took charge of the money found upon him, which aggregated $656.10, and turned it over to the property Payment Pelerk, who subsequently turned it over to the .Commissioners: of the District, and they afterward turned it over to the treas- urer of the United States, to be placed to the credit of the policemen’s relief fund. Scmetime after that, one Thomas Kurtz, through an attorney named Tucker, ap- plied for letters of.administration on the estate, claiming that Patterson was in- debted: to him for services. The letters. were granted, and the attorney entered suit against the District for a return of the money. Judgment was granted in fa- vor of the petitioner, and subsequently Ccngress provided for its payment out of the police relief fund. The auditor of the District has never satisfied the judgment, and for this reason the attorney of Kurtz appeared before the Commissioners yes- terday and urged the payment. Audi- tor Petty was sent for, and he explained that there had never been sufficient funds in the relief fund to pay the judgment, and he did not like to take the money be- longing to the orphans’ and widows of dé- ceased policemen for the purpose.- The matter was referred to the attorney for the District, with the request that he in- frem the Commissioners of their obligation to pay the judgment in preference to other claims. . ey .THE PEG MOVED. Engine House Being Built Narrower at One End. The attention of the Commissioners has been called to a serious condition of af- fairs in the building of the new engine house or Maryland avenue northeast be- tween 13th and 14th streets. Acting Inspector of Buildings Brady while making a tour of inspection on the work now under contract for the District discovered that the lot upon which the new engine house was being built was tour feet narrower at its rear than it was infront. ‘The original plot showed the lot to be of equal width at both ends. Mr. Brady expressed his astonishment, and asked the contractor, Columbus Thomas, how it was that such an error was made. ‘The reply was that he had simply followed the lines given him by the surveyor for the District. Mr. Brady ordered that all operations at once cease, until he could investigate the matter. He called ujon Surveyor Forsyth, and directed him to make a resurvey of the lot immediately. ‘This was done, and Mr. Forsyth reported that he had made no mistake in @his original survey, but that one of his pegs had been moved four feet. This shows gross negligence on the part of some one, and. the Commissioners haye indorsed Mr. Brady's orders for suspending the work, and have ordered a thorough investigation into the fact es ASSOCIATED CHARITIES. ‘The Second Subdivision Holds an Im- portant Meeting.
