A concert was given last evening at 6 o’clock at Fort Myer by the Sixth United States Cavalry Band, now stationed there, which amply repaid thcse who undertook the trip to the fort to hear them. John Luch- singer acted as chief musician, and the men under him justified all the predictions which have been made of their ability. A nuriber of spectators from the city were among the crowd. “Almas Temple,” a march by Boegeholz, was the first number, the piece being dedicated to the local or- ganization of the well-known order of the Mystic Shrine. A number of light and pretty numbers were rendered, and one or two heavier selections received merited ap- plause. The band made a fine appearance and impressed those who heard it in a very favorable manner. — The Golden Cross.

Progressive Work Among Lutherans Across the Creek—School Build- ings for Next Year. It is understood that certain heirs of Beatty, one of the original proprietors of the ground on which Georgetown is built, are about to lay claim to certain portions of the Presbyterian graveyard, which, though abandoned as a burial place ten years ago, still contains, on an estimate, xubout 2,000 unclaimed bodies, some of which were interred as far back as the revolutionary days. It is said that the lots claimed come with- in the boundaries of the original Methodist Episcopal reservation, which became an annex of the Presbyterian cemetery proper. The row of two-story bricks on the 4th street line of the reservation, known for many years as the “twenty buildings,” was constructed by Scotch Presbyterians en- gaged in the building of the Capitol and ether public buildings during the early in- fancy of the republic. ; The big headstone of “John Haydock, stenecutter,” in the cemetery, with its curious epitaph, was a block designed to go in the Capitol construction. Haydock was arong the chief cutters on the work, and on his death this last stone he had been en- gaged on was fashioned into a monument for him by brother workmen. The epitaph had been previously written by him, the story says. Progressive Work. Under Rey. Mr. Billheimer’s leadership @ new spirit has taken possession of the Lutheran congregation here and every member is working toward a progressive end. The attendance has increased al- most at every service through the new interest that. has been awakened. The young and old are alike working. For nearly twenty years the congregation hss lain dormant, but a revivification began with Mr. Billheimer’s advent. It is his first pastorate. Improvements are now be- ing added to the church and an evidefice of the general interest manifested in the movement is shown ip the fact that every available member does something daily to- werd the completion of the work. Some are excavating and painting, others dec- orating and placing a new furnace in posi- tion. The pastor is foremost among the work- men. With such energy and united inter- est displayed on every side, there is no doubt but that the Lutheran Church here will soon exercise as wide an influence as _any of the older ones. New School Baildings. All the public schools here are being made ready for the opening on the 23d instant. Several will be materially differ- ent in interior appearance from last year. The new O street building, between 30th and 31st, wfll have new furniture through- out. The supervising principal's office will be located there, leaving the Curtis building mcnopolized by the High school pupils. ‘This removal became a necessity. The new high school project is only sleep- ing, and will be awakened early during the coming congressional session. Last year there was a crowding here, and the new term promises to place many more on the relis than can be conveniently accommo- dated. The O street building, which js a leased house, will take in about 250 pupils of the higher grades. It is splendidly located and well adapted to school purposes, havy- ing been previously used as a place of pri- vate instruction. There is an ample play ground attached. This house will probably be abandoned on the appearance of the new building. it has been leased for but one year at a monthly rent of $83.33. Was Not His. The antiquated carriage stationed on the canal road near the Chain bridge and which, on account of {ts primitiveness, has attracted considerable attention, Mr. A. B. Grunnell says never belonged to his father-in-law, Mr. Vanderwerken, the own- er of the stage line which finally developed into the Washington and Georgetown Rail- rcad Company, but came from Winchester, where it was the property of one of the old families. The Vanderwerken carriage is still, he says, in possession of the family at their country place in Virginia. . ——. FANCIULLE AND STERRETT. Why the Lone Star March is Delayed in Publication. One of the sad features of the Holt will case is the particularly embarrassing disap- pointment which Prof. Fanciulli, the leader of the Marine Band, is undergoing. Some time ago he wrote a brilliant march dedi- cated to Col. Sterrett, which it is his inten- tion before long to have published in artist- ic form. For the title page Prof. Fanciulll had set his heart on having a large, almost life-size, half-tone photograph of Col. Ster- rett’s Napoleonic physiognomy. The pro- fessor has several times of late seen the colonel and besought him to go at once and face the camera like a brave and hand- some man. But for some reason the colonel has not complied. For one thing, he has been busy. Today Prof. Fanciulli again saw Col. Sterrett and asked him to go at énce and be photographed. He said his march was all ready to be published. Its harmonies, nicely attuned, all lay dormant awaiting the magical and mascottish envoy of his face to introduce it to the world. “My march is dead, dead, dead,” said Fanclulli, ‘without your picture on it.” A look of agony overspread the face of Col. Sterrett, and for a moment he hesi- tated. His rare sense of diplomacy came to his rescue, however, as he replied, most kind]; fy dear boy, I'd do it in a minute if it wasn’t for this last trouble that has come upon me. You see I can’t afford to have my face monkeying around on the title page of a piece of gay music just at this time, Excuse me for a season.” SS QUEEN OF THE BAY. The Baltimore Steamer Alabam: Easily Outfooted by the Newport News Passengers coming from Norfolk and Old Point Comfort last right on the Newport News were treated to a beautiful sight. About 7 o'clock the speedy Alabama of the Baltimore Bay line left Old Point wharf about five minutes ahead of the Newport News, bound fcr Baltimore. The Newport News started after the Alabama at her regular schedule rate of speed, and over- hauled her at Back river light house, a dis- tance of about fifteen miles from Old Point. From this point on the Newport News forged rapidly ahead of the Alabama, and continued to increase her lead until the mouth of the Potomac was reached, leay- ing the Baltimore steamer about’ seven miles to the rear on the straightaway run of sixty-seven miles. No effort was made by Capt. Geoghehar of the Newport News to test the limit of the speed of his steam- er, for he knows the Washington and Nor- folk Steamboat Company is opposed to racing. —_—_——.—__ ~ A Delightful Trip. The trip to Norfulk on Saturday on the steamer City of Richmond promises to be one of the most delightful of the season. ‘The vessel will leave her dock at 6 o'clock in the evenitig, and will reach Norfolk about 8:30 in the morning, stopping at Fortress Monroe. After arriving in Nor- folk, the boat will proceed out to the capes, giving passengers a four-hour sail on the Atlantic and calling at Norfolk for passengers who desire to spend the day there at 6 in the evening. Returning, will reach Washington at 8:30 Monday morn- ing.

The proceedings of the Federation of Labo- last night were ful! of interest to the large number of craftsmen represented in the body. Delegates from thirty-three or- ganizations were in attendance. President McHugh occupied the chair. The credentials of the newly elected dele- gates from the Fresco Painters and Car- penters' Assembly and the Pioneer Laun- dry Assembly were received, and the dele- gates were admitted and seated. The committee, which was appointed at the request of Mr. N. Auth, to call on him and see if the difficulties between him and the members of some of the societies of organized labor could rot be adjusted, re- ported that they had not succeeded in mak- ing a satisfactory arrangement. The credentials of the delegates from the Steam Fitters’ Association, a new organiza- tion, who asked admission to the federa- tion, were referred to the Plumbers’ Union. The plumbers objected_to the admission of the steam fiiters on the ground that the charter of the plumbers gave them the privilege to work as steam fitters, and that the latter are now working more hours and for less pay than the plumbers charge for the sam2 class of work. The plumbers are expected to make a report on the sub- es at the next meeting of the Federa- tion. A report was submitted stating that non- union cement workers are being employed in laying a floor at the 4% street power house of the Metropolitan Railway Com- peny, and a committee was appointed to call on Superintendent Faulkner and ask him to give the work to union men. Anrouncement wes made that Rev. Alex- ander Kent will preach Sunday morning next at Typographical Temple on the ‘Im- prisonment of Eugene V. Debs and Other Officers of the American Railway Union.” An invitation from Mr. Kent to the mem- bers of the Federation to attend the serv- ice was accepted. There was a great deal of talk in refer- ence to the action of the Marine Band re- garding the Labor day parade, and Prof. Fanciulli came in for much criticism; but no decisive course was adopted, as the plate printers and plasterers stated that each would have a report to submit on the sub- ject at the meeting of the Federation, Tues- day next. Announcement was made that a meeting of the Labor day conference for the pur- pose of winding up its affairs will be held next Sunday. The Paper Hangers. At the meeting of the Paper Hangers’ As- sociation last night announcement was made that the new price list has been ac- cepted by the employers, and that there is no prospect of any trouble in reference to the matter. ————— BENNING CITIZENS. Several Matters Which Came Up for Discussion. Te financial secretary was the only officer absent when Vice President Mew- shaw called the Benning Citizens’ Associa- tion to order last night, and after minutes of last meeting were read and approved the road committee, as well as the com- mittee on education and the railroad com- mittee, reported progress. The auditing committee was unable to make a final report owirg, as Mr. Boland said, to sickness or indisposition on the part of the financial secretary. Mr. N. Keyser said that Miss Fairley, who is a member of the association, had made complaint to him that her horse had become frightened on several occasions owing to carelessness on the part of gun- ners in discharging firearms from the Ben- ning bridge, and also from the causeway leading up to the bridge, and she wanted the aid of the asscciation in causing the dangcrous practice to be stopped. Officer Boland said complaint had been made to the pclice, and the matter was being at- tended to, which was accepted as satisfac- tory by the association. The president of the association said he had been requested to ask the co-operation of the Benning Citizens’ Association, as well a3 of the Northeast Washington Citi- zens’ Association, in an endeavor to have the Commissioners recommend the pur- chase by Congress of Graceland cemetery for a public park. The cemetery is now being rapidiy depopulated of its dead, and since Northeast Washington, and, in fact, this whole section of the city, is poorly equipped with public breathing places, he thought the two associations should work tegether and indorge the project. On mo- tion it was so ordered, and the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Association is to be notified that the Benning Association is ready and willing to co-operate with it in the reclamation of the Potomac flats, or of any other work of a putlic nature for the benefit of this section. Concluding arguments were then heard on the subject of “manual training in the public schools,” but owing to the absence of one member things were not nearly so lively as they might have been. Mr. France gave it as his opinion that it hurt the men who work in the trades. Mr. Thos. E. Clark said the system had several good features, but that manual training as now taught makes a fool of the pupil. He thought Prof. Voorhees, if present, would gladly retract the language he used at the last meeting. Mr. Mewshaw said we should work for equal and exact justice for all. He said he thought the panacea for many of the wrongs that seem to beset the pathway of labor would be found in Gen. Coxey’s ron-interest-bearing bond scheme, which he heartily indorsed. After some other remarks on the subject he gave out the monthly topic for discussion for Sep- tember—“The Abolition of Capital Punish- ment,” and on motion the evening of Sep- tember 24 was set aside for its discussion, after which the meeting adjourned. THE OWNER OF THE RING. ©. Caseonove Henderson Lost the Jewel Found cn Bull Run’s Ficld. There was an account in yesterday's Star of the finding of a ring in the Deep Cut on the second battlefield of Manassas by a young man named Laws Spencer, who lives in that vicinity. The ring contained the name “O. C. Henderson,” and bore the inscription, “One of the twenty-nine—V. M. L, July 4, 1859." Gen. Shipp of the Virginia Military In- stitute was in the class of 1859, which con- sisted of twenty-nine members, and re- membered Mr. Henderson as being a class- mate. The Star has discovered that the original owner of the ring 1s alive and well and will probably be made happy by the restoration of his long lost property. He is Mr, O. Casenove Henderson, who is well known in this city and in’ Alexandria, whero ko resides, on Pitt street. He is a civil engineer and is now employed on the new railroad running from Fredericksburg into the neck of Virginia. His friends will communicate with him and he will doubt- less soon see Mr. Spencer and wear the ring again. —_-¥—._—_ Mrs. Hoester’s Sudden Death. Mrs. Hoester, wife of August Hoester of the bureau of statistics, Treasury Depart- ment, was found dead at their residence, 2217. 15th street northwest, by their only son on his return from school yesterday afternoon. She was about fifty-three years old, and was in apparent good health when ber husband left home in the morning. The position in which she was found would in- dicate that she was stricken with apoplexy while preparing dinner. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. ——__ Mrs. Rebecca Evans Dend. Rebecca Evans, the sister of Mrs. Perry Car3on, died at the residence of the latter Tuesday afternoon shortly after 2 o’clock. She had been an invalid for nine months, under the care of Dr. Robert Rey- burn. Mrs. Evans is the fourth sister of Mrs. Carson to die within four years. She was fa woman of fine character, and was highly thought of by all who knew her. Mrs. Evans left a daughter and five grand- children to mourn her loss. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock from the residence of Mrs. Carson at Ivy City. The interment will be in Har- monial cemetery. ee The Star is in receipt from Robert Beall, 495 Pennsylvania avenue, of the North American Review for September. ee Mrs. Low Rates to G. A. R.

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CITIZENS Boundaries of the Association Discussed at Last Night's Mesting. Express Companies WHUEDeliver North of Florida Avenue—Other Matters That Received Attention. The regular monthly meeting of the Co- lumbia Heights Citizenst Association was held at St. Stephen’s pagish hall, 1ith street near Kenesaw avenue, last evening. President M. A. .Ballinger. presided, and about the most important business trans- acted was the extension of the boundaries of the territory covered by the associa- tlon so as to Include Holmead Manor. To do this the limits of the association were extended from 14th street and Whitney avenue to Spring road, thence east to Brightwood avenue. + The takivg in of Holmead Manor lea to a suggestion that the citizens of Mt. Pleasant be made eligible to membership, and Mr. G. M. Husted gave notice of an amendment to the constitution which will make eligible to membership in the asso- ciation taxpayers and residents not only in the territory of the association, but also all those in the territory adjacent to the asscciation’s. President Ballinger explained that the Cclumbla Heights Association had no wish or intention of encroaching upon the terri- tory of its sister assoclation, that of Mt. Pleasant, but as it was said that residents of Mt. Pleasant desired to become mem- bers of the Columbia Heights Association, it would perhaps be well to amend the constitution so as to permit them to do so. Chairman J. K, Eppley reported from the special committee of reduced express and telegraphic rates that two express com- panies had agreed to deliver north of Florida avenue and south of Spring road at clty rates, and it was probable that the telegraph companies and other express companies would give the section the same advantages. The association's appreciation of the granting of reduced express rates was voiced in a resolution, and the company to first make the reduction was recommended to the patronage of the residents of that section. It was decided to distribute a circular calling attention to the matter and repeating this recommendation. Chairnan H. H. Bergmann of the special committee on fire alarm boxes reported that the following boxes had been placed in position: Eighty-three, at Superior and Ontario avenues; 85, at 15th and Chapin streets; 86, at 14th and Binney streets; 812,at Sth street and Kenesaw avenue; 81 street and Howard avenu gine house, on 14th street Lydecker streets; 821, at 7th street and Whitney avenue; 823, at 7th and Steuben streets, and 825, at 7th and Irving streets. The committee desired the erection of two additional boxes, but President Ballinger stated that Superintendent Miles would recommend the erection next year of ten more, and, at his suggestion, the matter was left to Mr. Miles. Upon the motion of Mr. L. H. Meyers, the following residents of Holmead Manor were eleeted to membership: W. A. Pate, Victor Anderson, J. Granville Meyers, jr., Dr. R. E. L. Wiltberger, B. Frank Meyers, Dr. William A. Lyon, H. H. Pechin, George W. Rawlings, R. Thomas Robinson, Charles G. Porter and Arthur B. Cushman. Upon the motion of Secretary Simmons the following were also elected to member- ship: Mrs. John G. Judd, Morel Marean, P. B. S. Pinchback, Pitman Pulsifer, Dr. C. N. Stowell, D. W. Funk, C. R. Willey, Wm. Small, G. W. Moss, P. H. Christian, Geo. W. Dickey, W. H. Saunders and D. W. Bal- linger. Mr. John R. Gisburne, from the commit- tee appointed to confer with the postal au- thorities relative to the establishinent of a@ street railway system, reported that he had addressed letters to Postmaster Wil- lett and the second assistart posunaster general, and had been assured “y them that they would do everything possible to establish the system. “he matter was now one of experiment in other cities, the com- mittee was told, and upon the success of those experiments depended the establish- ment of the system h —_—_.__ WITH 1,800 VoLTs. s The Grand Pre nt of the Electrical Workers Has a Narrow Escape. Electricians, not only in Washington, but throughout the country, will be inter- ested to learn the particulars of a remark- ably narrow escape from death had a’few days ago by Mr. H. W. Sherman, the grand president of the National Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, whose biennial con- vention, as already stated in The Star, meets In this city in November. The det: ils of the accident are given in a letter to the members of Local Union, No. 26, Electrical Workers, of this city, and are as follows: Mr. Sherman, who has been in the, em- ploy of the Rochester, N. Y., Gas and Electric Company for the past fourteen years, was at work untying some wires on the roof of a shed at the power house about 10:45 a.m. one day last week, when in some way, which is unaccountable to Mr. Sherman, he received a full shock of from 1,800 to 2,000 volts, and which render- ed him unconscious, and to all appearances dead, for nearly ten minutes. Mr. Sherman was seen to fall heavily to the reof by Superintendent Redman of the company and several of the employes, who were waiting for Mr. Sherman to complete the job he had undertaken. Two of the men immediately climbed to the roof and picked up the rigid form of the unfortu- naté man and passed it down to the ground. The work of resuscitation was at once begun In accordance with directions pre- viously given by the company in case of accidents of this sort, and which instruc- tious are similar to those used in reviving @ person who has been drowning. At the expiration of six minutes Mr. Sherman began to show signs of life, and shortly after spoke, gradually reviving, until he was able to be taken to his home. Mr. Sherman is suffering with a severely burned arm, which is the only apparent re- suit of the accident. In speaking of the affair, Mr. Sherman said he was sure there was no bare wire at the place where he received the shock, and he is very positive that in some unaccountable way his body made a bridge and short-circuited the wires throvgh the insulation. Mr. Sherman is now rapidly recovering and expects to be in Washington at the convention and to preside over its delibera- tions until his successor shall be elected. —_——_—_ The Late Samucl Yorks AtLee. Samuel Yorke AtLee, whose death was announced in yesterday's Star, was born at Philadelphia January 4, 180). He was ad- mitted to the Philadelphia bar March 4, 1829, and was at the time of his death the senior member of the Philadelphia bar and an old member of the bar of Washington, D.C. He resided in Michigan from 1836 to 1844, where he held the office of secretary of the senate. He had lived in this city since 1844, and was librarian of the Treas- ury Department, trustee of public schools and member of the old common council, of which he was for a time president. He re- sided for several years in San Francisco, Cal., where he edited an Odd Fellows’ Journal. Mr. AtLee was prcminent in the Masonic fraternity of Washington, having been dep- uty grand mester in 1849 and worshipful master of Federal Lodge, No. 1. The funeral will take place at Lee's at quarter to 2 o'clock tomorrow. The re- inains will be buried in tho Congressional cemetery. —_._—_ Boom in the Iron Market. A canvass of the more prominent deal- ers in Cleveland, Ohio, shows that the phenomenal boom in the iron market con- tintes in all departments of the trade. The dealers state that there has been no such activity and demand in the market for many years. Pig iron is selling at $17 a ton, and steel billets at $24 a ton, with an advancing tendency. There is an enormous demand for structural iron and electric street rails. The mills are running night and day at their utmost capacity. ES Professors of Dancing. The American Scciety of Professors of Danzing assembled in annual session at Saratoga, N. Y., yesterday. The opening address was made by President M. B. Gil- bert of Portland, Me. Following the dis- posal of routine business, the professors practiced new dances. AMUSEMENTS, “The Black Crook.”"—Manager Allen in presenting to the amusement-loving pub- Me of this city the grand spectacular le- gendary drama, “The Black Crook,” is exceeding any similar production in the history of the American stage. For a whole year eight performances a week cf this magnificent spectacle were given at the Academy of Music, in New York city, which was crowded at every presentation by an audience of over 3,000 persons. A very attractive feature of the newly-re- vived “Black Crook” is the children’s bal- let. Then there are three grand ballets and the famous French dancers, who cre- ated such a furore in Gotham. There are besides over sixty people engaged in the play. The scenic display is really wonder- ful. The transformation scene in ihe last act is a revelation of splendor and daz- zling brilliancy. Of the specialty perform- ers from abroad, there are Rexo and Reno, from the Circus Cisinelli, St. Petersburg; the French dancers, and*three premiere dancers, who made a remarkable success at the Alhambra, London. ‘The cuartet of children, who are in the children’s ballet, are from Vienna.

The regular Thursday night trip of the Macalester will be made tomorrow evening at 6:30. The same boat will also run Fri- day and Saturday nights, and, as the end of the season is drawing very close, it is expected that the number of those who take advantage of these last opportunities for a pleasant sail on the river will be very large. The evenings at this time of the year are very well suited for dancing, and this exceedingly pleasant way of pass- ing away an evening is much enjoyed by all who take the trips. Schroeder’s orches- tra will furnish the music for the dancing, besides rendering a number of selections on the down trip. _ The last Thursday trip of the steamer Samuel J. Pentz to Chapel Point will be made tomorrow, that boat leaving at 9:45 and stopping at Alexandria. This is the last mid-weekly trip of the season, and Capt. Randall proposes to make it a per- fect success in every way. Everything will be in running order on the grounds, and arrangements have been made to ac- commodate one of the largest crowds of the season. The same boat will also make a trip Sunday. The present season at Bay Ridge will close Monday next, September 9, after a prosperous business, covering almost the entire time that this resort was open, from June 8 up to this date. The reduction of rate from $1 to 75 cents for adults and 50 cents to 40 cents for children has been the means of largely increasing travel to this popular resort on the Chesapeake bay. A delightful excursion was given by the Outing Club of the Metropolitan Epworth League Labor day to Indian Head, the organization turning out about fifty strong to do honor to the ccecasion. The steamer Bartholdi was chartered for the occasion, and after a stop had been made at Colt's Landing for refreshments the party proceed- ed to Indian Head, where the second atop was made. Here Lieut. Mason, the com- mandant, received the excursionists and conducted them over the grounds, explain- ing everything in a most satisfactory man- ner. The trip home was made in the moon- light, and was enlivened with vocal and instrumental music. Mr. E. S. La Fetra acted as chairman of the outing committee, and he was ably assisted by the remainder of the committee. Mr. M. G. Emery, Mrs. D. La Fetra, Mr. T. W. Talmage, Mrs. ‘Wetmore and Dr. and Mrs. McCarthy chap- eroned the party. ———_—— Funeral of Mrs. Abell. ‘The funeral of Mrs. Violet A. Abell took place this morning from the Church of the Immaculate Conception. The interment Was at Glenwood cemetery. The pallbear- ers, grandchildren of the deceased, were Messrs. W. Burns Dalton, Frank H. Beall, Thomas Riley, William Riley, Tabor Quinn and Eugene Dewant. Mrs. Abell was the wife of the late John B. ‘Al register of wills in St. Mary’s county, Md.

LANSING, Troy, N. ¥. FREE TRANSPORTATION. Most Street Railways Extend Courte- - sies to the Police. The police are now permitted to ride on almost every line of street cars In the city, when in uniform, and the police officials fay that this courtesy on the part of the several roads is of great assistance to the officers. Especially is it the case with the efficers when they have to attend court from outlying precincts, for it has the ef- fect of keeping the officers off their beats a much shorter time than if they had to walk, and in this way it Is claimed the pub- lic in general is greatly benefited. The last road to furnish free transportation was the electric branch of the Metropolitan road. Policemen who ride on the Washington and Georgetown railroad are required to give their names to the condvctors, while on the other roads their uniform is sufficient. The only roads on which the officers are not permitted to ride free are the Belt and Eckington and Soldiers’ Home roads, al- end this necessarily saves the company a from time to time. It is thought by the officials of the de- partment that the presence of officers on the cars is a protection to the passengers, and also to the roads. A small boy intend- irg to jump on a car will no doubt become frightened off at the sight of an officer, and in this way the maiming, and perhaps kill- ing, of some of the youths may be avoided, and this necessarily gives the company a lawsuit. In most large cities the right to permit firemen and policemen to ride free is in- corporated in the charters of the roads granted by the cities. This condition of effairs exists in Chicago, where, it is said, it is impossible for a company to get a charter unless this privilege is incorporated in it. In some cities the officers, and espe- cially detective officers, are required to show their cards. SS Death of David P. Moore. _ ‘The death of Mr. David P.

The Evils of Tea and Coffee Drinking have become apparent throughout the civil- ized countries. The medical profession has thrown its weight of authority against the practice, and frequently referred to the baneful results occasioned by. the free use of these articles as a beverage. Every con- simer should realize that coffee is not an alimert but a medicament, possessing a powerful active principle or alkaloid known as “caffein,” which produces serious de- rangements of the digestive organs and the nervous system. Dyspeptics, nervous persons and all those suffering from indigestion, insomnia and general debility should try the great hy- gienic Kneipp Malt Coffee, which is abso- lutely free from all injurieus substances.
