M., next Monday night the interesting ceremony of a son conferring the degres of master Ma- son on his father will take place. Mr. Wilbur S.

Darling of Monroe street, whose disappearance from home sevgral weeks ago, and his subse- qvent discovery in Baltimore, were noted in The Star at the time, has not been heard from for some time. jatives in Ana- ccstia are alarmed for his safety. After reaching Baltimore Clarence wrote to his mother, ing that he soon expected to find employment. Since that time nothing has been heard from him. Mr. E. H. Heineke. employed as a bridge carpents» by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Company, yesterday slipped into the river while at work on a wharf, near Gies- bero, and broke his right leg and several ribs. Despite his severe injuries he pulled himself from the water by catching hold of the wharf supports.

An Anacostlan, writing to The Star about a paragraph in Tuesday’s issue, in reference to a certain minister praying openly Sun- day for persons who had signed a petition for a liquor license, says the paragraph re- garding this incident was so worded as to inake some think that this minister was in favor of the liquor men getting a license. “This minister,” the writer says, “is one of the strongest temperance men of the communjty, and following the Scriptural in- junction to pray for our enemies, he prayed that these ‘irtemrerance’ men might have their eyes opened to see the error of their ways, and not that they might be granted a license, as was inferred from the paragraph referred to.” ——— FALLS CHURCH.

Church called up the question of water works for the town and desired to know if the town would grant a franchise for a term of years to a company for the construction of water works, provided the town decided it inadvisable to erect same at public ex- pense. He thought such a company could be organized, with sufficient capital to fur- nish the town with an ample supply of wa- ter.

Her left side is entirely paralyzed. Petitions are in circulation in Alexandria county asking the legislature to repeal the excise board bill and return to the old law, placing the question of granting or refus- ing liquor licenses in the county court from whence it was taken because of the refusal of the county court to grant licenses two years ago.

Though the work will be completed before, this school term is ended, it is very probhble that the building will not be occupied before next fall, so that it may have the gummer heat to dry it thoroughly.

From the London Daily ‘Yelegraph. The salaries received by Russian diplo- mats representing the great northern em- pire at foreign courts are not on nearly so large a scale as those enjdyed by her Brit- annic majesty’s representatives abroad, al- though they compare favorably with the rate of remuneration paid to the envoys of certain other European powers. The Russian ambassadors at Berlin, Vienna, Constantinople, London and Paris receive each 50,000 rubles per annum, while their colleague at the court of King Humbert has to be satisfied with the lesser sum of 40,000 rubles. The Russian ministers at Wash- ington, Tokio, Madrid and Pekin are each paid 50,000 rubles a year; the post at Te- heran is worth 25,000 rubles, and those at Athens, Brussels, The Hague, Copenhagen, Me: Munich and Stockholm 20,000 ru- bles each. The Russian ministers resident at Bucharest, Belgrade, Lisbon, Rio de Ja- neiro, and Stuttgart each receive 18,000 ru- bles; the special envoy to the vatican, 12,000 rubles; the ministers to Dresden and Cettinje, 10,000 rubles each, and those at Weimars and Darmstadt respectively 8,000 rubles.

It ia as hard work for some people to digest their dinner as it is for a normal man to walk ten miles. “After dinner rest a while.” This ts an old saying. It means that if after eating a heavy meal you try to do hard work you will exhaust all your energy. There will be none left for your stomach. Your stomash needs energy to work ust as your leg or arm dots, Sick people want energy. They seldom have Enough for thelr stomzci. Their digestion is out of order and they want to know the reason. It's simple enough as we have told it. What they ought to do is to save their stomachs from hard work until it is capable of doing it, just as they rest thelr tired backs by lying down. ‘this they can do by using artificially digested food. Shaker Digestive Cordial contains such food. Not only this, but it is capable of digesting other foods in the stomach. Shaker Digestive Cordial affords nourishment and es new energy as soon as ft is swallowed. Ordinary food first has to be digested. Shaker stive Cordial while creating new energy does not expend any. It gives the stomech no work to do. It will make thin people fat. Sick people are naturally thin. Getting thin is a sign of sick- ness. A person may be born thin, and naturally remain so. Such a one fs not necessarily sick.
