Medical sclenco has tavght us how real ard terrible the suffering coming from nervous debility, how interse the unhappiness caused by sleeplessness, neuralgia, dyspepsia, melancholia, exhaustion or vigorleas con- dition of mind and body. There is a sure specific for all these ills; it has been tried by thousanis, and has cured them; it will cure you. Read what & few of the sisterhood of the suffering have said. ‘Bo szsured thetr words are genuine and heartfelt: Mrs. Lulu Gleason, Onalarka, Wis: “For ten years I have been the victim of nervous prostration ard 1ervous dyspepsia, I have taken one box of Dr. Charcot’s Kola Nervina Tablets, and have gsined fivo pounds. That is nothing to the physical relief experienced. I am better and happier than I have been for years,’ Mrs. J. L. Hamilton, 141 Congress st., Portland, Me.: “The use of Dr. Charcot's Kola Nervine ‘Tablets has proved very beneficial. I had tried al- moat every known remedy tor nervousness and in- somnia without relief. The Tablets are a great boon.” Mrs. H. B. Rogers, Medford, Mass: “Having tried many remedies recommended as tonics, I have found Dr. Chmcct's Kola Nervine Tablets superior to all others, inasmuch as they prevent futigue and remove every vestige of nervousness. No mcther having the care of a family can afford to be without them.” Mis. Amelia Reynolds, 2901 Blaisdell ave., Minnéapolts: ‘From belng a thin, emaciated, ner- vous, sleepless woman, I would not have believed I could, in so brief a time, have been changed to a bright, cheery nd healthy woman, with an in- crease of fifteen pouads in weight, but such is the fact, and to Kola Nervlue Tablets belongs all the Edward Everett Hale, D.D., the fumous author of “The Man Without a Country," writes: “I am assured by a careful inquiry among Jead- ing physicians ord personal friends who have tried {t—and in whom I have the utmost confidence— that Dr. Charcot's Kola Nervice Tablets ure in- valuable in iisownia and all nervous diseases. “EDW.

The triple-screw cruiser Minneapolis has just been docked and cleaned at Taranto, Italy, and it was found that the ship’s bot- tom was badly pitted with rust holes, and that many of the rivet heads were so badly corroded that they flew off under the hands of the. calkers’ tools. This is at- tributed to defective paint, as the Minne- apolis was docked last August at Norfolk, and, under ordinary conditions, should not have shown this amount of corrosidn. AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Bookmakers at St. Asaph Placed Under Arrest, A Test Case to Be Made—Cases in the Police Court—A Ship Com- pany Chartered. The expected arrests of the men who have been conducting the foreign books at the St. Asaph pool room in Alexandria county were made yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock by Sheriff Palmer. A small crowd was at the pool room yesterday, as the bet- tors were afraid they might be taken into custcdy as witnesses. The arrests were made and the proceed- ings disposed of so quietly that most of those present knew nothing about it. Com- monwealth Attorney Johnson and his as- istent, Leonard Marbury, were both on hand, and Messrs. Edmund Burke and 8. G. Brent were there to look after the in- terests of the race track. The warrants were served singly on L. Bargue, A. C. Bowser, John Conroy and R. M. Lacy. The men were notified in the Pcol room that they were wanted in the private office of Mr. J. M. Hill, in the club house, and there the warrants were served upon them. Justice Schlevogt held them in $800 bonds to await the action of the grand ivry, which sits at the September term. Lacy declined to give bond, and was sent to jail. It is through him that a prompt Gecision is expected. The track people have secured the services of four lawyers, Messrs. R. Walton Moore, Edmund Burke, Samuel G. Brent and Col. Francis L. Smith. They will at once go to Richmond and se- cure a writ of habeas corpus in the case of Lacy, which will bring the case to trial be- fore the court of appeals within the next ten days. The news of the arrest was re- ceived with seeming satisfacticn by the herse owners, who express the belief that the track people will win, and that racing will be resumed at St. Asaph. The warrants charge the men with of- fenses under both the Maupin law and its companion law, which deals especially with the foreign book question. After the last race yesterday the receiv- ing of commissions was stopped, and the pool room will not again be opened until a decision of some sort has been rendered by the Court of Appeals. Lacy occupies ene of the best rooms at the jail, which had been furnished for him before he was arrested. Police Court. Mayor Thompson this morning disposed of the following cases: Henry Gotney, an old scissors grinder, drank too much “hot tea” yesterday, and was picked up by Ofi- cer Howson. He was fined $2, and not hav- ing the necessary change he will spend the next ten days in jail. Thomas Jackson, a negro hobo, charged with breaking and entering a car of the Southern railway, was sent to the grand jury. Lena Triplett, colored, was charged with disorderly conduct. She was dismissed, as the evidence did not sustain the charge. John Robinson, arrested by Officer Rob- erts for keeping an unlicensed dog, fined $1, and made to get out a license. Encaped From Jail. John Burless, colored, who was at the last term of tke Alexandria county court convicted of an assault with intent to kill and sentenced to three years in the Rich- mond penitentiary, made his escape from the jail in this city yesterday. Just how he effected his escape is unknown, but it is supposed that when the chain gang was being taken out he took advantage of the confusion and slipped out. He is about thirty-two years of age,andwelghs about 200 pounds. He is very black, and had on dark trousers and ccat and light brown hat when he escaped. City Sergt. Smith has offered $25 reward for his return to the jail. Charter Granted. Judge J. K. M. Norton of the corpora- tion court yesterday granted a charter of incorporation to the Painton Electric Steamship and Construction Company, the object of which is to build ships to be pro- pelled by electricity. The capital stock of the company fs placed at $1,000,000, and the officers are R. B. Pairton, president; J. W. Riley, vice president; H. A. Solomon, secretary, and Hiram Warren, treasurer. Notes. Miss Lizzie Baader, the sixteen-year-oid daughter of Henry Baader, died at the res- idence of her father, on King street, last night of heart disease. The total amount of flour inspected by k. H. Hancock, deputy inspector, for the trst quarter, ending March 31, was 8,247 barrels. During the month of March the clerk of the corporation court recorded fifty-four deeds and issued seventeen marriage licenses—twelve to white and five to colored persons. A little white boy, who had climbed on a shed at the corner of Duke and Fayette streets yesterday after his kite, fell there- from and was quite painfully hurt, cutting his head severely.

Quarterly Meeting of the Held Yesterday, The quarterly meetings of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary societies of the Washington district, Methodist Epis- copal Church, were held yesterday at Foun- ary M. E. Church, 14th and @ streets northwest, and were very largely attended. The meeting cf the Home Society was held at 10 a.m., the president, Mrs. T. L. Tullock, presiding. After devotional ex- ercises, which were conducted by the presi- dent, Mrs. Ada F. Richardson, and Mrs. S. V. Buzzee, an address of welcome was de- livered by Rev. Dr. O. A. Brown, pastor of the Foundry Church. Reports were read by the recording secretary, Miss Ella Stine- metz; on supplies, by Mrs. J. T. Turner; reading circles, Mrs. W. P. Hepburn; Wo- man’s Home Mission and children’s paper, Mrs. A. C. McDowell; mite boxes, Mrs. D. B. Street, the district secretary; Mrs. C. W. Brown, and District Treasurer Mrs. T. C. Smith. Miss Ida E. Miner spoke on “Thoughts of Sibley Hospital; Miss Ida Societies Rogers on “Kindergartening Among the Poor;” Mrs. Mary E. Morrow, a returned missionary, on ‘‘Work Among the Orien- tals on the Pacific Coast,” and Mrs. S. L. Beiler on “Good News of Alaska.” Miss Elizabeth F. Pierce sang a so! entitled “Take My Life and Let It Be.” The so- ciety adjourned upon the completion-of its business, and while waiting for the hour for the meeting of the Foreign Society to arrive lunch was served by the members of the Ladies’ Aid Society of Foundry. The Foreign Society met at 1:30 p.m., with Mre. S. L. Beller, president, in the chair. The leading feature of the session was a memorial service in honor of the late Mrs. J. McKendree Reilly, an honored officer for many years, and who died very suddenly at her home in Baltimore Satur- day night last. ‘Touching addresses were made by many of the members, and an exquisitely em- broldered table cover, which the society had had made in India expressly for Mra. Reilly, was shown. The intention was to present the cover to Mrs. Reilly at the meeting yesterday, in order to afford that lady an evidence of the love and esteem en- tertained for her by her associates in the society, but on account of her death the district secretary, Mrs. T. H. Martin, was authorized to present the token to Mrs. Reilley’s daughters in Baltimore tomorrow. Others who took part in the business of the session were Mrs. S. M. Hartsock, Mrs. 0. A. Brown, Mrs. L. H. Tilton, Mrs. S. M. Lake, Mrs. S. D. La Fetra, Miss Louise C. Miss Lulu Walker, Miss Maria Miss Elizabeth Eldridge, Miss Turner, Mrs. D. Olin Leech, Mre. T. H. Martin and Miss Ruth Sites. After the ad- journment an informal reception was given 'o Miss Sites, who recently returned from China, where she was for some years en- gaged in missionary work.

ALEXANDER, The Late Czar of Russia Bore a Haunted Life. He Was in Constant Dread of Ni-« hilistio Plots, Sought Relief in Stimulants, Tonics and Nerve Nutriment. Alexander, the late czar of Russia, no doubt furnishes one of the most striking examples in modern history of that trite saying, “Uneasy rests the head that wears a crown.” His whole life was a succession of per- sonal alarms, secret connivings, ni- hilistic plots and_ nihilistic attempts at assassination. Small wonder, then, if he sought relief in medicine, and as a health-restoring tonic for shat- tered nerves and haunted mind de- manded stimulants. In saying this, let it be understood that the late czar was in no sense an inebriate. The stimulants which he sought were rather in the nature of a nerve builder, rather than a nerve de- stroyer, and though he tried one rem- edy after another it was years be- fore he secured the right one. As a result of that discovery Alex- ander caused the following telegram to be sent to the branch house of JOHANN HOFF at St. Petersburg: “Send immediately one case of JO- HANN HOFF’S MALT EX- TRACT to Sarskoje, Celo, by order of the czar. COUNT von SCHU-. WALOFF.” The Genuine JOHANN HOFF'S MALT EXTRACT is a true builder of flesh and blood. One dozen bot- tles will give: more strength and nourishment than a cask of ale, with- out being intoxicating. Ask for the Genuine JOHANN HOFF’S MALT EXTRACT. All others are worthless imitations. 2 e to Mankind Sabbath, Ledger. f the Moxate From the 9 A well-att < ul meeting of the Phi of the National Couns cil of Jewish Women wes heid last evens ing, in the assembly room of Keneseth Is- rael Temple, Broad street, above Colume avenue, Mrs. Charles Hoffman pre= sided, and Miss trude Berg acted as secretary.
