Ripans Tabules. Rev. C. James long of Ashaway, beneficial For years I was troubled by e attacks of indigestion. Many times I have been from four to ten days with no evacuation of bowels whatever, and the pain and sense of heaviness et stich times las been most intense. I tried over thirty different advertised remedies, but still the distress continued to increase rather than to diminish. At last 1 saw an ad. of “Ripans ‘Tabules’ ina magazine that came to my study (the Homiletie Review, I believe), and at once secured a package of the Tabules, and began taking them according to directions given thereon. I shortly began to have full, regular und painless evacuations; my sleep became sweeter and more resting, appettte Increased, and, within a few Weeks, the trouble entirely left me, and no relapse has thus far taken place and none 1s anticipated. I regard myself as having been entirely cured by Ripans ‘Tubules or Tablets. My mother, also, Mra. Sarah L. Budlong, has been cured of a like trouble and by samo means, I slocerely hope the sales will increase to that extent that every family in the land will use this remedy for this distressing and dangerous complaint.

Have you been down to River View to shoot the chute? Well, if you haven't | you've missed lots of fun, for there’s really more fun in coming down the artificial waterway into the big lake than there 1s in any other amusement provided for excursionists on the Potomac river. The shaft of the chute is 75 feet high and the top of it, the starting point, is reached by means of an elevator. An in- dependent electric lighting plant illu- minates the chute, and gives the whole affair a bright and attractive appearance for mies around. From the water the boats are carried to the starting point by means of an endless chain, and the machinery used for this purpose is in the machine room on the ground floor. <A flowing stream of water over the chute also adds to its attractiveness, and this is pumped from the river at the rate of nearly one thousand gallons a minute. The latest improved machinery is used in connection with the chute, and the costly structure 1s thus made perrecuy secure. Captain Randall has made many improve- ments about the grounds, and in addition to the chute has the roller coaster or switchback railway, which has never lost its popularity; steam fiying horses, bowling alley, shooting gallery, shuffle boards, rid- ing track, with horses and goats, and there is always music and dancing. —_—_—-_—_. 2 Colonial Beach Festivities, The season at Colonial Beach is now under full headway, and the many cot- tagers and sojourners at the hotels at this Popular resort are enjoying the attrac- tions for which the Beach is jusily cele- brated. The first grand ball of the sea- son, and for which the whole surround- ing country has been making preparations for weeks past, will be given by Mr. Woods, proprietor of the Colonial Beach Hotel, at the handsome and commodious Casino tomorrow evening. Professor Es- puta’s orchestra and the Casino Band will provide the best of music for dancing and promenade, and a fine collation will be furnished during the evening. The John Sylvester will leave foot of 7th street, at 5 p.m. (an hour exrlier than her regular Satu time), arriving at the Beach at 9 o'clock, thus affording an opportunity for those desiring to do so to attend the ball and enjoy the pleasures of a fine country bail. The steamer return- ing, leaves the Beach at 1 o'clock to make her regular run there and to Lower Cedar on Sunday at 9a.m._ Tickets for the spew cial trip at 5 p.m. Saturday are good to stop over, returning Sunday evening. —= Safely Over the Mark. The gold reserve has been once more placed safely over the hundred million mark. This was accomplished through the deposit of gold coin by the banks in ex- crange for United States notes. The total gold coin contributed by the banks up o the close of business yesterday was §$15,- ),000. This was added to the reserve of 770, and brovght the total up to 0. There was no gold taken for export yesterday, showing that the New York bankers have conirol of the exchange market and are using their power to pro- tect the treasury. The hoardings also fell off, amounting to only $238,900 in coin. o- A Suit for Damages. The American Security and Trust Com- pany, as executor of the estate of the Jate B. H. Warder, has been made the defendant in a suit filed by William Homburg through his next friend, Ernest F. Homburg, in which $25,000 damages are claimed because of injuries alleged to have been received by the boy the 29th of last August.

Without doubt this resort is becoming more popular each season. The Beach is laxed to its utmost to accommodate the large crowds already here, and with the fine bathing, crabbing, fishing and boating to be found here it may well be termed the Coney Island of the eastern shore. The first masque ball of the season, given last Wednesday at the Casino, was a bril- Nant success. Miss Madelene E. Paillips wes awarded a handsome guid medal for the best fancy costume. Miss Sadie Bates received a gold medal for the next best fancy costume, and Miss Alice Weaver re: ctived a silver medal! for the most original costume. Mr. Claude McCauley has returned to the Beach, after attending the funeral of his , in Wasaington. The M Rosa and Belle Herman are Stopping at the Alvin for the season.

A very pretty wedding reception and din- ner was given at Mrs. Sterett's cottage last week, in honor of the marriage of Mr. Mal- colm F. Sterett of Dallas, Tex., to Miss M. Virginia Hooe of Virginia.
