ALGER'S REPLY He Discusses Chargex Concerning His War Record. Gen. Russell A. Alger t day at Canton, Ohio, regarding charges that he had absented himself? from the army in the Shenandoah valley in 1864. He sald he had answered in a Boston paper, over his own signature, the issues raised, giving a statement of Gens. Custer, Sheri- dan and President Lincol.. “These statements,” said Gen. Alger, “taken in connection with the fact that we were ordered to the Shenandoah valley, and engaged constantly from that time until I was sent to the hospital, in Septem- ber, show that I could not have had very much opportunity to disgrace myself or leave my command in so short a tine. The whole record, with all the fasts in the case, was published by the press of the country in 1891 and "92.

A serious accident occurred about o'clock yesterday afternoon which resulted in the death at the Emergency Hosvital today of Leo Kirby, a two-year-old white child. Yesterday afternoon the baby was left at its home, 289 41-2 street southwest, by her parents, in charge of a little brother. The two children were playing on the floor with some paper, but approached too near the fire. The paper became ignited and the flames were transferred to the dress Sr the little one. Leo was in an instant in a blaze. The mother happened to return just at that moment, and hearing the cries of the chil- dren rushed to their assistance. She put out the fire and sent for a physician. The mother and physician labored over Leo, who was horribly burned, all night long. and at 5 o'clock this morning the physician stated that death was inevitable. ‘The Emergency Hospital ambulance was then sent for, and the unfortunate baby was removed to that institution, where the house staff worked for five hours to relieve her sufferings. Death occurred at 10 o'clock. Coroner Hammett viewed the remains this afternoon and decided that an inquest was unnecessary. ee COST OF ARMOR PLATE. Testimony Taken by the Senate Com- mittee Made Public. The testimony taken before the commit- tee of naval affairs of the Senate in regard to the cost of armor plate was made public today. The report shows that General Manager H. C. Frick of the Carnegie Stecl Company submitted a written proposition agreeing to leave some of the differences between the company and the United States to arbitration. Mr. Frick ia his letter said the original cost of the Carnegie armor plate plant was over $4,000,000, and he advanced the idea that tne government could not duplicate it for less than $5,000,000. Se DIANA ROMA RELEASED. Her Alleged Father's Claim Dinminsed by Judge Miller. Judge Miller, in the Police Court today, diemissed the attachment for the arrest of Diana Roma, the fifteen-year-old Italian girl. The attachment was issued on com- plaint of Joseph Roma, who claimed that the girl's mother was training her to lead an immoral life. He wanted her committed to the board of children’s guardians. The mother claims that Joseph is not the father of Diana, and adds that he is want- ed in Europe for murder. His accusations in rezard to the character of the girl, the mother maintains, are absolutely false. —— CUSTODY OF A CHILD. The Habeas Corpus Proceedings Over Myrtle Grimsby. The taking of testimony before Judge Cole in the habeas corpus proceedings in- stituted by Mr. John Sturgess and his wife, Aéa, for the recovery from the hoard of cliidren’s guardians of the custody of Myrtle Grimsby, or Mildred Sturgess, the child {s known, was commenced this afternoon.

Speaking today concerning the reasphalt- ing of cuts made in the pavements for the laying of conduits by the Potomac Eleciric Power Company, President Crosby said it was an error to say that his company had agreed that when summer comes the work will be torn up and done over. “We have,” he continued, “merely stated that should there be any defect in the pavement next summer it will then be done again. As a matter of fact, the Cranford Paving Com- pany, who will do the work, give the same guarantee to us and to the District with respect to the quality of the work which is just now to be undertaken, during such Weather as it will be done, as they will give for work done at any other time of the year.” ee The Association Incorporated.

The shopkeeper who cheats us by lying with re- Bard to the quality of his goods and the grover or the butcher who gives us short weights, is a thief. However, their knavery touches nothing but ur pocket book. There is another widespread form of misrepreseutation of a far more dangerous and vil- latnous character. We refer to the false rtatements and worthless Fuarantées that freyuently accompany medicines. ‘Te guarantee a medicine to cure ts to brand it as quack product. If we can guarantee to cure dis- ease, then we can guarantee everlasting life, for in 2 large majority of cases people die of disease, the proportion of violent or accidental deaths be- ing very small. Z ‘The Shakers have always been known as a most upright and honorable people, and their success tn the manufacture of medicines has also been well known. It fs, therefore, not surprising to find them pureuing a very original and novel plan for the in- troduction’ of their remedy for dyapepsia. These God-fearing people, whose motto has al- ways been “Try all things and hold fast that which fs cocd,"’ have put upon the market ten-cent sam. ple bottles of their product, or sufficient to give it trial. The Shaker Digestive Cordial is so prompt in its action that for the trivial sum of ten cents a per- son can usuaHy determine as to whether or not it meets the requirements of bis case. There are forms of dyspepsia which It won't help, but these are very rare. In most cases the first dose relieves All distress, and an increase of appetite at once follows. All druggists have it, and the next time you are troubled with Indigestion send out and try this popular and successful product. It represents wear- ly a hundred years of patient investigation and study. fez PFA REAF IAF PAE (( % °° % ~of such tremendous selling as has.) * * been going on here for the past “> * 9% mouth and this stock will be but a (( ¢ © * memory of the past.
