Among the testimonials received last month by the proprietors of Paine’s celery compound was the following: BOSTON, February 8, 1897. Gentlemen—The strongest of athletes sometimes feels languids and drawn out. I have often found myself fecling so, more especially in the spring before the cutdoor season begins. I have tried meny things, but have found nothing that does me 80 uch good as Paine’s celery compound. I say this with much pleasure. Respectfully yours, J.P. WATSON. Mr. Watson Is the world’s professional cham- plon jumper and pole vaulter. He defeated Tom Burroughs and others at the world’s fair in Chi- cago. Not long ago Hfertberg, the champfon steeple- chaser, wrote to Wells, Richardson & Company that Paine’s celery compound had been of gre benefit to him, and said that he wished to recom- mend the remedy to others. John Graham of the Boston Athletle Association who took the victorious American team to Athen James Michacl, the champion long distance b = clist, and George Wright of Wright & Ditson, are among those who have recently indorsed this best of all spring remedies.

Halled With Dttight as Sure to Put an End te the Pro-Cuban Cleveland Policy, President McKinley’s Cuban policy has been settled. Hé may not know it himself, but nevertheless he has been enrolled as a firm friend of Spain. Witness the follow- ing extract from a broadside published in Havana March 4 as a supplement to the Saturday Letter, “‘a political and inde- pendent journal,” edited by the Marquis de Cervera y de Villa-Itre. The text is given in both Spanish and English, under the heading “God Save the President of the Welcome!! Mr. William MacKinley.”” The following paragraphs are of especial interest: “Ia the new President friendly to Spain? We trust and expect he may prove such, but as any absolute statement might result premature, guided by the precepts of logic, we are justified in arriving at the conclu- sion that the distinguished senator of Ohio resident-elect—who on entering in the charge of his great office carries such re- sponsibilities that he will set aside the ab- surd projects of ‘Cameron’ and ‘Spencer’ and place himself on record as the apostle reason, justice and of right. ‘And in this case reason, justice and right contend on the side of Spain in her struggle in the peace of the Antilles. Any fereign power meddling in the internal af- fairs whieh unfortunately threaten the fabric of our industrial and mercantile ex- istence would constitute a misdemeanor against the rulings of international law, as acknowledged and sanctioned by all civil- ized nations either through the practice of such tenets or by adhering to the provi- sions in treatises of international law and the agreements existing betwixt honest and lew abiding citizens, to whom the guaran- tee of a pledged promise even when merely verbal is considered absolutely binding, and ft is not to the direct interest of the United States to provoke conflicts of aifii- pany “This 1s followed and confirmed by the createc’ prime minister of the incoming administra- tion, which is this; ‘I believe that the gov- not interfere in Cuban think this is all, is the purchase of Cuban It is true in of products, in the com- wealth of nations, and the United the ambition ts to control with her Cuba exported ter of 96 the last statistical informations which we possess shows that exported 19 millions in exchange for only 3 millions im- portation, maintain this state of thing so beneficial It is absolutely plain that to for Cuba as well as for the United States. It becomes absolutely necessary to estab- lish commercial agreements of reciprocity, @ genuine one based on the acknowledge- ment of favored action. The United States needs Cuba as much as Cuba needs the United States.’ “Such is the doctrine we are supposed to be accepted by McKinley, since the moment he accepted the political program of Mr. Sherman. “This acceptance implies the immediate termination of the war hereto encouraged by the indirect system of Mr. Cleveland, who, at the end, has not proved friendly to tkem (Spain), and his diplomatic notes had led us to hope. We expect that the new administration hall put an end to the insurgent propaganda existing in New York and in other important cities of the Union formed by the group of wretched and ungrateful attainment of Cuban inde- pendence from Spain. While in Spain there exist one soldier and the patriotic senti- ment that is iniplanted in the hearts of her sons.” The translation'ts given verbatim. ae ee THE COURTS.

A Domestic Episode That is Creating Gossip in East Washington and Lieut. McCathran of the fifth police pre- cinct is today investigating a rumor which forms a topic of conversation in police cir- cles, and which involves Policeman Geo. G. Richards of the fifth precinct. It is almost impossible to get at the facts in the case: Lieut. McCathran stated to a Star reporter this afternoon that he knows absolutely nothing about the affair, except that it is said to have occurred. The story is that when Policeman Richards returned to his home, 605 G street southeast, at an early hour yesterday morning, considerable ex- citement followed, the reports of three pis- tol shots disturbing the quiet of the neigh~ borhood. It alleged that Richards found a man in the house with his wife, and u~on his entry both the visitor and the wife fled, running inte the street. The unwel- come visitor, it is said, succeeded in hiding himself in the darkness, and the shots, so it is declared, were directed at the fast-dis- appearing wife. Persons retailing this story intimate that for some time past Policeman Richards has been hearing strange rumors regarding his wife, and that he finally became suspicious. Therefore, the allegation is, he intentional- ly returned to his home yesterday morn- ing several hours sooner than he was ex- pected, with the rather startling result de- scribed. It cannot be learned who the visitor was. Mrs. Richards, who is report- ed to be an unusually attractive woman, is said to be stopping with friends today. Policeman Richards is a well-known and popular member of the force. He is twenty-eight years of age, and was ap- pointed to his present pesition Jenuery 2, 1895. Among the rumors is one to the effect that he has not treated his wife as well as mit ht be expected, and this, it ts said, had much to do with her alleged un- faithfulness. It Lecame known this afternoon that the visitor in his hasty flight from Policeman Richards’ house left behind some property, including several articles of clothing. These are held by Richards, who, from papers found in a pocket, is in full possession of all the facts concerning the identity of the owner. He is looking for the man, it is stated, — CENTRAL RELIEF COMMITTEE. An Important Meeting Called for Fri- day Afternoon. Judge Cole has called a meeting of the central relief committee for Friday af- terrocn at 4:15 at the board of trade rooms. At this meeting reports will be received from the subcommittees covering the work since the organization of the main body. Mr. Fitch, chairman of the committee on collections, will make his final report, and it is probable that the appeal for funds will be withdrawn, as ‘t is likely that Mr. Fitch's report will show that enough money is in hand to carry the work alcng through the summer. Col. Blount, the chairman of the committee on distribution, will report on the work undertaken by his committee in co-opera- tion with the Associated Charities, who investigated and reported on all destitute cases coming to the notice of the central relief committee. Surgeon Gen. Sternberg will report from the committee naving in charge the plans of permanent residences and sanitary dwellings in alleys and will probably have something interesting to say. He has called a meeting of his sub- committee for this afternoon, when the questions will be carefully considered and the report made to the full committee. The central relief committee is now in a posi- tion to go over the past work in its entire- ty and find out just what will be needed to carry it on until the beginning of another year. = COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY. An Important Invention Referred to in a Consular Report. Just at a time when photographers had almost abandoned hope of ever discovering a really practicable process of color pho- tography, a report comes to the State De- partment from United States Consul Gen. Mason at Frankfort, giving a description (as far as the process may be divulged) of @ means of doing this in a manner so sim- ple and inexpensive as to be available to every photographer, thus opening a new era in reproductive art. The process is the discovery of Chas- sagne, a Parisian savant, and is purely chemical. Any ordinary negative, before exposure, is dipped in a secret colorless bath. The usual negative results, and from this the usual positive is made on paper, glass or other medium. This positive, be- ing also dipped in the colorless liquid, ac- quires a wonderful power of selecting col- ors. Dipped successively in monochromatic baths of blue, red and green, the positive picks out from each the exact proportion of color necessary to reproduce the tints of the original. The result is a portrait abso- lutely life-like in form and color, and landscapes that will stand the test of strong magnifying glasses. To dispose of in this discovery, leading English scientists were permitted to make the color pictures with their own apparatus In London, being supplied by the inventor only with the necessary chemical baths. Already a great syndicate has pur- chased the patent rights for all countries, and is preparing to establish branch houses in each country for the treatment of plates. The composition of the color-sensi- tizing solution 1s still a secret. —— Convicted of Robbery. Eugene Vincent, Walter Tyler, Charles Johnson and George Bradley were convict- ed in Criminal Court No. 1 this afternoon of breaking into the dwelling of Patrick J. Mulligan, in South Washington, the night of the 13th of last January, and rob- bing it of a great quantity of goods. Chief Jvstice Bingham sentenced each of the de- fendants, young negroes, none twenty-one years of age, to eighteen months in the New Jersey state prison at Trenton at hard labor. The evidence showed that the prisoners occupied a shanty in South Washingcon, in company with five young negro wo- men, and that when the house was raided by Policeman Harries and others the day after the robbery two loads of goods were found there. The women were given ninety days in the workhouse, and the men were given thirty days in jail on ac- ccunt of some of the goods found in the house. Each of the prisoners denied any knowledge of the robbery. ——.—__ : Ex-Senntor Dubois Thanked.

No appreheision is felt for the safety of the distressed vessel in the present condition of the weather, and unless the Columbia is unduly delayed in getting up steam and leaving the Roads, the officials say she will, at the high speed of which she is capable, pick up the Puritan before tonight. The monitor was last reported to the Navy De- partment from Southport, N. C., where she was lying off shore awaiting the subsidence of a heavy sea; but it was not apprehended that she was in distress, and, in fact, the officials are yet in doubt whether or not the signals have not been misunderstood, though it is recalled that the engines were the subject of complaint before leaving New York for Charleston. —_———_ Illness of a Well-Known Lawyer. Mr. John J. Johnson, a well-known mem- ber of the local bar, is lying at his resi- dence, 1320 F street, dangerously ill from an attack of pneumonia. It was reported this afternoon that he cannot survive the day. Mr. Johnson is one of the oldest members of the District bar, and is one of the most highly respected. He is said to enjoy a close personal acquaintance with President McKinley, and his name has been mentioned as a possible successor of District Attorney Davis. He was in court Friday last. ——— Wills Filed. ‘The will of the late Catharine M. Ken- nedy, widow of Joseph C. G. Kennedy, was filed today. It is dated October 17, 1887, and mames Sallie J.

On Duty at the White House as Special Aid-de-Camp. Capt. Heistand of the 11th Infantry, who was recently ordered to report to the Sec- retary of War, has been assigned to duty at the White House as special aid-de-camp to the President. His duties are not de- fined, but it is presumed that he will act as an assistant to Secretary Porter in light- ening the labors of President McKinley as much as possible in the reception of visii+ ors who call on business. As is well known, Capt. Heistand is an intimate friend of President and Mrs. McKinley, and has been with them almost constantly since the No- vember election. He may also assist Col, Bingham of the Corps of Engineers, whe has charge of public buildings and grounds, in the management of the state and social functions at the Executive Mansion. It is said that the President has expressed a desire that Col. Bingham shall officiate in such affairs in the same capacity as did Gen. Wilson under the last administration. When Grant was President, Col. Porter ana Col. Babcock acted as his aids, and Lieut. Parker of the navy acted in a some- what similar capacity for President Harri- son. Lieut. Parker is the brother-in-law of Gen. Harrison’s wife. SE EE ee eee THE SENATE COMMITT: the Their Reorganization is Losing Im- portance on Account of the Tarif Bi With a certainty that a tariff bill can be passed by the Senate, the question of the reorganization of the committees of the Senate loses importance. The understand- ing generally had among all the elements is that the present organization, the republicans -being nominally in control, will be continued. The large number of vacancies existing will involve a general shake up, but the rearrangement is to be made on the plan followed when the re- publicans took control at the beginning of the Fifty-fourth Congress. This is for the present. After the tariff bill has been passed and the work of the special session concluded the situation will be different. The understanding is that with the begin- ning of the regular session in December, when the tariff will be out of the way as a complicating element, the silver men are to combine and take control of the com- mittees in the name of silver. —_—___-e- Richard, assistant surgeon; Capt.
