their sex is like an overhanging demon of disaster always ready to descend upon them. The average doctor cannot help them much. He has net time to become a spe- cialist and learn the best treat- ment for these delicate troubles. He relies “local treatment” which seldom does any good, and often does harm. No wonder women get dis- couraged, but they needn’t. Any woman suffering from these delicate complaints who will write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buf- falo, N. Y., will receive, free of charge, a letter of sound professional advice and gestion for home-treatment.

The third evening’s entertainment for the benefit of St. Ann's Church, Tenley- town, was even more largely attended than that of either of the two preceding. The hall was packed during the evening, while the lawn surrounding the hall was filled with the overfiow. An interesting pro- gram was rendered, consisting of a piano sclo by Miss Nellie Masterson, fancy danc- ing by Miss Annie Downey, fancy dancing, jigs and songs by Master Beau Downey, and several other numbers. One of the main attractions this evening will be a cake walk by members of the Olt Deminion Club, for which a prize will be given. In addition to this there will be & plano solo by Mr. Glesburg, vocal and in- strumental selections by Messrs. Terrell and Smith, songs of the day by Mr. George O'Connor, ‘vocal solo, “Let Me Take My Place at Home Aguin,” by Mr. Bryon G. Harlan; comic songs by Mr. Tom Wilkin- son, songs, Mr. Charles Goodchild; duet, by Messrs. Harlan and Wilkinson; piano selection, Mr. Giesburg. A children’s matinee will be held at the fair this afternoon from 2 until 6 o'clock, and again Saturday afternoon, during the same hours. This will give the children a chance to enjoy the affair. Metropolitan Company's Plans. Since the extension has been granted to the Metropolitan Railroad Company to ex- tend the Connecticut avenue line out the Columbia road, the extra power for moving the cars will be furnished from this end of | the line. The company has two power sta- tions, one at the foot of 4% street, which furnishes power for all of the lines on 9th street and east, while the power house on the site of the old stables on P street, near Rock creek, supplies power for the lines west of th street. New machinery is now being introduced in the P street which will be more than sufficient to run the cars on the extension. The improve- ments in the power house will be completed about the same time the tracks are laid and ready for the cars. This is done to prevent delay in operating the cars on the new section. Henry L. Barnes Dead. Mr. Henry L. Barnes, husband of the late Mrs. M. E. Barnes, died yesterday at his residence on the Canal road near the Chain bridge. The deceased had been sick for a long while, and suffered greatly. He was sixty-five years of age. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family residence. Real Estate Matters. David Rittenhouse and Robert 8. Chew, trustees, have sold to Thomas Hyde, part of lots 4 and 5, in Dent's and others’ sub- division of the Linthicum estate on U street. The consideration is placed at $14,- 000. William C. Clark has bought of Thomas C. and Samuel T. G. Morsell lots 12 and 13 of block 6 of the subdivision of White- haven. The price paid is stated at $1,200. Briefs. The annual excursion of the Ancient Or- der of Hibernians, division No. 1, to Mar- shall Hall, yesterday, was a great success. Perhaps the largest crowd that ever left Georgetown went down on the boats dur- ing the day. Policeman John Maher, who was recently place, | ee granted leave of absence of thirty-five days, has retu: from a trip to Ireland, where he visit his parents. He will go on duty tomorrow. Mr. J. E. Smith of this piace, employed by the Me Rafiroad Company, has been granted leave of absence of thirty asys, and has gone to Boston on business. SS TO ADVANCE TRADE RELATIONS, f a Representative Japanese Industries. Mr. Massana Maeda, ex-vice minister of agriculture of Japan, is a guest at the Japanese legation here. He represents about twelve marufacturing and commercial as- soctations of Japan and his misston here 1s to advance the trade relaticns between the twb ccuntries. Mr. Maeda says the Japanese are extremely anxious to give the Untted States a large share of their trade, and his purpose in coming here ts tn part to investigate the prices of raflroad and telephone equipments. The Japanese gov- ernment is about to expend large sums of money in railroad and telephone exten- stons, and it would be very satisfactory to the Japanese people if the materials and equipments could be purchased in the United States. For some unknown reason, Mr. Maeda said, the people of this coun- try have never seriously undertaken to extend their trade with Japan. They do not seem to appreciate the fact, he sald, that the Japanese prefer to trade with America rath@r than with any of the Eu- Topean nations, and it was his opinion that a very large reciprocal trade might very easily be built up between the two nations. As a rule the important products of Japan did not in any way conflict with American manvfactures and he saw no reason why the trade of both countries could not be greatly extended to thelr mutual advan- tage. In speaking of Hawail, Mr. Macda said there was absolutely no sentiment in Japan in favor of Japan annexing the. islands, either among the government officials or among the common people. Japan did not wish Hawaii, but she did desire to have her trade interests protected and her treaty with the islands kept inviolate. —-o-+______ Woman's Temperance Union. The annual demonstration of the British Woman's Temperance Association, in con- nection with their convention, was held in Queen’s Hall, London, which seats 6,000 persons, Lady Henry Somerset presiding. Canon Wilberforce and Dr. Collins, presi- dent of the London city council, gave the addresses. A children’s fountain, erected with the money raised by the children, was unveiled during the convention. It 1s made from the same model as the one which stands in front of Willard Hall, Chicago. The English fountain is named for Lady Henry Somerset, while the one in Chicago is called the Willard fountain, and was paid for by the Loyal Temperance Legions. A little maiden in bronze holding out a cup of running water is the model. Mrs. Lilian M. N. Stevens of Portland, Me., the frater- nal delegate from the National W. C. T. U., was given a brilliant reception. sir Wilfred Lawson presided, and Lady Henry Somerset voiced the British welcome. W. C. T. U. summer meetings are now well in hand. From five days to two weeks are given in nearly all Chautauquas and camp meetings for temperance teachings. A conference of five days at Chautauqua, New York, closes August 4 with an all-day platform meeting, Miss Frances E. Willard | and Birs. Margaret D. Bilis of Newark, N. ! 5., superintendent of legislation, being the principal speakers. Mra. Katharine Lente Stevenson, national corresponding secre- tary, has charge of the entire conference. Mrs. Ella A. Boole of Staten Island and Frances W. Graham of Loc‘-port, he singing evangelist, are to asrist in the program at Cuba, N. ¥., temperance | camp meeting. The W. C. T. U. school of: methods at Tully Lake, N. ¥., covers one week, August 11 to 18, and is in charge of Mrs. Helen L. Bullock of Elmira, assisted |; by Mrs. Bertha Morris Smith. Mountain Lake Park, Md., has for many years had W. C. T. U. conferences. This _year they are in charge of Mrs. N. R. C. Morrow, | president of West Virginia, and cover dates | from July 24 to 28. Bay View, Mich., as for many years past, will be in charge of Mrs. Louise S. Rounds, assisted by Miss Helen L. Hood, who has recently returned from England. W. C. T. U. days at Ocean Grove are July 8 and 9. Mrs. Emma Bourne, president of New Jersey, will be jn charge. Kentucky Chautauqua, at Lex- | ington, June 2 to July 10, is led temper- ance days by Mrs. Helen lu. Barker, treas- urer of the National W. C. T. U.' Every state has its quota besides those men- | tioned. Representatives’ Clerks Organize. The clerks to the republican representa- tives in Congress met Tuesday afternoon | and perfected their organization by the adoption of a formal constitution and the election of officers. All republican clerks as well as gold democrats were made eligi- ble, as were senators’ clerks and other cler- ical employesof both houses of Congress. The organization was given the name of the Congressional Clerks’ Republican Club. The objects of the club are to work harmo- niously with the national and congresstonal committees in disseminating republican doctrine. The following are the otticers elected: President, C. D, Rooney, Massa- chusetts; vice president, Thomas M. Rogers, Missouri; secretary, Luman N. Ellis, Ohio; treasurer, Paul Ackerly, Connecticut. One member of the executive committee is to be chosen by each state delegation. a Mr. Doran's Recovery. Mr. Edward Byrd Doran, who was taken to the Emergency Hospital some days ago, is now entirely recovered and has left for the Blue Ridge Springs. Mr. Doran said to a Star reporter that he took some chloral to induce sleep, as he had been troubled with irsomnia on account of over-work and study, but de- nied that he took the drug with any sut- cidal intent. He said that he regretted the publicity that had been gtven to the af- fair, and the many misstatements that had been made concerning it. SS If you want anything, try an ad. in Tne Star.

It is Regarded as an Indication of Improving Business Conditions. The Treasury Department has recently received numerous requests for small notes in unusually large quantities. This de- mand was entirely unexpected, and 1s con- fidently regarded by treasury officials as an indication of improving business conditions. At least once a year the treasury meets de- mands for small notes from the west and south, where they are needed for the move- ment of the crops. Seldom, however, has the inquiry begun earlier than the middle of July, and therefore it is assumed that the call for notes of small denominations is not in anticipation of the crop movement. It has become so general, however, par- ticularly in the south, that treasury offi- cials ascribe it to renewed activity in gen- eral business. —__—__-e.—_____ A Fortunate Cave-In. The United States Telephone Company have quite a large number of men employ- ed in digging a trench for their new sub- way Hne through New York and Peunsyl- vania avenues, where these avenues inter- sect 15th street northwest. Monday, shortly before noon, there was some excltement in that vicinity for a time caused by the caving-in of the sides of the trench, where it is being excavated through the filled-in ground in that section. The filling being composed of earth, discarded cobblestones, broken brick, gravel and other debris of the days “befo’ de wah” did not hold well together when perforated, and some forty feet of it gave way, causing the asphalt pavement on the surface to be torn away from the main roadway for the dis- tance named, and great gaping seams are seen from four to six feet on the south side of the trench. The excavation is about six feet deep from the surface, and several of the work- men had to hustle very lively to avoid be- ing crushed by the cave-in. A large force of men were immediately set at work to clear away the debris and shore up the sides with stout braces and planking. There is another feature of this work which should claim the attention of the District authorities. That 1s,the necessity of having an extra watchman at this busy intersection of travel lehils this work is proceeding.

JOCKEYING THE AIR MOTOR ‘How the Oompreneed Air Machine Was Run Up Hill. A Speed Trial That Has Given the Promoters of the System Great Glee. The air motor “experiments” continue daily and nightly. The snort of the “bot- tles’” as they emit their squeezed atmos- phere is to be heard occasionally along New York avenue and 5th street, on G street, and sometimes in the vicinity of the hill in front of the Police Court, where the motor the other day demonstrated its capacity to supply retrograde rapid transit at short notice. When the original motor was brought to town a schedule of trips was arranged for the alleged benefit of the public, the car leaving the power house at Eckington at 8:30 a.m., 3:30 p.m., and 7:30 p.m., the times of the heaviest traffic. The later sample of the compressed air system, which combines the features of the two leading rivals for public favor in this line, has followed much the same schedule, though the route has been charged a trifte. Today there was filed with the District Commissioners a letter that bears interest- ingly upon the performances of this second motor and upon the methods in vogue to put it through its paces. From this docu- Ment it would seem that there is some “Jockeying’’ betng done in order to land the motor on the crest of Louisiana avenue hill and into official approval. ‘The letter, which was signed by Mr. T. P. Kane, a resident of Eckington, and a close observer & all the air motor experiments, is as fol- = “About 10 o'clock Iast night the new alr motor made a trip from the power house in Eckington to the Pennsylvania depot, with gates all closed to pre- ¥ent any one from getting aboard. Mr. W. G. Henderson, president of the North Capitol ard Eckington Citizens’ Associa- tion, and myself, seeing it start in took the next car and followed for the purpose of witnessing its ascent of the Louisiana avenue grade on the return trip. We reached 6th street and Louisiana avenue just as the car was turning into 6th street at the depot on its way back. When it crossed Pennsylvania avenue full power was turned on ond the car was started up 6th street, with all four gates closed and bell clanging for everybody and every- thing to got out of the way, and by the time it reached the foot of the Louisiana avenue grade, where Mr. Henderson and I stood, it had acquired all the speed it was capable of attaining and momentum suffictent to carry it two-thirds of the dis- tance up the hill. “This irorning the promoters of the air motor boasted of the splendid achievement of, the car last night in making this ascent. ‘Now, I wish to enter my protest against any such performance as that which I witnessed Iast night being considered a Practical test of the climbing capacity of this car. Under ordinary conditions it skould be able to stop at C street and again at the foot of Louisiana avenue to take on passergers, as the horse cars do, otherwise those who wish to board the car at these points will have to walk to the top of the hill while the alr car waits there for them to come up, if such a contrivance should be permitted to be temporarily adoptet. The fact that they do not stop the car at these points to permit any one to get on is an admission on the part of those who are endeavoring to foist this in- fernal machine upon the people of Wash- ington that it cannot take the grade at this point under the ordinary conditions t> which a street car is subjected, but that it Is necessary for them to get a momen- tum to the car sufficient to carry it two- thirds of the distance up the hill in order to make the ascent, and that, too, with no- body on the car except those who are ex- perimenting with { ——— PEARY’S PLANS. LIEUT. lorer Getting Ready for er Trip to the North. Lient. Peary, the arctic explorer, was {p New York yesterday. He started for Bos- ton last night. The explorer intends to sail from Boston on July 10 for the north. He said to a World reporter: “This present trip is simply preliminary to next year’s arctic exploration, which may continue three, four or five years, with the Intention of reaching the pole, if pos- sible. “I am going now to get together an auimaux village. It is my intention to es- tablish a coleny of ten young Esquimaux, with their wives, at the furthest possible northern point. “They will be told to have their dogs and sledges ready when I call for them next year. This will give me a start without any waiting.” In the party for the short trip this year will be Albert Operti, the arctic artist: Prof. Hitchcock of Dartmouth College and Russell Porter of Boston, with their classes. Lieut, Peary sald he would be away but three months this summer, and would pick up the scientific parties on his return trip. ——-e+___ Passed Resolutions. A meeting of the members of the Dis- trict bar, called by President Henry E. Davis of the District Bar Association, was held at 3 o'clock this afternoon in Criminal Court room, No. 2, when resolutions eulo- gistic of the late Richard Smith, a popular member of the local bar, were adopted. ——— Mr. Warner Mustered Into the G.
