The beauty of this water is that it is grandly and generally beneficial, starting with the stomach, which it gently quick- ens into better action; hence its constant use as a table water is well nigh a specific against the painiul enemy of comfort or use- fulness—dyspepsia. Its action on the kidneys is marked, but not violent, in fact, this admirable water is nowhere excessive in its effect. For incipient Bright's disease, or any of those disorders arising from blood impurity, the free use of this water, drank daily at the table, is an efficient safe- guard. Its effect upon the bowels, like its manifestations every- where else is mild, but searching. No painiul purging, but all func- tions become normal.

A hearing in the case of Wedderburn & Co., who are to show cause why a fraud order, depriving them of the use of the United States mails, should not be issued against them, was begun before Assistant Attorney General Tyner of the Post Office Department yesterday afternoon, as stated | in yesterday's Star. It was 3 o'clock when yner began the hearing, and only Proceedings were conducted. rburn & Co. were represented by e Jere Wilson, and the Patent Bar Association by Joseph R. Edson, Wm. H. ; * and F. C. Somers, who had been | the case on behalf tant Commissioner Sreciey and Law Clerk Stauf- ssociation. ef Patents fer were present, together with several prominent patent attorneys. Commissioner Butterworth’s State- me The following communication had been sent to the Postmaster General by Patent Coramissioner Butterworth: “I am in receipt of a letter from the hon- orabie Secretary of the Interior, of which the following is a copy: “Department of the Interior, “Oftice of the Secretary, “WASHINGTON, D C., September 30, i897. Sir: I have examined with great care your decision and the report of Assistant Secretary Greeley in the John Wedderburn and John Wedderburn & Co. case, end herewith return them, expressing my full approval of both. “I direct that when the decision and re- port are printed you transmit a copy of each to the Postmaster General, and that kis attention be spectally called to the use that has been made of the United States mail by John Wedderburn & Co. Very respectfully, Cc, N. BLISS, Secretary. “In obedience of the direction of the honorable Secretary, I herewith transmit a copy of the findings and decisions in the matter of the proceedings against John Wedderburn and John Wedderburn & Co. for disbarment for gross misconduct as solicitors practicing before this depart- ment. “I herewith return, with thanks for their use, a number of letters from John Wed- derb@rn & Co. to various persons, loaned to this office by your department. 1 also send for your information a nunfber of let- ters received by this office, ccpies of charges against John Wedderburn & Co., and their answer, tozether with other printed matter, which discloses the charac- ter and quality of the advertising literature used by the respondents and the business in which they were engaged. compliance with this request of the honorable Secretary of the Interior, I beg to call your attention to the fact that the United States mails have been constantly’ and persistently used to promote the schemes of Johan Wedderburn & Co., and used, as I believe, in contravention of the law. It seems obvious from the evidence before me that a conspiracy was entered into by a number of persons in contraven- tion of section 5440 of the Revised Statutes, and that the statutes in regard to the use cf the maiis for fraudulent purposes were openly and defiantly violated by these con- spirators. ~ Certainly the literature and correspond- ence to which your attention is exiled was deposited in the mails for transmission to the parties addressed, for he purpose of deceiving, misteading and defrauding them, and it appears that the commission of the offense was so profitable that the conspira- tors not only went without rebuke or pun- ishment, but used at least two of the de- partments of the government as instru- mentalities to carry out and into effect the conspiracy.

Thousand Inventions Wanted,’’ and to a Journal called ‘The National Recorder,’ in connection with the communications’ ad- Gressed to various clients by the respond- ents, “It unfortunately occurs that the vic- tims of the dishonest practices mentioned are scattered all over the country, and a vast majority of them are poor. Some of them, as we are informed, paid their last penny to John Wedderburn & Co. for in- formation that was, in fact, worthless, and Meany others paid sums ranging from $25 to $150 for the prosecution of applications for patents in cases where there could have been no reasonable hope on the part of a competent attorney that a patent could be obtained. “The United States mails and the patent ; Office were used as the instrumentalities for fleecing these victim: id unfortunately the victims were not in a position to se- cure either the exposure or punishment of le delinquents by whom they vic- timized. ‘y were vic. “You will observe that the press was used without limit or stint. and it is sur- prising to observe that although people in almost every part of the United States were interested to be informed of the ac- tien of the honorable Secretary of the Interior with reference to the disbarment preceeding, scarcely one of the great morn- ing journals in New York, Philadelphia, Beston, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chicago or of the other cities of the Union had any reference to the decision. The combine that is presumably, judging from results, | Influential enough to prevent news that 1 important to the public from being trans- mitted by the usual agencies througnout the country, can assert a power and in- flvence dangerous to the public welfare, end far too strong for single individuals to cope with, and presents a case in which the power of the government ijself should is put forth in the interests Of the peo- e. “Any evidence under the cor‘rol of this office which may be required in the in- vestigation or other proceedings you may institute will be promptly furnished.” Postponed Until Tomorrow. Judge Wilson asked to see the charges against Wedderburn & Co., and was hand- ed a statement of charges drawn up by Law Clerk Barrett of the ottice of the as- Sstant attorney general. Judge Wilson said he was not ready to make a reply, and asked that an adjournment be taken until Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Judge Wil- son referred to the disbarment by the com- missioner of patents of Wedderburn & Co., and said the commissioner had nut acted in good faith toward him, as he had been Promised a hearing before the Secretary of the Interior, which, he said, was guaranteed him by the statutes relating to disbarment Proceedings Mr. Edson offered to produce evidence used by the patent office in the disbarment broceedings if desired by the Post Office Department, and Mr. Wm. H. Small mude & few remarks. The proceedings were then adjourned until tomorrow at 2 o'clock p.m. —__<—+-e.______ RIVER FRONT IMPROVEMENTS. Progress on the Seca Wall—The Pro- posed Bridges. Col. Allen reports to the chief of en- gineers in regard to the Potomac river im- provements that good progress was made last month in relaying and raising the sea wall on the Washington channel front and at the extreme lower end of section 111 of the reclaimed area. The total length of sez wall built to date is 35,28 linear feet, of which 4,300 linear feet on the Washing- ton channel front have been relaid.

Clegg, March 9, 1897, for dredging in the nnel, a force of eighteen la- has been employed in forming em- bankments on section 1 to retain the dredged material, and about 1,200 Hnear feet of embankment built. Col. ‘Allen says the contractor has not yet brought his dredging machine to the ground, and the commencement of the work has thus been delayed three months. Repatring Aqueduct Bride. The work of repairing pier 4 of the Aque- duet bridge has been resumed. The pump- ing plant has been put in place by the con- tractors, who have repaired the cofferdam, placed puddling on the outside of the dam and pumped it out. Derricks for handling ‘One and material have also been erected n the cofferdam. The false work has been repaired, and piles and caps placed in the cofferdam under the trestle towers to trans- mit the strains caused by the weight of the adjoining bridge plans to the solid rock ef the river bed. The stairway and two fences along the sidewalk have been built, in addition to which some excavation has n made within the cofferdam. About one-third of the face stone required has been cut and quarried. Proposed Eastern Branch Bridge. Col. Allen says he has made a contract with Wm. E. De Witt for test borings on the line of the proposed bridge across the Eastern branch in line with Massachusetts avenue extended eastward. The contractor began work last month and placed a scow, with enging and other plant on board, near the site of the proposed bridge. The first boring was completed September 25, hay- ing been carried to a depth of about sixty- eight feet beiow the river bed. Other test borings are now being made. Memorial Bridge Survey. In regard to the survey of the Memorial bridge across the Potomac river from the Naval Observatory grounds to the Arling- ton reservation, Col. Allen says: “The instrumental field work of the sur- vey was completed during the early part of September. The topographical survey of the Naval Observatory grounds was com- pleted and float observations were then taken to determine the direction and ve- locity of the Potomac river in the vicinity or et item: of the survey. working map of the area covered by the survey has been commenced and is in The boring apparatus was overhauled and plans prepared for fitting up a walking beam on the combined pile driver and snag boat to facilitate drilling in rock.

Those in the ty were Catchers Clarke ani Bowerman, Second Baseman Reitz, Third Baseman McGraw, Outfielder Stenzel and Pitchers Corbett, Nops and Pond. Shortstop Jen- nings and Left Fielder Kelly will be mar- ried today, and will join the team in Pitts- burg. A dispatch from Cumberland says that great preparations are being made at Frost- burg for the base ball game at that place his afternoon between the Baltimore and ll-American teams. After the game this evening the teams will return to Cumber- land, and take the early morning train for Pittsburg. An excursion will be run irom Cumberland and cther points to see the game at Frostbure. BALTIMOR "PROFITS, Estimating the Money Cleared by the Orioles This Season. Figures pertaining to finances, says the Baltimcre News, are always interesting, particularly when they refer to some one else’s business. The question has been asked: “How much did the Ba!timore club make this year?” As the owners could pot reasonably be expected to subject their pri- vate affairs to the scrutiny of an unchar- itable world, the best one can do in answer is to make the best of facts at one’s dis- posal. According to the attendan ures already announced in the News, people saw the club play at home. The pro- portion of 25-cent, 5-cent and 75-cent tick- ets indicates a conservative average per capita of 40 cents. Using this as a basis, $109,218.40 would have been taken in at home. Of this amovnt, one-half of 25 cents per capita was giv to visiting” clubs, amounting to $34,130 The greatest diffi- culty is experierced in determining what the Baltimore club took away from the eleven other cities in the circuit. If the towns had a uniform charge for admission it would be easy to calculate. Philadelphia, though, has a 25-cent admission, while the other cities visited by the Orioles charzed 50 cents. While away from home 395,691 people saw the Baltimore club play. Perhaps 40 cents per capita would be about a correct aver- age, and, using this figure, Baltimore would get one-half, or 20 certs for each admis- sion—a total of $7! 1.20. Adding ihis to the home receipts and deducting the amount paid. to visiting clubs, the esti- mated total receipts would be $154,225.85. The score card and bar privileges count for something, but may go to offset the passes issued. As for expenses, the amount can only be estimated by what officials of other clubs say their teams cost them. For cx- ample, President Pulliam makes no bones ebout saying that $5,000 will cover his team’s expenditures this season. lf the Colonels cost this sum the Orioles’ have cost $75,000. It is a pretty safe guess to say the owners of the Baltimore club cleared at least $75,000 this year. Altair Club Races. The annual club races of the Altair Cycle Club will be held tomorrow afternoon at the Internationa] Athletic Park. The full Ust of entries is not made up, nor the list of officials. The ‘events and prize list are as follows: Five-mile handicap—First prize, pair Morgan and Wright single tube tires; sec- ond prize, pair of L. A. W. bicycle shoes; third prize, rotary bell; fourth prize, cy- clometer. One-mile handicap—First prize, Search- light lamp; second prize, rotary bell; third prize, pair golf stockings. One-third-nile handicap—First prize, silk umbrella; second prize, sweater; third prize, cyelometer. One-mule open, club championship—Prize, club gold medal. The prizes will be awarded to the win- ners Monday evening at a meeting, which will be keld at the residence of Mr. Allie Craig, on O street. Yesterday's Foot Ball Games. Harvard, 38; Amherst, 0.

Brown, 20; Andover, Wesleyan, 16; Tuft: Brooklyn's Ni third Baseman, A special from Canton, Ohio, says that Ed Gremminger of Canton, who played third base for Buffalo last season and made a very creditable record for himself, re- ceived word from Buffalo Monday night that his services had been drafted by the Brooklyn National League team for next season. Brooklyn paid $500 bonus, Ed will be seen among the Bridegrooms next year. This drait looks as if the claim for Han- nivan by Brooklyn had been relinquished by that club and that this fine third base- man has been safely corrailed by Mr. Wagner. Western High School Defeated. The Cooke Park foot ball team defeated the Western High School boys yesterday at Kaloraina, 2 to 0. The game was well played, the Cooke Parks winning on a touch-back. Taussig, Mulligan and Brew- er did gocd work for the Westerns, and McQuade, Gordon and Simmons carried off the honors for the victors. Mr. Ritchie officiated as umpire, and Dr. Bryan as ref- eree, eS TO INSPECT ARMY POSTS. Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn Make a Western Trip.

Darkness proved a big handicap to the competitors last evening in the General Ordway volley match and the volley skir- mish match. Both matches were open to teams of sixteen enlisted men, but of those that had made entry only two battalions, the 4th and the Engineer, reported at the firing line with the full quota of members. The Sth Battalion and the 1st Separate Locks Like a Regular. Battalion were represented, but their teams consisted of only twelve men each. An effort was made to-induce the 4th and En- gineer battalions to reduce the member- ship of their teams to twelve men, in order that there might be four instead of two competitors participating in the matches. The steps in that directi unsuccessful. The 4th Battalion matches, ion, however, were team won both 33 in the General \- AMERICAN WALTHASI WATCHES are the most perfect timepieces it is possible to make, and they are sold at lower prices than foreign watches of less value.
