It is the poor man’s underwear, because it warms his body, keeps off rheu- matism and sickness, improves his health and capacity for work, wears three or four years—so is the cheap- est he can buy. It is the rich man’s underwear, because he can afford the best. We are District agents.

Upon Mr. Mobley’s appli- cation to the clerk of the court he was re- fused, and it wes not until both Mr. and Mrs. Taylor interceded that the license was issued.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Gity Council to Adjust Difficulty of the Ges Works. A Lively Discussion Anticipated—Re- organization of John Hay School General and Personal. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King Street. Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., February 5, 1898. Much interest is being manifested in the meeting of the city council to be held next Tuesday night, at which the time the af- fairs of the gas works will probably come up for settlement. There are already any number of candidates for the position made vacant by the removal of Mr. Cook, and the fight, it is thought, will be a hot one. It is more than probable that the portions of the mayor’s message referring to safe- guards beipg thrown around the office and a reduction in the salary of the office will cause considerable discussion. The ques- tion of salary will have to be settled be- fore the new msn is elected, as the city charter does not admit of the increase or decrease in the salary of any man holding otfice. The suggestion published in The Star some days ago, that the auditor make out the gas bills from the books of the meter inspector, and receive a correspond- ing increase in pay, has met with general approval. Industrial School Incorporated. The act of incorporation for the John Hay Normal and Industrial School of this city has passed the Virginia legislature, has been signed by Governor Tyler and is now a law. In pursuance of the incorporation the board of trustees named therein met yesterday at the school building, corner Patrick and Montgomery streets, and re- organized by election of officers and teach- ers. The following were chosen: Rev. Robt. B. Robinson, president (re-elected); Mag- nus L. Robinson, secretary and treasurer (re-elected); Wm. S. Bayne, superintendent buildings and grounds; Wm. A. Carter, manager boys’ industrial departments; Mrs. Josie G. Robinson, manager of girls’ in- dustrial “departments; teachgrs in normat, primary and industrial departments; Katie Anderson, Lilian Sayles, M. L. Robinson, jr., W. A. Carter; Mrs. Josephine Robinson, principal of normal department. The secretary-treasurer is bonded. The act authorizes the school to own fifty acres of land and property to the value of $2,000, The school is now located in its new build- ing and has an attendance of 140 pupils. Secretary Robinson offered resolutions thanking K. Kemper, superintendent city schools, for assistance in legal matters, and Senator Mushbach as patron of the act of incorporation, which were unanimously adopted. The president was authorized to secure Mr. K. Kemper as counsel for the board. The chapel of the school is neatly fur- nished, and a fine organ was placed in posi- tion today. The chapel is named for the late Colonel Shaw. A kindergarten has been organized for small children of the school, under care of Miss Kate Anderson. A night school for men and women will be opened March 1. Remains Taken to Lorton. The remains of the late Miss Elizabeth Cranford, who died at the Alexandria In- firmary at an early hour yesterday, were today taken to Lorton, Va., for interment. Miss Cranford was seventy-one years of one an@ had long been a resident of this city. Daughters of America. Mount Vernon Council, Daughters of America, held a largely attended meeting at its hall on Fairfax street last night. After the meeting a pound party was held at Odd Fellows’ Hall, where a pleasing musical and literary program was rendered. Revenue Agent Chapman’s Office. Capt. W. H. Chapman, the United States internal revenue agent for the states of Virginia and West Virginia, has moved his office from Lynchburg to this city and his headquarters will be in the revenue build- ing. Capt. Chapman and family formerly lived in this city, and their many friends gladly welcome them back. Civil Service Examination. The civil service commission has ordered an examination to be held in this city by the local board, between March 15 and April 25, for the grades of clerks and car- riers in the postal service. Brevities. Fillmore Bryant, a small colored boy, was fined $1 by Maycr Simpson in the police court this morning for an assault on a little son of Mr. Al. McCuen. Miss Cora Powell of Baltimore is the guest of Mrs. Wm. F. Brooke. Potomac Lodge, I. O. O. F., held a large- ly attended meeting last night. The Relief Hook and Ladder Company held a regular meeting last night and transacted routine business. In the corporation court a decree was entered in the case of Phineas Janney against Samuel Janney confirming com- missioners’ report and ordering sale of property. —— ANACOSTIA HAPPENINGS. Dramatic Entertainment—Revival of Citizens’ Association—Briefs, The Edwin Baker Dramatic Company ap- peared at St. Elizabeth's Asylum last even- ing in the four-act comedy, “Beyond the Rockies.” Those in the cast were Misses Nettie Howerd, Carolyn E. Griffith, Anna P. Evans, and Messrs. H. D. Anderson, Bernard A. Whalen, John Pellen, George D. Hensey, Edwin Baker and William T. Frazier. A number of citizens met Thursday even- ing at a private residence on Fillmore street for the purpose of taking some steps look- ing to the holding of regular meetings hereafter of the Anacostia Citizens’ Asso- ciation. Several much-needed improve- ments were informally discussed, and a committee was appointed to see the Com- missioners in regard to the dangerous con- dition of the east sidewalk on Nichols ave- nue. Dr. Godding’s letter to Senator Mc- Millan in relation to an extension of time for gxperiments by the Capital Railway Confpany was read and was unanimously indorsed. Owirg to the small number pres- ent, no business of importance was trans- acted. It is understood that Anacostia Lodge No. 21, F. A. A. M., will not participate as a lodge in the coming Masonic fair, though the individual members tntend to do all in their power to make it a success. The many appeals made daily to the police by the poor show that a great deal of suffering is yet. unrelieved here. As there is no local associated charities in Anacostia, the charitably inclined may send contributions to the office at No. 225 10th street southeast. Rev. Father Thomas B. Hughes, former pastor of St. Teresa’s Church, and now a professor in the Archbishops’ Seminary, Boston, is on_a visit to Washington. Miss Lelia Mattingly is visiting friends in Beltimore. Miss Rose Sullivan, niece of Mr. Frank Finatti of Anacostia, is in Philadelphia. Miss J. Toumey of New York is the guest of Mrs. Thos. Corbin. os MAY SHUT OUT OUR HORSES. German Minister of Agriculture Says They Have Influenza. A dispatch from Berlin yesterday says: Germany may not stop in her anti-Amer- ican course with her decree against Amer- ican fruit, but may attempt to cut off our growing trade in horses. It is now generally known that the fruit decree was issued by Dr. Miquel, the Prus- sian finance minister, and Baron von Ham- merstein Loxten, minister of agriculture, without the authority of the Prussian cab- inet or the bun th. “ r sian diet. that American after importa- tien, and added: srtatniy: be to adopt suitable quar ‘antine in order to “ “THE BOSS Br: te > aC tT It is Causing the» Republican now This May Be an,Jsqye in the Con- sressional “Eiéctions as - ig ‘Well ag. in, 290d. “ 2 la ° Both the republicags end democrats have selected their congtessignal committees in preparation for theccamipaign*which is to determine the compfexicn’ of the next Con- gress. The demociats some time ago com- pleted their organization on Bryan free silver lines. There is*no contest over the organization of the republican committee, and it is well understood that the officers of the old committee will be re-elected and their campaign will be conducted along the same lines it was last ‘fall. If there is any change as to the issues it is simply that the democrats are more firmly committed to silver and! the republicans are more fearlessly fighting for, the preservation of the gold standard. The division of sentiment in this country on that question ts pretty well understood, but there is another thing that is liable to have a great influence upon the result of both the congressional election and that of 1900, and which is giving some anxiety to the thoughtful men in Congress, espe- cially among republicahs! This is the ques- tion of machine control in politics. There is @ growing belief that the republican party has much to fear from a persistent effort of the bosses to retain and expand their political power. A paradoxical situation renders the power of thte machine less dan- gerous to the democrats. In their case, where the machine is powerful the platform of the party is weak, and the machine sim- ply operates to hold ‘in the party lines, without regard to principle, men who, if they acted independently of the machine, would not support the party candidates. To that extent the machine power operates temporarily to their advantage. Fears of the Bo: With the republicans the situation is dif- ferent. They have much to lose and noth- ing to gain by the Gominaticn of the bosses. Many who feel that there is nothing for the republicans to fear from going before the country on the direct tssue of currency reform and the preservation of the gold standard, as against Bryanism and free silver, fear that they may be threatened with serious defeat if the power of the machine beccmes fixed upon the party. It is recognized that there is a revolt among republicans vkerever the power of bosses has been felt against further bending of the neck to the bosses. This may mean a serious oss of votes if the power of the machine not broken meanwhile; and it certainly means that many recruits that should be had from among “sound mone;”’ democrats will not come to the support of the republ’cans. Most of the latter are apt to argue that if it is to be a mere matter of machine politics they may as well stand by their own machine, where there may be some hope of profit. They see an advantage to themseives in standing by the machine in New York and in Chicago, for instance, and will hardly be disposed to sacrifice that advantage to any sentiment of principle 11 that involves the acceptance of new bosses. Get Rid of the Machine. The men in Congress who:thus examine the situation feel perfect confidence in the abil- ity of the republican party to retain control of the government if the political struggle is confined to an issue of principle, and they do not want to see their) cause weakened by the want of confidence excited among the people by the persons who pose as po- litical bosses and undertake to dictate the policies as well as thé appointments of the government and the hominations of county, state and national conventions. It is there- fore felt to be of vital importance to the party and to the catise of “sound money” that the machine system should be got rid of as far as possible before the campaign comes on. By the men who feel this way the action of the Business Men’s League in Philadelphia is viéwed ‘with great satis- faction, and the’ hope fy entertained: that, for the good of the party, the fight against Quay will be successful. It is felt that if the machine is smashed by the republicans in Pennsylvania it will give an inspiration to republicans all over the country and will overcome the hesitation of many who are on the verge of coming to recruit the “sound money” forces. With all the con- fused clamor about civil service reform, about ‘‘deliberate prosperity’ and differ- ences as to finance, with respect to the policy of the administration, it is felt that the real weakness of the administration is not to be found in any of this clamor, but in the fact that the bosses have been rec- ognized too much with respect to the con- trol of the states which they claim as their own. POWER OF Leaders ————_o-+ ____ PROTECT AMERICAN CITIZENS. Spain Continues to Delude and Hum- bug the United States. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The observer of current events must be impressed with the force of recent edi- torial articles in The Star referring to occurrences in Havana, and to the di- versions of Castilian diplomacy at Madrid and Washington. He may be entertained by the kaleidoscopic character of these performances, but if he is a citizen of the United States he will be chagrined and mortified to see how easily his country is made the dupe of Spanish jugglery. The editorial, entitled “Returning Our Visit,” which appeared in The Star of yesterday, deserves to be read and reread by every genuine American. As every per- son who is at all informed on the sub- ject knows, the situation in Cuba has for more than twenty ‘years passed from bad to worse, notwithstanding the reiter- ated excuses and promises expressed in diplomatic phrases on sealed paper, and the lessons of history teach that this pro- gression will continue until the gem of the Antilles shakes off the Spanish yoke. But there is one feature of the situation which this government has not sufficient- ly regarded, and which to its discredit has been almost entirely ignored by the last as well as by the present administration. 1 refer to the neglect of this government to opportunely protect American lives and property on the Island of Cuba, and where outrages have been committed to demand from Spain substantial and prompt repar- ation. This regret to adequately protect American lives and property in Cuba is abundantly evidenced by official communi- cations which is unpleasant reading for Americans, and this is a feature of the situation touching which the government appears callous. There are occasions, such as for instance*the British com- manders in India faced: against almost overpowering odds, ;when- the representa- tives of a state must decide between the sacrifice of the enemy and its citizens, and there are times ‘when the “gunboat policy” is a humane ‘policy, and the only a self-respecting state to follow. Tneke ae a pericd len our authorities seem to have recof i that the righting the wrongs of American citizens in Cuba was an imperative duty, and as far back as 1874 the American re’ of State (ir. Fish) addressed the, American minister at Madrid (Mr. Cushing,in this language: “Meanwhile our political relation to Cuba is altogether oe he Ui seeing that for any injury ae e United States or its citizens in Cul We have no direct means of redress there, and can obtain it only by slow and cireuitgps action by way of Madrid. The captain.general of Cuba has, in effect, by the laws of Spain, au- preme and absolute authority there for all purposes of wrong to out citizens; but this government has no adequate means of de- randing immediate reparation for such ‘wrongs on the spot, except through a con- sul, who does not possess diplomatic character, and to whose representations, therefore, the captain general may, if he choose, absolutely refuse to listen: * * ¢ * In these onan ae uestion what decision the ited Shall take is a serious and difficul c not to be oceans without Siete co sideration 0! complex elements of do- mestic and foreign policy, but the deter- amination of which may at any moment be forced upon us by in Spain or in Cuba.” + > ple ee ee mater soak the mae which our citizeris tn Cuba suffered at hands of h in the 1868 and 1 be the law- Jess Spanish official could find a pretext, CURING BRONCHIAL CATARRH THE SYMPTOMS. “Have you a cough?” you Is your cough short and hacking’ Do you spit up little cheesy lumps ‘Have you a disgust for fatty foods? * Is there a tickling behind the palate? “Do you feel you are- growing weaker? there a burning pain in the throat?’* Have you pain behind the breastbone?” Do you cough worse night and morning? Do you have to sit up at night to get breath?” Mr. W. Kelly, 318 L St. S.E. Cured of bronchial catarrh. We publish this week for the first time the case of Mr. W. Kelly of 318 L street southeast. This case is a striking example of the serious results that may and frequently do follow neglected ca- tarrh. It exemplifies what Doctors MeCoy and Cowden have been urging upon the people, and that fs, the early treatment of Catarrh, thereby preventing the very serious results which otherwise are quite sure to happen. Mr. Kelly’s case is an example of neglected Catarrh. He says: “I had had Catarrh for quite a number of years; had never given it any attention, because the pre- vailing Ider was that nothing tmuch could be done I therefore let it go on from time for such cases to time, paying no attention to it. T bad all the ese of Catarrh of nose, symptoms of an ordinary throat and bronchial tubes; canght cold easily: ‘@ good deal of mucas in coughed a little, secreted the nose and throat. “About two years ago, one evening while sitting talking to a party of friends, L was attacked by an Unusually severe coughing spell, when suddenly, without any warning or any premonitory symptoms of any kind, I was taken with a severe hemor- rhage. I coughed up blood, which flowed from my throat in large quantities,’ surely not less than a half a pint. This attack not only alarmed me, but it weakened me very much. It prostrated me so that I had to quit work. TI lost flesh, became weaker, the cough increased, and I became a wreck ‘of iny former self. I never was a very heavy man, my average weight being 134 pounds, and the amount of flesh I lost showed very great in my case. I do not suppose I weighed very much more than 100 pounds. several whom I their treatment did not seem to reach my case, although they gave me every attention. Their remedies seemed insuffi- clent. Nothing helped the cough, nothing helped my appetite, nothing gave me strength and noth- ing gave me sleep at night. My friends, as well as myself, thought that I had consumption. My cough was dreadful; T fearful headaches, “All this time I was not able to do any labor of even the lightest character (and my work 18 not heavy). I was almost in despair. I had noticed for some time the advertisements of Doctors Me- Coy and Cowden in the papers, and finally on morning I told my wife that I belleved that’ I would call upon these physicians and see what they thought -of my case.” I noticed that they Were not charging anything for consultation and 2 trial of their treatment. ‘This seemed like a very generous and reasonable offer, and I felt that I had nothing to lose, and possibly something to gain, by a consultation with them. They gave me 4 careful examination, and informed me that mine was an aggravated case of Bronchial Catarrh, and that it had evidently existed for years, and had year by year grown worse and worse, until finally the strain of a very severe cough had ruptured the membrane, which had been made delicate and sen- sitive through disease. This accounted for the bleeding. I cock their treatment for some time. I was encouraged in the continuance of the treat- peut from the fact that almost from the start my dition improved. Within a month my cough as better, my appetite was improved, and I was gaining in weight. It was not long before I was able to work. I find the treatment easy, and I am only too pleased to now state that my condition is one of apparent health. My cough practically amounts to nothing; I sleep all night; am not dis- tarbed at all, aud’ my strength and weight bave returned. I welgh as much as I ever did in my life, and am able to do a hard day's work.

I feel perfectly justified in urging every one who has eaturrhal troubles of any kind to apply to these physicians for an examination and trial of their methods.”” A FREE TRIAL. NO HIGH FEES.

And it is a humiliating reflection that when the “White Squadron” should have been in Cuban waters, they were maneuvering on dress parade at Newport or Bar Harbor.
