Representative Jones of Washington yes- terday introduced a joint resolution to pro- tect the Americans in Cuba which directs the President immediately to order all ves- sels of war of the United States in the vi- cinity of Cuba to proceed to Havana with out delay to protect all American citizens there and to bring away in safety all who desire to leave the island. Representative Pearson has introduced a joint resolution recognizing the independ- ence of the Cuban republic and authorizing the President to intervene to establisa that independence. The marine lamprey’s adhesive power is such that 121 pounds may be raised with- cut forcing ft to lose its hold. It is so tenacious of life that its head remains for ours attached to a stone when its body is severed. ‘ ‘There are men who imagine that out-door work is a sovereign cure for all ills. The; work like slaves at thei business, take insuffi- cient time to rest and sleep, and abuse and neglect their health in every way. Then, when they break down, they eeed) on just as before, except that in addition to cae usual work, they go out eve: day and spaile & little in their gar- dens, or try to imitate Mr. Glad- f@stone by cutting down a ae or chopping the fam- - il Reece jore ridiculous method of curing a man who is suffering from nervous exhaus- tion and is threatened with nervous pros- tration couid not be well conceived. A man who has overworked does not need more work, but less work and more rest. The man who has lost his appetite needs some- thing to restore it. The man whose nerves are shattered needs something to tone and strengthee them. Get the nerves right and sound, and retest seer will follow. A man who sleeps well and eats well, and digests and assimilates his food will not remain ill. In cases of this kind Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery goes to bed rock—to first causes. It creates a hearty appetite; it makes the digestion and assimilation perfect; it invigorates the liver; it purifies the blood and fills it with the life-giving elements of the food. It builds up new. fiesh, new muscle and new nerve fibres. It is an unfailing cure for nervous exhaustion and Ec peomiaos and the best of all medicines for overworked men and wo- tion.

From the earliest times it has been observed with the greatest strictness, and encient writers mention that during the week Christians were wont ta fast on one neal of bread, salt and water taken in the evening, while many absta‘ned from food all the week, and a still greater, number took no nourishment durit.g Good Friday and holy Saturday. Many devout members of the Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran and Re- fermed churches follow the latter observ- ance at the present day. Im Catholic Churchen, In the Catholic churches the week begins with Palm Sunday, when palms are blessed and distributed to recall the cireumstances surrounding the triumphant entry of Christ into Jerusalem. On, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings the office of tenebrae (darkness, from the darkening of the churches) is chanted. It consists of matins and lauds ior the following mornings, which it is customary to recite over night. Dur- ing this impressive ceremony a large can- Giestick, bearing fifteen tapers, placed In the form of a triangle, is put near the altar, representing the light of Christ and of the prophets who announced his com- ing. As the psalms are sung the tapers are extinguished untfl only the topmost re- nains. ‘his, as it represents Christ, is taken down and carried behind the altar during the miserere, after which it is put back in {ts place, to signify the tem- porary extinction of the light of Christ between His death and resurrection. Holy Thursday, today, betng the anniversary of the institution of the eucharist and of the priesthood, is distinguished by ceremonies of great significance in cathedral churches. In Rome the pope washes the feet of thir- teen poor persons at the end of thé solemn high mass, in memory of the body of the apostles raised to that number by the ex- traordinary calling of St. Paul. This cus- tom gives to the day the name of Maundy Thursday. During the Gloria in Exceisis all bells are rung, and then remain silent until the gloria in excelsis in the mass on Holy Saturday. In large Cathelle churches a separate altar, called the sepuichre, is magnificently decorated, and during high mass on Holy Thursday, a large host, consecrated during the mass, is carrizd in procession to it, where the host remains and is visited by the faithful during the entire ensuing day. Good Friday Observances. On Good Friday the altar is denuded to signify the desolation of the church, the prophecies are chanted, which pertain to the story of Christ's suffering, the whole body of the fatthful perform the adora- tion of the cross, the passion, according to the Gospel of St. John, is chanted, hest is brought buck <rom tha and consumed. by® the» csiebrant of 1 mass. On Holy Saturday the services in Catho- lic churches begin wit-the biessing of the “new fire,” obtained from flint and steel, because true vital. ight and warmth came from Ctrist, the fock., Then follows the biessing of the paschal cardie, an emblem of Christ arisen, pad jhe chanting of the prophecies of the Ol’ Testament pointing to Christ's resurrection In the Eptscopal,)/Lutheran and reformed church2s the week is observed by special services and cerempnies fea BOARD OF TRADP. Meeting Tonight at Carroll In- xtivate Hall. The board of trade holds a meeting to- night at Carroll inStitute Hall, 10th street, near K, at 7:30. The committees on insur- ance, mercantile interests,pulbuc ltbrary and public order will present topics for constd- eration. The new proposed insurance bill will be discussed and other important mat- ters will come up. — APPREHENSIVE OF TROUBLE. Critical Time in Cuba and Spain Dear- ing the Next Few Days. 3 The State Department officials have been anticipating with considerable apprehen- sion the coming Easter holidays in Spain and Cuba. It is at such times that the people, especially when great national questions are uppermost in the public mind, are apt to give way to their feelings and indulge in riotous demonstrations. These holidays began today—Holy Thursday—and continue for several days. Most of the business houses and all of the places of amusement are closed from Thursday to Sunday, and consequently many idle people assemble at public places and on .ne thor- oughfares. Sunday many of the shops are opened for haif a day, being closed at noon to permit the employes to indulge in vari- ous pastimes and sports and to attend the bull fights, which are so popular in both Spain and Cuba: In view of the very strained relations existing at this time be- tween Spain and the United States, the assemblage of large crowds in public places may, it is feared, lead to uprisings and to demonstrations against American citizens who may reside in Spain or Cuba. 2 COAL OUTPUT OF 1897.. The Amount Produced in This Coun- try Broke the Record. From a preliminary statement compiled by E. W. Parker, statistician of the United States geological survey, it is shown that the total output of coal in the United States in 1807 amounted approximately to 198,250,000 short tons, with an aggregate value. of $198,100,000, a fraction less than $1 per ton. Compared with 1996, this shows an increase in tonnage of 6,270,000 tons, or about 3.3 per cent. The increase in the valus of the product was only $1,700,000, a little less than nine- tenths of 1 per cent. ‘The amount of coal preducad in 1897 was the largest on record, The average value per ton was the lowest ever known, continuing the declining tend- ency which has been shown without any reaction for the past six years. Considering the industry by stat2s, Penn- sy!vania holds her ugual p mitton. The com- bined product of antaracite and bituminous coals from the keystone state amounted to 106,000,000 short tons, nearly 54 per cent of the total output. *!

Charge Preferred Aga t James Verser and Robert Mills. The trial, begun yesterday, of James J. Mills, indicted for the larceny of 6,000,000 envelopes, the prop- erty of the United States, was continued today before Chief Justice Bingham in Criminal Court No. 1. Messrs. John C. Chaney, Thomas G. Hensey, Alphonso Hart and Leonard J. Mather appear as counsel for the defendants, Assistant District At- torney Shillington representing the gov- ernment. Representative Joseph W. Babcock of Wisconsin, who was chairman of the re- publican congressional campaign commit- , was one of the witnesses for the gov. ernment. He testified that the envelopes in question were of the sort issued to sen- ators and representatives. At the close of the campaign there were 6,000,000 enyel- opes remaining on hand in the Globe build- ing. Representative Babcock stated that the defendants were without authority to remove the envelopes. Mr. Brainard H. Warner, who was vice president of the McKinley and Hobart Cempaign Club, which held its meetings at the Globe building, told the jury that Ver- ser and Mills, so far as he was concerned, were not authorized to remove the en- yelopes from the building. Several wagon drivers testified to hauling eighty or ningty loads of envelopes, at the irstance of one of the defendants, to the establishment of Dealer Hoffmaier. The letter testified to having received and paid for the envelopes. The trial, it is thought, will not be con- cluded until Monday next. ———— COLUMBIA AND MARYLAND R. R. Section of the Line in Baltimore Nearly Completed. Work on the line of the Columbia and Maryland railroad lying within the limits of the city of Baltimore is about compiet- ed, and by the 20th instant it is expected that cars will be running. The tracks and poles are in place, and the overhead wires are being strung. The portion of the road which will be put in condition to be operated extends from Saratoga and Howard streets west on Sar- toga to Monroe, to Franklin, and west on Franklin as far as the tracks of the Balti- more and Potomac railroad. Power will be obtained probably from the Belt Line pow- er house, as the company has no power house of its own ready for operation. This action has been taken because of the question that has been raised regarding the expiration of the time fixed by the charter granting the right to construct the ire. It has been contended that the time expires on April 20. Officials of the com- pany, however, do not entertain the same opinion, but to avoid any difficulty it has been determined to complete the line at once. The property of this company, which also includes the proposed electric road between this city and Baltimcre and the Belt and Eckington and Washirgton and Maryland railroads in this city and District, was re- certly sold under foreclosure proceedings and was purchased by the Baltimore Se- curity and Trading Company, the corpor- ate form of the syndicate that acquired the properties some months ago. The thirty days’ time for the court’s rat- ification of the sale to the company will not expire for several weeks. AS soon as the sale is ratified a reorganization of the railway company will take place, after which, it is understood, the line from Bal- timore to Ellicott City will be completed as scon as possible and put in operation. There is now pending in Congress a bill to consolidate the railroad properties above referred to within the city and District, and then the plan is, as outlined by Mr. O. T. Crosby, the representative in this city of the owners, to secure money by a bond issue and equip the Eckington line within the limits of the city with the underground system, and the portion of the roads out- side of the city to the District line with the overhead system, and aiso to complete a line as far as Laurel, Md. Mr. Crosby says that as soon as the necessary authority is obtained trom Con- gress the work will be begun, and that the money which it is estimated will be re- quired, amounting to about one million and a half of dollars, has been secured and is now available for use. It is expected the Belt ratiroad wili be sold under proceedings brought by the bondholdeiz, and a bill is also pending in Congress to allow the purchasers to op- erat? the road as a corporation. ee TO RAISE A COMPANY. Mevement of Graduates of the East- ern High School. A company of volunteers, in case a war ers, track athletes, base ball players and bicyclists will be given the preference in enlistment. The recruiting will not be re- stricted to ex-High School cadets, as a number of Columbian University students and others will be enlisted. A meeting of those desiring to enlist in this company will be called in a few days. — Released From Workhouse. Frank C. Pratt, the Bostonian who was arrested here ten days ago by Detective Weedon because of his alleged suspicious ecnduct, was released from the workhouse tcday. Friends of the man interested them- selves in his behalf, and sent money to pay his way home. This afternoon Detective Gallagher put him on the train and started him toward Boston. Prayer Meet In obedience to a call issued by the Na- uonal, the District W. C. T. U. will hold an all-day prayer meeting tomorrow at headquarters, 910 F street. The reason for the meeting is for guidance and direction in the work against the liquor power, and especially for the safe and honorable guld- ance of the country in the present crisis. ee Adjusted 0: of Court. The petition for divorce filed February 10 last by Eleanor R. Conley against Wm. L. Conley, was today dismissed by Albert | Sillers, solicitor for Mrs. Conley, at her re- quest.
