There is no doubt that the life of the great poet was greatly prolong- ed by drinking the waters of the Sprudel Spring. We have the Spru- del Spring brought to us in the form of Salt, which is obtained by evapor- ation from the waters of Carlsbad. The Carlsbad Sprudel Salt (pow- der form) dissolves tenacious bile, allays irritation and removes obstruc- tions by aiding nature. It acts soothingly and without pain.

Pearre has just been elect- ed to Congress by the largest majority ever given to a republican candidate in the sixth congressional district of Maryland, carry- ing for the first time in the history of the district all five of the counties. The ma- jority in Allegany county was the largest ever given a candidate on a republican ticket in that county, and his majority in the town of Cumberland is likewise the largest ever given to any candidate. He ts the son of the late Judge George Mrs. Pearre. Alexander Pearre, one of the most gifted and talented lawyers and judges of the State, who was for many years the leader of the bar of Allegany county, and one of the most prominent members of the Mary- land bar. He was one of tne most active and leading adherents of the Union, and Was most persistent and constant in his ef- forts to keep Maryland in the Union by de- feating the ordinance of secession in the Maryland legislature, and going upon the bench immediately after the war, tempered his zeal as an advocate with mercy, and ad- ministered jusiice equally. Col. Pearre was educated at St. James College, the University of West Virginia and Princeton College, and, after the usual course of law, graduated at the law school of the Maryland University in Baltimore in May, 1882. In 1887 he located for the prac- tice of law in Cumberland, where he has pursued his practice with great success ever since. In 188) he was elected to rep- resent Allegany county in the state senate of Maryland, where he immediately took a front rank among the leaders of his party in that body, In 1895 he was elected prose- y cut for Allegany county by a majority of 1,400, whigh office he Is now filling.

He is directly descended from Richard Smith, the first attorney general of the state of Maryland. Also from Gov- ernor Roger Brooks, a-colonial governor of ‘Maryland. The distinguished Sugist, Hobert Brooke Taney, was a membertigt thié family. Col- onel Thomas Price, one of the judges of the Frederick county court who declared the stamp act illegal, ten years before the battle of Lexington was foilght, and who was a distinguished officer in the revolu- tionary war, participating jn the battles around Boston, was the gredt-great-grand- father of Cotonel Pearre. Edward Dorsey, Captain John Worthington and Joseph Sim Smith, prominent in the early history of the nation, were also his ancestors. The family included Sewalls, Halls, Sims and many other prominent families’ of colonial times. tors[were from the A Word of Mrs. Pearre. The bride, Elizabeth G. Shoup, who has rare personal charms, is the daughter of Henry M. Shoup and Emily Winfield Shoup of Virginia, and is descended on her moti- er’s side from an old New York family of English origin, the Winfields having been among the first settlers of the beautiful county of Ulster of New York, and since the earliest days closely identified with the social, religious and political annals of that historic region. Her maternal grandfather, Dr. Richard Winfteld, settled in Virginia in his early life, where he practiced medicine with success and distinction. The paternal side of the family is of a distinguished line of Holland ancestors. —ee TEN-MILE ROAD RACE. Annual Cycling Event Tomorrow.

There has been sent to the investigating commission of the War Departmert a re- port of Major General Breckinridge, in spector general, dated July 25, making com- ments upon the Santiago campaign. This report {s thought to be necessary to the commission since the testimony of General Breckinridge recently given before it. In it eGneral Breckinridge speaks of the diffi- culties encountered all through the cam- paign, and {s high in his praise of the of- ficers and men, line and staff, both regular and volunteer. Near the end of his report are some interesting conclusions, which follow: “The earnestness and skill is doubtless recognized with which ail that pertained to this expedition was driven and done re- gardless of the cust of health or life and of financial Joss, with meatal and physical strain to the utmost upon every individual, especially those in the trenches. General Shafter seemed to perform six men’s worl and the organizations displayed a coh rence and power that won universal admi- ration and made every call upon the forces fully met from squad and company leader up, under circumstances iHustrated by the successive loss of four brigade commanders within half an hour.” Further along, General Breckinridge speaks in the highest terms of General Lawton, and ad. “And it is believed his Immediate com- mander (Genera! Shafter), whose force and energy are also phenomenal, appreciates the soldierly qualities of his loyal subordi- nate fully, as on his recommendation pro- moon has been given for conduct on the field.” Of General Shafter General Brickinridge says: “Of course, his immediate superiors, both in advance of and since the Santiaro ex- pedition, have carefully determined the military and personal qualitie the com- manding officer of this e but if permitted me it seems il bear mony to the ener- ‘ion and self-re! ul Shafter ned mili ed Gene distingui hroughout honorable purse during adventure cone this proceeding dominant spiri ed Oppre: with re! and care, the fate of his army to a succe: glorious issue.

SEASONAL AVERAGE IS BROKEN | Drop Expected to Reach Twenty Degrees Above Zero. ed IT WiLL MODERATE sa SS THEN The rain-clad forces of Gen. Low fell back before the wind and frost-dealing legions of Gen. High in the engagement over this city last night. The former Is in full retreat up the New England country today, with his victor in frigid pursuit. Old Sol attempted intervention this noon in be- half of the vanquished Low and sent heat giving rays to Earth, but even these were set at naught by Capt. Jack Frost's bat- talions. The cold wave is upon the city and its folds will become icier and icler until to- morrow morning. Last night before 11 o'clock the temperature was at 50 degrees, but at the hour named the threatened wave, without sngw, swept in from the west and the mercury sank in the bulb with Spanish celerity. This morning at 8 o'clock the fall was at 34 degrees, two above freezing, but at noon the sun had modified conditions one degri bringing the temperature to 35.

The work of equipping the Eckington street railroad, now the City and Subur- ban, with the underground electric s. was begcn today, when a gang of me the employ of Mr. Saxton, the contra swarmed along the line, beginning at Florida avenue and New York avenue. The scene that is now familiar to the people of Washington, from their having witnessed similar work along the lines of the Met- ropolitan and Capital Traction railways, was renacted at this point. At a little 4 tance the scene suggested a street filed with a crowd, but a nearer inspection show- ed that the coup'e hundred men cr so were distributed along the line of the road. ‘The rs that formerly ran down New York avenue now come down the other branch of the road on North Capitol street. For the present the work will not go farther West than Sth and G streets, as it fs the intention not to tear up G street until all the iron work is on hand. When the New Ycrk avenue Ine is fin- ished then work will be begun on the lines running through the eastern portion of the city. —— SHREWD WORK. Pickpocket Robs a Man at a Bank Counter. A’singular, as well as a clever, exhibition of skill In picking pockets occurred yester- day in one of the large uptown banks. A gentleman was standing with a friend at the coanter counting some money he had just drawn from the bank. He had fin- ished running over a roll containing 300 ene-dollar bills, and had placed it tempo- rarily in one of the outside pockets of his overcoat. He then began counting over an- ether roll of bills, and when he had finished he put his hand in his pocket to get the other roll, when, to his astonishment, it was gone. His friend, who all this time was standing near him watching him count over the bills, was equally amazed, as he had not noticed any one standing near. No one in the bank saw the thief or had ny knowledge of the deed until the loss was announced. There is no clue to work cn and no hope is entertained that the money will be recovered. ——._—_. Lieut. Fennessey Exonerated. An army court-martial has entirely ex- onerated Lieut. J. G. Fennessey, quarter- master of the 9th Massachusetts, of charges brought against him by officers of that regiment of cowardice and with failing in his duty as quartermaster. The board not only exonerates Fennessey, but finds: “That the allegations made in the public press of Boston referred to the court of in- quiry for investigation are false, unfounded and _maiicious. “That Capt. George F. H. Murray, Com- pany B; Capt. John H. Dunn, Company I, and Second Lievtenant Michael J. Des- mond, Company B, and Second Lieutenant James A. Cully, Company I, all of the 9th Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer Infan- try, are subjects for military discipline.” eS aE ee A Plague in Russia.

The Samarkand district Hes on the river Zeravshan, in the Turkes- tan region, 2,465 miles southeast from Mos- cow and east of the Caspian sea. The phy- sicians report the symptoms of the disease, without any bacteriological analysis, as be- ing very similar to the plague. The first case occurred in the village of Marzin, near Anzov, and the number of deaths increased rapidly.
