A GOOD COMPLEXIO DEPENDS ON GOOD DIGESTION, leged th phystes ecuting Larner This Is almost an axiom, although usually we are apt to think that cosmetics, face powders, lotions, faney soaps, ete. are the secrets for securing a clear complexion, But all these are stwply superficial assistants, It Is Impossible to have a good complexion unless the digestive orguns perform their work properly, unless the stomach by properly digesting the food tukeu iuto it furnishes an abundance of puer blood, a good complexion Is impossit This is the reason so many Indies are using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because they promptly cure any stemach trouble and they have found out that perfect digestion means a perfect complexion and one that dees not require cosmetics and puw- ders to enhance its beauty. Muny Indies diet themselves or deny themselves muny articles of focd golély in order to keep their complexion When Stuart's Dyspepsia tab- lets are useu no such dieting fs necessary, take these tablets and eat ell the good, wholesome food, you want aud you need have no fear of indiges tien nor the sallow, dull complexion whieh nine women out of ten have, solely because they are suffering from some form of indigestion, Bear tu mind that beauty proceeds from good health, good health results from perfect digestion and we Lave advanced the argument to induc every man and woman to give this splendid remedy a trial. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be found in drug stores and costs but 50 cents per package. If there Is any derangement ef the stomach or bowels they will remove it and the resultant effects are gvod digestion, good health and a clear, bright complexion, BmyT&1O THE CONGRESSIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY) I Senator Teller of Colorado. : c.

Controversy Over a Proposéd Amend- ment to the Pending District Appropriation Bill. During a hearing recently given by the District Commissiorers to Mr. John G. Fay on the amendment to the pending Dis- trict appropriation bill inserted by the Sen- ate relative to payments of judgments of the Court of Claims rendered under the Provisions of the act of June 16, 1880, Mr. Fay took occasion to criticise the action of the auditor for the District, Mr. J. T. Petty, in the case. Mr. Fay declared, among other things, that for twenty years the act had been enforced with the greatest satisfaction to both the District and the claimants, and that the only mishap was in the matter of a claim which, he asserted, Mr. Petty had approved only to discover later that the claimant had been overpaid several thou- gand dollars. Replying to the statements made by Mr. Fay at the hearing, Mr. Petty has submitted to the Commissioners a state- ment. In the first instance, Mr. Petty refers to a statement made by Mr. Fay that “any assertion to the effect that a judgment of the Court of Claims had ever been paid without previous notice to the Commission- ers and an opportunity being afforded them to affirmatively approve or by silence ac- quiesce in its payment’ was absolutely false. Mr. Petty says he met this aver- ment by citing the case of Stephen Talty inst the District, and claims that Mr. Fay now admits the truth of his (Petty’s) assertion, but says the omission was an oversight on the part of the clerk. “This confession,” remarks Mr. Petty, “places ‘the shoe’ of falsehood ‘on the other foot,’ and the right one at that, where it properly belongs.” Denies the Charge. Referring further to this judgment, Mr. Petty says Mr. Fay attempted to prove that the amount of the judgment fs correct, claiming that the auditor practically brand- ed the claim as a fraudulent one and Mr. ‘Talty as a scoundrel. Mr. Petty says he did not brand the claimant as a scoundrel, and that he did not condemn the referee, merely citing the opinion of the special attor- ney for the District to the effect that the referee's report was based upon error. “AS a word juggler,” adds Mr. Petty, “Mr. Fay is a pronounced success, for one who can transmute ‘error’ into ‘fraud’ and create ‘scoundrel’ out of ‘claimant’ is a past mas- ter of the art of manipulating language and a lineal descendant of the doughty Sir Hudibras, of whom it was said,” says Mr. Petty, dropping into poetry, “‘On either side he would dispute, confute, change hands, and still confute.’” “The analogy in method,” continues Mr. Petty, “between Butler's ancient knight of logic ‘and this modern disciple of Black- stone appears still more complete when it is remembercd, as he himself reminded you, that when these old cases were first tried in the Court of Claims he, as assistant to the Attorney General, defended the govern- ment against them, but now, vice versa. he is attorney for the claimants, and using all his eloquence to compass their pay- ment.” = At the hearing before the Commissioners Mr. Fay read the following extract from the annual report of Mr. Petty relative to referees in gene! “Reports of th res often display such an extraordini lack of intelligent appreciation of the fac nd their relation in the cases under, con- deration that they would cause profound amazement but for their representative character as members of a class of produc- tions in which frequent tition dulls the edge of surprise.” eh The referee in the have been Mr. Frank H tt, now ant secretasy of the nay: Mr. Fay re- ferred to the action of the President in se- lecting one of these gentlemen who, ac- cording to the auditor's annual report, “of- ten display such an extraordinary lack of intelligent appreciation of f. and their relation to cases under consideration, to the fact that the firmed this member “of a class of produc- tions in which frequent repetition dulls the edge of surprise.” Referring to this, Mr. Petty sa “His (Fay’s) gratuitous allu- sion t referee, and hi equious defense of that gentle- man against an assault which was never made, except in Mr, Fay’s own © and superheated imagination, ig a transp: ent bid for the enlistment of a promi recruit, is dismissed as puerile and un- worthy of serious consideration.” The Proposed Amendment. The amendment inserted in the pending District apprepriation bill provides that no judgment heretofore or hereafter rendered by the Court of Claims under the act of 1880 shall be paid until said judgment shall have been reported to and specific author- ity for payment th 1 by Con- Br Such an amendme: recom- mended by Mr. Petty in Fis last annual re- port, and ameng other things said of it by Mr. Fay was that the effect of the amend- ment would be to re the law requiring ch judgments to be paid out of 3.65 bonds of the District, and make them wholly pay- able out of the revenues of the District. Existing law in that respect will nut be changed, it is claimed. Mr. Fay also charged Mr. Petty with nllowing a judg- ment of $7,000 to be paid un r the act of ry 13, 1895, notwithstanding the limant owed the District at that time -T2, and with never having done any- thing to protect the District from said al- leged overpayment. says: Janehe of accusation would be overwhelming were it not that its implica tions and insinuations, as to me, are devoid of truth in web, woof and warp, Mr. Fa in so far as I'am concerned, laying his fancy unde! pntribution for his fact * * Since the question has been howev: I am free to say that the negli gent official in the case is Mr. Fay himself, and any failure of justice, if such occurred, must be ch. - special as: overpayment, doubtl v act which he ¢ is rged up to his own laches stant it ttorney gene: made at all, Five or six ye al. The oceurred Isso, for imed to be due under his ¢ tract, the ing No. 5 on the doc et of the Court of Claims, It was Mr, duty, as the then special attorney repre- senting the District, to make answer to the suit, and then was his opportunity, in mak- ing this alleged overpayment a defense to the suit of Vandenburgh, to write its his- tory upon the records of the Department of Justice for future use. Omitting then, as the government's attorney, to thus. safe- guard its Interests, it Is strange that now, when he is arrayed against it, he should show such Intense, although belated, zeal in its behalf. His motive is open to ques- tion and suggests Virgil's warning, ‘Fear the Greeks even when they are offering presents.’ "* Public Interests Will Not Suffer. Another objection which Mr. Fay made against the proposed amendment Was that {t would deprive the District of the right of an appeal. After quoting certain authori- tles, Mr. Petty says: “As the proposed amendment does not clothe ‘the head of an executive depart- ment’ with ‘authority to revise the dec slons of the court,’ it does not fall with! the criticism of the decision quoted; and as it is in harmony with the methods of pro- cedure followed in the cases of judgments against the United States, no public inter- est will suffer from Its enactment.” oe AUTHORITIES ALARMED. Prevalence of Smallpox in Charles County, Md. Residents of the lower part of Charles county, Md., are very much alarmed be- cause of the number of cases of smallpox which have been reported in that section. Dr. Cecil, the county health officer, has the disease, and Dr. Andrew J. Smoot is acting in_his stead. ~ The board of county commissioners held a meeting last week and in addition to ap- pointing Dr. Smoot to fill the position of health officer during Dr. Cecil's illness, ad- dressed a letter to Dr. John S. Fulton, sec- retary of the state board of health, con- cerning the prevalence of the disease. In this letter the commissioners say that the first case of the disease was brought to Charles county from Washington about five weeks ago. The patient, who lives in Cobb Neck, was visited by a number of people before the disease had fully devel- oped. The commissioners state that there is no hospital or place of detention in the county, FINANCIAL. FINANCI AL.
