Potomac Fruit Growers,

A meeting the Potomac Fruit Growers was
held at the Board of Trade rooms yesterday;
Judge Gray presided, and j. E. Snodgrass
acted as secretary.
A communication was received from the Gen.
tennial commission notifying the association
that the necessary preparations were made for
display of grapes and apples.
A letter was read which had been addressed
to the secretary.tom Mr.. N. Dinner, of Day
ton, Ohio, who had been present at the last
meeting, complimenting the association upon
its successful working, and expressing him
self especially pleased with the fruit ex-
hibited at that meeting. He spoke of the
essays read by Mr.. Saul and Prof. Brainsrd,
which, he said, accorded exactly with his ex-
perience, ard asked for a copy of them when
ready.
Mr.. Dinner has an orchard of about s, 900
trees near Dayton, of which about 4, 900 are
pear trees.
the Centennial, and expressed the opinion that
the display of fruits there was not such as to
reflect credit upon the country.
Judge Gray spoke of his visit to the exhibit
tion, referring TO the Inconvenience he had ex-
perienced. He thought if the fruit from their
association had been exhibited under more
favorable circumstances the display would
have compared favorably with any on exhibi-
ton.
Mr.. John Fl. Wendall, George NJ. Langston,
Prof. Taylor and Mr.. Singer were admitted to
membership.
A paper was read by Vice President Gilling-
ham on the subject of the pear tree blight,

A Minister Sued for SANDER.

Messrs. T. P. B. Sands and Henry Wise Gar
nett have, for Carrie L. Louden, entered suit
against Joseph s. Thompson for slander. She
states that she was in December last a men,
Der in good standing of the African Methodist
Episcopal Union Bethel church, of which de-
fendant was and is pastor; and certain wicked
persons, intending to defame aud injure her,
charged her with grossly immoral conduct,
and feeling aggrieved, and seeking within the
Church to have her good name vindicated and
to be brought to confront her slanderers, she
preferred charges against them and submitted
them to the pastor (the defendant), but he
disregarded his duty, and willfully and mali
ciously intending to injure her and to defeat
her efforts, totally disregarded the charges
preferred by her, and summoned her to appear
and answer certain frivolous charges preferred
by one of plaintiffs slanderers, MARY E.
Gocden,) in effect charging plaintiff with pre-
ferring the charges; that when she appeared
ready with her witnesses to answer the charges
the defendant, willfully intending to do her
wrong and harrass her, postponed the trial
until December p, when she was again present
with witnesses, and without evidence and in
gross violation of the rules of the church the
defendant procured an irregular finding of
guilty, and subsequently (on the ID of Jan
usry lastJ he, with intent to iniure her in her
good name, expelled her from membership,
thereby iDjuring and intending to injure her,
causing the foul and malicious ISLANDERS to be
believed, by reason of which premises she has
been injured, and she claims 5000 damages.

Caution tn the Puhlie.

The merit and success of Benson's Capcine
Porous Plasters are already clearly estab-
lished. This indisputable fact has brought
out number of imitators, who seek to be
benefited by imposing upon the public ar
ticles under the name of Capsicin and Capsi-
cum Plasters, as being articles similar TO Ben
sons. Be not deceived. Their composition is
entirely different, and in no respect the same.
The words Capcine will hereafter be cut in
every plaster to insure the consumer against
counterfeits or limitations. Benson's Capcine
Porous Plasters are now conceded to be the
most effective remedy ever offered to the pub
lie. They give instant relief and cure quicker
than any known plaster, liniment or compo-
sition. They cure where other porous plasters
simply relieve. They contain neither metallic
or mineral poisons. They are indorsed by
over two thousand druggists of excellent repu-
tation. Price 25 cents. Can be obtained of
any druggist. SEABURY & JOHNSON,

stantly relieved and quickly cured. Benson's
Capcine Porous Plasters are great and
needed improvement over the slow action of
the ordinary article. They effect in a few
hours that whi.h other Porous Plasters re-
quire days and weeks of continuous wear to
accomplish. They will positively cure diseases
which others simply relieve. They are purely
vegetable, and do not contain metallic or min
eral poisons. Their action is superior to cleo
tricity, and more powerful. Try them. Price

syrod Of Narylsna-Ths Welcome Meeting.

syrod Of Marylt ni-The Welcome Meeting.
Tie Evangelical Lutheran Synod Of Mary
land assemblies to-day IN the Memorial church,
Fourteenth street circle. A welcome meeting
was held in the fine audience chamber of the
church last evening. The church had beel
trimmed and decorated for the occagion.
Across the Gothic arch, in the rear of the
pulpit, all read in large letters, "Memorial
Greetirgs." The motto "The world for
Christ" spanned the choir gallery. The floral
display about the platform was profuse, and
tastefully arranged. The president OF the
synod, Rev. 8. W. Owen, of Hagers,own, oc-
cupied the chair. The people of the church,
the children of the Sunday-school and the
orphans from the Home, Fourteenth and s
streets, by invitation, participated in the well
come. Programmes of the entire service were
distributed, and the whole audience Joined in
the responsive service-reading the Scripture
lesson arranged for the occasion, and also in
the creed and Lords prayer.
The Sunday school led the singing. the Sc
lections being of the most beautiful found in
the 'sBook of Praise" The motto exercise
was novel. The children with bouquets
formed first the word "Love," after which
"BIest be the Tie that Binds" was sung by
the whole audience. In few minutes the
motto was completed with the word swell
come" A two minute speech by Charley
Butler, of the Sunday school, bidding the
Synod q welcome from the children, was well
SPOKEN. The Rev. DR.. Barclay, of Baltimore,
president of the ChIldren's Missionary Society,
which is supporting missionaries in India,
made a neat little speech. The pastor of the
Memorial church spoke words of welcome,
which ought to make all the strangers feel at
home among the hospitable families of our
city. The president Of the Synod responded
fellcitously to the pastor warm welcome, and
introduced DR.. Morris, who made happy
speech. A liberal collection for missions con-
cIuded this interesting welcome meeting.
This morning al o'clock the synodical SER
mon of the retiring president, Rev. Mr.. Owen,
will be preached. Mr.. Owen is one of the
popular preachers of the Synod. The sessions
will continue probably five or six days, and
are all open TO the public. Religious service
will be conducted every evening in the Memo
rial church, and will be of a varied character.

Observations on the Nature, Symptoms and
Effects Of Catarrh.
BIZ DIR. HARTLEY, 7S2 TENTH STREET.


Among the list of chronic diseases which
affect the human frame catarrh is the one
most prevalent, most offensive, most pro-
ductive of discomfort, and most liable to a
variety of dangerous and distressing compli-
cations.
Thousands are annually FASTENED to q
premature grave from its pernicious effects,
and no doubt thousands are at this moment
slowly perishipg under its fatal influence,
ignorant of the cause of their declining health.
1t was in fact, the destructive influence of this
disease and its alarming prevalence that first
attracted the writer's attention, and 1t is with
pardonable pride that he refers to the fact Of
having been the first physician who made this
disease special study, and originated sys-
tenn of treatment calculated to effect radical
and permanent cure.
Catarrh man!fests itself by discharge from
the head, varying in its nature in different
cases, and even in the same individual at diff
ferent times. 1t may be thin, colorless, ,acrid
fluid, or q glary, starch-like substance: gen.
orally, however, 1t is a thick, purulent, or
muco-purulent matter, either greenish-yelio
or of q deep green tint, occasionally streaked
or lecked with blood. So copious and Often
sive is the discharge in many cases that the
patient feels as though the whole head was in
a state of corruption.
Mucn OF tne ulscnarge passes backward lnJO
the throat, or collects as a tough, viscid
phlegm behind and above the soft palate, in
the passage between the throat and the head,
creating a constant and almost irresistible de-
sire to obtain relief by "hawking," a practice
characteristic of catarrh, aad SIS embarrassing
to the one affected as 1t is disagreeable to those
around. Often the phlegm is so tenacious
that the most persistent and exhaustive efforts
fail to dislodge it until some food or stimulant
is swallowed.
Again the offensive matter deposits itself IN
the nasal cavities in the shape of dry, hard
crusts, which, in some cases, accumulates to
such an extent as to form q regular plug, OBJ
structipg breathing and producing serious dis
comfort. This condition is indicative of ulcer
alton, which in time may destroy the bony
structure of the nose, and produce its subse-
quent fattening.
The breath is always tainted, and some
times is so revoltingly offensive as to render
the sufferer an object of disgust to himself as
well as to others, and cases are occasionally
met with in which the stencil is really over
powering, and sufficiently fetid to poison the
atmosphere of whole room. Thus person
affected with catarrh lives continually in an
impure atmosphere of bis own surrounding,
and inhales a poisonous efiilYia with every
breath.
DR.. Hartley may be consulted at his resi-
dence, 7S2 Tenth street, near Grant Place.
