Farmers, do not allow a bone t O go
to waste on your place. Put a half
bushel Of strong ashes in a barrel and
ten gallons of water and into this throw
all the bones from your table. Save
every handful of ashes and utilize them
as in the manner stated in The PROGRESS

to make manure for the next years

out in the yard to be robbed of it's best
manurial properties by the action of rain
and sunshine. Keep it sheltered.

"The SWelled Head. ="

The above term, like "chest-
nuts" originated in the dramatic
profession, and is thus applied
When man becomes so puffed
UP with a sense of his own i'm
portance as to imagine the pub
lie is deeply interested in every
move he makes and every word
he utters, men Of well-balanced
minds quietly suggest "swelled
head" 1t generally develops
on men of small physique and
linn t d intellect. "Swelled
heads" are to be found in vari-
GUS walks of life, even in the
clothing business, where they
really imagine you are COM
PEELED to buy your raiment
from them and pay exorbitant
prices for the goods you pur-
chase--simply for the HONOR of
having their names on the clothes
you wear
Now, there is nothing abnor-
NAL about the size of our orani-
ums-just mere common, ordi-
nary, everyday kind of heads
We do not claim to have q mo-
nopoly of the honor, the integ-
rity, or the business of our city,
but we make the modest and
well-founded claim of having as
fine and well-selected a stock of
Clothing for men and boys as
was ever exhibited in Washing
ton, and we sell them at prices
that a light expense account,
combined with care and judg-
ment in buying, can alone enable
us to do.
This week especially we would
respectfully ask you to look in
our show windows, and we are
much mistaken If the goods and
prices there exhibited will not
tempt you to invest in an over-
coat, a suit, or pair of trousers
for yourself or your boys, Our
goods, whether for man, youth,
boy, or child, are correct in cut,
faultless in make, and perfect In
fit, Our prices are lower than
the lowest.

The Woman's Christian Temperance Union
held a prayer meeting yesterday afternoon
at their Central Union Mission, 900 Pcnu-
sylyania avenue. The room was crowded.
aud people were coming and going during
the entire session. Rev. Dr. Bartlett was
the first to speak. He thought that taking
the country by storm, as the Prohibtlonists
intended, would hardly accomplish the
purpose, but that the plan devised by the
ladies to gain the point by more moderate
legislation was a sensible one. Mrs. NJ. Nj.
Chaplin gave very impressive address, and
introduced Rev. Mr.. Kraus, who is con-
nccted With the temperance work at South
America. lie gave a few humorous anec-
dotes of his experiences I'm barrOoms at that
place. which were very well received.
Rev. Dr. Nuylor pictured wildly the ef-
fects Of intemperauce by brief story OF a
schoolmate, who, he said, was head and
shoulders above the rest at school, and whom
he found one morning before breakfast
with lot Of bones, which he had collected
from the butchers to sell to the barlSCepers
for morning drink. Another sad case was
that OF a young married man who visited
Niagara with his wife and child, and who
secretly drank. After describing to them
the romantic scenery OF the falls, having In
mind no doubt the final result OF his weak
ness he jumped with his child to the terrible
abyss below, leaving his wife TO become o
maniac.
Mrs. VIM. Burris gave an affective &C.
count Of her experience in the work.
Miss l.. A. Chase made few remarks
after which Rev. Mr.. Kramer, connected
with the work among sailors, spoke of the
temptations which surrounded that class
The remarks were interspersed with
hymns and by testimonies of the turning
| points in lives, brought about by the inilu-
ence Of the Temperance Union. The meet
ing lasted four hours, and was interesting
and enthusiastic,

TIE WHITAKER TRIAL.
A Dull Days Proceedings in a False
Voucher Case.


Voucher Case.
The day dragged slowly along in the
criminal court yesterday, and the interest
in the trial Of Granville A. Whitaker,
charged with presenting five false vouchers
to the Navy Department, seemed to have
almost entirely disappeared. From the
opening Of the court up to o'clock the
prosecution occupied the time in proving
papers. The government then offered the
disputed vouchers in evidence. Objection
was made on the ground of variance,
Argument followed, and then the court
declined TO sustain the objection and per-
mitted the vouchers TO be read TO the jury.
The point was made that the indictment
was insufficient ard bad In every count, but
the court declined to hear argument upon 1t
at that stage Of the trial; neither would the
court anticipate by ntimating what the
ruling nigh. be at that time,
TesticIuny was introduced for the purpose
Of showing that the articles named in the
vouchers were never received by the bureau,
and this branch of the case had not been
completed when the jury was rcspited to
next Monday.

cause the petitioner neglected TO comply
with the statute and state that the adultery
was committed without his consent, con,
nivanee, or procurement. The Judge also
declined to grant Edward Freeman d.
