Cleans the Streets.
There lately died in North Shields,
England, al the age Of "A years, an
lrishman named Edward jennings who
was q street sweeper, and entitled TO
wear the Victoria Cross. He served his
time as a soldier in the East India Com,
pany, and II was for a deed Of ValOr
during the siege Of Lucknow that he
won the cross
Along with six others of bis troop,
he had been intTusted TO take a dis
patch 10 a certain captain. On the re-
turn Journey the party heard the cries
Of q European. While his mates kept
watch Jennings went of 20 learn what
the cries meant
After galloping along a narrow street
he found a British officer, with his
back 10 the wall and bayonet ia hand
holding at bay a crowd Of natives
AIMED with small swords Jennings
cunningly shouted out in the native
tongue: They are coming They are
coming"
Whereupon the assailants lied az
once, six Of their number having mean
while been eut down by the h0rsemau.
Then Jennings dismounted, examined
as best be could the wounds Of the
lieutenant, gave him some drink, put
him on bis horse and succeeded I'M

For this brilliant action Jennings OBJ

HOW IT sTARTED.
A Friendly Favor TO wounded Soldier
Originates n National Custom


Originates n National Custom.
The late Hon. } F. Tumbull of Con-
nectieut was called "the friend OF the
soldiers, because Il was through his infiu-
ence that water was furnished to sick and
wounded soldiers while travelling during
the war. This practice has further de-
velOped into the universal American habit
Of drinking ice-water on all available occa-
sions. So universal has this become, that
70 may be called our national habit, and II
has begotteu a craving for ice-water that Is
quite appalling. The Introduction Of the
water-cooler in Offices Is bad. Most water
is filed with the germs Of disease and It's
cold action on the stomach checks diges-
ton, lowers the tone Of the stomach and
brings about dyspepsia, with all It's at
tendant Ills This evil, which Is the cause
Of more summer sickness and kidney dis
ease than any other known cause, can
readily be avoided by mixing a little pure
whiskey with the drinking water. Thus
the stomach can be stimulated into healthy
action and It's tone retained. Not only this.
but pure whiskey mixed with the water
Kills the germs OF any disease that may be
lurking IN the water and thus avoids mala-
ria and the thousand ills which come dur
ing the heated term. But, while whiskey
is a great benefit, u must be pure whiskey,
and unfortunately there Is little pure
whiskey IN the market. There can be not
the slightest doubt however, as 10 the alb
solute purity Of DufTy's Pure Malt 10 has
stood the test Of time. IL Is used by the
leading men and women Of the land II Is
so pure IN its nature that Il cannot harm
even q child, and 70 is doing more than any
one thing 20 check summer dangers. BE
sure TO secure the genuine. Insist on hay-
ing no other

Henry Daniels, a well.known thief,
was seen yesterday by Officer Haynes
and Rodgers coming out OF an alley on
North Capitol street with his shoes in
his hand. AS soon as he spied the Off
GERS he started to run, but a couple Of
shots in the air had the desired effect
Of bringing him to a halt lie was
locked up at the Sixth Precinct as a
suspicious character, but Il was after
wards ascertaiued that he had made an
effort to enter a house on b street
shortly before he was arrested.
In the Police Court Daniels was un-
able TO give a reasonable account of
his actions, and Judge Miller required
him TO give bonds in the sum OF 5000.
