CAPTAIN LOUIS S. WELLS.

w
Mr.. Lewis S. Wells, who is again the cap
tain of the Columbia Athletic team, is, per
haps, the best known football player In this
city and one of the most skillful Heis quick
to discern the weak point of the team oppos-
ing him and goes for that point with all the
power at his command He is great tackler
and possesses plenty of grit and strength.
His football work commenced at Media, Pa,
when he was a student at Shortldge's Acad-
emy, and on that team he played two years In
the rush line. From Media he went to La
fayette College, but entering at the last quar-
ter of the year did not do any work on the
team. AT the commencement of the second
term he was selected to play on the Varsity
team, and in the two years that followed his
work was of the highest order and his services
were eagerly sought after by Princeton and
the University of Pennsylvania. He gradu-
ated from Lafayette In 1890 and coming here
become at once an active member OF the G. A.
g. His first appearance as footballist in
this city was against the naval cadets on
Christmas Day in 1885, his work on that oc-
casion being excellent He was elected cap
tain of the c. A. CPS In 1890, and to him more
than any one else is due the work OF winning
the championship of that year. He has been
made captain again this year, and II the
sgoyernors" will assist him In his work he
will come near making the G. A. C.'s the
champions again. In social life Mr.. Wells
is one of the most popular men in the club;
in athletic life he is all for his organization,
and when on the field never falters in per
forming work that will bring credit to his

GEORGETOWN'S PRIDE.

The football season at Georgetown has
opened and never in the history Of the college
has such enthusiasm been displayed. Over
thirty men are practicing daily and the pros
poets are the team will defeat all its old-tims
rivals. and, in all probability, could well play
against the larger college teams. A short re-
view of the team and some of the new
material will be of interest. Probably no
figure is more familiar one to those who
have for the last four years watched the foot
ball matches of the District and vicinity than
that of Captain O'Donnell, the Georgetown
giant. Four years ago he came a green
student from the West, never having taken

Various Sums Stolen From the Desks of
Department Clerks.

The officials of the Treasury Department
are engaged in looking up number of
robberies that have taken place in the various
divisions of late. The thefts commenced
about two months ago, and several clerks re-
ported the loss of sums of money from their
desks and from the closets where their
clothes were hung. The work of ferreting out
the thieves at that time was pushed vigorously
SO that the guilty party became alarmed and
stopped his purloinings and the affair was
forgotten. Last week the thefts began
afresh and again the police force of the build
ing are trying to locate the guilty party A
lady clerk in the Lighthouse Division re-
ported the loss of $140, and another in the
Military Division lost $15, in both instances

Another lady, also of the Military Division
lost in the same way seventy cents. The

are entertained that If not captured he will

ARSENIC AND AMMONIA.
Remarkable Contrast In the Effect Of Il,
Poisons on the Complexion.

Remarkable Contrast In the Effect of Two
Poisons on the Complexion.
The slow absorption of many poisons
changes in some more or less modified
form the complexion, but arsenic and
ammonia show their effect about as
quickly as any. The popular belief that
arsenic clears the complexion has led
many silly women to kill themselves
with it in small, continued doses.
II produces a waxy, ivory like appear
snce of the skin during a certain stage
of the poisoning, but its terrible after ef-
fects have become to we'll known to
make it of common use as a cosmetic.
The effects ofammonia upon the COM
plexion are directly the opposite to that
of arsenic. The first symptom of am
monia poisoning which appears among
those who work in ammonia factories is
a discoloration of the skin of the nose
and forehead. This gradually extends
over the face until the complexion has a
stained, blotched, and unsightlv appear
ance. With people who take ammonia
into their system in smaller doses, as
with their water or food, these striking
symptoms do not appear so soon. The
only effect of the poison that is visible
for time is general unwholesomeness
and sallowness of the complexion.
Many peoplear are slowly absorbing am
monia poison without knowing it. The
use Of ammonia in the manufactures has
greatly increased of late, and it is un-
questionably used as an adulterant in
certain food preparations. Official analy-
sis have plainly shown Its use even in
such cheap articles Of every day con-
sumption as baking powders. The con-
tinued absorption of ammonia in even
minute quantities as an adulterant in
food is injurious not merely from its ef
feet upon the complexion. but because it
destroys the coating of the stomach and
causes dyspepsia and kindred evils.
Professor Long of Chicago, is authori-
ty for the statement that, if 10 fifty
million parts Of water there is one part
of ammonia, the water is dangerous.

What is to be Done With Murderer John

Twice has the above question came to
issue before a jury oftwelvc citizens OF
the county Of Custer. Twice have they
decided without hesitation that he
should expiate his crime in the manner
prescribed by law, and only short time
ago was their decision affirmed by the
supreme court OF the state of South Da-

and signified his intention of recon-
mending to Governor Mellette the COM

ment. And so the matter now rests.
