Tile land Of time
deals lightly with a woman in
perfect health. But all func-
tional arrangements and dis
orders peculiar to women
leave their mark. You needn't
have them. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription comes to
your rescue as no other medl-
cine can. 1t cures them. For
periodical pains, prolapsus and
other displacements, bearing
down sensations, and all "fe-
male complaints and weak
nesses, it is a positive remedy.
1t is a powerful, restorative
tonic and nervine, imparting
strength to the whole system
in general, and to the uterine
organs and appendages in par
ticular. 1t keeps years from
your face and fgure-but adds
years to your life. It's guar
antecd to give satisfaction in
every case. If it doesn't,
your money is returned.

The secretary OF state in Michigan
recently sent out a summary of the
farm statistics of that state, for the
years 1SS9.90, which contains some facts
of interest relating to the cost and value
of farm crops. The Ohio Farmer has
arranged the statement in tabular

These figures are worthy of grave oonsid-

DOUBLY PAID OFFICERS.

Retired Army Officers to be LegisIated
Out of Civil Places.
Ihe House amendment to the Army Appro-
priation bill providing that hereafter no retired
officer of the Army shall hold civil Office
under the Government was opposed by inter-
ested parties before the Senate Committee on
Appropriations, but the opposition was inef-
fectual and the committee has decided to let IL
remain in the Army bill. There are at present
twelve OF these officers who receive double pay
pay as a retlred Army officer and salary as an
oflcer in civil employment under the Govern
ment.
Gen. Rosecrans, the Register of the Treasury,
heads the list. He receives, as a retired brig
adler @ general, $45Oo, and his salary as Register
is $4 ,0OO. The next officer on the list is Gen.
"Baldy" Smith, who receives over So. 100 as a
retired major and 81, 900 as disbursing officer in
the Corps of Engineers. Both of these gentle
men were gallant officers during the late war;
and were placed on the retired list of the Army
a lew years ago as reward for past service
Both generals are Democrats and are holding
over from the Cleveland administration
Inc remaining officers on the list are captains
and lieutenants who have been on the retired
list for years and were put there because they
were lncapacltated by receiving severe wounds
or by reason of broken health resulting from
active service
General Rosecrans has continued to hold Of
flee as Register of the Treasury despite the op-
posltlon and to the extreme regret of many as
pirants for the nice civil Office held by him.
The President has been repeatedly asked to
appoint staunch Republican to succeed "Old
Rosy" but Gen. Harrison has invariably re-
fused to do SO. This failure inspired friends of
some of the disappointed applicants to move in
Congress to make the Office vacant by legisla-
tion, and consequently the amendment was in
troduced in the House, and adopted as part
OF the Army Appropriation bill. 1t is under
stood stood that a vigorous effort will be made in the
Senate to defeat the House amendment.

ATHLETICS AT THE c. A. G.
Fhe Regular FOrtnightly Exhibition Proves

The Regular Fortnightly Exhibition Proves
Very Interesting.
The fortnightly athletic entertainment of the
Columbia Athletic Club took place last night
in the spacious gymnasium of the clubhouse
Admission to the entertainment was by card
only. The space set aside for spectators was well
filled with an appreciative gathering. AS a
whole the exhibition was superior to any of the
previous ones, especially in the line of general
athletics, as some of the feats performed would
have done credit to professionals Professor
Crossey, Bobby Elder, Dashiell, and Sewell
were the heroes of the evening, as they appeared
in almost every event The events were:
Jumping under low bar-Professor Crossey
won with clean leap of 10 feet 9 inches
Messrs. Dashiell, Barnard, Elder, Seweli,
Brickenstein, and Tibbett also competed
Under low bar and over pole-Professor
Crossley won, 5 feet 10 inches, the same parties
competing as in the other.
Club swinging-A fine piece of work by Mr.
Eugene Byrnes, which called forth loud ap-
plause.
Pyramids-Professor Crossley, Messrs. Jones.
Muldrow, Moore, Elder, Sewell, and Early. 1t
was first appearance, and a rather creditable
one.
Fencing-First bout. Professor Emmons and
Lieut.. Pierce; won by Professor Emmons.
Second bout. Lieut.. Fletcher and Mr. Nc
Gard; won after spirited encounter by Lieut..
Fletcher. Final won in mastery manner by
Professor Emmons. Professor Heintz was

Acrobatics-Professor Crossley and Bobby

somersaulting of Elder coming in for much
praise.

BASEBALL NEWS SCARCE.
Manager Scanlon Talks Enthusiastically
of the Outlook.

Manager Scanlon Talks Enthusiastically
of the Outlook.
There was dearth of information at base
ball headquarters yesterday due to the fact that
no new contracts or agreements can be made
with disengaged players until after the Goth.
Manager Trott is out on the hunt for available
material and his daily reports to the directors
are encouraging. The National Club is fortu-
nate in this respect this year, that it is backed
by syndicate of thirty business men who in
tend running the club purely as a matter of busi-
ness, and with that understanding have placed
their hard cash in the treasury of the concern.
In this way it differs from all previous organi-
zations becoming now corporate body sub
lect to the dictates of a council, where before
1t was one-man power. ''There is no news
to-day" said Mr.. Scanlon to the HERALD
representative yesterday, ''nor do L expect any
thing by Sunday morning. Everything
promises success and our people are
greatly pleased over the prospects One thing
may be set down for certainty" continued
Mr.. Scanlon, "and know it will please base

whom are well-known lawyers in active prac-

sttute an ideal board for the trial of causes and

It is now assured that the annual regatta of

would be fooihardy to increase. They are
willing to lend their cooperation in whatever
way possible, but will not bind themselves to

stances it would seem no more than right that
they should be asked to act as a sort of advisory
board, while the Columbia and Potomac Clubs
should shoulder the money responsibility. If
the total cost is only 81 200 little work on the
part of the organizations would reduce it one
half from subscriptions from our people. In

gamers by the coming here of so many outsid-
ers, they should generously put their hands in
their pockets and pay all the 81 200, leaving
the organizations to meet only the necessary
expense of entertaining visiting clubs. At the
last National regatta there were over five hun
dred oarsmen present and participating With
that many competitors there will be about ten
times as many visitors. The conferees should
