John Dorlson aWOke the next morning
betfmes. with an uneasy sense Of having
passed through a nightmare. IL was
some moments before ne could recall the
events of the night previous. When ne
did. he leaped quickly from his bed Tor
bv them was also recalled resolution 10
seek Mr.. Nettleman as early as possible,
10 inform him of the assumed name ne
had given the police the night previous,
and 20 beg him to assist him In presery-
ing bis iucOgnitO.
Therefore he hastily dressed, the while
he cursed the impulse that had induced
him 10 return 20 the city Of mis- birth,
where everything served TO remind him
of his uudeseryed disgrace. AbSentIy
thrUst.ng his hands into mis- pockets he
came upon the portrait and ring he HAD
obtained the night previous.
IL was with a shock Of surprise that
be drew them out, for no had forgotten
them.
Taking them TO the window he gave
them a careful examination.
There could be no mistake.
The portrait was that Of his father,
and the ring was too familiar for him 10
mako an error concerning it. But how
came they in the room where he had
found them? Who was the young woman
in whose possession they apparently were

Cathcart made his way hastily to Pine
street, where he entered the Office OF a
real estate agent, one who had charge
of the Blocker street property. The
agent was willing TO tell all he knew,
but it was not much. About two weeks
previously an elderly woman had called
upon him to rent the floor where the
murder had taken place. She had said
that the necessity Of earning an income
had only recently made itself felt, and
she wanted to open costumer's bust
ness, with which, in her younger days,
she had been familiar; that while she
could, II it were required, present ref
erences,, still, as she had for twenty
five years been regarded as independent
in circumstances, she did not care 10
call upon them and would therefore pay
the rent quarterly in advance; and this
she thought was all the more necessary,
as she had determined TO conduct her
business under the name of Madame
Delamour; as matter Of fact her name
was Farish-Mrs. Emma Farish-and
her address was number - East Six

A little more intelligence perhaps was

had evidently been doing wrong and
had caused some one 10 pay ont money

scraps of paper the more be became con-

He did not notice that as no set foot

that he entered the same stage he did,
nor that on reaching Wall street this in
divividual followed close after him and

in the events through which he had just
passed TO give heed to matters about
him.
AS it was, the slight, understood in
dIviduGl followed him directly 10 the
door Of the building in which were Mr..
Nettleman'S Offices, even ascending the
stairs to the second floor, where they
were situated.
The old gentleman was at his desk, in
tently reading the morning paper. As
DOrisOn entered he looked Up, and cried
out with animation:
"Ah, Is thar you? Do you know that
a murder was committed last night in
the very house where we met?"

beside the desk. Il was still there when
IL was discovered. Indeed, may claim

''Oh," said the old gentleman, highly
interested. "Were you the one who first

Not that, but l was the one who

IMPORTANT DECISION
Given In the United States Court Affecting
Street Franchises.

Street Franchises.
CLEVELAND, O., November 13.-An
important decision affecting the author
ity of cities 10 control and regulate
corporations enjoying street franchises,
was rendered by Judge Jackson in the
United States Court to-day.
Some time since the City Council
passed an ordinance reducing the price
of gas from 81 TO sixty cents thousand.
The gas company went into the United
States Court and asked for relief in
equity, claiming that the proposed re-
duction meant virtual confiscation OF
their property. which was contrary TO
the clause Of the Federal Constitution
preventing the taking Of property with
out due process OF law.
The city demurred, on the ground
that the Federal Court had no jurisdc-
ton. Judge Jackson to-dsy oyer-ruled
the demurrer and granted an Injunction
against the city.
He held that the city had no right to
fix the price OF an article of which II
was a consumer: that the action OF the
Council would impair the validity of a
contract made with the Gas Company,
aud that the city had DO right TO do.

Catarrh. Not Local, Bus oonstItutionaL

DR.. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston phys
ician, in a magazine article says: "a rad
ical error underlies nearly all medical
treatment of catarrh. II is not disease Of
the mans nose; it is disease OF the man,
showing itself in the ncse-a Local exhibi-
tion OF Constitutional trouble" Therefore,
he argues, the use OF snuff and other local
applications is wrong. and while they seem
TO give temporary relief, they really do
more harm than good Other Leading au-
thorities agree with DR.. Lewis. Hence,
the only proper method of cure for catarrh
is BY taking constitutional remedy Ike
Hoods Sarsapsrilla, which, reaching every
part of the body through the blood, does
eliminate ell impurities and makes the
whole man healthier. II removes the cause
of the trouble and restores the diseased
membrane 70 proper condition. That this
is the practical result is proven by thou
sands OF people who have been cured OF ca
tarrh by taking Hoods Sarsaparills.

Annapolis News.

Ed. Register-A week ago yesterday little
Tommy Keathley and another child or two
went into David Johnson's park to look at
some new work that was in progress on the
fish pond. While there, one of the deer that
had heretofore been quite docile became en-
ragged and attacked Tommy in very savage
manner. The boys mother, who lives close
to the park, Oh hearing the boys screams,
went to his rescue in time to save him from
being seriously hurt.
DIR. May is home once more. He express
ed himself as being well pleased with his
trip east, and reports good crops all along
the line. All who have followed the CORES
pondence of Miss Hattie May will be pleased
to learn that she is once more on American
soil, and will soon return to Annapolis.
A little grandchild of Uncle Dick ONO
hundro was inferred in Annapolis cemetery

Grand Master Jewell of the Odd Fellows
instituted a lodge here last evening. Nine
teen new members were initiated into the
mysteries of Odd Fellowship. The Lodge
starts out on good, substantial footing,
and we hope it may be eminently successful.
The lecture at the church was well attended.
The Bismarck lodge was here in strong
force; also quite a number from ironton.
Altogether they appeared to be very happy
throng. Such visitors are always welcome,
and we hope they may soon come again.
Grand Master Jewell is very pleasant
speaker, and held the attention of his audi
ence throughout the entire lecture. He
held his subject we'll in hand, and made
some fine illustrations. Long may he live to
carry on the good work to which he seems
to be so well adapted
As the sun sank in the western horison,
little life took its flight this evening. Mr..
and Mrs HOusekeeper mourn the loss of a
child. MCRPHh.

Died, at Chattanooga, Tennessee, of mani
ton, little HELEN MARIA ,oDly child of w. G.
and Clara K. Craine, aged l year, II months
and 16 days.
We buried her in the Annapolis cemetery
Friday morning, September 18th, in the
presence of weeping parents and bereaved
relatives and many friends. With sad hearts
the parents left the home of the dead to re-
turn to their home in Tennessee. May God
help them to bear this sad afflction, and that
they may be prepared to meet that sweet
little child who is now watching and waiting
for them, is the sincere prayer of the writer
Just at the time when onr hearts were de-
lighted with the prospects of her usefulness
they were made sad by death. She was a
lovely child and was loved and caressed by
every one.
Little Helen was the pride of many hearts,
The joy of many lives,
A tender little bud wa. she
Amid the larger flowers.
But her life Is done,
And with folden wings
She now her little sonnet sings
Pm safe at home.
