PKrrnssuRa, Va. April l7.--Whether or
not the Mayor under the late decision OK
the Court Of Appeals can try and nnaiiy
dispose of O misdemeanor case, involving
the carrying of concealed weapons, VIII De
decided by the Hastings Court at It's term
this week on an appeal taken FROM the May
or,s decision in recent case. The Mayor
has been of the opinion that these speciai
cases were not covered by the decision OF
the Supreme Court, and has generally I'M
posed the penalty under the statu.Ss.
The matter will be fully argued IN tn n
Hastings Court aud the decision there VIII
be awaited with interest.
TIE couRsE OF TRUE LOVE NOT SMOOTH.
Invitations have been widely issued to
the marriage of Mr.. y. j. Maher, popu"
lar young employee of the Atlantic COAST.
Line railroad. and Miss Mamie l.. FINN.
charming young lady or TINS Guy, az
nounced to take place at OF. 1osepn
Catholic church at $50 o'clock tomorrow,
and all necessary preparations. with one
exception. had been made for the happy
event. When Mr.. Maher went 70 the
Clerks office to-day to procure ms
marriaee-llcense and answered the
usual questions asked by the CierK
he was rather startled by the IN
formation impaired that unless the
lady in question was of legal age her
parents or guardian would have to glye
their consent before license could be
granted. As both the parents OF the lazy
are dead. and as she has no guardian. tne
requirements of the law could not De
complied with, and consequently. 10
license could be issued and no marriage
take place here. The situation was rather
an embarrassing one to the popular young
couple. and disappointing too-as well. as
to a large circle OF friends who enjoyed
pleasant anticipations of witnessing the
marriage.

ARE YOUGOING AWAY2.

Whether You Are or Not You Need tn Know
just What to DO, Both at Home and While
Away.
Nearly everybody Is planning to do more or less
travelling at this season. Many people who can af-
ford 1t go to Europe and spend great deal of time
abroad. Today you meet a man in Boston, and
next week you encounter him in San Francisco.
Those who have not the time or means to take
these extended trips go to some summer resort, or
take little trip occasionally. This is right and
proper. We need change, but all this running
about causes fresh risks to health and life although
the travelling may be taken for health and pleas
ure. Exposure, change of climate and habits,
change of water and diet, loss of sleep and all
these things make people sick at very inconven
times and In unexpected places. People under
such circumstances are often seized with sickness
where suitable medical help or remedies are not at
hand. Old complaints are awakened which fire.
quently take fresh hold and often result in seri-
GUS sickness or death. At such times illness may
often be warded of by the prompt use of some
good medicinal stmulant. There Is no stimulant
equal to pure whiskey, and the purest medicinal
whiskey upon the market today is Duffy's Pure
Malt. 1t has been before the public for years. 1t
may be possible that some interested person. may
say that other whiskeys are lust as GOOD. but il
should be borne in mind that other whiskey do not
accomplish what Duffy's Pure Malt has accom-
pished In the past twenty years. 1t has saved the
lives Of thousands, and its prompt use has pre-.
vented the dangers which changes Of the season
and incidents or travel always occasion.

ole, easily obtainable, nourishing strengthening,
pslatable, always pure-Lacta,ed Food
Children fed on lactated food grow hardy and
st-ong The eficacy Of the nutritive quality Of
this perfect substitute for pure human milk has
ong been acknowledged by the medical profession
Pure mothers milk is the ideal food for infants,
but when this is out Of the question, lactated food,
which more closely than anything else resembles
healthy human milk, should be used
The majority OF deaths OF children under FIVE
years is directly traceao,e to the ignorance and
Encouragement Of mothers But 1t Is being bet
ter and better known that the dreadful
scourge, cholera infantum. and similar MINER
troubles may be prevented BY the use of lactated
food In many communities IL has reduced the
ratio Of mortality of infants under I'VE years
1t has entered the practical working pharmacop9ia
Of thousands Of physicians 1t cannot be too often
said thar IL has saved thousands of infants lives
AMI caused as many more to grow plump and act
i've.
The careful mother should not give her child any
thing the composition Of which ID not known to her
La;tated food Is not a secret preparation. 1t is
made in the most careful manner from the nour-
ish.ng elements Of wheat and barley properly COM
bined with the pure sugar Of milk. The buildings
where II Is prepared and put up are famous for
their absolute cleanliness. # never spoils.
Mothers the country over have for years been
writing grateful letters telling how their children
when fed upon lactated food have grown from
weak and puny babes TO healthy, happy, hearty
Youngsters, and this experience Of other mothers
together with the best medical skill Is at the SER
vice of every mother In the land
Mr. A D. Wentworth, Niagara Falls, picture Of
whose baby Is given above, writes: "Our boy was
born In March and his mother died one week after
his birth He was so feeble that we did not think
We could raise HIM, but friend recommended lac
lated food to after we had tried almost every
thing else, and since then he has thrived like a
you1g rabbit and has never had q sick day. He
weighs twenty pounds and is in perfect health"
Mrs. J. +. whltson, from away out in Michigan,
writes: ave owe the life Of our baby girl to lac
tatet food and we treasure her more than we can
express People that call on me say: What a nice,
fat babyi How wish mine was as far and healthy
tel them TO feed their baby lactated food and it
viii be just as fat. I will recommend the lactated
food TO every mother meet. We have used it ever
since you sent US the sample last spring and think
there Ia no other like II. No words of mine can
fully describe the merits of iactatsd food"

The Rock Creek Nuisance.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
We wish to call the attention Of the "powers
that be" through your valuable paper to the
filthy condition Of Rock creek between the ave-
nue. and II street bridges, and to ask their i'm
mediate action in the matter. Our health, the
health Of the men in our shops and the entire
neighborhood is menaced by the disease-breed-
ing, filthy pool which it now is and has been all
summer. We believe the canal company prom
ised Senator Mcmillan they would flush the
creek out every night, but we know this has not
been done for weeks. There il an old barrel
which we have watched for over two weeks
floating about, and today dead dog and dead
cat are floating about also, besides the top Of
the water being almost covered with filth from
the sewers, which has no way of getting out.
II those in authority could see the state the
place is IN and have the privilege Of inhaling
the odors day after day, We feel sure that steps
would be taken to remedy this great evil, which
Is q shame to our beautiful city.

that garbage had remained in the rear of my
premises for three weeks or for two weeks or
for one week If the garbage belonged to my
house 1 would go out into my back yard. dig a
deep hole and bury the garbage. II the gar
bage were my neighbours and he would not bury
it would borrow his garbage bucket and tip
the contents into that big hole. 1t is a sin to
have garbage remain on ones premises three
weeks. Several years ago wrote to your col
umns the solution Of this whole matter which
was to burn it. 1t is the work Of moment to
raise the lid Of the range and put the scrapings
Of the plates into the fire. Vegetable parinRs
melon rinds and all bits can be disposed Of in
the same way, and there is no trouble with
garbage men, foul odors and disagreeable SMELL
ing buckets to be cleaned. I know. for have
followed this plan over twenty years.
