But let the health nag little, let the stomach be-
come deranged, let the nervous system get out Of
order,and chill is easily TAKEN II goes to the weak
spot and a cold is the result.
Now, Of all causes of cold probably fatigue or
WEAKNESS Is the most general. A tired man who
comes home at night from long days work or q
weary woman whose household duties are wearing
and tearing are the common victims Of a cold. 1t

Is Ia Seconds.

The Detroit Runs Over a Mile in Minutes
Is Ia Seconds.
The cruiser Detroit showed its greatest speed
yesterday near Newport over the govern
ment's mile course, run in minutes 1917
seconds. This equals a run of 1s 7-1OO miles
per hour. This showing far ecipses any war
vessel in the world Of the same displacement
in speed.
The naval officers who are familiar with the
Detroit do not hesitate to say the vessel is cap
able Of making at least 10 knots in sea in good
weather. The maximum run of the cruiser was
not made under the most favorable circum-
stances, and for this reason all concerned have
great hopes that the new vessel will astonish
the country when the final run is made on Long
Island sound. which will take place tomorrow,
If all conditions are favorable.
The trials which occurred yesterday over the
measured mile were as follows:
At knots she made the mile in 8 minutes
81 seconds, mean revolutions during the mile
run 80 S-12; at 10 knots, time minutes II
seconds, making 50.7 revolutions; at IL knots

run she made 50 8-12 revolutions.

THE RUSSIAN TREATY.

The Wording OF the New Document and the
Old One Regarding Political onenses.
What is said to be the text Of the extraiition
treaty which was signed by Secretary Bayard
and Mr.. de Strive. the Russian minister in 1887,
principally because of the strong opposition
raised to article 5. defining political Of
fsnses, has been published. spps-
rentiy with a view Of ehciting express
sions Of public opinion. The same alleged text
was published in some OF the New York papers
six years ago. and il is believed to be accurate.
Article 10 the article which republican Sem
ators. il is said, now desire should be made
public in parallel columns with the correspond
ing article OF the amended treaty which the
Senate ratified at its last session.
The article in question submitted in 1857
was as follows:
Article 5. II it be made to appear that extra
dition is sought with a view TO try or punish the
person demanded for an offense of = political
character surrender shall not take place. nor
shall any person sure ndered be .ried or punished
Tor any political offense committed previously
70 his extradition, nor for any offense other
than that for which the extradition was
granted. nor shall the surrender of
any person be demanded for an
on ense committed prior to the date a,
winch this Convention shall take effect The
|
or negligent killing Of the sovereign or chief
magistrate OF the state or Of any member OF
LIS family, rs well as an attempt 20 commit or
participate in the kaid crimes. shall not be
considered an offense of q political character.
Ii Is pointed out that the notifications of
article as adopted in the treaty which now
awaits the exchange Of notifications strengthen
Its declarations as to political offenses agains,
the sovereign or chief magistrate but make no
concessions in favor of Russia which are no,
reciprecated in favor Of the United States
The actual text Of this part Of the treaty as 4,
now stands is as follows:
AN attempt upon the life Of the head Of
either government. or against that of any mem.
Der OF his family, when su0b attempt comprises
the act either Of murder or assassination. or O,
poisoning, shall not be considered a polite.
ofense or an act connected with such offense. =
Article of the treaty Of 1887 cont ins thi,
definition OF the crime of forgery:
The crime OF forgery, By which is under
stood the utterance of forged papers. and also
the counterfeiting Of public, sovereign or gov
ernmental acts"
1t is understood this definition is retained in
tine amended treaty ratified by the Senate. Op
| ponents OF the treaty contend that under thi
| definition persons would be extraditable fo
using false passports or passports issued in al
| assumed name, which is said to be a very com
mon practice on the part of persons who be-
| leve their true names would excite suspicion
of the Russian authorities.

Social Clubs Must Have Liquor Licenses.
The Louisiana supreme court yesterday de-
cided the suit of the state collector against the
Boston and Pickwick clubs Of New Orleans to
compel them to take out a regular bar room
license in favor Of the collector Heretofore
the clubs have been running bar rooms and
have failed to pay license, on the ground that
they bought the liquor and sold it to members
at cost. The license fee is $1,000 O year.
Nearly all New Orleans clubs run private bars,
and this decision means that they must either
discontinue the practice or pay the state at
least 800 600 q year.

Since then they have been radical. The inven-
ton of armor plate that would seem to be able
to resist the force of any and all projectiles

UNF ANILIAR SCENES IN THE ROADS.
The present gathering of great men-of-war
has about it nothing of the fierce and war
like. 1t is a most peaceful collection Of war
like vessels. 1t has for one thing altered the
entire appearance of this most fascinating
place. Old-timers who come down to the
Hygeia look at each other in wonder and amaze
and ask what has become of the army. Usually
it is the boys in blue with straps on their
shoulders and stripes down the sides OF their
pantsloons that predominant here. The officers
stationed at the fort or the younger ones who
are here taking courses at the schools Of in
structlon have everything their own way and it
is the civilian who has to take the back seat and
retire into obscurity. Now everything is
changed. The man in simple black evening
dress is for the time being almos; as good as
the West Point graduate. The reason Of this
is a simple one. Neither one is ''in it, for q
moment as compared with the boys who come
ashore on shore leave from the ships that lie
in the roads. 1t is the day of the navy and it is
not day of small things. either. The men
who look after the honor of Uncle Sam on the
seas make a most creditable appearance at all
times, but now when they have everything their
own way they are carrying all before them by
mere force of numbers.

VICIOUS ASSAULT.
A Young Man Bites Off a Piece o
Jake Gebert's Ear.

A Young Man Bites or Piece OF
jake Gebert's Ear.
Minet C. Young had a choice morsel
for his dinner yesterday afternoon. 1t
consisted of the lobe of Jacob Geberts
left ear, and did not lie well on his stom-
ach, apparently, for it is said that when
he was carried away in the patrol-wagon
he left the tidblt behind him, but too late
to be of any service to Jake.
| Gebert is the well-known proprietor OF
the Union Brewery at Twentieth and O
streets, where he also keeps saloon,
and Young is youth who lives in that
vicinity. Neighbors of Young say that
he has a sort of mania for poisoning cats
| and dogs, but that otherwise he is all
right.
The story is that yesterday afternoon
he went 10 Gebert's place and accused the
latter of having charged him with poison
ing his cat; that some words followed,
ana finally Young seized Gebert by the
collar of his coat, pulled his head forward
and took bite off his ear. Gebert also
received blow that blackened one OF his
eyes.
Several men were present, and as
quickly as possible they seized the en-
ragged youth and tore him away from
Gebert.
The police were notified by telephone
and Officers Lowell and Green and
Special Goods were soon on hand with
the patrol wagon and took Young to the
| City Jail, where a charge of mayhem is
lodged against him.
He was visited i'll the evening by his
mother. an estimable lady, who is deeply
panied over the affair. Gebert'S injury is
not only painful one, but he will be
fortunate if he escapes blood-poisoning.

Many Citizens Who are Neglecting an
Important Duty.
County Clerk Hamilton desires that at
tention be called to the fact that many
persons who have changed their precinct
residences since the last great register was
made up have neglected to call at the
Clerks Office and have their registrations
corrected.
This is not only an important matter to
the public at large, but to citizens indi-
vidually. If a person changes his resi-
dence from one precinct to another and
neglects to call and have his registration
corrected he is liable to lose his vote at the
coming city election, unless the Trustees
order supplemental lists published.
There are probably several hundred
voters who do not now reside in the same
precincts they did when they registered,
and unless supplemental lists be printed.
to include new registrations and thoselun-
amended, there are hundreds of citizens
who will not have voice in the next
election.

Something That the Better Class of Sa-
Ioon-Keepers Should Heed.
Now that certain class of saloon-keep-
ers are losing their licenses, it would be
well for all engaged in that business to
be careful and not violate the laws. There
is one law that is violated daily, and
somebody is liable to be brought up with
round turn in consequence. 1t is that
of supplying liquor 10 persons who are
known TO be habltual drunkards.
Liquor is dispensed TO people of this
class daily, and friends and relatives OF
some are beginning to move in the mat
ter. Saloonkeepers know who are ha-
bitual drunkards, and many proprietors
never allow that class OF persons to be
served in their establishments; but there
are some who are less scrupulous, and
who sell liquor TO anyone that pays for it.
Those who do so are taking chances Of
being arrested, for-as stated above-the
matter is for the first time receiving at
