BOATING CHANGES.
Potomacs VIII Not Row Mt Newark
ON the 3Oth.


The rains of the past few days have so
swollen the river and filled 1t with floating
logs and driftwood that boating will have
to be suspended for a few days at least.
The Analostan Boat Club had crew out
Saturday. but the water was so high that
they couldn't manage their boat. Finding
that they could not make their own club
house, they tried to make for the toat
house of the Potomacs. but before getting
there their boat filled with water and upset.
The crew was relieved by crew from the
Potomac club, who saw the accident.
On account of some misunderst landing in
the contract or the whims of the boat build
ers, the Waters company will not have the
new boat which they are building for the
Potomac Boat Club ready by the end of the
month as was at first supposed. For this
reason the PotomacS have decided not to
enter the Newark regatta on Decora ton
day as was their intention. The new boat
will be completed by the LIST of June. how
ever. In time for the midsummer races.

FOUND DEAD.
A CHASTITY Discovery on n Lot Near
Thomas Circle.

Today about noon a policeman on duty
near Thomas Circle. at Massachusetts ave-
nue. and 14th street, was told by citizen
that there was the dead body of a colored
man on a vacant lot opposite the circle.
The policeman went over to the lot and
found the body In the weeds. The body
was that of a man apparently fifty years
old. He was neatly dressed. in pair of
striped trousers and black coat and vest.
The condition of his white shirt showed
that he had not been there in the rain, and
1t Is thought that he went to the lot some
time yesterday and died. An old umbrella
was found near him.
The dead wagon was sent for, and the
body was removed to the morgue.
In the pockets of the dead mans clothes
the officers found a purse containing a
nickel. piece of tobacco, penknife and
handk erchief.
Coroner Woodward was notified, and will
probably hold an inquest tomorrow.
There were no marks of violence visible,
and 1t Is thought that death resulted from
natural causes. His identity is unknown.

THE POLITICAL FUTURITY.

Considering the value Of the stakes to
be run for in the great Futurity race In
New York politics next November the
entries up to date are rather a dlsap-
pointment. The final value OF the stake
Is fifty Thousand dollars a year for four
years, together with the privilege II
bossing the United States from the White
House. after two years previous expert
ence at running the Empire State.
Such inducements ought to bring out
the very best cracks in both political
stables and insure a record-making race.
But this is far from being the case. The
first entry from the Republican stables
was the bad loser j. Sioat Fassett, and
the favorte is merely that respectable
money bags Morton. There Is no doubt
that Choate displays fine form and action,
to appear al the post.
But II the Republican stable makes a
poor showing, the Democratic stable does
worse with It's single nomination OF
Roswell =. Fewer. While Flower is a
one-tme winner he has gone or were,
much since his race with FAsse,t. His
uncertain temper and his trick of swerv-
Ing at critical moments make him a6
unsafe horse TO bet on, and he stands low
in the pools 1t would be very unfor-
tunate for the Democracy to pace any
large amount of money on this horse.
And yet what grand race 1t is, the

pointed by the President to investigate
the Pullman strike, and presided over
by Labor Commissioner Carroll ID.
Wright, might just as well shut up shop
and adjourn sine die.
OF course, this would mean leaving

make a cents worth of difference to any
human being whether 1t brings It's bust
ness to a formal ending or not. AS far
as any public acceptance Of its verdict
Is concerned Its business is flnished, ana
finished very completely.
Chairman Wright has been asked what
truth there was In the current rumor
that ne was investigating the Pullman
strike with Pullman pass In his pocket,
and promptly answered that he had
such pass. 1t is an annual pass, and
he uses 1t whenever he wants to.
Mr.. Wright Is very frank about It, He
says: II use 1t whenever l please. The
pass was given to me by Mr.. Pullman,

Women are far too economical In
the use of kind words. In bestowing
praise they are absolutely stingy If
mothers are critical and uncharitable,
what can be expected of the children?
No one is perfect. Teach your lips to
speak pleasant words daily, and to avoid
evil communications. Idle gossip should
never influence you in your treatment OF
persons. Learn Its source, learn Its truth
and then be governed by good sense in
the matter. And do not lend fine powers
Of conversation in speaking evil tidings
Of others. II you cannot speak well of
your acauaintances and friends do not
talk about them. No one escapes calumny
the greatest and purest of men and

Value of Fruits.

Fruits are better than drugs to i'm.
prove the stomach and complexion. 1t is
not fact that fruits produce acldity of
the stomach. On the contrary, they cor
rect it. Ripe apples, pears, plums and
peaches eaten raw, without sugar, are
medicine for sour stomach. The veg.
etab.e salts are converted into alkaline
carbonates which purify by counteract-
ing the acidity already in the stomach.
Diners who overeat and have fits of
indigestion and the blues next morning,
take carbonate of soda, In tablets or
liquid; ripe, juicy apple or two and no
other breakfast would cost less and do
more good.
