NERVE AND SKILL.
How Young Halsey Smith stopped a
Runaway Team.

How Young Halsey Smith stopped
Runaway Team.
Halsey, the young son of Ed f. Smith,
Secretary of the State Agricultural Soci-
ely, displayed his nerve and horseman-
ship couple of days ago in a manner
that would have done credit to an expert
enced vaquero.
Tony LovdaPs spirited buggy team ran
away from Will Hanlon's store at
Twelfth and P streets and dashed off up
P street with the empty buggy. They
turned into Sixteenth street at full speed,
going northward, and passed a group of
boys playing ball in vacant lot.
Young Smith, who was among the
number, had his saddie-horse hitched
close by, and to release the animal and
mount it was the work of but a few mo-
ments. Away he, flew after the runa-
ways, and overlook them at K street just
in time to turn them aside and prevent a
collision with a buggy in which lady
was riding.
The little fellow ran his horse alongside
the runaway team and grasped the reins.
1t was hard task to check the speed of
the runaways, but by guiding them into
the open square about the Grammar
School at J street he succeeded in bring
ing them 10 stop. Not a bit of injury
resulted to the horses or buggy, and
more fortunately still-none to the plucky
young horseman.

Warren #. Drew Sues the City to Re-
cover the sum of So, al.
Warren F. Drew, ex-Chief of Police.
yesterday filed a complaint-by his at
torneys, Johnson 81 Johnson-against the

the rate of Sl50 per month up to January,

He also claims legal interest thereon to
the amount Of $24l, together with costs of

cision of the courts that John b. Rodgers,
who succeeded Drew as Chief OF Police
and who held the Office for the time speci-
fed, was not eligible thereto.

al short-Story Gem.

The wonderful little Isle of Man-won-
derful in its scenic beauty and grandeur,
in its thriftful fertility, in its sturdy ma
tional character which has practically
maintained its independence for more
than 1000 years, ana still wonderful in
its peasant life, customs and snperstitions
has at last found the pen OF genius to
give it place in enduring fiction. So mas
terful tale is Edgar l.. Wakeman's "a
Manx Phynnodderee, which is printed
in this issue, that the reader will leave it's
tender closing sentences with regret that
1t is only short-story gem and not an
extended romance.

Revolution
In Eating

has been brought about by the
introduction of CoTToLENE, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery of this product, and the
demonstration of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
Indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food;
while it is we'll known that thous-
ands are obliged to abstain entire
ly from everything of that kind.
To such people, CoTToLENE is Of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. CoTToLENE
is cooking marvel. 1t eom6gnes
with the food-imparts to it
tempting color, a delicate flavor,
and an appetlzlng crispness.
No trace of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the

CoTToLENE is worthy of the
careful notice of all those who
value good food, of itself or for
its hygienic properties.

SUBURBAN NEWS
ALEXANDRIA,.

Many Alexandrians think that the censure
cast upon this city. by Prince William
meeting in regard to the Manassas and
Richmond railroad charter. is entirely with
out reason. The meeting denounced Alex
charter as "a dog in a Manager policy" 1t
Is said. however. that as the new road pro-
poses to take the hay out of the manger,
which Alexandria has already paid for.
fhere Is no dog in the matter. 1t Is a
question between a horse and a colt. Alex
andria has already expended for the con-
struction of internal Improvement lines
nearly 81 500 600. This was done to supply
hay to It's own horse; and now a young
Manassas colt comes along and wants to
eat all the hay, and starve the Alexandria
horse Very naturally the Alexandria horse
is not going to be starved without some
kicking. 1t is this kicking which excites
the censure.

The boy complained of pain in his right
side Immediately after coasting. He is
getting on nicely now.
Mr. Munro complained of soreness in the
right side early in the week and suspected
that he had appendicitis. Under ordinary
circumstances he would not have given
the matter a thought. But his symptoms
being similar to those of his son led him
to believe that he was suffering from the
same disease. Mr.. Munro got interested
in appendicitis and decided to have the
appendix removed. The patient was nut
under the influence of ether on Friday and
the operation performed. No foreign sub
stance was found in the appendix of the
patient or in that of his son. There was
only gangrenous Inflammation of the ap-
pendix. MIR. Munro recovered from the
effects of the ether and conversed with his
physicians half an hour after the opera
