DR.. SHADES DISCOVERY
For Consumption Investigation Be-
coming More Interesting
On Account of the Remarkable Cures Re-
vealed-A Lady from Brook
lyn Cured.

The TIMES reporter finds as he pursues the
laborious and responsible task Of developing
and prosecuting such a work of philanthropy
and blessing to suffering humanity, that the
most remarkable cures resulting from DIR.
Shades mineral treatment for consumption
are yet to come.
Miss NJ. E. Little, OF Brooklyn. n. Y. is a
lady OF more than ordinary refinement and
intellect. having been blessed with delight
ful and most desirable mansion home in the
suburbs of the city of Brooklyn, the sur
roundings OF which catered to her comforts
and happiness, but also furnished the pic
turesque surroundings which gradually de-
veloped her talent for painting, in which Miss
Little has become quite efficient, displaying
extraordinary taste and accomplishment in
the works OF art.
Miss Little SAID furthermore, on being in
tervieWed. that she had been afflicted with
lung trouble for ten years, until she was per-
suaded to consult DR.. Shade. 1882 Fourteenth

Miss Little, 333 Twenty-second street, con-
tinued as follows: 81 sought relief at the
hands and skill of four BROOKLYN and
Washington physicians. who all of one
accord declared my case incurable; that my

sort, and as a drowning man grasps at q

to consult DR.. Shade, not, however. until
after careful investigation, through which l
was surprised by some remarkable cures, a
result OF DR.. Shades discovery for consump-
tion. MIR. w. Sanford Browns recovery and
several other cures resulting from Dr. Shades
treatment finally convinced me Of my duty.
l am very slow to become infatuated with
new theories and discoveries, as well as slow
to consult new physicians. But DR.. Shade
was so highly recommended as being very
successful and scientific physician that I
placed my case in his hands for treatment
little over one year ago. I was under the
doctors professional care for almost eleven
months. What had seemed TO be an incur
able disease for ten years began yielding to
treatment in few months, and now have
gained in weight very much and am the re-
cipient OF congratulations on ali hands from
my friends for looking so well and escaping a
premature grave. My lungs are healed and
L most heartily recommend all lung trouble
cases or consumptives to consult DR.. Shade
before giving up. After what has been done for
me, in addition TO the many others I have
learned have been cured by the mineral treat
ment for consumption. do not hesitate 70

Washington have banded themselves together
in far-reaching charity organization to be
known as the Golden Circle In purpose it
will be very similar to theAssociated Charities.
C. W. Martin, a lawyer, president of the
executive board, speaking of it to a TIMES
reporter, said:
The circle will be the colored associated
charities, although its bounty will not be
confined to any particular creed, race, or
nationality
While entering actively upon the relief
work of the winter, it has been decided to cre-
ate an emergency fund, and to that end a
charity reception and entertainment has been
decided upon to take place in Coa@ention
Hall, on Wednesday evening, January2, 1895.
In the meantime the work of organizing the
main body of the circle Will be carried sys-
tematically and energetically forward
The membership will be derived from the
numerous colored churches of all denomina-
tions and societies in the District, and many
ministers are already eXerting their influence
in behalf of the organization which has as its
purpose the amelioration of the condition of
the colored people here and the speedy relief

by Commissioner Wright.
Representatives McGann, chairman of the
Labor Committee, Springer and Erdman.
who are interested in the passage of the la
Dor arbitration bill, were in consultation for
several hours yesterday with Labor Commits
sioner Wright, considering the advisability of
Incorporating in the bill certain recommends

Notes from the Cnnitn1


The Notifications appropriation bill was re-
ported yesterday. 1t apprOpriates 81, 1,S7s.O57.
The estimates called for S7,357, ,7OS.
The Senate yesterday passed bill appro-
priating 81, ,4S4 to the Washington and Lee
University for damages sustained during the
war
The report that the President contemplates
calling an extra session on the currency ques-
ton if no action is taken by this Congress is
not credited at the Capitol.
The Dockery commission has completed its
investigation into the workings of the General
Land Office, but not yet decided upon its
recommendations.
Francis H. Woods was yesterday nominated
to be postmaster at Albany, n. Y. He was the
Presidents personal selection. Senator Hill
was strenuouslY opposed to his appointment
Gen. Tracy, the Albany Congressman, ex-
pressed his acquiescence in the President s
selection. but 1t is said that Mr. Cleveland
was unwilling to make the appointment until
Mr.. Hill should also signify his acquiescence.
This, it is said by Gen. Tracy, Mr. Hill has
done since the election.
An effort is to be made shortly to pass the
pending bill for the establishment of ma
tional home for infirm and aged eolored per-
sons in Washington. Senator Hoar attempted
to call up the bill yesterday, but failed to get
action. The bill has already passed the
House, and seems likely to get favorable
action in the Senate.
Senator Hunton intends to make a fight
next week for the passage of a national
university bill introduced last session by
Senator Kyle. He has given notice that he
will call it up next week and ask its passage.
The bill provides for the establishment of a
university to be supported by one-third OF the
proceeds of public lands for ten years from
the passage of the act. The bill proposes to
locate the university on the old Naval Obser-
vatory site.
The Republican National Committee has
issued letter to those proposing to make
contest for seats in the next House, recon-
mending that no cases be pressed unless sub
stantlated by such incontrovertible facts as
to make them beyond question. The CON-
mittee evidently thinks the Republican
majority in the next House dangerously
large now.

CUT HIS THROAT WITH A RAZOR.
Suicide OF Tommy Ash in a Saloon on d
Street After a Life of Misery and a
Spree Lasting for Several Days.

Tommy" Ash has been a lounger about
James Rays little saloon, at No. 1908 D street.
In the Division" for couple of years.
Sometimes he did odd chores, and occasion
ally worked in Crowley's oyster saloon on
the Avenue. More often he simply loafed
about the neighborhood. Until yesterday
Ash had not been seen for several days. Then
he appeared and seemed to be the worse for
continued dissipation.
''Hullo. Bill ~ he said TO RAYS bartender
"How's things? I'm goin' around back of
ther bar ter get an envelope
Ash had often tended bar, and, therefore,
no objection was offered. As Rays saloon is
in district often frequented by men and
women who are constantly at war with the
law, it is necessary to keep a couple OF revol-
vers on hand to use if needed. Ash got one
of these pistols and held il to his head. He
pulled the trigger and the hammer snapped,
but there was no explosion. The weapon
was not loaded. Ash went through the same
motions with the other revolver.
Here, what are yer doin', )" cried Bill the
bartender, sEatching the pistols away IF
them guns was loaded, you'd been killed. -
We'll, don't care, - responded Ash, I'm
goin' to kill myself anyway"
He went away and around to the back Of
the building with a deadly purpose in his
heart Tommy knew where the owner Of
the saloon kept his raZor-in the front bed
room on the second floor. He climbed in the
rear way and broke open a window. The
noise was heard downstairs, and the men
tried to get upstairs. but the ladder by which
access to the second floor is obtained was
hoisted up, and they were not able 10 get
there in time.
A policeman was sentfor TO keep Ash from
committing suicide, but before he arrived
Ash had found the razor and drawn it across
his throat. He was found lying on the floor,
gasping and choking while river OF blood
flowed from the ghastly wound. Ash soon
died, and thus he lay for hours soaking in
his own blood, and his CLASSY eyes upturned,
until the coroner arrived.

BLAZING LAMPS HIS WEAPONS
While Full of Whisky, John Hill Runs
Amuck in the Division


Amuck in the Division"
John Hill, colored laborer, ran amuck in
an immoral house, No. 1929 G street, at an
early hour yesterday morning. He was full
of the worst sort of whisky, and claimed that
one ofthe dusky inmates of the place had
robbed him of 70 cents.
John threw a burning lamp at Ida Foskeys
head, and going up stairs he hurled another
blazing lamp at Josephine Norris and set fire
to the premises. While the badly frightened
women were screaming murder, the infuri-
ated fellow made vicious assault on an un-
known colored man, who dashed wildyup G
street with Hill in pursuit.
The latter was arrested by Policemen Kill
martin and Flather, who also subdued the
flames in the house. In the police courtIyes-
terday Judge Miller sentenced Hill to three
months in Jail in two cases of assault In
doing this his honor remarked that "such
dens of inquity as that in which the trouble
occurred should be wiped off the face of the
earth''
