Dying Of Consumption.
WHOSE FAULT Is IT, JUDGE YEP

Scores Of people IN this city are dying of
Consumption who might be cured by DR..
Shade, 1882 14th ST., as were Drs. Phillips and
Patterson, 50 B st. ne; Mr.. Brown, 140S Cor
coran st; Mrs. Welborne, 1908 Sheridan ave.,
Mt. Pleasant; Mr.. johnson, W. U. Telegraph
Office, 18th st.; Mrs. Bender, 1882 9th st. nw.,
and many others, who declare that Dr. Shade
cured them OF Consumption after their family
physicians gave them up to die. But it seems
that some people would rather abide by their
preiudices and die under a so-called regular
doctor than TO be cured by so-called irregu-
lar physician: $50 mote 1t be-" Office hours,

FOREIGN IN BRIEF.

CAPTAIN ADOLF FREITsCH, the Finnish
sailor who left New York, August ., in a
schooner-rigged skff, arrived at Queens
town last week. His boat had lost her rud-
der and was otherwise damaged.
IT is said that the car of Russia is Sc
riously i'll with bright's disease and with a
pulmonary affection which has become in
durable since his attack of influenza last
spring Well-informed persons believe this
report is exact, because news of his illness,
telegraphed from Russia, never reaches its
destination. The second son of the czar,
the Grand Duke George, who has been i'll
in the Caucasus for some time past is about
to return to his family. This fact is also
considered as d serious indication that some
thing is wrong with the czar.
SPEcULAToRs of France and Holland have
joined hands in an attempt to corner the
tin market. They are said to already hold
about 1000 tons of tin, but the actual guam
tity is said to be nearer 1900 tons. Low
prices and the prospect of arevival in trade,
with large expansion in consumption, are
supposed to have inspired the combine.
Stocks in the United States are under ZOO
tons, com pared with 1000 tons in 1893 The
purchases of the combination have already
caused rise in the price of &c ton, and
its members would gain G120, 900 if they
could find buyers for their stocks. They
have hoped that America would be obliged
to have recourse to the European markets,
but they are likely to be disappointed, az
America could easily supply its require
ments direct from Chinese merchants of the
East Indies.
