PECK'S CLEVER DEFENSE.
He Disproved Charges That He Was
Drunk on His Beat.

The police of the Eighth precinct are
manifesting much interest in the outcome Of
the trial of Policeman Charles T. Peck, who
was charged withdrunkeunessan and neglectof
duty by Sergt. Jones.
Several nights ago, so the story goes, the
sergeant found Peck on duty in, as he be-
lieved, an Intoxicated condition. Jones
stripped Peck of his badge and club and
took them to station No. 8, after suspend
ing the patrolmau u from duty.
Peck, it is said, proceeded at once to the
house of physician and procured from him
a written statement that at the hour lad
date in question he was sober. He called
also upon about ten citizens for the same
purpose.
When the case came before the trial board
Peck, to the surprise of Sergt Jones, had
eleven witnesses who testified that on
the night of his suspension he was as sober
as judge. The friends of the patroInan
claim that the decision Of the trial board
will be Favorable to him.

DECEIVED BY A MoToRMAN.
Landlady Harry Seeks the Arrest oi
james NICK Kittrick

A warrant was sworn out in the police
court yesterday by Mrs. Sarah Harry
against James McKittriek, a former motor
man on the Chevy Chase electric road,
charging him with swindliug her out OF
5000 The warrant was given to Detective
Rhodes, and McKittrick, who is now IN
Baltimore, will probably be arrested in
few days.
Mrs. Harry stated that McKittrick boarded
at her house last fall while he was working
on the Chevy Chase road and made love to
her. He won her confidence, telling her
that he was the owner OF considerable
property in Baltimore, and finally borrowed
$500 from her ostensibly to pay some taxes
on his property. He left shortly afterwards
and vas not heard from.
Mrs. Harry after waiting quite while
for her recreant lover, finally made up her
mind TO hunt him up. So she juurneyed
to baltimore, and going to an address that
McKittrick had given her, asked of a woman
who came to the door if he lived there. She
was told that he did, and that thewoman
was Mrs. McKittrick. Mrs Harry then came
back to Washington aud swore out the
warrant.

THE VOICE OF ONE.

Living surrounded by natural conditions
no wonder john the Baptist was strong in
body and mind and capable OF .loing = great
work. Men of modern times, living in
conditions purely artificial, over ,5orked,
irregular in habits, with nerves at the high
est tension all the time, are Incapable OF
leading a great movement or of enjoying a
great happiness. AS the nerves become
weaker the reflex action OH the stomach
and yiscera begin to appear in the form or
dyspepsia and constipation. Then fol-
! lows insomnia. aud the unhappy victim OF
nervousness suffers all night as well as
all day.
Low FEES.
Although DR.. Walkers practice is large
and extensive aud steadily increasing and
his time is in constant demand, he has
always firmly adhered to his system OF
small fees. He never makes charge of
any kind for consultation, examination or
advice. This places the wonderful ben
eft of his great skill within the reach OF
all. In addition TO the large number of
callers he sees daily, he yet finds time TO
answer personally the many letters he
constantly receives from out-of-town suf-
ferers who seek his aid or advice. DIR.
Walker makes it an ironclad rule TO only
accept for treatment those cases he KNOWS
he can cure. Others are candidly told their
condition and sent away.

was simply uproariously funny as Sir Pat

The humor of the play is quite too evan

one must see it for ones self. That is
equally true of the roaring farce which is
the dessert for the drama. In this latter
performance Mr.. Able and Mr.. Shirley

in "Rigoletto." The tunefui operas, by the
way. have attracted the largest assem-
blages there this season. "Rigoletto" is
well known for it's melodies. Everybody
more or less whistles or huns some OF
the airs.

carried off by Campanari and Madame Van
