ANAC0STIA NEWS.

There is no doubt now that Mr. Dana
Davenport died in Scotland. The anxiety
OF the family has been much leSsened since
the receipt OF the news from Glasgow
and they have accepted the information
as conclusive evidence. The clothes are
expected to arrive within a few days. 1t
is not very likely that any member OF the
family OF Rev. W. G. Davenport will go
to Scotland, and there will be little dis
play in the way OF memorial service
The deceased had expressed several times
to his friends the wish that no display be
made at his grave, and that the money
which might thus be expended should be
used in gospel work He was much in
terested in the work of Mrs. Davenport
who is the promoter of the Children's
Home at Colonial Beach, where poor chill
dren are now beiH g given summer outing,
and ii was his intention to return tn
Washington and conduct the ministerial
part OF the home work. As an outgrowth
OF the summer home it has been suggested
that an orphanage be established in Wash
ington, and the success of the affair down
the river has led its friends to propose the
latter idea If this is done there Is no doubt
whatever but that it will be Davenport
Memorial.

There is considerable complaint by resi-
dents of Bridge street about the electric
bells of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
at the Apacostia end OF the bridge. The
watchman, it is alleged, goes home at
night and sets the bells ringing so that
they continue all night. They were put
there to be sounded only upon the approach
of the trains, and the citizens claim it is
a great annoyance to have to put up with
their noise all night and part of the day.
Mr.. Frederick and Mr.. Rich have both CON-
planned to the Commissioners about the
matter and expect action within a short
time. Meanwhile other measures are talked
of. An open threat was made Saturday

the bells will be cut down and The resi-
dents stand the consequences.

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the or
gans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and II the blood is thin, i'm
pure or insufficient, they are in state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
to the brain, the king of the body,
through the nervous system. and the
result of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable expla-
nation Of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then. Is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
BY taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves. tissues and organs will have
the hcaIthful nourishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
