Win a Wager Of 81, 500.

A young, healthy looking specimen

$1,000 that he would visit Maine, New
Orleans. San Francisco and the State
of Washington, within twelve months,
and journey the entire distance on
foot. He started from Cincinnati De
cemher 18th and has letters in his

leuas, whence he Will visit Texas and
California, and continue along the Pa

quietly married about nine months
ago to a Grafton. w. Va, girl, but this
fact was unknown to the man who
made the wager. In coming from the
East toward Wheeling. he stopped at.
Grafton and secured his wife, and he
states that she Will accompany him on

reference to the construction ofa bridge

the public highway, and are willing to
make concessions with view OF bene-
fitting the public. The county people
say a bridge 16 feet wide is not sufficient.

Board of Managers.
The managers of the Female Orphan
age, of Annapolis, desire to express
through the EVENING CAPITAL, their
grateful appreciation of the generous
patronage of many friends who attend
ed the afternoon tea given for the bene-
fit of this charity, also for many dona-
tions from friends unable to he present.
The success of the tea given encourages
the hope of increased interest and zeal
in this good work the ensuing year.
Our reporter was present at the ten
yesterday and was delighted TO see the
interest taken by the people of Annapo-
lis in this worthy cause. The Orphan
age has been founded since March, 1897,
and is now entering upon the 6Sth year
of its existence. The MAJ ayers deserve
much praise for having run the Orphan
age so long and successfully without an
endowment. 1t is undenominatlonal
and all churches take interest in it. The
present board represents the Episcopal,
Methodist and Presbyterian denomina-
tions. The Orphanageis is beautifully sit
uated on Market and Shipwright streets,
near Spa creek, and in charge of Miss
Benson. There are at present three or
phans in the institution, and more than
two hundred children have been cared
for. The board Of managers are Miss
Elizabeth NJ. Franklin, first directress:
Mrs. j. Shaaf Stockett, second directress;
Mrs. w. L. Ridout, secretary; Mr. Eu-
gene Worthington, treasurer: Mrs. j.

Your PHYSICAL Condition

Needs attention at this time. If you
are tired, weak and nearvous, it is clear
that your blood is impure, and without
doubt there has been too much over
work or strain on brain and body. The
course of treatment for such a condition
is plain and simple. The blood must
first be purified so tf1at the nervous sys-
tenn, and in fact all the organs will he
fed upon pure blood. Intelligent people
without number have testified that the
best blood purifier, nerve tonic and
strength imparting medicine Is Hood 8
Sarsaparilla. Nervousness, loss of sleep
and general debility all vanish when
Hoods Sarsaparilla is persistently taken
in word, health and happiness follow
after taking Hood 5 Sarsaparllla.
