What Physicians Say-Some Good Advice
to All Elders of the Wheel Who May
Be In Danger without Knowing 1t.

Next to my friends l love my bicy-
cle"
She was an enthusiastic young woman
who uttered these words and she owl
IDENTITY meant them. There is so much
exhilaration and pleasure in riding 8
bicycle that it is no wonder it Is 80 pop
ular.
But like every good thing it has its
drawbacks. People who have ridden a
bicycle for any length Of time are
almost always troubled at lines with
pain in the back. II Is fact which
admits OF no dispute that tho vibration
of the wheel causes in nearly every
case, more or less kidney, liver or urin-
airy difficulties. Not that these trou bles
are serious at the beginning, but they
are liable to become SO IL they con.inuo.
There is no moro serious trouble in tn
world than kidney trouble, whether in
tnen or women, and there is nothing
more certain than that it must be
checked in time, or broken health,
shattered strength and untjmely death
are sure to follow.
Any man, woman or child can ride q
bicycle without any danger from these
troubles If the kidneys and urinary
organs are only kept regulated But,
OF course, there is the great difficulty.
Every physician knows tina. il is diff
cult to regulate these delicate organs,
and all physicians admit that there is
absolutely but one remedy for these
troubles. That remedy is Warmers Safe
Cure. This great discovery is &C
kno wledged to be the only cure for these
difficulties, because it slim ulates gently
the kidneys and ali adjacent organs and
causes them to continue in perfect
health. There need be no fear of back
ache. peculiar pains, depressed feelings,
or any of the thousand things which in
dicate kidney difficulty, where this
great Safe Cure is used continuously
and in time. So that bicycle riders
need not fear, but can ride to their
hearts content, providing only they
are careful, providing only they watch
for the approach OF the first symptoms
OF kidney difficulty, and providing only
they check them in time.

minds bent over hundred little tables in
tent on making a hundred good standings.
There We're five young ladies in the num-
Der of applicants and both they and
large pros ortion of the young men present
were very good looking. The examination
covered common English branches. proof

Heart Disease the Cause.

The coroner's jury which investigated the
killing of David Woody, alleged to have
been murdered Tuesday night in house
1852 X street northwest, yesterday after
noon returned a verdict to the effect that
death was due to heart disease, aggravated
by a fist fight or scuff1e with Augustus
johnson. The latter was exonerated and
discharged from custody.
After The Stars report of the inquest
closed several witnesses were examined,
the NEST important being Deputy Coroner
Glazebrook, who made the autopsy on the
body of the deceased. DR.. Glazebrook de-
clared that the heart of Woody was dis
eased. and that the least exertion or ex-
citement might have caused death. The
prisoner also made a statement, claiming
that he was the aggrieved party.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
The Fast Frederick Express on the
D. and o. Meets with q Mtshap.

y: ana u. meets with q Mtshap.
There was narrow escape from Sc
rious accident shortly after o'clock this
morning on the Metropolitan branch of
the Baltimore and Ohio at Terra Gotta.
The Frederick express, which arrives in
this city at $50, bringing a big crowd of
the clerks and others who reside at the
more important stations along the line,
was passing Terra Gotta at high rate of
speed, when there was suddenly a crash
Of breaking glass in the forward ladies'
car, back Of the smoker, and in the rear
car of the train. Several windows were
smashed in and the flying fragments of
glass cut several passengers about their
heads and hands. Fortunately, none were
badly injured. When the train reached
Washington an examination of the middle
and rear cars showed that some heavy
body had struck their sides, tearing off
the batting around many of the windows
and smashing number of the latter. 1t
was thought that the edge of freight car
on the switch at Terra Gotta had done the
damage. Had the obstruction, whatever it
was, extended an inch or two further on
the passenger track the results could not
have failed to have been serious. An in
vestigation is now under way by the B. and
o. officials.

the regular organization is Mr.. Ralph
