ood's SarSapariIIa

PEELED to cut her hair, as she could not
bear the weight Of it. At first tho change
for the better was very gradual; the pains
seemed to be less frequent and the SWELL
ing in some Of the joints subsidized after
using about one bottle. Then improve
ment was more rapid and one night she
surprised US greatly by telling us that we
need not prop her up in bed as we had
one for several months, and next night
she surprised US still more by rolling
over across the bed. From that time on
Improvement was Very Rapid
and she soon began to creep about the
house and then to walk on crutches. Now
she generally uses but one crutch, the dis
ease having left one leg crooked, and fear
it will remain 80. We feel that to Hoods
Sarsaparilla we owe our child's life.

That is why the Cures by Hoods
Sarsaparilla are permanent. They do
not rest upon the insecure support of
temporary stimulant, opiate or nerve a
compound, but upon the solid founda-
ton of'Vitalized, enriched and purified
blood. Read this:
The cure of Olive Carl by Hoods
Sarsaparilla has few equals in medical
history. The testimonial was first
published two years ago, and late

cceds an acre, and was donated by Mr.. and
Mrs. J. A. Green of Fort Foote. 1t is g.
beautiful site, and Is on the main road,

COLORED PEOPLE AT ATLANTA.
A Successful and Attractive Exhfbi
Being Put in Shape.


The exhibit of the colored people Of the
District at the Atlanta cotton exposition
promises to be larger and to contain a
greater variety of subjects than even the
NEST sanguine expected when the enter
prise was first suggested. Already twenty
four large boxes have been shipped to the
south by the committee having the mat
ter in charge, and the applications for
space are becoming so numerous that 1t is
probable that the amount already allotted
to the District colored people will be sub
stantially increased. Their exhibits con-
sist of specimens of practical handiwork
and artistic creation, which reflect in a
striking degree the story Of the wonderful
progress made by the race since its eman-
cipaton. The exhibit of Howard Univer-
sity, illustrating the work of that institu-
ton in its several departments, will be
complete and attract general attention
Perhaps the most significant object which
the local exhibit will contain will be the
colossal statue now being completed IN
Atlanta by the colored sculptor, w. c.
Hill. Mr.. Hill depicts a strong and muscu-
lar negro who has broken the chains and
manacles of slavery, but whose hands and
legs are still hampered with the fragments
Of the bonds, which still hang to him. This
statue will be finished in a short time, and
it Is expected that the entire exhibit will
be in place and appropriately arrayed by
September 49, upon which day the EXPOSE
ton will be formally opened

the first Monday CT next month, the 18th.
When the court will proceed to dispose of a
dccket or some sixty or more cases. Sew
eral Oh the cases are of much more than
ordinary Importance and interest. Among
these the two cases in which the Ecking-
ton and Soldiers Home Railroad Company
Is party are. perhaps the most impor-
tant. In one of the affairs the case goes
up to the appellate court on an appeal OF
the company from the decision of Chief
Justice Bingham, refusing the company an
injunction to restrain the District Commits
sioners from removing from the streets
TIE trolley poles and wires of the company
The other is that in which the superin-
tendent Of the company, Mr. w. K
Sckoepf, was fined in the Police Court for
otsiructlng the streets by maintaining the
Poles and wires. This case goes to the
Court OF Appeals because of; Judge Coles
of habeas. corpus. Another case of great
Importance to the people of the District is
that OF Augustus Burgdorf against the
District in which the question of the right
OF the District to, enforce the penalty of
per cent upon the property of delinquent
taxpayers is raised. Mr.. Burgdorf sought
to have the District restrained from sell
ing his property. Judge Cox refused the
Injunction. whereupon Mr.. Burgdorf noted
an appeal The appeal of Capt. Henry w.
Howgate VIII also come before the Court
of Appeals, the defendant appealing from
his conviction before Judge McComas last
summer upon two Indictments charging
him with forgery and making false re-
turns as an accounting Officer of the army.
Still another case of much Importance is
that of the United States against the Met
ropolitan Railroad Company. in which the
government seeks to recover the sum of
$153.OO0. The amount represents the cost

THE LITTLE BOY.
His Parents Found Him In Charge of
Charity.

A sad case was presented to the superin-
tendent, of charities yesterday, and is now
being Investigated. Thomas w. Holt, a re-
rairer of umbrellas, called to inquire about
his child. He explained that the little boy,
who is about eleven years of age. was
caught in a doorway in Anacostia, where
he had gone to escape storm, and was
taken before the Police Court. He knew
nothing of the arrest, and all Of his en-
deavors to find tfIe-ciiild had been frutless
With tears in his eyes he begged to be in
formed of the whereabouts Of his boy, whom
he was anxious to take home and educa to-
1t appears from an investigation that the
child, after his trial in the Police Court.
was handed over to the board of children's
guardians. as the case showed that the
father and mother were not fit persons to
rear the child Since he was taken in
charge By the board he has been given the
kindest attention. A hearing, however, has
been arranged, and the parents Of the boy
will be given a chance to appear and show
that they are able and well qualified to
rear the child.
