NEVER TOO LATE TO MEND

1t may be broken spirit, a broken life
or broken heart All may be Inended.
To those who are broken in health in mind
and body this motto is especially commend
ed. Dr. r. A Walker, the noted Specialist,
permanently located in this city, can be
consulted free of charge.
Here in Washington there are thousands
OF men who are ruiniug their health by
overwork. They are overtaxing their
strength energies so great that the fuel
is burned faster than it is supplied and
thus are they laying the foundations for
nervous prostratiOn, neurasthenia, general
break down or worse. Boys and young
men, students, clerks, mechanics, artisans;
youths in all the varied walks OF life are
lnjuring their health by Over-excitruent
and overwork. The delicate nerves viii
not long stand the strain without giving
way. There is no physician of rnOdern times
VINO has had the opportunities to observe
and treat nervous diseases that-Dr Walker

them his life work.
He is constantly receiving natte ring tes-

POSTAL CARS IN STREETS.
In Operation in Two Cities, But vii
Soon BE in Others.

In Operation in Two Cities, But VIII
Soon BE in Others.
The Inauguration Of a system of rail-
way postoffice cars in Boston on May 1
has served to call attention TO the extra
ordinary developments of the idea OF
employing the trolley lines in cities to
aid in the collection and distribution of
the mails. There are at present over
eighty trolley lines on which mails are
carried and the number is being rapidly
increased.
These lines are used in three ways. The
most important are for running cars fitted
up exactly like those on the steam rail-
roads of the country. These cars belong
to the postoffice, and are manned by en-
ployes of the government.
Clerks accompany them who take mail
on at all stopping places, either from the
carriers who have co llected Il from
the street boxes or at the substations,
or from individuals who hand their letters
in at the door.
The mails are sorted and distributed
as rapidly as possible, and in many cases
the time originally required for a letter
to reach its destination is reduced by
many hours.
SO far, this system is in vogue in two
cities only, Brooklyn and Boston, but it
will soon be extended to Philadelphia aud
Chicago, where the cars will probably be
running within month. In New York the
matter is not so far forward The street
railways there do not seem TO be espe-
cially desirous of running the cars at the
rates that the Post Office Department is
able TO offer, and ii will probably be
long time before the city is provided with
the service given her more progressive
sisters.
The second system is known as the closed
pouch system, ard is in use on seventy-five
or eighty trolley lines, distributed among
some fifty cities.
In addition to these two systems there
are ten or dozen messenger routes.
This whole vast system has grown up
within the last four years.
The first two genuine trolley line mail
routes were begun in July, 1899. One
of them was from Evansville to Newburg,
Ind, and the other from Atlantic City to
Longport, N j. These were all that We're
inaugurated in 1889. A half dozen more
were added i'll 1890, and after that others
were opened up in rapid succession. The
shortest route is one running cut of Omaha,
being very little over one mile in length.
The average annual cost of this system
is about $500 per mile each, and altogether
they cost a very large sum. Most of them
are paid for under special agreements, but
it is intended to ascertain as soon as practi-
cable by absolute weighing, the amount
of mail carried by each system and base
the payments on that, as in the case of the
steam railroads.

HIS HAIR GREEN.
Rare Affllction of the Patient of
baltimore Physician.

Rare Affllction of the Patient of a
Baltimore Physician.
DR.. Arthur Oppenheimer, first assist
ant resident physician at Johns Hopkins
Hospital, has a specimen Of green hair
coming from the head of a human being.
At a meeting OF the medical society he
exhibited the hair, which was from a pa
tient who came to the medical dispen-
sary in 1891. Because OF the rarity of
the case knowledge OF it is of great value
to the medical fraternity.
The patient was a coppeTsmith fifty
eight years old, and seemed TO care lit
tie for cleanliness. The coloration was
caused by fine copper oxide dust lodging
on the mans head and not being prompt
ly removed at the end of each days
work At the tine he was suffering with
a rather distressing cough, which in
creased in severity and finally resulted in
death DR.. Oppenheimer, in speaking
about the case, said:
'Since half a year or so he had had
vague stomach symptoms, nausea, occa-
sional vomiting, some distress, but no
actual pain after eating; no collie. No
pulmonary symptoms were complained
of, and the examination of the chest
aud abdomen was negative. There was
no lime on the gums.
1.-The chief point of interest was the
hair. Like the specimen presented, it
was q pale but quite distinct green. This
was more true of the hair on the head
and of the mustaches, but all over the
body, in the avilla, over the pubes and
shins there was the same coloration.
Copper was easily demonstrated chem
icaIly. Microscopically the hair was uni
formly colored, no crystals being seen
anywhere. The colcr was less marked
toward the roots of the hair. Boiling
in water did not remove the color, but
ammonia did SO at once.
.Greeuish hair with men in copper
works and in copper mines is not un-
known. AS far back as 1854 Bartholin
noted its occurrence. Several observers
since then have remarked on it. Robert,
in his 'Intoxications Krankheiten, and
Hirt, in his 'krankheiten der Arbeiter,'
both mentioned it. Petri in 1881 reported
a case in which the roots of the hair were
free and crystals were to be seen.
+On questioning at the copper works,
it was found that the patient was an
exception, the majority OF men being
free They state, however, that it is
only by scrupulous cleanliness that they
avoid the coloration. They must wash
their hair daily in solution of soda,
as ordinary w ater is Intellectual. The
part first apt to be affected is the mus
tache, and next the head; though, if the
latter is protected by thick cap, it will
be free The color appears lew days
after starting work, and is more apt to
come in the summer time, when they
sweat freely Then the underwear has
rreensh tiEge whenever it has been
thoroughly wet with sweat. They sell
dom have any castro intestinal disturb
ance, but a severe distressing cough is
not uncommon, and occasionally ends
fatally a0

A combination was effected yesterday
Trade of all the most important organi-
cations interested in the potato patch plan
for the relief of the poor of Washington.
This scheme, it may be noted, serves two
purposes, as it will be carried out in
Washington. II will, in the first place,
provide employment for the worthy who
wish to work, and ii will be check on
the unworthy who shall ask and may be
denied aims next winter
At the meeting yesterday afternoon
were the following representatives:
Board of Trade, F. L. Moore, chairman
Of its committee on charity, and Messrs.

The object OF the meeting was to form
joint COMMITTEES to take charge OF the inter
ests of all concerned-in fact, TO pool
issues on the potato farms for the poor.
Mr.. Noyes was nominated as chairman,
but declined, for good reasons. Mr.. F.
l.. Moore was then elected permanent
chairman, and Mr.. l.. S. Emery was elected
its secretary.
The report of the subcommittee of the
central relief committee recommending
the plan TO the latter was read to the meet
ing anC discussed, the discussion turning
on the plan itself, and being participated
in by Messrs. Noyes, Emery, Parsons, and
Wight
1t was shown in the discussion that the
committee had the use of thirteen acres,
Offered by Mr.. Chris. Heurich. and about
forty lots, rendered by Messrs Weller &
Repetti, in the city.
The joint committee then determined to
go to work Immediately, and appointed
an executive committee with power TO act
TO carry out the project. This committee
is F. l.. Moore, chairman, l.. S. Emery,
j. B. Wight, j. w. Somerville and Nj. d.
Peck.
Messrs. Moore and Peck were appointed
a subcommittee to solicit lots, and Mcssrs.

AT the meeting a letter was read by
Mr. Wight from Mayor Pingree, of Detroit,
in which that gentleman speaks OF the
good accomplished by giving factory
people an opportunity OF oultivnung small
tracts OF land. Theseason for TINS charity
is Just opening in Detroit.

A wIFE's RUsE.
Tired of Country Life, She Adopted E1.

Tired of Country Life, She Adopted Ex-
traordinary Means to Get Away.
Tired of a monotonous existence in
small country town, Nine Auclert, wife of
a medical practitioner at Brezolles, in the
Beauce, adopted strange measures for the
purpose of freeing herself from marital
control, says a Paris letter TO the Lon
don Telegraph.
She wrote anonymous letters to her
husband, and in these epistles accused
herself of breaking her marriage vow.
The doctor disbelieYed the charges form
ulated i'll the letters which he tore up and
burned with many shrug of his shoulders.
Nine. Auclert then turned her hands to
ineeudiarism, and set fire to a barn near
her abode.
After the place had been burned down she
told her husband that sh ewanted to leave
district peopied by savages, who intended
next, no doubt, to fire her dwelling. La
leu, man of no consequence in the
town, was reported to the geudarms as
the criminal who had burned the barn,
and, filled with fright at the prospect
Of impending arrest, the poor wretch
hanged himself.
The anonymous letters still continued
to rain on the doctor, who at last dis
covered that his wife's handwriting was

slyes were written. a1.,4--.ss.-..- =

THE CARRIAGE QUESTION.

The disposal Of the District refuse, after
considerable delay and controversy, has
been settled until next October, when a
new contract must be made The Com
missioners are anxious to terminate the
present contract at the close of tie fiscal
year, in July, but were unable TO do so
because the contract or desired to hold on to
his bargain during the time when II was
most nemunerative. Some notifications,
however, were secured, and the public viii
be better protected than before.
While Congress was in session the Com
missioners, the press, and the public gen
orally made strenuous demands for Gre
matory. The necessity for one was made
so apparent that SIC, 900 was appropriated
10 build such an establishment; but both
crematory and its need seem 10 have
passed from the public mind.
After October 81 next a new contract
for the disposal Of city garbage must be
made, and inthe aaeantime the public would
like to hear from the crematory.

POLICE CHIEFS, CONVENTION.

One week from to-day the convention of
chiefs Of police viii assemble in this city.
The discussions and deliberations of such
q body OF men cannot be other than inter
esting and instructive, as they deal with
phases Of everyday life that concern,
more or less, every person ID every com
munity in some way or another.
The interests confided to the care Of
these officials are to the last degree i'm
portant. They control forces mat affect
directly the moral atmosphere of a
community, and comfort and security Of
the citizens and the safety of property.
in exact proportion to their watchCulness
and consc1enhousness is the freedom of a
city from crime and vice.
The chiefs win be made welcome to the
National Capital, and their proceedings

LOWER COURT SUSTAINED
Court of Appeals Decision In the Lit
Teton VIII Case.

The effect of the Tesiduary clause Of viii
was in one respect determined by decision of the
Justice Alvey.

His wife sdesignated as beneficiary but had
died previously His VIII left the residue OF his
his estate to his daughter, N rs Anna L. Johnson.
she claimed that she sthus designated
beneficiary of the policy but the constitution
OF the Eenefit association provided that in case
no widow survive dthe insurance should be equally
divided among the children. This would give

Mrs. johnson brought suit for the whole amount
and when defeated took appeal Yesterdays

holds that the designation OF beneficiary under

THIS COUNTRY CAN,

THIS COUNTRY CAN'T BE BOSSED.
The letter of the President announcing
his purpose TO deal summarily with office
holders not in accord with the financial
policy of the administration is fmprudent
Such manifestos give strength to the
opposition, touch the pride of the public,
and show an arbitrary spirit that arouses
Indignation.
The present popular sentiment against
'gold bugs is due more to President
Cleveland's lack of prudence in dealing
with the financial question than TO any
other course Instead of adopting a con-
ciliatory policy he divided his party in
Congress by refusing TO make concession
when such a course would have put
off finEncial agitation, and at 10 time has
be shown the slightest disposition TO
yield when yielding would have in
sured Democratic harmony and Demo
cratic supremacy.
The time has happily gone by when one
man power can rule the United states.
The DAYS OF by the Eternal jackson
VIII never return, because the public no
longer depends on stump speakers for
. political information. Every day the entire
country, through its newspapers and press
associations, is put in possession OF com
plete political, commercial, aud financial
news Readers are fully informed as to
important events, and want no man to
dictate a policy either for them or their
Congressional representatives. In short,
they do their Ow u thinking.
This fact President Cleveland seems 10
overlook or he would not treat the public
as a set OF numbskuIls to be bossed and
ruled according 10 his sweet Will Office
holders are men entitled to an opinion.
Although appointed 10y executive authority
they are servants OF the people and not
OF President Cleveland, and he has no
right to remove them because they differ
from him on bipartisan questions.
The financial whirlwind that threatens
the country was sown by President Cleve-
land when he refused TO compromise with
the silverites. Had he done so and post
poned this agitation until prosperity re-
turned there would have been no extreme
silver demands. But he attempted to boss
the situation and is now about to accept
his punishment.

sayre Case Judcment REVERSED

The Supreme Court OF the Uuited States

David B. Sayre, involving the constitu-
tionality of courtmartial law, appealed

GAMBLERS OR PEOPLE,

The Christian Endeavor Societies OF
northern Virginia adopted resolutions yes
terday condemning the evils of the out
law track, and in doing SO opened the cru
sade in Alexandria county against the
corruptness of its officials The situa-
ton demands the cooperation of all we'll
meaning people, and now that the En-
deavor societies have shown the way,
other organizations should follow, and
assist IN redeeming the county across the
river from the hands Of the gamblers who
control it.
The political situation Of Alexandria
nounty is precarious. The outlaw party,
The Washington times., 1895-05-07

now in power, seems to be in the majority,
and unless friends of law and order show
more activity they will be defeated. The
spectacle of a county in such a predica-
ment, that lays claim to having been the
honored home of Washington, is shame
fully Illuminating, aud those of its citl-
zens not lost to sense of pride should
rally aud wipe out the disgrace at the polls.
Now is the time TO begin the work of re-
pudiating the claim of the gamblers, that
they will continue in control of Alex
andha county.
