"Peliets" are superior in great many
ways to all mineral waters, sedlitz powders,
salts, castor oil, fruit syrups, laxative teas,
and other purgative compounds. Made of
concentrated vegetable ingredients, they
act in mild, natural way. Their second
ary effect is to keep the liver active and the
bowels regular, not to further constipate,
as is the case with other pills. They don't
interfere in the least with the diet, habits
or occupation, and produce no pain, grip
ing or shock to the system.

ziness, costiveness, or constipation, sour
stomach, loss of appetite, coated tongue,
indigestion, or dyspepsia, windy belch-
ings, "heart- burn, pain and distress after
eating, and kindred arrangements of the
liver, stomach and bowels. These pei
lets" are easily dissolved in the stomach
and absorbed into the blood, stimulating
flow of bile from the liver, and arousing to
activity all the glandular secretions. Thus
they act IL natures oaoW 7Uar. In proof
of their superior excellence, it can be truth
fully said, that they are always adopted
as a household remedy after the first trial.
Put up in glass vials, therefore always fresh
and reliable.
One little "Pellet" is laxative, two are
mildly cathartic. As dinner pill to
promote digestion, take one each day after
dinner. To relieve distress from over
eating, they are unequaled.

HOLT WILL INSPECTED.

Mr.. Rufus c. Hartranft, of Philadelphia,
an expert In Handwriting, called at the
office of the register of wills, yesterday,
and asked to see the viii OF the late Judge
Joseph Holt. He spent fully an hour
in looking Mt the famous and mysterious
paper behind its frame of glass and care
fully compared IL, the VIII or I3, with
the revoked will OF '4s.
Mr.. Hartranft refused TO tell the object
OF his visit, or who. If any one, had sent
him. He said he would be back To look III
the paper again, but would not admit that
either side of the coming contestants on the
validity of the Will had engaged his services.
IL is surmsed by some that he came to
Washington of his own .volition with the
intention OF making careful study OF the
will and then offer whatever conclusions he
comes 10 as an expert for sale as testi-
mony to the side In whose favor his OBJ
servations may result.

The annual report of the inspector gen

There has been q very marked improve

with which recruits are selected is evi-

have been numerous, and in one city alone
over 5000 applicants presented them

The system of theoretical instruction has
never been SO nearly perfect as now, and

TRAINS WRECKED At BOWIE
one Man Killed and Four Injured
in a Rear-End Collision.
1t Was on the Pope's Creek Line and
Did Not Delay Main Stem
Tra file.


One person was killed and four injured
in a wreck at Bowie, Md, by collision
between cattle train and an engine of
a repair train yesterday at 11:2O O'Clock.
From reports OF this disaster arose the
rumor in this city that a passenger train had
plunged from the Long Bridge into the Po-
toniac River.
Immediately after the collision the news
was telcgraphed to Washington and Train
Dispatcher McKeever, with Surg. c. v.
Boarnan and Drs. Edw ard rkins, Walter
Briscoe, and q. n. Carlisle, went to the
scene OF the accident by special train.
Tney found FRANK Ellis, a cattlenlan or
Fort Spring, Monroe county, w. Va. dead,
and the following injured: w. W. McClung
and J. NJ. skeggs. of Hughart county, w.
Va, and a. f. johnson, of Fort Spring, all
cattlemen, and Isaac n. HearD, a railroad
signalnan. The engineer and fireman
jumped III time to save their lives.
If either the cattle train or engine had
been tagged the accident might have been
averted. The cattle train OF ten cars that
passed through Washington yesterday
morning from GreeDbri3r county, w. Va,
was backing into the tracks of the Pope's
creek branch, which begins at Bowie, IN
order to facilitate the passage OF fast
passenger train over the main line 10
philadelphia.
At this time the engine of repair train
at work on the Pope's Creek line, near
Bowie, was running rapidly toward the
station to obtain water.
The caboose OF the cattle train and the
speeding engine crashed together. Several
cars were derailed and some of them thrown
high enough TO fall on the telegraph wires
stretched above the track.
In short time the dead man and his
injured companions were cXtricated from
the debris. Travel was not interferred
with for the reason that no train was
scheduled to pass over the Pcpc's Creek
line till O'Clock in the afternoon.

INVITATIONS ALL FRAUDS
Surprise Prepared for DR.. Greene by

Many Guests Were Asked to Attend
Reception at the Home OF

Several days ago various persons through
| out the city received invitations to recep-
ton to be given by Rev. Samuel II. Greene,
the well-known pastor of Calvary BAPTIST
Church, ut his residence, No. 1920 Q strec>.
northwest, last night.
The object of the reception, the invita-
ton stated, was for the purpose of meeting
Il prominent educator. Strange TO say,
however, Mr.. Greene, who was to be the host
! on this occasion, was not notified of the
preparations which had been made, and
was very much surprised when one of the
clevcrly gotten up cards fell into his hands.
The pastor had made other arrangements
! for the evening, and notwithstanding the
disappointment that would be caused by
| his refusal 10 entertain such "a select com
| pany, Was forced to publish n card To that
| effect. He even went further than that,
and named the invitations fraudulent.
| \ great many of the guests, however. failed

| his residence, only to find il in total dark
| ness. The educator IN whose honor the
| evenings entertainment had been planned
| evidently saw the notice and failed To put
in his appearance.
A Times reporter called at SEQ @ street

! pastor in his study in a very perturbed state
OF mind, and disinciined to talk on the sub
| ject.
