HOUSE NERVES.
An AiIment Caused by Too Much Sc.
clusion.


ciuSiOn
Energetic care free individuals laugh at
the suggestion of such an aiiment as house
nerves, and say it is only imaginary. But
and admit that of all complaints this is the
most trying
People OF sedentary habits who spend all
their time indoors frequently become NOR
bid, brooding, and irritable. The failure
OF any one member OF the family to reach
home at the usual time brings forth gloomy
forebodings of disaster; the absence of any
one at night causes floor walking and tears,
even though such person be ofmature years,
sound health, and abundant ability to care
for himself. A projected journey is over
casted by recitals of all the horrible acci-
dents that have happened since the year ]. .
Meals are unsatisfactory, clothes never fit,
no one sympathiZes or condoles with the
sufferer, and the result is human wet
blanket that can effectually blight the slight
est approach to gayety.
The reasons of house nerves are legion.
Introspection is one. Let woman sit al
home day after day, week in and week out,
and an analysis of everything and person
within her ken naturally follows, herself
included. A woman who studies herself,
her wants and desires, her ailments and
loneliness is on the fair road to an asylum,
did she but know it. 1t is all right for poets
to speak of know thyself.' The woman
or man, either, does not live to whom daily

GLASCOCK CASE DISMISSED
Senator Stewart Was Named as CO.
respondent BY the Husband
He Set Detectives to Work and Threatened
to Prosecute Husband and Wife
Counsel Keeps His Own Counsel.

The divorce suit in which Senator Stew
art was named as correspondent has been
dismissed. 1t was Charles L. Glascock
against Carrie NJ. Glascock. and was filed
here last May. The papers were kept Sc
cret, and only in August last wasit developed
that Senator Stewart was involved.
As soon as the suit was brought Sen
ator Stewart set detectives to work and
soon had evidence entirely satisfactory to
himself and to his attorney, Col. Robert
Christy, that there was collusion between
Glascock and his wife to eXtort money
from the Nevada Senator.
Mrs. Glascock had come TO Senator Stew
art in the first place as a Southern woman
seeking assistance for herself and her little
children, who were starving. She enlisted
the sympathies of Mrs. Stewart, who is her
self a Southern woman, being the daughter
of the late Gov. Foote, of Mississippi
Senator Stewart gave her small amounts
of money, So to SO at a time, and at one
time sent some coal and provisions.
Finally the woman began TO act, he said, as
though there had been some improperly
between them and to make covert threats.
Thereupon he refused to allow ter to come
to his office. Soon after the bill for divorce
was filed.
that Glascock and his wife were living to-
gether after the bill was filed, and were seen
under circumstances that left no. doubt
that they were cooperating in their efforts
to secure hush-money.
There was evidence that at one time they
had laid plan TO make scene involving
Senator Stewart in front OF the Riggs
House.
Senator Stewart Intended at one time to
have the couple prosecuted for conspiracy
to blackmail, but no action has ever been
taken. 1t is supposed that his duties in
the Senate. combined with his efforts in
assisting TO organize the silver party, have
prevented his doing anything.
Tre GIascocks came here from North
Carolina and the husband was for a long
time employed in the Richmond and Dan
vile offices and bore good reputation with
his emp!syer and associates. He had,
however, been dismissed several months
before the alleged intimacy of his wife
with Senator Stewart.
Their home was for a time ON street
northeast and later on NJ street northwest.
Neither name is in the current directory
and nobody seems to know where Mr.. and
Mrs. Glascock now are. Mr.. Darlington
was last night asked for a statement regard
ing the dismissal of the suit, but none was
given.

UNDER LOAD OF BRICKS.
James Gordon Had a Narrow Escape from
Death in the Monument Grounds.

That James Gordon, colored laborer,
is still alive is a surprise to himself, as well
as the physicians at the Emergency Hos
pital. About 6 O'Clock last evening Cor
don was hurriedly assisting in unloading
broken bricks from several carts at the
works in course of erection south of the
Washington Monument.
The whistle had blown for quitting time
and Gordon was anxious to get home to his
supper. Suddenly the driver of cart
Tilted it backward, and before Gordon
could move out of the way he was buried
beneath the entire load of bricks The
driver of the cart and several other men
quickly shoveled the load from off Cor
don's PROSTATE form, and in a haif-con-
scious and badly bruised condition he was
removed to the Emergency Hospital.
DR.. Smith made a thorough eXamina-
tion of the wounded man, but found that
no bones were broken, although he re-
ceived severe internal injuries. Gordon
lives at No Fenwick place.

There are still other hours of sewing done

penalties enforced upon American citizens
in Cuba.
He added, however, that the relations
between the United States and Spain were
cordial, as the reception of the Spanish
cruiser Nueva Espana at Tampa. Fla, DEM

had spoken warmly of the friendly demon
stration in favor of the Spanish flag which

An awful state OF Juvenile depravity was
brought 10 light in Cabbage alley southwest
by Policemen Anderson and Bowie, OF the
Fourth precinct, and the disgusting details
related in the police court yesterday. For
some time past the officers have been aware
OF an outrageous series of orgies that were
being carried on by number OF dissolute
men and girls in one OF the tumble-down
Cabbage alley tenements. Wednesday night
they raided the place and arrested Mildred
Brown aud Nora Weller Thompson, colored,
who are not yet fourteen years OF age. The
girls have been leading an immoral life and
keeping company with some of the most de-
PRAYED men in the Southwestern section
After Judge Miller had heard the testimony
be sent the girls to the reform school, where
they will be kept during their minority.

DECREASE OF DEAFNESS.
Prof. Bell Would Effect 1t by Putting
Deaf Mutes in Public schools

Chicago, March 7.-prof. Alexander
Graham Bell. in lecture here on the public
instruction of the deaf. has advanced the
idea that deaf children should be placed in
classes in the public schools, instead Of Sc
cluded institutions.
He said that the chances are that if the
deaf are taught with other children, many
could speak, though they could not hear.
Such a method, Prof. Bell said, would
largely lessen the tendency to intermarriage
among deaf mGtes, and thus materially de-
crease the number Of those who are born
deaf.
