HEADACHE
CURE

Stops headache in three minutes. 1t has
been successful in all acute and depress-
ing Headaches where other remedies have
failed. There have been so many Head
ache Cures put on the market which have
proven worthless that we anticipate a
want of confidence on the part of the
sufferer in this medicine; but If we could
hand you testimonials from thousands OF
patients who have found relief and been
cured by this remedy you would cast
aside all other medicines and depend en-
ureIy on the efficacy OF this Headache
Cure.

which the Wagners have not been anxious
seemingly, To exploit through the news
papers. 1t has been the general under
standing. taCitly at least, that the tearing
down OF the present bleaChers was for the
purpose of providing new ones, which
innovation was to be considered by no
means n senseless one, as the rotten con-
dition of the seats Will demonstrate.
When a few days ago word was sent
out that the bleachers were to be covered
it was considered very graceful act on
the part of the club owners. Now the fact
comes to the surface that all this philan-
throphy is for the Wagners only. The
so cent seats now adjoining the grand
stand on the right are to be extended, pre-
empting the 20 cents seats for nearly the
entire space, then the bleachers are To be
extended further on, so that those nearer
the end will be within hailing distance of
Anacostia. When last year a raid was
made on the bleacher seats and their ter
ritory diminished. ii was not well received,
but as it did not tend to materially in
crease the attendance at the 90 cent seats.
the owners evidently intend now a modest
little game of freeze out"
There has been, is, and always will be
lots of room for 90 cent patrons. and the
above reason why change is being made
is the only one apparent at this time.

TWO MIDGET WHEELMEN
Little Benners Brothers the Cycle
Shows Latest Charm.
They Are Crack Riders on LiIliputian
Wheels Built for Their
Especial Use.

In the crimson stand where the Saga
more ana Syracuse wheels divide atten-
ton at the cycle show. were two midget
bicyclist prodigies last night, with a cute
little wheel for each and a tandem for
both, with silver plated mounting and sad
die of the same material.
These little fellows were the Brenners
brothers, whose fame had proceeded them
TO the cycle show. They came from Phil
adeiphia with their father and mother, and
1t is putting it mildly TO say they made a
hit. The Brenaers are wonders as well as
objects OF extreme interest to all wheel
people.
Just coniure up a fancy picture of boys
but five and seven years of age, who weigh
only twenty seven and forty-six pounds re-
spectively. who Travelled over 10000 miles
OF territory in this country within period
Of five months last summer, attending
every meeting OF the national cycle circuit
and racing every day without breaking
down or losing meet through sickness,
and you have a real record OF these tiny
ONES who last night were the cynOsure OF
all eyes at the show, and Will doubtless
be e'today.
John is the younger and Lewis the older
of these wonders OF the cycling world. John
has a track record OF a quarter-mile in SO
seconds, made at Philadelphia, and Lewis
at Chicago did third-mie in 5S seconds.
They ride eight aud twelve pound wheels
and pedal twenty-four pound tandem that
is a picture to look at. They made races
against time last night. John made a
quarter in Is seconds, and Lewis an eighth
in 6 seconds; these trials being on home
trainers. which, of course, ar. faster than
track riding.
L. j. Moriarity and Rawley DoOme, local
scorchers, raced quarter on the home
trainers last night, which MOriarity won
in % seconds.
Today is the last OF the cycle show.
Aside from the Beuners brothers. there will
be special attractions there, afternoon and
night, for everybody who ever even looked
sideways at a bicycle. It's close will not
be a dull and uninteresting one. There
has not so far been II dull session of the
show, and the mana cement proposes that
the last ones shall not he.

UNLUCKY METEOR.
Emperor Williams Yacht Colldes With the
IsoIde-Baron Won Zedwitz, Owner of
the Latter, Fatally Injured.

London, Aug. 1S.-The Royal Albert
Yacht club regatta continued at South
sea today. The starters in the big race
were Ailsa, Britannia, Satanita and Me-
teor. The start was made at 10 o'clock.
The small raters. The Saint Niagara,
Samphire, Audrey, Penitent and Isolde
started over the same course at IL
o. block. While both races were in prog
ress the Meteor came into collision with
the Isolde, dismasting her and throwing
the crew into the sea. All the boats stop
ped and began rescuing the Isolde's crew,
which was accomplished. The races were
then abandoned. Baron Zedwitz, the
owner of the Isolde, who was on board
his yacht, was struck in the head and
face by some of the fragments of the
masts and other parts of the boats, which
the collision sent flying in every direc-
ton, and was painfully injured He was
conveyed to Ryde.
Later-Baron Won Zedwitz was struck
on the head by block or piece of broken
mast. He was conveyed to Ryde and it
is now stated he is dead. The flag on
the Ryde club house is flying at half

MR.. BRYAN GOES A-FIsHING,
But the Dispatches Fail to Tell Us What
Luck He Had

Upper Red Hook, N Y, Aug. 18.-Mr
Bryan came to Upper Red Hook for quiz
ct, but he is somewhat dubious of the
prospect. He will set to work composing
his letter of acceptance without delay,
and will probably largely perfect his
plans for the campaign while here.
Last night he wired the president Of the
League of Pennsylvania Democratic
clubs that he would appear at the con-
vention of that organiza ton on August
rs instead of on the date previously an
nounced. An invitation from Toledo has
also been received, and he will probably
speak there on his way home.
Mr.. Bryan today decided to emulate
the example of Messrs. Cleveland and
Harrison in the piscatorial field. Spring
lake, near Upper Red Hook, Is said to
swarm with bass and pickerel, and a fish
ing party for the benefit of the nominee
went there this afternoon. His sporting
experience never extended farther than
rabbit shooting, but the visit to this quiet
village, while it involves much hard
work, has brought about desire to try
his luck with the rod. Tomorrow or next
day Mr.. Bryan will take trip across the
Hudson to the CatSkillS

London, Aug. 1S.-The shock of the COL
lision between the Meteor and Isolde was
a heavy one. causing the Isolde to careen,
and as she did so all on board of her were
spilled into the sea. Her owner Baron
Won ZedwitZ, was struck on the head by
a block or a piece of the broken mast.
The baron was unconscious when he was
taken out of the water, and in this con-
dition he was hurriedly conveyed on
board steam yacht to the club house
of the Royal Victoria Yacht club at
Ryde, where he received every possible
medican attention. 1t Is understood that
he did not regain consciousness and that
he died very soon after reaching the club
house. All of the yachts and club houses
at Spithead are flying flags a half mast
In consequence of the baron's death.
The crew of the Isolde experienced some
very narrow escapes, but fortunately all
of them were rescued. A sailor belonging
to the British gunboat Ant, which was
lying at anchor near the scene of the
collision, rescued one of the Isoldes men
in a drowning condition. He could not
have survived thirty seconds longer. The
accident cast a gloom over everything
and the races were abandoned for the
day.
The Isolde was examined after being
towed to Portsmouth and it was found
that besides being dismasted and having
all Of her gear swept from her deck, sire
had large hole stove in her bow.

Outstanding upon adjournment of the
rather informal meeting of the executive
committee of the national committee this
afternoon was as stated.
The three members of the committee
who were here yesterday, Messrs Edger-
ton of Nebraska, secretary: Reed of
Georgia and Washburn of Massa-
chusetts, were Joined this morning by
Senator Marion Butler of North Carroll
ma, Chairman j. r. Sovereign of Arkan-
sas and Dir. c. F. Taylor of Pennsylva-
mia, who met shortly after noon in Sena-
tor Buffers room at the Shoreham.
They were in session about an hour and
after they had separated for lunch
Chairman Butler related to the newspa-
per men what had been DONE
To reporter for the Southern Asso-
ciated Press Senator Butler said:
Our meeting this morning was large
ly informal, and no definite action was
taken upon any subject. We did not
care, for one thing, to act in the absence
of Mr.. ]. w. Breidenthal of Kansas,
whose presence at our meeting is expect
ed. The other two members of the COM
John S. Dore of California, will not be
here. Mr.. Rankin Is treasurer of the ma
tional committee, and as such ex-offic.o
a member of the executive committee,
but his presence is not essential, as his
vote will not be necessary to settle any,
thing.
Nearly all of the session this morn
ing was spent in hearing reports from
the several members. Ever since the st.
Louis convention my time has been so
taken up with affairs in my own state
that have given attention to only such
national matters as demand instant ac-
tion. Therefore, l desired before enter
ing formally upon the transaction of
business to learn what my associates
could tell me of the condition of things in
their respective territories. 1 may say,
without going into details, that the re-
ports were far more satisfactory than
had reason to look for. Mr.. Dore, the
California member, has sent a written
report Of the condition in his state and

of the stockholders of the two companies
which have just been held resolutions
have been adopted by which the Able

from Abbeville, Ga. to Fitzgerald, Ga,
twenty-five miles, the seat of the sol
diers' colony. has been merged with the
Georgia and Alabama railway and will
hereafter be known as the Fitzgerald

ago quietly secured control of all of the
bonds and, stock of the Abbeville and
Waycross railroad, but up to the pres
ent time the Abbeville and Waycross
has been operated as a separate line.

MEETS TODAY.


The democratic executive committee
of the state meets today in Montgomery
in pursuance of a call issued some days
ago by Chairman Knox. One of the du-
ties of the committee will be the cleo
ton of a secretary to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Mr.. Thomas
H. Clark who has severed his connection
with the party and resigned the seere-
taryship.
1t is reported that the name of Mr.. N.
L. Miller of this city will be presented
to the committee as a candidate to I'LL
the vacancy. If there is to be any other
applicant for the place we have not
heard of it. Mr.. Miller is entirely COM
petent to fill the position and the com
mittee will make no mistake in choos-
ing him for the place. Mr.. Miller, as as
sstant secretary of the campaign COM
mittee during the state campaign, prov
ed to be very proficient man and en-
deared himself to the members OF the
committee With whom he came in con-
tact in the discharge of the duties OF as
sistant secretary OF the campaign COM
mittee. He is a staunch democrat ana
firm in his loyalty to party, and If elect
ed to succeed Mr.. Clark he may not prove
a more efficient man, but we can guaran-
tee that he will never desert the party,
and especially not in the face Of the en-
envy as Mr.. Clark saw fit to do.
The committee will also provide a
campaign committee for the fall contest
at it's meeting today. The democratic
electors are all expected to be present,
and in very short while the presiden-
tial campaign in Alabama will open up in
dead earnest

SHE DIDN'T KNOW.
What Could the Poor Girl Do When Sh
Couldn't See Behind.

What Could the Poor Girl Do When She
Couldn't See Behind.
1t all came about through the unmerci-
full hot weather, which is no respecter of
persons, says the PPost-Dispatch.
She was neat little bit of femininity,
not more than 20, and poets have written
whole reams of rhyme about maidens less
charming than she.
1t was perfect delight to see her
walk. There was nothing of the swagger
about it, nor was there any of the quick.
bnsiness-like nervousness which makes
a man shudder.
She wore a. white duck suit. canvas
shoes and a jaunty hat. If there was any
thing faulty about her makeup 1t es-
capped the casual observer.
But alas! though the thought be sad
one, even sweet bits of femininity must
persplre, and brass eyelets and steel ribs
and all that sort of thing are not proof
against the corrosive emulation that pro-
ceeds from human pores.
That is why the scores of pedestrians
who passed her on Broadway, near Lo-
Gust street, were startled and panied to
see right in the middle of her back the
rusty imprint of something that crossed
and recrossed like the laces Of shoe.
One or two married men glanced at it
and sighed.
A number of innocent young men saw
it and wondered what it could be.
Several small boys observed it and
thought 1t was the latest fad in female
adornment.
Scores Of ladies', young and old. passed
by her as she sauntered along and MUIR
INJURED:
Poor thing!'
Finally she disappeared through the
door Of a store and a friend who hap
pened TO see her followed her in.
There was WHISPERED CONVEX satjOn, a
nuff1ed scream and quick exit and the
poor girl made a run for Olive street 10

which to accomplish that end. Such be-
ing the case, what could Mckinley do to-
wards settling the financial question were
he to be elected president? He might
send the kind of message indicated by
his platform to congress, but Ii would go
the way of the recommendation of
Messrs. Cleveland and Carlisle on that
question.
If the house were in line with the pres
ident the measure recommended by Nc
Kinley would die-in the senate, and more
bond issues, a continuation of the panic,
together with the present unsettled state
of affairs, coupled with a gradual fall in
prices, would be the inevitable result.
1t appears conclusive, therefore,
to our mind that the only way
open to the people of the United
States by which settlement of the
financial question can be reached is
IN tho election of Bryan, and with him
FREQ coinage congress. If that be done
Bryan will. we are sure. judging from
what he said on that point in his accept
ancs speech call congress in extraordina-
ry session Immediately after March and
give the country a free coinage law. 1t
will not take long to ascertain what the
effect will be, and should it prove a fall
ure, as is predicted by some-which pre-
dietion we take no stock in, see no rea-
son for and have heard no argument to
sustain-no one doubts for - moment that
the same man would again call congress
together in extraordinary session and re-
peal 1t.
So it can be seen plainly that by the
election of Bryan and a free coinage con-
gress the financial question can be per-
manently settled, even should free coin
age prove a failure before congress would
meet in case of the election of McKin-
ley for if he were to be elected there
would be absolutely no use in his calling
congress together to attempt to carry out
what his platform promises. So far as
the financial plank of that platform is
concerned it simply promises to maintain
the present status of affairs financially
until England graciously consents to q
change, and the regular assembling of
congress would come in plenty OF time to
demonstrate to the republican candidate
that he could not get the senate to re-
enact his Mckinley law and permit the
finances of the country to remain in the
hands of the international gold trust.
