The human race affords in itself a most
singular study. There are among the
many classes OF thinkers those who repose
too much confidence in others, too little
confidence in themselves, or no confidence
in anything. The man who knows it all
himself, the man who thinks somebody
else knows it all and the man who thinks
he knows who know it all. The egotist,
the simpleton and the skeplic. Recognize
ing the fact that people require more sub
stantial evidence than mere words and
promises, Dr. Darrin resorts to the most
legitimate method of advertising himself

opportunity of investigating before calling
in person upon the DOCTOR the following

GREAT ICE PALACE READY

Enormous Surface for Skaters Where
Cold Blasts Cannot Reach aud One

One can hardly realize the complete
transformation that has taken place in
Convention Hall. Its long rows Of chairs
have all been removed, there is no stage,
its vaulted roof has been brilliantly deco
rated with national colors, and there are
even more electric lights than formerly
to make it brilliant.
Instead of a polished floor there is now
great sheet OF smooth and CLASSY ice.
100 feet wide by 200 feet in length. IL
is now termed an ice palace and is intended
to afford the people of Washington an
opportunity OF enjoying the heaithful and
vigorous sport OF skating without the
unpleasant features that accompany its
indulgence in the open air.
There is no such ice surface under cover
in the world as is now presented at the
old Convention Hall. This does not CON
stitute all the improvements that have been
made. There are handsome reception and
retiring rooms fer both ladies and geu-
temcn fitted up in almost spendor, and
brilliantly illuminated by hundreds OF cleo
tric lights.
There is smoking room for gentlemen
and well equipped cafe. There will also
be band in attendance every night,
which Will furnish excellent music. This
gorgeous ice palace will he thrown open to
it is safe To say that even the great
space will hardly contain all who may
wish TO indulge in skating.

SWIFT TORPEDO BOAT.
Russia Has II New Craft Which Makes

IOudon Enpineerinp

Very few vessels that have yet been built
have excited more interest than the SokoI,
the latest addition to the Russian fleet.
Tie guaranteed speed of twenty-nine knots
IL having been two knots In excess OF any
thing promised at the time the contract for
once that the interest shown by engineers
and naval architects in the progress OF the
vessel has been more than justified.
The vessel is i09 feet long, by Is feet 6
inches beam. She is, OF course, twin
screw vessel, and has three stage compound
engines of the type ordinarily fitted by
Messrs. Ysrrow in vessels of this class: hav-
ing cylinde. IS inches, e8inchcs t nd ss 2 Z :.
i1ches III diameter, by isinches in stroke.
The boilers are eight In number. They
are of the well-known Yarrow type, and
It may be stated that boiler arrangements
are similar to those OF the Hornet, the vessel
built by this firm for the English govern
ment, but which was about IA knots
slower than the Russian vessel. 1t will
be remembered that at the preliminary trial
the maximum mean speed of 80 Ia knofs
was obtained as second mean OF three
runs, with and against tide. Since then
the official three hours run had been made
IN the presence OF p rince oukhtomsky, naval
attachs to the Russian government, and
chief of the Russian Commission.

Even Tenor of Uncle Thatcher's Way.

On big farmin the ca stern part OF Maine
lives a man who has just celebrated his
ninety-fifth birthday anniversary, but
who in all that long time has never gone
more than thirty miles away from the
room in which he was born. Neither has he
ever seen a train of cars, ridden in stage
coach or been on board a steamboat, or
eaten meal at a hotel, and never swore an
oath. The unique character is H. Thatcher
Leighton OF Columbia, Washington county,
who is known in regions far beyond those
he has penetrated by the title OF Uncle
Thatcher. Today his form is as straight
as an arrow; he is as smart as whip. and
is In as full possession Of all his faculties

of the Greatest Interest Over
Seventy Already In.

The Senate District Committee viii get
down to work this week.
| 1t meets perhaps tomorrow; certainly
Friday. At this meeting all the legisla-
ton already presented viii be divided
among sub-commlttees for consideration.
Senator Harris, the old chairman OF the
committee, did not get out OF the District
others. So the moving did not take place
| that day. Senator Mcmillan and his clerk
moved In Friday, however.
Mr.. Moore, the clerk, was busy all that
day making up the calcLdar.= Mr.. Harris,
his predecessor, had 1t up to date when
he turned the work over, but a number OF
| new bills reached them that day.
ON THE CALENDAR
Today all bills so far introduced in
win be placed on the calendar and every
thing win be ready for distribution among
the subcommittee.
In all seventy-odd bills have been in
troduced In the Senate this session which
are of local interest. This number Is slightly
ahead of the number In other Congresses at
this time or course the fact that there
has been no holiday vacation has made a
great difference.
Barring telephone service the bills are
ofabout the same nature as presented before.
There is great deal OF similarity In District
work, and this session is no exception to
the rule. The action of the committee may
be no exception either.
The most important bill coming up will
be that giving dollar gas 10 the residents
| OF the District. The measure has already
| been introduced and the printed copies will
be in the committee room today. 1t was
up In the last Congress but did not become
| a law.
The matter of cheaper telephone service
also comes up this session. Bills have
| been introduced in both houses. The
opinion Of the District Commits sioners
| always has great deal OF weight in
District matters, and they have already
acted unfavorabiy on the application of
the first company. The matter, however,
will be fought, even against the opposition
of the Commissioners.
OVERHEAD WIRES.
The matter OF overhead wires will also
be before them. Already certain infor-
nation has been asked for from the COM
missioners. and 1t is possible that the reso-
luton may not be buried in a subcommittee.
The extension of the street system into
the District and The consequent loan which
must he negotiated must also be disposed
Of. Already the friends aud opponents Of
The bill are preparing their arguments,
and the committee will have 10 listen to
them.
The Committee on Commerce held short
meeting Thursday, and the Commit ee on
Elections will meet Tuesday. With
these exceptions. nothing has been done
in the Senate. This week all the COM
mittees Will get down tn work aud begin
ou the bills before them. But none of
them have any such amount of work be-
fore them as the District Committee. But
