THOUGHT HIM INSANE.

He then hurried down stairs and told
the hotel mana ger that half-dreSsed man,
acting as if he was crazy and like he in
tended to commit suicide, was hanging on
by his fingers and toes on the rear fire
escape In the meanwhile joyce had
reached the end Of the ladder and had
realized his predicament. Then he glanced
upward and sd W what Ehrct had done at
the top. His only recourse was to make
the air blue around him.
when the people came rushing out Of
the hotel the sight of Bill, hatless, coatless,
and shoeless. clinging on the wall, con-
lrmed Ehret'S report of a crazy man. and
when Joyce spied Ehret III the crowd down
below, the language he used and his fist
shaking created genuine alarm among the
onlookerS. The hotel man dispatched bell
boys in every direction for policemen, and
a truck company was requested TO bring
its ladders.
The matter was now getting too Sc
rious for further Indulgence, and upon the
arrival Of the ladders Ehret told the hotel
man of the hoax. He then took the precau-
ton to get clear a way before Joyce climbed
down, else he would have been shy a great
deal of stra wberry hair and several patches
Of red hide after Bill had settled the ac-
count with him.
"Of course, Joyce soon got into a good
aumor, but Ehret would always move off

II is not thought that the meeting OF
minor league representatives, which will
be held in this city March 16, will dc
velop anything antagonistic to the Ma
tional League. One or two of the small
fry are making kick against the parent
organization. but there are bad children
in every family.
President Powers of the Eastern League
does not favor the meeting, but as it is
to be held he will attend merely TO look
after the interests of the clubs under his
charge.
With Pebble jack Glasscock on first
ing lines, the st. Paul club, of the Western
League, is liable 10 turn many tricks the
coming season.
If there is anything about tricky base
ball that Comiskey and Glasscock don't
know, only Tommie Mccarthy, of Brook
Ign, can point it out.
On March 80 the strong club represent
ing Lafayette College will come to Wash
ington and play Columbian University.
The varsity boys are well up in their
practice work and will make a fine record
number of the strongest collegiate clubs
in the country.

The big Businessman has devoted his
time exclusively to hunting and fishing,

gun, there hasn't been paucity of fish and
game among his friends at Morehead.

are ma rred, Mcguire, Cartwright, An

bring their wives TO Washington with them

An Ever Youthful Queen. (From the Woman at Home.)

The Queen of Denmark, after fifty three years of married life, retains an almost girlish affection for her hus- band. Those most in the presence of the illustrious couple declare that 1t is a charming sight to watch these two; he all attention and gallantry, and she accepting his allegiance with so pretty and queenly a grace. Together they discuss affairs of state, play with their grandchildren, and when evening sets in bring out their chess and cards, and thoroughly enjoy a good game togeth- CT, The queen, like her daughters af- ter her, has the gift of perpetual youth. At the age of seventy -eight-for she is only @ few months younger than her husband-you might still call her a pretty woman. 'If grandmothers want to keep young," she will say, they must have young people about them" And acting on this principle, the queen has always host of youthful friends and her grandchildren, if possible, staying in the house. Like the king, she is fond of going about unhindered, and when feeling well enough in health she will put in an appearance at the riding school unattended, to see how her grandsons are progressing with their lessons When l am not grand mother, am aunt to all Europe" re- marked the queen to a friend at court. And hardly day passes that Her Ma jesty does not write in reply to some question put to her about the health or we'll being generally of some one of her youthful subjects. A distressed moth CT wrote to ask her good advice as to how she should treat an attack of influ- enza from which her little son was suf- fering. This was the reply: Dear M, grieve to hear that little - is suffering from influenza. Let me tell you what have found the best reme- dy in such a case. Here is the pre- scription. ~. Give him a table spoonful before each meal, and tell him his loving grandmother will give him a nice present if he gets well at once"

SCAVENGER LIVER.
Your Liver Will Cleanse Your System
 If It's Kept Well.

 Your liver is storehouse and a scavenger. It stores up digested food for use when wanted. It arrests and throws out dangerous poisons which are trying to get into your circulation. Indigestion disorders your liver by creating poisons that paralyze it. Bill iousness, and other disorders, are caus- ed by these and other poisons passing your liver and infecting your whole system ta
 This is a simple explanation of many disorders which often seem incurable. But they are only incurable because not understood. If you will treat your stomach with Shaker Digestive Cor dial, all these disorders will disappear The cause will have been removed. Shaker Digestive Cordial is a gentle, vegetable tonic, which aids you to di- gest your food. It cures the disorders caused by the poisons of undigested food, and prevents your stomach from disordering your liver.
 It relieves almost immediately the following symptoms, viz: headache, dizziness, nausea mental depression, weakness, lethargy, fever stomach ache, bad taste, Eatulence. constipation, loss of appetite, jaundice, emaciation, general debility, nervousness, neural gia, offensive breath, anaenia, rheu- matism, etc.
 It makes you feel well and strong, It cures you when nothing else will.

Who the Tall Man in Black Was.
 (From the New York Sum-


 A tall man in black clothes of no par ticular style entered Broadway jew elry shop the other day and asked to see a watch The clerk, sizing him up for poor country parson who would be well rid of, produced two hundred dollar time-piece as a discourager The stranger looked it over and asked to see something better Winking to the cashier the clerk reached for spec ially made chronometer, the price of which he felt would be squelcher The seedy man examined the watch and inquired it's value,
 "One thousand dollars" said the bright clerk.
 "Ah," observed the customer. "Let me see chain, please"
 An expensive chain was produced, and then the visitor selected a valuable charm which had been made for eXhi- bltion only. The stranger stuck the jeWelry into his vest pocket, and the clerk, fearing that he might have en- tertained a thief, kept close to the sus- pect who quietly fished out a big roll of bills, and placed two thousand-dollar gold certificates upon the counter. Utterly phased, the salesman remarked that it was customary to keep the names of customers to identify goods if lost by purchasers.
 My name is Jones'" said the stran- ger; Senator Jones of Nevada. You may address me at the Capitol" And the silver senator, taking the change for his gold certificates, departed.

Movement of Indusfrials Alone Excited
 Any Interest.
 New York, May 2.-The movement in the industrials was the only thing that excited interest in the excessively dull stock market to-day. Sugar certificates were marked up as part of a process of educating" simple outsiders to a price level we'll above 120; the results of such education being familiar from a score of experiments. The further heavy break in Tobacco stock were de- signed, perhaps, for education in an exactly opposite direction.
 In both these stocks "insiders" are evidently biding their time, until fan cied immunity shall have made the out side investor and speculator reckless. Apart from these two toys of profess sional schemers the market was again quite dead.
 As compared with the final prices last Saturday the majority of the stocks are lower. The more important net de- clines are in American Tobacco 1 per cent, Manhattan Elevated 1R, General Electric 1A, Colorado Fuel and Iron 1, Rock Island, Burlington and Quincy and United States Rubber % each, La- clede Gas 5s, North American, United State Leather preferred and Western Union F per cent. each. The notewor- thy advances are in American Sugar Refining 21s per cent, Cleveland, Gin cinnati, Chicago and St. Louis 12s, Con- solidated Gas 1, Chicago Gas and Omaha A each, Reading $ and St. Paul F per cent.
 Following are the closing prices re- ported by Prince & Whitely. bankers and brokers, 46 Broadway, New York, and 15 Center street, New Haven:

1T seems that the regular mee-

been neglected of late, this is a
bad Indication, because when an in

If the Legislature in counting
the vote of the Governor take in
consideration the frauds that were
practiced throughout the state by
the friends and adherents-of Fos-
tor, they will soon find out that
the large majority given to Foster

sest and most glazing kind. After
reading the country papers and
learning the tactics practiced by
the Fosterites, we have not the
least doubt that Phsrr was cleo
