Your Physical Condition.

Needs attention at this time. If you are
tired, weak and nervous, 1t is clear that
your blood is impure, and without doubt
there has been too much over-work or
strain on brain and body. The course
OF treatment for such condition is plain
and simple. The blood must first be
purified so that the nervous system, and
in fact all the organs will be fed upon
pure blood. Intelligent people without
number have testified that the best blood
purifier and nerve tonic is Hoods Sar-
saparilla.

Bicycles In Poetry and song.

Shakespeare, it would seem, must have
known something about bicycles, for
throughout his plays he makes frequent
reference to the wheel, says the Washing
ton Post. 1t must be that Hamlet's faith
er had visited bicycle academy, where
beginners on the wheel were plenty, for
his ghost said: "What falling off was
there"
This most excellent description is par
alielled by another in the same play, in
which reference is made to an accident,
the new woman of the early sixteenth
century being evidently the greatest suf-
ferer. The first player says:
Break all the spokes and fellies from
her Wheel
Then the Fool in ''Lear" gives advice
to coasters, of the merits OF which the
modern rider may judge for himself. He
says:
LET 60 thy hold when great wheel
runs down hill, lest it break thy neck
with following it," IL
Even Cleopatra had her wheel. mp
tony advises her to mount it and per
Caesar, when he says: 6.83
"Of Caesar seek your honor with con-
safety" han
There were evidently bicycle thieveotal
those days, and owners had to caref
guard their precious wheels. In cling
Tempest" Alonzo says to the king; on
1--WE, too, my lord, 80
Will guard your person while you ta's
your rest, vi
And watch your safety"
In that same play Ariel undoubtedly
heard the king and his attendants COM
ing on their wheels, when he sang:
clark! Now hear them ding, dong,
bell"
There is no doubt that Achilles, in
"Troilus and Cressida,' travelled on a
bicycle, for he says to his myrmidons:
"Attend me while wheel"
1t is safe to assume mat, as to-day the
the wheel is never ending source OF con-
versation, SO it was in the time of Titus
Andronicus, though the listener was
more patient then. Aaron says to De-
mentrius:
"Now talk at pleasure OF your safety"
1t appears from quotation made by
the king in "All's Well That Ends Well"
that the law required lamps to be carried
at night, and that violation of it was
followed by death. He says:
"Let me live after my flame lacks OIL"
Chains were not noiseless, and bells
were used in the days of the Comedy OF
Errors" as shown by conversation be-
tween the Dromio OF Syracuse and Adri-
ana, which runs thus:
"a chain, chain, do you hear it?
What, the chain?
No, no; the bell.
The availability OF wheels in dangerous
service is illustrated in "Coriolanus,"
when the winded messenger says to Com
mus
"Spies OF the Volsces
Held me in chase, that ] was forced to
wheel
Three or four miles about; else bad |, sir,
Halt an hour since brought my report"
The tire of which Shakespeare wrote
was evidently filled hair, instead of air,
and even its color was of Importance. In
Much Ado About Nothing" Margaret
says:
II like the new tire within excellently,
if the hair were thought browner."
Puck's prophetic remark about placing
girdle around the world in forty minutes
is fully equalled by that OF Launce, in

he says
"Then may set the world on wheels"

Congregational Appropriations.

Senator John L. Wilson is home from
Washington and gives the following list
of the direct appropriations for this state
made by congress-
One hundred thousand dollars for the
Spokane military post; an appropriation
of $4,000 to treat with the Yakima H.
dams for the cession of portion OF their
reservation, the same commission to also
treat with Indian tribes in Dakota and
Montana; $1,000 for the final estimate and
survey for the Improvement of the Okla
hogan river; $4,000 for the upper Snake
and Columbia; 100000 for the removal OF
the bar in the Columbia river, near the
city of Vancouver; $35, 900 to continue
the Improvement at Olympia; $4,000 to
continue improvement at Snohomish
slough; $75, 900 for the improvement Of
tributary streams of Puget Sound. OF
this sum SIS, 600 will be expended in the
| improvement OF the snag boat and proba
bly, $25 900 for the removal OF the big jam
at the mouth OF the Skagit river; $780,
900 for the Lake Washington waterway.
The bar at the mouth of Gray's harbor
was placed under the contract system and
the secretary Of war was authorized to
| let contract for its improvement, the to-
| tai cost of said improvement not to ex.
coed 81 900, 900. Quite number Of other
streams were ordered surveyed, looking
to their ultimate improvement, the most
important being at New Whatcom, where
it is hoped eventually to have the same
character OF improvement as is now in
progress at Olympia. One hundred and
ten thousand dollars was appropriated for
buildings and officers quarters at Port
Orchard dry dock; also 200 reappro-
priated and $4,000 additional for the
survey OF the ColvilIe Indian reservation.

1t is proposed to change the basis OF
representation in the national republican
convention, and give each state four dele
gates at Large and one additional dele
gate for each 1000 votes or a majority
fraction thereof cast in each state for the
election of the republican electoral ticket
at the last preceding election. This would
make many very important changes in
the makeup of the convention. If based
upon the votes cast in 1894 New York
would have 102 delegates instead of H.,
as now Pennsylvania 81. instead OF GA !;
Illinois 70, instead of As; Washington %,
instead of 8; Oregon IA, instead of 8 !;
Texas %, instead OF 30; Louisiana
IA, instead of 16; Georgia 10. in
stead Of 62--in fact, nearly every
Southern state would lose and nearly ev-
cry Northern state gain. Under such an
superintendent California would have
only two more delegates than Washing
ton, instead of ten more, as at present.

MORE INSANE PATIENTS
Curious Halluncinations That Trouble
the Distorted Brain

Mrs. Virginia Arne, whose troubles
were recited in The Herald on Sunday
last, was brought before Judge Shaw
yesterday and ordered committed to
Highland. This lady is As years Of age
and is predisposed by heredity to mental
disturbance. She has been a monoma
Mao on the subject that her room in the
W. c. 7. U. Temple has been ransacked
by Major H. T. Lee, and to avenge her
self she procured a small revolver. She
drew this weapon on Saturday against
the janitor of the building, whom she
also accused of prosecuting her. Recent
ly, too, she assaulted the Rev. Mr.. Coul-
ter, mistaking him for another man.
George c. Colgan. who was examined
the same day for insanity and discharged
was rearrested and brought before
Judge Van Dyke yesterday. He is suf-
fering from religious mania. but is most
irreigious in manner, among other
things preferring state of nudity to
being clothed In his ordinary garb. He
was ordered committed to Highland.
Tony Meyers also was brought before
Judge Van Dyke. He was found on San
Pedro street acting very wildly, but as
he confessed he had been drinking heav-
fly he was ordered to the county hospi-
tai for a couple Of weeks in order that his
case be watched.

WALLER" BILLS CASE.
The Jury Considers 1t an Hour, and
Fails to Reach a CONCLUSION.

William Williams, otherwise known
as "Yaller" Bill alias "Nadeau Bill"
was on trial yesterday in department
one, charged with having burglarized
the fruit and cigar stand of Mrs. Mar
cum, near the corner of Franklin and
Broadway.
Several of Bills chums, Hayseed, Mig
ger Bill and SNOWFALL. We're mentioned
by Officer LenhauSen as being connected
with the robbery, and the risibiltles of
the officers in court were tickled by the
aggre cation of curious names.
1t appeared that all the boys were found
in the rear of the Times office. feasting
upon fruit, and the defendant ran away
when the officer approached. The ex-
cuse he gave was that on a previous
occasion he had been inveigled to the
police station and then locked up. No
direct evidence connecting defendant
with the burglary was produced, beyond
the fact that some of the cigarettes, al
legged to have been those stolen, were
found in his possession. The defendant
claimed. however that he had returned
from Phoenix with an Italian newsboy
named McGinniss on the night of Sep
tember Sth and had gone to sleep with
the other boys in the rear of the Times
office, because. upon going to his home on
Ducommon street. his mother had
moved, and he couldn't then find out
where she had gone.
The jury was out over an hour and
failed to agree, and upon announcing the
improbability of any agreement being
reached they were discharged.

Court
"Dr." Allen Going to Appeal to the Supreme

Judge Shaw Reversed by the Supreme
Court-More Insane Patients-Yaller
Bilps Cigarettes-The Amateur
Detective in Court

A rather amusing case came up in
Judge York's department yesterday.
The plaintiff in the case of Dudley
Kavanaugh against w. johnson moved
the court to set aside the judgment pre-
viously rendered in his favor. the decree
and order of sale, and to cancel the sat
isfaction of the judgment and to allow
the plaintiff to amend his complaint. In
other words, the plaintiff. having been
granted all he asked for. came into court
desiring that the legal slate be rubbed
clean and he be permitted to amend his
original complaint and begin all over
again. The motion was denied and be-
hind these facts lies the story.
On January 10th last the defendant
entered into agreement with the plain
tiff to furnish certain materials and la
Dor for the plumbing work at new
house at 1872 Ingraham street. The con-
tract price for the work was $685. and the
plaintiff went on on this understanding
and completed the job by the 2Sd of the
same month. The plaintiffs account
was not settled and after exhausting his
patience in waiting he secured mechan-
suit to recover.
On May 14th plaintiff obtained judg-
ment by default for $93, costs and attor-
ney's fees. decree of foreclosure and
order of sale also being entered. Kav-
anaugh had won all along the line and
was presumably happy. On August 14th
the premises We're sold by the sheriff
and bid in by the plaintiff. Under or
dinary circumstances the matter would
have then ended, but 1t seemed that
Johnson knew more about that house on
Ingraham street than Kavanaugh did.
From the first the plaintiff had inferred
from Johnson's allusionS to my house"
that the property where the plumbing
was to be done was his own property.
Acting upon this suppositon, he prose-
cuted his suit and had the house sold
out by the sheriff. Then, and not till
then, he discovered that the property had
been recorded in the name of Johnson's S
son. In such case he had acquired no
title to 1t and his expenditure of legal
force had been in vain.
The motion yesterday having been de-
MED makes it incumbent upon Kavan-
augh to begin suit all over again

A HUMAN BRUTE
A Story Of Wifely Endurance Told to
Judge Shaw Yesterday

AS a general rule story lies behind
each and every divorce proceeding, but
it is seldom it is told in court. The case
of Mrs. S. Schryer against Herman c..
Schryer, an employe of the electric rail-
road company, was an exception to this
rule when it came up for trial before
Judge Shaw yesterday morning.
Mrs. Schryer states that she had been
married to the defendant in 1882 and that
she had had Ave children as fruit of the
union. About two years ago she became
very i'll, but her husband told her he
could not afford a nurse for her. She
went to DR.. Bunard and he ordered her
to go home to bed and told her that her
life was in danger, as she was very
sick woman. The doctor provided some
medicine, but the husband would not
have the prescription filled that the doc
tor left, telling her that he hoped she
would die ''this trip" After suffering
for about three weeks the doctor told her
he could do nothing more, that what she
then needed was careful nursing. The
husband refused to help her and. being
without resource she went to the coun-
ty hospital, he telling her to go off there
and die.
Mrs. Schryer was taken to the hospi-
tai and lay there for four months. On
one OCCASION it was thought she was dy-
ing and her husband was telephoned for
When he arrived he said to her: Are
you still alive? and told the hospital
people upon leaving not to send for him
again, as he couldn't afford to be running
over there all the time.
Despite these adverse circumstances,
Mrs. Schryer recovered and returned to
her home. Her husband was not pleased
and abused her repeatedly until, in Oc-
tober last, he threw her from off the
porch and kicked and choked her. He
ordered the grocery man not to give her
anything, but told him he might give
the children what they wanted to eat.
Corroborative evidence being forth
coming. Judge Shaw granted a decree,
Mrs. Schryer not asking the custody of
the children, as she is without means
with which to support them.

THE AMATEUR DETECTIVE
Who Peeped and Saw What Did No.
Take Place, If Accounts Are True.

The examination of Robert A. Taylor
charged with perjury committed during
the trial of the Smith divorce case in
Judge Van Dykes department, was
held yesterday in the township court.
The facts in connection with the al
legged perjury are In themselves simple.
Taylor testified during the Smith trial
that he saw the defendant, Mr.. Smith.
in the room of Miss May Anderson, al
the Gray Gables, and with lady seated
on his knee. This was all seen from the
outside the waving of the curtain back
and forth permitting, 80 1t was claimed.
so much to be seen. At the time that
testimony was given the defense in the
Smith trial proved that Miss Anderson
did not and had not at the time stated
occupied the room where it was alleged
Mr.. Smith had been seen with her. Fur
thefmore, that DIR. Wright, a dentist,
had occupied that particular room with
his wife.
These facts were again shown by the
prosecution yesterday and then the case
went over until today.
