Hon. c. w. Ashcom, who had been smok-
ing for sixty years, tried No7To-Bac ana
il cured him.
Col. Samuel Stoutener, who would eat
up tobacco like a COW eats hay, tried this
wonderful remedy, and even Samuel, after
all his years OF slavery, lost the desire.
j. c. Cobler, Lessing Evans, Frank Dell,
Geo. B. May, c. o. Skillington, Hanson
Robinett, Frank HerShbergcr, John Shinn,
and Others have since tried -Bac, and
in every case they report, not only a cure
of the tobacco habit, but wonderful i'm
provement in their general physical and
mental condition, all of which goes to
show that the use of tobacco had been
injurious to them in more ways than one.
All of the above gentlemen are so well
plea Sed with the results that we do not
hesitate to Join them in recommending it
to suffering humanity, as we have thor
ouShly Investigated and are satisfied that
No-To-Bac does the work well and is
boon TO mankind.
The cost is trifling, and three boxes are
guaranteed to cure any case, or money
refunded. One box in every instance stated
above effected a cure, with one or two
exceptions. No-To-Bac has a wonderful
sale upon its merits alone. and can be
secured at almost any drug store in this
country or Canada. 1t is made by the
Sterling Remedy Co., Chicago, Montreal
or New York. Our readers are warned
against purchasing limitations, as there
get No-To-Bac. Then you're all right.

CONSTRUCTION HOARD MEETS.
Many Changes in Vessels Building
Decided UDon

OSSioCN y poi'
An important meeting OF the naval board
on construction was held yesterday, and as
aresultseveral Recommendations for changes
in warships viii be sent to Secretary Her
be rt.
A request from the Cramp Company of
Philadelphia that they be allowed eighteen
months and twelve months extension of
time for the completion of the battleshp
Iowa and the armored cruiser Brooklyn,
was laid before the board.
The board decided to recommend to the
Secretary that the request be granted
The board also decided to recommend that
the forward compartment of the battleships
Massachusetts and Oregon should be divided
into an upper and a lower section so that
in the event the lower becomes filled with
water the upper compartment will be secure.
The plans for the reconstruction of the
cruiser Chicago were laid before the board.
They propose to increase the deck protec-
tion over the bows and clear to the stern
thus giving the vessel a protective deck,
and to change her spar plan so as to take
away all her heavy top hamper These
plans We're approved and it was also decided
TO replace the present armament with
fourteen five-inch rapid fire guns. recon-
mendatloD was also agreed to that the
horse pow er o the vessel should be increased
from 5000 to 5000, thus giving an increase
of speed of from fifteen to eighteen knots
an hour, and also providing space for
800 tons of coal additional.

VAN RISwICK ESTATE.
Martina Carr Begins Suits Against
Various Heirs.

AS a sequel to the suits that have already
been instituted in two courts by the heirs
of the late Mary Van Riswick, Martina Carr,
herdaughteT, oughtsuitagainst Tallmadse
Lamberts children yesterday for ejectment.
The defendants are the children of Mrs.
Carr's sister, Mrs. Lambert.
Maud C. Lambert is alleged by her aunt
to be in illegal possession OF lot 40, square
203, on V street, and OF lot 10, square 81,
on street, both of whchplaces the plaintiff
claims TO own. 1t is also sought to recover
the sum of ST 900 for rent On the property
from March L.
Mrs. Carr asks that Milton j. Lambert be
ousted from the property he now claims to
own on Brookville Road, known as part of
Girls Portion. His aunt wants $4,000 as
rent money from him.
The last suit is against Mildred b. Lam
bert, who is alleged to be an unlawful
occupant of sublot 80, square 203, on V
street, and part of lot 10, square 191, on
street. Rents amounting to 1000 ars

between Georgetown ana the Murray Hills
! of New York, stump Reardon, then a
substitute on the team. and who was playing
right field that day, cracked out the first
home of the season.
STUMP" DOES IT AGAIN.
Yesterday, in the seventh inning, he drove
the Spalding TO deep left for four bases
and has the honor for second time
stump has been pulled In from the
outfield and now covers short He ac-
cepted every chance yesterday and his
throwing was speedy and true.
Mclaughlin, the new third baseman, made
an error on his only chance, but il was
cxcusable as the BAH stuck in the mud and
he had TO dig it out. lie led with the stick,
however, making four hits, one of them n
pretty double.
Lamb, the new right fielder, evidenced
his worth as a run-GetteT by crossing the
rubber with four scores. He handled his
only fielding chance nicely and made two
runs.
Tracey, who pitched the first six innings
OF the game, has crop of hair that equals
in the paleness of it's color the shock worn
by Whitley Schoenhut, the famous Penn
sylvania first baseman. The hair seemed
To dazzle the eyes OF the Gallaudet batters,
and Tracey had no trouble in disposing fof
them about as he pleased.
LAMBERT SAVED A RUN.
Lambert pitched the last two innings, and
it was owing to his good work that the
Kendall Greene boys were unable to score.
In the eighth inning after one man was
out a Gallaudet runner worked around to
third base.
The next batter had been known to hit
the ball in his career and any kind Of
scratch would result in score. But
Lambert used good judgment, and by alter
mating Il high and low ball he struck the
batter out. The next man was served the
same way. and the danger OF a run 10 mar
a shutout was past.
Equally as fortunate in picking pitchers
this year were the Georgetown S in selecting
a catcher. Young Maloney handled himself
like a veteran and can throw to second
like shot. His work behind the bat yes
tcrda wa swithoutcr error, andinthe fEsilade
of hitting he credited himself with a Leau-
tiful thrce-baggcr.
Fleming, who succeeds Capt. Eddie Ma
honey at second base, realizes that lie has
a hard job on his hands, but he attends
TO everything that comes into his territory
in manner that indicates that he will
measure up to the high standard in due time.
