John Minor Tried to Sleep With the

Johns home is in Barr's row, near Beu-

drear last light and the north wind cold and
biting he took numerous nips from the flask
the trouble with John was he took too many

sleepy. Notwithstanding the fact that the
temperature was low and the mercury eN-

he laid himself down on the road with only
the skies and n marrow chilling atmos-

The colored man was oblivious to all
things earthly when Policeman Greer
mounted on his horse, came jogging along
the road, with his great coat drawn I'D
about his face. He saw the rccumbent fig
ure by the roadside and tried to arouse
John, but his voice had been frozen within
him, and he was speechless and numb from
cold.
The bali frozen man was removed to a
nearby house, and 1t required much warmth
and the remainder OF the whisky to restore
him TO animation. He was unable TO go

DIED OBEYING HER FATHER
Henrietta WOrthingtOn Forced to
Leave the Couch Where She Lay.
Suspicion That She Had Been Ill
With Diphtheria VIII Cause the
Coroner to Investigate.

Coroner Hammett does not believe the
death of Henrietta worthington, the young
colored girl whose body was placed in the
morgue last night by his direction, is at.
tributable TO diphtheria.
The coroner will make an investigation
this afternoon, but it will be particularly
because OF the suddenncss of the death.
He said today that his information is
that the child became i'll at about o'clock
and died within an hour, and the proba-
heart trouble.
"Diphtheria," he said, docs not kill
in an hour after 1t Develops
Nevertheless, the coroner will investi-
gate upon all lines required, keeping in
view the suspicion as TO the presence of the
diphtheria element, and will make report
some time this afternoon.
1t is quite probable that the health de-
partment officials will make inquiry in the
neighborhood from which the Worthing-
ton child came, to ascertain IL there have
been any diphtheuretic cases there. They
have no record OF any in Herbert court
but the Braxton child, concerning whose
burial Undertaken winslow got into court,
was taken from Bland alley near by.
1t is not improbable, in view OF the
manifest purpose upon the part Of many
parents to AVOID publicity, that the dis
ease may have been comm unicated to
others, provided the Braxton child's death
was due to diphtheria. This, of course.
was not determined, the interment taking
place in advance of notification of Illness
or deccasc.
The Worthington child died last even
ing at her home in Herbert court, a
short. narrow street between Thrill and
Fourth streets northwest. The death &C.
Cured about 8 o'clock, the case having
no medical attention. The police We're
notified an hour previously that the girl
was in n suffering condition, when Freed
mans Hospital was applied to for relief,
the suspicion being expressed that it
was a case of diphtheria.
DIR. warfeld, of the hospital surgical
department, replied by telephone that he
could not attend the case, and the physician
to the poor was summoned, but before
he arrived the child died, and Coroner
Hammett directed that the body be con-
veyed to the Inorgue.
The story told by those who occupy
the tenement Jointly with the Worthing,
ton family is that the mother of the child
is dead, and that the father and the daugh-
ter, now dead. have been for several
months occupied an upper room in the
house.
They also say that WOrthington reached
home before the death occurred. and that
lie required the child to leave the couch
where she was lying when he came in, and
that the effort doubtless fastened the fatal
termination, since the girl died while walk
ing across the floor.
Should the result of the examination show
that the child died of diphtheria, the
health officer will Immediately quaran
tine the premises and keep the neighbor-
hood under observation to discover if other
cases develop.

THE GREAT HUXLEY.
What Huxley, the Great English
Scientist. Considered the Best
Start In Life.

The great English scientist, Huxley, said
the best start in life is a sound stomach.
Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly,
because they lack the proper quantity Of
digestive acids Qactic and hydrochloric)
and peptogenic products; the most sensible
remedy in all cases OF indi gestion, lis to lake
after each meal, one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. because they supply in
a pleasant, harmless form all the clements
that weak stoinachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer OF the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, bright eye and clear com
piexion, because all these result only fiom
wholesome food well digested,
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets at so cents full sized package.

FAILED TO DO HIS DUTY.
Commonwealth's Attorney johnson
Called to Order.
(From the Alexandria Times.

(From the Alexandria TimeS.)
The reports given out in the Washington
papers yesterday OF the farcical proceed
ings in Judge" Brch's court. can have no
other effect than an advertisement Of the
administration of our laws for ridicule.
1t is, indeed, lamentabie condition OF
affairs, to say the least OF it. and that it
will continue to exist so long rs the present
authorities are in power, there is not the
slightest room in the world to doubt.
If the commonwealth's attorney OF the
county is liable to do his duty he has
either from lack OF inclination, or some
other potent cause, failed utterly so far to
do it: and if he has been treated with con-
tempt he has brought it all oil himself by
ncglecting his duty as a sworn officer Of
the law, if he really is, as he says, capable
of performing the functions of his office,
we know of no field in Virginia that offers
such fruitful opportunity as this county:
his refusal OF the assistance rendered him
will not tend to induce those familiar with
the past conduct OF the office in the bclief
that he is really sincere and in earnest.
Nothing VIII till he comes out from un
der cover and presents hold front to these
defiers Of our law and menace TO public
morals.

STOPPING A SHIP.
Time and Distance 1t Takes to
Arrest Vessels Motion.

The motion OF a steamship on
the Atlantic, when the sea is calm,
is so smooth and steady that the
passenger hardly realizes the ire
mendous momentum of the vessel
under his feet. After the engines
have been slowed down there is a
startling revelation of the energy
OF motion. This energy can also
be accurately calculated with the
aid of mathematical formulas, and
the time and distance within
which the motion can be totally
arrested, and the ship.be brought
TO stand, may be ascertained in
similar manner. This calculation
has recently been made for several
well-known ships.
To stop the Etruria, whose dis
placement" is $3.50 tons, horse
power 1881, and speed 20.1S
knots an hour, two minutes and
forty seven seconds are required.
and during the process of stop
ping, the ship will forge ahead
2464 feet, which is only 176 feet
less than half mile. The United
States cruiser Columbia, with a
OF 1850 tons, 1891
horsepower and speed of 22.S
knots, can be stopped in two min
utes and fifteen seconds. and with
in space of 2147 feet. The little
flyer Cushing, also of the United
States navy, whose displacement is
only los tons, and horsepower
1854, while its speed is 22.4S knots,
can be stopped within distance of
301 feet in 1874 seconds. In each
case the vessel is supposed to be
going at full speed, and the stop
page is produced by reversing the
action of the propelling machinery.
