Wanted some Milk.

Jesse Page. a colored boy, who drives a
cart, started from home this morning be-
tween 4 and 5 o'clock to go to work, but
instead of going direct to his place Of en-
ployment he stopped on Florida avenue
with a friend long enough to get quart
jar of milk from front door. He had his
lunch with him, but no liquid with which
to wash 1t down. and had not a policeman
appeared at the wrong time for him, he
would have enjoyed the beverage at noon.
But jars Of milk had been missed from
several houses In that locality, and the
police had heard complaints about this
mean character of stealing, and SO Police
man Brown was on the lookout for those
who had been enjoying free milk. Both
Jesse and the milk were taken to the sta
ton, and later Judge Miller heard the case.
The policeman told Of the boys conduct
and the court imposed fine Of $40 or

COPYRIGHTED SYMPTOM TABLES.

Hosts of people suffer from the various malignant
poisons in their blood, which produce result from
catarrh. Many other persons suffer from nervous
diseases, liver diseases, kidney diseases and skin
diseases as the result of irritating crystal pOisons
in the blood. majority of such sufferers do not
have definite understanding of the of their
affection. The following symptoms arranged
by Doctor Mccoy in 1894 to enable sufferers to I'M

Reports Concerning the Chief Officers
of the h. Of l..
General Master Workman ]. R. Sovereign
and General Secretary-Treasurer John w.
Hayes of the Knights of Labor both of
whom were seen today by a Star reporter,
denied in forcible language a published
report that in consequence of a disagree
ment between the two, both will probably
withdraw from their offices during the
present month. Both declared that there
was absolutely no truth whatever in the
story. Mr. Hayes ndiculed the idea that
he wishes to step down and out of his own
Office as soon as Mr.. Sovereign's resignation
is accepted by the executive board and
his successor appointed. He also denied
the assertion that ne occupies good posi-
ton with gas company, to which he
wishes to devote his undivided attention
and leave the conduct of his department tn
other hands. He further said that there
vas no truth in report that he expressed
a wish to resign month ago, but had said
he would not do so before Sovereign's
resignation was rendered by the latter.
Mr. Sovereign also pronounced as absurd
the report that he had not been paid his
salary of 5000 year by Secretary-Treas-
urer Hayes, or that he has expressed him
self as heartily tired of posing in his pres
ent position. Mr.. Sovereign assured The
Star reporter that there are no members
or the executive board in Washington
olner imam tnose VINO spend most of their
time here-Messrs. Hayes, Martin and him
self-and that no meeting of the board has
been called or is contemplated.
So far as appears to any one on the out
side the relations existing between Messrs
Sovereign and Hayes are Of the most har-
monious character, and they seem to be on
terms OF most intimate friendship. They
returned together few days ago from a
business trip to Pttsburg, and when the
reporter left them at Headquarters TODAY
were engaged in friendly conversation on
the subject of the rumors which the re-
porter called to their attention
Mr.. H. B. Martin of the executive board
also said there WAS not particle of foun-
dation for the reports referred to-

lied citizen of the United States, has been
released on bail in the sum of 500, through
the efforts of his counsel. Martinez was
arrested in Cuba six weeks ago, charged
with reasonable correspondence, and at the

transferred to the civil jurisdiction for trial.
His release on small bail would indicate

The report in favor Of New Mexico was

Of Arizona was adopted yesterday. The
