CHILDREN'S INTUITION.
Their Opportunities for Obtaining a
Clear Insight Into Character.

Instinct goes a very little way without
experience. As a rule, children are wholly
unreasonable in their likes and diSlikes.
Their minds are easily deceived, their
judgments, such as they are, based nat
urally on insufficient grounds. Putting
the question of intuition, however, ON one
side altogether, it is obvious that chill
dren often have special opportunities for
making their observations. Grnwn-up
people do not have the same openings
for gaining an insight into a strangers
true character. A great deal is revealed
in the treatment of children that is con-
cealed in intercourse with older people. A
man or a womau's nature is then shown
in its true light. 1t need hardly be pointed
out that even the most cautious people are
sometimes betrayed into being unguarded
in the presence OF the young. The little
ones minds are ready enough to embrace
a new impression. Nothing escapes them.
Even then, however, their conclusions are
as likely as not incorrect. Sometimes they
are not deceived. On these occasions they
say what other people only think.

DR.. SHADES CHLORIDUM
Discovery for Consumption Pro-
duc:ng Permanent Cures.
WELL-KNOWN PEOPLE CURED

The most important ne ws to be given as
atruth thatno man dare gainsay is thatDr.
shade, 1882 Fourteenth street, this city,
has cured more complicated lung and throat
diseases than all the physicians in this
country combined. Twenty deaths result
ing from consumption were reported for
Washington city lOr last neutrality-suspicious.
not one was DR.. Shades patient. Who treat
the great majority OF lung trouble cases?
The answer is very easy indeed. Is it not
the physicians who deceive their patients
and gently lead them to the verge OF the
grave before they advise their friends to
send them away. hoping that by chance or
Ill some mysterious way they may he cured,
when they know in their hearts that they
are sending these conSumptives away from
the only hope held out to the consumptve,
whichis DR.. Shades chloridum discovery for
consumption? Prejudice, envy, jealousy OF
ignorance Is the cause. Let the people read
the Truth and then investigate to prove the
same, that DR.. Shade has cured quite a num-
ber OF persons who were given up by their
phySlclanS us hopeless conSumptiyes right
here III Washington city us far back as
three and four years ago. are living
witnesses today to having been saved from
premature graves under the skill of DR..
Shades treatment. Also very many-pos-
silly one hundred or more-who have been
cured were in the incipent stages OF con-
sumption. as well as many others who were
cured Of catarrh or complicated throat and
lung trouble. But one or two persons W no
were cured of consumption tH o and three
years ago Will lie given weekly, so those
who wish TO investigate can do SO. The
following names and addresses have al
ready been published, but the fact that they
are still in the enjoyment of health is in
deed worthy of note and of the greatest
significance, when it is taken into con-
sidcration that several years ago they were
pronounced hopeless consumptives by Wash
ington physicians:
Mrs. Lizzie Bender, 1882 9Th st. W..
was given up a hopeless Consumptive over
three years ago. She had been sick for
five years and unable to go out any more,
when DR.. Shade was called to see her.
Mrs. Bender weighed ninety pounds at that
time: was given up by seven physicians
representing both old schools OF medicine,
allopatby and homeopathy, who teach that
consumption is inCurable. Mrs. Bender has
enjoyed good health for three years aud
weighs 30 pounds. Mrs. Bender is willing
to be intervie wed at her residence above
given.
DR.. Patterson, 62 II ST. me-. is another
case that has been published, but the fact
that this case is physician who practiced
his profession for eighteen years, and is
a man of experience, is sufficient reason

Wednesday evening, Mt the Labor Bureau
headquarters, delegates from the Car
panters Council reported that the coun-
ell had disbanded. This action had been
brought about from tile notice sent by
Union No. | TO the council three weeks
ago notifying that body that the union
could not consistently remain in an or
ganizatiou that would allow one OF its
subordinate locals To discriminate against
another local holding the same card and
supposed to have equal rights. The coun-
ell originally consisted OF four organiZa-
tiOns viz: Carpenters 4 Assembly, No II -,
X. OF L.; Union No. /, Amalgairated So
ciety OF Carpenters, aud Union No. lSO.
The Carpenters Assembly, feeling ggrieved
over the Inconsistent methods of some of
the organizations affiliated with the coun-
Gil withdrew its delegation some time ago.
Union No. l took the same action soon
after the commencement of the trouble
with the brewers, but decided to hold up
the notice, with the hope that the other
organizations in the council would recede
from what No. / believed to be a very
false position. This result not taking
place, the union had decided to send the
notice, which had the expected effect OF
disbanding the council.

await the reports of the subcommittee as
