We IRE GRADUALLY GETTING
INTO THE SWIM.

Why? FIRST, because we have
an elegant line of wheels, with
All the up to date features, and
many not found on any other
wheel. SECOND, because our
prices and terms cannot fail to
please all. The "Kensington" is
easily KING among all others.
Far behind its worth come all
the praises we can bestow."
Like the "Slyph," it speaks for
itself.
A limited number of second
hand high grade wheels will be
taken in part payment for new
wheels.
Don't forget our repair
department. We can repair any
thing that can be repaired, and
do it intelligently.
No boy mechanics" in ours.
Wheels to rent by the hour, day
or month.

DIPHTHERIAON THE BORDER
Case of Unquarantined Disease Just
Across the District Line.
Failure to Provide Immediate Pro-
lection Because of Conflict or
Lack of Authority.

The people who use the Georgetown and
Tenleytown car line are much disturbed
over case Of ufEquarantined diphtheria
which is located just across the District
line, at the end of that street railway.
The head of the family is Frank Storty,
an Italian shopkeeper, and he has a family
Of six children. Saturday night one OF these
children died, and the father sent three of
the other children, who had not shown
signs of illness, TO friendsin the city. Sun
day night second child died, and now
the third at home is seriously ill.
The father and friends go back and forth
to and FROM the city continuously Friends
go out and sit up over light and ridein with
the school children in the morning. The
undertaken assistants have used the street
cars. Supt. Purdy, of tie Georgetown and
Tenleytown line, has been asked to keep
them off the cars, but he explained that he
had no power to 90 more tnan TO ask these
men 10 ride on tile platform.
Mfr. 7. II. Dodge, with u. H. Warner &
Co., entered a complaint yesterday to Dr.
Woodward, health officer. The health de-
partment has not the power To act. The
act for the prevention OF the spread OF
scarlet fever and diphtheria in the Dis
trict only restraints the person afflicted
with the disease from going out. There
are a few regulations, but no penalties.
The nurse and family may go out without
a change Of dress, bath, or a cleansing
of the hair; in fact, without any preventive
measures having been used.
But his case is not in the District, and
does not come under the supervision of the
health office Ii is in Maryland Just
across tie line, and the local health aU-
thorities assert ii is under the jurisdiction
of the Marine Hospital service, which has
charge of all interstate quarantine.
The MARINE Hospital surgeons claim that
they have nothing whatever to do with the
case, and between the two powers the dan
gerOus conditions VIII be allowed to con-
tinue unrcstrained, unless one or the other
offices discover wider executive power

DREYER'S BONDSMEN BUSY
Report on the Condition OF the
Illinois National Bank Ready.
Bondsmen's Attorneys Looking for
an Avenue OF Escape for Their
Clients.

Chicago. Jan. 5.-Receivcr MCKeon, of
the National Bank OF Illinois, expects to
have his preliminary report OF the banks
condition ready TO forward to the comp
troller tonight.
Until tie report has been passed upon
by his superior officer, Mr.. McKeon will
make none OF its details puhlic, or discuss
it in any way. From the thorough nature
of the Investigations that have been car
ried ON steadily since the failure, it is
practically certain however, that all of
the important transactions of the bank
and its officials, including the Hammond
matters. will be submitted ia detail. How
much of this viii be allowed to reach the
public remains for Mr.. Eckels to decide.

for the latter intend to make the most of
sit No showing of the S316,013 of West
Park bonds deposited by the park board
with Mr.. Dreyer, as treasurer, appeared
in the receivers report OF the condition of
the firm except under the head of deposits.
Under this head, Manager Dudley, for
the receivers, says the West Park is cred
tied with the full amount, but that the
board will have to prove in court that it
was a trust in Mr.. Dreyers hands before
he will take il out OF the account in Which
it now stands.
Attorney Noonan declares that whether
Mr Dreycr deposited the money in bank
or bought real estate with it, he is respon-
sibie for it as an officer OF the board, his
bondsmen are clearly liable, and in pursu-
ance OF Il resolution of the board, he should
make a formal demand on Messrs. Wash
buTne, Henrici and Schneider, his bonds
men, to make good the deficiency. The at
torneys for both sides will confer over the
tangle today.

GUARANTEE GOOD WHISKY.
Louisville DistiIIers say the Bot
Ting Bills in Consumers Interest.

Ting Bill Is in Consumers Interest.
Washington liquor dealers of ali classes
are interested in the 'bottling bill'' now
before the Senate, having already pa Ssed the
House. A hearing on it by the Committee
OH Finance win be held on Wednesday.
The bill provides that whisky distillers
ma Y bottletheirprpduct at the bssndedware-
house and put upon it their brand, with the
date of its bottling. 1t also makes pro-
vision To guarantee the consumer that the
brand and date are genuine. The measure
is opposed by considerable portion of the
trade. Ii is supposed it would have a ten
dency to pre- vent IDixing the finer grades OF
whisky with cheap goods and nigh wines.
Hon. Thomas H. Sherley, leading dis
tiller, OF Louisville KY, who was formerly
at the head of the State Democratic organ
ization, is here. and among others will be
heard by the committee in advocacy of the
bill He says no whisky is ever sold ex-
cept under the names of Kentucky, Penn
sylvania or Maryland distillers. But last
year the consumption of whisky amounted
to 100 ,OOo. 900 gallons, while the total
quantity produced in the states that make
whisky fit to drink was only about .000,-
600. 1t follows that some $4,000 600 gal
Ions of the Peoria goods. mere alcohol, was
in some way put upon the public as
beverage.
Mr.. Sherley thinks the bill is plainly
for the benefit of the public in securing
pure drink. and holds that every man not
interested Individually on the other side
ought to favorit He hopes to see it become
a law at this session.

Sam?'' friend remarked.
"0h, l have no business to drink coffee
anyhow, but / Cont care for chocolate or
tea, and do like coffee, although it raises
the old harry with my nervesaHd stomach"
Many a man fails in business because of
his physical inability TO Gtttrd 20 ii II0p
erly. When man wakes up and looks
squarely at himself and his affairs he will
break off those habits that weaken his
to1y and prevent him from pushing his
plans to a successful issue.
Tobacco and coffee Seem SO harmless that
a man feels they cannot hurt him seriously
and for that reason sticks to them day after
day until his nerves give out and long
period of nervous prustration sets in. While
a man is sick his business goes to-well,
experience shows that it Cont so right,
and that sick spell is a wonderfully cx
pensive investment.
Quit the poisonous habits, and nature will
slowly rebuild the broken system without
the use of medicines.
1t is not so hard to give over coffee when
one can have Postum, a beverage which
looks like the finest Mocha coffee, and
creams up with the golden brown of rich
Old Java. 1t is very nourishing and fatten-
ing, and has the pungent, piGuant taste de-
manded by the office drinker, at the same
time it can be used by children as well as
adults.
Nothing which nature furnishes is su-
per.or to the grains for making gray mat
ter in the brain and nerve centers. Postum,
the food drink, is made wholly and entirely
Of the grains. Itcantruly be said to make

cost is about one e-third. GrCcers sell it, or

The report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission has just been sent out lt rec
ommends that the business of the railroad
ticket broker, or "scalper,' be suppressed
by the enactment of Sufficient statute
The report says:
I'VE deem it a special duty TO call your
attention to the eperSistentsurvivai and con-
tinued increase OF the illegitimate bust
ness known as ticket brokerage or scalp
ing" So far from showing any signs OF
dimiHution. it appears to be steadily en-
larging in scope and volume. tits impossi-
bic to give any reliable estimate Of the
number OF persons who take advantage of
this means Of procuring unlawful transpor-
tation. but it is evident thata considerable
percentage OF railroad passenger travel
is accomplished through the medium OF
tickets bought at reduced rates OF So
called brokers.
Putting Ii Mildly.
"Inevery city and in many of the smaller
towns offices are to be found whose pro-
prietors sell railroad tickets TO very many
points at less than the published tariffs
The streets are placarded with alluring adj
vertisements, incoming and outgoing trav-
elers are openly solicited, while in hotels
and other public places, and not infre-
quently in regular railroad stations, the
runners and agents Of these clandesune
dealers invoke participation in transporta-
tion bargains, which upon their face-to
give them no harsher term-are an obvious
evasion of the law
The disregard Of law to which we thus
referred has apparently continued during
the current year and assumed still greater
and more serious proportions This illegiti-
mate traffic has become a positive scandal,
and decisive measures should be taken TO
put an end TO these Illegal transactions
The remedy for this evil is easily found.
A simple enactment would be sufficient,
in our judgment, to prevent these abuses
and effec;ually check this species of mis-
conduct We therefore recommend that it
be made penal offense for any person to
engage in the business Of selling interstate
passenger tickets unless he is an author
lied agent of the carrier, duly constituted
such by written appointment andthatevery
such person be required under appropriate
penalty to expose in his place OF business "a
certificate of his authority.
Counterfeit Tickets.
1--WE also call attention TO the fact that
extensive frauds upon the public are ac-
complished by the printing and sale OF
counterfeit tickets. IL has come TO our
knowledge that hundreds of innocent per
sons have been victimiZeG by the purchase
OF spurious tickets from those whose iden-
tity could not be clearly established after
the fraud was discovered. The actual
money loss thus resulting to msuspecting
travellers amounts to considerable sum,
while the distress and annoyance to which
innocent and often needy persons have
been subjected because they have been
induced to purchase these sham tickets can
be easier imagined than described. 1t is
a defect in the Federal statutes that the
counterfeiting Of railroad tickets is not
made criminal offense, and We earnest
ly recommend the correction Of this de-
feet by an appropriate enactment"
