An order has been issued by the War

W. L. Hall. VITO Until recently has been
stat oaed at rCst m AIiz6na, to succeed
Dr. 0'Reilly here. DR.. 0'Reilly is now
in Euloae with his invalid wife, and has
q leave OF absence of two months.
In naming Br. O'Rcily's successor, it
may appear later that the War Department
has rather evcrstepped the bounds of cour-
tesy Cue President-elect Mckinley. The
attending surgeon here is usually the White
House physician, and as Mrs. Mckinley
is n invalid, the new President may have
some preference Of physicians Or, at least,
be may tave some particular friend in
tire medical corps of the army whom he
desires to have n this very prominent and
responsible office.
During the first term OF President Cleye-
land. DIR. O'Reilly was promoted to the
rank of ma iUr, and was detailed as attend
ing surgeon in this city. Upon the retire
ment OF President Cleveland, DR.. @ Reilly
received d transfer.
Just before President Harrison went
out Of office the War Department again
ordered detail which proved unsatisfac-
tory 70 President Cleveland. The latter

Asnoraaus a Healthy Food.

A delightful vegetable is asparagus, ard
aside from its virtue as food, it plays
a anostimportant part as a medicine. Each
plant. vegetable, fruit, and, in fact, all
food we eat, has its special work to do
in the human system. In meat we obtain
the fibren and albumen for our blood aud
muscles From the fish we obtain that
pbosuhorous for our brain and nerve tissues;
from bread, potatoes, rice, etc, the starGhy
elements. which, in the system, are con-
verified into sugar. Cheese is constipadng;
dantieiion leaf salad is laxative; lettuce
from the small amount OF opium it contains
is soothing, and any one who has eaten as
paragus knows how distinctly and certain
it acts upon the kidneys. Nature herself
points TO this table delieaey as a true cure
for kidney troubles Whoever heard Of

Mr.. Joseph Nimmo, Jr., president of che
Zeta Psi Club of Washington. ID. c., last

COLLAPSE OF A STABLE.
Two Horses Were Entombed, But
Finally Released Unhurt.

Two Horses We're EntOmDeu, But
Finally Released Unhurt.
A large two-story frame stable, in an
alley in the rear of the Marine Barracks,
the loft Of which was overweighted with
about two tens of hay and feed, collapsed
last night. burying two heavy draught
horses under a mass of timber and hay.
The loft mad for some time sustained
heavy weight of hay and grain, but gave no
signs of weakening until last night.
Mr.. JohnG Lewis the owner ofthe stable,
had lust left the structure to retire for
the night wien he heard sound like the
discharge of artillery. Mr.. Lewis rushed TO
the stable and saw that it was but a mass
of debris. fallen to the ground, and had
buried two of his most valuable horses.
IL appears that the flooring of the loft
had wrenched loose from the south side
of the structure, and sagging in the middle
torne down by tn eweight of its heavy bur
leu had fallen to the lower floor, leaving
the outside walls intact.
Securing assistance, Mr.. Lewis tore
the Jagged timbers, and cleared away the
debris, discovering, with sa isfaction,
that the two entombed horses had es-
eaped without a scratch.
1t appears that the timbers in their
fall had been caught by the tops of the
sides of the two stalls, and caused the
debris to slide on one side. Mr.. Lewis
places the damage at about $50.

and think that we have rarely had any one
in this District who discharged the duties
OF police justice in such an exemplary man.

In consideration, then, of his former
connection with this court, and his stand

tered upon it's minutes that it adiourns in
honor of william c. Harper"
In reply, Judge Kimbali paid the follow
ing tribute TO Mr.. Harper:
while the sad death Of our colleague
was not une xpeCted-he has been i'll ever
since his accident year ago-his removal
from our midst, as in all cases where the
deceased can i'll be spared, comes too sud
den to enable US To bear it with equanim-
ity. With all tie encoBiUms pronounced
upon the deceased by Major Darlington
heartily agree Before the war, ere this
court was instituted, Judge Harper, in
the office of police justice, discharged it's
functions, and discharged them most adj
mirdbly He. was q man among men, and
it is weIl-beftttiDg that his memory should
be honored m this eouEt.

again came into his study, and asked him
how she could express bequest for two
people to hold equally. Mr.. Lambert told
her that a lawyer would express it equal
''moieties." She said she did not under
stand this, and wanted him to write it
down. He wrote it on slip of paper,
which she took away with her. Later she
asked the witness to tell Mr.. Darlington

the Senate.
THE ALLABACH PENSION VETO
An Effort Was Made in the House
70 Pass the Bill to Pension the
widow of the Late Chief OF the
Capitol Police, But a Two-thirds
Vote Was Not Obtained.

The single gold standard was discussed
tor Chandler.
The opening prayer today was offered
by Rev W. j. b. Brown, OF London. 1t
embraced the President-elect as well as
the President; and it asked that those who
desired a permanent peace between the
two great English speaking nations may
have their desire accomplished.

sas into two judicial districts-eastern and
wes6ern-was passed. Also House bin for
the loan If tents for the use of the G. A.
r. at the encampment at Buffalo this year.

row on the arbitration treaty, and that he
hoped then to get final action on il.
The judiciary Committee was discharged
from the further consideration of the
Senate bill TO amend the act repeating the
timber-culture laws. and the bill was laid
before the Senate.
Mr.. Chandler addressed the Senate
in support OF his resolution. offered On
February 2. declaring ft TO be the sense
OF the Senate that the United States
should not permanently acquiesee in the
single gold standard. He said that he
earnestly favored the resolution because
he was an advocate OF bimet;Ilism and an
opponent OF aonometallism, whether gold
or silver.
In support of Mr. Chandier's bimetallic
ideas, he quoted from the late Gen. Francis
A Walker. referring TO him as a soldier OF
zeal. bravery and renown; scnoiar learn
ed and profound, as well as brilliant; a
political economist OF the highest rank; a
patriotic citizen, and courteous gentle
man. His own convictions, Mr.. Chandler
added. that silver characterization was at
the bottom of the downward movement IN
prices. had caused him to doubt seriously
whether the era of restored prosperity
was near at hand. On the contrary, he
had come to the conclusion that prices had
not yet touched bottom.

veteran Of the Mexican war. who, in the
latter years Of his life, was chief OF the

Mr.. Loud, in antagonizing the proposed
passage of the bill over the veto, declared
his belief that it was futile to attempt
TO stop the House lin is mad career"
He asserted that the services Of the de-
ceased soldier were neither conspicuous
nor gallant
The vote resulted: Yeas, ll5; nays, 80;
