Virginia FRITTER FOUND.
Missing Girl Finds Comfortable
Home With Supt. Lapham.

Through the efforts of The Times and
Mr.. John Howser, a ticket broker. Mt No.
631 PENNSYLVANIA avenue northwest, Vir-
ginia Fritter, the young girl who has
been missing since August 10, has been
found and the police and her father adj
vised OF her whereabouts.
On the day of her disappearance from
Mr.. Morton's home, at No. 1909 Massa
chusetts avenue, where she had been for
two weeks, Virginia, sad, homeless and
weary, wandered down TO Second and B
streets southwest, not knowing where she
was going 1t was the middle OF the after
noon when supt. Lanham, coming out
of his office, found the child setting on the
curbstone. He accosted her and by de-
grees learned her sad story and becam..
the good Samaritan, who took her in and
cared for her.
The child was shabbily dressed, and ear
ried in her hand cent piece and three
small bananas. she said she had been i'll
treated at Mr. Morton's home and com
PEELED To work too hard and during long
weary hours, so that she had finally de-
cided To leave and go elsewhere. she is
but fourteen years old and knows nothing
OF the city. Fortunately she fell in good
nands for Mr. Lanaam, moved to pity by
her story, took her TO his own home ut
lanham Station, Nd, and there pro-
yided her with new clothing and treated
her as he would his own daughter.
Virginia said she was going to write
to her father, but day after day she
neglected it, for it was a difficult task
for her to undertake. Mr.. Lanham had
heard no inquiry about the girl until seen
by Times reporter yesterday, and the
facts ascertained.
She is happy III her new home and
desired to remain, though no more so than
Mr.. Lanham, his wife and daughters are
TO have her, as they have become much
attached To the little stranger.
A Times reporter, who yesterday located
the girl, informed Detectives Gallagher and
Boardrnan, and Mr.. Fritter was communi-
Gated with in regard 70 his child.

A MATTER FOR THE COURTS.
Commissioned S Power ess tn Rescind
the Contagious Ward Contract.

the Contagious Ward Contract.
Commissioner Ross yesterday stated to a
Times reporter, speaking about the protests
entered against the placing of the isolatins
ward at Providence Hospital, that the mat
ter has now passed out of the Commission
ers' hands.
I'VE have already signed contract with
the sisters who have the direction OF
Providence Hospital" he said, and even
should We so desire, we could not rescind
our action. or cour Sc, we are sorry that
the site which we have chosen is not en-
tirely satisfactory to everyone, but tho
award was made only after mature de
liberation. and was whatwe considered the
best possible under cxi sting circumstances
As l have said, it would be impossible
for US to go back on our signed contract
without involving the District in posi-
bic wsuit so that it is utterly useless
for citizens to protest to us. The only
way TO obtain an abrogation of the agree
ment Is through the law courts.
tt is highly probable, indeed, that the
whole matter Will eventually be brought VI
before the courts. The local branches of
the American Protective Association Tho
are greatly opposed on sectarian grounds u
giving the ward to the hospital, claim that
the awards violation of the first d
nent to the Constitution, and viii make u
test of IL on that point.
The residents of the neighborhood also
threaten 60 bring suit against the District
for alleged damage done their properties
by the locating of the isolating ward. In
these suits also will probably be involved a
decision upon the legality Of the awar d
Altogether the matter promises very
warm fight In the near future.

COLD IN THE-HEAD

Is acute Inflammation and swelling of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ is long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 8. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it is called
CATARRH. Tho folds become swollen
into a solid mass, so the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss of smell. The Catarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcerc is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whole mucous surface of the nose, head
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonslls have
become corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves the whole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. 1t will be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.
BRAZILIAN BALM is the only known remedy
immature that will accomplish this result.

MAN STABBED TO DEATH.

Result of a Long Standing Feud.
On Wednesday the oath of December,
1896, Joseph Elswick killed William
Green near Midway, in this county, by

farm OF Green's father. William Green
was at gate on this road putting it in re-
pair, the gate having swagged. When
Elswick came to the gate Green told him
he could not pass through, and the men
became involved in an alteration. At
this time man by the name Of Lowe
came md Green permitted him to pass
the gate. When Lowe passed through
Elswick also rode through the gate. After
this Green told him he could whip him
and would whip him. Elswick then got
off his horse, and they began throwing
rocks at each other. Elswick was struck
lt,rice by rocks thrown by Green. The
l4ie1 then clinched in desperate struggle,
Green made an attempt to draw a pistol
and Eswick stabbed him, cutting him one
time in the heart. They were then sepa-
rated and Green walked about one hun
dred and fifty yards, over hill and out
Of sight of the place, where he fell dead.
He was not found for some time after his
