HOW TO find OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
a diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
ouent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kiuney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passa ges.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effect following use of liquor wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to ur-
nate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon realized.

Great Suffering Caused by the Flood in
Ohio and Kentucky.
CINCINNATI, Feb. "a The river con.
tinues o rise and the signal service OBJ
server here predicts 80 feet will be
reached. At Catlettsburg, KY, 100
houses are more or less submerged
and few more feet will affect every
business house in the city. Portions of
Maysville, KY, and much of Aber-
deem, o., are submerged, driving fam
dies from their homes. On the Big
Sandy river the villages of East Point
and Solyerville have been made unin-
habitable. 1t is reported that a family
of six were drowned at Solyerville.
Here at Cincinnati and vicinity the
towns of Dayton and Bellevue and por-

fering much inconvenience. Water in
Cincinnati has invaded the Central de-
pot and compelled the Big -Four and
other roads to seek higher grounds.

Adriatic Crew and Passengers Thankful
They Are Alive.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-During the
past S< hours, storm tossed steamers
arrived in port, bring startling tales of
narrow escapes from death. The 400
souls on the Adriatic, which arrived
from Liverpool, after the most tempest.
uous voyage in its career, are thanking
Providence the vessel did not turtle"
in midocean during the trip across. It
had q narrow escape from laundering
in a gale ON Wednesday last, when it's
cargo shifted and the engines became
deranged. It was the climax of six
days struggling with the elements.
The crew worked with desperation.
All available men were set to work
trimming cargo. When that was
nearly finished, the machinery became
unmanageable.
The destiny of the vessel was shifted
from the crew to the men in the chief
engineers department., and for six
hours, during which the Adriatic was
hove-to, its fate hung in the balance.
On Wednesday evening, while the
seas were yet making a mill run of the
decks, the machinery was repaired and
the vessel again shaped course for
this port.

Iron Mills at Pittsburg Under
Water and Thousands of
Employees Idle.
Estimated Loss In the Monon-
F., gahela Valley a Million
and a Half.

! PITTsBURa, Feb. 24.-The flood now
raging here will probably equal the
great flood of 1884, which measured
"a feet. It is impossible to estimate
the damage the present rise is doing,
but $500, 900 will be putting it mildly
to Pittsburg and Allegheny alone.
More than 10000 men have been made
idle by the rise, as many of the mills
are located ON the banks of the streams.
The water has invaded the heart of the
city and flooded cellars and stopped
traffic in many places, Snotably
Sixth and Market streets, popular
thoroughfares. A large part of
Allegheny has apparently been blotted
out and the Exposition park, where the
league ball games are played, has van
ished. Many people are made home
less along the banks of the Allegheny
river as the shore is specially low along
River avenue and Robinson streets,
Allegheny, and both thoroughfares are
thickly populated.
Beginning at Brownsville on the Mo-
nongahela river, California, Mononga-
hela City, Charterio, Port View, Nc
Keesport, Turtle Creek, Bessemer and
many smaller hamlets are inundated or
partially so causing much suffering.
The damage along the Monongahela
valley is estimated at not less than
81, 5OO,OOO. In McKeesport alone the
damage will exceed 100000. The
flood there rose to a. height th at broke

cars on Fifth avenue, the main thor

COLUMBIA BOWLERs BEATEN.
A Series of Games With the Catholic
Club of Baltimore,


A series of intercity ten-pin matches was
inauglrated in Baltimore Saturday night
The contesting teams were the Baltimore
Catholic Club and the Columbia Athletic
Club of this city, the match being played
on the Catholic Club alleys.
Last season a match was played between
the same clubs. the outcome of which
was somewhat peculiar, inasmuch as the
Baltimore players always won on their
own alleys and the c. A. c. always won
upon theirs. After twelve games, resulting
as above, it was decided to play a match
on neutral alleys, the Saengerbund alleys IN
this city being selected, that club having
generously rendered their use. Three
games were played, and the local team
was able to capture but one. The playing of
the seasons games between the two clubs
therefore, resulted in the Baltimoreans
having eight victories to the Columba's
seven.
The games Saturday were all won by the
Catholic Club, and the winged-arrow bowl

The Anti-SalOOn Problem,
Editor Of The Evening Star.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
If the Anti-Salcon League would put
forth efforts to suppress the saloon by an
enactment Of law to be enforced in this
city to remove all screens and blinds that
shelter and protect the patrons of the
saloon, there would be less intemperance
and the saloon would not thrive and grow
rich unto fullness as it now does. Why
should this branch of trade be screened
and shaded from the public eye?.
Let down the blinds and let every moth
er, wife and sweetheart look in and see
where their dear ones congregate; then,
when such reformation is enacted by law,
there will be fewer patrons Of the saloon
and the mothers and wives will be enabled
to reach out the hand to bring back the
wanderer, where they are now hidden and
screened in temptation and vice; and sweet
hearts may be saved from future pain by
ocular demonstration of habits that lead
up to sorrow and regret
Let down the blinds should be the cry
not have d son, husband or brother Let
them ask 1t for a better condition of NOR
ais and to save the young Let every Ole
of earnest thought ask and seek that this
all-important question Of forcing down the
blinds be accomplished and first done be-
fore the long and weary waiting for prohi-
bition is granted. Let 1t be done now, and
speedily. that those younger in the drink
habit may not be screened too long.

RECORD SMASHING GOES ON
Bicycle Race at Madison Square Garden a
Big Attraction.
The Hot Pace Causes a Number of
the Riders to Drop Out of
the Contest.

NEW YORK, December 6-When the
first streaks of dawn came through the
skylights Of Madison Square Garden today
the majority of the riders were still pedal
ing away on their long journey. Ranged
about the amphitheater, cheering the riders
on by spasmodic applause, were about 800
belated "cranks." These 300 were all that
was left of the thousands who had few
hours before seen the riders start on their
long journey.
When the early morning spectators ar
rived they found Miller, the Chicago fly
err" in the lead. But he was soon caught
and passed, and while this was going on
records were being broken with cheering
rapidity. The first to lap Miller's rear
wheel was Riviere, the French crack who
speed, took the lead. Waller kept close
after Riviere, and both these men broke
the records established by Hale in last
years race.
Five riders quit in the night. Fred Fos-
ter OF Brooklyn got bad spill and had to
retire. Titus gave way under the strain
and announced that he had had enough
Albert Busted and Cartwright next
dropped out. Fallon dropped out shortly
before 10 o'clock, and thus thirty were left
in the race.
The remaining competitors pursued their
task without any further accident with the
exception of a slight spill which fell to
Beacon, whose tire came off. He soon OBJ
tanned another wheel, however and was
working hard to make up for lost time
The score at 10 o'clock was as follows:
