The Best Remedy for rheumatism.

From the Fairhayen IN. " Register.
Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his wife
has been sufferer from rheumatism. A
few nights ago she was in such pain that
she was nearly crazy. She sent Mr..
Rowland for the doctor, but he had read
of Chamberlain Pain Balm and instead
of going for the physician he went to the
store and secured bottle of it. His wife
did not approve of Mr.. Rowland's pur-
chase at first, but nevertheless applied
the Balm thoroughly and in an hours
time was able to go to sleep. She now
applies it whenever she feels an ache or a
pain and finds that it always gives relief.
He says that no medicine which she had
used ever did her as much good. The

A New Charge in the Northeast
Bank Failure.
A Proposition Was Made Last Night
to Prosecute the Directors
for EInbezzlement,

A meeting of those who had money on
deposit with the defunct Northeastern
Savings and Deposit Bank was held last
night at No. 107 G street northwest to
take steps looking to the prosecution Of
tile directors of the institution upon tie
charge OF embezzlement. owing to the
limited notice given there was but a
small attendance, but those who were
present were outspoken in the demand for
immediate action, either to compel the
restitution OF their money or punish those
responsible for the loss.
1t was represented by Mr.. NJ. a Quinn
and MI a. c. Tansley that when the bank
opened its doors III September, 1895, at
the corner of Second and Ii streets north
west, 1t announced its paid up capital to
bc $50, 600, when, as matter of TACT,
it was then insolyent practically, having
but 1915 as its reserve fund. The bank
continued in business about three months,

The depostors have grown weary Of
the delay. They say the money was OBJ
tanned from them by false represent atioBs,
and they propose to seek justice by the
most direct plan that presents itself. 1t

widow named Patton, placed $500 in the

MR.BRYAN'S OLD DESK CHAIR
At His Sisters Request 1t Has Beer
Given Her.
He Had Occupied 1t In the Post
office Department for Over
..
Thirty Years.

The Postmaster General has affixed his
signature to a document that will at once
add to the archives of the Postoffice De-
partment and afford the relatives sRd
friends of the late Richard T. Bryan un-
qualified satisfaction. The paperin ques-
tion is in the nature of request to the
department for the chair formerly occupied
by Mr.. Bryan as a clerk i'll the finance
division. The request was preferred by
Miss Carrie Z. Bryan, a sister of the de-
ceased, who lives at his late residence No.
14l6 Sixth street northwest, and was
the result of the discovery of Il note found
attached To his chair on the 9th inst, when
Mr. Bryan died The note was as fol- lows:
Il found tnis chair AT my desk. October
/, 1864, more than thrty-one years ago,
and have used it ever since. Broken sey-
eral times, l had il repaired, and on the
last occasion purchased iron rods TO
strengthen it Having paid out of my
own pocket more than its value | think |
have some claim to it, and respectfully ask
that it be sent to my house in case OF my
death, r. Z. Bryan
/ he CHAR, Ia Iilt opinion bi MI. MaIlSDn
Davis, chief clerk to the Third Assistant
Postmaster General, to whom the matter
was referred, belonged to MIR. Bryan, ny
virtue of the following reasons: First. bis
attachment to the chair was genuine, and,
second. the chair was probably the cnlS
thing in the office left to show his long
service-a service that in resulting advan-
tages to the government was far out Of pro-
portion h. the ecompcnsaton he received, and
his family looked forward with affection
ate cagerness TO the possession Of the bat
tered memento, regarding it as somethin 6
| OF priceless worth.
In view of the foregining considerations,
| Mr.. Davis suggested that the Postmaster
! General be requested, if, in his Judgment,
| there were no impropriety III the matter,
| to have the chair delivered to Mr.. Bryan s
| sister When the matter was brought tC
| the attention OF Postmaster General vii
| son he at once indorsed the request in the
following terms:
The above request Will be granted. II
there be any value to the chair 10 the de
| partment, the Postmaster General will
cheerfullypayforit. WM. l.. WILSON,
The chair will accordingly be sent 10 Miss
| Bryan today. Mr.. BRYAN had for quar-
ter Of a century received an annual salary
OF 81 600, and, having been of frugal anC
| economical habits, left considerable prop
erty, including his late residence, No. 141(
| Sixth street northwest, and other valuabl
! interests.

THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.
The Coinage Committee VIII Vote
on the Bill Saturday.

The House Committee on Coinage, Weights
and Measures has agreed TO take a vote
on Saturday next on the Senate bill pro-
viding for the appointment of United States
delegates to an International monetary
conference. Further arguments will be
heard before the vote IS taken.
In the course of the hearing yesterday
Representative Quigg opposed the propo-
sition of a monetary conference. Presi-
dent-elect Mckinle y, he said, probably
had a policy of his own, and he should
not be handicapped by the passage OF a
measure of this kind. II was a measure
which had been passed by the Senate,
a body which had rejected every Republi-
can measure sent to it this Congress. The
proceedings OF such a conference might
disturb business again and hinder the
new tariff bill in restoring prosperity.
