If asked the question Have you go
a stomach?" it would be safe on gem
eral principles, to answer yes" But.
if you are sure of it, that is, if you ever
feel any distress after eating or any
pains of whatever description in the re
gion of the stomach, you have got some
thing more than an ordinary stomach;
in other words you have got diseased
stomach. The stomach is a powerful
muscle, and the remedy for tired
muscle is rest. Try the Shaker Digest
i've Cordial, for this product not only
contains digested food. which will
nourish the system without any work
on the part of the diseased organs, but
il aids the digestion of other foods as
well. You can test its valuo i'm your
case for the trifiing sum of 10 cents.

Sunday Rest.
To the Editor of The Evening Star.

10 the Editor Of The Evening Star.
l. as citizen, care nothing for the quar-
rels OF the Secular League with the clergy.
But do object very strongly to be aroused
on sunday morning, as 1 am, by the shout
ing of the newsboys. Have 1 no rights as
well as they, on the one morning T can
sleep late?
1t seems to me that the issue which the
boys are raising is a false one. No one
wants to stop their selling papers. Yet
all the speakers at the neeting on Thurs
day evening talked as If this was the only
question. We don't allow the butcher and
the baker to yell about the streets on Sun
day. Why should the newsboys demand
special privileges?
Moreover, the great cities of the world
allow no such nuisance. If the newsboys
OF New York should try It, there would
be great Indignation on the part of all
the citizens. Why should Washington, the
capital. retain these customs of a third
rate village? 1t belongs. to the era when
the pigs ran about the streets here, which
was not so long ago. We all remember
what commotion was raised when it was
proposed to restrict them. Many citizens
denourced the order an outrage. Yet
who now proposes to cancel IT.?
This is the case In nutshell If any
man can successfully answer these argu-
ments,. let him do so. But / do not fear
argument when l claim that 1 have some
man. These well-meaning friends of the
newsboys behind the times If the
Commissioners have any grit or backbone
they will stand by their order They are
supported by the vast majority of citizens

Death for Train Wreckers.

10 the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1 am glad to see that Gov Stone of Mis-
souri, Las recommended to the legislature
that the law shall provide for Furnishing
the wrecking and robbing of trains by the
infiction of the death penalty
The wrecking and robbing of trains Is
one of the most fiendish crimes that can be
imagined. No one but a human fiend would
attempt the destruction of a mass of cit
izens who never harmed him or his. These
nends stand in the same relation to the
pubic that beasts of prey do to the do
mesuc animals, and they should be exter-
minated on the same principle that We ex-
terminate beasts of prey.
Wretchcs who deliberately engage in
such practices have no right to life.
AS shown by the governor, it will not do
10 leave the grade of punishment to be de-
termined by the jury, for they invariably
ADOPT the lighter grade of Imprisonment,
ana Tor that reason the law should make
the death penalty in such cases impera tive
Moreover, If sent to prison. they are liable
to be pardoned out, to resume their fiendish
work.
1t has long been a wonder to me that
Congress has not taken action on this SUBJ
5ect, for it surely has as much right to
make a law for the protection of life and
personal property on all interstate roads as
it has to regulate freight on the same
We express great surprise that brlgand-
age is not suppressed in Greece and other
eastern countries and yet the robbing and
Wrecking Of trains far exceeds anything
done by the brigands and robbers abroad,
and up to the present time neither the
state nor the national authorities seem to
have done anything to prevent It,
Therefore, I say all honor to Gov Stone
Tor his effort in that direction hoping tha t
others, both state and national. will follow
MS lead. until citizens can travel in safety
throughout this otherwise glorious coun-

of the vestry Of st. Michaers and All

under the control of ST. Johns Church is
expected at meeting of the vestry OF

outcome will be that St. Johns Church

The Teaching of Dante.

The fifth in the series of lectures before
the First Baptist Church Literary Society
was delivered by DR.. Farquhar. who dealt
mcst interestingly with the theogony and
theology of Dante, as expressed particu-
lariy in the Divine Comedy, defending his
theories and illustrating by numerous quo
tations, which showed wonderfully re-
tentive memory. DIR. Farquhar divided
those who treat of Dante into two classes
those who think of him as belonging to the
year 1900, and those who think of him as
belonging to all time
In the opinion of the lecturer the funda-
mental characteristic of the Divine Comedy
is the fact that 1t is a system of nature,
and will endure in its universal truths as
long literature exists. The doctor COM
pared the Divine Comedy to Paradise Lost
and to the book of Job, showing both to
have been less universal in their scope
though similar in purpose. "The funda-
mental idea of the poem," said he 'is that
punishment is a reaction of spirit upon it.

1ngtOn Monument.

ingtOn Monument.
William wilkins is a tall, lank, raw-boned
country youth, with hayseed plentifully in
terspersed through his thick low-colored
hair. He wears cowhide boots and high
water, blue jean trousers His cutaway
coat Is of the vintage of II, apparently, and
the sleeves are not on speaking terms with
his hands. William is a native of Bay
City, Mich, and he recently journeyed to
the District of Columbia looking for work
He found trouble instead
William was Of a sudden precipitated to
the very bottom of the well of despair mere
ly because he mistook the Washington
monument, that tall shaft of granite erect
ed to the memory of the immortal George
for an autograph album. William, Satur-
day last visited the monument as do all
strangers to the capital. and. with rare skill
and energy, proceeded to beautify the base
Of the structure by carving on each of the
four sides. in letters foot in height the
historic name "Wfllyum.'' Special Police
man Jones, the watchman at the monument
rudely interrupted the artistic effort and in
consequence the young man from Bay City
was today arraigned in the Police Court on
an information setting forth that he broke
into and defaced the Washington monu-
ment."
His voice quivering with Indignation.
Special Policeman Jones described to Judge
hlmDall the bold effrontery of William.
He cut his name in FULL your honor" said
Jones. his eyes filing with tears at the
recollection, "and the letters were so high"
indicating the size with his hands.
He must think his name is of great in
terest and moment to the country" re-
marked his honor, in tones of astonishment
what have you to say, sir?'
The only time his name should appear
on a monument" interjected Prosecuting
Attorney Pugh. ''s after he is deceased"
William glared fiercely at the prosecuting
attorney and stated to the court that he is
a stranger in the city. and did not know he
was violating the law in carving his name
on the monument.
Are all strangers such simpletons as to
think the Washington monument was put
there, at great expense, merely to be de-
faced?' Judge kimball then said Il hope

sort of thing cannot be permitted. You will

William had put up s25 collateral. so he
started forth to face the world again with
- in his pocket and a conviction in his
mind that it is improbable to use the
Washington monument as the base for in
scriptions.

citation. The memorial begins:
'The following statement of facts is re-

way Company, the Belt Railway Company
and the Maryland and Washington Rail-

These companies, although Incorporated at

ceiver. The Maryland and Washington line
Is still IN course of construction. The Eek
ington and Belt lines are operated by horse
power, except portion of the former lying
outside of the city limits, which is operated
by the overhead trolley. These companies
nave persistently resisted the efforts of
congress to secure from them the installa-
ton of rapid transit equipment, and
they are at this time disregardine the ex-
pressed will of Congress by refusing to
comply with the terms of an act approved
