Mr.. Charles Stewart, of Baltimore,
died yesterday in that place at the
advanced age of ninety-three years.
He had the distinction of driving the
first car over the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad in 1880 when that road was
completed to Ellicott City, and before
steam power was used on that line.
He was in the B. & o. employ for
forty years, and retired about fifteen
years ago.

Arbuckle Bros. reduced the price
of "Ariosa" coffee wholesale in New
York last week to ten cents pound
net to meet the Woolson Spice Com
pany's cut on Lion brand to ten
cents. There is little profit in coffee
at these prices, the only purpose of
the contending companies being to
tire each other out, while coffee pur-
chasers reap the benefit.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;
sediment or settling indicates an UNI
healthy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.

Mrs. Julia Irwin, aged fifty two
years, of Louisville, KY, and whose
fortune is estimated at $500, 900, last
week gave Will Botto, aged q years,
$25, 900 to marry her, and he is now
in New York on a bridal trip by him
self. He left his bride in Louisville
and she seemed well content, giving
him 81 900 in cash for incidental ex-
penses and telegraphing to her bankers
in New York that he could draw on
her account for $1,000 more during
the trip. Mrs. Botto is handsome and
we'll preserved, and formed the ac-
quaintance of young Botto about four
years ago. She fell very much in love
with him but he loved Cincinnati
girl and secretly married her. When
Mrs. Irwin heard of the marriage of
her young lover she became very an
cry, and there is said to have been
scene. The young man afterward pro-
cured a divorce. Mrs. Botto belongs
to one of the best known families in
the South. Her young husband is the
only son of Col. John Botto, leading
business man.

THIS civil-service bill is becoming
absolutely unbearable. The hearts OF
the faithful are almost broken by its
latest development in West Virginia,
where Judge Jackson has issued a
mandate compelling U. S. Marshal
Thompson to reappoint the old set Of
deputy marshals, all of whom are
Democrats and protected by the civil
service law. And here's Congress fool
ing away its time over tariff bill, in
stead of sweeping the whole civil SER
vice system from the statute-books

THE Hon. N. B. Scott, of West vir-

THE Hon. N. B. Scott, of West Vir-
GINA, has placed himself on record as
being very silly man. In an inter-
view in New York the other day, re-
ferring to the great strike Of the coal
miners in the United States, he said:
"There is no doubt that the Demo-
cratic leaders instigated the strike.
The idea is to cut off the supply of
coal and thus to paralyze industry.
This will be attributed to the Repub-
lican party, and Senator Hanna will
be held up as an oppressor of labor.
We think this is the most absurd
political statement of the year. The
Democratic leaders have suddenly be-
come all powerful if they can at will
call from their work 100000 men.
These leaders could scarcely bring
about a strike unless they were inter-
ested in coal mining, and if they have
interests in this line it is not likely
they would paralyze their own bust
ness, even for politics. Mr.. Scott must
indeed be hard up for material when
he makes such a feeble attempt at
political argument. Anyhow, if what
he charges were true, it would be most
unbecoming for him to speak about it,
for the country has not forgotten the
manner in which the workingmen were
coerced and bulldozed and deceived
and defrauded by Mr., Scott and his
colleagues last fall.
