\ very mysterious case OF the sudden
disr ppclrance of % trusted old colortd
gcrvant of Mrs. Christian. who restless
al 40. 81 west Grace street. is now ael-
tating the mind of ~ least one detective

house with some money, saying she was
going down near the Chesapeake ana

by whom she wished TO send some of the
money TO her relations. who lived up In
Hanover county.

what the woman had said. 10 WIS
taken for granted that she would soon
return. But she didn't. and Mrs. Chris
tan began TO grow uneasy. She waited
stIl longer and the old servant did not
return.
Since that day. inquiries have been
made everywhere. but mo trace Of the
woman had been discovered up 10 yes
terday afternoon.
An experienced detective has been put
on the case. and is making every effort
TO learn the wOman's whereabouts. IL IS

When the rheumatism first pre-empts
certain tracts OF your anatomy II may
be ousted easily, but when 1t becomes
an old settler it is pretty hard to bulge.
Remember this when you experience
the first twinges OF this obstinate and
agonizing disease, and attack 1t with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t will
then make tracks" and possibly leave
you unmOlested and in peaceable pos
session Of your own comfort in the fu-
ture. Perils always attend rheumatism,
III it become chronic, on account OF its
tendency to attack the heart Usually
it is complicated with kidney trouble.
Certain 1t is that the kidneys, when
aroused by the Bitters, will eliminate
impurities which give rise to rheuma-
tism and dropsy. In inclement or wet
conditions of the weather, the Bitters,
taken in advance, will often avert rheu-
matte trouble. Use this genial family
medicine for dyspepsia, biliousness,

such a strain men are scarcely respon-

combination of medicines that not only
completely restored the general health,
but enlarged his weak, enaciated parts

THE URGENT NEED OF A NATION
AL UNIVERSITY.

1t is not the needs of the District OF
Columbia which are to be met by a
University of the United States. The
local needs are well supplied already.
1t Is the need Of the nation. And not
of the nation alone, but of the world.
A great university in America would
be school for the study of civic free
dom. A great university at the capital
of the Republic would attract the free
minded of all the earth. 1t would
draw men of all lands to the study of
democracy. 1t would tend to make the
workings of democracy worthy of re-
spectful study. The New World has its
lessons as we'll Is the Old; and its ma
terial for teaching these lessons should
be made equally adequate. Mould and
ruin are not necessary TO a university;
nor are traditions and precedents es-
sential to its effectiveness. The great
est of Europe's universities is one of
her very youngest. Much of the great
ness of the University of Berlin is due
to her escape from the dead hands of
the past. 1t is in this respect that the
great promise Of the American univer-
sity lies.-President David Starr Jer-
dan, in the January Forum.
