CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the
bladder, was created for one purpose,
and if not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except
in rare cases. 1t is situated back of
and very close to the bladder, there
fore any pain, disease or inconveni-
ence manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
easily avoided. To find out correctly,
set your urine aside for twenty four
hours; sediment or settling indi-
Gates kidney or bladder trouble. The
mild and the extraordinary effect OF

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one OF
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.

seated on the sofa, and, as he supposed,
in playfulness. did not rise to meet

said nothing, and added that she had
just come in herself and had been visit
ing her mother in Brooklyn.
They chatted a few minutes then
Hennessy said he would go out for
walk and come back at dinner time.
She protested. but as he intended to be
gone only few minutes Hennessy rose
to go. She called 90 him as he reached
the door and he looked back to see her
raise to her lips a phial she had been
holding behind her.
Frightened, he started toward her.

FIGHTING HARD.
Miller and Waller viii Make a Close
Finish in Big Race.

tween. the two leaders. Miller the Chi
cago man and last years champion.

ton. Miller was the strong favorite for
hrst place but at . o'clock this morning
only - miles separated the leaders.
The IL hours that still remains for
the race afford small opportunity for
the tail enders TO pick up, and, barring
accident the first prize OF $500 will go
10 Miller or Waller. The race has now
developed into contest of physical en-
durance between these two.
out of the 81 starters only IL re-
mained in the race this morning. OF
the 10 men who tailed behind Waller
and Miller, Pierce maintained an easy
lead for third place. though the Cana
dian seemed 70 have small chance for
better honors unless a serious spill or
physical breakdown wrests the coveted
honors from the present leaders.

o'clock was practically out Of the race.

Hale, the popular lrishman, had no
prospect of getting "a place, but rode
steadily SO as to- bring his score up TO
the 1900 mile mark.
Waller during the early morning
made frequent sprints drawing Miller
out i'm good shape. Last year Miller

he was able to take long rest. Today

TRANSFER OF PROPERTY.
Considerable Red Tape Involved in the Process al
The Providence Custom House.

The officials of the Providence Gus
tom House are actively preparing to
make the transfer of the Post Office
and Appraisers stores buildings to the
newly appointed custodian of federal
property. Hon. Ellery II. Wilson. In
this work. the government makes it inn
perative that everything, even to that
of the very smallest value, shall be ac-
counted for. and consequently that is
a mass Of official red-tape which seems
utterly unnecessary to the ordinary
business man.
Not even an old or utterly worthless
broom can be discarded until a series
of letters have ben exchanged between
the treasury department and the local
officials, and finally when the secretary
Of the treasury has given his consent
the old broom may be consigned TO the
ash barrel, but not before. IL requires
% large blanks to describe the various
articles in the two buildings, and the
covers the smallest articles.

Many Witnesses viii Have TO Be Sum.
moned and a Great Deal of'Work Done.
ATTORNEY GARDNER MAKES REPLY.
COnisndsd There is Nothing in Case Out Of The
Ordinary, and That Respondent Should Not Be
Required 10 Pay Excessive Fees.

There was another long controversy
| over Che divorce matter I'm which
former Milk Inspector Potter and his
wife Sara Il. Potter. are the principals.
in the Appellate Court today. The
questions particularly considered today
We're the amount of allowance for coun-
sci fees and witness fees. Judge Rogers
held the matter for advisement at the
close of the hearing.
Albert II. Greene, OF counsel for Mrs.
Potter. said that Mr.. Potter was the
owner of $4,000 worth OF productive
real estate, and there would be a large
number OF witnesses required, and the
case was one that had involved a great
deal of work and attention on the part
Of counsel. Witnesses would have to
be summoned from Rutland, Mass,
from Newport and this city. Mr.
Greene thought 800 would be a very
fair allowance for witness fees. and as
To the matter OF counsel fees, for him
self and Gen Wilson, he was willing to
leave that matter 10 the court.
Judge Rogers protested that he was
loathe 10 say what value counsel might
place on their services Mr.. Greene
tried hard TO show in pleasant man
ner the ability OF the court 10 fix coun-
sci compensation. Judge Rogers could
not be convinced. and after saying
something more about the amount OF
work counsel had already done and
must do i'm the case for their client, Mr..
Greene asked the court TO fix the coun-
sci fees Mr.. Potter would have to pay
for his wife at $3.50 Mr.. Greene said
the case could not be tried in day.
Rathbone Gardner counsel for MIR.
Potter said he knew nothing i'm this
case that would differentiate it from
other divorce cases, though counsel on
the other side seemed TO have an over
wearing idea of it's Importance. The
proceedings had simply been begun
against Mr.. Potter for divorce on the
grounds of extreme cruelty. Mr.. Gard
ner did not see why the case could not
be tried in an hour. nor did he think
that if the petitioner wished to engage
more counsel than was customary, the
court should compel the respondent to
pay them. II would seem. Mr.. Gardner
said that either Mr.. Greene or Gen.
Wilson. counsel of the highest standing
at the bar. as each OF them was, would
be sufficient TO conduct the case.
Mr.. Greene said the testimony TO be
taken at Rutland was that Of DIR.
Chamberlain, who had attended the
children of the respondent, and there
would be IA or 16 witnesses from this
city.
Mr.. Gardner urged that the ordinary
fee only be granted. Judge Rogers said
there was no fixed sum for counsel fees.
and that the amount awarded depended
n good deal on the circumstances of the
case.
Mr. Gardner said if the other side
would take a reasonable fee for one
counsel he would enter into a stipula-
tion for the payment of such witnesses
as the court would say were properly
summoned. Gen. Wilson said Mrs. Pot
ter deemed ii best to have two counsel,
and that n reasonable allowance should
be made for their services.

SALE OF BANK STOCK.
The Ownership Of National Exchange
Shares In Question.
Damages Claimed For Failure TO Honor a
Clean Certificate Of Stock.

There is an interesting controversy
on between Davis & Dexter. brokers',
and the National Eagle bank, some of
the circumstances OF which were old
in The News a week ago today. More
of the circumstances Of the case We're
told before Judge Rogers i'm the Appel
late Court this morning. The main
point in the controversy is as to the
ownership OF 63 shares of the National
Exchange bank. Davis & Dexter claim
the interpleader should he behween the
bank and Seeber Edwards administra-
tor de bonis non on the estate of Chas.
X. Sweet, as to who shall pay them
$4,000, but the bank has filed a bill of
interpleader in which it seeks to have
Davis &, Dexter and Mr.. Edwards and
others interplead as TO who is the owner
of the stock.
Davis & Dexter claim they were
asked TO sell for the Fifth National
63 shares of the National Eagle bank
and sold them for $4,000. The certificate
was n clear one, being in the name of
William II. Dunham, cashier OF the
Fifth National, and after the sale the
certificate was taken TO the National
Eagle bank, when IL was said some
thing OF a slight and unimportant ma
ture was the matter with the certifi-
cate. but IL would be all right, and
Davis & Dexter sent the check for the
purchase price TO their customer. After
few days the National Eagle bank
returned the certificate with the words
las collateral security indorsed
thereon.
The certificate was of little value. and
Davis * Dexter began suit TO recover
damages for the action of the bank in
failing TO accept the clean certificate
of its cashier. The bill az interpleader
seeks also 10 have this suit enjoined.
ON behalf of the National Eagle bank
it is claimed that Charles r.. Sweet. as
executor on the estate of Charles j.
Sweet. had pledged 63 shares of the
National Eagle bank stock belonging TO
his testator's estate TO w. n. Dunham,
cashier of the complainants bank. for
a loan OF $4,000.
Judge Rogers held the matter of
whether he would enjoin the suit begun
by Davis & Dexter or not for advise
ment.
The attorneys i'm the case are David
s. Baker Lewis a. Waterman. Seeber
Edwards. Van Slyck & Wrumford and
w Is. Greenough.
