A JUDGES SUDDEN DEATH.
lie Was Stricken In Church..A Strik-
ing Lesson 10 Those Who Neglect
Timely Warnings.

A learned Judge was taken suddenly
sick in church, December 5, 1897, in the
city of Brooklyn. Four days later, In
spite of the best medical aid, he died.
The doctors said the judge had kidney
disease and had lived a surprisingly
long time, everything considered.
A man or woman may live along for
years with incompetent kidneys only to
collapse as suddenly as q house of cards
when the baby's hands knocks it over.
The early indications of Brights dis
ease are sometimes very slight-head-
aches, dull pains. depressed feelings,
lack of energy-all these indicate the
first stages of Bright's disease and yet
few people think they mean anything
serious until, often, 1t is too late.
There has never been but one dis
covery known to the world and the
medical profession for checking
Bright's disease in its beginning or cur
ing 1t after 1t has progressed. That
discovery. which is so popular in Flu
rope. America and throughout the
world is Warmers Safe Cure.
If the learned Judge, who was strick-
Ell in church, had realized years before
the secret power that was undermining
his life, he might have counteracted II
and lived to q green old age.
Rut he did not know!
And alas there are thousands OF
people today who are upon the same
dangerous road and who do not real
ize it.

they will probably begin work on their
programme of Easter music.
Professor David owens, of No. 13
school, is instructing a chorus choir of
seventy-five voices who are preparing for
the next teachers institute.
The following are few suggestions
that will benefit a choir and assist the
chorister: Pay attention to the chorister
while he is explaining; sit erect, do not
communicate with each other while the
pastor is speaking; avoid sleeping during
service avoid the habit of turning the
leaves in your book, ii is annoying to
persons sitting near you; do not smile If
a member makes an error in singing:
keep a pleasant face and do not stare
at strangers: do not arrive in your choir
pew after the sermon has commenced; do
not force the voice to be heard above
others. Bear in mind there are critics
in the audience.
Professor w. II. Williams, of the South
Side, who has charge of the singing in
the Calvary Reformed church. corner of

at the Academy the first half of next
week, is a new semi-political play from
the pen of H. Grattan Donnelly. 1t is
said to be story depicting scenes and
incidents around very hotly contested
election, where two opposing factions of
the same political party are at swords
points. The political coloring only gives
a novel and effective background for a
strong story of love and romance which
runs through the play.

CHARGES AGAINST OFFICERS.
Prfvates Complain That Their Ra-
tiOas Were Taken From Them.

Several of the soldiers who enlisted with
the immune regiment raised in this city
have returned to their homes. and make
grave charges against some Of the Off
GERS There were five companies, 1T will
be remembered raised in the District of
Columbia In Company there were
eighty-six men all told, yet when the COM
-pany started for Cuba only forty-two re-
sponded to the call. The others were either
sick or had been discharged upon their
own motion. Several of the returning i'm
munes claim that they were roughly treat
ed by the officers while at Fredericksburg.
The most serious charge is that the men
were permitted to suffer for want of food
because of the action of the officers, who
drew their rations from the company. This
was contrary to all rules and regulations,
as the officers were supposed to provide
their own mess, and every meal taken from
the privates meant that much less for
them.
Mr. A. T. Leathers, who lives on 4th
street. is one of the privates who was dis
charged. He says he did not pay mucn
attention to the designation of the regi-
ment when he Joined. He had never had yell
low fever or any other contagious dis
ease and had never been farther south than
Washington. There were a number hf
others similarly situated, and no questions
were asked as to their past medical his
tory. Mr.. Lsathers makes the charge
broadly that at FREDERICKSBURG the oHcers
of Company lived on the company and
the men were hungry a result; all the
best cuts of meat, in fact everything, he
said in the shape Of dainties that the
priyates were entitled to. were gobbled
ur by the officers. Mr.. Leathers also makes
a serious charge in relation to the quarter
masters department.
He says he was charged with clothes he
never received. His statements are cor
roborated by w. A. Harner, also ef Com
pany G and recently discharged. Mr.. Har-
ner served the company as cook, and told
a reporter of The Star today that 1t was
true that the officers drew the soldiers
rations, and that there was not enough to
go around. He was directed to furnish the
best of everything for the officers from the
privates' mess and while every day he
heard complaints and repeated them to
the proper official they were never rectified,
and the soldiers continued to suffer be-
cause Of the greediness of the officers. He
also makes the claim that he was over
charged for some Of the clothing he drew,
and believes that there should be an inves-
tigation Of the whole affair.

PHILIPPINE QUESTION NEXT
American Peace Commission Ready to Dis

Paris Papers Full of Local Troubles
One Significant Dispatch From

PARIS. October 28.-The American peace
commissioners held session of several
hours during today prior to the joint ses
sion Of the two commits sions. which opened
at o'clock this after noon.
The Americans fully realize that they are
approaching the discussion of the chief
question intrusted to them, namely, the
future of the Philippine Islands, and it
may be taken for granted that they are
well prepared to take the matter up if it is
hroached today by the Spanards.
The morning, papers here treat of the fall
OF the French cabinet and the scenes in
the chamber of deputies yesterday almost
to the exclusion of general news. All of
them, however. dwell briefly on the Spanish
crisis or the split in the liberal party of
Spain, without. however, direct reference
to the Paris peace commission. except in
the case of new paper. La Volante, which,
In Madrid article, dealing with the inter-
national situation in Spain, sums up as
follows:
SpaiM's Internal Trouble.
Whatever may be said, one way or the
other. regarding the situation, one thing is
apparent-that the moment is badly chosen
for 4 ministerial crisis. When dreadful
calamities threaten Spain from the outside
and al the moment when her des TIMES are
being decided by the Paris conference, and
at the moment whan her flag is crushed at
Porto Rico, the liberal party is in a state
of chaos and disagreement, and in the face
of American pretensons, which are daily
becoming more arrogant, Spain finds her
self with a ministry without authority.
Never mas she needed more imperative
ly strong government, one more watchful
or awake to outside questions. Instead of
this, miserabl.. internal quarrels are dis

Hospital Corps, Particularly.
HUNTSVILLE, Ala, october 26-The war
investigating commission today began the
inspection of Camp Forse, preparatory to
the inquiry which will be instituted here
later. The commissioners separated into
parties of two for the purpose OF inspec-
ton. but even they found the task before
them quite arduous, as the camp here is a
large ore. with about fifteen subdivisions
of troops, to say nothing of the hospitals.
There are great many regulars here,
and among them many who participated in
the Santiago campaign. Many of those
will be examined when the commission be-
gins its sittings.
The investigation here will be directed
especially to the procuring of facts con-
cerning the management Of the hospitals,
and the care of the sick while the army
was in Cuba.
I'VE know all about the landing and the
way the battles were fought. said Gen.
Dodge. What we want to know Is how the
sick and wounded were cared for" In pur-
suit of this purpose large number of sur

were greeted here by a mild snow storm
and very muddy roads. and decided to post
pone camp inspection and to begin the TAX
ing of testimony today.
