ANNIE RYAN MISSING.
TyveIve-Year-oId Schoolgirl Has Not
Been Seen since Tuesday.

Been Seen since Tuesday.
The Washington police are looking for
Annie Ryan, e pretty twelve-year-old
child, who has not been at home since
noon Tuesday. She is the daughter of
John T. Ryan, molder, who has been
employed for six years in the Washington
navy yard. Mr.. and Mrs. Ryan live at
Ess Tenth Street southeast. and have three
children.
Annie is between the youngest and the
Oldest. She attends the Tyler school on
Eleventh Street, and Miss Annie LOomis
is her teacher. She was at school as usual
Tuesday, but went home TO her lunch.
While there she. teased her younger sis
ter and was reprimanded by her mother.
That afternoon al school she told the 9th
er girls that her mother had threatened
20 whip her when she returned home.
She innmated that she would 90 some
were else, and when school was over she
started down Eleventh Street with the
ether children, She was accompanied by
Ada Brust, q school girl who lives on
Jefferson Street In Anacostia. Annie ask
ed Ada If she might go home and stay
with her. but the latter is said TO have
answered that she was sorry but there
was no place for her 10 sleep.
That was the last seen of the child.
When she did not return last night her
mother became very much alarmed, and
sent a friend to the Brust home in Ana
costa 10 inquire after her daughter. The
reply was brought back that she was not
there, and that no one seemed to know
where she had gone. When Mr.. Ryan
returned home in the. evening he did
everything possible TO secure information
as TO Annie's whereabouts, but without
success. At q late hour Tuesday night he
reported the circumstances TO the police
of the Fifth precinct station, and gen
eral alarm was sent TO all the stations.
Yesterday morning Miss Loomis made a
careful inquiry Of all her pupils, but no one
had any information, except that the last
seen of the girl was when she was on
Eleventh Street, near the school build
ing.
It is hard 10 tell where she has gone.

Poor Names for Warships

such names as Dixie, Prairie, etc., the lim-
Its of inaptitude had been reached, but
there is a still further advance in the d.

christening of the Paris and the New York

Harvard as a name to fight under, when
not vessel in the service honors that of
William cambridge or Isaac Hull or James
Lawrence or John Paul Jones! Conceive
of calling a great cruiser the Yale and a
wretched little torpedo boat the Farragut
or the Decatur! Only one step further
and we shall have the U. S. monitor Vas
sar and the U. S. battleship the Misses
Jones' seminary. If we cannot honor our
own naval heroes in the names of the ves-
sells whereon their successors hope to ems
ulate their renown, let us go back to the
great sea fighters of our race and keep
alive, as England has done, the glorious
deeds of Hawkins and Frobisher and
Drake and the captains who taught us how
to thrash the Dagoes in the British chan-
mel three hundred years ago. But Har-

The action for libel brought by Miss
Marie Corelli against the publisher of Lit
erary London will be watched with much
interest. Miss Corelli has at various times
expressed her belief in the general fiend-
ishness of all critics, and some time since
declared open war against thin by refus-
ing to permit any of her books to be sent
out for review. Now she is attempting
to punish the publisher of a book in which
as a novelist in a way, which she alleges
is libelous. What Mr.. Ryan said was in
effect that Miss Coreli's novels were the
delight of boarding houses, and the solace
of maid servants. 1t is difficult to see how
these statements can be regarded as IL
belous.
Pallas Athene's Voice To-day.-A young
man took his last dip of ink, for his work
was done. A glow of enthusiasm flushed
his paid brow. At the other side of his
table rose a stately figure, helmeted; in
her grasp were buckler, spear, and olive
branch. Next there came a f1utter of
wings, and an owl perched on his book
stand. Pallas Athene stood before the
young man, and from under her casque
shone great, gray, loving, sympathetic
eyes. There was a smile on her lips, as if
of kindly greeting With clear, distinct,
ringing voice she said:
"See here, young chap, keep plump CEN

Thousands have tried from time imme-
mortal to discover some etficacious remedy
for wrinkles and other imperfections of
the complexion, but none had yet sue
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam
Gus Complexion Specialists, of IS Fifth
Avenue, New York City, offered the pub
lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason 10 many failed to make this
discovery before is plain, because they have
not followed the right principle. Balms,
Creams, Lotions, ETC., never have tonic
effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
most exhilarating effect upon the cuticle,
absorbing and carrying off all impurities
which the blood by its natural action is
constantly forcing to the surface of the
skin. 1t is to the skin what vitalizing
tonic is to the blood and nerves, kind of
new life that Immediately exhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect is felt almost Immediately, and it
speedily banishes forever from the skin,
freckles, pimples, blackheads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness,
oiiness, eruptions, and discolorations Of
any kind.
In order that all may be benefited by
their Great Discovery, the Misses Bell will,
