A protest against the election of Hon.
]. W. Babcock from the Third Wisconsin
Congressional District was made by Mr.

council. Mr. Spohn charged that Mr.. Bab-
cock, as chairman of the House Commit

effort of the residents of the District of
Columbia to secure the benefits of an elect

himself an enemy to liberty in its fullest
sense. The council decided to have the
protest printed and circulated in Mr. Bab-
cocks district.

subcommittee to make full report be-
fore the next meeting of the council.

A most wonderful medicine is now being
sent free to all men by the famous Physi-
clans Institute of Chicago. Ii is a remedy
especially prepared for men who need
general bracing up. and has never failed
TO restore perfect manhood in the most
hopeless cases. 1t has cured hundreds of
men who had battied for years against
the mental and physical sufferings of lost
manhood. The Physicians Institute has
decided TO distribute free course of med
icine, prepared TO suit each mans condi-
tion, to all who write. II is home treat
ment and all men who suffer from any
form of sexual weakness resulting from
youthful folly, premature loss of strength
and memory, weak back, varicocele or
emaciation of parts can now cure them
selves.
The remedies have a peculiarly grateful
effect; they act directly on the parts af
fected, giving warmth and development
just where IL is needed. 1t cures all the
Ills and troubles that come from years of
misuse of the natural functions and has
been a great success IN all cases. The

course of medicine free, that is adapted to
his case, with ali the instructions neces-
sary for its use. The medicines are al
ways sent IN pam wrappers so tnat the

ment or publicity.
A large percentage of the men of today
are sadly in need of the right kind of med
ical treatment for weakness peculiar to
men. 1t matters not what the cause may
have been, the fact still remains that they
all require proper medical attention i'm
mediately. Write them at once, giving a
description of your case, and the Physi-

condition, a treatment that will surely de-

THE MISSING CARTER PAPERS.


singular Delay In Carrying Out the
Courts Sentence.
Inc mystery deepens concerning the
disappearance Of the. papers and findings
IN the famous court-martial case of Capt.
y. ID. Carter, Of the United States Engi-
neer Corps.
The papers have never been seen by
the President and they can be traced Of
hcially only as far as the office Of Sec
retary Alger. There they seem to have
disappeared as completely as though the
earth had opened and swallowed them.
Since The Times first called attention
TO the passing Of these papers, many in
quiries about them have been made in
many directions, and many theories have
been advanced asato their disappearance
and the why's and2wherefores thereof.
The suggestion has been made that
nothing will be done with Capt. Carter
and no action taken ON the sentence Of
dismissal and fine until after the cleo
tions. That the war excitement came
about opportunely, and this case, like
the klondike exodus and other current
matters of great Importance, disappeared
from the public mind to make way for
the more important and stirring chapters
of fire and smoke news from the front.
1t is also said Senator Platt, Of New
York, has appeared in the matter as an
influential friend" of Capt Carter,
whose present address is said to be the
University Club New York city.
In some quarters it is hinted that Sec
retary Alger's lawyer. whoever he is, has
taken the papers and is preparing a
statement for the Secretary, in spite of
the fact that the Judge advocate general
gave six weeks to his review of the case
and prepared an exhaustive resume. Gen.
Miles was not permitted a look at the
papers, although in the ordinary routine
of official business he should pass upon
them.

TINY SPECIMEN OF vAGRANcY.
Nine-lear-0Id George Sproesser In
the l4asy's CRASH

George p. Sproesser is probably the
youngest and tiniest spe eaimen OF human
ity against whom the charge of vagran-
cy has ever been preferred in the Dis
trict of Columbia. He was arrested yes
terday afternoon by Policeman Lally.
on complaint of Mrs. III. G. Rudd. of tn
Associated Charities and locked up in
the witness room in the First precinc;
police station.
Yesterday afternoon little Sproesser,
who is only nine years old, and rather
small for his age. went with two o,her
youngsters TO visit the ruins of the fire
on F Street. All three became hungry
and the elder of SproeSser's companions
suggested that they visit the Associated
Charities, at Ninth and G Streets, and
ask for some food.
Little Sproesser declares that he was
never there before, and did not know
what the others Were going to do. He
accompanied them. however, and they
went in and asked Mrs. Rudd for some
thing 10 eat. She got up and telephoned
to the First precinct police station for
a policeman. The other two boys skip
ped out, but little Sproesser, ignorant OF
what was in store for him. remained
Sergt. Moore received the call for an
officer and dispatched Policeman Lally
one of the best-natured men in the pre-
cinct, to the place. The officer stalked
in. looking for some robust offender and
stared aghast when he saw the tiny mite
of humanity he was called upon to place
in durance.
Mrs Rudd preferred a formal charge
of vagrancy. however and he was COM
PEELED to take the bowling youngster by
the hand and lead him through the
crowded streets to the police station.
There he was locked in a witness room
until night when his father who had
been sent for. arrived and Sergt. Moore
allowed the boy TO be taken home, on
the fathers promise to produce him in
the police court today.

THE SUMMER is ENDED.
Passing of Season Which Has Been
Remarkably Disngreeabfe.


Summer ended yesterday and today
marks the beginning of Autumn.
The change of seasons will not be re-
GREETED, for the Summer just passed has
been in many respects a remarkable one.
particularly in the matter of excessive
heat
Summer begins on the 10Th of June, and
the last ten days of that month this year
were much warmer than is usual for
that period Ii did not begin to get ex-
cessively warm, however. un:il the lst OF
July, when the hottest wave that was
ever known in this section visited the
capital July began with squirt and the
mercury jumped to the higher n.neties,
occasioning much suffering. The last
three days of August were very hot, ana
the month of August was warm all the
way through.
The Summer was deficient in rainfall
and what there has been was poorly
distributed. Most OF the rain came in
August, when the damage by drought
had ready been done.
August generally has less rain than July
and September, but this year the condi-
tions were opposite.
During the past Summer the highest
temperature readings Were: July II. -

Two women were discussing the
question OF women casting votes
equally with men. Ono was rather
young and pretty, with an air that
spoke plainly of her always having
her own way. The other was middle
aged. comely and genial. Said the
young one: There is no use talking,
women will never have equal suffrage
as long as they persist in staying at
home as they do. Why don't they get
out and register? The men have
given them the chance of voting for
school trustees and one thing leads to
another. What they ought to do is to
call a great rally and embrace the priv
ilges they have offered them. It is q
great thing TO deal in the affairs of the
state. even If they are merely educa-
tional. l voted"
Men always put in good school
trustees" said the elder woman.
"And ! helped them do it,"
THE privileges allotted woman in
the matter Of voting in this state re-
MIND me OF when I was little girl and
lived on the farm. My father used to
take me with him to town whenever he
went. because I was fond of the horses
and cried if he left me at home. And
thought I ought to be allowed to drive.
so he humored me by letting me take
hold OF the ends of the lines and cluck
to the horses. deriving as much JOY
from it as If his strong hands were not
guiding and directing the horses ahead
OF mine. But thought I was driving
and making things go my way. That is
what women voting for school trus--
tees reminds me Of"

And the young woman did not say a
word. for there was nothing to be said.
