At the home of Mr.. and Mrs j. b.
Atherton last evening, quite a gather
ing of people interested in the study OF
literature was addressed for an hour
by Prof. Cora Mcdonald. The subject
was the play "Othello." Miss McDon-
aid handled her subject in manner
that surprised and pleased all and that
was very instructive. She gave close
analysis of several of the characters,
spoke of the MoOrs and other people OF
the plays and gave clear idea. of the
customs of those days and of the tOpO-
graphy of the theater of action. An
other meeting of the class will be held
on Monday evening next, when the
parts in the first three acts of the play
will be read. Miss Mcdonald will again
speak of the characters, the historical
phases and the country.

At the Judd Building.

The force of workmen at present en-

About a dozen men are handling the
stone that is being carted to the place
and running the pump that it removing
the tide water. The wOrkmen have a
big audience nearly all hours of the
day For the wayfarers there seems to
be a fascination about the operation Of
machinery in the open or the effOts of
either skilled or unskilled wOrkmen.
At times there are as many as 100 men
and boys Ioking into the basement or
cellar of the new building. People who
have kept check on the scene aver that
many a busy man has stopped at the
place for half an hour, simply, as
native will sometimes say, to look

New York, April 1O-Before the special
naval auxiliary board finishes its work in
this city some downtown ship brokers
may find themselves in a very uncomfort-
able position.
Members of the board have today in
their possession evidence which shows
that the offending brokers have been Sc
curing permission to sell ships to them
upon the assertion that they have influ-
ence with the board This, the brokers
asserted, would insure for the ship owner
very high price for his vessel and
very superficial inspection.
This evidence has been submitted to the
authorities at Washington. If there is
any way of furnishing the brokers for
their false pretenses they will be proceed
ed against, if some of the board members
have to do it personally.
For the present the board will not di.
vulge the names of the offenders. Some
of them, it is intimated, are very well
known in shipping circles.
Altogether, members of the board are
deeply disgusted at the patriotism of
some ship owners of this port.
''Of all the avaricious men with whom
| have ever come in contact, some of the
ship owners here are the worst" said one
of the members of the board yestrday.
"One would imagine that in a crisis like
the present Americans would be willing to
sacrifice something for their country But
instead of doing that, they come before US
with worthless old hullzs which they try to
foiSt upon the Government at much as
300 per cent above their actual value. 9th
ers of the same ilk, when they find that
the Government does need their boats will
advance the price. One ship owner last
week advanced in one night the price of
his vessel so per cent because he thought
we would report favorably upon it,
Such a lamentable spirit is very COM
mon, but do not understand that it is
shown in every instance. We could not
look for a better spirit than that shown
by the owners of the big liners. They
have honestly and fairly dealt with us,
and the Government, not in any way try
ing to get the best of it,
Word came to the board from Wash
ngton yesterday to recommend a half
dozen more fast steel or iron vessels for
cruisers. The boats of the Merchants
and Miners Transportation Company,
of Baltimore, were sent in. These YES
sells, ten in number were inspected early
this year by Lieut.. Comdr. Kelley and
later by Lieut.. Sargent and Engineer Dix
on.
The Merchants and Miners Line runs
from Baltimore to Philadelphia and Bos-
ton.
| The vessels which. will probably be ac-
| cepted by the Government are the steel
| steamships GIouchester and Howard
| which have a gross tonnage of 2.642 and
! 2.552 tons respectively. They are new
| single screw. with a speed of from IA 10
| 16 knots an hour.
The others are of iron, with single
| screws. They are the Dorchester. 2.535
| tons; the Essex. 2,531 tons; the Fairfax,
2,551 tons. the Juniata, of 2.51 tons. OPP
| tions upon all these have been secured by
| the board.

HEALTH CATECHISM.
To BE Committed to Memory by All
Dyspeptics, InvaIids, Consump-
fiyes

What is the first cause of nine-tenths
of all disease?
Imperfect digestion of food
Why does imperfect digestion cause
disease Of other organs?
Because blood. nerves, muscles. bone
and flesh are derived from the food we
eat and digest. If digestion is perfect the
blood is pure, nerves and muscles strong,
flesh firm. If the digestion is poor. the
blood is supplied from half-digested, fer
menting food irritating every nerve and
organ. The result is sooner or later, or
ganic disease, because every organ be-
ing poorly nourished the weakest gives
way first and we have liver trouble kid
ney complaints, heart disease or con-
sumption.
Is not dieting the usual and best treat
ment to cure indigestion?
No, because the dyspeptic has been
starved long enough; what is needed is
abundant nourshment, not the lack of it.
The stomach and blood demand nutri-
ment not bran crackers.
What is the best method of cure?
Plenty of wholesome food well di-
gested.
But how can a weak stomach digest
plenty OF wholesome food?
BY taking with the Tood after each
meal certain harmless remedies which
| are known to digest food and thus nour-
| ish the blood and rest the weak stomach.
| What are these harmless remedies?
| The most valuable are vegetable fer
ments. pure pepsin. Golden Seal and
| fruit salts. All of these are now combin-
| ed in the form of pleasant tasting tab
| lets sold by druggists under the name OF
| Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
| Are these tablets superior to the va
| rious liquid preparations so-called dys-
| pepsia cures?
| Most decidedly, because all liquid med
| cines become stale with age and lose
whatever good qualities they may have
| had originally, while the tablet retains
its properties indefinitely Stuart's Dys,
| pepSia Tablets can be carried in the
| pocket always at hand ready for use
when travelling or at daily occupation
They cost but 80 cts. and should be KEEP
in every family. They keep~-the diges
| ton perfect and save Doctors bills by
warding off disease.
Are Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets adapt
ed to all forms of Dyspepsia?
| Yes, because in all cases the trouble re
suits from indigested. fermenting food
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets cause thu
food to be digested before it has time tC
| ferment.

Spanish Legation Closed to All COM
ers Yesterday.


Senior Polo, the Spanish minister, was
incomunecado yesterday. He was Sc
creted III the trocha at the northeast cor
ner of Massachusetts Avenue and Eigh-
teenth Streets northwest all day. He
would receive no callers.
THE minister is not to be seen, was all

manipulates the pasteboards in the outer
intrenchments.
a brother of the gentleman with the
sporty name called at the legation early
in the afternoon and started to go in,
after adjusting his rusty cigarette so
that it was headed oward his vermi-
form appendix.
The Spaniard with the hamburger
steak complexion who runs the door
handle refused to take his card.
"Senor Polo cannot be seen" was his
laconic remark.
But I'm his brother" said the visitor,
with an air of firmness, hitching his
cigarette around to horizontal position
and looking fiercely at the lackey.
Cant be helped" returned that luck
less individual ''Senor Polo left orders
that he cannot be seen"
The descendant of a long line of Moor
polishers INDUCED in a gentle fit and
seeing that the flunkey was ineXorable,
he wiped the atmosphere of the place
from his brow and, muttering something
that sounded like "Car-r-r-rambo!' he
took his departure-also his cigarette
and went down the street
The secretaries of the legation also
maintained the stricteSt privacy during
the day. Newspaper men who called were
treated somewhat cavalierly and no in
formation was given out.
1t was evident from the secrecy main
tanned at the legation that preparat lions
are making for a precipitate departure
