Medical books are not always interest

1t is also well established truth that
nine-tenths of all diseases originate with
a breaking down of the digestion, a weak
stomach WeakenS and impoyerishes the
system, making it easy for disea So to

OPINIONS RENDERED..
Court of Appeals Rcversss One Deci-
sion, Sustafns Another.


In addition to the opinions mentioned in
The Star. the Court of Appeals late yes
terday afternoon announced decision re-
versing the judgment of the lower court in
the case Of Frank Hume and Timothy
d. DAILY appellants. against f. Francis
Riggs and others, and one affirming the
judgment of the lower court in the case of
the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Company against Samuel B. Davis.
The case first mentioned was an appeal
from a decree enjoining the marshal from
retaining certain property formerly be-
longing to Caleb w. Spofford and convey
ed by him to certain trustees for f. Fran
els Riggs, to secure loan of $4,000 and
an annual rental of $4,000. Hume and
Daily brought action to recover payment
for groceries and provisions, and also for
money loaned. The lower court held the
former to be prior lien. This judgment
however, was reversed by the Court of
Appeals
The case of the Norfolk and Washing
ton Steamboat Company against Davis was
an action for damages brought for an al
legged libel published by authority of the
steamboat company. 1t appears, the court
stated, that Davis, who had been employ
ed by the steamboat company, was dis
charged by Superintendent Callahan. K
C. Murray, friend of Davis, wrote to
Callahan in connection with the incident,
and the alleged libel was contained in the
reply of Callahan to Murray. The judg-
ment of the court was that the letter
contained gross charges against Davis as
to his efficiency as commander of a YES
sci. The judgment in the sum of 81 900
was affirmed by the Court of Appeals.

Verdict I'm Case of Charles Winston
Charged With Murder.

Charles Winston, colored, shortly before
o'clock last night, was declared guilty by
a jury in Criminal Court No. . of the muir
der of his wife, Emma, the 18th of last De-
cember. The jury did not qualify it's YER
dict with the words without capital pun
ishment," and. therefore, unless the regu-
lar course of the law shall be interrupted,
the prisoner will expiate his crime on the
gallows. There are now three men con-
fined in the District Jail who have been
convicted of murder Two of them are I'M
der sentence of death, and, unless Judge
Bradley grants new trial in the case of
Winston, he, too, will soon be sentenced to
be hanged.
After The Stars report of the trial of
Winston closed yesterday afternoon the
defense announced that it's case was con-
Guided Winston himself was the only per-
son to take the witness stand for the de-
Tense. Counsel submitted a few prayers
Tor instructions that they desired the court
should give the jury, and then arguments
began. The arguments We're concluded
shortly before o'clock, and thereupon
Judge Bradley delivered his charge The
twelve men in about three-quarters of an
hour thereafter decided that Winston was
guilty as indicted, and so reported when
called into court later. The prisoner re-
ceived the announcement with the utmost
cCmposure.
Messrs. Turner and Keys, counsel for
Winston. gave notice that 1t is their inten-
ton to file motion for new trial.

JEFFERsoN's BIRTHDAY,
To Be Celebrated by q Banquet Under
Club AusDices.

President Chauncey F. Black and Secre-
tary Lawrence Gardner of the National
Association of Democratic Clubs yesterday
sent out a circular letter announcing the
Intention Of the association to celebrate
the 155th birthday anniversary Of Thomas
Jefferson Wednesday, April ID, by a SUBJ
scription dinner. The letter after reciting
that the reverential observance of Jeffer-
sons day has become significant usage of
the democratic clubs and of the democratic
party, states that it furnishes a fitting oc-
casion for renewed declarations of devo-
ton to the fundamental principles of hui
man liberty, for which the party was orig
1nally formed to uphold ard defend; for
the revision of party doctrines applied
to the conflicts of the hour, and for a
timely review of the centrahZing, corrupt
ing and oppressive measures of the feder-
alist opponents who, under one name or an
other, have from the foundation of the re-
public sought to revolutionize the Consti-
tuition by false construction and false adj
ministration."
In conclusion the letter reads as follows:
we therefore earnestly advise the DEM
ocratic associations of the United States,
whether large or small, to join with the
National Association of Democratic Clubs
on the 18th Of April next, at such hour
and in such manner as may best serve the
wishes of each separate organization, in a
common homage TO the memory of the
great apostle of American liberty, the au-
thor of the Declaration of Independence,
and the founder of the democratic party,
and in fresh expression of our unalter-
able determination to preserve the heritage
of freedom as it came to US from our fore
fathers. and to resist by every lawful
means in our power the entertainments of
organized wealth and monopoly upon the
constitutional rights of the people"
The dinner here will be given in the Ma
tional Rifles Armory Hall. and the guests
of especial honor will be William Jennings
Bryan and Chairman Jones of the ma
tional democratic committee.

A CERTAIN CURE
FOR
CONSTIPATION
Regulations as to Diet, Exercise;
&c, as Prescribed by One
of the Most Eminent
Physicians.

Constipation affects mostly those
who are dyspeptic or who sit too
much or too long. 1t cannot be
cured by medicines alone The fol-
lowing is the prescription of lead
ing physician:
Ist. Take on rising a teaspoonful
of Carlsbad Sprudel Salt in a glass of
water as hot as you can sip it. Then
take brisk walk out of doors. if YOU
can; if not, keep on your feet and
move about indoors. II the trouble
is chronic and serious, take another
dose in from thirty to sixty minutes.
Wait at least hall an hour before eat
ing your breakfast.
I'd. Never sit down to read or
work after breakfast until nature has
found relief. But | haven't time"
You will have time if you rise an
hour earlier than before, and cure
is worth that
sd. Use laxative food-use a Cruel
of rolled oats and water, no milk;
and use honey with wheat griddle
cakes or with bread. Never touch
toast, or milk except in coffee. Don't
eat blackberries or cheese. and never
drink tea for breakfast. Use coffee
at breakfast, if you can; if not, hot
water. Chew all food thoroughly
and never use liquid to help masti-
cate it. Never use acids or sour fruits,
and fruit when cooked is much easier
| digested than if uncooked.
4th. Why use Carlsbad Sprudei
Salt? Because, first, there is no reac-
ton to follow it. You know what
that means, if you have taken physics
and found yourself worse off than be-
fore, the second day afterwards; Sec
ond, because the Genuine Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt aids the stomach as well
as the bowels in their functions.
You can take the Carlsbad Sprudei
Salt less and less steadily as you inn
prove; but never be without a bottle
handy. Be sure to use only the
Genuine Carlsbad Salt, which is OBJ
tanned from the celebrated Carlsbad
Sprudel Water, and has the sigma
ture of EISNER & MENDELSON
CO., Sole Agents, New York, on
every bottle.
