WATCHMAN DIsTURBs BURGLARS.
They Were Attempting to Break
Into Mr.. HeisIer's Store.

Mr.. J. c. Robinson. a private watch
man, engaged by a number of commits
sion men and other Cary-street mer-
chants TO watch their premises at night,
had his first experience with burglars just
after midnight.
He was patrolling his beat in the neigh
borhood of Virginia and Cary streets
when he espied two men working at the
store occupied by Mr.. j. +. Heisler the
wholesale commission merchant. One Of
the men was at the door. and the other
was attempting to open the window.
Mr.. Robinson drew his revolver and
ran towards the men shouting: what
ara you doing?" AS soon as they heard
his voice they fed. precipitately, but the
Waterman did not follow them, for the
reason, he says. that he is not employed
by MIR Heisler and thought that he
would be exceeding his authority in
making an arrest. One of the men says
Mr.. Robinson. was white and one colored,
but both appeared to be tramps.

More men, women, and even little chill
dren have been suffering with rheuma-
tism and neuralgia the present year than
ever before. Statistics from all over the
country show this--doctors reports prove
it, Possibly the unusual weather has
had something TO do with IT, but there Is
one great reason back of It all. The
great cause OF rheumatism and neural
gia, or even muscular cold, Is because
there is uric acid in the blood. This uric
acid should be thrown out of the system,
and can be II the kidneys are only I'm
strong and healthy condition; but being
weaned, these great organs are not able
to throw the uric acid from the system,
and so 1t gets into the blood, poisons
the blood, settles around the joints, in
flames the muscles, and causes what we
call rheumatism and neuralgia.
Is this not clear? Can you not readily
see that there is only one way 10 cure
these troubles, and that is by keeping
the kidneys i'm a strong and healthy con-
dition? IL they are kept strong and well,
and drive the uric acid from the blood,
there will be no more rheumatism or
neuralgia.
In every quarter Of the globe, including
India, Africa, and Australia, IL is ac-
knowledged that there Is but one dis
covery which can or ever does fight the
battle against uric acid. and drive 1t
from the body. That discovery is known
universally throughout the world as War
ners Safe Cure.
In writing upon this subject, Mr.. Will
liam Edward Rosbon, surgeon Of the
Royal Navy OF England, said:
Il conscientiously- and emphatcally
state that 1 have been able to give more
relief and effect more cures by the use of
Warmers Safe Cure than by all other
medicines in the British Pharmacopoea."
DR.. n. Dyer, Of Wurtzburg, Germany,
said:
II have prescribed Warmers Safe Cure
constantly to those suffering from kidney
or liver diseases. and especially rheuma-
tism and neuralgia. In some instances
where the case seemed hopeless | have
seen the sufferer restored 10 complete
health, greatly 10 my surprise and gratif-
cation, and 1 constantly recommend it in
all circles of my acquaintance"
Professor j. Poiraud, B. A. b. Sc, OF
Paris. says:

some time previous to this hour and held
a most important business-meeting at
which both the Board of Directors and
the officers for the ensuing year were
elected, and a change was made in the by
laws of the organization.
The business meeting was presided over
by the retiring president, DR.. NJ. ID. Hoge,
Jr., who positively declined reelection.
As a result of the declination on his part,
DR.. Jacob Michaux was elected president
and Messrs. w. G. Gwatkins was chosen
vice-president. while Mr.. Norman 5. Nor
ton was elected to the offices of secre-
tary and treasurer, which he has so ac-
ceptably filled since his appointment,

CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION.
A most important change was made In
the constitution OF the club, whereby the
new members will hereafter be elected
on an unanimous vote Of the Board or
Governors. Hitherto It has been the GUS
tom TO submit the names Of applicants 10
the entire membership Of the club Tor
their approval or otherwise. but under
the new rule, the board will pass upon
them.
When all the business had been disposed
Of Mr.. Gwatkins arose. and in happy
speech presented DIR. Hoge with a h&hd-
some silver ladle. In his speech Mr..
Gwatkins referred to the fate Of the
ladle-that OF falling into the soup-and
expressed the hope that its recipient
might not share it's fate. He also made
happy allusion TO its sterling qualities
which he made applicable TO its recipient
A DELIGHTFUL BANQUET.
DR.. Hoge replied in a brief speech of
thanks. and when he concluded the men,
beers repaired 10 the reception-rooms.

around huge punch bowls. they greeted
their guests. But a short time was spent
i'm these rooms, ere the orchestra, hidden
behind a bank Of palms, struck up an in
splring march. to which all kept step TO
the banquet hall.
A magnificent supper awaited the MEM
bers and guests, and 10 the delightful
menu full justice was done. Everything
in season was served, and the delicious
viands were fianked with the choicest
wines. The festivities were continued UNI

The Popular Physician Lectures 10
n Large Audience on This subject.

DR.. Virginius Harrison gave the first OF
a series of lectures TO be held under the
auspices Of the Literary Department OF
the Epworth League at st. James Method
ist church last night. The occasion was a
success in every respect Before the hour

of Staunton. entitled The Holy City"
After prayer, the pastor. Rev. W. b.
Beauchamp, then introduced Dr. Harri-
son. The subject of the lecture was The
Use of Anaesthetics From a Historical
Standpoint and Popular Interest" The
lecturer proceeded to give in an interest
ing manner the history Of the use OF
anaesthetics in surgery. He spoke Of the
dangers and great advantages Of chloro-
form and ether in surgical operations;
discussed their compare tive advantages
and disadvantages. He gave an interesting
account of the performances Of patients
under the influence of chlOroform or ether,
and remarked 1T is somewhat curious
that men talk more than ladies under the
influence Of these anaeSthetics." The lee
turer stated that the popular idea that
men committed robberes by means Of the
use of chlOroform was a false one; that
none but experts could use IT with the
desired effect, and they. sometimes, with
fatal results. The lecture was listened TO
with much pleasure. The second lecture
OF this series will be given the latter part
of February by Professor S. c. Mitchell.
Of Richmond College, whose subject will
be. THE First Martyr TO the Freedom OF
Thought"
