CHARGES AGAINST A LAwYER.-Ia
the County Court this morning a
colored FINALE witness in a case in the
curse of her deposition stated that an
Alexandria lawyer had visited her
house aud offered her s. to absent her.
self from the court house to-day. Judge
Love asked the woman if she knew the
lame OF the lawyer, and she replied
that she did not, although he had left
nis card at her house. She was then
requested to look around the room and
see if he were present. The woman
glanced about and pointing to a colored
lawyer named Saddler said "That's the
man." Judge Love asked Saddler to
explain himself, when the latter arose
and Indignantly denied the charge.
He admitted that he called on the
woman, but said he made no such
proposition as that stated by the wit
ness. The Judge said the case was
merely n in which one persons word
Was urged against that OF another; con-
%sequently no action could be taken; but
that he would make further examine
ton into the matter and that if any
thing could be learned corroboratory of
the woman's assertion he would prose
cute him also. This ended the incident.

look if your stomach be disordered,
you have a dispep;ic look if your kid
neys be affected, you have a pinched
look. Secure good health, and you
will surely have good looks. Electric
Bitters" is q good Alternative and Tonic.

kidneys. Purifiss the BLOOD, cures
pimples, blotches and boils, and gives
a good complexion. Every bottle guar

Morales the star Of the drama, had been
forced to relinqush the stage, where he had
expected to appear triumphantly for some
time, for the one-night stands in the in
terror His men. who probably numbered
several hundred scattered and in small
bands, committed depredations on the iso-
lated hncaros,' proDrietors of the coffee
1ncas or plantations, threatening them with
death II they did not pay over what money
they had. Morales order to his men was.
Demand threaten, then hang or shoot"
1t was embarrassing for the fincaros-
English, Americans or Germans principally
to wait for the coming of the bandits
without protection. Every football of man
or horse was construed in the darkness to
mean that the revolutionists had arrived.
Only those who have lived in uncivilized
countries can realize their sensations Ex-
cept in two or three instances the visit of n
British war vessel to the port has ALWAYS
had sufficiently salutary effect and the
invaders were too badly frightened to do
anything but flee. like chickens when a
haWh suddenly appears. This time Uncle
Sam had an excellent excuse for not having
a snip where there should have been one,
and where the English were watching in
the interest of humanity and civilization
The war with Spain demanded her best eff
forts in that direction.
Last Act of the Drama,
The last act of the drama was to be en-
acted on smaller stage with fewer ac-
cessories and a smaller dramatis personae
Disappointed, wornout with less of sleep
ana weak from hunger, Prospero Morales
who had aspired to be president of Guate-
mala, was CAPTURED by the men in the en-
pioy OF the government. of which Cabrera
MS bitter enemy, was the head. He was a
traitor, and died the death of one. 1t was
not for the interest of Guatemala but to
serve his own ambition that he melted an
invasion of the land of his birth. The
country is well rid of him.
Perhaps 1t might be of interest to describe
the appearance of the Guatemala troops
inspected by The Star correspondent at the
scene of trouble in Ocos. Bare-legged, in
many cases bare-headed, with but few SEM
blances of humanity. they represented the
worst type of a soldier could well i'm
agine. The officers frequently used whips
to carry out their orders. Most of them
had never seen firearms of even the ancient
pattern supplied them. Food, in the shape
of raw meat, which they toasted over wood
fires, was doled out to them as If they had
been dogs. Heaven help Guatemala if she
ever stirs up the wrath of any civilized ma
