JOHN F. VICTORY RETURNS.
He Explains His Alleged Recent Dis

H.
appearance I'm Toledo.
MIR. John F. Victory, ex-secretary of
the National Association of Letter Car
riers has returned to Washington from
Toledo, Ohio, where he attended the con-
vention held by the association in that
city. In reference to the report regarding
his alleged disappearance from the con-
vention at a time when the association
wanted him to explain certain matters
in reference to his accounts, Mr.. Vic
tory says that there was no disappear
ance upon his part. nor did the associa-
ton demand of him a statement of ac-
counts. The books of the secretary and
treasurer were found to agree and were
approved by the convention
At the time of Mr.. Victory's departure
from this city he was In very bad health
and the continual strain of his duties as
secretary completely prostrated him to-
ward the last of the week. He was at
times absent from the convention, and
unfortunately at the particular time
when he was most wanteG.

opposing candidates for the secretary

GRAPE-NUTS.
A New and Highly Nutritious. Foo

A New and Highly Nutritious Food.
The odd sounding name is used to
designate a peculiar food, made not ex-
actly in the shape of nuts. but having
pleasant. nutty flavor and crisp brittle
ness that makes them charming favor
ite with the palate.
OF yet more value than the taste is the
food value of Grape-Nuts. They are
largely composed of Grape-Sugar (your
dictionary can tell you about that, and
those who use them will find the morning
meal has not only been pleasant, but
has been quickly and easily digested; for
grape-sugar is an article produced in the
human body at one stage of the diges-
tion OF food and is at once ready for
transformation into good healthy blood
and nourishment.
1t should not be understood that the
grape sugar of which Grape-Nuts is
made, has been produced in the human
body. But this grape-suSar is made by
much the same process as the body en-
ploys, and is produced by natural treat
ment of grains without any foreign sub
stance whatever. 1t is made By the Pos
tum Co, at Battle Greek, Mich The re-
suit is, perhaps. the most highly nutri-
tious food ever produced.

Ask Tor Heurich,s Maerzcn.

for dark beer they mean Heurich's Maer-
zen, but frequently the bartender draws
a glass of cheap beer and places it be-
fore the customer When this happens
there is always a remark about the beer
being off. There is only one way to do
justice to yourself and to the beer of
Heurich's brew-that is to ask for and in
sist on having Maerzen Beer. Do not call
for dark beer for there are many imi-
tations of Maerzen under other names.
All reputable dealers handle Heurich's s
beer and it can be obtained in bottles

DECLARED A DIVIDEND.
The Capital Traction Directors Hold
an Important Meeting.

an Important Meeting.
At a meeting of the board of directors
of the Capital Traction Company held
yesterday morning in the Union Station
building, it was decided to thoroughly
reconstruct the Street branch so as to
conform to the rest of the road.
A large amount of money has been ex-
pended in lining the outside rails with
vitrified brick. which, having been thor
oughly tested. has been found to be the
only pavement that will stand the con-
slant vibration of the wheels. All of the
curves are also being changed to heavier
rails than was first put down.
While the road has earned more money
in the last three months than was antici-
pated or estimated upon, and while a
very strong demand from good many
stockholders was put up for an increase
of the quarterly dividend to 81 a share.
or per cent per annum, it was thought
best by the board, after a pretty thor
ough canvass of the question, to agree on
the last rate-75 cents per share. and
that was the decision reached just be-
fore adjournment.

Of all the specialists in the world, there
probably are not two that have as wide an
experience in the treatment of women's
diseases as DR.. r. V. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, n. Y. With
the assistance of his staff of able pfysi-
clans, he has prescribed, in the past thirty
years, for many thousands of women. DR..
Pierce is pTe-emiue entity sympathetic ply
sician. Perhaps more than any other man
in the profession he realizes the hardships
of woman's work, and the disadvantages
under which she labors because of the
weak delicate and susceptible structure of
the feminine organism. His immense prac-
tee in diseases peculiar to women forced
upon his recognition the fact that women
would never take the proper care of their
health, so long as that care required the
repugnart examinations +" and local
treatments " insisted upon by nearly all
physicians. After years of study he invent
ed a remedy now known as DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription that is an absolute
and unfailing cure for the most complicated
and obstinate cases of diseases peculiar to
women. This wonderful medicine cures i'll
the privacy of the home, and does away
with the necessity for obnoxious local
treatment" 1t ifnparts health, strength,
vigor and elasticity to the organs distinctly
feminine and fits for wifehood and mother
hood.

Ai'e NoiS anu lllt otiiOoI EbOtANN'
Within the period of less than five
years school bonds authorized to be
issued by the Legislature of Maryland
have been voted down by citizens Of
Garrett county.
In a portion of the county, we are
informed, the only reason given for
voting against the bonds was the fear
that the School Commissioners would
erect another school building within
the limits of Oakland, whereas none
is needed, nor indeed there are but
very few buildings needed south of
Deep Creek The districts casting
the heaviest vote against the pro
posed issue We're the very ones which
would receive the greatest benefit
had the bonds carried.
No bonds can be issued without an
act of the Legislature and the endorse
ment of the people at the polls. \
Legislature does not meet until 1900
and no vote can be taken until the
fall of that year 1T is long time TO
wait, but there is no escape from the
verdict of Tuesday.
