Printed Millinery.

From the Millinery Trade Review.
Some entirely novel ideas are trying to
push their way. As for the decoration OF
felt hats with painted garlands and bou-
quets, it is never likely to be more than
a passing caprice; in the first place. the ef-
feet obtained is far from being adequate to
the trouble and care expended; and. i'm the
second, it is very difficult to devise a trim
ming that shall be in keeping with orna-
mentation of this sort. Were the painting
executed in bright colors. it would look
garish whereas delicate tints appear tame.
and, moreover, necessitate correspondingly
tame coloring for the trimming.
Better than the painted felts are the
painted satins and Velvets used to make
berets, full crowns, and draperies. But
the Sc are only really pretty executed in
light colors on white, and therefore are only
applicable TO the very Smartest models.
One example will suffice: il is picture hat
of white felt with a full crown of white
velvet painted with mauve orchids and pale
green grasses. About the base Of the crown
is folded wide mauve ribbon tied In a
bow with several loops on one side, beneath
which is fixed plume of white tips. The
brim is slightly lifted one side. where
the hat rests on a semi-coronet of shaded
mauve and satin roses.

FOUGHT A GREAT FIGHT.
Death, However, Won at Last and
Brought Relief.

IN or about Feb. L., of this year,
Lorenzo Resotka was injured by a fall
of rock while at work in the Johnson
mines at Priccburg. He was removed
To his boarding house and lay in bed
until the Monday following suffering
untold agony. On that day, he was
brought TO the Lackawanna hospital
and it was discovered that his back
was broken.
His case was well nigh hopeless to
begin with and the neglect of the first
few days almost sealed his fate But
he seemed 20 bear a charmed life and
for week or so actually grew better.
Then change, ana "A decided one, came
for the worse and for almost three
weeks he has made an awc-inspiring
fight with death, practically DYING Ivy
inches. Death. at last became victor
and at 5 o'clock yesterday the end
came, lie is unmarried, and the only
relative he has is a married Sister at
Priceburg.

THEY RIDICULE 1T.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and Stomach Troubles.
Ridicule, However, Is Not Argument
and Facts Are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common
and in most cases so obstinate to cure
that people are apt to look with suspi-
cion on any remedy claiming to be a
radical, perament cure for dyspepsia
and indigestion. Many such pride
themselves on their acuteness in ever
being humbugged, especially in medi-
cines.
This fear OF being humbugged can
be carried too far, so far, in fact, that
many people suffer for years with weak
digestion rather than risk a little time
and money in faithfully testing the
claims made of a preparation so reli-
able and universally used as Stuart $
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one respect from
ordinary proprietary medicines for the
reason that they are not a secret patent
medicine, no secret Is made of their
ingredients, but analysis shows them
to contain the natural digestive fer
ments, pure aseptic pepsin, the diges-
q tive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth. hy-
drastis and nuX. They are not cathar-
tic, neither do they act powerfully on
any organ, but they cure Indigestion
on the common sense plan of digesting
food eaten thoroughly before it has
time to feTment, sour and cause the
mischief, This is the only secret of
their success
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure digestion and stomach
troubles because they act entirely on
the bowels. whereas the whole trouble
is really in the stomach.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken af-
ter meals digest the food. That is all
there is to IT,. Food not digested or
half digested Is poison, as It creates
gas, acidity, headaches, palpltation OF
the heart, loss of flesh and appetite
and many other troubles which are
often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
where at so cents per package, Ad-

BLEEDING THE POLICE.
New York Officers Are Asked to
Contribute to a Mysterious Fund
Governor Roosevelt Receives Let

Albany. N. Y, March 3O.-Governor
Roosevelt has received from several
, members of the police force of New
YORK city communications to the effect
that an assessment has been levied on
that department for some unknown
purpose. The governor made a state
ment to that effect tonight. He refused
to divulge the names of his correspond
ents or to permit the contents of their
communications to be published.
These letters, he said, We're princi-
pally from men who had been asked TO
contribute but who had not done so.
They have been received by him dur
ing the past two months. From what
he CLEANED from the letters the men of
the police force had been requested TO
contribute according to their rank. He
understands that the patrolmen were
assessed $40 and the roundsmen $l5 and
the sergeants and captains paid pro-
portiOnateIy.
Some of the men had been led to be-
lieve that the assessment was for some
benevolent purpose. Others did not
have the slightest idea of what il was
Ia be used for. The governor said that
none of the letters stated that the
money was to he sent to Albany for any
legislative purpose.
The governor further said that he
would not reveal the names of the
writers to any one. He said that he
had been asked to submit them To the
committee which will be appointed
under the resolution adopted by the
assembly to investigate the rumors

should not be divulged and he intends
to Keep his promise. He said that he

takes that position because he has no
way of protecting these men from con-
sequences which might arise as to their
standing in the police department. He
will give the committee, he said, what
information he possesses as basis
upon which to commence its work, but
its members cannot see the letters
which are in his possession or learn the
names Of their writer's.

PRECAUTIONARY MEAsUREs.-The
health authorities of the District of Co.
lumhia have virtually established 8
quarantine against both Hampton and
Ehoebus. An order has been issued to
the inspectors who board OF Alexandria
the incoming trains from the South, as
we'll as to those who inspect the POto
mac steamers and other craft, to detain
every person who comes from those
places unless clean bill of health can
be shown. Seven houses that are en-
tirely isolated and situated in the south.
east section of Washington are TO be
used as sort of detention camp. Any
one haiing from either Hampton or
Pnoebus will be taken from the train
tie moment tbe District line is reached.
The authoritit S think this is the safest
way TO guard against the introduction.
of the disease in Washington. No sus
picious cases have been discovered
within the past "a hours in Washing
ton city, but two suspects were report
ed yesterday. The authorities claim
that every possible precaution has been
taken against the introduction of the
disease into the city. 1t is reported
that a detention camp may be estab-
lshed st the south end OF the Long
bridge.
D.: Snowden, quarantine officer at
ibis port, is keeping strict lookout
unon ali persons who arrive here on the
Norfolk boats and those who come by
trains from that neighborhood.
The Mayor has instructed the 20
lice TO keep MIN advised Of any sus-
picious sickness in the city and will re-
sort to heroic measures to ward OF the
disease. He asks the cooperation of
all citizens 10 keeping their premises
clean.
The meeting of the Board of Health
called for yesterday was postponed till
today, the heavy storm preventing the
members from being present at the ap-
pointed time.
