VETERAN IN BAD CONDITION,
Found by Pension Examiner Il
SGualOr and Wretchedness.

In the midst Of absolute squalor, sur
rounded by filth; in one corner of a stable,
Francis Mann, an old pensioner, was found
this morning by pension office examiners.
He was in an awful condition. Later he
was removed to Providence Hospital.
The story of this helpless pensioner is
that he was a private in Company E, 10Th
United States Infantry, during the civil
war. Several years ago he became par
alyZed and came to Washington to see
about a pension. He finally gravitated to
soldiers boarding house. where he was
found this morning.
Recently application was made in his be-
half for an increase of pension and the
evidence was such as to claim the personal
attention of Commissioner Evans who di-
rected Examiner Roberts to make special
investigation and report. This was done
today. The story is best told in the ex-
amner'S own words:
My directions carried me to Sherman
avenue near 7th street. 1 represented my
self as a doctor sent to examine a pen
sioner for increase. l was piloted through
the house into the yard. Here a stable
was located and l was told the pensioner
was in there. Away over in one corner 1
found the old pensioner. He was in little
bed alive with vermin. There were no bed
clothes, and the poor old soldier was forced
to sleep in his clothes, which were changed
but once each week.
There was another bed in the room
which j was told was occupied by the man
who looked after the soldier. A few nights
ago he was drunk and the veteran fell out
of bed and lay on the floor all night. There
is one small wood stove In the place. but
it was not sufficient to keep the room
warm. The old soldier told me he wanted
to leave.
Absolutely helpless, he was dependent
entirely upon the assistance of Others He
told me he had not received one penny
from the government for two years. and
he draws a pension of $50 per month You
have no idea of the poverty and filth that
surrounded the old fellow.
Through the courtesy of Lieutenant
Kenny of the eighth precinct two officers
accompanied me, in case of trouble. But
there was none, and we took the old fell
low away and finally located him at Proyi-
dence Hospital. l presume his case will be
further investigated

DREDGING THE POTOMAC.
Slow Progress in Virginia Channel
Above Long Bridge.

According to Colonel Allen, the engineer
officer In charge, a NJ. Clegg, the con-
tractor for the work, is making slow prog
ress in dredging operations in the Virginia
channel above Long bridge, notwithstand-
ing the weather has been favorable for the
work. He says the dredging plant fire.
quently gets out of order, and much Time
is lost in repairing it. Only 15,441 cubic
yards of material We're dredged from the
channel during the past month, as against
5000 cubic yards required by the con-
tract.
Rittenhouse Moore of Mobile, Ala, who
has been awarded the contract for dredg-
ing in the Potomac below Washington, tas
notified Colonel Allen that he will not be-
gin work before the spring sets in. His
contract calls for the dredging Of channels
in the Potomac river so as to secure depths
of twenty-four feet and Widths IF 30 feet
through the following named bars below
the city of Washington: Mattawoman
shoal, Smith Point shoals, Maryland Point
shoal and Kettlebottom shoals. This dredg-
ing is to be done under continuing con-
tract at a cost not to exceed S116,o00.

NEW DISCOVERY, But NOT PATENT

MEDICINE.
DIR. Redwell relates an interesting account of
what he considers remarkable case of acute
stomach trouble and chronic dyspepsia by the use
of the new discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: THE patient man who had suf-
fered, to my knowledge, for years with dyspepsia
Everything he tie seemed to sour and create gases
In the stomach. He had pains like rheumatism in
the back, shoulder blades and limbs fullness and
distress after eating, poor appetite and loss of
flesh; the heart became affected, causing paIpita-
ton and sleeplessness at night.
Il gave him powerful nerve tonics and blood
remedies, but to no purpose As an experiment I
finally bought Il 50-cent package of Stuart's Dvs
pepsia Tablets at a drug store and gave them to
him. Almost immediate relief was given, and
after he had used four boxes he was to all appear
apces fully cured
ings no bloating after meals, the appetite was
vigorous and he has gained between 10 and 10
pounds in weight of solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adver
tised and sold in drug stores yet consider them
a most valuable addition to any physicians line
of remedies, as they perfectly harmless and
can be given to children invalids or in any cop
dition of the stomach with perfect safety being
harmless and containing nothing but fruit and
vegetable essences, pure pepsin and Golden Seal.

chiefs attitude or conduct in the case
which has caused the disbarment pro-
ceedings TO be instituted against the

his intention to enter on general prac-
tice down town" For the present at

Don't Like Manila.

Nachinist Cordray, who was here
with the I. S. Gunboat Benning-
ton. is a passenger aboard the SoIace.
Cordray had but a few months to serve
when he left this port, and has now re-
ceived his discharge and is on the way
10 his home in Portland, Ore, where
his brother has the popular theater of
the town, in which the navy man is
also interested. Cordray and a number
of men with him give the judgment
that the Philippines are not ripe yet
with opportunities for white men, and
have at present many quite pronounc-
ed drawbacks. COrdray speaks in
glowing terms of the work OF the navy
about Manila and IlOilo. He says the
FilipinOs are in the deadHest terror of
the big guns aboard the ships. Cord
ray reports Nanderveer. Harry Flint

get back to Honolulu.
