From the New Orleans Times Democrat
AN advertiser has to stick to the truth
in South America said a representative Of
large shipping concern.
Il know that seems incredible, but it's alb
soiutely so. Some years ago a dealer in
New Orleans sent assorted lot of patent
medicines to an American agent at Santa
go, Chile. Among the stuff was lot OF
toothache drops. which were warranted on
the bottle to cure the worst case of tooth
ache in ten minutes. Here nobody would
take such an assertion seriously but down
there it's different. The first who
bought a bottle made immediate appli-
cation and then pulled out his watch.
When ten minutes elapsed and the tooth
calmly continued to ache he was furious
and at once had the agent arrested. The
poor fellow was fined 81 900 and sentenced
to three months in jail
Through the efforts of the American con-
sui the Imprisonment was knocked off. but
he had to pay The fine, and 1t broke him up
in business. That story is absolutely true.

Andrew A. Lipscomb and Richard r.
Beall of Washington. and Anderson &
Bouic of Rockville, as attorneys for Mrs
Grace f. D. Sprigg of Garrett Park, today
filed suit in the circuit court here against
Mr. Paleman H. Dorsett also of Garrett
Park, for $4,000 damages. Both parties to
the suit are prominent. The declaration
alleges that July 6, 1899, Mr.. Dorset ap-
peared before Justice A. C. Scheirer at
Rockville, and made oath to the charge
that the plaintiff, Grace E. d. Sprigg did
unlawfully maintain a cesspool. privy sink
and filth depository within the limits OF
Garrett Park; that by reason of the afore-
said oath warrant was issued for the ar
rest of plaintiff. and in obedience thereto
she appeared before Justice Scherer and
demanded Il hearing and trial. The demand
was refused, and August IL, 1899. set for
the hearing; that on August II plaintiff, by
her counsel, appeared before Justice Scheir-
er and offered to stand trial, but as the de-
PENDANT or no other state witness appeared
the charge was dismissed.
The declaration further alleges that the
charge was wholly false and that defend
ant knew the charge to be false when he
made it,

The store of W. w. Welsh, near the B.

bed of about $25 worth of knives, razors,
shoes and other articles. Entrance was
gained by smashing the large plate glass
in the doors with stone. The damage to
the door amounted to about $40. The rob-
berry was probably committed by boys.
Suspicion points to two unknown colored
lads who were seen in the locality of the
store at late hour Thursday night.

DUE TO AMERICAN aUICKsEss.
Reason why England Lost Contracts
i'm tht, SSudaa.

Major Gordon. chief Purchasing agent OF
the British war office, has been interviewed
in London respecting the Pittsburg con-
tracts for cars for the Soudan railroad. He
said: ...-
THE result of the work on the Atbara
bridge was marvellous, and I have no hesi-
tation in saying we can go to the Amer
leans for a lesson in efficient and speedy
construction 1t is all moonshine about
time proving British construction and ma
terial better than American. We know the
articles we accept.n There is no lack of
patriotism about US.
The sirdar wants the Soudan railway
thoroughly equipped and working four
months hence. There is no parleying with
the Americans. They are quick to recognize
all possibilities. accept on the nail and
produce on time.
These orders would have been kept in
England, even at higher initial cost, but
II We cannot get the things done, so, per-
force, We go elsewhere. At present there
are thirty-three Soudan orders placed in
England With the finish of the Khartoum
railway we can say that the Angio-Ameri-
can union in the Saudan has produced the
quickest and best result In engineering
known to the army"

more than d 1 to 0 game. Two out of three

The Senators are up against the real

BEING ERECTED.
Handsomely Polished Crane

COOLING PROCESS IN BASEMENT
An Elaborate fair That Has Been Secured
to Take the Place of the Old Water
Tank That Stood In the
Corner.

A fine marble drinking fountain is
being placed in the court house cori-
dors to replace the huge tank. The
old tank was we'll patronized by persons
the court house and by
school children who after school-hours
came in droves for glass OF ice cold
water. 1t was at these times that the
floor in the vicinity of the tank became
wet. The commissioners decided to
erect suitable fountain in place OF the
old tank and this is being done. A
heavy marble slab supported by a col
umn of solid marble has been placed
between the two heavy marble columns
near the elevator. Polished crane
necks pour forth pure cold water. The
water Is cooled by an ice box arrange
ment in the cellar. The marble slab is
corrugated, the gooves deepening into
the centre where a drain pipe will
carry all the waste water into the
aawar
