"I suffered severely from nervous pros
tration, brought on me by two success
sive attacks of La Grippe. My appe-

greatly. DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine
was recommended to me by one of my

great benefit from it's use. 1 decided to

ton found myself improving after
taking the first few doses. My health

Victim of LaGrippe.
Left in most Serious Condition by that
Nerve Destroying Disease. Cured by
Dr.. Miles, Nervine.

In these days when so many ordinary
preparations are advertised, it is signif-
icant that DR.. Miles Restorative Ner-
vine stands alone as the one remedy of
all others that never fails to benefit the
weak, weary, nerVe-shattered, tired and
worn out victim of wasted vitality. In
every city in business offices counting
rooms and banks, in the homes of all
literally educated men and women
wherever the friction of worry is wear
ing out the nerves and reducing the vi
tality of the body, DR.. Miles Nervine is
received with open arms. Physicians
use it, and to clergymen, lawyers and
school teachers it is of untold value. 1t
invariably insures sound sleep, and
gives the overstrung nerves their nat
ural rest. 1t puts new life into the worn
out body, brings springiness back to
the step, brightness to the eyes, cheer
fulness to the mind. 1t should find it's
way into every family where some
member needs a general building up of
the body, a purifying of the blood and a
strengthening of tired nerves.

ONLY SIXTEEN MORE DAYS
Of the Legislative Session, and Most
of the Bills Won't Pass.

It was after 10 o'clock when the house
was called to order this morning by
Speaker Pro Tenn Benefiel but the roll
call developed the fact that there were
only 81 members present, two less than a
quorum
Instead of sending out and getting two
absentees, who could undoubtedly have
been found about the building the house
speedily voted in favor of a recess until
this afternoon.
There have been thus far introduced into
the house 755 bills, and each day is adding
to the number. In addition to these, a
large number of bills will come over from
the senate for action; There are now 50
bills the house calendar pending third
reading or ready for a final vote TIC be
taken on them There are 1872 more ready
for considerati ton in committee of the
whole, and all but six of them are general
bills, whose consideration will require con-
Sidera BILE time.
During the "a days that the house has
been in session it has, passed so bills. of
which 81 were local bills which have been
railroaded through. Probably 250 bills
have been turned down by committees.
There are only 16 more legislative days
of this session.

INDIGNITY TOADIPLOMAT
Portuguese Minister Snowballed by
Boys in Washington.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The minister
from Portugal has been SnOwballed by
small boys on the streets of Washing
ton and has complained to the state de-
partment The chief of police has is
sued the following general circular to
patrolmen on the subject:
Report comes from the state depart
ment again to the effect that members
of a foreign legation have received in
dignities at the hands of boys. In this
instance the boys snowbal1ed the min
lister from Portugal in the vicinity of
Connecticut avenue and NJ street. OR
course, boys do not select subjects for
this work but do their snowballing in
discriminatory. Attention is called to
previous circular on this subject.
The people of Washington by long
association with travellers from foreign
lands have become familiar with I'M
usual dress and manners and are gen.
orally respectful and polite to all
strangers. The members of the Chinese
legation, who wear the peculiar native
gowns, have occasionally been insulted,
but such an occurrence is unusual. The
secretary of state has offered apologies
TO the minister from Portugal, and has
assured him that inasmuch as he wore
nothing to indicate his rank the boys
could have meant no indignity to his
official position

FIRST CAUCUS.
Friends of C. j. Drew Discuss a Pla1
of Campaign.

There was a meeting Saturday night
of twenty-five of the friends of Coun-
Gilman Drew to discuss ways and means
for carrying on his campaign for the
mayOralty nomination.
Frank Snyder, who lives in the dry
district of the Fifth ward, was elected
chairman of the meeting and Rev. H.
H. Lucas of the First ward was Sec
rotary.
Mr.. Snyder said as he took charge of
the meeting: This fight has already
opened and we should not underesti-
mate the strength of the opposition
The water works company will spend
thousands of dollars, if necessary, to de-
feat Mr.. Drew, and money is already
flowing into the wards like water. We
will have to make this fight against
odds, for we have little money. Our
candidate is not rich and he has no
wealthy corporation behind him. But
believe that he will win. I don't believe
there is enough money in the United
States to carry this election in favor of
the water company, but we must be
Trojans for the success of Mr.. Drew
in this fight. If the people understand
the issue, and we must see that they
do, we will win the battle"
The meeting then resolved itself into
a conference to discuss plans of or
ganizatiOn. 1t was agreed that a care
full organization is necessary and a.
strong central organization was ia
vored Another meeting will be held in
a few days to further discuss plans.

ROW AT GARCIA'S FUNERAL
Kicked Up by the Cuban Generals
Over q Question of Precedence.


Havana, Feb. 13.-The feeling which
existed among the Cubans toward Gov
ernor General Brooke over the question
of precedence in the line of the funeral
procession of Gen. CaliXto Garcia on
Saturday has moderated very greatly,
owing to the explanations that have
been made, and most of the ill humor
now is directed against the Cuban gen
erals, who hastily took Offense where
none was intended and ordered the Gu
ban soldiers to leave and themselves re
tired The other generals are disposed
to blame Gen. Andrade for ordering the
soldiers not to march.
The leading generals and the mem
bers of the Cuban assembly, which IS
composed of military men, held meet
ing and debated the subject until z
o'clock Sunday morning. A number Of
strong speeches were made against the
Americans and it was decided to APP
point a commission to investigate the
occurrence and determine whether or
not the conduct of the governor general
constituted a. ground of OffenSe. The
commission will report on Tuesday next.
Senior Lanuza, secretary of justice
and public instruction in Gen. Brooke'S
advisory council, Senior Domingo Men
DEE CapOte, secretary of government in
the council, and Gen. Mario Menocal,
chief of police of Havana, who were
present at the meeting, talked of re-
signing their positions, and finally de-
cided not to do so then, because it
would be unpolitic and unpatriotic to
the United States military authorities.
Gen. Brooke was not informed by the
Washington authorities of the honors
he was to render to Gen. Garcia until
Friday, when, in response to an inquiry
cabled by him on the day before, he
was instructed to give the remains full
military funeral.
AS the mayor and city council had
already arranged and advertised an
elaborate programme, it seemed to the
military authorities unwiSe to destroy
the Cuban arrangements and make an
other programme conforming to the
United States regulations. Consequent
1y, as the Cubans had provided for
ample representation of the American
military General Brooke made no Sug-
geStions concerning his own place in the
procession, except at the palace, where,
instead of taking the first carriage af-
ter the casket, as proposed by the Gu
ban committee, he suggested that the
sons of Garcia should take the first car
riag e and he the second, which arrange
ment was agreed to.
The Cuban generals who, according
to the councils programme, were to fol-
low the American military, inquired of
General Lee, through Senior Lanuza, if
he had any objection to their going
ahead of him. General Lee said he had
no objection and the generals then tried
to get between the governor general
and his staff and were crowded out.
This occurred half hour after the pro-
| cession started, though only four or five
blocks from the palace, owing to the
frequent stops that were made. Seniors
Lanuza and Capote stayed to argue
with the generals and were left behind
but the secretaries of General Brooke's
council, Seniors Desperines and Yanez
era1 Brooke. Then came the mounted
staff

KENTUCKY BLOOD
Is Likely to Be Spilled Through ar
Army Row.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 13.-A special
from Admission, Ala, says:
A big row is on between Col. David
Colson and Lieut.. Ed. Scott of the
Fourth Kentucky, which is to be mus
tered out here. When and how it start
ed can not be ascertained, but it has
been on for some time and has been
growing until now it has reached SER
ious proportions. Lieut.. Scott has fig
ured in two court martia1s, and was also
re-examined recently as to his ability,
efficiency and fitness to hold office by a
board which recommended his dismiss
al. He went to Washington, however,
and had the finding overruled. Lieut..
Scott ascribes his trouble to Col. Col
son.
Lieut.. Scott on yesterday filed charges
against Col ColSon with the military
authorities here and sent copies to Col.
Colson and to the war department, al
Ieglng that Col. COlSon embezzled gov
eminent funds, melted the men of the
regiment to riot, lawlessness and dis
order against the people of Admission,
when they were mustered out, with
drunkenness on duty and with failing
to stop an orgie of commissioned Off
GERS of the regiment in camp in which
firearms were freely used and when he
was present. These charges have
caused a great deal of excitement in the
regiment, especially among the friends
of the two men.
Col. Colson is out in a two-column
card making very serious charges
against Scott, among them that he is
accustomed to telling stories in bar
rooms for drinks, and that his asso-
ciates are almost entirely among the
| vicious and criminal classes"
Scott will have card in the morning
paper charging Col. Colson with being
a congressional nonentity and with ma
| liciously classifying. Both men are
known to be fearless and serious trou-
BILE is anticipated. Colson is congress
man from the Eleventh Kentucky dis
| trict and Scott is prominent young at
torney of Lexington and a nephew of
Governor Bradley.

A HUGE SWINDLE.
Has Just Been Brought to Light in
New York

New York. Feb. 1.-Two women. a
been arrested here by United. States mar
shais, who say that the prisoners have
been engaged in an ingenious and ex-
tensive scheme for obtaining money by
one Of the most alluring advertisements
ever known to the authorities. The pris-
oners are William F. Skinner. manager of
the Sawyer Publishing company of Water
vile. Me-. who has an office in the Temple
Court building; Mrs. Viola H. Rae, the
proprietress of the Helen Marke company.
which advertiSeS to remove Sup2rfluo US
hair, and Mrs. Angie H: Wing, Mrs. Rae's
daughter. The Helen Marke company has
offices in the Presbyterian building.
The arrests were made on indictments
found by the federal grand jury in Maine.
The authorities say the prisoners formed
the, Fairfield Floral company of Maine d6H
They advertised extensively for persons
who wished an education for nothing to
send two twO-cent stamps. Then follow
ed elaborate system of plucking those
who answered the advertisement. Outfits
to make artificial flowers were sent them.
For a consideration material sold
them which the company agreed to buy
back when it was made into flowers. Some
victims, it is said, were let in for $40. A
man employed by the prisoners told the
postoffice authorities that the company
had received 265 900 letters.
The three were held in s., 600 each. Mrs.
Wing got bail, the others were locked up.
They will have a hearing today before
Commissioner Shields.

JOHN G. OTIS TOSSED.
1t Was Heads or Tails With a
Bull and Mr.. Otis Won.

Ex-Congressman ]. G. Otis had a
narrow escape Saturday afternoon from
being gored to death by an Infatuated
Jersey bull
Mr.Otis had just returned to his home
on Fifteenth street near the Shunga-
nunga, and was heavily bundled up. A
red muff1er around his neck attracted
the attention of the animal in the barn
yard that Mr.. Otis was passing through.
The bull began paving the ground. Mr..
Otis noticed him and ran for the fence,
but before he reached it the animal had
caught up with him and tossed him in
the air. Mr. Otis crawled along
on the ground towards the fence, the
bull repeatedly trying to gore him with
his horns Mr.. Otis heavy clothing
probably saved him from more serious
injury. He finally managed to climb
the fence and make his way to the
house. The Infatuated animal nearly
wrecked the fence.
Mr.Otis was badly bruised and large
black and blue spot under his left eye
shows how close the animals horns
came putting his eye out. Today he is
able to be around as usual and suffers
no inconvenience from his encounter.

CAMPS HOME BURNED.
Priceless Athletic Records and Tro
phies We're Destroyed.

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 1.-THE home
of Walter Camp football coach and writer.
at Savin Rock, was destroyed by fire last
evening. In the house were all Mr.:
Camps athletic, records, his trophies and
things, which to Mr.. Camp were priceless,
were destroyed.
The loss not only falls upon Mr.. Camp,
but also upon Yale, for Mr.. Camps ath-
letic collections contained much that was
intimately connected with the history of
sport at the university.
Mr.. Camp, for two years, has lived a
Savin Rock in a house known as the Morgan
cottage The residence caught fire about
o'clock in the afternoon. The house
a frame structure and stood on the
shore of the sound. A fierce in-shore wind
was blowing and the flames were famed
by it. There is only a bucket brigade al
Savin Rock, and it took this organization
half hour to turn out. By that time
the house was in ashes.
Mrs. Camp saved a few pieces of bric-a-
brac. The house was valued at 1000, but
this does not include Mr.. Camps loss.
