why Women Are Nervous,
From the British Medical News.


The frequent cases of nervous prostration
or utter collapse of the nervous system
under which women ''go all to pieces" as
the saying Is, have caused much thought
and investigation on the part of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are well
kl OWE to cause various forms of nervous
diseases, which are readily traced to the
poisons producing them. Further research
leads to the belief that alum is prevailing
cause of so-called nervous prostration, for
the symptoms 1t produces on the nervous
system after it's absorption into the blood
are very remarkable indeed. Experiments
physiologically made upon animals by Or
fila, Professors Hans Mayer, Paul Seim and
others show that alum frequently produces
no visible symptoms for many days after
it's introduction into the body. Then follow
less of appetite and other alimentary dis
turbances, and finally serious prostration
of the whole nervous system. The most
prominent physicians now believe that ''ner-
vous prostration'' and many affections of
the nerves from which both men and wo-
men suffer are caused by the continued alb
sorptton of alum into the system.
1t is probable that many medical men are
unaware of the extent to which salts of
aiumina may be introduced into the body
being under the impression that the use
of alum in bread is prohibited. Alum, how
extent to whtten bread and very largely in
| making cheap kinds of baking powder. In
families where baking powder Is generally
used great care should be exercised to pro-
cure only those brands made from cream of
| tartar. The alum powders may generally
| be distinguished by the lower price at which
! they are sold.

VIOLATING EDMuNDs LAW.
Couple in Court Today to Answer the
Charge.

Harry E. Lawson and Ada Formeyer,
the former twenty-five years old. and the
latter six years his junior. were before
Judge Scott today, charged with having
violated the Edmunds law. As the young
man has wife and child living he was

fense under the law.
In May, 1894, Lawson was married. He

came infatuated with her instructor. Dur

wife several times and made life so mis-
cradle for her that she had him arrested.
After causing his arrest she forgave MIN
and withdrew the charges. She nnally LETT
him, however and returned to her parents.
Evidence given in court today showed
that six months ago Harry and Ada rented
a room at 81 Missouri avenue, where they
lived as man and wife.
Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny investi-
gated the charges this morning before
Judge Scott was called upon TO pass on
the question of guilt or innocence lie did
not care to prosecute Ada, and advised her
to return to her parents. She was ADVISED,
1t is said, to leave the court ana go home'
but instead of taking this advice she re-
manned, and Prosecuting Attorney MulloW-
ny filed a charge against her
Lawson was held in $500 security Tor the
action of the grand jury. Miss Formeyer

Assessment.

Mr.. James F. Barbour recently requested
the District Commissioners to allow him to
pay an assessment made in January, 1896,
for sewer upon lots Is and 16, square 800,

J. w. Daniel, special assessment clerk of
the District, to whom the matter was re-
ferred, has informed the Commissioners
that there is no record in his office of the
alleged assessment.
Mr.. Barbour based his request on the fol-
lowing grounds: First, because the ASSESS
nient was improperly served; second, be-
had been for some time, in his name, he
being in the city, with place Of business
and residence, as shown by the city direc-
tory, and, third, because Mr.. John A. Ham
iiton, on whom the notice is supposed to
have been served, having no interest in the
property, doubtless mislaid or failed to

EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY.
Special Easter Service at Ninth Street
Christian Church.

This Ninth Street Christian Church. on
Capitol Hiil will celebrate its eighth BIRTH
day anniversary Easter Sunday and re-
ceiye the new converts gained during the
special meetings which have been held the
past four weeks. These meetings, it is said,
have resulted in one hundred additions to
the church, and it is expected the services
Sunday will be of an unusually interesting
character.
April 5, 1891, about sixty members of
the Vermont Avenue Christian Church and
their friends met in modest little chapel
which had just been erected at the corner
of 9th and D streets northeast. Rev. e.
B. Bagby, an evangelist of Virginia,
preached the dedicatory sermon that day
and followed with a revival service, which
resulted in over one hundred additions to
the church Tho growth of the congrega-
ton since is spoken of as phenomenal.
During the eight years OF its existence it
has received eight hundred and twelve per-
sons into membership and now has six
hundred and fifty names upon the church
roll. With the addition of the new men,
bers gained during the recent revival, the
church will be numerically one of the larg-
est Protestant churches in the city,
The church quickly oatgrew the chapel,
opened In 1891, and in May, 1898. magnifi-
cent house Of worship, costing $4,000, was
dedicated.
The auditorium ofsthis new building will
accommodate nearly one thousand people.
During the past month it has been taxed to
its utmost capacity. The revival beginning
March focused the spiritual impressions
of the Chapman meetings, which had just
closed. The attendance was increased
by the solos Of Prof. c. E. Millard, sing
ing evangelist of Maysvflle, Mo-, illustrated
by the use of a stereopticon.
Rev. E. b. Bagby, who for eight years
has been the pastor of this church, has lad
the services, preaching during the month
- I'm no ,.-x l.
in four days there were forty-four addi-
tions. The services have been so success
full that the official board decided to con-
tinue the meeting next week. The last
evening, Friday, April Z, will be devoted
principally to an Illustrated song service,
and will be in the nature of a testimonial
to the pastor of the church.
