Officially the military and naval authori-

recent experiments, but gather from pub

a very severe test, such as would not possi-

thirty miles, and some sent from wsrships

ROY ENGLIs CONVICTED.
He Is Sentenced by Judge KimbaIl
to Four Months I'm Jail

Roy II. NJ. Englis, who was arrested yes
terday afternoon by Detectives Helan and
Boyd on the complaint of Mr.. Rose Sena-
tor Burrows private secretary, and several
boarding house proprietors, whom. it is al
legged, he attempted to defraud, was placed
on trial before Judge Kimball in the Police
Court this morning
The specific charge placed against him
was vagrancy. being a suspicious charac-
ter. and being idle and disorderly, with no
visible means of support
Detective Helan testified that he arrested
Englis on an order from Inspector Board
man, who had received several complaints
against the man. He further said that
while in Philadelphia short time ago he
discovered picture Of Englis that had
been taken by the Trenton police when
Englis was arrested in that city.
Mrs. Barker, who keeps a boarding
house on Capitol Hill, testified that Englis
represented himself to her as Senator Bur
rows private secretary, and had engaged
board and room. He only remained there
a day and night, and that was the last
she had seen OF him.
Mrs. Fair, of 201 North Capitol Street,
and Mrs. Rainsford, of 721 East Capitol
Street, both testified that English secured
board from them without paying for it.
In each case he represented himself as
Senator Burrows private secretary.
When Judge Kimbaii asked Englis II he
had anything to say. Englis replied in the
negative. Later he said that he had made
all arrangements to leave town, if he were
allowed to do so.
Judge Kimball said that this was the
third time that Englis had been brought
before him. In the first two cases the evil
dence had not been sufficient to convict
him. but this time the Judge said the in
tention to defraud was clearly apparent
Englis was sentenced to pay fine Of $40
or serve four months in the workhouse
In default of the fine he was committed.

The Judge In = Dtlemm..

A Judge Of the old school. loving port wine
and hating trouble, is said to have once summed
up very complicated case in the following
terms: You have all heard the evidence; you
nave also heard what the learned counsel have
said. you believe what the counsel for the
plaintiff has told your verdict viii be for the
plaintiff; but il, on the other hand, you believe
what the tefendant's counsel has told you, then
you will give verdict for the defendant. But
if you are like me and don't believe what either
OF them has said, then I'll be hanged if I
know what you win do" This Judge was in a
dilemma, and when you are in similar iilem-
ma, and find it very difficult to decide what
brand of Heurich's beer you like best, it would
be advisable to telephone six-thirty four, Ariing
ton Botting Co. and they will gladly acauaint
you with the different brands.

DON'T! WOMEN.

Don't write to a woman, when the roof
leaks. Write to a carpenter. Don't
write to woman when the water pine
bursts. Write to plumber. Don't write
to woman when you are sick, write to a
doctor. But why such superhuous ad-
VICE? Simply to call attention to the
tact that women" who are not qualified
physicians offer medical advice, in adver
hse1nents worded in such a deceptive
manner that you are apt to overlook the
important fact that the woman is not a
physician.
The great success of DR.. R. v. Pierce.
IN treating and curing diseases of women
has led to limitations of his methods, es-
pec1ally his offer of free consultation
by letter to all sick women. At the head
OF the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stltute, OF Buffalo, N. Y, and with an ex-
Per1ence of over thirty years, DIR. Pierce
has achieved the position of the chief
OF specialists in the treatment of wom-
ans diseases. There is no living phy-
sician, male or female, who can show an
equal record of over half-a-million wom-
en- treated and ninety-eight per cent. of
cures. Write to the doctor. Your le%er
will be read in private, answered in pri-
vate and its statements held as sacredly
confidential. To assure the exclusion of
a third party from this correspondence,
every letter is sent sealed in a plain en-
velope, bearing no advertising or print
