Apt Quotations.

Proverbs, axioms and wise sayings
have been uttered by Oonfucius and
other wise men from time immemorial,
but few people realize how many there
are Of them. @. I. Hood & Co., of Sarsa-
parilla fame, have over two thousand
and they have originated the ingenious
plan Of serving them up in delectable
shape in thousands Of newspapers, with
each one neatly turning point as to the
merit of their well known medicine.
The extensive use Of these proverbs is
original and creditable to Hood & 90.

KIDNEYS AND BLADDER.
The kidneys and bladder are the great
blood purifiers of the system, as they
carry off the effete and poisonous matter
that would otherwise clog and vitiate
the whole economy. When these or
gans are impaired direful results soon
follow. Hyour urine is highly colored,
milky or very clear and watery If it
passed often or with pain if it is too
scant or too abundant; if it casts sed.
iment Of white, ropy or brick dust ap.
peazance if you have pains in the back;
do not neglect these warnings of ap-
preaching danger. The France System
of Treatment cures all disorders result
ing from deranged kidneys and bladder
by restoring these organs to the perfor.
nance of their proper functions, thus
eliminating disease from the system by
natures own process.

A Coal Dealers Statement.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 the Eultor OF Inc Evening Star:
In view of the very erroneous public opin-
ion that the late blizzard was a financial
blessing to the coal dealers, and especially
OF that portion of public opinion which is to
the effect that the larger dealers took ad-
vantage of the necessitous conditions in Or
der to demand unreasonable profits, / hope
you Will allow me space enough to dissi-
pate that impression. Grand and commend
able as were the efforts of private individ-
uals In donating and of the charitable or
CARNATIONS (and among these The Star it
SELF must be lncluded) in distributing these
sacrifices We're insignificant compared with
the hardsh1ps and financial losses suffered
by me coal merchants The recurrence of
such conditions prevailed during the biz
Zard would not have to happen often be-
fore the supposed blessing to the coal deal
erS would De SHOWN to be a very disastrous
misfortune. II any money was made at all
by the coal merchants it must have been
conhned TO the very small dealers, for l am
sure That lost heavily, AID I believe that
AN lhe larger dealers suffered in proportion
10 the amount of coal delivered under the
adverse conditions then prevailing. So far
as my frm is concerned, l did not accept
any order for more than four bushels from
Saturday the 18th instant, to Monday, the
10th instant So far from accepting such
orders, l declined even 10 entertain them
at any price. There were occasions on
which l could have demanded and received
from rich people an incredible price for de-
livering full ton My Seiephbne and my
stenographer were kept busy all the time
In declining to give any quotations for
quantities of more than four btlshels in any
one day to any one family For the most
or the week it was impossible to deliver coal
even at 80 cents a busKel without losing
money on every order. This was the price
l charged 10 everybody who was not in con-
tract with me and who did not have an
order In with me at the time the blizzard
came on. L am satisfied that / cleared no
money on those transactions. To such GUS
toners as were In contract with me and to
such others as had orders on my books at
the time the blizzard arrived no one will
nave to pay more than % cents per bushei,
while the great majority of these will not
nave the bushei deliveries entered against
them at all. the bushel deliveries during the
blizzard being deducted from the ultimate
oehvery: so far as delivering coal at so
cents a bushel is concerned, could not do
1t without loss at less price, and told
all of the people who complained of the
price that it would be a favor to me if they
could get along without it.
While speaking only for myself, think !
can truthfully say that all the large coal
dealers lost heavily during the blizzard.

HIS CHARACTER AssAILED.
Colored Man Objects to Being Called
Desperate.

A colored man who had figured in an as
sault case, tried in the Police Court yes
terday, and to whom the police referred as
a Desperate called on Prosecuting Attor-
ney Pugh today and asked for legal in
formation concerning the definition of
"desperado."
"A desperado," said the prosecuting at
torney, '-is & bad man; a man who will
carry weapons and kill people, but he must
be a man who has money in his pocket"
well, 1 amt got very much money in
my pocket, and don't carry any weapons
except q pocket knife said the colored
man Il thought a desperate was man
who wore a handkerchief about his neck
as you do. What 1 want is to make the
police prove my character"
Tho seeker after information said he
would like to prosecute the policeman for
giving him such q name. He said he was
willing to spend all the money he had on
the case, for he certainly did want to make
them prove his character.

and swept in mighty food over the lower
portions of the city, entailing damage to
the amount of thousands of dollars. The ID
of June was the day, and the beautiful Sab
bath was turned into a day of excitement
and despair. The flood came here close
upon the heels of the Johnstown disaster.
No lives Were lost here. but property was
swept away ard the floating debris told of
the destruction along the course CT the
river.
The flood was caused by the unprecedent-
ed rains During May the precipitation was
Ill inches, and the tributaries of the Po-
tomac poured an immense volume into the
already swollen river. For several days
it had been expected. Reports from differ
ent points along the river gave evidence of
a rapid rise of the waters, and some mer-
chants took time by the forelock and saved
their goods. Others land there were many
of this class trusted to luck and lost for

FAKGNA PARK.
Meeting of the Citizens Association
Monday Evening.


Monday Evening.
The Citizens Association of Takoma Park
held its monthly meeting Monday night
at Takoma Hall, presided over by Mr.. W.
G. Plat. The principal topic of discussion
was the entertainment to be given tomor-
row evening in celebration of Wasbington's
birthday, and it is anticipated by the
membership that the affair will be equally
as successful as the celebrations previously
given at the park.
The ladies of the entertainment commit
tee, Mesdames l.. NJ. Mooers, II. Query, H.
J. Long, j. B. Kinnear and c. NJ. Heaton,
have secured Representative s. NJ. Clark to
make the Grafton and arranged a very at
tractive program, TO be begun at 7:45 D. m.
The music for the occasion will consist
principally of local talent
The committee on streets and sidewalks
was instructed by the association TO make
careful inspection Of ihe park and as
certain the amount OF danger done by the
recent storm
A report was made by the committee Oh
schools.
Quite a deal of time was taken up in re-
lation to the proposed peace carnival, TO
be held in Washington, and it is not def
nitely decided whether or not TakoIna will
take part

the food of 1889 was the greatest Wash

struction than all the preceding ones COM
bined
The greatest damage occurred along the
river front, where wharf property was al
most entirely destroyed and shipping para
lyzed Sail boats and small river craft
were swept into the angry waters and were
sent hurrying away to be lost to their
owners. Saturday night the big Analostan
boat house went to pieces al the Long
bridge.
ResembIed Venice.
Washington looked like Venice in the
lower levels that Sunday, and the presence
of row boats along Pennsylvania avenue as
high up as 18th street was one Of the
sights thousands will never forget. The
street cars were compelled to suspend OPP
erations, and the Pennsylvania railroad
tracks Were submerged throughout its city
route. The depot was so full of water that
a reporter of The Star rowed his boat easily
through the door, and made fast to the
stairway.
The railroad officials were most concerned
about the Long Bridge, which threatened to
break from its foundations and settle a
Vexed question itself. There were several
jams along the west side of the bridge,
caused by the floating doris. Thousands
of people watched the angry flood from the
structure. The railroad people, TO make the
bridge more secure, ran upon il several big
loaded freight trains. But the flood did
not carry away the old structure, that has
