an epistle that she will doubtless treas
ure for many years to come. IL Is in
the shape Of letter from no less per-
sonage than Admiral Dewey.
Miss Rudolph IS firm believer iu
lucky tokens and of thon all none
holds so high place as tho four loaf
clover. Two years ago, wildcat Viii
mineton, she found q particularly fine
specimen, which she carefully preserved.
vi during the war with Spain Miss
Rudolph followed tho movements Of the
American navy closely, paying especial
attention to the Asiatic squadron under
command Of Commodore Dewey. Per-
haps NO one in all Philadelphia was
more delighted over tho magnificent
work of tho fleet in putting the Span
ish squadron out of business. During
tho Peace Jubilee Miss Rudolph hap.
pened to think of her four leaf clover.

Seems as if consumption always picks
out the brightest and best. Fully one
sixth of all the deaths that occur in
the world are caused by consumption.
Many things were once considered
impossible. 1t would be strange If
medical science did not make some
progress. The telegraph and telephone,
the monograph, the electric light-all
were once impossible, and bnce it wus
impossible to cure consumption. That
was before the time of DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Taken ac-
cording to directions, this standard
remedy will cure 9S per cent of all
cases of consumption. Consumption
is caused and fostered by impurity in
the blood. 1t is cured by purity and
richness in the blood surely, certainly
cured by the medical Discovery. 1"
1t builds up solid healthy flesh and
vigorous strength.

HOW WE HAVE "GRowEo."

Boulder Public Schools Show an Increase
of 100 Students.
This week it has been Casey at the
bat" Reference is here made to Will.
lam V. Casey. the able superintendent
of school district No. which comprises
Boulder and little on the edges. 1t
has been great week for Casey as he
has successfully calculated how a school
room with capacity of 50 students may
be made to hold 100. But he has been
compelled to do it by arranging two
schools for each teacher in the same
grades. one in the forenoon and one in
the afternoon. This was only temper.
airy makeshift, but it was the best that
could be done under the circumstances
The first weeks attendance last year
was 1000, this year, IIso and last year
the grade rooms were crowded. For in.
stance this year Mrs. Bush had u kids
raise their right hands and Mrs. Fowler
looked out over a sea of 81 willing and
anxious faces. Two to a seat. Boul.
der's school population is 1876 and a
material increase IN the attendance may
be expected after summer work and
summer outings are all over with.
What is the school board going TO do
about it?

The ladies of the society for entertain.
ment of THE returning soldiers, assisted
by other ladies and yonng ladies galore,
netted quite little sum for the purpose
named by serving ice cream and cake on
court house lawn last night They had not
prepared for large crowd and in con.
sequence hundreds went away without
patronizing the tables. The lawn had
been thoroughly wet down shortly before
the affair began and that had further
tendency to drive people away. The
Boulder band, under Professor Crosby,
discoursed some quite lively music and
temporary electric globes and Chinese
lanterns lent brillinncy to the occasion.
Sales OF cream aggregated about $40.

Newport News, Va. Jan. 31.-A we'll
known Norfolk man, who was in the
city last night for a good time. was rob
bed in Barton's Theatre. according to
his statement. of n solid gold watch and
chain. valued al 800. Later he got rid of
about $50 and had q borrowed revolver
stolen from him.
James Crossley was arrested this
morning by Officers Glddings and
O'IIara on the charge of being respon-
sible for the disappearance of the re-
volver, and later Dick Davis was taken
into custody 10 answer to the charpe
of stealing the gold watch and chain.
This afternoon Mir. Crossley was ad-
mittcd to bail.
The Norfolk visitor, as he tells the
story, was pretty well "boozed" when
he visited Barton's Theatre last night
and took seat in one of the boxes.
Jack Davis. 1t is claimed, was In the
box with the man, and was seen To-
leave hastily during the performance.
When the Norfokian left the box after
the show he discovered that his watch
and chain was gone. He at once repair
ed to one of the Twenty-third street 81
looms and borrowed Il revolver, deposit
ing sum of money, probably ten times
the weapons value. for its safe return
How much money he had left he does
not remember but he left the saloon
with the revolver and some money.
Later in the night the revolver was
stolen from his person he claims. and
what little money he had left was also
gone when he started to add himself
up"
This morning the unlucky visitor re-
ported the theft to police headquarters.
He could not remember just where he
borrowed the revolver, and it is very
probable that some one received about
500 for 1t.
The man does not accuse young Cross
ley with taking his money or his watch.
but he does lay the disappearance of
the revolver at his door. This morning
he swore out warrant for the young

to custody.
The police who were at work on the
case this morning obtained information
which they believe will make 1t pretty
troublesome for Jack Davis.
The officers this morning recovered
the revolver.
NEW STEAMSHIP LINE.
1t is stated on good authority that
another steamship line will be estab-
hshed to operate regularly from this
port. According to the information re-
ceived the line will ply between New
port News and Havre or Rouen.
This will be the only steamship line
running to French port from Newport
News. Very frequently chartered ships
load cargoeS hereffor France, but there
is no regularity about the sailings of
the ships and no import cargoes are
brought in directly from France.

twenty-five years, not uncomely, but
possessing an unenviable reputation,
died at o'clock this morning in Orr

1t WAS n clear case of suicide-the
usual course the women of her class
take when they get in fits of despon-

OF A VIRGINIA CON
CHEESEMAN'S WIFE.
(New York WORLDLY

Washington. Jan. 2i.-Claude \.
Swanson. n Democrat, who represents
the Fifth Virginia district, can thank
his wife for the fact that he was not
ousted from his seat In the House last
week. 1t was contested by John Il.
Brown, Republican, and the commit
tee made report favoring the cOntes-
tee. When Chairman Crumpacker call
ed the case up in the House he cX-
pected to see speedy disposition of
the question and the Republican sworn
in. Greatly to his surprise the House
by vote of 12S to 10. refused to con
slider the case when the question OF
consideration was raised.
Mr.. Swanson is personally popular
with many Republicans, but Mrs
Swanson Is very much more popular
with the wives OF Republican members
and each OF these wives thought ii n
shame for Mrs. Swanson to be thus
compelled TO leave Washington socie-
ty. Party loyalty might whip the Re
publicans into line. but the appeals OF
Republican wives could not be so cas-
lily set aside.
Mrs. Swanson is n very bright and
cheerful little woman. and u general
favorite. She is not political" woman
however. or n woman in politics" in
any sense. She is just bright and cheer
full. and makes everyone about her
bright and cheerful. Naturally the wife
of every Republican Congressman who
knew Mrs. Swanson was Il Jealous par
tiZan of Representative Swanson.
There was a considerable display of
the comiCal side of politics the day the
vote was taken. Republicans lodged
and fed to the cloakrooms or the lob
bies, and failed utterly to hear their
names when called. At that particular
moment the restaurant did a rushing
business. for Republicans who had been
coached by their wives and who did
not care to go on record as voting to
keep n Democrat in his seat seized any
old excuse 10 get out of the hearing OF
the tally clerk. SO it happens in the
Congressional set that everybody and
wife.
