CURRENT EVENTS
In NGEORGETOWN
CITIZENS FILE A PROTEST
Residents of n Street Object 10 the
Proposed ROute of the Ten
Ieytoyyn Road.

A petition protesting against the pas
sage of the bill in Congress which gives
the TeRleytown Railroad the right of way
along y Street was yesterday sent TO the
Commissioners. The petition has been in
circulation since the bill was introduced in
the House the first of last week. 1t is un-
derstood that nearly all of the property
owners and residents along the proposed
route signed the petition. The protest is
made on the grounds that the street is too
narrow for either a single or double track
road. and that there are only two streets
between NJ and p which are not occupied
by car tracks The petitioners are of the
opinion that a few streets should be left
unoecupied by rapid transit cars. The
Commissioners as yet have not replied to
the petition.

rated Monday night at the Gay Street Dap-

WOMAN'S SENTIMENTS.
They Are Little Understood by Men, but They Cause Her
Untold Happiness Misery.

The girl of today is the mother of future
generations. Humanity is absolutely de-
pendent for it's continuance and preserva-
tion on the knowledge and stamina and
health of women. Woman's lot and her
relations to the world are such as to de-
serve a great deal more attention and con-
sideration from science than she has yet
received.
The American race of women in particu-
lar has questions to settle that are much
more important than the extension of the
suffrage to women or the enactment of
national divorce law.
Why is it that there are so many feeble
and sickly women all over the land? Why
is that not an average of over one child
is born to American women? Why is it
that hundreds of thousands of American
men will not marry at all?
Have you ever thought of these things?
1t is because disease is striking at the
very root of the American race. 1t is be-
cause most diseases can trace their cause
to one source, viz. troubles of the kidneys
and adjacent organs
The kidneys are the great organs of the
body, but this is little realized or under
stood. healthy, happy woman, with good
complexion good appetite and hopeful
spirits never has diseased kidneys The
same is true of men.
But kidney disease is so deceitful, so
treacherous. so strange in its approaches
that it often steals into the body and de-
ceives the victim before he is aware
is known that it can positively be cured,
and the female organs, and that is Warmers

Certainly; ask 1t Of you
Then walt"
Capel drew back as the old gentle
man proceeded to fold the will and lay
1t with other papers In the tin box,
while Ramo, standing alone In the
gloom with folded arms, and appar-
emily seeing nothing, but observing
very motion, hearing almost every
word, noticed that Gerard Arts was
watching the disposition Of the will,
his hungry looks seeming to devour 1t
as he felt that he would like to de-
stroy 1t on the spot.
Ramo noted, too, that Paul Capel
took step or two toward where Ka-
trine was talking eagerly to Artls,
Then he hesitated, and turned off to
where Lydia sat alone.
She too had been watching Paul
GapePs actions; and now that he
armed to her she seemed to shrink
back In her seat. as If his coming
troubled her.

pei she said, rather coldly.
Thank you," he said with a sigh
and she saw him glance in the dlrec-
ton of Katrine.

that we will now proceed to fulfill
The next part of my instructions.
There was a sharp click heard here

little tin box, and Gerard Arts watch
cd him, thinking what a little there
was between him and the obnoxious
will.
Miss D'Enghien, Miss Lawrence,
will you kindly follow me? Ramo,

1t was like going from one gloom
into another far deeper, as the door
was thrown open, and Rasno led the
way along the short, wide passage,
bearing silver candle-stick, whose
light played softly on the great
stained window when he stopped. and
illuminated the bronze club of the
centaur, still raised to strike.
The eyes of Gerard Artis were fixed
upon the tin box containing the will;
the keen look Of Katrlne D'Enghien
on the old Indian servant, as he took
a key from his cummerbund. while
PGIl Capel gazed, with his soul in his
glance, on Katrlne. ignorant that,
with spirit sinking lower and lower,
I.ydiA was watching him.
The solicitor gave n glance around
full OF solemnity and awe, as If to
ask We're all ready. Then, as If sat

The Indian raised the candlestick
tbove his head, softly thrust in the
key, turned it, and threw open the
door, when once more, from the dark
ness within, the strange aromatic odor
hoated forth.
