NUISANCE REMEpIED.
The DlsasreeabIe odor on Shrewsbury
Street Is Lessened.

DtFNNI 10 NV9oNVFNNs
Supt. of Sewers H. p. Eddy has
placed close fitting covers over the
manholes in the Shrewsbury street
sewer. The stencil Is done away to con-
siderable extent, but whether the gas
will be forced back into the houses re-
mains to be determined. Several loads
of gravel and ashes have been placed to
good advantage in the swamp land in
the vicinity with the idea Of filling in
the swampy section and doing away
with the odor that might come from
the swamp. Supt. Eddy is fully con-
WINGED that the only permanent means
of getting around the difficulty Is to
repair the sewer, and this action will
probably be taken.

SENT FREE TO MEN.
Geo B. Wright Was Restored to Health and Makes Gen

case to every reader Of The Times who Is
suffering today. All who will write him a
letter asking for a copy of the prescription
will receive 1t by return mail free Of any
charge whatever.
Mr.. Wright says no one can appreciate
the horrors of lost manhood except he has
suffered them. Nosone can help such SUI
ferers unless he knows a cure and has him
self been restored to full manhood. Mr..
Wright's case was an extreme case. He
suffered for many years He saw his physi-
cal powers go from him as the result Of in
sidious disease until he was reduced to a
condition Of senility, and the best doctors
in the country gavenhim up to die.
He asserts that his ten years suffering,
both mentally and physically, was turned
to unbounded Joy in single night through
a rare combination of medicines that liter
ally made him young again. 1t Is the pre-
scription Of this discovery that his enthu-
siasm leads him to offer free to any man.
young or old. who feels that his animation
or the fire of ambition has left him and
needs something that will not only brace
him up and enable him to be prepared for
any undertaking which may present itself,
but will restore the parts to their original
size and vigor.
There is no question but what in his in
dividual case the results were just as de-
scribed. and 1t seems quite probable that
any man who believes himself to be weak
may profit by sending for this free pre-
scription. Many people wonder how he can
afford to send this prescription free. but it
costs him little to do SO, and he feels a
philanthropic interest in giving weak men
an opportunity to cure themselves.

CROWDS BEGIN TO ARRIVE.
Hotels and Boarding Houses ThrOng
ed With Winter Guests.

Gu Win Wlnter Suests.
The best evidence that Washington is to
have an unusually lively and busy winter
is the fact that the crowds which come
with the latter part Of November and early
in December have already put in an ap-
pearance in the city. The boarding house
keepers who look after the small army OF
followers who come with the meeting of
Congress, say they don't remember when
the season was so far advanced as the
present. Rooms not usually engaged until
the last of November are now taken for
the season, and many OF the people here
are spending their first season at the Ma
tional Capital. With the hotels and apart
ment houses this is what is termed the dull
season, and the managers expect but little
business, but this year they are almost
as busy as when Congress is in session.
OF course, this pleases the hotel men and
the boarding house keepers, and the real es-
tate agents. who are having NO trouble IN
renting desirable houses for the winter,
but it is likely to cause some little trouble
TO the people who wait till the last of No
vember before engaging quarters for the
winter. Unless there is a check of the in
flow of visitors who are here to spend
the season, those who come year In and
year out to remain while Congress is in
session will find that to obtain accommo-
dations they must move out from the bet
ter parts of the city.
manager OF one OF the leading apart
ment houses said to a Times reporter that
business was unusually brisk foI this time
OF year. THE fact is" said he, "the city
is growing too fas, for the builders. and
then the rise in the price of all building
material here caused builders to postpone
the erection of houses that would have been
ready for occupancy this fall. The apart
ment house has proved good investment
for the owner. and IL the price OF building
material is not too high next year l an
ticipate the erection OF several fine ones.
/ should not be surprised to see an ad-
vance in rents this winter because the
demand for desirable rooms will be greater
than the supply. There is every indication
that Washington will be comfortably
crowded this winter. The variety of leg
islation Congress will be called upon to
consider and the many interests concerned
will necessarily attract large numbers. In
deed the early indications are for a most
prosperous season.

GRAIN PRODUCTS IN FRANCE.
Russian Low Figures an Obstacle tG
American Imports,


American Imports.
Robert P. Skinner. United States Consul
at Marseilles. has sent to the State De-
partment report on the grain situation
in France. Mr.. Skinner says. THE French
wheat crop may be described as very good.
1t is, in fact, reported by the government
to be somewhat larger than last years
abundant harvest. But for the fact that
Marseilles and the surrounding district al
ways require certain kinds of foreign
grain, France would have enough wheat
for domestic consumption.
This year comparatively little Ameri-
can wheat has been imported to Marseilles,
prices being held too high as compared
with Russian figures. Only stray lot now
and then found occasional purchasers. II,
however. the United States has, at reason
able prices. such qualities as are rare in
Russia this year-that is, the glutinous
variety-a good trade will be done next
summer. Unfortunately. so the French
houses state, American exporters expect
people to buy everything on faith. A good
many qualities grown in the United States
are not known here and are not represent
ed even by sample.
American corn sold pretty we'll up to
six weeks ago. but now prices are reported
to be entirely out of reach. If. however,
and 1t is confidently expected to happen
the French chambers vote the admission
temporaire'-that is, allow corn to enter
and go to the mills in bond, as does wheat
American white corn particularly will come
into favor again. as it can be employed
for sundry mixing purposes.
Heavy quantities OF American oats were
brought here two months ago, as the
French crop was reported to be short and
the Algerian crop very bad. But consump-
ton, for unknown reasons. is very slow,
SO that sharp decline has taken place in
values. This is thought to be only tenn
porary."

PREFERRED DEATH TO CAPTURE
A Reform school Runaway Jumps
Into n Raceway.


NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-While trying to
escape from the guards sent in pursuit of
him, after he had run away from the Re-
