alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters she is wonderfully i'm

In MEMORY OF HEROES
CORNER STONE OF SHAFT TO
ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.

FREDERICKSBURG, May 25.-On the
very ground over which the old Fifth
corps charged at Fredericksburg. Presi-
dent Mckinley, his cabinet and Gen.
Miles today witnessed the laying of the
corner stone in shaft which will per
petuate In bronze and granite the hero
ism Of the Army of the Potomac 1t
was an impressive ceremony, and rem
dered the more so by the fact that among
the hundreds who witnessed the event
were noted leaders of both the Federal
ana Confederate forces.
The monument was the personal gift
of Daniel Butterfield to the Memorial as
sociation. This In itself was a unique
feature, as the battlefield monuments
heretofore have been, mostly the gifts of
corporated societies or furnished by pop
ular subscriptions. Gen. Butterfeld him
self was present, and assisted in the
ceremony, but owing to Ill health the
commtttal of the monument to the sec
retary Of war was made by Col. Hill, one
of the veterans Of the Fifth corps. The
ceremony was with due Masonic rites,
and at its completion the secretary of
war accepted the gift in the name of
the American people
The visit of the president to Frede-
ricksburg was primarily in honor of the
annual reunion of the Army of the Po-
tomac The town was in gala dress, and
turned out en- masse to receive its dis
tinguished visitors. The president and
his cabinet were welcomed at the court
house, which was decorated with the
national colors, and the various corps
flags of the Army of the Potomac.
Welcoming speeches were made by
prominent veterans from both sides in
the civil war, and afterward the pres1-
dent held an informal reception at the
home of st. George r. Fitzhugh, where
he was welcomed by hundreds of the
townfolk, both white and colored.

REGULAR ST. LOUIS RIOT
ANOTHER NAME ADDED TO LONG
LIST OF WOUNDED.

ST. LOUIS, May 25.-Sympathizers of
the striking street car men were again
the medium Of a riotous demonstration
today, and as a result another name was
added to the long list Of wounded This
afternoon as a car on the Jefferson ave
nue. line, running south, approached Sui
Ivan avenue, it was attacked by a crowd
Of men and boys. Several shots We're
fired at the car. The policemen on board
the car returned the fire, and in all about
10G shots were exchanged. Peter Wells,
q patrolman, who was riding on the front
platform, was hit in the left armpit the
bullet producing an ugly wound. Wells
remained on the car until ii reached the
Ninth district police station. He was
taken to the home Of physicians and sur
geons, where his wound was dressed. 1t
IS not known who fired the shot, as the
crowd scattered as soon as the men on
the car drew their revolvers.
1t was rumored that two men in the
crowd we're shot, but they could not be
found by the police. A riot call was sent
to the Fifth district police station, but
when the police arrived the crowd had
dispersed.
The differences existing between the
management of the st. Louis and Subur-
ban Railway comrany and the union men
in the employ, were satisfactorily adjust"
ed this afternoon, and all danger or
another strike has been averted, at least
for the present.

LIQUOR IN THEIR HOSIERY
MRS. LAKE SAYS MANY WORKING
GIRLS CARRY WHISKY THERE.

THE LIQUOR habit is decreasing among
the men, but it is increasing among wo-
men, said Mrs. Leonora NJ Lake in
her lecture on temperance last evening
at st. Mary's hall. Mrs Lake was in
troduced by Father Gibbons, of St.
Mary's church, and spoke for over an
hour, her subject being ''Why I Am a
Total Abstainer" The lecturer stated that
one reason why more men were total
abstainers now was because their bust
ness interests demanded it. Many bust
ness concerns refused to employ a man
unless they had sufficient proof that he
never touched liquor in any form. On
the other hand, many firms that employ
women complain, said Mrs. Lake, that
their employees bring liquor to their
work with them. A man at the head of
a large factory informed the lecturer
that it was not uncommon for girls to
bring bottles of whisky with them to
the factory hidden away in their stock
ings.
Mrs. Lakes lecture was addressed to
women especially last evening and she
told her listeners what they might ac-
complish in a practical way for the cause
of temperance She will speak Sunday
night at Saltwater.
