Habtual drunkenness was alleged against
Samuel Neal, colored. who was a prisoner
in the Police Court today.
Neal has been drunk so many times,
said Sergeant Ellsworth that he has be-
come a nuisance" ..rr.
The officer complained that Sam had
made frequent visits to the house of a wo-
man in Southeast Washington and rush
ed the growler.''
Sans opinion of his own conduct was at
variance with that of the officer, but the
court thought sixty days on the farm would
do him no harm.

CatarrGl

The cause exists in the blood, in
what causes inflammation of the mu-
COus membrane.
1t is therefore impossible to cure
the disease by local applications.
1t is positively dangerous to ne
glect it, because it always affects the
stomach and deranges the general
health, and is likely to develop into
consumption.
Many have been radically and permanently cured
by Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t cleanses the blood and
has peculiar Alternative and tonic effect. r.

catarrh three years. lost my appetite and could

CUPID DOESN'T DAWDLE.
Long Engagements Productive of Up
pleasant Difficulties.

Long engagements Productive OF UD
pleasant Difficulties.
1t is sometimes said in defense of
long engagements that their duration
enables people ito get to know each
other" But this is absurd. In the first
place, it takes lifetime for people to
get thoroughly acquainted with each
other, and in the second place, Edwin
and Angelina married are perfectly diff
ferent persons from Edward and Ange-
lima engaged. In the first state Edwin
fetches Angelina's slippers, in the Sec
ond Angelina fetches his. History af-
fords many instances of the evils OF
long engagements. Take, for instance,
the patriarch Jacob. He engaged him
self to Rachel for seven years. There
was apparently no reason for this de-
lay; it was spontaneous offer on
Jacobs part. What was the result?
When the seven years were over he
married the wrong woman! Had the
engagement been of reasonable length
say, three or four weeks-this I'M
fortunate contretemps could hardly
recent times, look at Paul and Virgin
ia. After more or less definite I'M
derstanding originating in infancy,
Virginia actually lost her life because
she was too shy to allow Paul to res
cue her from drowning before chang
ing her orbe-de-chambre for one of
her gowns she had purchased during
her tour in Europe. If they had
been married before going away from
their native island the difficulty which
caused that exaggerated diffidence
could hardly have arisen, and the ex-
the exquisite Virginia would probably
have lived to a green old age. One
more illustration of the evil of unduly
long engagements may be cited. Her.
cules Jones was engaged to Miss
Sabina Brown for IA years. There
was no special reason for so protract-
ed delay except that both persons
concerned felt they had plenty of leis-
ure before them. At the end of that
time Miss Browns two younger sis,
tiers had developed into beautiful wom-
anhood, while she herself was becom.
ing trifle passe. The unfortunate
Jones fell in love with both the young
er ladies, and, unable to solve the
problem of choosing between them and
his ancient love, he finally in desper-
alton married a girl of another fam
lily. Instances of the kind will doubt
less occur to every serious-thinking
person who has given due considera-
ton to so important subject-Phil
adelphia Inquirer.

Indications point to the closing OF

despite the assertions of officials Of
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal

A Strike without Violence.
With the exception OF a trivial in
Coal company, where a gang OF boys
compelled a mule driver to seek cover
by throwing stones at him, the contest
thus far has been devoid OF violence.
The exact number of men who
struck cannot at this time be told. as
only estimates Of the number of men
who did not start work were made.
Reports received by the United Mine
| Workers officials from the entire an
thracite region were to them satisfac-
tory. In this territory, known as Dis
trict No. 7, there are 10000 men en-
ployed In and about the mines. or

The present strike in the coal re-
gions of Pennsylvania is result OF
contention over the arbitration of
point in dispute between miners and
operators. The miners demanded an
increase in wages and the employers
refused. The miners then asked for
arbitration. This was not refused, but
its acceptance was delayed and the
strike was called. In the meantime
the price of hard coal has gone up
from Sc to 81 and may go as high as
SIS. The operators claim to have suf-
ficient coal on hand to supply the
winters demand. But the strike will
probably end in few weeks.
Many ugly rumors are being put in
circulation to the effect that the strik-
ers are being made the victims of Il
political trick by their leaders end
