Mr.. w. J. Juengert, 1oa Lam
don St.. Buffalo, N. r., tells how
he was cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. He says:
about one year ago I was suf-
fering a great deal with kidney
trouble, and the terrible pains
which I experienced in the small
of my back almost incapacitated
me for work. I tried wearing
plasters but they did me no good
whatever. In connection with this
kidney trouble ! was subject to
chronic headaches. Twas advised
to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. I did so and soon
noticed a great Improvement, after
continuing their use for several
months all traces of the kidney
trouble disappeared and the head
aches became less frequent.

vile, and his father came back On the
next train. That night late, the Doc
tor came home. Witness heard him
down stairs all night, and was afraid
to go out of her room.
The following day was Sunday. The
Doctor went to his fathers room, had
a talk, and came down stairs saying
he had the "old man" where he want
ed him, and that he had given him all
his property. He seemed to be in a
good humor during the remainder of
the day.
Witness then went to Mr.. Ewing and
told him something would have to be
done, as the Doctor was crazy. DR..
Meyers had advised her to have some
thing done. Mr.. Ewing promised to
attend to it. The next time she saw
her son he was in Jail.
The cross-examination of Mrs. His
som was conducted by Mr.. Schuck.
This examination brought a state
ment from witness that the Doctor had
torn and crushed a picture of his
father, and had also broken vases and
stamped them on the floor.
Witness said the Doctor had threat
ened to kill all the family, and they
were afraid of him.
She was asked to explain why she
was afraid of her son at times, and
did not fear him at other times.
Witness replied she was alawys
afraid of him when he got those
terrible mad SPELLS" She said money
was daily subject of conversation at
her home when the Doctor was there.
She said the Doctor wanted her to
drive her husband from the house, sell
the property and go South where the
Doctor could get practice, and witness
could live like lady.
A letter was produced. which Mrs.
Hissom admitted to have been written

THE CHISHOLM VERDICT.
The Accused National Guard Officer
Restored to Duty

Capt ID. V. Chisholm. commanding the
Morton Cadets. who was tried by court
martial on the charge Of conduct unbecom-
Ing an officer and a gentleman. has been
acquitted by the court although the find
iugs were disapproyed by the reviewing
officer The commandant Of he District Of
Columbia militia, in strong endorsement
upon the back OF the papers which were
presented to him for action.
II was generally believed that the Of

offence upon the proof that was in hand.

aston to visit this battle ground ana found
that the monument is being badly mu-

well submits The word appliance means a
thing used in connection with something
already in existence and a careful reading
Of the appropriations made for the Fire
Department for many years seems to show
that the word must be so constructed.
Since 1850 the Comptroller explains. the
approximation acts have each year con-
tanned a specification for repairs to ap-
paratus and new appliances and yet
these same acts contain numerous special
appropriations for the purchase Of new en-
gines. trucks. and hose carriages. Ar.
TraceweII admits that in many cases the
amount provided for the new apparatus is
in excess Of that specified for repairs and
appliances but in many cases authority Is
given TO purchase a hose carriage or a
chemical engine at a price within the
amount OF that appropriation.
From these facts the Comptroller de-
duces the conclusion that fl appears to
have been the intention Of Congress from
the beginning 10 provide specifically FOR
any increase Of the Fire Department in the
way Of new engines or apparatus. This be-
lief is strengthened. ne says. by the fact
hat for several years past appropriations
for steam engines. chemical engines,
trucks and hose carriages have been placed
by Congress under specific sub-head OF
appropriations for the increase OF the
Fire Department
Furthermore it IS asserted that appro-
priations for these objects have been sup
plemented by specific provision for places
10 house and force 10 man the additional
apparatus.
Basing his judgment on these views Of
the meaning OF he appropriation acts, the
Comptroller Of the Treasury rules that
there is no authority permitting the pur-
chase OF the chemical engine for Cleveland
Park from funds now in hand.
This view Of the case being entertained
at the Treasury Department. the hands Of
the Commissioners are eifectually tied
against providing the apparatus desired by
the citizens Of Cleveland Park.
