AN OBJECT LESSON
IN A RESTAURANT,

physician puts the query: Have you never
noticed in any large restaurant at lunch dinner
time the large number of hearty, vigorous old men
at the tables; men whose ages from 80 to sc
years; many Of them bald and all perhaps gray,
but none Of them feeble or senile3
Perhaps the spectacle is common as to have
escaped your observation comment but never
theless 1t 10 an object Lesson which means some.
thing
If you will notice what these hearty old fellows
are eating you will observe that they are not
munchng bran crackers nor gingerly picking theiI
way through a menu card Of new tangled health
foods; on the contrary, they seem to prefer juicy
roast Of beef, properly turned lon of mutton and
even the deadly broiled lobster is not altogether
ignored.
The point of all this Is that vigorous old age
depends upon good digestion and plenty Of whole
some food and not upon dieting and an endeavor
to live upon bran crackers.
There is a certain class Of food cranks who seem
to believe that meat, coffee and many other good
things are rank posons, but these cadaverous sick
ly looking individuals q walking condemnation
of their own theories.
The matter in nutshell ia that II the stomach
secretes the natural digestive juices in sufficient
quantity any wholesome food will be promptly dI.
gested; If the stomach does not do So and certain
foods cause distress one two of sStuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets after each meal will remove all
difficulty because they supply just what every weak
stomach lacks, pepsn, hydro-chlorc acid distastes
and nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act upon the
bowels. and in fact, are not strictly medicine
as they act almost entirely upon the food eaten
digesting it thoroughly and thus gives a much
needed rest and giving an appetite for the next
meal.
OF people who travel nine out of ten use Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, knowing them to be perfectly
safe to at any time and also having found out
by experience that they a safeguard against
Indigestion in any form, and eating as they have
to, at all hours and all kinds of food the travelling
public for years have pinned their faith to Suarts
Tablets.
All druggists sell them at 30 cents for full-sized
packages. and any druggist from Maine to Call.
fornia, II his opinion were asked, will say that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most popular
and successful remedy for any stomach trouble.

The Uneven Herdic Transfer System

The Uneven Herdic Transfer System.
To the Editor of The Evening Star;
Wednesday I witnessed a poor woman in
serious trouble at the corner of H and 18th
streets by reason of the refusal of the her
die transfer agent at that point to give her
a transfer that would put her on a car at
G and 14th streets. Now, passengers from
the east at G and Nth streets can be trans
ferred to the Metropolitan road and then
at H and 18th streets to the herdic. But
this does not work to a passenger going
east who starts in a herdic for his or her
journey.
The woman referred to had two small
children with her, which she had brought in
to see some physician. Getting a transfer
from the G street road that took her on
the Metropolitan to H and 18th streets and
then to the herdic, she supposed that her
return trip would be made In the same way
When she found out her mistake she was,
of course. in deep trouble, several miles
from home with an infant in her arms and
two-and-a- -half-year- boy by the hand
ble and learning that she had no fare to
pay on another road, gave her ticket and
explained to her where to go and get the
q street road
This uneven and deceiving arrangement
should be corrected in some way A ticket
or scent piece that will take a man or wo-
man from BladenSburg to Washington
ought to do the same for the man or wo-
man VINO wishes to go, or return, from
Washington to Bladensburg This should
be corrected, unless there is some great
financial other embarrassment involved

ORMSBY TRIAL BEGUN.
Charged With the Murder of Charles
Galway,

The case of Charles j. Ormsby, indicted
for the murder of Charles Golway, early
the morning of Sunday, the 10th of last
November, was called for trial today be-
fore Justice Clabaugh, in Criminal Court
No. 1. The regular panel was exhausted
before jury was secured and therefore
an adjournment was ordered until tomor-
row morning at 10 o'clock. In the mean
time the marshal will summon forty addi-
tional talesmen. The defendant is repre-
sented by Attorney T. l.. Jeffords. while
the prosecution Is in the hands of Messrs.
Thomas c. Taylor and Jesse G. Adkins. as
sistant United States attorneys for the
District of Columbia.
Ormsby has been on bail in the sum of
So 600 since the time of his arrest. 1t Is
understood the government will not insist
on conviction of an offense more serious
than manslaughter.
1t is stated that very early the morning
of November 10 a fight occurred in front
of the New National Theater between two
men, named Barnes and Carr, respectively.
Ormsby, IT is charged by the government,
took a hand and attempted to assault
Barnes. Golway then appeared as a peace
maker. The prosecution contends that
Ormsby struck Golway a blow on the chin.
Golway fell, and. striking his head on the
pavement, sustained a fracture of the
skull He died at the Emergency Hospital
within two hours.

Police FavOritism


To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I noticed in Tuesdays Star commune
cation from James Roache, in which he
says: us 1t possible that favoritism, re-
gardless of conditions is practiced by our
police department, and the confessed crimi-
nal treated with greater consideration than
the innocent suspect?' 1 wish to inform
your correspondent as well as your read
ers, that such is the condition of affairs at
Rockville, since Monday afternoon, when
the young men, Griffin and Dennison, who
have confessed their connection with the
death of A. A. Johnson, who received his
deathbiow at Cabin John bridge on the
18th instant, were brought here by Deputy
Gather. The young men were committed
to the custody of the sheriff, but have not
been near the county Jail. On the after
noon and the following night of their ar
rival here they were playing pool and bill
Eards at the Corcoran Hotel. They are
under charge of Deputy Gather at that
house. They walk about the street smoking
and are seemingly enjoying life and lib
erty, not being handicapped by the con-
unual presence Of an officer.
With this and other little acts of our
officers, especially when the judge, accord
ing to a statement of Deputy Gather,
makes statement that they have no au-
thority to close up the Cabin John Hotel,
at least one of Montgomerys citizens has
come to the conclusion that there is some
thing rotten in Denmark.

PROF. NEwCoMB GETS RELIEF.
His Intirmity Overcome by a Surgical
Operation.

Prof Simon Newcomb is able to do with
out the use of crutches, the result of an
operation recently performed at Johns Hop
kins Hospital, Baltimore, by DIR. Llewellyn
Barker and DIR. Gushing. AS the many
friends in this city of the distinguished
scientist are aware Prof. Newcomb has
been obliged for some years past to use
crutches in walking, he suffered great
pain whenever any weight was placed on
his limbs.
Recently he underwent an examination
at the hospital, and the doctors reached
the conclusion that the lameness was due
to diseased nerve. 1t was stated that
the trouble could be overcome. and an
operation was decided upon. The cuta-
neouS nerve of the front of the thigh was
removed. and in ten days Prof. Newcomb
was able to walk about the hospital. Sun
day he was able to walk half mile and to
go up and down stairs without inconve-
nience. Leaving his crutches at the hos
pital last Sunday he took steamer a Bal
tinlOre and went to Boston. 1t is believed
the cure is a permanent one.
