Collect Certain Fees.

Justice Cole, in a decision Yesterday
in connection with the settlement of the
estate OF Annie Northcutt deceased, sus-
tanned Register of Wills Dent in his con-
tention that he has power to collect fees
due the Office prior to the date of his an.
pointment thereto
The matter came up on the answer to
rule to show cause issued against Jo-
seph Shillington and Edwin Forrest. ad-
Illustrators of the Northcutt estate. re-
curing them to explain why they decl ned

wis. The matter was argued some time
ago in the Probate Court Mr. Dent max
ing an argument in support of the posi-
tlon he had taken, and Mr.. Forrest, rep
resentihg the administrators. The ad-
illustrators contended that the fees due
IN The case were in The nature of personal
accounts with the Register, and that the
Justice presiding i'll the Orphans Court
was without power to enforce their pay
ment. Justice Cole held that the fees due
IN such case were funds of the United
States, and that the court had power to
enforce this payment by any means used
In equity proceedings.
In conclusion Justice Cole stated that
the costs of the hearing should not be
taxed against Messrs. Shillington and For
rest. but that in similar proceedings in
the future the costs will be taxed against
administrators personally.

MIR. PHILLIPS ACQUITTED.
Not Guilty of the Charges brought
Against Him.

NEW YORK. Nov. samuel A. Phil
lips, the advertising man. has been ac-
quilted of all completely in various frauds
alleged to have been committed against
the Barrios Diamond Company.
Some time ago Mr.. Phillips entered the
employ of George Hastings. an adyertis-
ing agent, who had the placing of the
advertising for the Barrios Company and
the Vim Mariani Company. One day Mr..
Hastings failed to appear at his Office
and he continued to remain away. Then
many publishers who had carried the coca
wine and cut-glass crystals announce
ments pressed their claims Mr.. Phillips
said he was innocent of any knowledge
that Hastings real game was to swinile
the publishers. He moved to Offices up on
Broa iway and continued to place Vim
Mariani announcements by arrangements
with Mr.. Jaros. relative Of NJ. Mariani,
but had trouble with Mr.. Goldsoll. of the
diamond company.
There have been many charges and coun-
ter-charges. Mr.. Phillips appears to have
come out on top after each battle Re-
Gently he was arrested for completely in
the Hastings fraudulent failure and was
acquitted. A little later he was pulled
into court for opening letter addressed
to Goldsoll's clerk, yet again acquitted.
His last appearance was in answer to five
charging him with stealing
money from the Barros Diamond Com
pany. Mr.. Phillips, In defence, said he
had paid the money received from the Bar
rios Diamond Company into the concern of
Hastings Co.. and that he did mt hold
It himself as alleged. The jury acquitted
him.
In the mean time, Mr.. Phillips is going
ahead on substantial basis in his bust
ness and those who know him say that he
has been badly abused.

NO RIGHT RO:EzHRA PAY
Another Paris Exposition Account
Disailowed.
Ruling of the Comptroller of the
Treasury on the 'Subsistence" Bill
of II Naval officer Assigned to Duty
With the American Burenu-
Entitled to Regular Pay Only.

Another bill from the American Bureau
agement of Commissioner General Ferdl-
nand Peck, has been disallowed by the
Comptroller of the Treasury. The bill is
for $225. which Mr.. Peck ordered paid from,
Government funds to Lieutenant Comman-
der A. C. Baker, of the navy. Lieutenant Ba-
ker was detailed to attend the Paris Expo
sition. Mr.. Peck decided that the officer
ought TO be granted extra remuneration
and accordingly ordered payment to him Of
subsistence account for three months
at SIS a month.
The bill attracted the attention of Mr.
Fred. Bracket. the discussing agent Of
the American bureau at the Exposition.
Mr.. Bracket submitted the account to the
Comptroller of the Treasury The latter
official has made a ruling in which he
says:
1t is clearly established that officers of
the army and navy. who may be detailed
Tor duty in any civilian capacity, are en-
titled to the same pay and allowances as
when in the discharge of their regular
duties, and to no more. unless a specific
exception is made by statute. Unless,
therefore, the account Lieutenant
Baker's) is one for actual expenses of
travel under orders, it cannot be paid, and
the order of the commissioner general,
which purpoTts to allow it, is without eff
feet.
Il have not a copy OF the order assign
ing Lieutenant Baker to duty with the
Exposition Commission. but 1t would seem
that while he was on duty in Paris he
was as fully assigned to station at that
point as any other naval officer who might
be detached from his regular duties and
assigned to foreign station, and that his
connection with the commission does not
give him any right to pay or allowances
beyond these proper to his rank in the
navy"

MILITIA OFFICERS, CLUB.
An Organization Proposed for Social
and other Purposes.

uuu iurVOses.
About twenty-five officers OF the National
Guard Of the District met last night in the
parlors of the National Guard Armory and
took preliminary steps for the formation
OF what will be known as the "Oficers'
Club Of the District of Columbia National
Guard" Major Lee and Colonel Urell made
speeches, in which they outlined the object
OF the call. They stated that the organiza-
ton as contemplated should have for its
purpose the promotion of social and friend
ly intercourse between officers of the Ma
tional Guard, the improvement OF military
knowledge. and discussion of matters per-
tanning to the guard in general.
Another feature OF the new organiza-
ton will be its Social side Dances, recep-
tions, theatricals, and other social func-
tions will be instituted to solidify the
guard. 1t was also stated that when in
corporated the new organization will have
handsomely fitted up headquarters in some
convenient place in the city. where mem
bers and their families may come together
and spend pleasant evening. ,r- TO- =
The project was received with great en-
thusiasm and it seemed to be the desire
of those present to at once set to work
to accomplish it. Col. NJ. Emmett Urell
was elected temporary president, Lieut..
COL b. H. R0sS vice president, Major Lee
secretary, and Captain Robbins treasurer.
The following committee was appointed to
frame suitable constitution and bylaws:
Major Simms. Major Lee, Major Stephan.
Major Brooks, and Dr. Forster. On the
committee on membership were appointed:
Captain Robbins, Captain House, Capt W.
l. h. King. Captain Tomlinson, and Chap
lain Myer. The committee on finance con-
sists of Captain Yea, Captain Sweigart
Lieutenant Mattingly. Lieutenant Mussey
and Lieutenant Brummette The above
named gentlemen are all officers Of the
District of Columbia National Guard. which
was represented by its five battalion com
manders and commanders of both regi-
ments. as well as its brigade staff.
1t is not intended, however, to conline the
membership of the Guard Officers Club"
to officers OF the military organizations of
this city. Officers of the Maryland and
Virginia National Guard and ex-officers of
the home guard will be permitted to join
the organization.
After lengthy discussion of the project
the meeting adjourned until Monday. No.
yember 10.

WHAT CAUSES DEAFNESS.
The Principal Cause Ii Durable But
Generally Overlooked

Many things may cause deafness. and
very oftenit is difficult to trace a cause.
some people inherit deafness. Acute dis
eases like scarlet fever sometimes cause
deafness. But by far the most common
cause of loss of hearing is catarrh of the
head and throat.
A prominent specialist on ear troubles
gives as his opinion that nine out of ten
cases Of deafness is traced to throat
trouble; this is probably overstated, but
1t is certainly true that more than half Of
all cases of poor hearing were caused by
catarrh.
The catarrhal secretion in the nose and
throat finds its way into the Eustachian
tube and by ciogging 1t up very soon af
fects the hearing and the hardening of the
secretion makes the loss of hearing per-
manent. unless the catarrh which caused
the trouble is cured.
Those who are hard Of hearing may
think this little far fetched, but anyone
at all observant must have noticed how a
hard cold in the head will affect the hear
ing and that catarrh If long neglected
will certainly impair the sense of hear
ing and ultimately cause deafness.
II the nose and throat are kept clear
and free from the unhealthy secretions of
catarrh, the hearing will at once greatly
improve and anyone suffering from deaf
ness and catarrh can satisfy themselves
on this point by using fifty cent box of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new catarrh
cure, which in the past year has won the
of thousands Of catarrh sufferers
as we'll as physicians, because it is in
form to use, contains no CO.
caine or opiate and is as safe and pleas
ant for children as for their elders.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets Is wholesome
Of Blood Root, GuaiacoI. Eu-
and similar antiseptics and they
cure catarrh and catarrhal deafness By
action upon the blood and mucous men,
brane of the nose and throat.
AS one physician aptly expresses it:
you do not have to draw upon the i'm
agination to discover whether you are
getting benefit from Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets. Improvement and relief are apparent
from the first tablet taken"
All druggists sell and recommend them.
They cost but fifty cents for full sized
package and any eatarrh sufferer who has
wasted time and money on sprays, salves,
and powders will appreciate to the full
the merit of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets.

NO CLASS DISTINCTION.
Sentiment i'm Mckinley's Letter to
the Late william l.. Strong.

NEW YORK. Nov. "A letter from
L. Strong, who was President of the Bust
ness Mems Republican and Sound Money
Association, which has charge CT the pa
rade tomorrow, was received at headq ar
tiers this morning, and there opened by
Secretary Drake. The letter is as fol-
lows:
Canton, Ohio, Nov 1. 1900.
My Dear MIR. Strong: Public duty will
not permit me to accept the invitation to
review the parade on November Of the
organizations composing the Business
Mems Republican Sound Money Associa
ton.
Il recall the inspiring demonstration Of
four years ago and rejoice that now, with
undiminished ranks. citizens of all par
ties are in line for national honor. pub
lie law. sound currency. and industrial
prosperity, and, as in 1895, are arrayed
against those who are melting class
hatred and discomfort among people of
our happy country.
I'VE know no class distinctions in this
fair land of ours.
THE American people will permit no
stain to be put upon the American name.
May those marching freemen and their
patriotic allies throughout the country
stamp out for all time in this Republic
the evils of reputation and dishoner
Very sincerely yours,
WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
Hon. William L. Strong, President Bust
ness Mems Sound Money Association.
New York"
This letter was turned over to the ex-
ecutive committee, at meeting Of which
suggestion was made that the words,
I'VE know no class distinction in this fair
land of ours be placed upon a banner
and the banner displayed in a conspicu-
GUS place along the line of march. The
suggestion was adopted, and the banner
will be suspended tomorrow morning en-
Fifth Avenue, between two reviewing
stands. The following telegram was sent
to the President:
1.-THE Committee on Grands.ands OF the
Business Mems Republican and Sound
Money Association on Saturday will have
your memorable words. We know no
class distinction In this fair land CT our s.
floating over 100000 business men, who
without coercion will swing past the
grandstands for Mckinley and victory"
So far as the parade itself is concerned,
everything that can be done to make 1t
success has been done. The grand marshal
and the officers of the association have
worked hard for three weeks perfecting
their plans, and there is no reason why
everything should not go smoothly. The
original route. the one followed by the
parade Of 1896. will be adhered to-
The two official stands in Madison Square
will be covered with the national colors
and will also be strung with electric lights
of red, white. and blue. so that the square
will be Illuminated for the marchers who
will not get along until after dusk. On the
back Of the east stand will be the names
Mckinley and Roosevelt" in letters Of fire.
The finishing touches were put on Broad
way today and when the sound money
parade moves along it tomorrow it will
pass through a veritable bower of the ma
tional colors.
