VALUABLE OLD PAPERS.

bacco warehouse OF colonial period. have
come to light. and amongst other curiosi-
ties the venre of the juries of I77S.

Important Witness For scblev.

Niles Andersen, quartermaster in the
navy, now attached to the battleship
Kearsarge, will be an important witness
before the Schley court of inquiry. An
dersen was the man who steered the
Brooklyn during her race after the Colon
and is supposed to remember all the i'm
portant orders given by Capt. F. A.
Cook, through his navigator, Lieut.. A.
c. Hodgson. His testimony is expected
to clearly bring out what actual orders
were given when the loop was made and
whether the Brooklyn swung from the
beginning of the loop with the helm hard
aport. If the helm was hard over she
would have described the shortest posi-
BILE turn and not have gone in a south
erly direction, away from the Spanish
ships, as has been claimed by those who
criticise the tactical movement. Ander-
sens name has been added to the list of
witnesses summoned and orders will be
issued him to remain until he is called on
at the home station.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervating days. when,
as somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke, as il the Day OF Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with danger
to people whose systems are poorly sus-
tanned; and this leads us to say, in the
interest of the less robust OF our readers,
that the full effect OF Hoods Sarsaparilla
is such as to suggest the propriety of call
ing this medicine something besides a
blood purifier and tonic,-say, sustain
ing diet. 1t makes it much easier to bear
the heat, assures refreshing sleep, and
will without any doubt avert much sick
ness at this time of year.

Deceptive Melons.

There is no vegetable or fruit pur-
chased at the market that is more de-
ceptive, or that more money is wasted
upon than the canteloups and water
melon.
The melons look good. and the seller
of course guarantees them. The pur-
chaser buys basket of canteloupes. and
when he gets home and they are cut they
are worthless. The same is true OF water
melons. Unlike corn. tomotoes and pota-
toes which are always what the purchas-
er buys them for. and a fair exchange
for his money, canteloupes and water
melons are deception and snare. and
the purchasers money is thrown away
nine times cut of ten.

A Dangerous Spot.

In years gone by there was pump on
Conduit street in front of the City Hotel
barracks. The pump was removed, the
well fitted up with old brick bats and
dirt, but OF late the sidewalk over the
place where the old well used to be has
been sinking in. until now there is per-
ceptible no low just in front OF the house
occupied by MIR. r. G.. Elliott Conduit
street. After each rain the pavement
appears to sink, and a cave in may oc
cur at any time. The spot is a danger
Gus one, and the matter should be looked
into by the street commissioner before
some serious accident occurs.

The Special Providence Scheme May Not
Work

There is said to be special Provi-
dence for fools, drunken men and chill
dren, but accidents will happen to each
OF these classes sometimes. The children
about town have taken fancy to climb
ing upon the Mack bricks piled on the
streets for paving purposes. This is a
very dangerous procedure, and should a
few of the bricks give way the whole pile
would fall and badly injure the venture
some child. A child in Washington was
killed last week by pile of lumber fall
ing upon him that he had yentured to
climb upon. The Annapolis children
need to be warned OF the danger OF walk
ing on these piles of bricks.

Haarthnrn

Wheh the quantity of food taken is too
large or the quality too rich, heartburn is
likely to follow, and especially so if the
digestion has been weakened by consti-
patton. Eat slowly and not too freely of
easily digested food. Masticate the food
thoroughly. Let six hours elapse between
meals and when you feel fullness and
weight in the region OF the stomach alter
eating, indicating that you have eaten too
much, take one of Chamberlain Stom-
ach and Liver Tablets and the heartburn
may be avoided. For sale by Feldmeyer

WILL WAIT A YEAR.

on the free list articles competing with

"a year from now the Republican

that thus early the chairman Of the Re.
publican congressional committee intro
duced this bill The steel industries OF
this country have grown up and been
developed under favoring Republican
legislation. The infant has become so
big that II threatens to turn on the peo-
Die. The billions now being combined
to control this industry make the $780,
100000 capital of the standard Oil COM
pany pale into insignincance. The only
thing we can now do is to let the devel-
oped industry stand alone, and allow
the people to buy their steel where
they please.

A GOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE
About "Blood Purifiers" ami "Tonics.

Every drop of blood, every bone,

renewed In but one way. and that Is,
from wholesome food properly digest

idea that medicine in itself can
purify the blood or supply new tis-
sues and strong nerves is ridiculous
and on par with the fol-de-rol that
dyspepsia or indigestion Is germ
disease or that other fallacy. that a
weak stomach which refuses to digest
food can be made to do so, by irri-
tating and inhaming the bowels by
pills and cathartics.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure in
digestion, sour stomach, gas and bloat-

the digestive principles which weak
stomachs lack, and unless the def

After Those Who Did II.

II Is because resolutions adopted by
their respective associations that no

not been observed by all the members,
that the butchers and grocers have
asked the City Council to pass an or
dinance prohibiting the sale of meat
or groceries on Sunday,
The p, t.tlon to the Council originated
with the butchers, but the grocers
gladly joined in with them. The ma
jority in both lines of business favor
Sunday closing.
Some Of the cigar store men and
similar dealers are wondering just
how far the Sunday closing ordinance
will reach. Under the State law they

would be obliged to close on Sunday,
