ate Committee on the District OF CoIum-
bia. statement upon the amendment to
the pending District Appropriation kill
to be offered by Senator Towne: For
paving Fourth Street northeast. from L

tive 10 the amendment the Commissioners
say-
Fourth Street is the main highway
leading north from lexington toward
Broekiand. and is now paved almost to
L Street. The amendment proposes to
extend the pavement to Frankfort Street
The amount named in the bill for this
purpose IS $4,000 and vii be insufficient
for the purpose. as it Will probably re-
Quire $40. 600 to do the work contemplated
In preparing the annual estimates low
pending before Congress. the claims of
this street were carefully considered. and
the conclusion was reached that other
streets were Of greater relative import
ance than this one. and the Commission
ers are still of the opinion that the
streets named in the book of estimates
should be provided for first. However.
If Congress differs from them IN the mat
ter of the order in which the streets
should be improved the paving of the
street in question. they will be very glad
TO see that the work is properly exc
cuted."

this as 1t may, the cat had for sofae time been lying around apparently quite helpless and remained lying i'm
 the position it had so long occupiedi until it's mistress returned with the drug. As she passed through the room where the cat was, she made some moro remarks as to the coming execution. She soon returned and what was hor surprise to see thin helpless cat arise and deliberately walk toward the door and when 1t was opened to go out and leave the premises. Neither did 1t re- turn to it's home until some one discov- cred it and brought 1t back the next day.
 Another lady relates singular caaS that came under her notice.. The cat had kittens and was in a room where there was but one window and that very high up with smooth wall under it. Kitty was contented there with her kitties until one day the people who were in the room talked about killing the kittens the next day What was their surprise the next day, to find the cat had taken alarm and In some ac- countable way escaped through that very high window with all her little family and what Is more had hidden the kittens SO adroitly that 1t was with difficulty the folks found them.--Daily Kennebec Journal

FIRST SIXTEEN YEARS
Determine Struc ture and Physical
 Health.

If parents could realize what crime they commit in permitting children to have heavy drugs during their early life, such drugs, for instance, as coffee, which stunts their growth, prepares them for dyspepsia and nervous wrecks, they would do anything, go to any amount of trouble and care, to change the methods and give their children the advantages that nature demands to produce perfect specimens.
 A sixty year old woman writes: My over-indulgent papa used to say, at the table. Why not let the child have what she likes; it won't hurt her any He referred particularly to my drinking coffee, which I was very fond of as child. He honestly thought it didn't hurt me, for with his strong body, ap- parently without nerves, he was not consciously affected by coffee, but the effect on me--a bundle of nerves-was to develop restlessness and stunt my growth.
 The first effect after drinking coffee was that of delightful exhllaration, and I felt courage and strength to attack almost any amount of active work, but in a few hours the reaction came, with misery in my chest, palpitation of the heart. and most unbearable pains in my stomach
 Finally my attention was called to Postum Cereal Food Coffee and we se- cured some of it. It was prepared ac- cording to directions, but breakfast be- ing delayed the Postum got an extra boilng, which developed all it's virtues and we all fell in love with it from the first moment. The change in our phys ical health, after drinking Postum, was something remarkable. We nave as delicious coffee as any one could ask, hut it is a perfectly healthy coffee, ana the more we drink of it, in reason, the better we are. I am satisfied that the ;nrrea sing amount of heart difficulty or late years, among young people, IS d. ractlv attributable to the use of coftee' and it is a great blessing to have so safe and delicious food as Postum' please omit my name from publlca- .ion - East Brookfield Mass.

 Fears were expressed last night that James Mcdonald and Zacheus Brooks had been drowned at the north side of Grand avenue bridge. Some time ago Harry Leigh purchased one of the old boxes of the Empire Transportation company to be used up the river as wharf boat. A tug lowed the boat through the drawbridge when it grounded and was tied up at the fender pier Mcdonald and Brooks, who were in charge of the barge, were ashore Thursday night and were seen at one of the east side saloons at about il o'clock, the last seen of them. It is feared that in attempting to board the barge they fell from the fender pier and were drowned. Relatives were search ing for them yesterday but without avail. Mcdonald has a family and Brooks was unmarried Both are about fifty years of age and reside in Fair Haven. If the missing men do not make an appearance this morning it is probable the river near the barge will be dragged.

before he left Annapolis, informing him of his predicament. Of course he req lized that only be great good fortune could the message be delivered in time, but 1t was his only resource and he wa desperate. In a moment he was inside the office, had scribbled a few lines on one of the blanks and handed it over the counter to the operator.
 "'Get this off at once-it's a matter of life and death'
 "The operator handed it back to him, saying:
 Sorry, sir; but the telegraph is shut off for five minutes out of respect--'
 "'But this Is matter
 Very sorry; but the current is off all over the country
 Jumping Jupiter!
 Beads of precipitation stood out on his brow. Visions of a gloomy future with no loving wife to cheer it rose up before him. There was no question of 1.-the girl was lost to him now beyond a doubt, and the boy felt pretty blue He started to walk out of the office when a thought flashed through his brain that gave him new lease of life. There was possibility, he thought, that the Annapolis train might be de- layed by reason of the heavy freight traffic on the railroads that day, and he might still be able to communicate with the girls father before it was too late. It was mighty slim chance, but it was his only one, and he clung to it like a drowning man clngs to a straw. Two minutes more and the telegraph would resume operations. In the sus- pense he was enduring those minutes seemed like so many years.
 "At last the clock in the office point ed to twenty-five minutes to three.

The cars out In the street were clang- ing their gongs and slowly moving off 1 click-click-click--th telegraph was again at work and the noise of the saunders was the sweetest music he had ever heard
 Hurry off my message!' he blurted out to the operator, who already had his finger on the key, preparing to send the dispatch.
 Suddenly the sounder set up a se- ries of furious clicks.
 "Wait! said the operator, quickly Annapolis is calling now!'
 "He gave the answer to the call and threw in his switch; after a slight pause the sounder started off again at a lively rate.
 "The operator listened for a moment, then glanced hurriedly at the copy my friend had given him and exclaimed with surprise:
 "'Why it's for you, sir!'
 " For me? Great-what is it. quick! he gasped, dumfounded.
 Father suddenly-ill cannot -particulars-later.'
 Those are the words the operator called out as fast as the instrument clicked them off
 My friend stood stock still for mo- ment, hardly able to believe his own ears. Then he let out whoop that would have done credit to a Comanche Indian and tossing a bill to the opera tor, danced out of the office.
 Talk about walking on air-why, he had Santos -Dumont beat to death!
 After he had collected himself and came down to earth again he wired his sweetheart, asking for full particulars concerning her fathers illness. The answer informed him that the old gen.
