but believed him to be merely an incor-

rected to procure additional evidence.
Dr. NJ. j. Stack, one of the resident ply
sicians at St Elizabeth's, has since that
time assured the court that Sim Is a vic
tim of epileptic insanity, and fit subject
for treatment at an insane asylum. Upon
consideration of this evidence Justice
Bradley signed the order of commitment.
Sim has been under DR.. Stacks observa-
ton since he was sent to the asylum on

touching Sims mental status were DrS.

waive all technicalities and return to St
Louis without delay. Louis c. Mcdowell,
the diamond swindler arrested here on

Senator Hannas son, suddenly changed
his mind at the last moment and refused
tectives called at the Twelfth Street sta
tionhouse to take him to the train. Nc

possible, as arrangements had already
been completed to return him to st. Louis.

TO CURE CONSUMPTION,
ASTHMA, CATARRH, and BRONCHITIS
Is What Is Occupying the Public Mind Today.

No disease possesses such sad interest
for humanity as Consumption, on account
of its wide prevalence and its destructive
effect Consumption is the most aggres-
sive and merciless of all diseases. In
every age of medicine Consumption has
formed a fertile field of enquiry as to
its nature, cause and treatment. The dis
covery of 1.-THE nature of the disease is
owing a great deal to Laennec, who in the
early part of this century discovered the
Stethoseope. whereby an accurate investi-
cation could be made. The cause was
fully demonstrated by the scientific inves-
legations Of Niemeyer some rs years ago
yet the positive cure of Consumption was
never proved, and it was supposed that
Consumption was an incurable disease
until DR.. Koch, of Berlin, through many
years of scientific research, perfected his
tuberculine medicine.
The Koch Lung Cure Is not now an ex-
pertinent, for the thousands of cases which
it has permanently cured make it an alb
solute curative power for this terrible
afiiiction. What will interest the people
of Washington and vicinity is that Dr.
Koch has located the Koch Lung Cure at
627 E St N. W., Washington. d. c. 1t is
under the supervision OF DIR. Koch and
his associates These doctors have in their
possession the latest Koch treatment
which includes the Koch inhalation. The
vapors are breathed into the air tubes
and reach the deep places in the lungs
that are never touched by ordinary drugs,
and in this manner heal the diseased
spots. 1t softens the sore membranes
making them throw off their diseased
coatings. AS the lungs are healed they
are strengthened, the pains then disap-
pear in chest, back. and side.
The manifest improvement in the pa
tient is so wonderful that he can hardly
believe his senses. Dr. Kochs reputation
The Washington times., 1901-07-23

Is such that any statement which he
makes can be relied upon. The doctors
give all sufferers who call at 627 f ST. N.
w. such positive proof of the curative
power of the Koch Lung Cure that IL
oispels doubt from the most skeptical
mind They will give You the names and
addresses of hundreds who through this
wonderful treatment have been cured of
this deadly disease. You can then either
write or visit them, and you will find
every claim made by these physicians
substantiated by the living testimonials
of the curative power of the Koch Lung
Cure
This grand treatment Is endorsed by the
German Government. and the tuberculine
medicine which will positively cure Con-
sumption, is made in the Government
Laboratories under the direct supervis-
ion of Government officials This tubercu-
line medicine is sent direct to the Koch
Lung Cure, at 627 E st, N. W., Washing
ton, d. c.
The Lung Cure doctors invite all those
suffering from Constellation, catarrh.
Asthma, or its kindred ailments to call on
them at 627 f St. N. W., Washington. D.
c., where they will give consultation and
examination free II your ease is incura-
Bile they tfl tell you sa1 If they tell
you 1t is durable case you may rest as
sured that your affliction will be positively
and permanently cured. Some of the doc
tors associated with DR.. Koch have prac-
ticed In Washington for many years, but
have organized the Koch Lung Cu'e only
a short time ago.
The doctors through this treatmt mt cure
Catarrh, Bronchitis. and Asthma The
medicine which they administer does not
go to the stomach, but directly to the
lungs. In this way they remove the cause
upon which the disease depends.

BOYCOTT TO Be ENFORCED
Decisive Action Taken Against a
Suburban Resort.
The Central Labor Union Requests
Affiliated Bodies to Fine Members
Who Patronize Cabin John Bridge
The stand Taken by Printers.

The proprietors of Cabin John Bridge
Hotel have been declared unfair to union
labor by the Central Labor Union and the
great majority of the affiliated organiza-
tions have cautioned their members from
visiting the place. The proprietors of the
resort were declared unfair over year
ago by the carpenters and structural iron
workers unions and other organizations
affiliated with the Central Labor Union
and at their request were so declared by
the central body.
Among the organizations which declared
against Cabin John Bridge was Columbia
Typographical Union, No. 11l. In this
case, as In some others, the boycott
against the Bridge was not strictly en-
forced in hope that some amicable settle
ment of the differences between the pro-
prietors and organized labor in the Dis
trict might be reached. Several efforts
In this direction. it is said, have failed
1t was stated by delegate to the Central
Labor Union last night that the propri-
etors of the resort declared that they
have no love for organized labor and did
not fear what they might do, because the
members would patronize the place any
way. 1t was also stated that the man
ayers of the place have written several
TO the settlement of the existing differ
ences, but when approached by the rep
resentatives of labor would not treat with
them.
Because OF a recent failure to accom-
plish any good at one of these proposed
conferences between representatives OF
local labor and the proprietors of Cabin
John Bridge Hotel, It is said the fight
against the pace has been renewed with
yigor and will be continued to the end.
As a result of the revival Of the mat
ter at a meeting of Columbia Typograph-
ical Union, No. 10l, held on Sunday, after
a brief discussion of the matter, a reso-
luton was adopted which imposes fine
of s. on each and every member who
shall be found guilty of patronizing Cabin
John Bridge Other unions affiliated with
the Central Labor Union had previously
taken similar action and last night the
Central Labor Union adopted a sweeping
resolution requesting every organization
affiliated with II to impose fines on its
members who patronize Cabin John.
In the absence of James l.. Feeney,
the President of the union, the meeting
last night was conducted by Vice Presi-
dent John Hammerstrom. Mr.. Feeney, It
s1as stated, has gone to Buffalo. n. Y,
