woman who fell upon the stove.
There are a great many women who
are subject to fainting ''spells,' and
there is not one OF them who would
not be grateful for means OF cure.
MEN DON'T FAINT.
As a rule men do not faint. Start
ing with that proposition it suggests
at once that the frequency OF faint
ing among women must be to a great
degree matter of sex. If we follow
this clue step farther we shall find
that in general women who faint are
afflicted with womanly diseases and
when these diseases are cured there

MIR. Graves Held Mr.. Wood While Hi.
Daughter Ised Horsewhin

Mr.. Graves Held MIR. Wood While His
Daughter Used Horsewhip.
Samuel I. Graves and his daughter Edith
of Pennsylvania avenue southeast were to-
day convicted in the Police Court Of the
charge of assaulting VIM L.. Wood Mon
day evening last. Judge Scott fined Mr.
Graves So and Miss Edith s1O and both
fines were paid.
The evidence developed that Miss Graves
was an applicant for admission to an order
called the Daughters of America. She was
rejected, and she blamed Mr.. Wood for it..
Monday evening, as Mr.. Wood with his
wife and several friends, were leaving the
meeting place of the society, corner AZ
and G streets southwest, they were sud
denly confronted by Miss Graves and her
father.
Mr. Wood swore that Miss Graves struck
him violent blow in the face with q
horseWhlp, and that he was then seized
by Mr.. Graves and held by him while the
daughter rained twelve or fifteen blows
upon his face, head and shoulders. He
also said that Mr.. Graves remarked to his
daughter, Now you have got him, give it
to him good
Mrs. Rachel Bearfield, Mrs Maggie Ford.
Mrs. Lizzie Keenle and Mrs. Eleanor Weber
interfered to protect Mr.. Wood, and each,
with the exception of Mrs. Weber, received
blows from the whip Mrs. Keenle being so
severely hurt that she tainted.
Miss Graves admitted the charge, and
said she whipped Wood because of great
provocatton. He had, she asserted, spoken
about her in such way as to render her
an object of scorn, land if she continued.
"a woman does not protect herself I would
like to know who is going to protect her"
She knew nothing. she claimed, about
striking any Of the ladies named.
Mr.. Graves denied that he used the Ian
guage of which he had been accused re-
garding Mr.. Wood, and said he had tried to
keep his daughter from striking that gen.
tleman. Judge Scott said the evidence of
three persons was to the contrary, and i'm
posed the penalties stated.

The New York Herald of today says:
The entire corps Of West Point cadets is
awaiting, with trepidation, the outcome OF
an investigation now being conducted by a
board of United States officers, who are
seeking to identify the leaders in a remark
able demonstration In which the cadets par
ticipated few nights ago.
The actual investigation was begun yes
terday when the military board organized
and several stenographers and a clerk were
assigned to make record Of the proceedings.
A number of cadets were examined I'M
der oath behind closed doors. Each was
required not to reveal to his fellows the
nature of his testimony before the board
The cause Of the demonstration made by
the cadets is traced, it is said, to their al
legged dislike for Lieutenant Colonel Otto
L. Helm, who is the cadet commandment
and assistant instructor Of infantry tao
tics. The cadets adopted an exceeding
novel manner to evince disapproval.

Tuesday evening week ago, after sup

fine parade grounds, where, acting on a
preconcerted signal, they broke ranks and
dashed pellmell across the plains toward

a quick turn, making the muzzle point di-
rectly to the front door of the colonel
quarters.
The cadets carrying the mock charge of
powder then loaded the piece, the charge
was rammed home and the gun sighted
amid the wild shouting of the belligerents.
The disorder was at it's height, when
several of the officers rushed from their
cottages and angrily ordered the cadets to
their quarters.
Quick commands were given. which the

cadets promptly obeyed. They fell into
rank and were marched into the barracks.
A detail of the cadets was ordered to
restore the gun to its proper place.
The remarkable conduct of the cadets is
due directly, 1t is stated, to the recent re-
duction to the ranks Of Cadet Lieutenant
Rawlston, who, it is said, is very popular
with the young soldiers at West Point.
Classed as lieutenant. he was merely a
monitor over his immediate command.
1t was because Of his failure to report an
infraction Of the rules which came under
his observation, it is said, that he was re-
duced.
By reason of his rank he presided as
commandant at the mess table Of twenty
cadets. When they in spirit Of fun, be-
