MANY NEW FEATURES.
Preparations Made for the Senson at
Chautauaua Beach.

The work of improvement at Chautau-
qua Beach, formerly, Bay Ridge, Md, is
progressing SO rapidly and has been con-
Quoted on so large a scale that there is
now ample proof of the statement made
some time ago to the effect that this new
resort was to be the superior of any on
Chesapeake Bay. When the Chesapeake
Chautauqua Assembly opens it's sessions
there, during the coming season, it will
take it's place as the summer educational
centre of the South. All the many ad-
vantages afforded by the extensive Chau-
tauqua system, which has had thousands
of graduates since its establishment, will
reach their highest stage of development
at Chautauqua Beach.
This will not be the predominating fea-
ture of the resort, however. The beach is
one of the finest on the bay. and the re-
cent improvements have greatly added
to it's equipment. The hotel and cafe is
under new management, and boardwalks
and many other structures have been
erected Chautauqua Beach will differ
from the better known summer and sea
coast resorts in the fact that ii VIII be
absolutely free from annoying features.
Large numbers Of persons have already
bought property with the intention of
erecting cottages. where they will spend
the summer months with their families.
Many business men in Baltimore and
Washington Will live there during the
season, being enabled to go to the
cities to their work without much loss of
time.
Attractions of the lighter sort will not
be lacking. The bay affords splendid op-
portunitles for aquatic sports. while the
bathing beach, with over 400 bath houses.
is unsurpassed. A portion of the United
States Naval Academy Band and orches-
ira have been engaged for the season.

cLARK,s CLAIM REJECTED.
A De.--ion Rendered Yesterday by
the Interior Department..


A decision was rendered yesterday by
the Interior Department which affects
the controversy over the right of way
now raging in Nevada between the Utah
and California Railroad and the Utah,
Nevada and California road. the latter a
branch of the Union Pacific. The Utah
and California road, recently organized by
Senator Clark Of Montana, projected
short line between Salt Lake and Los
Angeles and as a part of the line filed
application with the local land Office in
Nevada for stretch forty miles long
between Uvalde and Clover Valley juno
tion, which had been formerly granted
the Oregon Short Line and transferred to
the Utah, Nevada and California road. A
portion of the stretch had been gIsded by
the Oregon road and a tunnel partly con-
structed, in which recently a conflict oc-
Cured between its employees and those of
the Clark road.
The new line claims title to the right of
way on the ground that the section had
been abandoned by the Oregon line be-
cause for period of more than five years
no construction work had been done upon
ii. This contention was opposed by the I'm
ion Pacific on the ground that the trans
fer of the line and the commencement
of construction work kept its title alive
In order to reach a prompt decision in the
case. special hearing to representatives
of the two roads was given yesterday by
the Interior Department, and a decision
rendered sustaining the title of = the
Union Pacific. to the forty miles of
road in controversy. An order was also
issued directing the Commissioner of the
tion and maps filed by the Utah and Cali
fornia Company.

HER SANITY QUESTIONED.
A Womnn's Strange Actions Causes
Her Detention by the Police.

Jennie Klofer, n well-dressed woman
about forty-five years old, was taken into
custody by Policeman Boteler at Ninth
and + Streets northwest late last night
and later sent to the House of Detention.
She will probably undergo an examination
as to her sanity today. Her strange ac-
tions last night led the police of the First
precinct station to believe that she is suf-
fering from temporary insanity.
Boteler first saw the woman standing
at the corner Of Ninth and + Streets
about $50 O'Clock last night. She stood
in the driving rain on the corner for sew
eral hours. Her peculiar actions as she
paced restlessly TO and fro excited the
suspicious of the policeman, who ques-
toned her She refused to give her name
or any reason for her actions and she
was sent to the station. While there she
maintained her silence. refused to answer
questions. or to tell where she lived. From
a baggage check in her pocketbook it was
found that she had resided with relatives
on Eighth Street southwest Enquiry at
the number on the check elected her name
and the information that she had left
the house about I:30 o'clock, expecting
to return shortly. She had recovered but
a short time ago from n severe attack of
nervous prostration. She is native of
Washington and has lived here nearly all
her life. Before staying with the family
on Eighth Street she had for a time re-
sided with sister in Philadelphia. Fam
ily troubles are supposed to be the cause
of her present mental condition.

MRS. wALCoTT DESIGNATED.
Appointed by the Court as Guard ian
for Her Husband.

Justice Bradley yesterday signed an or
der appointing George ]. Walcott a COM
mittee to take charge of the person and
estate of her husband, Capt. William H.
WaIcott. This action was taken by the
court as the result of the findings of a
marshars jury on Monday last. which re-
turned a verdict finding Walcott to be of
unsound mind and incapable of taking
care of his person or property.
Captain Walcott is about seventy-three
years old and is a veteran of the civil
war. He was wounded at the battle of
Gettysburg and as the result of his inju-
ries he was compelled to have one of his
legs amputated He was commissioned a
captain in the Regular Army service and
was retired some years ago
Captain Walcott's condition was first
called TO the attention of the court in
connection with A petition for habeas cor
pus filed by his son. William II. l.. Wal
colt. about three weeks ago. Young Wal
colt in his application stated that he came
here from Providence, r. l.. to see his
father and that upon his arrival at his
home he was refused admittance to his
fathers presence by his mother. brother.
and sisters. AT the time appointed for
the hearing on the writ OF habeas corpus
the court was informed by Mrs. Walcott
and Captain Walcotts physician that his
condition was such as to make Ii mad
visable for him to appear in court. The
hearing was postponed and a few days
later Mrs. Walcott filed a petition asking
that the court take judicial cogniZance of
the mental and physical condition OF her
husband.
This was done on Monday last and the
jury which heard the testimony concluded
that Captain Waicott's condition is such
as to warrant the appointment Of some
one to take care of him and his estate
Mrs. Walcott's daughters, Maude V. p
and Blanche ID. R., and her sons Clinton
ID. s and William II. l. Walcott. consent
to her appointment as a committee TO
take charge of their father
The order signed by Justice Bradley
also stipulates that William Fl. l. Wal
colt shah have the privilege of seeing his
father once a week on some day to be
agreed upon between the hours of 8 p. IN.
and y. IN. He is also to receive 500 per
month from the estate of his father

A FEW FACTS
About the New catarrh Cure,

The new Catarrh Cure is a new de-
parture in so-called catarrh cures because
it actually cures, and is not simply a
temporary relief.
The new Catarrh Cure is not a salve.
ointment powder. nor liquid. but a pleas
ant tasting tablet, containing the best
specifics for catarrh in concentrated,
convenient form.
The old style of catarrh salves and oiut-
ments are greasy. dirty. and inconvenient
at the best: the new preparation being
in tablet form is always clean and con-
venlent.
The new Catarrh Cure is superior to
Catarrh powders because it is notorious
fact that many catarrh powders contain
cocaine.
The new Catarrh Cure is called Stuart $
Catarrh Tablets. a wholesome combina-
ton of blood root, beachwood tar, guai-
acol, and other antiseptics. and cures by
its action upon the blood and mucous
membrane. the only rational treatment
for catarrhal trouble.
You do not have to draw upon your
ina agination to discover whether YOU are
getting benefit from Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, improvements and relief are ap-
parent from the first tablet taken.
All druggists sell and recommend them.
They cost but 30 cents for full-sized pack
ages. and any catarrh sufferer who has
wasted time and money on sprays, saves,
and powders. will appreciate to the full
the merit of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
