PEACOCK FEATHER BOOM.
sale OF the "Tiddler" Means Much tr
London Trade - Many
Made Rich,

The peacock's feather has become a
conspicuous feature in our national
rejoicings, says the London Mail.
Its Introduction has brought about
a revival of trade in the commodity
which has filled Mincing Lane with
gladness and proved a windfaM to thou
sands of London's poor.
For purposes of jubilaton the ''eye''
feather of the peacock has been re-
christened fiddler" and sold in mil
lions to joyous public. Before the
war the trade in peacock's feathers
was in comatose condition. Huge
stocks were on hand, and the promise
of a clearance seemed distantly re-
mote.
Then some brilliant opportunist saw
in the feather the very article for
which an exuberant public might be
taught to yearn. In the early days of
our successes in South Africa the It'd
der" in the hands of the boisterous
youth, instantly jumped into popular
ity, and while it added to the harm
less gayety of nation, it's ready sale
enriched all who had foreseen tho
boom.

The Same Effect

It is observed by travellers in Siberia
that the effect of constant cold is prac-
tically the same as the effect of con-
slant heat. The people develop dis
inclinati on to work, and become
strangers to ambition of any descrip-
ton,

DR.. Koch's reputation is such that any statement
which he makes can be relied upon. The doctors
give all sufferers who call at their office at 627
st. NV, such positive proof Of the Koch Lung
Cure that it dispels doubt from the most skeptical
mind
This grand treatment Is Endorsed by the German
government, and the tuberculine medicine which
will positively cure consumption, is made In the
German government laboratories, under the direct
supervision Of government officials. This tubercu-
line medicine is sent to the Koch Lung Cure, at
627 st. NV, Washington, D. G.
The Koch Lung Cure doctors invite all those suf-
fering from Consumption, Catarrh, Asthma or it's
kindred ailments to call on them at their Offices,
where they win give consultation and examination
free. If your is incurable they will tell you
SO. If they tell you 1t is a curabe case you may
rest assured that your afiction will be positively
and permanently cured.
Some Of the doctors associated with DIR. Koch
have practiced in Washington for many years, but
have organized the Koch Lung Cure but a short
time ago. These doctors, through this treatment
cure Catarrh. Bronchitis, Consumption 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.
Office hours all day; also Sunday, from II to 8.

DR.. Koch, the eminent scientist, Of Berlin, is
the first man to discover a to Con-
sumption. he has positively proved that through
his methods Consumption is durable disease He
has established itG durability beyond shadow Of
doubt individuals have recovered by the use
Of the Koch treatment IN whom there was exten-
sive destruction of the pulmonary tissue and, in
deed entire destruction Of the pulmonary tissue of
lung. Dr. Koch has hundreds Of instances on
record in which persons have been cured who were
confirmed consumPtives.3 Their cases We're pro-
nounced incurable, yet they have regained their
health through his wonderful discovery.
What will interest the people of Washington
and vicinity is that this great benefactor. DR..
Koch, has located the Koch Lung Cure at 627 E
st. NV. 1t Is under the direct supervision Of Dr.
Koch, who visits these institutions regularly.
These doctors have IN their possession the latest
Koch treatment, which includes the Koch inhala-
tfon. The vapors breathed into the air tubes,
and reach the deep places in the lungs that are
never touched by ordinary drugs, and in this man
ner heal the diseased spots. They soften the sore
membranes, making them throw off their diseased
coatings. AS the lungs healed they are
strengthened the pains then disappear in chest
back and sides. The manifest Improvement in the
patient is 30 wonderful that he hardly believe
his senses. ...-,s

Rockland, Me-, Feb. 27. Sch. Sardinia,
arrived here to-day for repairs, having
grounded on Monhegan last Sunday. AS it
is seldom indeed that a vessel holds the
ground long after striking on the rocks at
Monhegan, the crew of the Sardinia got all
things in readiness for leaving the vessel in
small boat The schooner floated clear at
flood tide, however, and although leaking
badly, was navigated to Camden, where her
cargo of coal from New York was unloaded
| The Sardinia will go on the marine railway

Boston, Feb. 26. A cable was received
yesterday from Bermuda by John S. Emery
I Co. of this city, stating that the schooner
Nantasket, Capt. Guptll, had arrived there
| 80 days out from Barbados for New York,
with the loss of her second mate, name I'M
known, and also of spanker, foreSail, fore
staysail and jib. The Nantasket had on
| board the crew Of the schooner Fred Cover,
bound from Pensacola to Paysandu, Argen-
tine Republic, abandoned at sea. The
| Cover, which was formerly owned in this
! city, was recently sold to San Francisco
| parties.
Boston, Feb. %. Late advices from Ber-
muda to local underwriters are that accum-
ulation of disabled vessels in the harbor
continues and expenses are unusually
heavy. TOwbOat owners are making eXOr-
bitant charges and the underwriters are re-
ceiving some prodigious bills. From $500
to $4,000 have been charged for towing a
schooner Is miles, and in one case where a
| Dor rather than pay the charges demanded
and rowed in for supplies, he had to pay
$50 for service of a whaleboat for a two
mile trip. Bark Addie Morrill,, Andrews,
| from Buenos Ayres for Boston, arrived at
Bermuda in distress. The tug bill for tow
ing her in amounted to $4,000 Bark Annie
Lewis, Parks, which arrived at Bermuda
last week was picked up by tug Is miles
off Bermuda, which received $1,000. The
Boston schooner Nantasket, from Port
Spain for New York, which reached Bermu-
da last Monday with the loss of second
mate and several of her sails, was charged
81 600 for being towed into port. Schooner
John Paul, Dyer, from the west coast of
! Africa for here, was obliged to pay $1,000
for services of a tug to tow her into Bermu-
da. The expenses for repairs and provisions
are in the same proportion, and the vessels
are obliged to pay high prices for every
thing required.
