THE DECREE AMENDED.
Miss PIatt EnJoined From Prosecut-
ing Her Damage Suit.

In an amendment to the decree signed
last Saturday by Justice Bradley in the
case of Major George A. Armes against
Ella NJ. Piatt. restraining her from rep
resenting herself to be the wife of the
complainant. the court yesterday enjoined
Miss Plat from prosecuting a suit for
damages for $4,000 against Major Armes.
The proceedings which Miss Plat is re-
strained by the court from prosecuting
were filed last fall. In her declaration
filed at that time Miss Plat declared that
she and Major Armes had entered into
contract to marry and that the agreement
had been consummated. With her declara-
tion she filed what was represented TO be
a copy of the agreement entered into be-
tween herself and Major Armes.
About two weeks ago Major Armes flea
petition in equity asking the court to
restrain Miss Plat from representing her
self to be his wife, and also to enjOin her
from prosecuting her suit at law. After
the hearing on last Saturday Justice Eraf-
ley signed a decree enjoining Miss Plat
from representing herself to be Major
Armes' wife. Yesterday Justice Bradley
made the decree also to include the suit
at law, and restrained it's further prose-
cution by Miss Plat.

The matter of providing quarters for the
veteran organizations which propose to at
tend the inauguration and for all other
organizations which may desire to attend
and which have not yet signifed their
purpose was considered yesterday in con-
ference between Chairman Edison, Gen. F.
V. Greene. Marshal; Commissioner Mac
farland, Gen. H. V. Boynton, Michael I.
Weller. and General Harrles. Nearly all
of the Government buildings and other
places which are available as free quar-
tiers for the visiting organizations have
already been assigned to troops.
The number of visiting veterans TO the
Inauguration will depend largely upon the
accommodations which can be offered
them. 1t is proposed to request from Sem
ator W. A. Clark of Montana the use of
Stewart Castle, which he has lately pur-
chased with the intention of dismantling
and rebuilding. II the consent Of the Sem
ator can be secured the building will be
oiy m xsata
rams during their stay. The building. it is
believed, will accommodate the number
that it is estimated will make up the vete-
ran visitors.
s. Elliott Chamberlin, representing Gen.
Daniel E. Sickles. who has been appointed
marshal of the veterans division of the
inaugural parade, visited Mr.. Edison yes
terday afternoon to see what arrange
ments could be made for the aecommoda
ton OF the veterans. Gen. r. G. Dyren-
forth representing the Union Veterans
Union, accompanied by Colonel Foote, also
called in the interest of his own associa'
ticn. Mr.. Edison explained what was under
consideration and gave assurances that
proper provision would be effected.
In the Department OF the Potomac, G.
A. R., there are eighteen posts within the
District limits. 1t is estimated that the
Department of the Potomac, C. A R., and
the Department OF the Potomac. U. V. u,
will furnish about 1000 men. About as
many visiting veterans, it is expected, VIII
attend the Inauguration if proper accom-
modations can he secured.

GOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE
About "BIOod Purifiers, and
afTonicx

Every drop of blood, every bone nerve
and tissue in the body can be renewed in
but one way, and that is, from wholesome
food properly digestod. There is no o h r
way, and the idea that medicine in IL
self can purify the blood or supply new
tissues and strong nerves is ridiculous
and on q par with ;he ol-de-rol that dys-
pepsia or indigestion is germ disease or
that other fallacy. that a weak stomac h
which refuses to digest food can be made
to do so, by irritating and in6aming thu
bowels by pills and cathsrtics.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure indi-
gestion, sour stomach, gas and bloating
after meals. because they furnish the di-
gestive principles which weak stomachs
lack, and unless the deficiency of pepsin
and diastase is supplied it is useless to
attempt to cure stomach trouble by the
use of tones, pills" and "catharti S.
which have absolutely no digestive pow
er. and their only effect is to give a
temporary stimulation.
One grain of the active principle in Stu
arts Dyspeptic Tablets will digest 1900
grains of meat, eggs and similar foe DIS and
experiments have shown that they VII do
this in glass bottle at pre- per temp era-
ture, but, of course, are much more eff
fective in the stomach. -
There is probably no remedy SO uni
versally used as Stuart's Tablets, because
ii ii not only the sick and ailing, but well
people who use them at every meal to
ensure perfect digestion and assimilation
of the food.
People who enjoy fair health take Stu
arts Tablets as regularly as they take
their meals. because they want to keep
well; prevention is always better than
cure. and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do
both: they prevent indigestion and they
remove it where it exists. The regular
use of one or two of them after meals
will demonstrate their merit and eff
cheney better than any other argument

reductions in rates that were large when
measured by Australian standards, but
comparatively small when measured by
what has been attained in the United
States. And it was only the falling off
in the net immigration from an annual
average of $4,000 people in the years
previous to 1886 to about 5000 people a
year since 1893 that prevented the prob
lem of the unemployed from becoming
even more serious than it actually be-
came. In Victoria all railway charges
were raised in 1892 by five per cent to
ten; excepting only those OH agricul-
tural produce which remained station
ary. And in the years 1898 to 1900 the
colony lost by excess of emigration over
immigration not less than 10000 peo-
pie, mostly ablebodied men. Since
1884 South Australia has had net
emigration of 10000 people. It's total

vICTORIA'S LOVE OF TREES.

No portion of the Queens wide
domain was more priced by her than the
splendid Ballochbuie forest on her Dee
side estate. In their shady depths she
delighted to drive, and but for her the
superb Scots frs, of which she was so
proud, would not now be in existence.
That little story is worth telling. One
summer afternoon she sat in the drawing
room reading. The windows were open,
for the sun was warm. Suddenly there
came to her ear the changing of
the woodman's hatchet and the rasping
of his saw. She realized that slaughter
was going forward among the trees near
by, and she caused immediate inquiry to
be made. The messenger returned with
the news that firm of local wood mer-
chants had purchased the forest, and
were proceeding to clear it. The Queen
sent for the purchaser without NOM
ent's hesitation, and in no time bargain
was struck. Ballochbuie, and it's million
frs, passed into her possession. The
woodman's notch had already marked
out the "kings Of the forest" for i'm
mediate execution" but, by the
Queens orders, the gaping wounds in the
timber were healed, the letters "V. r."
being branded on them. Till within
decade ago her Majesty delighted in
having afternoon tea-made gypsy fash
ion-under the giant branches of the
favorite frs, several of which she called
by name This love of trees was
characteristic of the Queen which ad-
vancing age seemed but to intensity.
"Royal" frs beautify many a nook and
corner of the domain, and each domestic
or national event of outstanding i'm
portance was wont to entail the cere-
mony of tree planting as certainly as it
meant the building of a great bonfire on
the rugged brow of Craiggowan-Lon-
don Telegraph.

lem Of the unemployed became so prom
inent in the capital cities as to engage
the serious attention of the various
governments. The trades unions at the
same time sent agents to Great Britain
to warn intending emigrants against
Australasia and the percentage of emi-
grafton to that country fell to less than
five per cent in 1898 and the subsequent
years. At the same time the birth rate
among married women of child bearing
age fell off by one-third, the marriage
rate declined by sixteen per cent, and
the proportion of illegitimate births in
creased by fifty per cent. These figures
all tell the same story; that under the
present distribution of the people be-
tween country and city, the average
man finds it increasingly difficult to
support family.
