A FIGHT FIFTH A BURGLAR.
An Athletic Young NirEininn Pre-
vents a Theft of SiIverwarc.

RICHMOND. Va, Jan. tS.-verner
Moore, an athletic youth, and a powerful
burglar struggled for the possession of
basket containing collection of valuable
silverware in the residence of the former
just after midnight this morning Moore
who slept in an upper room, heard the
clnk of the silver as the robber descend
ed the steirs with it. Without hesitation
he threw himself over the balusters into
the dense gloom below, alighting squarely
on the mans shoulders and hurting the
basket from his hand. The burglar quick
ly rallied and fight followed in the dark
ness so intense that neither could see the
others face.
The men struggled down the steps,
wrecldng everything in the way. and fell
grappled together, in the hall below.
Young Moore grasped his opponent around
the throat and was strangling him when
the man broke away and dealt him a
heavy blow, momentarily stunning the
young man, who released his hold. The
burglar escaped, leaving the silver be-

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
symptoms of Very Common
Trouble.

There is no disease so common in the
United States as catarrh, because II ap-
pears in so many forms, and attacks so
many different organs.
Il is a common mistake to suppose that
catarrh is confined to the nose and throat.
Any Inflammation of the mucous men,
brane wherever located, accompanied by
abnormal secretions is catarrh. Catarrh
of stomach or bladder or intestines is
nearly as common as nasal catarrh ard
much more serious, although it is true
that stomach catarTh and catarrh of other
internal organs is the result of neglected
nasal catarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which so far as tested seems to be remark
ably effective in promptly curing catarrh
wherever located. The preparation is sold
by druggists generally under name CT
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. and in addition
to being very palatable and convenient
possesses extraordinary merit, in many
cases giving immediate relief from the
coughing. hawking. and constant clearing
of the throat and head, those symptoms
with which everyone is familiar who has
ever suffered from colds IN the head and
throat
Catarrh is simply a continuation of
these symptoms until the trouble becomes
chronic and grows gradually worse from
year TO year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed
of Hydrastin, Eucalyptol, Guaiacol, and
similar antiseptics and catarrh specifics,
from which it will be seen that no secret
is made OF the ingredients, and also that
no mineral poisons are used. as is the
case with many well-known catarrh med-
cines.
For catarrh of the nose. throat. bron-
chial tubes, for catarrh of stomach in
testines. or bladder, no preparation is so
safe and gives such raYid and permanent
results as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at soc for full
sized package. You can use them with
assurance that you will not contract the
cocaine or morphine habit. as the results
from this catarrh cure are apparent from
the first days use.

\ THIRTEEN CLUB" PROTESTS.
Opposes Changing the Date for Put

ting the Wisconsin in Commission.
A letter from the Thirteen Club of New
York protesting against a change in the
date of putting the battleship Wisconsin
in commission from Friday. February !,
has been received by Secretary Long. Tie
protest was caused by the publication CT
a statement that Captain Reiter, who is
to command the Wisconsin. and Captain
Chester. commander of the Kentucky, had
asked that the date on which the Wiscon-
sin was to be placed in commission be
changed from Friday to some other Gay
on account Of the superstitious feeling
among sailors. In fixing the date the
Navy Department overlooked the fact that
February / would fall on Friday.
1t is evident from the wording Of the
Thirteen Clubs petition that 1t believed
the date fixed was for the launching, and
not the commissioning, of the Wisconsin.
The club says: We protest against the
change in the date of the launching of
the said bastleship Wisconsin, and respect
fully request that the requests of Captain
Reiter and Captain Chester be ignored"

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, May 4.-The nervous
sentiment caused by yesterdays sharp
break in prices here was reflected in
some wide declines for Americans in
the London market this morning. At
O'Clock Qondon time) Illinois Central
showed loss of 41s there, Union Pa
cifc, Atchison, Denver & Rio Grande,
Reading, Baltimore e Ohio and New
York Central from 2 to pa, and other
leading internationals from / to 2
points. st. Paul alone showed any evil
dence of support. The selling in Lon
don was attributed to cabled orders
from New York and the opening here
was feverish and excited in response
Some violent declines were shown, but
st. Paul and Missouri Pacific were
strongly supported, the former running
up u and the latter points Atchl-
son, Union Pacific and Baltimore & Ohio
showed the most acute weakness. 4 our
thousand shares of Atchison sold at
seq to S14 compared with S27s last
night, and 5000 Union Pacific sold at
12eh to 1872, compared with 1929 last
night. Baltimore & Ohio declined 23s.
Among other notable losses were Gen
eral Electric 25s points Metropolitan
Street railway 21b and Chicago Terminal
Transfer preferred 35s. Losses of / to
2 points were general throughout the
list, but the internationals generally
were not down to the London parity
Union Pacific met support at the open
ing dip and rallied in few minutes 10
12l9s. The dealings were very heavy
and the movement Of prices continued
very irregular and the market excited
after the opening. There was an abrupt
rally on buying by the shorts and by
supporting orders. Prices rose rapidly
causing the cancellation OF the opening
