Mounted Policeman Bryan, OF the Ninth

with a serious offence and viii be ar
raigned in the Police Court this morning.
SchoelIkon was pointed out to Policeman
Bryan by Maggie c. May. the fifteen
year-od daughter of the complainant
named in the warrant. She had been I'm
company with Schoellkof at a dance at
one Of the junction resorts. When he
was taken into custody the girl became
hysterical. declared that she did not want
the man arrested, and after a violent pro-
test fell in q swoOu on the floor of the
railroad station. She was removed to her
fathers home on Delaware Avenue.
Behind the arrest Of Schoellkon is an
unusual story 1t is said that the baker
in January last took Maggie May to Alex
andria. When he returned, it Is said, he
announced that they were man and wife.
1t is claimed they lived as such at the
home of Mrs. May.

lived together for some time, ii is said
and since they separated the girl has liV-
ed most of the time with her mother.

last Sunday and confessed her condition.
Evidently the father had not known OF
the relations between his daughter and
Schoelikoff and suspicious were at once
awakened in his mind He Immediately
communicated with the authorities at
Alexandria and learned that no marriage
license had been issued to his daughter
and Schoellkoff. Upon gaining this intel

THE HENsCHEL RECITAL.
The Last Appearance of These Art
lists in This Country.

Those delightful artists, Mr. and Mrs.
Georg Henschel. gave a song recital at
the Columbia Theatre yesterday after
noon. 1t was an event of unusual musical
Importance and it is a pleasure to record
that a very large and enthusiastic audi
ence was present, quite the largest of any
musical affair of the season. This is as
it should be, for while it is rare that an
art as refined as the Henschels' should
also appeal to the popular taste, II is a
good evidence that in some respects
Washington music lovers have a high
standard. Certainly as far as singing
goes there could be no higher. for Mr.
and Mrs. Henschei are superlative artists
Neither possesses 4 great voice. Indeed
Mr.. Henschel is quite mediocre. But their
art is so censummate that this TACT uSu-

quite overlooked, and criticism must be
earning. indeed. to find fault with the
means when the end is so delightful and
gives such pleasure. There is a charming
quality and atmosphere about their re-
citals which no other concerts possess;
one has the feeling of being an invited
and honorod guest. as though Mr. and
Mrs Henschel were entertainers in their
own drawing room, so intimate is the
accord between audience and artists.
Their genre is so refined that their art
loses somewhat in an auditorium as large
as theatre and should properly be con-
fined to a smaller concert hall
Another delightful feature OF these re-
citals is the beautiful programmes they
always present. Mr.. Henschel's knowl-
edge OF voice literature is as profound and
catholic as his taste, and their pro-
grammes are models, ranging from the
earliest writer's for the voice to the most
modern. through the aria, folksong. lied,
and ballad, and embracing all nationaii-

Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets
GIVE PERFECT DIGESTION. SOUND
SLEEP, STRONG NERVES.
4 Popular Remedy for Dyspepsia
which Has Made Many Remark
able Cures.

The spring of the year is the time for
blood purifiers. It is the season when we
think We must dose ourselves with sar-
sapariias. bitters. and the endless list Of
So-Callcd blood purifiers and nerve tOnicS.
As a matter Of fact. there is but one
possible way in which to purify the blood
and that is through the stomach and how
els.
Pure blood results from wholesome
food thoroughly digested. Impure blood
results from poor digestion and assimila-
tion. When the stomach refuses to work
properly the food remains too long a time
fermenting. forming gases. shown by
sour. bitter taste in the mouth bloating
and belching of gas, and distress and dis
nerves, sleeplessness, and a general don't
care feeling can always be traced to i'm
perfect digestion.
This is the reason why Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets are Superior to all other
spring medicines and blood purifiers
They give perfect digestion; the food does
not lie in the stomach for hours. They
give IL vigorous appetite, sound sleep
strong nerves, and wholesome food well
dgested makes pure blood, and in no
other way can the blood be purified The
idea that medicine, In itself, VIII purify
the blood when the stomach and digestive
organs are out of order is nonsense.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are used by
thousands in preference to "bitters, ar
ter dinner pills. and blood purifiers
because they remove the cause OF the I'M
pure blood. and you do not have to take
them forever to get results. Dyspepsia
is an obstinate disease to cure and "a rem
edy must be designed especially for 1t
and nothing else. Cure-alls will not cure
dyspepsia.
claimed to cure everything or anything
except Dyspepsia and stomach troubles,
and for that it stands alone among pat
ent medicines. Anyone suffering from any
trouble with their digestion will find these
tablets will give immediate relief and a
permanent cure.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are prepared
by the f. A. Stuart Co. of Marshall,
Mich. and sold by druggists everywhere
at 50 cents per package. No dieting nor
change of habits is required; they digest
the food.
