Incident Of the War sisnsII<ed with
Gold Medal

From the New York Mail and Ex
press
The fact that the only gold medal
awarded BY congress for an act o.
heroism in the Spanish war is the
fine one which was presented the
other day 10 Lieutenant Frank y.
Neweomb OF the revenue marine ser
vice, does not by. any means signify
that Lieutenant Newcomb was the
only man who performed an act
worthy OF such reward The dis
tinctions Of congress in this respect
have always been somewhat caprici
onsly bestowed. The favors Of the
legislative branch OF the government
OF this nature. are likely TO depend
very much on impulse and they are
also sometimes much bslated Other
gold medals may yet be given BY con
gress for conspicuous acts OF hero
ism performed in that war.
This should not be understood. how
ever. as in the least degree dispara-

exploit OF the war and Of setting a
pattern which the officers and men OF
the army and navy we're not slow
in following Il was a very simple
thing that Lieutenant Newcomb did
one OF those Numerically simple
things that the goddess of fame likes
TO remember. The little torpedo boat
Winslow had gone far inside the
range OF the shore batteries at Car
denas: the brave Bagley had been
shot dead on its deck; it had been dis
abled, was unable to escape and was
likely to be shot to pieces. On the
edge of things lay the big tug Hud-
son-just clumsy ocean tug which
had been taken and pressed into the
rayy's service for hauling things
about. Ii was in command Of Lieu
tenant Newcomb OF the revenue ma
rine--not a professional warrior at
ALL but of that Observation-Disclosures
service which is too commercial to
be warlike and too warlike to be
commercial. There was no war-dog
to go in and seize the Winslow in his
teeth and drag it out. Therefore.
Lieutenant Newcomb, with his old
tug. did that very thing.
He had no apparatus that suited
this little towing operation. but he
improvised il as he went in under the
Spanish fire. Ii was like attacking
Moro castle with a washtub. but it
was successful. When Lieutenant
Newcomb was asked how he did il he
replied. Why. we just hitched on 20
it and pulled il out" He declined
to be regarded as a hero. But. with
this noble medal, the conviction must
be stealing in upon him at last that
he was one. No man was ever more

r Substitute Bill Reported by tn
Committee. or, tn. ni-.rf..

4 Substitute Bill Reported by the
Committee on the District.
Representative Cowherd. Of the Com
miJtee OF the District OF Columbia has
presented TO the House a report on House
bill 1888 to widen the Anacostia Road.
The repc~t recites that the bill is very
much desired BY residents OF the vicinity
affected. as il VIII enable the Colum bia
Railway TO extend its tracks from Watts
Greek TO the District line, and thus give
rapid transit to the people living in that
section. The Commissioners report that
lnasmuch as the railway company has a
right CT way through the Brightwell tract
the biz should be amended 50 that the ex-
tension be made only from the BrightweIl
tract essrerIy 10 the District line
The value Of the land necessary 70 be
condemned IS small, as the property own
CTS have already dedicated most OF the
right OF way. The cost viii probably be
less than SIe1, but thai there may be no
question about This The Commissioners
recommend the bill be amended so that
condemnation prCceedirg gs shall not begin
until 30 per cent Of the land is dedicated.
Section 2 Of thy bill preserves the rule
heretofore established by which the cost Of
street extensions Is borne entirely BY the
District Of Columbia and the property
benefited The committee does not agree
with the recommended tons Of the Commits
sloners that this be amended so that the
appropriation for the condemnation OF the
land be charged equally 10 the revenues
Of the District of Columbia and the Treas
uTy OF the United States. but on the con
tTaTy, the committee reports in accord
ance with the rule which has heretofore
frequently been sustained in the House
The committee recommends the passag ge
Of the bill with the following amend
ments:
Strike out al Of section ! after the en-
acting clause and insert the following as
a substitute:
- That within twenty days after the
dedication Of so per centum Of the land
necessary for the extension and widening
of the Anacostia Road in the District of
Columbia from the BrightwelI tract east
erly 10 the District line, IN accordance
with the record highway extension plans
of the fourth section. the Commissioners
of the District Of Columbia be and they
are hereby. authorized and directed to in
stitute in the Supreme Court of the Dis
tTict Of Columbia sitting as a district
court by petition particularly describing
the lands to be taken, a proceeding in rem
to condemn the remainder of the land that
may be necessary for the extension and
widening Of said Anacostia Road from the
BrightweH tract easterly to the District
line
d" Provided. That Il the court confirms
the verdict award and assessment OF said
jury in manner other than was accepted
by the Comm issioners of the District OF
Columbia as laid down in section 2 of the
public act herein referred TO, the said
Commissioners shall have authority 70 re-
ject such condemnation and award and all
proceedings hereunder shall be nail and
void 9"

efS IN common use are very little, if any,
osIter than the old fashioned salt water

The use Of inhalers and the application
OF salYes, washes, and powders to the nose
and threat to cure catarrh is no more rea-
sonable than 10 rub the back TO cure
kidney disease. Catarrh is Just as much
a blood disease as kidney trouble or Theu-
matism, and it cannot be cured by local
treatment any more than they can be
To cure catarrh, whether in the head
throat, or stomach, an internal autisepuc
treatment is necessary 10 drive the catar-
rhaI poison out of the blood and system,
and the new catarrh cure Is designed on
this plan and the remarkable success OF
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is because being
used internally. it drives out catarrhal IN
fection through action upon stomach,
liver, and bowels
William Zimmerman, of St Joseph, re-
lates an experience with ca taTrh which IS
OF value TO millions of catarrh sufferers

slight nasal catarrh until it gradually ex-
tended to my throat and bronchial tubes
and finally even my stomach and liver be
came affected, but as I was able to keep
up and do a days work l let It run along
until my hearing began 10 fail me and
then l realized that l must get rid OF
catarrh or lose my position. as l was a
clerk and my hearing was absolutely
necessary
Some Of my friends recommended an
inhaler, another a catarrh saIve, but they
were no good in my case. nor was any
thing else until l heard of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets and bought a package at my drug
store They benefited me from the start,
and in l4ss than four months I was COM
pletely cured of catarrh although l had
suffered nearly all my life from it
They are pleasant to take and SO much
more convenient to use than other catarrh
remedies that I feel I cannot say enough
IN favor of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
