A CAUSE OF HEADACHE,
One Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked.

Headache is a symptom. an indica-
ton of arrangement or disease in some
organ, and the cause of the headache
is difficult TO locate because so many
diseases have headache as a prominent
symptom; arrangement of the stom-
ach and liver, heart trouble, kidney
disease, lung trouble, eye strain or i'll
fitting glasses all produce headaches.
and if we could always locate the or
gan which is at fault the cure of OBJ
stinate headaches would be a much
simpler matter
However for that form of headache
called frontal headache, pain back of
the eyes and in forehead, the cause is
now known to be catarrh of the head.
and throat. when the headache is loca-
ted in back of head and neck it is Oft
en- caused from catarrh of the stomach
or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most com
mon cause of such headaches and the
cure of the catarrh causes a prompt
disappearance of the headaches
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, new internal
remedy in tablet form, composed of
antiseptics like red gum, blood root.
which act upon the blood and cause
the elimination of the catarrhal poison
from the system through the natural
channels.
Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent
school teacher in one of our normal
schools, speaks of her experience with
catarrhal headaches and eulogies
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets as a cure for
them. She says: II suffered daily from
severe frontal headache and pain in
and back of the eyes, at times so in
tensely as to incapacitate me IN my
daily duties. l had suffered from ca
tarrh, more or less, for years but new
er thought IL was the cause of my
headaches but finally became con-
WINGED that such was the case be-
cause the headaches were always
worse whenever / had a cold or fresh
attack of catarrh.
"Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were
highly recommended TO me as a safe
and pleasant catarrh cure, and after
using "A few fifty-cent boxes which
procured from my druggist / was sur
prised and delighted to find that both
the catarrh and headaches had gone
for good"
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
driGgists AZ fifty cents per package

tors that they contain absolutely NO

RECORDER FINED STRIKER.
Man Who Abused Mr.. I<ehoe Punish
ed I'm Police Court.

ell In Police Court.
Beyond the fining of f. f. Masters
for cursing and abusing Mr.. William
Kehoe, there were no developments
yesterday in the strike at Kehoe's
Iron Foundry, exclusive mention of
which was made in the Morning News.
Masters was arraigned before Re-
corder Myrick in Police Court and
was unable to justify his conduct \
fine of $40 or thirty days was imposed.
The case against p. ]. Griffin, another
of the strikers, was continued until
this morning at the request of the
prosecution. Griffin is charged with
having assaulted E. II. Smith, a nom
union moulder, without provocation.
Smith appeared in court with a dis
colored optic and a swollen lip.
There was no trouble at the foundry
during the day, and Mr.. Kehoe stated
that the men had realized that they
were in the wrong. He said that they
had seen their mistake and understood
that they were being paid more than
any set of men employed in the same
capacity in this section of the coun-
try. Mr.. Kehoe stated last night that
he has agreed to take one or two of
the men back at the old figures, but
that he hasn't room for them all at
this time. He may find room for one
or two more later, but at this time
he has full force of men at work Mr.
kehoe says that he was not incon-
venienced in the slightest degree by
the action of the half-doZen men who
went out.

PatroIman Drew His Pistol.
Several cases of interest were called
by Recorder Myrick in Police Court
yesterday and although the docket was
short the session lasted an hour.
Aleck Baker, a negro arrested by Pa
trolman Furlong of the Atlantic Coast
Line force for having a bag of lead in
his possession supposed to have been
stolen, was remanded for further in
vestigation. The officer testified that
the negro pulled a knife on him and
attempted to take his club. Furlong
was forced to draw his revolver to
bring his prisoner to his senses.
Elizabeth Cuyler, a negro woman ar
rested by Patrolman Sims for cursing
Stella Graham, was fined S. or ten
days, despite the fact that she was
represented by counsel and declared
that she had never used a profane ex-
preston in her life. She charged the
prosecutrix with having cursed her. al
though the Graham woman showed
that she is a Sunday school teacher
and a woman of responsibility.
For the theft of $3.50 in cash James
Pinkney, colored, was remanded for
trial in the Superior Court The pris-
oner was arrested several days ago for
robbing Tony Brooks, a negro con-

ESTIMATES ARE ALL
IN HANDS OF MAYOR.
Artificial stone Walk Planned for
Forsyth Park

The estimates of the several depart
ments of the city were all placed in
the hands of Mayor Myers yesterday,
and will be gone over carefully by
Council at special meetings to be held
next week.
The estimates show just about what
was expected, and most of the informa-
ton has already been given in the
columns of the Morning News. The
fire department asks for a substantial
increase and assures the Council that
it cannot live without at least $1,000
more than was allowed for 1902. This
important branch of the municipality
will be overdrawn about $4,000 when
the year closes, despite the fact that
the money has been judiciously spent
by Chairman Schroeder and his COM
mittee.
Park Commission Wants $23, 100.
The estimates of the Park and Tree
Commission shows that even with
close figuring a considerable sum will
be required during the coming year.
The commission asks for a total APP
preparation of $23, 100, and assures Coun-
ell that every cent, of that amount will
be required if the beauty of the city
is to be maintained In submitting
his estimate to the, Mayor and Alder
men, Chairman Daff1n calls attention
to what has been done by the commits
sion, and urges upon Council the ne
cessity of increasing the appropriation
for 1903. The majority of the alder
men appear to be in favor of giving
the commission a larger sum for use
during the coming year.
Want Artificial stone.
A special appropriation of $500 for
constructing an artificial stone walk
through Forsyth Park is asked for.
The commission does not think that
the middle walk in the park is made
of the proper material. An artificial
stone walk down Bull street would add
greatly to the beauty of the place.
The same sum is requested for use in
Emmett Park. The commission figures
it out that a great deal can be done
with this park for $500. OF course no
improvements can be made in this
place until the courts have finally de-
termined if after all it is really a
park. 1t is expected, however, that the
question will be settled within the
next few months. and the commission
can make good use of the money no
matter what the decision of the court
should be.
Besides the Regular Work.
Besides asking for the two special
appropriations of $500 each. it is
shown that $500 will be required for
the necessary and usual care of the
trees and plants in the parks and
squares. For the unusual care of these
plants and the putting down of new
ones, it is figured that $1,000 will be
required. For clerk hire. stationary,
etc, 5000 must be allowed by Council.
For the necessary and usual care Of
Laurel Grove Cemetery. it is figured
out that at least $500 must be allow
ed. This is just $500 more than was
given for the present year. The appro-
priation for Laurel Grove Cemetery is
always made separate, and the money
allowed for the care of the cemetery
cannot be expended for other improve
ments. The commission asks for just
1900 more than was given for 1902,
and is certain to get an increase.

GIRL ORDERED TO JAIL.
Only 13 Years Old, Hut Brnzen When
Arraigned in Court.

Arrnigned in Court.
Seemingly thoroughly depraved, al
though only 10 years of age, Annie
Sims, white. declared in Police Court
yesterday that it mattered not to her
what punishment was inflicted In
both manner and speech she was bold
and brazen.
The young girl was caught in a raid
on the Xlondike, on York and Price
streets, by Patrolman Harmon Miller,
at an early hour yesterday morning
Nellie Robertson, the proprietress of
the house, and a woman well known
in police circles, Ruby White, claim
ing to be a helper around the house,
and Alfred Codmann, were made pris-
oners at the same time and were ar
raigned with the Sims girl.
After a lengthy lecture from the
court Codmann was permitted to go
and attention was turned to the two
women and the girl. When told that
she had been repeatedly warned to lead
a different life the Sims girl declared
flippantly that she didn't care what
the police did with her. The Robertson
woman made a similar statement de-
claring that she only rented the house
and that it mattered not to her what
went on. She has been in trouble with
the police before, and was remanded
for trial in the City Court. The other
defendants were committed to Jail for
thirty days each without being given
the privilege of paying a fine. Super
intendent Reilly testified that the raid
had been made because complaint had
been lodged that the 13-year-old girl
was an inmate of the dive.

AT THE THEATER

The sale of seats for Rose Coghlan's
production of The Second Mrs. Tan
gueray" Monday matinee and night be-
ban yesterday morning. In THE Sec
ond Mrs. Tanqueray' Rose Coghlan
presents probably the best, and GER
tainly the most discussed, of Pinero's
plays. THE Second Mrs. Tanqueray"
is a woman who appeals to the SYM
pathy of her audience. She is watched
with pity Her struggle against con-
ditions arising from her own sins is
a gallant one, but is conducted against
overwhelming odds. Her recognition
of her failure and sorrow for it, and
her own self infliction, are the chief
causes of her tragic end. The play
has strong scenes, an abundance of
witty dialogue, and is full of brilliant
Pinero bon mots which compel a smile.
There is no exaltation of wickedness,
or abandonment of virtue made palpa-
BILE.
Miss Coghlan's performance of Paula
is said to rank with that of Duse,
Nethersole, Mrs. Kendall and Mrs Pat
rick Campbell. Her gowns and sup
porting company also bear favorable
comparison with her only four COM
petitors who have assumed this most
trying role.
In these days of problem play and
all sorts of questionable stage offer
ings, it is a. refreshing relief to find
at least one actor who is willing and
perfectly satisfied to confine himself
to the more exalted kind of stage pro-
duction, hense the approaching visit
of Howard Kyle, a most estimable
actor, and one whose conscientious
and painstaking efforts will not so
readily be forgotten by those who had
the pleasure of witnessing the per-
Torrance of Nathan Hale last sea-
son. 1t is a pleasure to note that Mr..
Kyle has the best interest of theater-
goers at heart, and thus evinces his
friendly disposition towards them, by
making his temperance here Wednes>
day in an entirely new and original
play Laughter and Lies" of which
Asa Steele is the author.
Laughter and Lies comes inter-
preted by the same company that was
seen in Nathan Hale" and that of
itself is sufficient Endorsement of a
performance of genuine merit. The
new play which has been offered else
where in the South. and has received
most cordial Endorsements contains 4
all the essential elements of melo-dra-
matte and romantic interests, and the
comedy spirit which prevails through
out the entire work is of a quality
quite in keeping with the sentiment
otherwise so necessary towards dra-
matte effect. The sale of seats will
open on Monday morning.

sentative of Bartley7 Campbell's spec
