The remains, which DR.. Glazebrook the
Deputy Coroner said yesterday had been

are believed to be those of James Ryan,
a member of Company L. Third Battalion,
United States Engineer Corps, now sta
tened at the Washington Barracks.
Efforts of the Police.
The identity of Ryan was brought
about through the efforts of the Police
Department yesterday. Captain Board
man. head of the Detective Bureau, de-
tailed Detectives Tyser and Trumbo to
enquire into the case. The pair visited
the morgue and examined the body care
fully
The body indicated that the man was
about five feet seven inches tall, and
that his weight was about 145 pounds.
On the front OF the left forearm there
is a tattoo mark resembling cross, and
an indistinct letter K, and another letter
that could not be made out; there was
also scar on the back of the left thumb.
The hair-was of chestnut tinge and in
clined to curl. A long sandy niustache
that had apparently been we'll kept COW
cred the upper lip; on the right OF the
bridge Of the nose was an irregular scar.
The man was about 80 years OF age. The
collar worn bore laundry mark 80.
Map Out a Plan.
With this information Detectives Tyser
and Trumbo laid out plan OF further
procedure. They learned from the Frear
concern that a man named Ryan. who

visit to the Barracks developed that
James Ryan. a member OF the company
and battalion given above, had been miss
ing for about two weeks.
Later. two enlisted men of Company l.
visited the morgue with the detectives
and expressed a positive belief that the
body was that of Ryan. their former COM
rade.
They said Ryan was a plumber py traue
and that he enlisted in Ohio. He .s SAID
to have an aunt, Mrs. Rearcoh, living
in New York.
Question of His Death.
How Ryan got into the river is yet un-
solved. Whether he fell in or jumped in
with the deliberate purpose OF ending
his life will probably never be known.

murdered. There are no rarks of vio-
lence on the body.
The most credited theory of the cause
of death advanced by the police is that
Ryan while away from the barracks had
been on protracted spree. and that white
trying to quietly and unobseryed get back
fell into the river and was drowned.

The skin is the seat of An almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have smooth, soft skin, free from

arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up

What the People Say,

Scarcely day but what we hear some one
say 80 and so told us what nice store you
had, and really we find it a pleasure to deal
here. Everything 50 free and easy, goods so
nicely displayed, such variety Of all kinds,
no matter how good, no matter how cheap, and
this is Just what we need in Alexandria-an
up-to-date, wide awake store" When we
find Tackett, Baker Co. is the subject
of such conversation in the houses OF
this city we know very well that our efforts to
please are not in vain. We want every pa
tron of this store to come again and if any
thing occurs which is in the least unpleasant
please report it and We will be happy to
make amends. We feel dependent upon
the people of this city, and our business
must be conducted upon the most liberal
principles of justice and fair dealing, and as
We have said before every statement we make
is sacred pledge to the public, and whatever
YOU get here. must be reasonably satisfactory
or we buy it back for what you paid. We
propose to keen up the high standard of this
stores reputation, but we have made many
changes and added many new lines, and our
stock of medium and low price goods. together
with our finer grades, gives us a most com
plete stock, 30 that we have calls for but few
goods which we cannot show.
