Macfadden on Physical Culture.

Physical culture was the subject for
thought at the New National Theater last
evening. Bernarr Macfadden, the author
athlete, exemplified the virtues Of whole
some exercise in developing the human
form. Men and women demonstrated what
physical culture had done for them and en-
tertained the audience with an exhibition
of well-rOunded muscles that could be seen
in graceful posing and during the per
fcrmance of feats of strength. Miss Helen
Walse appeared In her graceful Grecian
poses and Miss Beatrice Marshall, the cele-
brated artists model, gave a series of
and stick wrestling by Miss Walse and Miss
Martin exhibited a simple method for exer-
else by girls as we'll as men. During the
evening Mr.. Macfadden and other members
OF his company posed to show their finely
developed muscles. and Mr.. Macfadden
talked briefly on the relation of exercise to
health. He acknowledged that II he had
his own life Of physical training to live
over he would develOpe his muscles more
symmetrically along the lines that are seen
in Apollo by easy exercise rather than by
the straining and hard work that he had
like great knots along the line Of develop
ment seen in the statues Of Roman gladia-
tors. He dealt upon the pleasure of hav-
ing well-developed body in giving perfect
health, and this development. he declared
could be attained by the old as well as
young.
This afternoon at Ais Mr.. Macfadden will
give a Beauty and Health Talk to Wo-
men" This will be for women only. This
evening he will discuss THE Murderous Sci
ence of Medicine" Tomorrow afternoon
and evening there will be similar entertain
ments. at each Of which the physical cul-
ture class will demonstrate what exercise
has done for their own muscles.

A Neglected Corner.

| 10 the Editor of The Evening Star:
| Out of the $4,000 appropriated by Con-
gress for duly receiving and entert aiming
! our distinguished French visitors to the
| Rochambeau unwilling cannot a few dollars
| be used for cleaning up that dirty rubbish
| Uttered corner which lies directly under the
| gaze of the Lafayette group and within
| stones throw of the White House? 1t is
| disgrace to municipal housekeeping,
whether the blame be with the executive
| department or with the District Commits
| sioners. that, with vast sums of money
| spent IN entertaining foreign princes and
| escorting them over the land, and with
magnificent plans in view for the capitals
adornment. a shabby corner like that oppo-
| site the north front of the treasury should
| be tolerated. If no regard for home love
| of decency is to be considered at least, in
| view of the visit of distinguished represent
| atives of foreign courts, these long neglected
| grounds should be cleaned of rubbish, graded
| and made presentable If only with a carpet
| of green grass. The private owners of va
| cant lots have been repeatedly warned by
| the District police not to allow these to be
| extensively Uttered. Here in the most con-
| spicuous spot in the whole city the govern
ment itself allows for two years this I'M
| slightly dumping lot to remain and to be a
| disgrace and humiliation to every citizen or
| visitor who has pride in the appearance or
the national capital. 1t is a poor excuse to
| offer to our foreign guests that this rubbish
| lot is under Immediate control of the eX-
| ecutive department of the government, and
therefore cannot be brought under the ordi-
nary police control of the District,
Another instance of shameful and mex
cusable neglect to which attention has been
repeatedly called in The Star Is that of
allowing the Lafayette monument to re-
/ main without any inscription whatever
showing to whose memory or by whose
| homage it has been erected. Would the
| people of Paris do like that with mopu-
ment erected to Washington's memory? is
| this the kind of national gratitude that we
are DESTROYS of proving to our French visit
ors? The slight is more pronounced be-
| cause it comes from the neglect of the gov
| eminent itself and is not to be laid to the
| District. 1t has been urged that the only
| way to get an inscription put on this noble
monument is to get a stone-cutter inter-
ested enough in pushing it through Con-
| gress for what it is worth as a job; that
| there Is no money In it and politics in
| it, and therefore nobody cares. If that is
the case, could we not have special "emer
gency" department to look after these neg
| lected corners in District or govern
! mental housekeeping and save us from this
modification? RESIDENT.

THE GREAT VANQUlSHER OF ALL
FORMS OF RHEUMATISM.
The Marvellous cure of Mrs. Cook,
of Gardner, Kansas.

Rheumatism, terrible in it's acute.
and long enduring in its chronic form,
is one of the most baneful diseases
that human beings suffer from. 1t is
a disease that will not bear neglect,
for if not treated promptly will re-
main till death to harass, torture and
make life miserable.
rheumatism is also a constitutional
disorder and hereditary. Because of
an inactive condition of the kidneys
and bowels the blood is not purified
and an acrid poison is formed and de.
posted in the muscles and Joints, and
this causes the inflammation and
intense agonies that thousands are
obliged to endure Too often, the
effects of rheumatism are fatal. espe-
cially when the dread disease affects
the heart; then death is sudden.
Many other serious complications re-
suit from this terrible disease, such as
pneumonia, pleurisy, meningitis, and
diaphragmitis, and these often prove

ute, " if that measure embodied the
plainly expressed wish of the people
to substitute license for prohibition,
though he were personally opposed to
the change in public policy the law
was intended to effect?
1t seems to be incumbent on Mr..
Clement and Mr.. Proctor to make
clear their idea of their duty under
the Constitution in the cases present
ed. Mr. Clement is doubtless honest
but mistaken in his political views on
this subject. His business view, as
expressed by his regulations affecting
the habits of his railway employees, is
in close accordance with the principle
of prohibition. To Mr.. Proctor's let
ter attaches the faint of buncombe,
the suspicion of bid for votes in a
pressing emergency. Gen. McOul-
lough's letter presents the view of a
jurist rather than of crafty politi-
clan bidding for political support. 1t
is the fearless expression of a man
who disdains to dissimulate, who
would rather be right than be Gov
ernor.
The diligent employment of the per-
verting process, the incessant chatter
of straddle" by the magpies of the

of the strength and firmness, of Nc
Cullough's position in the matter in
question. 1t is up to his rivals to
match him in the manly honesty and

HIS ORIGINAL QUESTION.

1t will be said that the methods in

McCullough's money is being used to

But the campaign which is being man.
aged in his behalf is none the less cor
rupting and demoralizing in it's re-
suits. Here in our own country we
see the effect of these methods in only
partial and modified way. But how
is it in the State at large? Do our
people realize what methods of politi
cal work in Vermont have come
to mean? Theoretically, the people
choose whom they will have for gov
ernor or for any other public office,
and nominate and elect him. What
actually happens is that the man who

various sums, gagged by their sup

than this, hired men are literally put

the situation is that men whose votes

Honest men who are above such meth
