publicans today in one Of the most
largely attended and harmonious con-
ventions ever held by the party in Ten
nessee.
Congressman Brownlow was master
of the convention and his wishes were
carried out in every particular. There
was some contention and difference Of
opinion as to nominating a full state
| ticket, but the convention concluded
| that it would make better fight by
having full lineup. The convention
was in session only few hours, bu
there was abundant enthusiasm through
out the proceedings.
The transactions Of the convention
passed off SO smoothly that there is lit
tie to be told except the bare facts.

 April 3rd. With Birmingham.

The baseball season at the University of Alabama opened on March l with a rush and vim which promise great things. The diamond has been put into the pink down to hard work with a zest. There are at present thirty-two applicants for Varsity. which Is splendid showing when the size of the student body is
 Coach stouch, who trained last year's : team and who is now Captain of the At ianta team of professionals, will arrive next Wednesday to begin active work was eminently satisfactory and he hopes to put out Varsity this spring which will wake up things. In fact, the pros poets were never better for sending out University in a number of years A fact worthy of notice Is that nearly all of the applicants are experienced ball play CTS. and there will be some tight races for positions.
 Of last years team Forman is playing for his old position on second: Powe. for shortstop: Donahoo for catcher. F. c. Moore for the box. Mcqueen, Young. Stu art and Stickney are in the field: Ma bors and Coleman. J. A.. have designs on the hox. Of the new men who are try ing for places are Matthews. Robinson. Ellington and Daniel for pitcher: J. W. Little. the crack player of 97. for second lespy. crenshaw. Moody. T. H. smith. Moon. Gray, McMahon. Caffey. Gwinn and Edwards.
 At a recent meeting of the Athletic As- sociation call for contributions was lib- erafly responded to and Manager Powe feels we'll pleased with the financial out look. Captain Forman Is the very man for his place. He Is very popular among the students and Is well fitted by several years experience to direct his men with discretion and sound judgment
 The schedule of games for the season has not yet been completed. but Mama ger Powe states that 1t will be very advantageous one as far as he Is con cerned. There will be two series of games played off the campus-Just where has not been definitely deejded. The first contests of the season will be with the Birmingham professionals on the cam pus. April 3. 1 and g. These games prom ise to be very interesting. as they will show the relative strength of the Varsity for this year.

Washington, March S.-(SpeciaD-The nations capital is fast in the grasp of a plague. Not a plague like the children of Israel experienced-frogs. grasshoppers and droughts-but a plague just as ag- gravating as any Moses ever subdoed with his magic wand It is plague or unclean water.
 For two weeks, while the rains have descended and the floods have held hign carnival in the land, all Washington. ex- cent the President and the rich Con- gressmen and Senators, has been drinking and bathing in a fluid such as the Ftli- pIno water-ox would delight to find. It is thick with mud. alive with wrigglins things and black with. substantial
 things. It is water which has swep' over field and forest. country road and city street, gathering from each its con- tributions peculiar and which has finally found its way into the city mains and thence into the homes of the nations cap ital, unfiltered, unclean, unhealthful, un- bearable.
 The President never sees. smells, feels or tastes it. The water in the White House is pumped from crystal spring which rises to the surface in beautiful city park on Fourteenth Street, and which flows through the cleanest of iron pipes across town by the gentle pressure of patent hydraulic pump. The rich Congressmel and senators are spared the miseries of the unclean water because they either buy expensfve hi- ters for their homes or else they live at luxurious hotels. where Nters are at. tached to every hydrant; where arunclai ice is crushed to clink and jingle in ev- cry glass and perfume mingies witn e~> cry porcelain tubful
 Now can you guess why the population at large Is left to endure the unWaSneo product of the city pipes?
 The District of Columboa has no Mayor and City Council to fear the wrath ,ed od an outraged people at the polls. The town must take what the Congressional District Committee puts upon 1t, and the committee probably does not know the people suffer from unclean water at tnis juncture The newspapers never mention it. ".Vox populi," tax payer. constant reader" and other vigilant citizens write columns about the Cuban tariff and the Tillman- McL5rrin fight in the Senate, but they seem to take the filthy water as a matter of course and drink It down.
 As a result all Washington Is gargiing sore throats or speaking in hoarse whis- pers or lying In bed with levers and pains in the head. It Is a>-notabie CIT cumstances that never before in the his- tory of the District has so many com- plaints of sickness been heard as are now in circulation on street cars. In hotel corridors. in homes and wherever people meet The wonder Is that an cpl demic has not broken out.
 All this is absolutely statement or the situation as 1t exists today. It Is a fact beyond denial. Water placed on the tables at meal times is blacker than cof- fee A bath tub filled with water over night has an inch deep deposit In mud and slime the next morning. conaitioh'

Diseases. They constitute special branch of medicine, and require special study and experience before they can be treated intelligently. The general practitioner who is busy with his general practice has never had the time to devote to Chronic Diseases which Is necessary before per feet knowledge of them can be acquired. Any one, therefore. can see how spe- cialist Is fitted to give better satisfaction in the treatment of these diseases than a busy practicing physician, no matter how competent ha may be-"
 Original Methods
 Dr. Hathaway then explained that each case is given a thorough diagnosis and 'every phase of the trouble Is located and the case thoroughly understood before treatment is begun. He, therefore knows just what each case requires, and at the outset tells his patient just what he can do for him. A special course of treat ment is then prepared In the complete laboratory which Dr. Hathaway has at his command. As 1t is a rare thing that two cases are ever alike, each case is given individual treatment for It's own requirements, and to counteract every ef- feet of the disease on the human sys- tenn. pr. Hathaway uses no obsolete, old-time methods, but his treatment is | in every way up-to-date In his long ex- perience he has originated special modes of treatment which have proven highly satisfactory and vastly superior to the stcreotyped methods of the average doc tor.
 Modern Appliances.
 Dr. Hathaway's offices are equipped with the latest improved appliances of science. such as X-ray. Static. Galvanic and Faradic electricity. which in a great fraao &olr k af lw% AIxn treatment of certain diseases. His cele- brated ozonated Life Cabinet for the treatment of Catarrh. Bronchial and Lung Diseases Is the only apparatus of its kind in the South.
 What He Cures.
 Dr. Hathaway's speciality includes all manner of Chronic Diseases for both men and women-those obstinate. stubborn cases with which so many people are af- fiicted which are a constant burden and slowly but surely break down the entire constitution. He promptly cures cornpli- cated diseases of the Ear. Throat, Ca- tarrh. Rheumatism. all pelvic troubles, diseases of the Bladder. Kidneys and Urinary tract complicated Stomach troubles, Nervous break down, Loss of Vitality. Blood and Skin Diseases, Dis cases peculiar to men, etc.
 Home Treatment.
 Dr. Hathaway has perfected a plan of home treatment by which he has .cured thousands of patients at their own homes. and he now has patients under treatment in almost every State In the Union. Those who reside out of Atlanta should write him fully about their case as he can cure them at their own home.
 FREE CONSULTATION.
 Dr. Hathaway issues a cordial invita- ton to everyone to consult him fully. He will make a thorough diagnosis and examination of each case and charge nothing for his expert opinion and Ad- vice.

Having for a long time known by repu- tation of pr. Hathaway, the prominent specialist a reporter of The AovertlseSs while on a visit to Atlanta few days since called at his offices in the lnmah building. where a most interesting inter- view took place with the doctor.
 The first impression which one forms Of pr. Hathaway is that he is a man or great thoroughness and profound re- search. One readily judges that he Is man who goes to the bottom Of things and is fully informed upon any subject which he undertakes to discuss.
 ".I am glad you called" said the doctor. "as I have always taken great pleasure in informing the public of my special method of treatment. and Will De glao to show you my special facilities for giving skillful treatment to the amicted. I have always dealt with the public In straightforward, business-like as well as professional manner, and there has been nothing during my career which wouio wish to conceal"
 Handsome Offices,
 pr. Hathaway's offices are perfect IT appointment and are so arranged as 'o facilitate the handling of the large mum Der of patients constantly unaer ueae' ment. His suite consists of six rooms there being a parlor for ladies exclusive iy. two waiting rooms for men, the pri' vate and general consultation rooms, cor respondence room and laboratory. In the general consultation rooms pr Hathaway meets his stan of trained and experienced physicians. where compli' cated cases are thoroughly discussed thus his patients have the advantage not only of Dr. Hathawsy's skill. but also that of his staff of experienced special fists.
 Dozens Come and Go.
 How long have you been located in Atlanta, doctor?" tho reporter asked.
 Ten years" was the reply. My prac- tice was. of course, small at first, but I had great faith in the South and be- lIeved that my services would be appre- ciated, when the superiority of my skill became known. My greatest expectations have been realized. and my practice has steadily grown year by year. My aim has always been to give my patients the best attention and most skillfnl treat rnent that could be obtained anywhere. The result has always been satisfactory, and each patient cured has sent me oth- CTS.
 Since I have been established in At lanta dozens of so-called specialists and high-sounding medical institutes have ! opened offices here. and loudly announc- | ed themselves ready to make marvellous | cures After a few months, however they have quietly taken their departure, and are heard of no more. In the mean time, l have pursued my established policy, and my business has shown a steady increase"
 What Is SpecialistP
 Dr. Hathaway was asked to explain in his own words just what advantage was to be obtained by placing ones case in the hands of a specialist. This Is easily explained replied the doctor, although the advantage is not fully appreciated by every one
 If you suffer from an aching tooth. you would. of course. consult a dentist. because he is skilled in this special branch of work. and this skill he has obtained by special study and experience"

not a theory. confronts the dweller in Washington.
 Why the Congressional Committee does not ask and secure an appropriation for city filters Is a great popuiaf conundrum. Filters could be had for a less sum than was spent to entertain Prince Henry. The cost of the special envoys to England s coronation would buy splendid set or filters and save the residents of Wash. ington. nearly three hundred thousand souls, from future plaques of this kind.
 If the Cor gressional committeemen could observe the hundreds of people crowding about q certain hydrant each hour of the day, all armed with pitchers and buckets to catch few draughts of the pure spring water which this partic- ular hydrant gushes forth. perhaps a measure looking to the relief of wash ington would find its way into the halls of Congress.
 But the President has clean water on his table and rich Congressmen ana sen ators live at luxurious hotels. So Who cares what the balance of mankind in Washington endureS!
