John Donohue, of Chatham, N Y, suffered from
Scrofula and Eczema for many years. All the doc
tors he consulted failed to give him any relief. At
last, Mr. Barringer, his druggist, advised him to
take DR.. Kennedy's medicine, Cal-cura Solvent.
He did so and from the very first bottle he was ben
Gifted. The painful and foul appearing eruptions
his face, hands and body all disappeared and he
has not been troubled with the disease since.
Women are more frequently afflicted with
skin eruptions than men. Their confined
lives, and carelessness about their eating
and bowel movements, tend to produce
the chronic skin troubles that worry and
disfgure them for years. A treatment with
Cal-cura Solvent restores health and good
looks. Refuse substitutes.
Send to the Cal-cura Company, Dr. Ken
nedy Row, Rondout, n. Y, for free

druggists. One size only.
Remember: Only one DR.. David Ken
nedy ever lived in Rondout, City of Kings
ton, N. Y, and the name of his neU and
latest medicine is Cal-cura Solvent.

often last for years; sometimes all ones
life. They just stay and stick, like the
dreadful visitor who never goes or accepts
hints that you are tired of his company.
Skin diseases are efforts of nature to get
rid of poisons in the blood or in the super
fetal tissue. Kill or expel the germs and
the disease disappears, and the infamed

QUEER FISHING METHODS
OF THE CREEK INDIANS

The 'syVelettka American" gives an In
teresting account OF how the Greek Ind
ians FISH. The methed employed by
these Indians Is both peculiar and In
genious They gather a large quantity
OF devils shoestring." a native herb,
and after pulverizing it In a gunny-
sack, dump it into the river. The effect
of this herb on the fish is much the
same as corn juice on the uninitiated
They become crazed and rise to the
surface.
The Indians. stripped to the breech
elout. stand on either bank with bow
and arrow. They are such expert marks
men as to be able to hit a fish across
the river. 1t often takes five or six
arrows to finish the larger fish. The
women dress a sufficient number of the
catch and they are cooked In many
different ways for the feast incident to
sports of this kind. The Indians are
very hospitable and always invite any
whites who happen to be present TO
partake Of the feast A preaching ser
vice is held as a sort OF side attrac-

Senator Teller OF Colorado, who is
among those in the Senate opposing
the Cuban reciprocity measure. was
asked at the Riggs last night whether
he knew OF any basis for a report cur
rent that the Senate would dispose OF
the bill and adjourn by November %
He promptly replied that anyone making

unued, '-and il viii not be disposed OF

POLICE PROBE RECORD
OF BOLD HIGHNAYNAN
Investigation Throws New Light on
History of Charles Smith, the Ne
gro Who Shot Two Policemen.

Police investigation has not improved
the known record Of Charles Smith. the
negro who on Friday night shot Police
men Osburn and Edwards. The latest
discovery is that two months ago he
fired twice at a negro with whom he
had a dispute on Sixth Street near the
Pennsylvania Railroad station. The
police have also found that instead of
living at IlO5 New Jersey Avenue south
east. as he said. the negro resides at
49, Missouri Avenue northwest
Crossing Policeman G. w. Osburn,
whose leg was broken by Smiths first
bullet, is reported by the physicians of
the Emergency Hospital better, with
every prospect for speedy recovery
The Dairy Lunch Association Will hold
a meeting on Tuesday night to take ac-
ton on the heroic effort Of Policeman
Osburn TO arrest Smith. and 1t is an
nouneed in advance that the members
viii not stop short Of a large contribu-
ton for his bravery.
When arraigned in the Police Court
yesterday morning on a charge of rob
b.ry, hOusebreaking and two charges OF
assault with intent to kip, made upon
Edwards and Osburn, Smith pleaded
not guilty and Judge Scott, at Abe In
stance OF Prosecuting Attorney Ralph

caves. The white man on his coming
converted the clay into brick and built
the mansions which IN the cities and on
countryside he inhabits.
This seems to be the history Of the
whole tidewater section Of which the
District of Columbia forms a part. That
portion south o. the Aqueduct Bridge
and the Long Bridge Is being rapidly
transported to furnish in the form OF
bakeC clay. the superb edihces OF the
seat of government. The tendency OF
civilization seems TO be to level the
hills, doing artificially what the rains
and storms do naturally. The city OF
Alexandria is almost the opposite of the
old city OF Georgetown. for while
Georgetown rises from the rivers edge
to heights that are almost mountainous,
Alexandria rises but slightly above the
river. the highest points in that city
being only about forty-eight feet above
tide water. The site OF the present
postoffice building in Prince Street. and
Peabody School building, in King Street,
are the highest points within the town

the range OF highlands enable their
jewellers TO look down upon lowland
neighbors.

MAILS IN CHICAGO
NOT INTERFERED WITH
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Anticipates No Serious Trouble
in Windy City

W S. SHaIlenberger. Second Assistant
Postmaster General whose bureau has
charge Of all mail transportation. re-
ceived a telegram yesterday stating that
the mail service on the Chicago street
railways had suffered no serious inter
ference as a result Of the strike. and
the postal officials In That city do not
expect conditions 10 become worse. In
discussing the situation General Shall
lenberger said:
We feel that the local authorities are
capable of handling the strike and Fed
eral troops would not be used except as
a last resort. We do not want either
side to think that the Government is
trying to settle the strike. and II II were
settled by reason OF the use OF Federal
troops there would be no permanency
TO the situation.
ut must be remembered that If the
company cannot deliver the mail by its
cars it may adopt wagons or other
means. Any loss or important delay re-
sulting from the adoption OF other
means would be chargeabie to the com
pany;'
The principal source OF difficulty is
apt to come from an attempt by the
company officials 10 run a passenger
car attached to a mail car. but in such
case the Government viii protect
only the mail car. Cars not actually
carrying the mail viii not be afforded
protection, and cars which carry the
mail over a portion of the route will
receive Government protection on only
that much Of the trip. These cars must
have detachable signs to be taken off
hen the mail is discharged.
