Told by a Survivor in the September
Nc Clure's
A notable episode OF the Union cam
paign of 1862 IN the West is again
brought to mind by a stirring article
In the September Nc Clure 's-the story
of "Andrew's Railroad Raid" told by
Frank G. Dougherty, one of the parti.
c'pants and one Of the few survivors.
The Union armv was advancing on
Chattanooga, and to prevent the bring
ilg up of Confederate relnforcements
from the South, q raid was planned on
the Georgia State Railroad, running
8 nth to Atlanta. Captain James j..
Andrews skilful engineer and ia
nous scout-with a score of picked
men made the attempt. Passing them
selves off as Kentuckians, on their way
10 enlist IN the Confederate army, they
made their way down the road to Biz
Shanty, there seized a train and pro-
ceeded north, destroying tracks and
emitting wires. they were soon
overtaken, however, and all of them
captured. The RAID was a complete
failure, aud the line of the railroad re-
manned intact until Sherman began
his great march TO Atlanta, two years

There is more catarrh 10 this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced 1t a local disease and prescrib.
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced 1t incurable. Science has
proven catarrh TO be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tioual treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by f. j. ~heney & Co.,

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
Others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

INCREASE IN SERVICE,
Two Additional Trains to Be Run Over
Bluemont Division

Under the present plans Of the officials of
the Southern railway. a large amount Of
money will be expended within the next
year in the improvement Of the Bluemont
division Of the system. which operates be-
tween this city and Bluemont, Va. This
expenditure has become necessary, 1t is
said. on account of the increased business
between this city and points along that
division.
Recently the officials of the Southern rail-
way have received innumerable letters
from persons residing on the line of the
EluemOnt branch and local people who are
in the habit of spending the summer in
Virginia suggesting the necessity of addI-
tional train service. AS result of these
communications the officials of the COM
pany held conference with the petitioners
recently, at which time 1t was agreed to
put two more trains on the Bluemont di-
vision. These will be run for the first
time next Sunday.
Discussing the plans Of the Southern rail-
way, Assistant Passenger Agent Brooks
Morgan stated that the improvements along
the Bluemont division will be in progress
from now until the completion of the new
railroad bridge across the Potomac river
and the erection of the union station, Mr.
Morgan said that at present the only delay
encountered In the transportation Of pas
sengers over the Bluemont division is be-
tween the Washington depot and the Alex
andria junction. This delay. he stated is
section of the system between Washington
the south and the west. With the two new
trains 1t is expected that all such DELAY
can be prevented.

TO PREVENT SMALLPOX,
italian Laborers in Camp to Be Vac
cinated by Officials.

The health department has determined to
undertake a campaign of vaccination in the
camps of the thousands of Italian and other
foreign laborers who have been imported to
this city in connection with the extensive
railroad work projects now under way in
the elimination of grade crossings and the
construction Of a union depot. There Is no
evidence yet of smallpox among the labor
ers, but the department feels that at any
time new recruit to the ranks might bring
the disease from another community. In
that event 1t would be difficult to check the
disease. for the conditions among the labor
ers. although they have been technically
sanitary. are far from that degree of clean
liness which approaches godliness.
In order that no chances may be taken in
this direction the department has ordered
new supply Of vaccine points, and will in
a few days send a corps of physicians into
the settlements to inoculate the men. No
trouble is anticipated, for the laborers are
subject to the will of the contractors, and
the contractors will not care to have their
work stopped by an outbreak of the dread
disease.

MARYLAND FLOATING.
New Cruiser at Last Pulled Into Deep
Water

A dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from
Newport News, Va, last night says: At
high tide the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Dry Dock Company succeeded in re-
leasing the armored cruiser Maryland
which hung on the end of the launching
ways, where she was named with elaborate
ceremony last Saturday.
After fully investigating the condition Of
the ship the officials Of the yard this after
noon made preparations for an extraordi-
nary effort, and when the tide was at its
flood work was begun. The experts at the
yard had figured out that the best way to
handle the ship was by purchases from the
piers and by hydraulic jacks pushing on the
bow Four hundred tons of hydraulic pres
sure was brought to bear on the huge steel
hull and after a start was made the balance
of the work was comparative easy.
The officials of the yard are happy tonight
over the fact that the resources of the i'm
mense plant were equal to the task imposed
upon it by the accident to the vessel. In
an interview tonight General Superintend-
ent Walter A. Post Of the yard said:
You can say that the ship Is absolutely
uninjured There is not even a crack in
her cement work We will put the Mary
land in dry dock in few days for painting
and at that time an examination will be
made, not because we believe her to be in
jured, but simply to make assurance doubly
sure"

GRAY HAIR AND K RAY.
Another Sensational Claim Made for
the Miracle Light.

From the New York Herald
The X ray seems destined in many ways
to pay the penalty Of all sorts of sensa-
tional reports as to its supposed efficacy In
treating intractable diseases. AS might
have been expected, its claims have been
very much exaggerated, even in cases that
offered plausible excuses for their possible
vindication.
The latest news is to the effect that this
mysterious agency is capable Of restoring
gray hair to Its original color. How such
an effect can be brought about no one at
tempts to explain. Nor would 1t be wise to
offer any reason for 1t in the face of GER
tain well-known facts connected with the
physiology of hair and its anatomical char
acter.
All very we'll know that the color of the
hair iS a part of its nutrition and is de-
pendent upon the secretion of a pigment in
certain cells in its~substance. When the
hair loses Its pigment vitality grayness en-
sues natural evolutionary process The
youthful tinge disappears by a common l-w
of progressive decay as age advances. The
hair itself becomes virtually color dead,
and all efforts to restore its former life are
admittedly as futile as similar efforts 10 re-
vivify other defunct processes.
But now the ray must come in as an
alleged miracle worker and give new hopes
for the gray heads. Alas many of the
latter are desperate enough in their vanity
to try any new thing that may present it.
self To such 1t may be necessary to sound
a note of warning.
Even II 1t should prove to be a fact that
the x ray can do what is claimed, the rem
edy is certainly dangerous one to be come
popular. If several hundred exposures
are required. not only will a great deal of
valuable time be lost in the sttings and
many fees exacted. but the positive dam
ages ensuing after such prolonged treat
ment are not to be lightly considered How
to avoid the terrible X ray burns, which
sometimes occur even with experts is still
a great problem. Edison, in a recent inter-
view in the Herald, emphasized this fact in
a manner not to be misunderstood. Thus
there may be a chance, with such as may
be determined to try the new thing, for the
traditional ''old fool to multiply himself
over the land

AUXILIARY TROUBLES
TWO ORGANIZATIONS WITHDRAW
FROM DISTRICT BODY.
Result of the Disagreenents Among
Members Of Spanish War Vet
eran Societies.

The resolutions of Gen. Nelson A. Miles
Command, Spanish War Veterans, directed
to the Mary Sherman Miles Auxiliary to
that organization, which were the cause
of serious complica tons between the two
bodies were returned to Miles Command
at it's meeting last night for such changes
and notifications as the ladies demand be-
fore the resolutions will be accepted In
good faith by the auxiliary The commit
tee which returned the document to the
command consisted of Mrs. Josephine ia
cobs, Mrs Celynda Werner Ford and Mrs.
Ada c. Williams.
The ladies' auxiliary suggests the follow
ing changes in the resolutions: Where it
is stated that Miles Command recommends
that the members of the auxiliary who
withdrew from membership be reinstated."
the auxiliary asks that the clause be
changed to read: Those who withdrew
under a misapprehension be reinstated."
The clause which states 1T is to be de-
plored that the dissensions in the auxil-
larry" &c. be changed to read: 1t is to
be deplored that Miles Command should
have entertained the erroneous impression
that dissensions existed among the mem
bers of the Mary Sherman Miles Auxil-
larry"
That the last clause of the resolutions
be eliminated from the paper.
The committee of the auxiliary presented
the resolutions as amended and modified
to the command last night. and the matter
was referred for final disposition to
committee consisting of Messrs Dolph.
Pearson and Foster, who will report at the
next meeting of that body.
AS a result of the complications between
the officers and members of the council of
administration of the National Auxiliary,
S. w. ", and the District of Columbia aux
:liary and its president, Mrs. Isabel Wor-
rell Ball, given in detail and exclusively
in The Evening Star yesterday. two of the
four local auxiliaries have announced their
withdrawal from the District body, and
another is expected to take similar action
at its next meeting. Those which have
withdrawn are the Mary A. Babcock and
the Edith X. Roosevelt auxiliaries, of which
Mrs. Mary Sanger Driver and Mrs. Lizzie
Calver are the president, respectively. The
Lillian Capron Auxiliary will, 1t is said.
take similar action upon the advice of
Mrs. Lillian Capron, its founder, and for
whom it is named. The remaining auxil-
larry, the Mary Sherman Miles, has not as
yet indicated what action 1t will take in
the matter.
Mrs. Ball is absent from the city, hav-
ing attended the G. A. r. encampment at
San Francisco. Upon her return, her
friends say, she will reply fully and force
fully to the charges which have been filed
against her and her administration by Mrs.

tr1ct Needs.
Commissioner West is taking steps today
to arrange for securing competitive bids
In the matter Of the purchase of eggs for
the Washington Asylum, which includes
the workhouse. the almshouse and the
asylum hospital. From a recent inquiry
Mr.. West learned that approximately 10000
dozen Of eggs are purchased yearly for
these institutions without single line of
agreement with the dealers as to the price
to be charged. 1t was also learned that
the 10000 dozen eggs have been purchased
in the past from one dealer, who also has
a verbal agreement with the property clerk
for furnishing 5000 worth of butter to the
District during the current fiscal year 1t
was believed in connection with the butter
incident that the District was bound by
the verbal agreement. 1t is not believed
that such is the case with the eggs.
Estimating the average price of eggs at
% cents a dozen, which housekeepers will
recognize as a low average, the amount of
the egg contract for the year is approxi-
mately 5000, quite a desirable little plum
for produce dealer.
Mr.. West will recommend that bids be
called for for furnishing eggs during the
remainder Of the fiscal year.

SUSTAINED
CONTROLLER TRACEWELL ON ES-
CHEATED ESTATES RELIEF FUND.
Money Deposited in Treasury Subject
to Requisition of the District
Commissioners.

Controller Traceweu in a decision today
approved the method proposed by Mr.. Car
rison. the auditor for the District for the
treatment of funds left by estates which
have no heirs. E. S. Theall administrator
of the estate of William Won Schepke an
old soldier. who died without rela tives, sent
the Commissioners a check for $1459, to be
distributed In accordance with section 3SS,
District code, which provides:
Section 3SS-If there be no widow or re-
latfons Of the intestate within the fifth de-
gree. which shall be reckoned by counting
down from the common ancestor to the
more remote, the whole surplus shall be-
long to the District of Columbia, to be dis
bursed by the Commissioners of the Dis
trict for the benefit of the poor"
Auditor Garrison's Views.
Auditor Garrison's recommendations to
the District Commissioners were as follows,
as to the disposition of this money:
Under the provisions of the section above
quoted 1t would seem that If said check be
collected by the collector of taxes and the
proceeds deposited in the Treasury Of the
United States as a special trust fund the
money should be subject to requisition Of
the Commissioners to be expended for the
benefit OF the poor as provided in said sec
ton.
IF the money cannot be SO deposited in
the treasury and drawn upon by the Com
missioners the only way in which it can be
made available for the purpose prescribed
by law will be to deposit the amount to the
credit of the disbursing officer of the Dis
trfct to be subject to his official check.
This latter method is undesira BILE.
In my opinion the proceeds of the check
cannot be lawfully deposited to the credit
Of the annual appropriation provided by
Congress for Relief of the poor, District of
Columbia, since that would augment the
appropriation, which is by law, made paya-
BILE one-half from the revenues of the
United States and one-half from the reve-
nues of the District of Columbia, and would
tend to complication of accounts under this
appropriation.
Il respectfully recommend that the mat
ter be referred to the controller of the
treasury for his decision whether the pro-
ceeds of this check, and all other funds ac-
cruing to the District of Columbia In like
manner, may. under the provision of law
herein cited, be deposited in the treasury
of the United States, as appropriated
special fund, to be denominated Escheated
estates relief fund, D. c. subject to the
requisition of the Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia for disbursement in ac-
cOrdance with said section $3.50 of the
Code of the District of Columbia enacted by
Congress-
The controller sustains the auditor In his
contentious.
