The cotton mills of the Edwards
Manufacturing Co. will be closed the
first of August, and remain closed for
one month The reason for the shut
down is that extensive repairs are to be
made about the mills, which includes
the introduction of two new 5'-inch
Victor wheels. There is also consider
able work to be done about the canal.
The new wheels will give an appre-
ciable increase in power over the ones
which they are to replace. In addition
to the work mentioned above there will
be considerable work of minor char
acter done around the mills. Between
1000 and 100 people will be affected by
the shutdown, and it is said that many
of them will take advantage of the OPP
portunity and spend their vacation in
Canada,

GOOD ACTIONS.
A DUTY WOMEN OWE THEMSELVES.

Wood actions speak louder than
words" SO too, does the testimony Of
many thousands of women during third
of century speak louder than mere
claims not backed by a guarantee of
some kind. That Is the peason why the
proprietors of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription are willing to offer $500 re-
ward for women who cannot be cured.
Such a remarkable offer is founded on
the long record of cures of the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women. If
there is an invalid woman, suffering from
female weakness, prolapsus, or falling Of
womb, or from 1eucorrhea who has used
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription with
out complete success, the undersigned
proprietors and makers of that world
famed medicine would like to hear from
such person-and it will be to her advan-
tage to write them as they offer, In per-
feet good faith, a reward of $500 for any
case Of the above maladies which they can
not cure. No other medicine for wom-
ans ills is possessed of the unparalleled
curative properties that would warrant
Its makers in making such an offer.

THE NAVAL BILL.
Provision Made for Three Battle Ships
Of 10000 Tons Displacement.

The conferees OF the two Houses on the
naval appropriation bill reached an agree
ment at 10 o'clock last night. The Senate
surrendered on the principal item Of dis
agreement, the amendment relating to the
increase Of the navy. The provision as
agreed upon provides for three battle ships
Of 10000 tons displacement and two battle
ships Of 1900 tons displacement, and en-
tirely eliminates the provision for cruisers
The matter Of naval increase was the
chief matter in controversy The House
conferees insisted on the provision in the
House bill for three large battle ships and
one large cruiser, while the Senate con-
ferees were equally insistent upon the re-
tention of the Senate amendment providing
for smaller warships.
The effect Of the agreement is that the
House program Is accepted, except that two
Ii 0O0-ton battle ships are substituted for
one cruiser. 1t is provided that the ships
authorized may be built by contract or at
the navy yards, and shall be built at the
navy yards If 1t Is found that combination
of shipbuiiders exists.
The provision for an increase in the per.
sonnet of the navy remains as the bill
passed the House, including an increase in
the number Of midshipmen, but the in
crease Is to continue until 1913 instead of
1909, as fixed by the Senate. Under the
agreement members Of the Fifty-seyenth
Congress may appoint midshipmen where a.
vacancy exists and was not filed and
where an appointment was made and the
appointee failed Of admission Porto Rico
Is given midshipman. The age limit for

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
Justice of Peace Decides That Liquor
License is Attachable.

Halbert E. Paine, justice of the peace OF
GEORGETOWN district, yesterday afternoon
rendered a decision in connection with the
proceedings instituted by Mary A. Colbert
against Joseph Cannon, the justice holding
that a retail license is attachable under the
law. The suit was entered to recover the
sum of $3.50, alleged to be due as rent for
premises on NJ street near 32d street, which
are owned by the plaintiff and conducted as
a saloon by the defendant. Hearing in the
case was had several weeks ago, when
Judgment was rendered in favor or the
plaintiff In due time, the order was carried
Into execution, the retail liquor license pelhg
attached.
There was 1t is understood some doubt
in the mind of the justice of the peace as
TO the legality of such action, and in conse-
ouence he took the question under consld-
Grafton. Mr.. Edward Forrest, attorney for
the defendant. maintained that a retali
liquor license is not a personal chattel ana
was not subject to attachment. This argu-
rnent was overruled, and in rendering his
decision yesterday Justice Paine held that 1t
was legal 10 attach the liquor license, but
the transfer of the same must be deter
mined by the excise board of the District
and the property owners of the immediate
vicinity of the establishment.
Work on the addition to the Georgetown
University Hospital will probably be COM

which is 80 feet deep with frontage of 100
feet directly east of the institution, and
donated 1t to the hospital authorities. The
new addition will contain twenty rooms and
eight wards, and will relieve the congestion
at the institution.

him over hedge into field where dozen
red-and-yellow tented booths were clus-
tered.
"These are Thorgrim Svensson's tents"
he explained, following as coolly as though
that were the accepted mode Of entrance.
"Yonder he tS-that lean little man with
the freckled face. He Is great sea-faring
man. l promise you that you will see many
precious things from all over the world"
Approaching the booths, Alvin had imme-
date proof of this statement, for bench and
bush and ground were Uttered with gar
ments and furs and weapons, and odds and
ends Of spoil, as If ship had been over
turned on the spot. The lean little man
whom Rolf had pointed out stood in the
midst of it all, examining and directing.
He was dressed in coarse homespun
of the d1ngy coiors of trading vessels,
gray and brown and rusty black,
which contrasted oddly with the mantle Of
gorgeous purple velvet he was at that mo-
ment trying on. His little freckled face
was wrinkled into a hundred shrewd puck
ers, and his eyes were two twinkling PIN

meet his visitors: and the men who were
helping him paused and looked at the thrall
with expectant grfns.

SON Of Endlang. Bad luck has made him
Leif's thrall, but his accomplishments have
made me his friend"
He spoke with the utmost mildness. mere

luxuriousy as they walked along. They
passed many Viking camps, gay with
streamers and striped linens, where groups
Of brawny fair-haired men wrestled and
tried each others skill, or sat at rough
tables under the trees, drinking and singing.
In one place they were practicing with bow
and arrow; and, being quite impartial In
their choice Of target, one of the archers
sent shaft within an inch of Rolls head,
purely for the expected pleasure Of seeing
him start and dodge. Finding that neither
he nor Alvin would go a step faster they
rained shafts about their ears as long as
they were within bow-shot, and saw them
out of range with a cheer.
The road branched into one Of the main
thoroughfares, and they met pretty maidens
who smiled at them, melancholy Ministries
who frowned at them. and grim mouthed
warriors whose eyes were too intent on
future battles even to see them. Occasion
ally Rolf quietly saluted some young
guardsman; and, to the thralPs SURPRISE the
warrior answered not only with friendli-
ness but even with respect. 1t seemed
strange that one Of Rolls mild aspect
should be held in any particular esteem
by such young fire-eaters. Once they en-
countered a half-tipsy seaman, who made a.
snatch at Rolls apple, and succeeded ir,
knocking it from his hand into the dust.
The Wrestler only fixed his blue eyes upon
him In long look. but the man went down
on his knees as though he had been hit.
Il did not know 1t was you, Rolf Erlings-
son." he hiccoughed over and over in maud
lin terror. Il beg you not to be angry"
1T Is seldom that have seen such cow
ard as that" Alvin said in disgust as they
walked on.
Rolf turned upon him his gentle smile.
1T is your opinion. then, that a man must
be a coward TO fear me?"
Alvin did not answer Immediately; OF q
sudden It occurred to him to doubt the
Wrestler's mild manner.
While he was still hesitating. Rolf caught
him lightly around the waist and swung

ingly. Rolf stretched himself comfortably
IN the long grass and made pillow Of his
arms. Alvin squatted down, his back
planted against the fence, the book open
on his knees.
The reading matter was attractive
enough, with its glittering characters and
rose-tinted pages, and every initial letter
inches high and shrined in azure-blue
traceries. But the splendor Of the pic
tures!-no barbaric heart could resist them.

II the draperies were wooden-the hands
and the feet ungainly? They had been
drawn with sparkles of gold and CLEANS of
silver, in blue and scarlet and violet, until
nothing less than a stained-glass window

radiance. Rolf warmed into unusual heart

He spread the book open on a spot Of
clean turf, stretched himself on his stom-
ach. gripped one leg around the other.
planted his chin on his clenched fists, and
began.
It was slow work. He had forgotten a
good deal; and every other word was linked
with distracting memories; his mother
leaning from her embroidery frame to fol-
low the line with her bodlkin; his mother,
erect and stern, bidding Brother Ambrose
bear him away and fog him for his idle
ness; his mother hearing his lesson with
one arm around him and the other hand
holding the sweetmeat she would give him

Rolls eyes were gradually closing, and his
bated breath frightening into long even
sighs He plodded on and on.

curve swept a party Of the kings guards
