When the butter won't
come Put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomaChs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

THE JANE MOSELEY.

The pleasure seekers of the District
are down for good time this summer,
and The Jane Moseley, the magnificent
and palatial steamer owned by the
cCIored people and operated by The
Freedman's Transportation Land and
Improvement Co., has been rugged up
IN gay attire for the summer season.
The officers of this company are wide
awake, intelligent aggressive men, and
they viii leave no stone unturned to
I'LL the bills to the fullest measure
and to the pleasure and comfort of
those, who will run excursions down
the Potomac the coming season. The
Jane MoSeley has been oVerhauled, re
painted, refurnished, reupholstered and
equipped in up to date fashion; and
is now ready to receive charters. The
company owns its own wharf and
offers the very best inducements to
clubs, churches, lodges and societies
for charters. Mr.. Lewis Jefferson the
general manager, assisted by his en-
terprising secretary, Mr. James L.
Nei1l, in speaking to the Washington
public say that they are going to, and
are anxious to give the public it's
moneys worth. They have the con-

ALnerlcan papers in the
oounlIy. Mr. Leweys course in the
te, S@|oe u Mr. McGourln might well have
Deen expected of him. 1t is in absolute
accord with the high principles which
nave ever dominated his life.
Mr. McGOurin has made a conscian-
nous, upright and impartial official
ms loyalty to the party was unoues-
ClonaDle, ne had the endorsement of the
party leaders for re-appointment and
MI. LeWey felt that the nomination of
Captain Northrup was, under the cir
cumStanceS, at Cnce an Injustice to
and a reflection upon the incumbent
and that all right thinking Republi
cans were morally bound to suDport
the latter Tor reappointment. Hence
the activity and hence the admirable
result. Mr.. Lewey'S motives in es-
pOuSlng Mr.. McGOurin's cause were
not altogether CIR essentially poIitical
Ardent himself in the promotion of all
the material interests of his state.
without regard to the narrowness of
Negro elevation purely, he has ever
found kindred spirit in Mr. Nc
GOurin, who has always been equally
ambitious that the state should at
tain a high position in galaxy of sue
cessful cOmmOnwealths and who was
ever public spirited and prepared to
make every personal sacrifice to that
end. In thus eulCgizing Mr. Lewey for
the great success accomplished in this
matter, just tribute should not be
withheld from Hon. John Eagan, U. s.
Attorney for the NortherP District of
Florida, who was a member of the
delegation to Washington, who prior to
their departure from Florida prepared
all the many papers incident to the
proper presentation of the matter tC
the President, and who contributed in
a large measure to strengthen the
hands of Mr.. Lewey in his quest.
During his visit to this city, Mr..
Lewey has been the recipient of much
attention and has proven as welcome
and genial in WashingtOn's social cir
cles as he has been influential and
successful in the political field.
Governor Pinchback, Recorder Dan
cy, Judge Terrell, Editor Cooper, Law
yer Reuben s. Smith, Register Lyons
and Assistant Register Cyrus Field
Adams, have been among the many
prominent Washington residents who
have given Mr.. Lewey the proVerblal

0UINS EnQ IN lINMs.

A war of words between City Clerk
Chas. Tamme ana alderman NJ. NJ.
McSchooler, on jackson street, near
the Jameson residence this afternoon,
was followed by a fistic encounter in
which the alderman came off second
best. Mr.. Tamme had made applica-
ton for the license owed by the
transfer man to the city. He failed to
get it and liked moi the manner OF the
refusal. 1t seems that the alderman
is some two years In arrears, and
other men in the same business have
chen doing some Kicking. One word
led to another till the English lang
uage became inadequate TO convey the
sentiments of the gentlemen, and the
alderman jumped down from mis- trans
fer wagon to express his views ore
emphatically. He was met half way
BY the clerk. ami a light lively mill
followed.
The city clerk is gray haired and a
light weight, but he is why and active
and courageous enough to tackle a
buzz saw in full operation. Tie al
herman while heavy is slow and pom
derous. The clerk jumped all around
him and coming under his guard got
in several effective blows in the face.
Mr.. McSchooler retreated to his wag-
on. Some further parleying took
place, after which the men parted, not
the best OF friends.

w. r. Fall Pinched.

A report from Ell Paso says that
Captain w. r. Fall, deputy collector
Of customs at the SUPPORT Of Colum
bus, N. NJ, was held under arrest by
the Mexican authorities at that place
several hours Sunday, owing to strain
ed relations between the American
cattle men and Captain Fall and Lieu
tenant Martinez, commanding the
Mexican rurales.
The trouble, 1t appears. was ovel
the excessively rigid rulings Of Mar
tinez, who seized the property Of COW
boys travelling from n place to an.
other in the United States over a wind
ing road which goes between the two
republics.
1t Is likely that q special agent will
be sent out from washington to In
vestigate, the matter having been re
ported there. The Mexican officers
have also notified President Diaz.
The cattlemen say the trouble comes
from the activity which Captain FalI
has shown in the prosecution Of Mex
lean smugglers. and that Martinez
acted in retaliation.
