The complicated female organism is
so delicately adjusted as to be easily
thrown out of balance. AS result,
health and strength are affected by
divers diseases. Motherhood, family,
society all levy such drains upon her
strength that most women break under
the nervous tension. The demands
upon her nervous strength are much
greater than similar demands Of the
opposite sex. Hence she must be sup

reason women Eel tired and worn out
and suffer from headache, pains in the
back and limbs, etc, is because they
have used up their supply of iron.
Menstruation trouble is largely caused
by lack Of iron.

ON DUTY AT PORTSMOUTH.
President Barr Of the Seaboard Is Re-
cipient of Many Congratulations.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
PORTSMOUTH, Va, December 31.-Mr.
James M. Barr, the new president OF tho
Seaboard, was seen this morning by
representative of The Star. He is naturally
greatly pleased at the vote of confidence
accorded him by the directors Of the system
and during the morning he received many
callers who desired to extend congratula-
lions. kilograms and telephone messages
of congratula ton were showered upon him.
Mr.. Barr, nevertheless remained at his
desk all day attending to the routine bust
ness Of his Office.
He said that he had no statement what
soever to make regarding the policy OF the
railway during his administration as its
president. He has been in charge of the
policy of the road for almost three years
now, anyway, and 1t Is scarcely probable
that there will be any change therein. In
fact the president-elect stated this fact
definitely.
He will retain his offices in the head
quarters building of the road in Portsmouth
and, apparently there will be little change
in the office save a slight addition to the
force He will continue to supervise the
general management of the system as here
tofore.
1t is quite natural that the people who
have recently put their millions into this
property should desire a man Of their own
selection as treasurer. The election of
Mr.. NJ S. Meldrim vice president and
treasurer was the logical outcome of the
recent changes In the property.

Collision on the Carolina Coast Of the
Peoria and Hercules.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NORFOLK, Va, December 31.-The Unit
ed States tugs Peoria and Hercules were
in collision off Currituck inlet on the North
Carolina coast yesterday, and as a result
both vessels were badly damaged The
Hercules, in charge of Lieut.. Douglas, has
returned to the Norfolk navy yard with
her port guard rail forward broken and
splntered. and the boat otherwise injured.
The collision between the two vessels oc-
Cured in heavy sea and was entirely
unavoidable.
The Peoria arrived at Currituck from
this navy yard to relieve the Hercules.
which had been standing by the stranded
submarine boat Moccasin since it went
ashore on December 8. In maneuvering
about the Hercules for the purpose of
shifting the 800 fathoms of hauser attached
to the stranded submarine on the beach,
and the Hercules nearly mile distant, the
Peoria was swept brOadSide with terrific
force against the Hercules. That the blow
was a great one Is evidenced by the splin-
tered condition Of the Hercules guard rail,
which will require some time to repair
Both vessels staggered under the force
of the blow, the Peoria backing off her
starboard guard rail being badly damaged.
Later the Peoria went safely alongside
the Hercules and the hausers attached to
the submarine on the beach were shifted 10
the Peoria, which will await a favorable
wind and tide before attempting to haul
the submarine from her bed in the sand.

PRAISES HIS SUBoRDINArEs
Pension Commissioner Wares New
Year Greeting to His Force.

commissioner Eugene F. Ware of the
pension bureau issued New Year greet
ing to the clerks employed in the office
To-Day, In which he commended them for
the excellent work of the past year and
presented the compliments of the season.
The greeting is headed "a New Years
Greeting to My Co-workers in the Pension
Bureau
The greeting states, in part:
desire, In this. my second New Years
greeting, to again commend the faithful and
conscientious work done In the pension
bureau
ing efficiency, for, although the cases are
becoming more complex, and more difficult
OF adjudication by lapse of time, neverthe-
less the amount of work done in the bureau
is increasing.
THE following shows the number of PEN
sion certificates issued: For the calendar
year of 1901, 100, 1874; for the calendar wear
OF l9O2, ~. 6O5; for the calendar year Of
1903, 100, s2S.
This years work is a record breaker,
and it is very gratifying because it may
be said that the numbers above given do
not show that the bars are in anywise
thrown down, or that the rule of cold evil
dence and cold law is relaxed, but that
more and better work is done both as to
admissions and reflections.
THE old soldiers wish their claims ad-
JudlCdteu, ana nope, II 1t meets your ap-
prevail that the work of the bureau will be
made current and brought up to date with

This would be an achievement that would
warrant national commentator. Do not
be afraid of running out of work; Congress
will keep us busy.
In closing l wish to thank nay deputies
and personal staff for their hearty and
loyal support, and l wish to express again
my admiration for the industry and ability
of the division chiefs and section chiefs
every one of them; and wish to re-express
my gratitude to my fellow workers in the
bureau-clerkS and special eXaminers-for
the skllfull and conscientious manner in
which they are daily discharging their du-
ties.

GOOD SEA MAN N Frs
EVANS FLEET NOT LIKELY TO GO
TO JAPANESE WATERS.
Opinions of the Conservative Officers of
the Navy Likely to Influence the
Action of Secretary Moody.

Although the matter has not been finally
decided Secretary Moody is not disposed to
permit the U. S. Asiatic fleet to go to Jap
anese waters at this time. When Rear Ad-
miral Evans left Honolulu several days
ago his tentative goal was OlOngapo, Luz
zon, where it had been planned his squad
ron should engage for some time In target
practice Since the squadron sailed the
Russo-Japanese question has become decid-
eddy acute and among the younger naval
officers there is a strong wish that Admiral
Evans be instructed to change his course
and take his squadron northward In the vi
cinity of Nagasaki. 1t is pointed out that
it would be highly advantageous from
naval view point for our squadron to be
within observing range of operations In
case Russia and Japan go to war.
The more conservative officers of the
navy, of whom Rear Admiral Taylor chief
Of the bureau of navigation, is the chief eX-
ponent. are not in favor of sending our
ships to the scene of war, for the reason
that it is not believed to be good sea man
ners' for warships of a neutral power to
hover around within the range of probab BILE
conflict between two other powers. 1t is re-
called that the presence of the German
fleet at Manila bay is not a pleasant MEM
DRY to the Washington government. and for
that reason the administration is disposed
to shape the movements of Admiral Evans
feet so as to convince both Russia and
Japan of the absolute neutrality of the
United States.
Already the departure of Admiral
Evans fleet to it's regular station in the
far east has been misinterpretedi IN some
quarters an indication of th0&moral
sympathy of the United States for Japan.
There is authority for the statement that
this Interpretation is wholly incorrect
and that when Admiral Evans was first
ordered to bring squadron to Honolulu
on a tactical cruise his instructions were
that he would return to his station
shortly after his arrival at the Hawaiian
Islands.
Another evidence of the cIoseness with
which Russia and Japan are watching the
movements of our Asiatic fleet is the in
ton unofficially that Russia will greatly
the east calculated to encourage Japan in
her present warlike moment Of course
the Russian government has no idea Of
suggesting or of inquiring anything about
the disposition of our ships. and it is said
that Russia has every confidence OF the
strict neutrality Of this government in case
of war in the far east.
CablegramS regarding the far eastern
situation and giving him specific nstruc-
tons regarding the disposition of his ships
will be awaiting Rear Admiral Evans from
the Navy Department wnen he arrives at
Guam.
If war comes the United States wishes
and expects, in view of her friendly rela-
lions with Russia and Japan. that her naval
attaches shall be given every opportunity
for observing the operations from the ships
of both powers.

IN THE INDIAN SCHOOLS.
Superintendent Estelle Reel Reports
Nearly 90 600 Pupils.

Estelle Reel. superintendent Of Indian
schools. in her annual report to the conf
missioner of Indian affairs. calls attention
to the advancement made by Indians in

Indian character as an aid in teaching
self-support in the shortest possible time.
The enrolment of pupils last year was
nearly 5000. and the employees In Indian
school work have increased from 221 in
1877 to almost 5000. The Indians have UNI

For Discovery and Accounting.

Proceedings in equity have been insti-
tuted by Martha s. Coxson, through At
torney S. Herbert Giesy, against the Stub
blefeld Banking and Trust Company and
others, for discovery and an accounting.
According to the complainant she borrowed
$3.50 of the Stubblefield Company April 5,
1903 giving eleven promissory notes for SIS
each, and one note for $1S5, the payment
of which was secured by deed of trust
to lot 4, in square 191 of the city of Wash
ington. OF the $3.50 she borrowed. 1t is
stated, $50 was deducted by the Stubblefield
Company for making the loan.
The property was advertised and sold for
non payment of the notes. but, according to
the complainant, the secrecy attending the
sale and other circumstances We're such as
to render 1t Yoidable.

Academy Of Music Nearly Empty.

Academy Of Music Nearly Empty.
Ample evidence that modern legislation
has failed to make all theaters safe was
given at the Academy of Music fire in
Brooklyn on the morning OF November ~
last. The great auditorium was draped for
dinner to be held that evening in honor of
Senator McCarren, and though hardly
dozen men were in the structure, they were
compelled to run for their lives within
few minutes of the appearance of the
flames. The dominant note in all stories of
the fire was one of thankfulness that 1t
had occurred when the house was empty,
for the result showed that had 1t taken
place while the theater was filled the story
of its bhrning might have been such a hor-
ror as now comes from Chicago, instead of
the loss of one man who fingered to save
another's property.
Paris Bazaar's Victims $50.
OF lesser magnitude than the Brooklyn
theater fire was the destruction of the
Paris Charity Bazaar May 4, 1897. The re-
vised list of dead totaled $50. A crowded
charitable bazaar was in progress in the
Rue Jean-Goujon, of which many promi
nent persons were in charge. There were
about 1000 persons present when the fire
started. Many Of these were titled person
ages.
The fire originated at the left side of the
bazaar. The iilumfna ting apparatus Of the
clnematograph exploded and set fire to the
Turkish curtains and hangings. In few
minutes the flames spread along the whole
side of the bazaar. The crowd Immediately
fled to the right side of the building. There
were eight doors, four in the front and four
in the rear. The rear doors. however, were
for employees, and the public did not know
of them aud crowded toward the front
doors only
The firemen, who were early on hand, be-
gan throwing water upon the struggling
mass of humanity, but with little effect.
Close to the bazaar a portion Of the Palais
de L1ndustrie. on the Avenue Danton was
being pulled down. Sheets were spread on
a portion of that demolished building and
the bodies were laid out there. In a short
time at least $50 persons had been taken to
the hospitals.
AS the bodies were identified 1t was seen
that society had suffered. a severe blow,
ana that many Of the dead were titled or
among the best-known people in the French
capital For days afterward the list grew.
among the dead being Duchesse d'Alencon.
SISTER OF the late Empress Of Austria. The
Duchesse d Uzes. who presided, was among
the injured One of the most horrible fea-
lures or this fire was the cowardice dis
played by many of the men, who beat down
women and children and left them to their
rate. Many such stories were told by the
survivors, viz
