LONG-LOST JEWEL.
Brooch Valued at $3.50, Lost in 1899,
Recovered by Detective.

A diamond. moonstone and turquoise
brooch, worth about $50, thought to be the
property of Miss Audrey Pauncefote daugh-
ter OF the late British ambassador, was re-
covered yesterday by Detective Lacy. A
similar brooch was lost by Miss Pauncefote
in December, 1899. while on her way from
the theater to the Gordon Hotel. Yester-
day the ornament was taken to jeweiry
store to be repaired, and Martha Brown,
colored, Of $50 Goth street in whose posses
sion 1t was. expressed willingness to sell it
to the jeweler for IS. Because of this offer
the detective was sent for.
Martha told the officer that she had re-
ceived 1t from cabman named John Bren-
nan. The cabman was found and he said
he purchased 1T from another cabman, who
died about a month ago. The explanation
was entirely satisfactory and the colored
woman willingly allowed the police to keep
the brooch. 1t will be sent to London for
identification.

MUST REMAIN CLOSED.
Opinion of Corporation Counsel Affect
ing Barber Shops.

In an opinion submitted to the Commits
sioners today the corporation counsel holds
that no barber shops in the District can
be opened Sundays even If no business be
transacted This opinion was rendered
upon the application of local tonsorial
artist who desired permission to open his
shop on Sundays in order to shine shoes.
He stated that he had chairs for this pur-
pose in his shop, and that If he should be
allowed to open his shop, he would cover
all barber chairs and not conduct a barber
business.
The corporation counsel quotes para
graph of one of the earliest laws of the
CORPORATION of Washinton which prohibits
the opening Of barber shops or places
where such business is done on Sunday"
He interprets this to mean that shoes can
not be shined on that day in barber shop.

ETERNAL MEDICATION.

Peace and harmony is worth more to the people of Arkansas than the vindication of Jeff. Da- wis. lift IS admitted that he is right. he should not be elected to a third term, for the reason, If for no other. that he is ever in a difficulty and a turmoil with ey- official with whom he comes in contact. At the opening of the last legislature a majority of the members were undoubtedly friendly to him, but in a few days they had been alienated by the unbearable conduct of the Gov. toward them. We asked a clerk in one of the departments at Little Rock a few days ago why 1t was that he IS not now friendly to the Governor when we knew that he had been a shouter for his excellencv. Well" he said, nobody can come in contact with Governor Davis in the daily discharge of duty and keep on friendly terms with him. o So We say that in the interest of peace and harmo- ny Governor Davis should not be re elected As to vindicating him we feel sure he will need yin dica ton more at the end of third term than he does now. He needs 1t now more than he did when he was first elected and as time goes on he will still stand in need of vindication more and more .-Log-Cabin Democrat.

 In the first opening ot Oklaho- ma to settlers Tn 1889, the editor ofthis paper was among the many seekers after fortune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his travelling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him very se- we're diarrhGa which t seemed al most impossible to check, and along in June the ease became so bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Cham berlain' s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhna Rem edy as last hope. A big dose was given him while he was roll ing about on the ground in great agony, and in a few minutes the dose was repeated. The good eff feet of the medicine was soon mo- ticed and within an hour the pa tient was taking his first sound sleep tor fortnight. That little bottle worked . complete cure, and he cannot help but feel grateful. The season tor bowel disorders be. ing at hand suggests this item. For sale by Brown, McQuiston & Go.
