Pursuit Of Beauty

would have been a desert, and our
own knowledge little more than a
blank. What, for instance, should
we know of Egypt If we did not go to
the Art of Egypt? How evanescent
have been the politics of Greece! Yet
its Art survives. The Constitution of
Rome and the policy of the Caesars
are seen only in the Art of Rome and
the buildings they made. Everything
we touch is Art; and when politics is
dead Art remains, and must always
remain, alive. for though politics
works for the moment Art works for
all time.

BY the study of Art the mind of the
rising generation may be developed
not only along natural, as opposed to
artificial lines, but toward that appre-
citation of beauty which is priceless
possession in itself, since it fills every
waking moment with joy which moth
ing can destroy.
The mere fact that ordinary people
have pictures of some sort in their
homes should not in itself be taken as
evidence of taste. Art is the drawing
of the, best. Z

"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-A while
ago my health began to fail because OF
female troubles. The doctor did not
help me. remembered that my mother
had used Lydia L. Pinkham'S
Vegetable Compound on many oc-
casions for irregularities and, uterine
troubles, and felt sure that it could
not harm me at any rate to give 1t .
trial.

within a week l felt much better, the
terrible pains in the back and side
were beginning to cease, and at tho
time of menstruation l did not have
nearly as serious time as heretofore,
so continued its use for two months,
and at the end of that time was like
a new woman. I really have never
felt better in my life, have not had q

pounds more than l ever did, so un-;

CLEANSING OF MILK CANS.
Commissioner Mcfarland Decides to
Recommend Regulation.


AS a result of the hearing before the
Commissioners on the proposed regulation
providing for the cleansing of milk cans
by the milk dealers before returning them
to the farmers, Commissioner Mcfarland,
who has supervision Of the health depart
ment. expresses himself as being more con-
vinced than ever that such a regulation
should be made. 1t appeared at the hearing
that the need for the regulation was
greater than had been supposed even from
the numerous complaints that had been re-
ceived and the official reports of the in
spectors of the health department; also
that a considerable number of the milk
dealers had been for some time in the
habit OF cleansing the milk cans before re-
turning them to the country. They stated
that 1t did not involve any considerable ex
ira expense. In order that the practice
may be universal. and after considering
with the health officer the different sugges-
lions made at the hearing, Commissioner
mcfarland has determined to recommend
to the Commissioners an amendment to the
police regulations which shall provide as
follows:
That any person in the District of Co.
lumbia who receives milk or cream for sale,
Immediately after emptying the receptacle
In which such milk or cream has been re-
ceived, shall thoroughly rinse such recep-
tacle so as to free the same from all rem

such receptacle to be so rinsed; and no per-
son in said District shall put or, having
power and authority to prevent, permit to
be put into any receptacle which is com
monty used for the storage or delivery of
milk or cream for sale anything which is
filthy or offensive or any refuse matter of
any Kind. Any person violating the pro-
visions of this section shall, upon conviction
thereof. be punished by fine not exceed
ing $25 for each and every such offense''
This proposed amendment has the APP
proval of the corporation counsel.

INVOLVES A MYSTERY.
Carl Olsen's Death Believed to Have
Resulted From Poison.

Coroner hewitt and Detectives Helan and
McNamee are Investigating the death OF
Carl Olsen. who was a butler employed at
the house of ex-senator John B. Hender-
son. at Florida avenue and 18th street
northwest His death occurred at Gar
field Hospital last night about II o'clock,
after an Illness of several days. Symptoms
of poisoning were manifested during the
mans illness. and it was because OF state
ments made to the authorities that the case
is under investigation.
Olsen, who was a Swede, came to this
country little more than a year ago, an
in October he found employment In the
Florida avenue residence. Ten days age
he became i'll and friend named Morris
had him cared for at Garfield Hospital.
The case was a serious one. and Olsen's
condition 1t is stated, indicated that he
was suffering from poison Of some kind.
The authorities were informed by the
hospital officials about 1890 o'clock last
night that Olsen was i'll and could live but
a short time. The surgeons at the hospital
were willing to perform an autopsy as they
were greatly interested in the case. Coroner
hewitt. however, declined to allow the ex-
animation to be made there because of the
fact that the police are to make an fnvesti-
CATION and that an arrest might be made
in the case. Later the coroner was nOti-
fled of the death of Olsen and his body
was removed to the morgue this forenoon
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook was informed
OF the case and he began the autopsy this
afternoon at 2:3O o'clock.

SENATOR CLARK SUED
WOMAN ASKS $4,000 FoF
BREACH OF PROMISE.
Case Decided Against Her, but She
Now Seeks to Renew the
Suit

special dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press from New York yesterday says: That
Senator William A. Clark Of Montana, the
Copper King and mutl-millionaire, should
have been sued by New York woman in
the supreme court Of this county for $780,
600 damages for breach of promise, and
that the trial should have been held more
than year ago and conducted with so
much secrecy that not a word of it ever
| reached the ears Of the public, may seem
strange, but Is nevertheless a fact.
The story was divulged today when the
first step was taken by the womans lawyer
to have her case reopened and tried pub
licly. Her name is Mary McNellis and she
admits that she sis past thirty-six.''
Miss McNellis gave her testimony in her
suit before James L. Bishop, referee. ap-
pointed by the supreme court on March l,
last year. She told of her meeting the sena-
tor at the democratic national convention
in Chicago, in 1890, of attentions she alleges
| he subsequently lavished upon her, of bou-
quets and baskets Of fruit and tender mis-
sives he sent her.
Senator Clark. who admitted having
known Miss McNellis for long time, de-
MED that he had ever promised to marry
her. The senator is sixty years old, a
widower and has five children
1t Is now alleged in behalf of Miss Nc
Nellis that she was induced to forego a
jury trial of her suit on the ground that
publicity would hurt her, and that 1t would
be better to try it before a referee and It
was accordingly tried before Mr.. Bishop.
During the course of the trial Miss NC
Nellis says she received money from her
attorney. which she now asserts she be-
lieves was really given to her by the de-
PENDANT to keep her quiet.
Finally decision was rendered against
her, but she says she was never So in
formed until the time to appeal had
elapsed. Subsequently she was Informed
an agreement had been reached with Sena
tor Clark not to appeal the case, and that
In accordance with that agreement all the
letters and papers in the case had been
handed to him. She was also told that
Senator Clark would make some settlement
with her. 80
Miss McNelhs asserts that although nrom-
Used money from time to time she never
received any. While Miss McNellis' time in
which to appeal has expired, she wants to
make a motion for a new trial on the
ground of newly discovered evidence. To-
day an application was made to Justice
Davis in the supreme court to comneI the
former attorney Of Miss McNellfs to deliver
to her all the papers and testimony in order
that she may move for new trial.
The attorney made no appearance and
Justice Davis granted the motion by d.
fau1t
