LOOK OUT
For CoIds-la Grippe!

Protect yourself, and don't trust 10
Providence. Considering the harm
done, neglect before and after taking
cold is a physical crime. You may
prevent a cold, or, if too late, you can
insure yourself against the latter ef-
ects," for there is the greatest danger,
by using DR.. Harter's Iron Tonic. Few
die from Colds, or La Grippe, or Ca
tarrh. They die of the after effects.
These diseases all weaken, and to a
weakened body come fiocking host of
diseases that fasteu on weak lungs,
heart, stomach, kidneys, and other
weak parts that we seldom think of.
The easiest and best thing to do is to
fortify the system so that you will not
catch cold, but if too late to do that,
then you must see that no lasting in
jury is done. Medical authorities all
agree that iron is the fighting element of
the blood enabling the system not only
to ward of disease, but to fight it after

ONE MILLION CAPITAL
IMPORTANT CHANGE IN RIGGS
NATIONAL BANK.
The National City Bank Of New York
City Will Own One-Quarter
Of the Stock.

Arrangements have Just been completed
by which the capital stock of the Riggs
National Bank will be increased from its
present figure Of $4,000 to $1.0O0.CO One
OF the significant features of this change in
the capitalization of bank which already
has the largest capital in the city. as well
IS the largest amount Of money on deposit.
Is that one-half of the proposed new issue
Of stock is to be taken by the National City
Bank of New York city.
In other words. the New York bank will
own $500 shares. which Is one-fourth of
the entire capital stock. At the same time
the surplus is to be increased to 81 900 600,
so that the capital and the surplus Of Riggs
National Bank will be equal In amount.
The concern which will thus become identf-
fled with the Riggs Bank Is one of the
largest and most important national banks
in New York city.
1t has capital of $25, 900 900. deposits of
100000 600 and surplus of $20O0O,0O0. Mr.:
James Stilman Is the president.
1t is stated that this change will have no
further significance than to add to the
financial resources of an already strong in
stitution. Mr.. Charles c. Glover will con-
ti1ue president, and in other particulars
the conduct of the bank will continue as
heretofore, but, as stated above, not only
the capital. but the resources will be large
ly augmented

MANY FARMERS OBJECT.
Petition Submitted Against Senate
Resolution No 1876.

A petition signed by PA farmers who are
engaged in the business of raising and sell
ing garden produce from their wagons in
this city has been submitted to Chairman
Babcock Of the House committee on the
District of Columbia protesting against the
passage of Senate resolution 156. which
places under the control of the Commits
sioners 80 much of the sidewalk on the
south side Of B street between 1th and 18th
streets and on 10th, 10Th and Little b
streets adjacent to the wholesale market
square. and of the space on said square and
not exceeding fifteen feet Of the carriage
way contiguous to the curb at said localt-
ties, as they may deem advisable, as stands
for the accommodation Of farmers. garden
ers or truckmen selling produce of their
own raising. and within said limits change
and rearrange such stands from time to
time as in their judgment the public inter
est shall require"
The petition represents that the territory
described Is occupied by farmers; that they
are well satisfied with the present condi-
lions; that the streets are kept in clean and
sanitary condition. and that they do not
desire the proposed legislation. The present
arrangement, it Is stated. has been In eff
feet for many years and has never been SO
satisfactory to all concerned as at the pres
ent time.

until they are twentyone years Of age, I'M
less sooner released.
The defendants were Charles Tibbs,

SESSIONS RESUMED
COAL STRIKE COMMISSION CON-
SIDERs TESTIMONY.
Utmost Secrecy to Be Preserved Re
garding Deliberations - Nothing
Given Out in Advance.

The anthracite coal strike commission re-
sumed its meetings at the interstate CONF
merce commission hearing room today.
There were two sessions, a recess being
taken from 1890 until o'clock. All Of the
members were present, and Judge Gray, the
chairman, presided. There was a general
discussion Of the work before the body and
Of the procedure, or general methods. to
be followed in the consideration Of this
work preliminary to the actual framing
Of the award.
It is anticipated that certain contingencies
might necessftate another trip to the mine
regions or elsewhere, with a view to clear
ing things but there is nothing Oh this sort
contemplated just now. The commissioners
are anxious to complete the task set be-
fore them in as expeditions manner as
possible. but they realize that various ques-
tons may arise during their deliberations to
interfere with this plan.
While the commission will be in session
in this city for a considerable period, in all
likelihood. all it's meetings will be secret,
and the utmost precautions have been taken
to guard its proceedings from reaching the
public. An ironclad agreement has been
adopted that nothing shall be given out ex-
cept by designated member OF the COM
mission, and then only after formal author
ity, given by the commission as a body.
The commissioners take this position, as
expressed by one Of their members today,
that they are to report to the President,
and that the public has no right to know
what the commission is doing or is going
to do.
Consequently. except in the event of a
decision to make a trip to some other city
or some such similar action where the ra-
ture of what Is being said or done by the
commission is not involved. no news is to
emanate from the commission, and its re-
port will be made public by the President
in his own discretion.
A question as to procedure in giving out
even such news as that mentioned was dis
cussed at this afternoons session.

An Want to Push the Bin.

Dh- you ever notice how many persons
viii push the button on an elevator bei1?'
asked a member of Congress of Star man
at the Capitol this morning ''If you will
take notice, you will see that no matter
how many people are standing at the eIeva-
tor entrance. or whether the Indicator
shows that the elevator is going up or COM
ing down. each succeeding man. woman or
child will walk up to the entrance and give
the little electric button push. despite the
fact that the person would know II he or she
would but stop and think that certainly one
of those persons who arrived at the en-
trance had already pressed the button; but
they are never satisfied: each must push
the button for himself. even though it Is
seen that the elevator Is actually coming
in the direction wanted"

ADMIRAL BARKER TAKES ACTION
Board Of Officers Appointed to Investi-
gate Fort LAFAYETTE Accident.

Two kilograms arrived at the Navy De-
partment overnight from Rear Admiral
Barker, in charge of the navy yard. Brook
lyn briefly announcing the explosion at
Fort Lafayette yesterday. In which Ave
civilian employees were killed and several
others wounded seriously. The accident
was caused by the explosion OF an eight
inch shell while the fuse was being ex-
tracted. Admiral Barker has appointed a
board of officers to investigate the cause Of
the accident and if possible place its re-
sponsbility.
His last telegram. dated today. records
the death. last night, of w. H. Van Gurp,
ordnance man, making total OF 1--WE
deaths.
Fort Lafayette is an antique little citadel
Of brick. which in war time was used as a
military prison. 1t was assigned to the
Navy Department several years ago by the
Secretary Of War, to be used as a maya
zine.
Thirty-five civilians are employed there,
but each Is q discharged seaman OF the
navy.
Fort Lafayette is one Of the famous
landmarks of New York harbor. It was
built during the war of 1872, on ledge OF
rock that extended out into the Narrows
off the Long Island shore at a point just
below where Fort Hamilton Is situated.
An artificial island was formed by cut
ting off this ledge about POO yards from
the shore, the fort being built on the Is
land. The ledge was then known as Dia-
mond Ledge and the fort was named Fort
Diamond, but when Lafayette visited TINS
country it was renamed Fort Lafayette in
his honor.

Lacked Proper Punctuation.

1t has recently been discovered that
what was supposed to have been a law on
the statute books Of the city Of Richmond
has been all along invalid for the lack of
proper punctuation" said c. T. Huntress
OF the Virginia city to Star man at the
Metropolitan this morning. 'Tt is in the
law prohibiting expectoration in street cars
and on sidewalks that the mistake occurs.
AS the matter stands in the statutes now
1t provides fo- penalty for expectorating,
throwing fruit skins or Feelings on the side
walks or floors of street cars, public eleva-
tors or public halls. Leaving the comma
from between sidewalks and or utterly
invalldates the very provision that the law.
makers were anxious to make, that is thu
expectoratton on streets. You will see by
the punctuation that the law as it now
stands refers to sidewalks or floors of
street cars. and the only sidewalks referred
to are those In or on street cars"
