Mrs. DanfOrth, of St. Joseph,
Mich, tells how she was cured
of falling Of the womb and its
accompanying pains and misery
byLydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM: - Life looks
dark indeed when a woman feels that
her strength is fading away and she has
no hopes of ever being restored. Such
was my feeling few months ago when
1 was advised that my poor health was
caused by prolapsus or falling of the
womb. The words sounded like a
knell TO me, felt that my sun had set
but Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound came to me as an
elixir of life it restored the lost forces
and built me up until my good health
returned to me. For four months /
took the medicine daily, and each dose
added health and strength. 1 am so
thankful for thehelp obtainedt through
its use" y MRS. FLORENCE DANFoRTu,

Decided Against Canteen.

The Working Boys Literary and De-
batting Club held its weekly meeting
Tuesday evening. After roll call the club
was entertained by several members. who
gave recitations. Upon conclusion of the
reading of the minutes the young men
debated the question, which affirmed that
the canteen should be restored to the
army. The affirmative side, led by Capt
Dallas Bolick. commended that the law
abolishing the canteen has been failure
and that discipline in the army was bet
ter with the canteen than 1t had been
without 1t. The negative side, under the
leadership Of Capt. Stephen Latchford,
asserted that Congress did not do away
with the canteen without thorough in
vestigation into the workings of the sys-
tenn. and that to re-establsh such a sys-
tenn In the army would be an admission
on the part of the government that it
was unable to maintain proper discipline
among it's soldiers.
After an animated discussion as to the
merits and dement's of the army canteen
the judges, Mrs. Miers, Hampton Jewell
and Albert Alsworth, decided that the
negative side had proved its case.

Rifles to Cadets.

It was made known at the meeting of the
board of education last evening that in
loaning rifles to the High School Cadets the
War Department stipulated that they

the effect that no appropriation for the Dis
trict could be used to pay fire insurance.
J. E. Fitch and Gen. H. ". Boynton OF the
school board paid the fire insurance from
their own pockets in order that the cadets
might not be deprived Of their arms
Among the other business matters decid-
ed by the board was the promotion of E.

pointment of Mr.. Daniels as a teacher, at

AMUsEMENTa
"L,ohengrin."

Another large and enthusiastic audience
at the Columbia Theater last evening tes-
titled in a most decided manner that the
Washington theater-going public will lib
orally .patronize grand opera at modest
prices by flrst-class American artists
Wagner's "Lohengrin" was the bill and the
honors of the evening were equally shared
by Miss Rennyson, Mr.. Wegener and Miss
Newman. The theater was crowded from
pit to gallery, the space in the rear of the
orchestra seats being filled with eager
listeners fortunate and satisfied to secure
standing room only. The work of the prin-
cipals, chorus and orchestra admirably met
all the exactfons of well-rounded per-
Torrance.
The cast included Miss Gertrude Kenny
son as Elsa, Mr. Wegener as Lohengrin,
Miss Newman as Ortrud. Mr.. Marsano as
Telramund. Mr.. Boyle as Henry I, and Mr.
Lawrence as herald. Miss Rennyson as
Elsa thoroughly established herself as q
great artistic. At no time did she not give
to the role that exquisite tenderness and
expression SO essentially the true concep-
ton of the great composer She was par
tlcuiarly expressive in her scene with
Ortrud in the second act where she listens
to the artful sybil, and also in the great
scene with Lohengrin in the bridal chamber
in the third act.
Mr.. Wegener was a decidedly musical
Lohensrln, his voice being of beautiful
quailty. HIS pianissimo was exquisite, es-
pecialy In the well-known swan song. He
has superb physique and a musical tenor
OF marked fiexibility and pathos He has
great reserve power, his high tones being
a revelation for sustained sweetness. It
Is IS IN the final scene on the banks of the
Scheldt, when he reveals the secret that
enshrouds his life, that he rises to a re-
markabie height of poetic tenderness and
power.
Miss Newman, in the role of Ortrud.
clearly substantiated her claims as an ar
fist of marked ability. She sang with ease
and effective power
The remaining principals acquitted them
selves well. The opera was conducted by
Mr.. Schenck in a satisfactory manner, and
the chorus showed good training and voice
The scenic effects were generally in keep

with Mr.. Sheehan, Mr.. Golf and Misses

THE RIGHTS DF MINORS
OPINION RENDERED REGARDING
REDEMPTION or PROPERTY.
Corporation Counsel Explains What is
Necessary in Gases Of Sales
for Takes.

corporation Counsel Duvall, in an opinion
submitted to the Commissioners relative
to the right of minors, to redeem property
sold for taxes, holds that in the case of a
sale to third party the minor or other
person under disability must redeem the
property sold from the purchaser or pur-
chasers, his. her or their heirs" and in case
OF property bid of by the collector of
taxes. the redemption must be from the
District of Columbia" This opinion is SINH
lar to that expressed by E. G. Davis, COL
lector of taxes, relative to the same ques-
ton.
The opinion was requested of the corpora
ton counsel upon the application made by
Attorney G. c. Gertman, on behalf Of his
eighteen-year-old Client Franklin A. Klien-
of property sold for taxes by payment TO
the collector of taxes of the amount Of the
tax plus per cent interest.
1t seems from the opinions in the case
that one or the questions involved in the
settlement Of this case was whether or not
parents may deed their property sold for
taxes to minor children, and thus escape the
penalties attached to failure to pay the
taxes within the time prescribed by law.
Collector Davis Opinion.
Collector Davis, in his report on the
Kliendienst case, states that December ~.
1894. part Of lot 16. square Al. the prop
erty in question, was transferred from
Joseph B. Kliendienst to his son, Franklin
A. Kliendienst.
why this transfer was made am not
advised" says the collector Of taxes, but
the question suggests itself whether the
provision of law allowing minors to redeem
from tax sale one year after coming Of age
applies to property decided to minors by
parents or others If this content.o on be
allowed, l see no reason why the greater
portion Of the real estate of the District
may not be decided to minors. and so con-
tinue indefinitely. thus depriv.ng the D s.
trict of a large portion of it's revenues
But aside from this, as read the law. Mr.
Gertman's client must redeem from the
purchaser who holds deed for this prop
erty.''
Mr.. Davis says in his opinion the law in
the case does not warrant the construction
placed upon it by the attorney for KLEIN
dienst, and should such a construction be
allowed. 1t would place the District In the
position of having to determine questions
which must eventually go to the courts, to
say nothing Of the liability assumed.
In view of the importance of the ques-
ton, and it's far-reaching consequences, Mr.
Davis suggested that 1t be referred to the
corporation counsel, who has now sustain
ed Mr.. Davis ruling.
Commissioner West has approved the
opinion of the corporation counsel.
