about his clothing and his exercise. No

there are men who were once i'll danger

strong again, married and brought up
healthy families.
HOW IT HAPPENED
There is no chance about such cures
If ONLY few persons had been benefited,
it might be said that they had exagger-
ated their danger or had only been sui
fering from some common ailnent. But
when the cured are numbered by thou
sands; when the doctors diagnosis was
consumption when every symptom bore
out that diagnosis - weakness, einacia-
ton, bleeding of the lungs-and these
sufferers were perfectly and permanently
cured bv the use Of Dr. Perces Golden
Medical Discovery, it must be concluded
that these cures are not of chance, but
due to the healing power OF a great
remedy, for coughs, weak lungs, bron-
chits, and like diseases which if neg
lected or unskillfully treated, find fatal
termination in consumption.

ELLIS NOT BLAMED.
Told What He Knew About the Disap-
& pearance of F. Kent LOOMS.

w. H. Ellis, who left the United States
last summer in company with F. Kent
Loomis, the brother Of the assistant sec
rotary Of state, on a trip to Abyssinia,
where Mr. Loomis was carrying a COM
mercial treaty between that country and
the United States to be signed, and who
after the mysterious death a sea of Mr..
Loomis was designated by the department
to- take the treaty to King Menelik, spent
some time at the State Department yester-
day in conference with Mr.. Loomis. assist
ant secretary of state
The assistant secretary questioned Mr..
Ellis very closely regarding all the cir
cumstances leading up to his brothers
death. Mr.. Ellis replies were entirely sat
isfactory to Mr.. Loomis. The assistant
secretary Of state later issued a statement
officially expressing his satisfaction with
Mr.. Ellis explanation. This statement
was as follows:
Mr.. Ellis reported to the Department Of
State today and deposited the receipt which
he received from King Menelik upon the
delivery to him Of the signed copy of the
commercial treaty with Abyssinia. He
freely and cheerfully answered the search
ing questions put to him by the officials
who made careful inquiry into all the cir
cumstances connected with his trip to
Abyssinia. 1t was stated at the depart
ment that Mr. Ellis explanations were of
a satisfactory nature, and that no blame
is attached to him in connection with the
tragic episode which occurred on hts. trip

HEARING POSTPONED.
Stutler Inquiry to Be Resumed Friday
Morning.

Owing to the temporary indispositiop of
ROYAL Robinson. the inquiry into the
charges Of blackmail against Superinten-
dent Stutler of the street cleaning depart
ment was not resumed at $50 o'clock this
morning, but the hearing was postponed
until $50 O'Clock Friday morning, when IL
Is expected that Mr.. Robinson will have
recovered sufficiently to be present at the
trial.
Apparently the alarm clocks in the house
holds of the three Commissioners perform
ed adequate service this morning, for all
three OF the District Commissioner appear
ed at the District building at or before q
O'Clock, so as to be in time for the session
of the inquiry which had been set for the
comparatively early hour of $50 o'clock
When Commissioner West arrived, however
he found a message on his desk from Mr.
Robinson stating that owing to a temporary
indisposition he would be unable to attend
the hearing this morning, whereupon the
Commissioners decided to postpone the trial
until Friday morning and announcement
was made accordingly.
Counsel for Mr. Stutler have been engag-
ed today in examining the books OF Lilly &
Robinson, submitted In evidence yesterday
by Mr. Robinson. There were two check
stubs, one for S130 and the other for 800
introduced In evidence, and attention was
called to an entry on Lilly & Robinson's
journal of $500. another for $500 and still
another for $3.50 The 500 entry was the
only one that contained any explanatory
note that on its face could be connected
with the case under consideration.
1t has been intimated that counsel for Mr.
Stutler may attack the genuineness of this
explanatory note, because 1t is stated It an
pears to be in lighter shade of Ink than the
rest of the entry, but 1t could not be ascer-
tanned today whether or not this will be
done.
At the hearing Friday morning Mr. s. b.
Bayley, manager for Contractor Rusk. will
be examined with reference to Robinson's
statement that Bayley had admitted to him
that Mr.. Stutler had given Rusk informa-
ton relative to the proposed bid OF Lilly &
Robinson for street cleaning prior to the
awarding of the contract several years ago
Mr.. Robinson will also likely be examined
further with reference to the entries on his
books. and it is believed that the inquiry
will be finished before noon Friday

Acute Indigestion.
ON the New York Heral'

From the New York Herald.
Lately 1t has become so much the Gus
tom to ascribe sudden death to what is
now termed acute Indigestion that the
ailment is becoming almost as common as
heart failure" and equally as meaning
less as regards the actual causative ele-
ment at work. The fact is that the pres
emit term which means nothing more than
seizure of acute dyspepsia from an
overloaded stomach, should not in any
sense be applied to an affection that is
likely to be fatal in itself. On the con-
trary the patients are Ill but short
promptly and often without the aid of
medicine. In pronounced cases the stom-
ach may become fnfiamed and be the seat
Of severe colicky spasms, but neither
symptom lasts long, and the organ quickly
RECEIVERS it's tone. When such phenomena
are followed by death there is always
some other ailment present-acute or
chronic-that explains the result. For in
stance patients recovering from typhoid
fever, heart or kidney disease have been
thus stricken, the indigestion under such
circumstances acting merely in con-
tributory way toward rapid dissolution
by means of shock. This was evidently
the case with the lamented General di
Cesnola, whose death was chronicled yes
terday. For long time he had been suf-
fering from kidney disease. which had so
undermined his vitality that 1t required a
very little additional indisposition to
cause death. Speaking of the rarity of
fatal attacks of acute indigestion" Prof
Brouardel of Paris, one of the highest
authorities on the subject, says in his re-
not met with a single case (acute indi-
gestfon) in which pre-existing LESSONS in
other organs than the stomach were not
sufficient to account for death"

THE MERCHANT MARINE.
officials Who Will Be Asked to Give
Their Views

The merchant marine commission, which
met at the capital yesterday, Senators Gal
linger and Lodge and Representatives
Minor. McDermott and Spight being pres
ent, decided to hold a meeting Friday. when
the Secretary of the Navy, the Postmaster
General and the Secretary Of Commerce
and Labor, with officers of the department
having jurisdiction of marine matters. will
appear and give their views. Rear Admiral
P. F. Harrington Rear Admiral Stephen b.
Luce and Capt. Alfred T. Mahan will also
be invited to give their views.
Under the law the commission is directed
to make its report on the day Congress re-
assemblies, December s. The commission
expects to make its report on that date
with recommendations and a bill. While 1t
it not certain that the report will be unani-
NOUS members of the commission express
the hope that such an agreement will be
reached. 1t is stated that no attempt will
be made to revise the Frye-Payne bill pro-
viding for a system of subsidies.
According to the New York Tribune an
increased tonnage tax and increased light
house dues. to be imposed on all vessels
American and foreign, entering ports of the
United States, will be the chief recon-
mendations of the commission. A further
provision of the measure, the passage of
which the commission will recommend, will
arrange for the segregation of the increased
revenue from these sources and its use for
the promotion of the American merchant
marine.
Contrary to a somewhat general expecta-
ton, the commission will not recommend
the direct subsidizing of American vessels.
Neither Is 1t likely to suggest the adj
Visibility Of enacting a differential tariff
law with benefits to imports in American
bottoms. although some of the members are
heartily In favor of such legislation. Neither
is the suggestion of free ships seriously
considered.
The commission has had under considera-
ton six propositions as follows: % A d.
rect subsidy to American vessels; (2) addi-
tional postal subvention, the government
now paying a liberal sum to vessels car
rying United States mails; 90 an increase
of the tonnage tax on vessels; "a increased
lighthouse dues: 90 the admission Of for
eign-built ships to American register free
of duty; 90 differential duties on indirect
trade, that Is, on the goods of one nation
shipped in the vessels of another.
The proposition for free ships came, Of
course, from the democratic members of the
commission and has been rejected as not in
accord with republican policies.
Present indications are that the increased
tonnage tax and lighthouse dues will form
the important recommendation of the COM
mission.
Next Fridays hearing will be the last,
and the commission will then devote itself
to the completion of its report and the
preparation of bill embodying its recon-
mendations.

den Zinkhan of the Washington Asylur1
and Secretary George s. Wilson of the
board of charities made trip to the Dis
tr1cts tract of land at Giesboro' Point, and
selected the exact site for the almshouse
to be erected there. The officials selected
a level site about 400 feet square. that be-
ing the amount of space that will be requir-
ed for the new almshouse.
1t Is stated that the board OF charities will
probably recommend to Congress at some
future time that the name of the almshouse
be changed to the Home for the Aged and
