brother physicians, Dr. Hart finally said,
Il might just as well have thrown my
money in the river, for l grew worse and
worse. My wife and j will swear that
Hyomei cured me of the worst case of ca
tarrh that ever existed. / used to cough
constantly at night and had a dropping
in the throat, which kept me awake a
great deal. raised thick phlegm and was
in a horrible condition. However, 1 am

bound to Greenway flats to raise the pile
driver of the Pennsylvania railway which
sank Wednesday night last while being

The Courts View of It.

Herbert Payne, a young colored man.
who works at the Regent Hotel, was five
minutes late when he started for work this
morning and made an effort to gain the
time by making a short cut across Seaton
Park. He was arrested by Park Watch
man Davis and accused of trespass and
profanity.
When the young man appeared in the
Police Court it took him more than tva
minutes to tell the court less than one
half the story of his arrest because of an
impeachment in his speech. Judge Mills
thought he could not have done much
swearing if he talked no faster in the PARK
than he did in court. and released him on
his personal bonds. The charge of tres
pass was dismissed.

RAG DOLL IN THE RIVER.
Caused Much Excitement for Harbor-
master and the Coroner.

A rag doll floating in the river OF the
foot of 23d street today gave the officers OF
the harbor police force a long run and
caused Commodore Sutton, the harbormas-
ter, to lose his temper. About 10 o'clock
this morning phone message was receiv-
ed at the harbor Office from Mr.. Samuel
Einstein, the District pOundmaster, stating
that the body of a baby was drifting
around in the river off 23d street. AS the
police boat Vigilant was not available. the
harbormaster sent the wagon and boat
used for such work under charge of Officer
John Perry to recover the body.
Arriving at the spot little form could
be seen drifting about a short distance on
shore. The boat was launched and the
body picked up, but instead of being nesh
and blood it was stuffed with sawdust. The
officers placed the baby in the box and
brought it to the morgue, where 1t was
turned over to the morguemaster. Commo-
dore Sutton called upon DIR. GlazebrOok 10
perform an autopsy, but the coroner declar.
ed it unnecessary and gave certificate OF
death from natural causes.

dence.'' This was the remark of a sports
man to a Star reporter yesterday. Investi-

on the river between this city and Alexan-
dria in the past week or ten days, although
before that time they were quite numerous
A veteran hunter states that the northerly
winds of yesterday and the cooler weather
of today should bring the birds, and they
are expected to appear in large numbers
within the next day or two. The fats are
covered with good crops of wild oats and
seed grasses, and the conditions appear to
be good for excellent hunting shortly.
