Police Court.

The duties of Mayor Simpson as pre-
siding Justice of the Police Court vir-
tually ceased on Thursday, as there have
been no cases on the docket since that
day. On Monday morning Mr.. H. b.
Cation, recently appointed Police Justice
by Judge Barley of the Corporation
Court, will take his seat on the wool
sack in the Police Court room at 8
O'Clock, and in future all infractions OF
city or State laws will be daily disposed
of by him. Mayor Simpson has pre-
sided in the Police Court since July /,
1897. or for more than six and a hall
wears. and during that period all sorts
of cases have been brought before that
tribunal. Their disposition may not
have been in accord with the ideas of all,
but in the main there is every reason to
believe judgment was governed by evil
dence and common sense when all the
circumstances in connection with the
cases are considered. Mayor Simpson,
like all others who have occupied his
position, has experienced the discomti-
ture incident to being called upon to
rule on the issues, petty and otherwise,
that find their way into the Police
Court, ond he will doubtless breath
easier when he realizes that underline
new regime this burden has been removed

Don't Worry.

WASHINGTON, D.

This is easier said than done, yet it
may be Of some help to consider the
matter. If the cause is something over
which you have no control it is obvious
that worrying will not help the matter
in the least. On the other hand, if with
in your control you have only to act.
When you have a cold and fear an attack
of pneumonia, buy a bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy and use it judi
ciously and all cause for worry as to the
outcome will quickly disappear. There
is no danger of pneumonia when 1t is
used. For sale by Richard Gibson.

the present social and economic sit

Nihilism has been reared UP with
greater violence than at any time n

the wave of unrest that is sweeping
over the country, and menaces the

is not any question that the attempt

a nihilistic plot.
In the official disorder and confus-

Now, even the conservative Russians
admit that their rulers and the life OF
every other high official in the coun-
try, is in constant danger, and that
the nihilist movement has been given
an impetus, as result of the igoml-

question came up on the request of a
socialist deputy that France make a
naval demonstration against Turkey in
order to stop the Armenian persecu-

Monday report from the French am
bassador at Constantinople giving the
result of the investigation of the French
consul sent into the Sassoun district.
1t showed there had been a number of
bloody combats, and villages had been
captured by the troops and destroyed.
But it was impossible to estimate even
approximately the number of villages
destroyed or the number of persons
killed.
Some accounts said twenty-five VIII
lagos and others that fifteen villages
were destroyed. There was no doubt
the uprising resulted in the killing of
many rebels and also in the death of
many peaceful peasants. But the pres
