Major Genav Wade D. $, A., commanding the department of the Atlantic. commands the defense. He arrived at Fort Monroe today from Governors Island N. Y. Weeks have been spent on the special arrangements and the preparation of the defense ia complete. In working out the exer~ cises the conditions of actual warfare are not to be followed. Three prlnci~ pal exercises constitute the work at each defense. There are artillery prac- tice in day light. the ships constituting the targets of the forts; practice with the searchlights at night and the opera tion of the mine fields in which the navy will endeavor to locate and de- stroy the mines. When the artillery practice is done the mines are disre- garded.

These results will not be made public. They will be used as a basis for making the defenses more potent Il found necessary.

funds Money L Il Falls To

A long stride toward solving the
mystery of curing catarrh was taken
with the discovery of Hyomei. In fact
the percentage OF cures by this treat
ment proves it equal TO the final tests.
The folly of taking medicine into the
stomach to cure catarrh of the nose,
throat and lungs, has been realized by
physicians, but not until Hyomei was
known, had they a practical method
hat would obviate stomach drugging.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but

er that can be used anywhere without
attracting attention, medicine drop
per and bottle OF Hyomei. Extra
bottles of Hyomei cost but so cents.
Bre athing Hyomei through the inhal-
er, every particle OF air that enters the
nose, throat and lungs, is charged with
a healing balsam that soothes and al
lays all irritation, kills the catarrhal
germs and enriches the blood with adj
ditional ozone.
Druggist Gokay has so much faith
in the power of Hyomei to cure catarrh
that he is selling it under his personal
guarantee to refund the money If il
does not give positive relief.

TRYING TO SAVE McUE.
Counsel For Condemned Man Asks
For Writ of Error.

Counsel For Condemned Man Asks
For Writ of Error.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 10. = Justice
Harlan of the United States supreme
court last night denied an application
for Il writ OF error in the case of j.
Samuel McCue. the former mayor of
Charlottesville, Va, who is under SEN
tence OF death and is to be hanged to-
day for the murder of his wife JUS
tice Harlan based his denial on the
ground that no federal question was
presented in the application for the
writ. His formal Endorsement on the
application was as follows:
''The record presented to me discloses
no ground whatever for review OF the
judgment OF the supreme court of Vir-
ginia by the supreme court of the
United States. The application for a
writ of error Is therefore denied"
Counsel for McCue, Marvin Smithey
Of Richmond. was at the supreme court
in his efforts TO secure the writ, but as
the court was not In session he was
compelled to make application to an
individual justice Of the court. He
then sought Chief Justice Fuller and
went to the latter's house. where he
was informed that the chief justice
was i'll. Mr.. Fuller referred Mr.
Smithey to Justice Harlan. The ground
of the application for the writ present
ed by McCue's counsel was that McCut
did not have a fair trial as guaranteed
by the constitution.
