Why do work and worry and excess and
strain ami over-indulgence break down con-
stitutions and make men ana women worn
and down and restless and sleepless
ana discouraged and morose? Because they
weaken the tiny, tender nerves on which life
Itself depends
Not the nerves you ordinarily think about
not the nerves that govern your movements
But the automatic nerves that, unguided
and unknown, night and day, keep your
heart In motion-control the digestive appar-
atus-regulate your liver-operate your kid
neys.
These are the nerves that worry wears out
and work breaks down.
1t does no good to treat the ailing organ
the irregular heart-the disordered IIver-the
They are not TO blame. But go back 10
the nerves that control them. There you
Will find the seat OF the trouble.
1t does no good to take stimulants and mar
cotics for theirs, at best, is but a temper
airy effect which merely postpones the final
day of reckoning.
There is nothing new about this-nothing
any physician would dispute. But it re,
mained for DR.. Shoop to apply this knowl-
edge-to put 1t TO practical use. DR.. Shoop' 8

CONCERT DRAWS
IMMENSE. CROWD
Last of Festivities Attend
ant ON Inauguration.
MARINE BAND AND CHORUS
Crush So Great That Many Who Pur-
chased Tickets Gould Not Get
Into Building.

The concluding feature of the cere-
monies attending the inauguration of
President Roosevelt took place last
night when a brilliant concert was
given in the Pension building by the
United States Marine Band under the
leadership of lieutenant Santelmann
and a chorus OF 800 voices.
The greatest crush which has ever
attended an event of this kind was
noted last night. 1t was estimated
that more than Il, 900 persons were in
side the building. with thousands on
the outside striving to gain entrance.
Many who had purchased tickets were
unable to get anywhere near the build
ing and it was necessary for a force of
police to attend inside and outside to
preserve order. Women tainted and
were carried with difficulty to a place
OF safety and many who had gone to
hear the concert left as early as they
could in order to get away from the
crush.
A Crush on G Street.
Many persons Were sent from the F to
the 6 street entrance of the building
to relieve the crush al the south front.
There was a rush for the G street side
and there conditions were no better.
Through the covered passage erected
for the accommodation of ball guests
the crowd sufged and jammed. When
theapassage could hold no more, man
near the door shouted that the build
ing was crowded TO its capacity, and
advised the crowd to fall back and not
try to gain entrance. Then the crowd
surged back and met the counter cur
rent pressing forward. After half an
hour of pulling, pushing. and struggling
the pdSSageWay was clear.
An Excellent Program.
A splendid program had been ar
ranged for the concluding concert and
its reading was received with enthu-
siasm by the vast assemblage. An ode
] TO the President, Zone Flag and One
Country" received marked favor. The
composition was the work of Prof. Fan
citsiTf.1 former leader of the Marine
Band. but now affiliated with the rnusi-
zscai life-of New York. Prof. FanciuIli
was present last night 10 hear his
composition and was heartily greeted
Another conspicuous number was
Horatio Parkers setting TO Oliver
Wendell Holmes poem Union and
Liberty. The composer, musical direc-
tor at Yale University. conducted the
number. which was given with much
spirit.
National hymns were interspersed in
the program which began with the
singing of America and concluded
with The Star-Spangled Banner.
Chorus Sings Well.
The chorus. which has been rehears-
ing for several weeks, sang well and
the volume of their combined voices
completely filed the big auditorium.
Two concerts were given during the
day, one at 1890 O'Clock in the morning
and another in the afternoon. At both
Of these there was an unusually large
attendance, although the night concert
held the record.

DRAKE ANSWERS
BENEFIT SOCIETY
Calls Charges "MaliciOus
and VindictiYe."

Anything SO personally malicious and
vindictive as these charges could hard
" be expected says Thomas E Drake,
superintendent OF insurance, in the
course of his formal reply TO the Dis
trict Commissioners to the charges pre-
ferred against him by the Royal Benefit
Society. Mr. Drake, after replying in
detail to the charges, says:
The charge that, in my official capac-
ity, have ever done an act, said or
written a word from any malicious or
hostile purpose or feeling toward any
Insurance company. order or associa-
tion or that 1 have had any feeling is
a charge which, but for this presence,
/ would characterize by word less
sparaphrastic than the language which
propriety requires me to use here
Refusal of the superintendent to issue
10 the Royal Benefit Society a license to
do business as fraternal beneficial or
ganizatiol in the District is given as the
origin of the real or supposed grievance
9f the benefit society.

Coal Stealing at Tip TOP.

On Tuesday, Detective Copenhaver,
scooped lot Of fellows at Tip Tor. who
have been taking coal from the MOI
folk q Western, and brought the
bunch, consisting OF four colored and
two white men-some of them BOYS.
They had a hearing before hizzoner,
FL. G. Peery, Esq, and all released up
on the payment Of fac, except Henry
Young, a white man, who was given
fiye days in jail in addition TO fine.
All Of the offenders confessed. but
Young seemed to be an old offender,
and was taxed So and COSTS and order
ed to take his meals in the Jail for five

to kill any more men in order to STOP
the Infamous stealing all along the
line.

JAPS MARCH
INTO THE CITY
Troops Made Procession Five
Miles Long That Was
Reviewed by Nogl.

TIen Tsin, Jan. l6.-The victorious
Japanese army yesterday formally en-
tered Port Arthur. General Nogi,
with his staf, entered first and took
his stand In the public square OF the
new tom. The army was represented
10y one regiment from each bridge.
The procession, which was five miles
long, was three hours passing the salut-
ing base, after which the troops passed
out of the city through the new town.
The correspondents then visited the
captured city for the first time. The
old town buildings were badly smash
Ell by shells, but in the new town the
damages was slight.
All the shipping in the harbor was
badly damaged by shell fire, the war
ships being practically useless owing to
the injuries they had suffered from
shells. Proposals for the surrender of
Port Arthur were first made Dec. 20.
at council Of war.
General Stoessel was in favor Of sur
render, but some of his general officers
were bitterly opposed to It. The regi-
mental officers and the troops were not
consulted.
The infantry loudly protested that
the fortress had been given away. They
threw their rifles and ammunition into
the harbor and proceeded 10 break in
TO warehouses and loot and drink
vodka until In a helpless condition.
COULD HAVE HELD OUT LoNGHR.
1t was evident that the surrender
was not necessary, as there were 81 =
900 effective men in the +, rtress. The
supply ot ammunition WAS short. but Il
was not exhausted. Food was scarce.
but private stores We're not requisItion-
ed 10y the military. There Is no dinl-
Guilty in getting good meals In the city
even now from the stores In private
possession.
General Stoessel was much blamed
for what was characterized as "A dis.
