THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
olslnfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans

Charcoal is a remedy that the more

drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.

A burglar was surprised by Mrs.
Greyson, night nurse at the St.
Thomas Hospital, 500 Page street,
early yesterday morning. The nurse
came uponl the scene suddenly and the
intruder jumped through a nearby
window. When the nurse saw him he
was busily engaged sorting the con-
tents of the Office desk. An examinh-
ton revealed that the fellow had gone
through every drawer of the desk in
search of plunder. There were many
valuable articles and a quantity of
cash in the office, but the thief did not

PLOT NIPPED IN THE BUD
SEDlTIOUS MOVEMENT AGAINST
THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT
DISCOVERED.

Paris, April S.-The Investigations
of the secret police have not yet de-
termined whether the arms and uni
forms recently seized in the suburbs
of Paris were intended for chimer-
ical African expedition or a a@ditious
movement against the government.
Statements made by Deputy Rabier
tend to show the existence of plot.
M. Rabier recently received letters
warning him that number of deter
mined men were planning a surprise
movement. He at first dismissed the
letters, but he recently decided to
submit them to Minister of the In
terror Etienne, who turned them over
to the police One of the letters says
a prominent general was at the head
of the movement, which included a
number of deputies and one former
cabinet minister. According to this
letter the necessary arms, uniforms
and equipments were ready and re-
cruitment was going on among the
retired colonial troops 1t is said that
Premier Rouvier and other officials
received similar warnings However,
the plot, III ii actually existed, appears
to have been nipped in the bud by the
activity of the police. The affair
gives rise to much sensational conjec-
ture, including rumor printed by the
Patrie that the house of Colonel
Marchand of Fashoda fame, who is
now in Morocco, was searched by the
police, which the family and police
Indignantly deny. The newspapers
make veiled illusions to many promi-
nent generals and civilians, who, 1T is
claimed, had n hand in the affair.

INTENDS TO MAKE GOOD"
p, esident Shonts Discusses Panama
Canal Matters.

Chicago, April S.-"Direct business
methods, publicity and absolutely no
poitics-this is the policy of the
Panama commission, to which Presi-
dent Roosevelt has seen fit to appoint
me president"
This is the declaration of Theodore
p. Shonts, President Rcosevelt's
100000" man, who arrived in Chi
cago from New York during the day
on his first visit here since his ap.
pointment.
The people of the United States
are the stockholders of the Panama
canal, the most gigantic undertaking
they have ever been interested in,
said Mr.. Shonts. "and for the next
four years they have selected Presi.
dent Roosevelt to vote their stock for
them. Therefore our policy will bs to
work precisely as we have worked in
building and operating great railroad
lines. There will be monthly reports
made of progress, of the amount OF
funds expended and ena outlook for
the work, just as railroads report to
their stockholders. These reports will
be fled regularly in Washington 50
that every congressman, every official
of the government and the public will
be fully, reliably and frequently in
formed as to what is being done with
their funds in Panama.
1--WE are all pitching in with ou
coats off and there will be no time
lost either now or in the future. We
have undertaken the task for the
American people, we recognize the
great responsibility resting on us and
we are going out to make good in
way that will please not only Presl'
dent Roosevelt and justify his conf.
dence in US, but will also bring us the
approval of all the people OF the ma.
tion-the stockholders in the canal
enterprise"

FAILS TO ATTEND PARADE OF
HORSE GUARDS FOR FIRST
TiME ON RECORD.
eRAkD DUKES ALSO UNDER COVER
ACTIVITY OF TERRoRIsTs THE
CAUSE OF EXTRAORDINARY
PRECAUTIONS.

st. Petersburg, April S.-The an
nual parade of the Horse Guards, al
ways heretofore one of the most spec
tacular military ceremonies as well as
social functions of the year, was
chiefly notable by the absence of En-
peror Nicholas and the imperial fam
lily. The Horse Guards is the en-
perOr's own regiment and never be-
fore has he failed to attend it's an
nual parade. With the empress, dow
ager empress and the entire court the
emperor remained at Tsarskoe-Selo.
The only grand dukes who ventured
out of their palaces were Nicholas,
Boris and Alexander Michaelovitch,
the first named representing the en-
peror. Even Grand Duke Vladimir,
commander of the military district,
was not present, the explanation be-
ing that he was detained at the palace
on account of sickness.
The danger to the imperial family
was regarded as especially great, as
ii happened that this was the festival
of the Immaculate Conception, one of
the strictest religious holidays. All
business was suspended. The entire
population was in the streets and the
fear of an untoward incident, in view
OF the activity of the terrorists, in
duced extraordinary precautions.
Mounted gendarmes were stationed at
the bridges and in the streets lead
ing to the barracks of the regiment
on the Horse Guards boulevard to
keep back the rougher element and
ordinary spectators were not allowed
to approach within a block. The
parade, instead of occurring in the
usual open space before the barracks,
took place within the riding school,
being in every way a purely perfume
tory affair.

GOVERNMENT AID DEMANDED.
Wives and Families of Russian Sol
diers Starving.

st. Petersburg, April S,-The stories
CT suffering on the part of the widows,
wives and families of soldiers at the
front are attracting general attention
and the public demands government
aid for the sufferers. The local chari-
ties are no longer able to cope with
the situation. In many places the
funds raised for this purpose are en-
tirely exhausted and the provincial
papers are filed with pathetic ac-
counts of starving mothers and chill
dren begging in the streets. At
Nizhni Novgorod the palace of the
governor was besieged by a crowd of
hungry women, with babes in their
arms, asking for bread. The gov
ernor informed the women that he
would appoint a commission to inyes-
tigate the situation. His reply aroused
the ire of the local press. The We'd
omosti said;
Always the eternal commission.
While it is investigating the women
and children will starve.'

PRESIDENT AT SAN ANTONIO
TEXANS GIVE THE CHIEF EXEC.
UTiVE A MOST ENTHuSIAS-
TIC WELCOME.

San Antonio, Tex, April S.-Never
has such a patriotic demonstration
been witnessed here as that which
greeted President Roosevelt upon his
first visit to San Antonio since he
organized the famous Rough Riders
regiment in the spring OF 1898. All
of the principal business thorough
fares were afiutter with flags and
bunting and the presidents picture
was in evidence everywhere. The
weather was bright and pleasant
The city was early astir to prepare
its welcome to the president. He
passed a night of sound rest in his
special train, where a detail of police
was on guard duty throughout the
night. At $50 O'Clock committee OF
citizens called on the president and
escorted him to Fort Sam Houston.
Despite the early hour the entire
route was lined with people, who gave
the president an enthusiastic welcome.
The president stood in his carriage,
boWing and smiling. When Fort Sam
Houston was reached salute of
twenty-one guns was fired and Presi-
dent Roosevelt was received by Gen
eral Jesse M. Lee. commanding the
department of Texas. After a few
minutes chat with the officers the
president reviewed the troops, who
paraded in full uniform.
Greeted by School Children.
Leaving Fort Sam Houston the
presidential party drove to the city,
where 10000 school children awaited
the president at Travis park. When
he entered the enclosure every child
held aloft q tiny United States flag
and waved 1t vigorously. The chill
dren sang America" and the presi-
dent barred his head and seemed to
be pleased with the spectacle. The
president was here joined by an es.
cort of honor made up of the veterans
of the Grand Army of the Republic
and United Confederate Veterans. The
procession then moved to the Alamo
The historic old fort was in gala at
tire and in the plaza beneath it's walls
a stand covered with flags and bum
ting and bearing a large picture of
the president had been erected. The
president, with his escort, ascended
the stand and the chief executive de-
livered speech.
After finishing his speech the presi-
dent was taken In charge by the
Rough Riders, who are holding their
annual reunion, and he was their ex-
elusive guest throughout the after
noon. Luncheon was served at the
camp in the fair grounds enclosure
and the president did not return to
the city until late in the day
