General River Matters.

Capt. Tally Fowkes, master OF the steam
barge Louisa, is in this city ON a visit to
his family while his vessel is loading at
river point.
The Philadelphia barge Rebecca T. Nc
Lain, which unloaded a cargo of fertilizer
material at Alexandria, has been brought
up to this city and taken to the Asphalt
Brick and Tile Company's plant at the
foot of South Capitol street to take aboard
a cargo of several thousand asp.faft
for Richmond where they will be used in
street repair work. The McI1ain is the
eighth or ninth vessel that has sailed from
this city with a cargo of asphalt block for
Richmond
The two-masted schooner North Carolina,
which has been out on the marine rail-
way al Alexandria to have a hole in her
hull closed and for other repair work.
has been put overheard, and has sailed
for Norfolk to load. The damage to the
hull of the schooner was received by strik-
ing a submerged pile in dock on the
Eastern branch several days ago. To raise
the schooner the service of diver was
necessary.
The tug Active arrived in port yesterday
with tow of several coal-Iaden bargeS
behind her and took them to Georgetown
to unload their cargoeS. The Active Is a
handsome new tugboat built during the
past summer for towing between Balti-
more and points on Chesapeake bay and
it's tributaries. She has made one or two
visits to this city with lows during the
past two or three months.
Dredge No. 2, the new machine belong
ing to the Potomac Dredging Company and
used for digging sand on the Piscataway
creek for this city, has gone out of serv-
ice preparatory to having changes made
in her equipment that will add greatly to
the efficiency of the machine. No. will
be out of service for week or more.
Wild ducks are still very scarce on the
Potomac and the outlook for hunting them
is not bright for the season, which opens
next month. The hunters attribute the
non-arrival of the birds to the TACT that
the weather continues warm and that we
have had no sharp frosts and northwest
rain storms and cold winds to bring the
ducks here.
The steam barge Daniel X. Jackson,
which has been under charter to the con-
tractors building the new Highway bridge,
was released from her contract last week,
and has returned to general freightlng
work on the river.

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect Of the First Warning Symp-
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright's Disease.
1t is Easily Durable in the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu.
ton is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi-
clans are of Indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is tic apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first APPEARANCE of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima-
ton of strong men and women, yet they
have serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per-
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of inca1culable value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in a bottle of
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars i'll doctors bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
Of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the FIRST stages OF kidney disease. II is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as a last
resort, in cases that defed their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many social 4 kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu-
merable.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure IN red on the front label.

LONDON, Aug. 12.-The Herald's art
correspondent in London learns from
Duveen Bros. of new terror for art
collectors.
A daring series OF frauds has been
perpetrated in Paris by what appears
to be clever gang of swindlers, who,
by making use of the well known name
of Duveen and by presenting bogus
cards of this firm, have passed off
modern forgeries of miniatures pur-
porting to be by Conway and Ingle-
heart to private collectors for very
considerable prices. and who, more
over, have induced some Paris dealers
and private people to intrust valuable
objects to their charge.
One of these men is short, square and
of slender build, with ruddy face,
mustache and hair of chestnut color,
who speaks with slight German ac-
cent.
Art collectors in America should have
care, in case this man and his gang
visit America, of dealing with anybody
who cannot produce. more substantial
credentials than mere visiting cards

BUDAPEST, Aug. 12-The romantic
story of the abduction of nobleman
by his fiancee, poor girl, comes from
Grosswarden.
The nobleman fell desperately in love
with the girl, but his parents did ev-
erything in their power to break off the
engagement, but without avail. The
preparations for the marriage were In
progress, when suddenly the young
baron disappeared.
Under the pretext of being asked to
see to some repairs at one Of the fam
lily castles, he had been lured into the
tower of the building and there impris-
oned. His rooms were luxuriously fur
nished and an old retainer was in at
tendance upon him.
The latter was. however, induced
to forward letter to the girl, who laid
plans to release the prisoner She
achieved her effort by promising the
keeper of the tower a large sum OF
money and before the baron's parents
could interfere the girl had abducted
the imprisoned baron and married him.
