Rechabite Tent Program.

A large number of visitors attended the
meeting of John b Henderson Tent, No.
1889, at Concordia Hall last evening. Five
candidates were admitted under the super
vision of George Emory Cole, chief ruler.
The committee on the open meeting
for April 3 reported a program. including
the presenting of the charter by former
Senator John 3. Henderson, and its ac-
ceptance by Representative II. r. Gibson
of Tennessee, and recitation by Miss
Mary Buford Smith. A letter was read
from Mrs. Mary Foote Henderson accept
ing an invitation to be present at the meet
ing.
Under good of the order j. c. Eller of
Jehu Tent No ~ assumed the chair and
short talks were made by High Chief Ruler
John c. Moore High Secretary w. w.
Cordell, Julian j. Murray, William H. LIE
Strange, E. M. Heines, William I. Raley,
John G.. Quigley and William NJ Hail.
A prominent member of the order stated
last evening that the establishment of John
B. Henderson Tent was the beginning OF
a new era of RechabitiSm in America; that
the order would continue to battle for tenn
perance along moral suaSion lines and in
stead of fighting the saloons in the courts
they would create q sentiment that would
cause them to close for want of patronage.
He stated that while other orders may
spend thousands of dollars getting up con-
yentions and making displays of anti-saloon
character he believed the time would come
when the Recfabites would spend thou
sands of dollars sending Christian temper
ance missionary workers into the byways
and thereby diminish the consumption of
liquors which would necessitate the closing
of many saloons and pave the way for pro-
hibitiOn.

Must Erect Fire Escapes.

In an opinion submitted to the Commits
sioners yesterday Acting Corporation Coun-
sci E. II. Thomas holds that the owners of
the Washington Bank building. in which Is
located the Congressional School. are re-
CURED under the law to erect fire escapes
on the building. The owners OF the build
ing appealed from the order of the build
ing inspector that fire escapes should be
placed on the structure owing to the fact
that a portion of the building Is used for
school purposes.
'If the Congressional school is a place
where pupils attend for the purpose of in
struction." says Mr.. Thomas, ut comes
within the letter and spirit of the law. The
pupils may be few, but Congress has not
seen fit to make any distinction In that
respect; a small school is as subject to the
law as a large one

MAYOR INTERPRETERS
ORDERED TO STOP
WORK ON WILDWOOD RAILWAY.

A gang of workmen which had begun the
work of removing the rails and tearing up
the roadbed of the Baltimore. and Wash
iEgton Transit Company between the Juno
ton With the Brightwood Electric Railroad.
near the terminus of the latter road at
Takoma Park and wildwood. was stopped
yesterday by order of the mayor and coun-
Gil of Takoma Park.
The attention of the town officials was
called to the operations by Bailiff George
Day, who found the men working without
a permit and without the knowledge of the
mayor and members of the council. The
men were in charge of a foreman under
the direction of Mr.. William E. Mellen,
president of the transit company. The OBJ
ject in tearing up the tracks and roaebed
was, 1t was stated, for the purpose of IN
stalling and testing what is known as a
monorall system on the line. The cont
pany which had the work in charge is
known as the American Monorail Company.
and the object of the company, 1t is under
stood, is for the purpose of connecting with
the electric car line systems III Baltimore.
The branch railroad to Wildwood was
turned over to the parties who were inter-
ested in the summer resort and pool room
in the fall of 1903. After several raids the
propriefors of the place were closed up
and an agreement signed whereby the town
of Takoma Park assumed full control of
the railroad. The possession of the Wild
wood property was surrendered and all OF
the wires leading to the resort removed
and the railroad discontinued operation
conference was held last night between
Mayor Kinnear and President Mellen which
resulted in the mayor calling a special
meeting of the town council for Thursday
evening for consideration of the case. In
the meantime orders have been issued TO
the bailif not to permit any further tear
ing up of the street within the corporation
Any future experiments will have to be
made on property owned by the railroad
company in the vicinity of Wildwood until

BALTIC FLEET IN SHAPE.
Rojestvensky Said to Be Working Won.
ders With His Ships.

A correspondent of the London Express,
writing from Durham. Natal, under date of
March Z, says that he had just returned
from Madagascar. where he was three
times on board the battleship Kniaz Suva
rolf, the flagship of Admiral Rojestvensky.
He also made a number of visits to half
dozen other battleships and cruisers of tire
Baltic fleet.
He states that Admiral Rojestvensily has
worked wonders with the fleet. He was
unable to see any evidence that the ships
were foul or dirty, that the men were I'M
trained undisciplined and rebellious or that
their morale was as hopeless as it was re-
ported to be when the fleet left Europe. The
ships still looked somewhat unprofessonal
but were clean and trim, except their bot
toms which were more or less covered with
barnacies All the vessels had clean bills
of health. There was some suffering from
the heat, but there were no infectious dis
eases on board.
The men were subjected to tie heaviest
punishments for the smallest delinGuencies.
There was a constant routine OF drill al
heavy gun firing ana With the TORPEDO nets,
and of practice with submarine boats
When the feet arrived at Nossi-Be there
was much drunkenness, but this was prac-
tically stamped out at the time the cores
pondent visited the warships. The men
were too tired to do anything but sleep
after their days exercises.
The officers expressed eagerness to meet
the Japanese fleet. but the correspondent
was convinced that few of the older officers
believed that they would ever engage the
enemy or that they could make any sort of
fight If they did. II would be absurd to
compare the feet with British or German
fleet but the men FeoS reasonably work
manlike.
The fiction that the French were preserv-
ing neutrality was amusing. Although the
Russian ships We're anchored outside the
three-mile limit they sent boats ashore
daily. They obtained bullocks, chickens
and all sorts of supplies without difficulty
Many men in north Madagascar have be-
come rich through their traffic with the
Russians.

Deaf ness is caused by an infamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and un- less the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
