Disease Most Prevalent In the Fall
Months. Simple Way to Cure.
At the first warning of catarrh, one
should begin using Hyomei. There is
no stomach dosing with this treatment.
The medication of its healing oils and
balsams is taken in with the air you
breathe so that it reaches the most re-
mote cells of the nose, throat and
lungs, killing the catarrh germs wher-
ever present, and soothing all irrita-
tons in the mucous membrane.
You run no risk in paying G. A.
Parcher 81 for Hyomei outfit, as he
gives his personal guarantee that if the
remedy does not afford relief. your
money will be refunded at once. Extra
bottles of Hyomei, if needed, cost but
so cents, making it the most economi-
cal treatment for catarrh as well as
the only one that is sold on guarantee.

THE sQUARE-RIGGER.
Disappearance From the Seas Of the
Famous Old ship.


Disappearance From the Seas OF the
Famous Old ship.
Within the past month the maritime
| journals have contained the advertise
ments OF three ships and baroues and two
briggs offered for sale by their owners, inn
mediately upon their return from their
voyages. The presumption is that these
vessels will be dismasted and Join the
increasing feet OF coal barges recruited
from the ranks of the old sauare-riggers.
This process, which has been going on
steadily for many years past, appears to
be more rapid than ever Of late. Between
1894 and the present time the number of
vessels OF this class under the American
| flag has decreased from 633 TO go. The
United States commissioner of naviga-
ton predicts their entire disappearance
inside OF twenty years.
The interesting feature of this marine
evolution is that it is not the sailing ves-
sci as such that is disappearing, but this
particular type of sailing vessel. The
schooner, as has been often pointed out.
was never SO popular as at the present
| time. IL has been developed. enlarged.
and invested with more masts than the
old-time skipper ever dreamed Of. James
| G. McCurdy. who writes in 1.-THE World
To-d day on Ships That Are Passingn, after
alluding to the conversion of ships into
cargo barges, saws: "But lately, as though
our fleet of square Triggers was not being
retired fast enough by wreck and con-
| demnation, the plan of transforming
sound, sea- worthy ships and barks into
| schooners has been tried with such signal
success that the practice seems destined to
become quite general" His article is
illustrated by photographs OF several
ships so transformed.
Thus the square rigger is doomed, not
because the steamship is doing all the
carrying by sea, but because the particular
qualities which it possessed are no longer
worth paving for. The souare-rigger is
the elder type, to begin with. According
| to Mr., McCurdy, the first fore-and-af
rugged vessel was built at Gloucester in
i7l3. The famous Baltimore clippers COM
bined both rigs with the graceful sharp
hull that was their characteristics. The
superiority OF the square-rigger for

carry sail. She could not sail so close to
the wind: she could not be manned as
cheaply. But the square-rigger could

term moonrakers became admirably de-
scriptiye. A sail-area third greater than
that provided by the most effective fore
and-aft rig-that was the approximate
equivalent of a one-third increase in the

concerned he had some Justification; and
with that contrariety which is SO uni

ly for his treatment of his players. There
is no doubt that he is quick-tempered,
and he is absolutely intolerant of stu

prehend why every actor should not work
as hard. study as diligently and compre-
bend as quickly as does himself. Any
PLAYER who strives half as hard as Mr..

along with him. The player that drives
him frantic is one who has achieved some
measure of success without having learn

Discovery of Great Gold Field.
From Outing.


Five years ago Desert rancher named
Jim Butler was prospecting in southwestern
Nevada, packing his outfit along on the
backs of six burros, truding among the
mountains $50 miles from railroad In
country which an experienced miner would
have laughed at.
1t had none of the signs of goId-bearing
rock, and In his plumb ignorance Butler
plodded along forty miles from water and
one mile from Ill.," trusting to gold-seek-
er's luck, and not at all confident of making
a strike big enough to keep him in tobacco
money.
One night he camped at Tonopah Spring
and found some rock that looked good to
HIM He broke off a few chunks loaded
them on burro and took them home In the
course of time In the town of Belmont,
near his ranch, his rock was greeted with
light-hearted increduiity, and he was about
to throw it away when young lawyer
named Oddie pricked up his ears. and with
the rashness of youth offered TO have the
samples assayed-
Butler went back to his ranch In Monitor
Valley and betook himself to the more i'm
portant business of harvesting his hay crop.
He had forgotten all about his rock when
Oddie sent him word that the stun assayed
several hundred dollars ton in gold ana
silver.

hearing the story of how she took a ride
on the first railroad in Virginia she would
laugh heartily. and her eyes would twinkle
with merriment.
Mrs. Lomax lived on the plantation of her
master until the civil war was nearly over.
She helped in hiding things about the house
and outbuildings in an effort to keep them
away from Union soldiers. After the war
she was brought to this city, and was quar-
tered for time on Analostan Island after
which she obtained work in the family of
Rev. DR.. Tavlor. at the time pastor of the
West Street Presbyterian Church
She later went to live with the family of
Rev. DR.. Butler. Her son also worked for
the same minister and later obtained a po-
sition in the War Department.
Aunt Fannie had always been an ar
dent member of the Colored Baptist
Church, and was one of the founders of
the First Baptist Church of Georgetown.
She always attributed her great age as a
reward for life well lived She was the
mother of twelve children. The funeral ar
rangements will probably be completed late
today.

Cultivating Lawns.

Lawns should he cultivated by this is

This has been known to completely XIII

also tends to keep out the weeds. To have
good lawn, rake it thus at least every
three or four weeks, especially when the
cut grass is left on the ground.

AUNT" FANNIE LoMAx DEAD.
Deceased Was Nearly 1O6 Years OF
Age

After a life of one hundred and five years.
four months and twenty-five days, accord
ing to records, Aunt Fannie Lomax
passed away this morning at the residence
of her son, Solomon Lomax. near the Vir-
gnia end of the Aqueduct bridge. De-
ceased was born down in Virginia, Janu-
airy 16, 1901, and until short time ago was
in the best of health. She had been the
subject of more than one newspaper and
magazine article. Her own word and that
of the record of her birth, taken from the
family Bible of her old master down in
Virginia, go to show that she lived to the
unusual age above stated.
Mrs. Lomax, January 16, 1905, celebrated
her 104th birthday at the home of her son
and many callers congratulated her.
At that time Aunt Fannie was in good
health and to all indications 1t seemed as
though she would live to see several more
summers. One of her callers was Rev. ].

Church of this city, in whose family
Aunt Fannie had served for years Il

was able to remember events that had
happened early during her life. Then 1t
seemed as though her memory failed. In
her youth Mrs. LomaX was employed in
the home of Mr.. Buckney, a wealthy Vir-
gilman of ante-bellum days. 1t was in the
service of that family that she had the OPP
portunity of observing and learning the
trend of events down in old Virginny,
of which her companions in slavery were
ignorant.

after life as one who knew much of proper
