To the Editor Of The Washington Times;
In transmitting reply 10 the various
questions in your circular letter OF Aug
ust 4. I will take advantage of your
request for remarks pertaining 10 tb-
general subject"
IN the first place let Us imagine thar
the inhabitants Of Washington constI-
tute an army. about 10000 strong. en-
camped on the banks OF the Potomac.
What are we here for?
Well. that is the question \ very
sensible purpose for our being here
would be for our individual and col
lective prosperity.
Now another pertinent question-hOS
can this prosperity be accomplished?
The answer 10 this is easy-by fight
ing!
An army never brightens a page in
history until Il fights. No matter how
laudible purpose for which an army Is
brought together. no matter how strong
the board OF strategy. no matter how
well the campaign may be planned. no

Naval Militiamen Disappointed.

Captain StrattOn explained that the
recall Of the Puritan would be a great
disappointment 20 the members Of the
District Naval Militia, almost the entire
force of which was preparing 10 take
this cruise. Admiral Converse pointed
out TO him that he saw nothing TO do
but obey orders and send the warship
up for the President TO look at The
ship, in fact, could not be spared, as
four monitors are required to make the
proper quota.
When the Puritan was Withdrawn

other monitors, Of this squadron are the

Captain Stratton was satisfied with
the explanation. and will Immediately

Expected Action Takes Place When Councilman
From Seventh Ward Is Placed at the Head
OF the epartment-LeaVes> Seat in
Chamber Vacant Until Election

Edward Kern, councilman Of the Sew
enth ward, was made chief of police by
the police commission last night. He
will assume his duties as soon as he has
filed his bond and the city council has
taken favorable action on it. The coun-
Gil will meet Monday, and after that
date Kern will be chief.
With the filing of his bond he will
also present his resignation as men,
Der of the city council, as the charter
forbids one individual holding two city
positions. This will mean that until
another councilman is elected at the
municipal election in December and
formally installed in January the Sew
enth ward seat will be vacant.
The charter provides that when an
elected official resigns his position a
special election must be held to pro-
vide his successor. but as a special cleo
ton requires a great quantity of red
tape, there would not be time for the
necessary publication before the gen.
eral municipal election is held.
Kern's appointment was not uneX-
pected. More than a month ago one OF
the police: commissioners admitted that
his name was under consideration. AT
that time Captain Auble's years leave
of absence, during which he served as
chief, was about to expire, and 1t was
necessary to make some provision for
the, chieftainship. Councilman Kerns
name was considered by the commits
sion, but before that body had come tc
decision Auble's leave expired and he
was permitted to again assume a cap
taincy, and Paul Flammer, captain OF
detectives, was named as temporary
appointee.
Kern Is Not Surprised
Although there was every assurance
that Kern would receive the plum botl
he and Mayor McAleer evaded the
question when asked concerning the
truth of the report. AS late as yester
day afternoon Kern, with a quizzica
smile, said that he knew nothing abou
the plans of the commission.
He was present at the meeting las
night however, and did not seem at al
surprised when DIR. Ralph Hagan brok,
the Ice and opened the meeting by NOV
ing that Kern be appointed chief of po
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-21

lice. Saddler seconded the motion and
| the appointment was made without a
dissenting vote.
Kern modestly accepted the honor
ana retired to an anteroom, where he
nursed his surprise and qualification in
one of his big, Sphinx-like smiles. He
said he was surprised, but if he was
he wasn't rendered speechless by it, as
he made a little speech after the meet
ing, in which he said that he would
strive to do his duty as he saw it and
would give the police commission no
occasion to regret its action.
The length of time which Kern will
serve the city as chief of police will
probably depend on the result Of the
mayoralty election. The next mayor
! will have the privilege Of, removing
G.Kern and substituting some one else,
If he so chooses, After, the first of the
/ year there will be a new mayor.
May Be Retained
1t is said that if A. C. Harper, the
Democratic candidate is elected, Kern
| will retain the office, as Kern votes
the Democratic and was. elected to the
city council as a Democrat. If Dr.
Walter Lindley, the Republican candi-
date for mayor wins, Kern also has a
good chance, according to report, but
if Lee c. Gates, the non-partisan can
didate, is placed in the mayors chair
1t, Is believed another chief will take
Kern's place.
Chief Kern is a partner in a rea'
estate and insurance business and in
order to devote his entire time to the
affairs Of the police department will
have to give up this business, as well
as his seat in the council. He has
served four years as q member of the
city council and during his term as
councilman has made the securing OF
a street railway on East Seventh street
his ambition. He was not successful
until few months ago, when he in

ing accomplished this, he announced
that he was ready to retire from poll.

for the council.

Catarrh Of the Stomach
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and
EffectuaI Cure for It
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or
bloating sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
risings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing, headaches, tickle
appetite, nervousness and a general
played out languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the in
terror of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, inflamed condi-
tion.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in treatment
which causes the food to be readily.
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach.
To secure prompt and healthy diges-
tion Is the one necessary thing to do,
and when normal digestion is secured
the catarrhal condition viii have dis
appeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin. a little Nux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets and not being a patent
medicine can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy ap-
petite and thorough digestion will fol-
low their regular use after meals.
Mr.. r. S. Workman, Chicago, ILL.,,
writes: "Catarrh is a local condition
resulting from a neglected cold in the
head, whereby the lining membrane of
the nose becomes inflamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches
the stomach, thus producing catarrh of
the stomach. Medical authorities pre-
scribed for me for three years for ca
tarrh of stomach without cure, but to-
day / am the happlest OF men after
using only one box of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. l cannot find appro-
PIRATE words to express my good feel

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as we'll as the SIM
plest and most convenient remedy fol

OBJECTS To WIFE
PLAYING GAMES
THE HUSBAND DOESN'T LIKE
TABLEAUX
Woman Seeks Divorce Because Of AL
legged Cruelty of Man, Who
Got Angry About "sesI-
ing" Process

Because, as she alleged her husband
took exception to the fact that she
played in a game called the Three
Patriarchs," in which of a trio of bib
lical characters she represented the
part of Isaac" Mrs. Ida McClain of
the Mormon church yesterday at
tempted to secure divorce from
George W. McClaln on numerous
grounds, which Judge Wilbur of the
superior court refused to recognize.
The couple were married in 1884 and
shortly thereafter moved to Arizona. 1t
was during the stay in Arizona that
the chief trouble occurred and the
woes related by the woman yesterday
were many.
According to the testimony of wit
nesses, there had been hard feeling
between man and wife because of q
party given at the McClain home in
Arizona. 1t was alleged that Mrs. Nc
Claim and two men went to n rear
room of the house to prepare for a
game called the Three Patriarchs."
Yesterday the court attempted to find
out just what the nature OF that game
was but aside from the fact that 1t
was some kind of n tableau no further
information could be gained.
Objects to Sealing
al dily rate, LHS WOIildll anu IWO
men, according to allegations, were
donning clothing supposed to have
been proper in the days of the ancient
Jews, when McClain rebelled. He put
the aged Abraham, the first member
of the tableau, to flight by long
swing for the solar region and Jacob
made a hasty exit, leaving Mrs. Nc
Claim in the robes of Isaac to face the
music, which seemed to have been un-
melodious.
On another occasion, according to
the testimony at the trial, Mrs Nc
Claim dreamed that she had been sealed
with the bishop of the Mormon church.
The court inquired what the sealing
process was, and Mrs. McClain eX-
planned that she had been pledged to
be the bishops celestial companion.
The husband was alleged to have
taken a grudge against the bishop and
to have become excited whenever he
saw that dignitary. He could not relish
the thought of the bishop being his
wife's companion even in the celestial
zone and then came separation.
The husband, however, contested the
case, denying all the allegations
against him and replying in detail.
At the conclusion of the trial Judge
Wilbur refused to grant a decree and
the case was ordered out of court.
