From Attack of Stomach
Trouble.

Reports from the home of Senator
German today indicate that the Senator
IS again on a fair way to recovery from
his recent illness. DR.. Charles w.
Brown, the attending physician, said
that the Senator had suffered an aggra-
waited attack of stomach trouble about
ten days ago which greatly weakened
him. Yesterday and last night however.
he obtained very much rest, and today
was able to sit up.
AS soon as he has obtained strength
enough TO warrant his removal he will
be taken to a milder climate, where he
can enjoy the air without being exposed
TO the sudden changes that have been
prevalent in Washington this spring.
No one is admitted to the Senators s
home. He mas, however. kept well
abreast of the progress made in affairs
In which he is interested. and entrusted
much Of his work to his colleagues, Sen
atorS Rayner and Bailey.

Merchants and Their Gus

Noted Coin Along.

The cold. raw air this morning had a
somewhat depressing effect on the trav-
els OF the lady and the eagle on the big
silver dollar put into circulation by The
Times last week. All yesterday they
were kept flying about from one store
TO another from one pocket 10 another
persons purse, until it looked as ifmoney
in Washington was kept in one contin-
uous round of circulation.
Today however. was not a good shop
ping day and its jurneys this morning
have been more for the purpose Of Ply
ing bills rather than for PURCHASING 2
things.
An Interesting Feature.
Since it was put into circulation May
3 IT has been used twenty-one times.
An interesting feature in connection
with its travels Is that only twice has
IL been used to purchase the same an
ticle. which was stationery. At W. b.
Moses * Sons. where it was first put
into circulation. il was used TO purchase
furniture. The second day it was spent
for Oriental novelties. after which it
was used to buy china, soda water
plumbing accessories. insurance. flowers
real estate, stationery. cigars. glass
wa. hardware electric supplies, ath-
letic goods. collars, writing paper. a
tooth brush. tobacco. freight. and ex-
press hire.
At 12:S0 the dollar was in the posses
sion of Jacobs Express Company, 45 "
street northwest The message which
tolC Of its whereabouts also gave as
surance that II would soon be sent on
its journey, and as a streak of blue
could be seen here and there in the sky,
afternoon.
Well Deserved Rest.
AS predicted in yesterdays Times the
lady and the eagle were kept almost as
busy during the afternoon as they had
been in the morning. The dollar seemed
to fairly whirl from one store TO an
other, and when night came the few
hours rest in the till at @. G. c. Simns
drIg store. New York avenue and

Shortly after noon yesterday E. ..
