How to Break Up a Cold.

1t may be surprise to many to
learn that severe cold can be COM
pletely broken up in one or two days
time. The first symptoms of cold
are a dry, loud cough, profuse
watery discharge from the nose, and
thin, white coating on the tongue.
When Cnamberlain's cough remedy is
taken every hour on the first appear
ance of these symptoms, it counter
acts the effect of the cold and re-
stores the system to healthy condi-
ton within day or two. For sale bv

Trouble in a Hospital.
Special Correspondence of The Star.
FREDERICKSBURG Va.

Special Correspondence OF Inc star
FREDERICKSBURG Va,
February II, 1905.
The young women nurses OF the Mary
Washington Hospital in this city received
a written notice from the executive COM
mittee of the institution several days ago,
1t is alleged, stating that their services
would not be desired after the 18th of this
month Within few hours after recelV-
ing their notice, and acting upon adVice
of friends the nurses left the hospital
The trouble began some time ago, Wnen
physician from Stafford county brought
negro woman to the institution for treat
ment There being no colored ward in the
hospital, she was placed In small spare
room and was attended by the head nurse,
the other nurses positively refusing to give
her attention.
One OF the nurses also stated that boy
had been employed by the hospital authors
ties to make the fires and keep them sup
piled with fuel. About a week ago the boy
was discharged. The nurses thought new
boy would be secured and in the meantime
they attended to the duties required of the
boy. Learning that a new boy was not to
be employed they refused to perform the
duties any longer.
The nurses have held meeting and have
sent a written request to the executive
board of the hospital asking for an expla-
nation of their discharge. The hospital 10

THE ME- TRIO SYSTEM
Its Adoption by This Country
Probable.
A BILL Is NOW PENDING
DR.. Stratton Discusses the Reasons
for the Reform.
ALREADY LARGELY IN USE
Increasing Interest in the Subject
Among Ali Glasses Of
People.

Gradually. almost without realizing 1t,
the United States is coming round to the
adoption of the metric system. The change
has been made voluntarily by many scien-
lists on account of the ease of the decimal
system of expression and the necessity for
having an international standard in which
the workers of one country could easily
appreciate the writings of another. Tho
government by various small steps has first
legalized the system here and then made 1t
compulsory in number of classes Of work.
The advocates of the system are all en-
thusiasts, and are ready to push the work
of introducing the international standard
and abolishing the old whenever oppor-
tunity offers. There Is now a bill before
Congress making the metric system COM
pulsory in ell government business. This
bill has little opposition to face from any
quarter, and thus will probably be passed
at the present session.
One Of the most earnest advocates of the
metric system in Washington is DIR. 8. w.

Western and other competing lines was
done very quietly by Mr.. Casatt personally
without the knowledge of a single one OF
the directors of the Pennsylvania company.
His private secretary did not even suspect
what was going on 1t was the most au-
daeious and In other respects the most
remarkable transaction that ever took place
in railroad history. After the Supreme
Court of the United States had dissolved
what was known as the gentlemen pool,
an agreement between the presidents OF
the several eastern trunk lines that they
would maintain rates, Mr.. Cassatt went
over to New York and called on Mr. w.
K. Vanderbilt at the general offices Of the
the situation at length and finally agreed
that the only way to prevent rate wars and
keep UP the earnings of their roads was
to buy the control of competing lines. the
two men then went into the market indf-
vidually, without consulting any one, and
began to buy the shares of the B. and ..
and the other railways named. Their or
ders were scattered among SO many brok-
ers and so many cities that they did not
attract attention and before the summer
was over they jointly held control of the
stock of their competitors and had taken
into their confidence Mr.. J. P. Morgan.
who, at the same time. had bought up the
Erie and the Lackawanna roads.
All of this stock was bought with their
individual funds and on their individual ac-
counts. When they got to the end of their
bank in Boston or Chicago, or wherever 1t
could be done without attracting attention,
and borrow money on it. and with the pro-
ceeds buy more stock. When they had Sc
cured all the stock they wanted they re-
ported their transactions to their boards of
directors and afterward to their stockhold-
ers and transferred their individual certih-
Gates to the ownership of their companies.
The object of this enormous investment was
to maintain rates, and 1t has been success
full There have been no freight wars or
passenger wars since, and within a short
time all of the roads were paying dividends
which several of them had never done be-
fore Thus permanent railway peace was
established.
Control Of Eastern Trunk Lines.
You will see by the reply Of the President
to the Gillespie resolution that the officers
and directors of the New York Central and
Pennsylvania companies are represented on
the boards of all the other lines named.
This gives them the practical control Of all
the trunk lines between the Mississippi
river and the Atlantic seaboard. The Gould
system, which includes the Wabash, the
Virginia Central, the Western Maryland
and other connecting links, Is not yet COM
pleted, but when its tracks are finished
from Chicago and st. Louis to Baltimore
the Cassatt-Vanderbilt combination will
have another problem to solve. The Grand
Trunk. which runs part way through Can
ada, is also outside OF the combination, but
there is an understanding with that COM
pany under which rates are maintained.

UNABLE TO SERVE WARRANT.
Mrs. Chappell Eludes Police in Effort
to Save Her Dogs.

The police of the ninth precinct are having
a contest with Mrs. Lizzie NJ. Chappell of $40
18th street northeast. They have a warrant
for her arrest for an alleged violation OF
the regulation which requires the owners to
have animals tagged. She remains out of
sight Of the police, however, and they have
been unable to serve the warrant. 1t Is
stated that Mrs. Chappen called upon the
police several days ago and requested them
to have the poundmaster remove dog
from her premises. The poundmaster sent
his assistants to the house. but Mrs. Chap
pell had changed her mind. 1t is alleged
that there were two dogs in the house and
she said she would find homes for them
rather than have them killed. A warrant
was then sworn out, with the result stated.

TAFT FOR PRESIDENT
AND ELECTED AT
YALE BANQUET LAST NIGHT.
Jolly Sons of Eli Give Secretary Of
War a Boost-Toasts and
Responses.

Half jocular, half In earnest, the under
tone that ran through all the toasts and
responses at the annual Yale Alumni ban
quet last night at Rauscher's was the cam
didacy of Secretary of War Taft, an alum
nus and a speaker of the evening" for the
presidency.
Justice Brewer, In the first speech of the
evening, began the chatting by referring to
the Secretary as an example Of the eff
cheney and thorough executive ability Of the
Yale product. The man, who, in the alb
sence OF the President Of the United States,
had SO successfully sat upon the lid, is
plainly the right man, as the American
people have since decided to control and
sit upon the whole cover.
Weight, height and rotundity were not
omitted in the catalogue of the Secretary's
qualifications, and other speakers, referring
to the man of the wide sirdle and corre-
spending popularity, made Yale's candidate
the only presidential possibility.
The secretary's Response.
Secretary Taft himself, when he came to
speak. referred humorously to his nomina-
ton and election by the body. He said:
Il am delighted at being nominated and
elected President of the United States here
tonight, and 1 accept the honor without
qualification. Among the women and resi-
dents of the District who have no votes. I
appreciate my popularity. had other am
bitlons but under the circumstances will
no longer be looking into the health of
Justice Brewer and other members of the
Supreme Court
President Henry M. Hoyt of the alumni
presided at the banquet, at which there
were present some sixty-five members.
After Dinner Speeches.
Justice Brewer very strongly advocated
the establishment of a national university
at Washington, claiming that such an In
stitution would establish a bond between
all sections of the country, such as could
be brought about In no other way JUS
tice Brewer commended the activity of
the age, even as exCmplified In the vel
lowest effuson of the yellow journal, but
called upon the college men, as the fac
ton representing the trained intellect of
the nation. to uphold that which is best
in American life.
Henry st. George Tucker of Virginia
spoke for the schools OF the south, but
as president of the jamestown exposition,
appealed to the patriotism of the alumni
in the support of that exposition.
Secretary Taft referred to newspaper
abuse and criticism of those in public life.
He said all those whose ambition or fate
PIT shes ahead must necessarily meet this
opposition. He held, however that the
opinions of the people are not dependent
on headlines merely, and that in the in ebb
and flow of reports public opinion ulti-
mately reached a just conclusion.
Rev. E. B. Bagby told tales of the col
ored folks; Father Buel. president of George
town University, spoke of the college from
the standpoint of the educator; Gen. An
drew Burt, U. S. A, told of college rushes
in the 5os, and Clifford Pinchot spoke of
the influence and possibilities of the west.
Other speakers responded to numerous
toasts
