EPIDEMIC
Prevails to Alarming Extent,
But No Fatalities yet Re-
ported
Some Prominent Characters
Have Developed Serious
Symptoms.

= Yes, it has come again. Along
about this time of the year it begins
to manifest itself, especially among
those of sedentary habits.
1t would not be expected that
'etefasciovinitro, commonly called
spring fever" could subdue big,
stalwart six-footer like the manager
of the Opera House, but it did.
He said the other that it had struck
hard. He didn't feel like moving
at ALL But he has plenty of COM
pany. That tired feeling is gener-
ally complained of and like the
Apostle Peter, they go a fish
ing" But the day, as we'll as the
fish are lost, and the last condi-
ton of such men is worse than
the first.
Dennis Shaw, the individual book
keeper at the Planters Bank and
Trust Co., is SO afflicted with the dis
ease that the officials had to grant
him week off, hoping that he may
be able to do his work all right at the
expiration Of his holiday.
This little rest throws additional
work on Ira Smith, but he is natural
ly so strenuous that he can do two
mems work. But along during the
summer time he thinks rest would
be beneficial and takes trip to the
Easto or spends a season among the
aakes. No man enjoys seeing nature
in its summer or fall garb more than
Mr.. Smith and he can always inter-
estingly tell of what he has seen.
Mr.. Moses Elb is another man fond
of scenery. Last year he and his
better half had a delightful trip
drought the northwest and spent
some time in Canada. He has not
yet mapped out his encourage for
this year. He made an initial trip to
Louisville last week and took in"
the Exposition. Mr.. Elb is a small
man but he is.plenty large to absorb
as much of interest as anybody. He
says the Louisville ''Ex" is a big
thing
Claude Clark has been too busy
during the present term of the cir
cult court to think much about fish
ing or anything else. Court lasts
two weeks longer and then Mr..
Clark twill be a free man. He
will no doubt spend much time on
the river bank angling. That tired
feeling so often quoted has no terror

under the auspices OF the Cosmopolitan
Temple Baptist Church, Major Richard
Sylvester was greeted by four thousand
colored children, not counting the mo-
thers and fathers and aunts OF these lit
tie colored Americans. When It was
announced that Major Sylvester would
address the colored children at Green

manifested on the part of the cOlored
citizens to get their children ready to
greet the Chief of Police.
Major Sylvester arrived at the ap-
pointed hour, and on his approach four
thousand colored children, with Amer
lean flags, arranged themselves from the
entrance at the gate to the pavilion
while the band played Hail to the
Chief"
Major Sylvester was escorted to the
pavilion and was introduced as the
guardian of the life and property of the
people. As he stepped forward he was
greeted by a tremendous applause, and
said in part as follows:
Children and older folks who call
themselves such; 1t has been a long
time since visited the hillside, and

Il Matter of Bad Blood BetUeen the
TAO Races.
Trouble Now Serious.

There are two races in every person :
blood, one is red race and the other is
a white race. The red race represents
food and the white race represents the
scavengers. The red race produces
healthy color in your cheeks, healthy
flesh on your bones strength, brightness
in your yes and all the happiness that
comes from good health. The white
race takes the impurities out OF the blood
and wards against disease. There can
not be too many Reds" but if there are
too many whites" then the blood is
said to be thin, the face gets pale, and
the whole BODY is open to attacks of any
kind of disease
Graham's Blood Compound wards off
disease and is recommended for all blood
impurities, eczema, pimples, and skin dis
eases.

intimate friends, who preceded them to
that edifice, around the doors of which
fingered gathering of the curious some
what larger than usually shares in watch

strangers to it. The automobile accident
OF Monday afternoon, in which the young
couple fortunately escaped serious injury,
naturally contributed to the local interest
In their welfare, but the bride-elect's plucky
remark Immediately after the spill out in
Rock Creek Park that the wedding cere-
mony would not be put off, in consequence
OF It., left no doubt in the minds of her
frlenos that all would go happily today.
Inc only untoward feature was the in
ability of her friend and chaperon, Mrs.
Bella H Jacobs, to be present to give her
away at the altar, but while her condition
Is progressing satisfactorily she is still con-
fined to her bed in the Georgetown Uni
versity Hospital. where the happy couple
visited her yesterday and will in all prob
ability go again late today. Capt. Browne
and his bride went up the church aisle
together to the chancel, where Rev C..
Ernest Smith, DID, performed the service.
Flowers and palms adorned the recesses Of
the chancel and bloomed on the altar.
Inc prlde dreSS was one OF the prettieSt

and with it was worn a white lace hat
trimmed with long white plumes. She
carried a shower bouquet of bride roses
and sweet peas Capt. Browne showed
many traces of the accident with the cuts
and bruises on his face and his arm BAN
daged. The bride showed no signs at all of
her experiences, but was as smiling pretty
and as animated as possible. The couple
will not leave town until Mrs. Jacobs Is
perfectly restored to health. Then they will
make an extended tour of this country be-
fore going to England to pass the winter
en- route for India, where the regiment of
Capt. Browne is stationed.
