There are more cases Of kidney trou-

succumb each year to some form of
kidney disease than any other cause.
When there is sickness, examine the

CATHCART' WIFE,
ALLEGED ELOPER,
SAID TO BE HERE
Bride Ensign Pritchard
Is Said to Have Stolen,
Reported With Her
Mother.

Although nothing definite can be
learned concerning the whereabouts of
Mrs. r Harry Cathcart. daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Adolph Won Haake. of
Hammond court, Georgetown. Il was
reported today that the young bride
who IS alleged 10 have eloped with
former Ensign Earl w. Pritchard short
~ after her marriage, Is now in Wash
ington with her parents.
Mrs. Won Haake. when seen at her
apartment at Hammond court this
morning appeared 10 be in a highly nerv-
GUS state When questioned concerning
the report that her daughter has left
her husband. the son OF a wealthy
patent medicine man in Newburg, n. Y.
and gone with the young officer. Mrs
Won Haake would say nothing, except
that the affair was entirely a family
matter.
The less said about the affair."" said
Mrs Won Haake, ''the better. It is no
ones concern except my daughters. her
husbands. and mine, and the public will
get absolutely nothing from me-"
Miss Brett Reticenr.
Miss Helen Brett. daughter OF Major
Lloyd NJ Brett, u. S. A, who was
close friend Of Mrs Cathcarts. and
maid Of honor at the latter's wedding
here in July. says that she knows
nothing about the affair that she wishes
20 make public. Miss Brett's mother
says her daughter visited Mrs. Cath
cart at the home of the bridegroom S
parents in Newburg shortly after the
marriage.
II my daughter knew anything Of an
estrangement which Is alleged to have
taken place while she was there, I know
nothing about it continued Mrs. Brett.
Mr.. daughter was a close friend OF
Mrs. Cathcart before she was married.
and II Is perfectly natural TO suppose
That she knows some OF the facts con-
nected with the story. However l do
not think IL best to permit her TO talk,
as II '.ould do no good and might do
harm.
Other friends of Mrs. Won Haake's in
innate that despite the marriage OF Miss
Won Haake TO Cathcart, the bride was
and always had been in love with young
Pritchard, but that Prftchard's salary as
a ImqShlpman was not supposed TO be
sufficient by the parents Of the bride
Didn't See President.
The same friends state that Mrs. Won
Haake did not go to the President. nor
was she directly responsible for the in
'vestigation which the naval authorities
made. and which resulted in the dis
missal Of Pritchard. They also say that
the report made by the Secret Service
men, which Included a paEe torn from a
leaf IN PtttsburE hotel register, on
which appeared the name Of "Pritchard
and wife has nothing to do with the
present case.
Reports have it that Pritchard has
beer located in both Pittsburg and Ma
rlOn. Ohio, and that while in the latter
place he is quoted as having denied all
knowledge Of Mrs Cathcart's where
abouts.

LINING UP FOR 1908.

The New York Financial Chronicle
is the court organ of the Wall street
magnates, and it has declared war
against Governor Hughes because he
has seen fit, strange to say, to live up
to his prediction promises. No other
case of that sort is recorded in New
York, and the Financial Chronicle
thinks he should be bounced. He had
the audacity to compel the ringsters
land grafters in the legislature to pass
the public utilities bill, and the two
-cent-a-mile bill, and he proposes to
compel them to pass the Hearst-Mc-
CIellan recount bill. The disgust of
the Chronicle over such a keeping of
promises made to the herd is
immeasurable. 1t calls aloud for his
downfall.
But the Springfield Republican thinks
its call will not be met. Evidently"
it says, Governor Hughes. on the adj
-journment of the New York legislature,
will become more than ever a man
worth watching in connection with the
Roosevelt succession to the republican
presidential nomination. He is more
and more standing out as the person
above any other to carry along the
Roosevelt policy of corporation regula-
ton. He belongs to a state whose
electoral vote is important and which
he would be more certain of carrying
than any other of the mentionable can
~didates. And as against Secretary Taft
die has the advantage OF having become
offensive to the organ of predatory
wealth. while Taft has the disadvant-
age of having been recently Endorsed
by the conservative interests-com-
sparatively at least with Roosevelt. That
salone is enough to place Hughes In the
Aight of being the more logical successor
of the President"

Sticken To-day in Baltimore With
Apoplexy and Died in Hos

New Bern, n. c., June 3.-The entire
city il shocked-saddened, and univer-
sal sorrow blanches our community at
tho news, just flashed over the wires
from Baltimore, that our townsman ].
A.. Meadows is dead.
Mr.. Meadows left here only . few
days ago ON q visit to Baltimore, in his
usual robust health and jovfal dispo-
sition. The telegram says he was strick-
with apopiexy and died soon after
being removed to . hospital.
MI. Meadows was Of the well known
and afluent firm Of J.. A.. d e. III.
Meadows, one OF the strongest in East
srn North Carolina.
: He was one Of most public spirited
citizens, an earnest church man. OF the
Methodist faith, exemplary in all his
walks, generous OF heart n deed.
That he will be missed and mourned il
putting it but feebly. That his place
cannot be filled is but telling the SIM
pie truth.
His wife and children are crushed be-
meath the sudden blow-and the mourn
ers are all our people.
The remains will probably arrive to-
morrow evening.
