CATARRH CAN BE CURED
Kill the Germs by Breathing
Hy-O-mei.
Gives Quick Relief.

Many people who have suffered with catarrh for
years naturally feel that the disease cannot be
cured, and become discouraged
Their failure to get relief is due to the fact that
they have not used the right remedy. Catarrh is
an affection of the head throat and lungs, and
cannot be cured by stomach dosing.
The only. scientific and natural treatment for
this disease is Hyo-mei which is breathed through
a neat pocket inhaler, SO that its healing medcated
air reaches the most remote air cells, kills all
catarrh germs, and restores the mucous membrane
of the nose throat and lungs to healthy condition
Hy-o-mei is the only cure for catarrh that has
ever been sold with the understanding that 1t was
to cost absolutely nothing unless 1t cured. Henry
Evans sells Hyo-mei in this way and is always
ready to refund the money IL it does not relieve
and cure catarrh.
The healing and antiseptic balsams of Hy-o-m mel
perform their purpose to perfection, and by using
this remedy for few times each day you can soon
cure yourself of any catarrhal troubles.

BELIEVES IN JOHN SMITH.
W. w. Ellsworth Discusses Achieve
n,ents of Colonial Leader.

Before large gathering of the members
of the National Geographic Society, in the
National Rifles Armory last evening, Mr..
w. w. Ellsworth associate editor of the
Century Magazine, delivered a lecture upon
Captain John Smith and Jamestown"
The lecturer gave reasons for the belief
that the rescue of Capt Smith by the In
dian princess, Pocahontas, and many of
Smiths adventures in his early life and
later in Virginia, have foundation in fact
Mr.. Ellsworth declared that many of the
historians of later days have discredited
some of the stories of the colonist captain,
and stated that though Smith had displayed
a spirit of egotism which could have been
avoided by a more skillful writer, he, the
speaker. believed he was a man of eXtraor
binary character and ability as a leader.
The maps prepared by Capt. Smith were
stated to be authentic.
In speaking of the James river. Mr.. Ellis
worth said it is steadily encroaching upon
jamestown Island, and that if nothing is
done by the government to complete the
breakwater construction, the old church
tower and other evidences of the early
colonial days will soon be washed away.
Many beautiful stereopticon views of the
historic homes upon the banks of the James
and other parts OF Virginia were shown.

RESIDENTS MAKE PROTEST.
Object to Paving Street With Asphalt
RlocES

The intention of the Commissioners to
pave street between North Capitol and
1st streets with asphalt blocks has called
for considerable protest from the residents
and property owners in that sluare. They
vigorously oppose having their street paved
with ''old alley blocks" as they term the
asphalt blocks. in a petition received by the
Commissioners this morning. signed by
more than forty persons. They declare
that they would prefer to have the surface
of their street remain in its present worm
out condition than have the ALLEY blocks v
Accompanying the petition was a letter
of protest from J. W. Sharer OF II T street
northwest. He stated that the material to
be used on I street is such as the Com
miSsioners use in paving alleys and back
streets, and in view of the fact that the
owners of property in that section of the
city pay as much taxes in proportion as
the property owners in other sections. the
Commissioners should treat them in a more
just and considerate manner.
c. 3. Hunt to whom the petition was re-
ferreG, stated today that the petitioners
characterization of the type of pavement
to be laid on Z street is not warranted by
facts He says the block pavement is be-
lieved to be the most suitable for this street
and was selected for use for that reason. as
it has also been laid on streets where proper
conditions existed, such as T street. 1t
might incidentally be noted, Mr.. Hunt
stated, in case the petitioners arc preju-
diced that this same form of pavement has
been laid on Massachusetts avenue just
west of Sheridan Circle northwest.
Commissioner Bddle sail the protestants
are mistaken in the statement that asphalt
blocks are used exclusively in paving alleys
and back streets; that the greater part OF
East Washington is paved with TINS ma
terial AMI that it has also been used in
Columbia Heights. He stated that the Com
missioners feel satisfied that when the pave
ment is constructed there will be no just
cause for complaint.

The first sniff OF gunpowder blew
| over the Continental Congress this
morning, when the report Of Mrs. NJ +.
| S. Davis. treasurer. was called for. This
! report is the one in which is embodied
the true financial condition Of the so
ciety.
Mrs. Davis has come into the pub z
eve recently in connection with the pu =
chase of railroad bonds. Mrs. Davis
freely stated that she had opposed
these purchases, gave figures 20 show
I they had been unWise. and further af-
firmed that contracts had been taken
out for moro money than there IS in
the treasury, thus violating the society s
constitution. Mrs. Davis, II IS said, has
more thar once refused 10 consent 10
sign vouchers for money unless its use
was specifically stated, and altogether
the relations between the treasurer ana

NEXT QUAKE
LIKELY TO Be
IN COLUMBIA

At least one man. who has studied
seismic disturbances. has succeeded in
| predicting the locality Of an earthquake
months before the shock occurred.
He is DR.. Charles Willard Hayes. OF
the United States Geological Survey.
who made a report for the Government
on seismic conditions in Nicaragua in
1899. In this report he made the state
ment after the recent destructive earth
quake al Valparaiso that he would noC
be surprised II the next section of the
American continent 10 be visited by d
seismic disturbance would be somewhere
between San Francisco and Valparaiso,
probably in Mexico.
Next One in U. S. of Columbia.
DR.. Hayes would not be surprised If
the next earthquake should occur IN
the United States Of Colombia, South
America.
In speaking OF the earthquake in Mex
leo yesterday DR.. Hayes said TO a
Times reporter this morning:
while 1t IS impossible TO predict with
any accuracy the location and time OF
the occurrence Of an earthquake, our
knowledge Of the geological structure
Of the earth enables US 10 determine
within certain limits the probable areas
where seismic disturbances are most
likely to occur. The course Of these dis
turbances may be expected 10 follow
a general line Of adjustment Of the
eaTths crust along the western slope
OF the two American continents. the line
being somewhat broken in Central
America.
The course from South America ex-
tends north to the islands in the Carib-
bean Sea, and that from North America
IS traceable down through Mexico and
Central America. This course extends
north along the coast Of Alaska across
the AIeutian Islands. down the Siberian
coast, through Japan and thence across
the Indian ocean.
Alaska First of Series.
The disturbance in Alaska a few
years ago was the first OF the series
that has afflicted the Western Hemis-
phere recently. It was natural TO ex-
pect the next one at some distance,
and, as IL happened, this occurred at
San Francisco. Then the Valparaiso
disturbance being so far 10 the south
Il mas probable that the next shake
would be somewhere between the two.
The shock at Jamaica was probably

Dr. Hayes. when asked If he would
venture TO predict the locality in which
the next earthquake might occur. said
that ne did not wish TO go on record as
making any prediction on a matter con- /
corning which scientific knowledge was
so limited, but was OF the opinion that
it would not be unreasonable to look |
