Minister Russell Arrives.

w. w. Russell, American Minister to
Venezuela, arrived In New York on Mon.
day, accompanied by his family, on the
steamer Caracas. He is home on leave oil
absence and came to Washington on Tues
day.
Mr.. Russell said little information was
obtainable at Caracas regarding conditions
at La Guaira, which Is under close quaran-
tine as a result of an outbreak OF bubonic
plague.
Reports OF serious differences between
President Castro, of Venezuela, and Minis
ter Russell were denied by Mr.. Russell.
The Minister said that while 1t was true he
and President Castro were not in perfect
accord on all subjects, there had been moth
ing in the nature of serious trouble In their
relations.
Reports Of President Castro's Ill health
have been considerably exaggerated, Mr..
Russell said, adding that the President seems
to be in excellent physical condition, rides
out every day and there appears TO be no
doubt OF his hold upon power. The rank
and file Of the army is loyal to him, said
the Minister, and the officers are his friends.
"The people of Venezuela must be In
sympathy with their President, too" said
the Minister, "else they would not submit
to his direction of governmental affairs"

Follow Hounds All Night.

A large party of Montgomery counly's
most ardent followers of the hounds enjoyed
fox hunt all last Friday night. The mem.
bers report the finest sport of the kind they
ever experienced. In the party were Messrs.
Edward G. Peter, w. Outerbridge Spates
former sheriff James p. Gott, Richard T.
Spates, Charles A. Clagett, Cecil Allnutt,
William Dawson, William Chiswell, John
Magruder, James Atwood, Clay Edwards
Bernard Atwood and others.
The fun started about 8 O'Clock, and the
eighteen fine hounds were soon after big
red fox. The chase was uninterrupted for
fully two hours, and the pace in the bright
moonlight became 80 hot that the fox took
refuge in its den. The dogs were called off
and it was only very short while before
another fox was on the run. This chase
also proved splendid one and lasted IN
til midnight. The hunters then turned
toward home. They had not progressed
very far, however, before one of the dogs
struck a scent and the entire pack was soor
in pursuit. This proved the finest chase o
the three, and continued until O'CLOCK
Saturday morning.
The hunt was principally for the purpos,
of testing dogs from the upper section o
the county against those from this section
and it is understood that the animals PROVED
tn emselves to be evenly matched.

blood and system the poisons, acids and waste
matter, which cause not only Rheumatism,
but numerous other diseases. Every man or

not healthy and active, or who suffers from
any urinary trouble whatever, should not

Arthur Kemp Ill.

Attorney s. v. Hayden, counsel for j,
Arthur Kemp, former chief and property
clerk Of the police department, under In
dictment for embezzlement and larceny
to-day filed with Justice Barnard q certificate
Of DR.. hewitt as TO the physical condition
of Kemp. DR.. hewitt says he has had
Kemp under observation for ten weeks, and
the former clerk is suffering from severe
form of neurosthenia. He is restless, the
physician says, and suffers from insomnia
and mental instability, having depression
of the melancholy type. In addition, the
patient, according to the physicians certi-
fl cate, has catarrh of the stomach, and has
lost thirty-ive or forty pounds in weight.
DR.. hewitt concludes his certificate with
the statement that Kemp could not undergo
trial al this time without serious danger to
his life.
Relying on this certificate, Attorney Hay.
den asked the Court to formally postpone
the trial until next fall. He informed Jus.
tice Barnard that professional engagement
calls him to England and passage has been
secured on the st. Paul leaving New York
next Saturday. He could not possibly re-
turn within three weeks, he stated.
Assistant United States Attorney Turner
opposed the postponement Of the trial until
October, saying it is the desire of Mr.. Baker
to dispose of the case before the summer
recess of the Court. He announced that the
government will have physical examina.
ton Of Kemp made. He asked the Court to
set the case for the third week of June.
Justice Barnard declined to set date fol-
the trial, remsrking that the matter might
stand over until the report OF the physician
employed by the government had been re.
ceived. Washington Star of Tuesday.

In Memoriam.

In sad and loving remembrance of our
darling Ethel, only daughter Of VIM. H. and
Louise Page, who died May 23rd, 1901.
So bright and beautiful was the morning
That our dear Ethel passed away;
She seemed to hear q voice calling,
'Leave thy afflicted bed to day"
So cheerfully she talked of dying,
Nor did she shrink at deaths cold look,
For she said the cold, dark river
Seemed to her but little brook.
In her youth she sought her Savior,
In affection He was by her side,
And in death He sent His guardian angel
Safely her spirit to Heaven guide.
Ethel, when the violets open
And the trees in beauty wave,
We will often wander
To our darling's grave.
And when the birds are singing
And the blossoms deck the sod,
We know your soul is sleeping
In the paradise of God.
Never to be forgotten. Gone with her
brothers.
By her sad parents.

confirms former decision that Michael j..
Brown is entitled to one half of the estate
left by his brother, Daniel W. Brown, who
died in 1901.

Brown claimed that while the title was
really in the name of his brother, it was in
fact partnership property Of himself and

death of Daniel W. Brown. The Circuit

to appoint receiver to take charge OF the
property, for dissolution and an accounting.

and directed that the property be sold, the
proceeds to be subject to further order OF
