THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is
in Preserving Health and Beauty,
Cost Nothing TO Trr-

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disfn-
fectant and purifier in nature, but few
realize its value when taken into the
human system for the same cleansing
purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; ii is not a
drug at all but simply absorbs the gases
and impurities always present in the
stomach and intestines and carries them
out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking, or after eating onions
and other Odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, It whitens the teeth, and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: if
disinfects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarTh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another. but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are
composed Of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal. and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form, or rather in the form of
large pleasant-tasting lozenges, the char
coal being mixed with honey
The daily use of these lozenges will
coon tell in a much improved condition
Of the general health, better complexion.
sweeter breath, and purer blood and the
beauty of it is that no possible harm can
result from their continued use; but on
the contrary. great benefit.
a Buffalo physician, in speaking Of the
benefits of charcoal says: "I advise
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in stomach,a bowels
and to clear the complexion and purify
the breath. mouth. and throat; / also be-
lieve the liver is greatly benefited by
the daily use of them; they cost but 25
cents a box at drug stores, and although
in some sense a patent preparation, vet
l believe / get more and better charcoal
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than I'm
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

Annapolis. Md. Jan 2l-The disfran-
chising amendment is 10 be put through
the general assembly at the earliest pos
sible moment.
This is the programme of the party
leaders.
So far the members Of the legislature
know nothing more Of its provisions than
the newspapers have outlined. The
amendment is expected in Annapolis early
next week. As II is measure that has
been agreed upon by a committee sup
posed TO represent every phase of thought
IN the Democratic party, the senate and
house committees are not expected 10
deliberate long over its provisions.
To BE RepOrtedl Wednesday.
Unless some unforeseen obstacles
should arise the amendment viii be re-
ported in the house on Wednesday. one
day viii probably be given over 10 the
Republicans. who will line up against it
10 a man. As soon as they have had
fair opportunity To present their objec-
tions the Democrats are expected to take
up the measure and put it through.
Two-thirds OF all the members elected
10 either legislative branch must indorse
any bill 10 change the constitution OF the
State The Democrats have seventy-one
members IN tne mouse. AniS is ieuf more
than the number actually required. The
amendment is party issue and the
Z Democrats are expected to vote for it
/ soIdy.
The Democratic leaders have. II is said,
come to an agreement TO push the amend
ment, because several Of the Democratic
members have shown a disposition 10
trade on the narrow margin Of Democratic
votes ia order TO get legislation IN which
their communities are interested. This
is said % be the attitude Of some OF the
members Of the Baltimore delegation. In
order 90 prevent any complications OF this
kind, the measure is 10 be got out Of
the way ar tho earliest possible moment.
The Democrats have an even tWo-thirds
majority IN the senate and Mr. Green
well. Of st. Mary. will vote with them
on a satisfactory disfranchslng measure.
In this branch. however. is a strong dis
position 10 carefully scrutinize matters
OF party policy. As IL Is in the power of
one or two men 10 force concessions. the
real troubles of the amendment. if it is
70 have any. viii be encountered when

Alexandria Va, Jan. 2i-Efforts TO 10
cate the whereabouts of Miss Delilah f..
Watkins. the nineteen-year-old stenog-
rapher. who disappeared from her
mothers home. Mrs. Laura II. Watkins,
5G5 North Columbus street, Monday night
have. up to the present time. proved bar
ren of results. Notwithstanding the fact
that the police of over dozen large
cities have been notified to apprehend the
missing young lady. The mystery grows
deeper every hour. and her mother is
almost crazed from grief over the affair.
The family of the missing young lady
felt almost certain that some tidngs
would be received concerning her where
abouts to-day
Mr. A Powell Brookes, of 7Ol Prince
street, this city. about twenty-eight years
Of age, by whom the young lady was en-
ployed. has not been seen in this city
since Monday last. he also having appar-
emily left al the time Miss Watkins did.
BY some il is believed that the couple
eloped For the past three months Miss
Watkins worked at the Washington Of
fee Of Mr.. BrOokes. "a grain and -four
broker. 1t is said, however, that Mr..
Brookes did not go with Miss Watkins.
and in the event they did elope 1t Is
thought that they formulated their plans
very hurriedly It was reported in this
city to-day that Mr.. BrOOkes was seen
alone in Philadelphia last Tuesday.
The family Of Miss Watkins believe that
something dreadful has happened To the
young lady II is pointed cut by them
that she was a fond and affectionate
daughter, and even had she eloped, as
some OF her friends believe. she would
have written OF telegraphed 20 her moth
er concerning the facts in the case. Her
people believe il very ominous that no
tiding has been received from her.
Interest in the search for the young
lady Is by no means abated, and while
the police in many large cities are en-
gagged in the search. numerous private
detectives are making efforts 10 locate the
missing young lady and the last move
ments of both of the parties are being
followed very closely.
According 10 reports received here. the
couple was seen together Monday after
noon last I'm front Of the Hotel Raleigh
Washington. II is said that afterward
they were seen departing from the hotel
and each had a satchel i'm their hand
and from that point they took carriage
That was the last seen OF the couple. and
while il is not dennitely known il is be-
lieved they left for the Union Passenger

CONVICT BRINGS NOVEL SUIT.
Wants $4,000 Damages for Work
ing More Than Eight Hours.

White Plains. n. j.. Jan. 24-One OF
the most novel suits ever tried In West
chester County, if not in the State was
that of John n Rohr former inmate
of Sing Sing prison, who sued Cornelius
n Collins, as superintendent of prisons,
before Justice Keough, at White Plains
for $4,000 damages because he was forced
to work more than eight hours a day,
and which was concluded to-day. The
jury, after celebrating for some time,
disagreed.
Through his lawyers Rohr contended
that the law permits the working Of the
men in prison only eight hours a day.
The statute makes the officials Of the
prison liable in case they compel pris-
oners TO work overtime
Former Warden Addison Johnson was
one OF the witnesses for Mr.. Collins. and
he denied that he compelled ROhr TO work
more than eight hours, and added that
the plaintiff asked to be put on the extra
work list, so as to escape confinement in
his cell at night as we'll as on Sundays.
