but one sore and his ears looked as If
they were going to fall off, SO we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby never getting any better. His

and the poor little fellow suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months we tried

gone and in two months he had clear
face. Now he is two years and has

ARMY TUG LOSES WHEEL.
Cushing Has Accident as She Turns
Into Her Dock.

The United States army tug Lieut..
Alonzo. Cushing. in service between this
city and Fort Washington. lost her pro-
peller wheel yesterday afternoon, just
as she was coming into her dock in this
city.
When. Capt. Davis rang his backing
signal the steamer would not back. Her
Roadway in the dock was only checked by
shoal water. which caught her up and
prevented her from running into heavy
brick seawall
The tug came up the river all right, and
was slowed down as usual to enter the
dock at the foot Of K street. 1t is thought
by the officers Of the tug that she lost her
wheel at this point.
That the wheel was gone was not
known until the engineer. in response to
the signals from the house, attempted to
back the engine. 1t raced, showing there
was no resistance from the wheel.
The vessel. after her Roadway was
checked. was worked back into deep water
by her crew. using her wipdiass. 1t is not
thought she was at all damaged. She
will be taken to Alexandria and hauled
out on a marine railway for repairs.
The army authorities have an extra
wheel for the boat at Fort Washington.
This will be brought to Alexandria to be
put on the tug
In consequence of the accident. the
Gushing will be out Of service for several
days.

SMALL REBATE DEMANDED.
Government Employe Finds he Paid
Too Much for Travel.

few days ago when George Ducas.
employed by the Navy Department,
walked up to the ticket window Of the
New York. Chicago and st. Louis Rail-
road Company. in Cleveland. and bought
ticket to New York for ST., the
farthest thought from the ticket agents
mind was that the transaction would get
the road in trouble.
1t did. however. and involved the Della
ware Lackawanna and Western along
with it.
Mr.. Ducas spent some time en- route
studying up old passenger rates. and
found that a year ago rate had been
established by the n. Y. c. and St. l..
r. r. Of 1855 for a trip from Cleveland
and Buffalo. and that the D.. l.. and W.,
over which the former road ships its pas
sengers eastward. charges IS from Buff
falo to New York, making total of
sI1 81. whereas the combined fare was $l2.
Therefore. since the Navy Department
was paying for Mr.. Ducas' trip, the in
terstate commerce commission has been
asked to get back for the government the
extra 35 cents and to prohibit the roads
from any more extortion Of like nature.
