No Clue Obtained to Where

Man.

Friends Of David W Peoples, the
wealthy manufacturer of Athens, Ohio.
who mysteriousIy disappeared last
Wednesday with between 5000 and
$1,000 I'm cash i'm his possession, and
for whom a general alarm was seat out
yesterday fear more than ever today
that ne has met with foul play.
Detectives Cox and Bermau, VINO
were detailed ON the case, said this
morning that they had not obtained a
single clue that throws any light on
the mystery surrounding his where
abouts. There is every indication that
Peoples did not so away from Wash
nston voluntarily and detectives are
working on the theory that he was
lured 20 some lonely spot On Virginia
or Maryland, where ne was robbed. and
perhaps murdered
Fears Foul Play.
Israel A. Foster, prosecuting attor-
Hey OF Athens county. Ohio, a brother
iu-law of the missing man. said today
that he thinks Peoples has met with
foul play. This belief is also shared by
Robert H. Stevenson, with whom Pe0-
pies was associated i'm business.
Peoples, who had been in Washington
part Of the time for the last three
years had been stopping recently ar
the Dewey Hotel lie intended leaving
Washington for Athens last Wednesday
He mad purchased a number OF presents
for ms wife and TWO little boys. and
these articles had been carefully packed
in his suit case TO take back home.
Peoples had recently completed "a
number OF contracts iu this city, among
which was furnishing all of the hand

Collects $4,000.
Leaving the hotel Wednesday morn
Ing with about $500 iu casa in his pos
session, he started out to collect num-
Der Of bills. Before noon he had re-
ceivcd checks amounting % more than
81 Gg, which he converted into cash. He
was last seen talking TO friend at the
Union Trust Company building Fit
teeuth and II streets northwest.
The fact that Peoples could have col
lected nearly $4,000 more which was due
him. and which he intended to collect
before returning 10 Athens. strengthens
Ile police theory that he Is not remain
ing away OF his own free Will There
was nearly $4,000 due him from the
United States Government, which could
have been collected al any time

Chamber Will Not Ask With
drawal of Appeal of
Decision. =
MAY URGE PASSAGE
OF MODERN MEASURE
Macfarlands Request for Continue
ton Gives Opportunity for
an Investigation.

The Chamber Of. Commerce will not
ask the Commissioners to withdraw
the appeal on Justice KimbalrE decision
declaring the bread law of the District
to be unconstitutional At least, no &C
ton of this sort viii be taken at the
present time, as Commissioner AIacfar-
land has requested that the appeal be-
continued, which IS equivalent 10 a
temporary withdrawal OF its prosecu-
ton.
Although the committee, which was TO
have represented the chamber in petit
tiOning the Commissioners TO allow jus
tiee KinabaiTs decision to stand, has
not been appointed, il was stated today
BY Arthur c. Moses, who has been au-
thorized TO name the committee and
act as its chairman, that the Commits
sions had informally expressed them
selves as being DESTROYS OF settling the
bread law question so that it would be
entirely satisfactory to both the public
and the baker. To this end, it was de-
cided to continue the appeal in order
that the question might be thoroughly
gone into.
VIII Suggest Law.
While the Chamber of Commerce spe-
claI committee will not ask the Com
mlssioners to entirely drop the appeal,
fl will suggest a law to take the place
OF the present one. This is to be done
at the request Of the Commissioners,
which was made today. If the sugges-
tion meets with their approval, efforts
viii be made at once to repeal the old
law and institute modern legislation in
its place.
The appointment OF a committee Of
the Chamber of Commerce 10 90 into
the matter viii be made early this week,
stated Mr. Moses today. There viii be
four members on the committee, in adj
dition to himself. AS soon as a recon-
mendation can be arrived at. 1t viii be
transmitted at once to the Commits
siOners.
Must Be Flexible.
AIr. Moses stated that as bread condi-
tions we're subject to natural changes.
a flexible law would be required TO be
effective and that considerable trouble
would doubtless be mad in drawing up
a measure. which would meet all the re-
quirements. IL is believed that, i'm the
event q better law IS not suggested,
and the inability OF enforcing the pres
ent one is made apparent, the COmmis-
sioners will, of their own accord, cease
10 prosecute the appeal. and allow the
matter 20 be entirely regulated by the
pure food law and police requirements,

THE DARK 0F
 THE MOON

Many people have wondered why the part of the moon that receives no sun- light is often visible to us, the term being the "old moon In the young moons arms" The dark part Is easily seen as a copper coIOFed globe repos- ing ln the bright crescent This that we see Is nothing more or less than the earth shine ou the moon. We ap- peur the same way to the moon when we are To that phase, and our dark part is where the moonshine appears and the bright part of the sunshine.
 The reason the copper color appears is because light has to traverse the atmosphere of the earth three times once on coming from the sun to the earth, once when reflected to the moon and again on being reflected back to us. Our atmosphere possesses the peculiar property of absorbing the blue rays of this white light and al- lowing only the rcd and orange to go through, thus causing the appearance of copper color by the triple absorp- ton.
 An odd thing connected with this phenomenon. though having nothing to do with lt, Is this; That part of the moon which appears dark to US is the same part Of the earth chat appears light to the moon at my specified time, and that part of the moon which ap- pears bright to US corresponds to the portion of the earth appearing dark to the moon.
 or course lt Is well known that the moon gives out no light whatever itself the moonshlne being merely the light of the sun on the moon reflected to US. The same applies with the earth In It's shine on the moon. save that we do give out gIows, no doubt, around great cities at night, on nc. count of the enormous number of lights One thing. however. ln which moonshlur excels the earth shine Is its constant character. Where Jhe earth possesses varying clouds the old moon never has any at Gl.-St Louis Re. public

LINCOLN TAKES
 THE TREATMENT

On one of Mir. Llncoln's excursions to Fortress Monroe on the steamer Hartford In 1883 bis attention was d. rected to a narrow door bound with Iron. the use of which be was anxious to learn.
 "What Is this?' be asked.
 "Oh, that ls the sweatboL," was the reply. Tt is used for refractory and lnsubordinate seamen. A man in there is subjected to steam heat and has very little ventilation. It generally brings him to terms very quickly"
 President Llncoln's curiosity was aroused. This" be said to himself, "ls treatment to which thousands of American seamen are probably sub- jected every year. Let me try It for myself and see what 1t really is."
 Taking of his bat, for be was sever- al Inches over six feet in height, be en- tered the Inclosure. which he found to be little more than three feet In length or width. Be gave orders that at signal from himself the door should be immediately opened It was then closed and the steam turned on.
 He had been Inside hardly three min utes before the signal was given. Pres ldent Lincoln had experienced enough of what was then regarded as neces- sary punishment for American seamen. There was very little ventilation, and the short exposure to the hot and hu- mid air had almost gufiocated him.
 Turning to Secretary Welles of the navy department. the president ordered that no such inclosure as the sweatboE should ever after be allowed on any vessel flying the American hag.

PAPER MONEY
 0F ALL NATIONS

The only paper money that Is accept ed practically ull over the globe Is not "mouey" at aIl but the notes of the Bank of England These notes are simply printed in black ink on Irish linen water lined paper plain white, with ragged edges. The reason that a badly soiIed or worn Bank Of England note Is rarely seen is that notes which in any way find their way back to the bank are Immediately c0ncelcd and new ones are issued The notes of the BanQuc de France are made Of white water lined paper printed In black and white. with numerous mytbological and oUegorical pictures They are ln de nominations Of from 25 francs to 1000 francs.
 Bank oG England notes are of a somewhat unbandy slze-5 by 8 Inches. South American currency resembles the bills Of the United States, except that cinnamon brown and slate blue are the prevailing coIors German cur rency is printed In green and black, the notes being In denominations Of from 8 to 1000 marks. The 1000 mark bills are printed on silk fiber paper.
 It takes an expert or a native to dis tlngulsh a Chinese blu from a laundry ticket lf the blu is Of low denOmlna- tlon or a Grecracker label if for a large amount, the print being In red on white or yellow on red, with much gilt and gorgeous devices. Italian notes are all sizes, shapes and coIors. The smallest bills. and 10 lire, are print cd on white paper In pink, blue and carmine inks.
 The most striking paper currency in the world is the 100 ruble note of Rus sIa, which is barred from top to bot tom wIth all the colors of the rainbow blended as when a sun ray passes through a prism. In the center in bold relief Is a finely executed vignette in black. The remainder of the engrav- ing on the note Is in dark and light brown ink.

It was not an hour after this order had been given before every sailor on every ship ln Hampton Roads had heard of lt The eGect was most re- mark0blc on the older sailors, many of whom had themselves experienced the punishment of the sweatbox, Some of them wept from joy.
 But the good results of this act of President Lincoln were not confined to the American navy. Great Britain, France, Germany and other European countries heard that the sweatboX had been abolished in America as inhuman. One and all of these nations in turn fell into line, and today the sweatboX is not to be found on any vessel dying the flag O fa civilized nation through out the world.

"Our little girl was two months old when she got a rash on her face and within five days her face and head were all one sore. We used different reme- dies but it got worse instead of better and we thought she would turn blind and chat her ears would fall or. She suffered terribly, and would scratch until the blood came. At night we had to pin her hands down. This went on until she was five months old, then I had her under our family doc tors care, but she continued to grow worse. He said it was eczema. When she was seven months old l started to use Cuticura Soap, CuJicura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent, and in three weeks - what a changel l kept using the Cuticura Remedies for two months and our baby was a different girl. You could not see a sign of a sore and she was as fair as a newborn baby, and all for the small cost of a dollar and seventy five cents where we had spent ten times the money for doctoring. She is now two years old and has not had sign of the eczema since. Mrs. Fl. F. Budke, R. r. D. 4, LeSucur, Minn., Apr. l5 and May 9. 1907"
