Charcoal the
Great Absorbent
Absorbs and Removes Stomach
and Intestinal Gases and
Makes the Breath Pure.

The able researches OF DIR. Stenbouse. pub
lished about the middle OF the last century. ex-
cited considerable interest in charcoal and its
wonderful absorbing powers. His experiments
were directed to the deodorizing, as well rs the
absorbing qualities Of charcoal, and he succeeded
IN proving beyond all question Of doubt that its
properties Of destroying the Offensive odors OF
putrid vegetable and animal matter depended,
not alone upon its antiseptic power. as had been
generally supposed heretofore, but also on Its
quality OF absorbing and oxidizing efduvia or nox-
ious calculations from the putrefying matters.
Many other noted physicians have since that
time investigated this absorbent and oxidizinG
action. and one OF them, Dr. Hunter. has also
published account Of his experiments, show
ing the relative amount OF the various gases
taken up by the different kinds Of charcoal.
Both Stenhouse and Hunter experimental with
charcoal made from poplar. boxwOod cocosnut
shells, willow wood and various other woods, and
they found that charcoal made from willow wood
possessed by far the most power Of absorbing
deodorizing. oxidizing and destroying foul gases.
IL may be added here that animal charcoal
which Is employed extensively q decolor-
izng agent, Is very inferior TO wood charcoal as
an absorbent and deodorant.
Stuart's Charcoal Iozenges are composed OF
charcoal made from the finest willow wood, the
very best OF all woods that be used for this
purpose. The addition OF pure honey to these
lozenges renders them pslstsb!e that no one
can possibly object TO their taste
When they taken into the stomach they do
not lie inert and inactive. but get busy at once
in the good work Of absorbing and oxidizing all
foul gases. destroying disease germs. preventing
the further formation Of gases. stopping fer.

and cleansing the stomach walls OF catarrhal

GOOD SUPPLY OF OYSTERS.
Cold Weather Has Enlivening Ell
feet on the Market.

The colder weather has had an eniiv-
en,ng effect on the oyster market at the
l1th street wharf. and yesterday it was
crowded all day with buyers. and wagons
were kept busy taking on loads of the BIZ
valves for the uptown dealers. The sup
ply on sale at the wharf. while ample
to meet the demand. is by no means
large, and this. combined with the cooler
weather, has sent prices up. Oysters
that in the first of the week could have
been bought at 80 cents per bushel are
now selling at 10 cents, and the best
GRADES, instead Of selling at 90 cents and
10 cents per bushel, are now held at 81
per bushel. and find reader sale now than
they did at the lower price few days
ago.
The supply on the oyster beds at the
lower end Of the river rs large. and both
tongers and dredsers are making good
catches each day. The quality of the Po-
tomac oyster keeps up to a high standard.
and oysters from the Potomac beds are
being shipped to Norfolk, the home of
the bay oyster. and 10 the big markets in

BURNED SKELETON N ATTIC
MYSTERIOUS FIND IN OLD IN
SANE ASYLUM.
Bones There Of Woman Who Prob
ably Perished Trying to
Escape Years Ago.

NEW YORK, November 20-Wilkie Col
Inns never wrote a piece OF fiction more
uncanny than the facts revealed by the
finding OF the charred skeleton of a wom-
an In the attic Of an abandoned fneane
asylum in Newark.
The bones were found Thursday by
Harland Mearns, one Of two watchmen
left in charge of the old asylum on South
Orange avenue when the institution vas
moved to new quarters In Overlook last
August. Yesterday the hospital and Essex
county authorities tried to ind some solu-
ton OF the mystery, and IL was not until
the records OF the asylum Tor the last
thirty years had been searched In vain Tor
the trace OF a missing patient that the
fact Of the discovery was made public.
Thought to Have Been Inmats.
That the woman was an inmate Of the
asylum is about the only fact established.
That 10 based on burned fragments Of the
womaH's shoes. which were Of the type
worn by Essex county's insane patients
OF all the many theories advanced. rang
ing from murder down. the most reason
able seems to be that the woman was try
ing to escape, perhaps two years ago. per
haps forty. and in lighting a match to
show herself the way under the rsfters IN
the dark she set fire to her clothing and
was burned to death. Only the bones.
fragments Of the clothing and the sole
and part OF the upper OF each shoe were
left.
The rafters were charred for a foot or
more about the skeleton. and near il lay
a burned match.
Can Find No Record.
County Physician Mckenzie went 70
Overlook to consult with DR.. Daniel NJ.
Dill, who has been superintendent Of the
asylum since 1901. Together they went
over the card catalogue Of patients for
the last eight years. and found every one
accounted for. That covered the Dill adj
ministration. Then they went back to
1850. through the twenty years Of DR.. L.
S. Hinckley's administration. but found
no entry concerning missing patient
Dr. Hinckley could recall nothing that
would throw light on the mystery.
Attendants in the service Of the asylum
for many years are sure there never was
a fire In the old building that called for an
alarm.

OPIUM DENS RAIDED
BY POLICE OFFICERS
Quantity of Poppy Essence Is Seized and
Keepers Are Jailed---One Now Under
Suspended Sentence.

Two opium joints were raided last
night by Detective Apana. AS re-
suit, Lee Chez Man, who conducts a
drug store on King street near Liliha,
and Ako, whose place is on King street
opposite Desha lane, are facing serious
charges, and the police department is
IN possession of a considerable guam
tity of smoking opium.
Apana has had his eye on the two
places for some time, and has been
awaiting favorable time to make a
raid. Last night things looked pro-
pitious, and he descended upon Lee

about 7:45 that the Chinese detective
made his raid, and he was rewarded by
the discovery of tin and half of
opium, part of it in bulk and part of it
apportloned into smoking allowances,
worth ten and twenty-five cents.
SO sudden was the descent of the Of
hcers, that the storekeeper was taken
quite by surprise, and he had no OPP
portunity to dispose of any of the
poppy essence. The drug was seized as
evidence. According to Apana, Lee
Chez Man has been running a smoke
joint ia connection with his drug store,
and has also sold opium to general con-
sumers.
The next joint raided was that of

Thinks American Ships

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. A.
Some big plans are under way for
more efficient and more formidable
Navy They are expected to be in full
swing within a few weeks, although
their complete execution will be a mat
ter Of a much longer time. Secretary
Meyer has been working out a pro-
gram. He wants battleships that will
bring European experts here to OBJ
serve what we are doing. He thinks the
United States ought to lead the world
in designing advanced types of fighting
ships. In recent years England has
been leading the United States. This
bears upon important policies as to
naval bases. The Secretary wants that
problem, involving navy yards, refer
red to Joint board of Army and Navy
officers for study and recommendations.
The naval bases are a very big ques-
tion, becoming more and more so with
the building of new dreadnoughts.
There is no doubt in the Secretary s
mind that several of the smaller yards
should be abandoned, for it will be
impossible to dock and repair the future
dreadnonght fleets of the United States
except at a few yards. He wants those
few yards to be fully equipped and will
ask Congress for sufficient appropTia-
lions to bring them up to a very high
standard of eff eieucy As there are
prospects of a struggle with Congress
over this matter, the Secretary is forti-
fying himself with first hand informa-
ton about the better yards and also
about the yards which apparently must
be abandoned in the course of few
years.
So he is visiting the yards and giving
them very careful inspection. On this
errand he proposes to travel farther
than any Secretary of the Navy before
him has done, at least in recent years.
He said the other day that he will go
to Honolulu, within the next twelve
months. He is greatly interested in
naval bases on the Pacific Ocean. This
includes two or three bases on the
Pacific Coast, the Pearl Harbor base,
now being constructed near Honolulu,
and a naval base in the Philippines.
The Yard at Mare Island is well
equipped but the channel can be navl-
gated only with difficulty, especially by
the warships of the larger type. There
is a good yard at Bremerton, Washing
ton. and Congress has set on foot an

invited several more of them to come

IS an opium joint pure and simple, and
the proprietor has never made any pre-
tense of running anything else. The
police entered the front hall and, turn
ing into the smoke room, found a full
layout of smokers utensils. No bulk
opium was discovered, but large guam
tity of the drug, apportioned into
''pill' allowances, was seized as evil
dence.
Lee Chez Man may find himself in
pretty serious trouble. Only ten days
ago he was allowed to go on thirteen
months suspended sentence for the
same offense, and the Judge is hardly
likely to be very lenient in the case
of the second offense. Apana insists
that a regular hop joint has been in
operation for some time. and lust as

got out of pilikia on one charge he evil

Apana has been keeping pretty close
watch on opium sellers lately, and he
has his eye on several places of doubt

been other raids is due to the fact that
the Chinese detective is determined to
make sure of getting evidence which
will result in convictions before max

and that a large amount is being sold

COLON|STS HERE
BY CHRISTMAS
First Party of immigrants viii
Sail From Europe Next
Month.

Before Christmas the first installment
of the Portuguese immigrants, got to-
gether by Special immigration Agent
A. J. Campbell, will arrive here. The
Board of immigration has received adj
vices from Campbell that he has com
pleted negotiations for the ehartering
of a ship, and that the vessel will sail
on or about October Is.
This is taken to mean that Campbell
has collected his first party of eolonists,
and that ne is only waiting for the i'm
migrants to get their belongings to
gether and for the steamship company
to get in readiness the vessel which is
to bring them here.
The voyage will be made by way of
the Horn, so there will be no transfer
ring between the time the vessel clears
from the European port and its arrival
here. This will also mean that a full
shipload will be sent instead of small
party, as was the intention when it
was believed that arrangements could
be made for bringing the people by the
way of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
It is not understood that Campbell =
negotiations with the American-Ha-
waiian and the Mexican Oriental liae
are broken off by any means, but the
delay that seemed inevitable made il
inadvisable to risk undoing the work
which Campbell and his assistants al
ready have accomplished in getting
together a party.
It is quite probable that another and
smaller party may be started west
ward in the near future, by way OF
the isthmus. Campbell is finding the
Portuguese, particularly in the Azores
much interested in the immigration
proposition, and there appears to be nc
difficulty in getting desirable colonists

curing only agriculturists, and the
