STEAM BARGE TO DEPART.
Lily and Howard to Leave for Balti-
more En- Route to New York.

The steam barge Lily and Howard, the
only craft of her kind on the Potomac,
will leave today for Baltimore, en- route to
future.
The vessel was sold about three weeks
ago by Carter & Clark of this city 10
Ernest Rudolph of New York and since
that time she has been lying here having
her boiler and machinery overhauled and
being painted from stem to stern.
This work was completed Wednesday,
and the boiler was filled with water. Yes
terday she was inspected by the steam
boat inspectors. and everything aboard
her was found up to the standard required
by the inspection regulations.
The steamer was ordered hauled out by
the inspectors that they could look at
her hull under water. This will be done
when she reaches Baltimore.
Capt. Frank Nickerson of New York will
have charge of the steamer on her trip
north. Chief Engineer Ricketts, will be in
charge of the engine room.
She will carry crew of five men on
deck and in the fireroom. Capt James
Eldridge of New York will make the trip
to New York aboard her, the guest OF
Capt. NickersOn.
From this city to Philadelphia the trip
will be made by the inland waterways
but from the Delaware to New York she
will have to go outside, as the Delaware
and Raritan canal is closed. AS was
stated. the Lily and Howard will be used
as a water and fuel supplying boat to
the large fleet of steam yachts and other
vessels lying along the Hudson in the
vicinity of New York city.

MORMON ELDERS EXPELLED.
Quit Central City to Escape Duck
ing in Ohio River.

CENTRAL CITY, w. Va. January 10
dozen representative citizens of this
place, presumably acting under authority
from various secret organizations, visited
Hotel Central here, where five Mormon
elders have been making their headquar-
tiers for the past two months, and request
ed these divines to leave the city before
daylight yesterday. The Mormon elders
packed their belongings and walked to
Huntington, a distance of four miles, in a
binding sleet and snowstorm.
Three or four days ago these MormOns,
who had quarters at various places about
town, were notified by a society to leave
before the close of the present week. In
stead of leaving they centered their quar-
tiers at the Hotel Central, where they
hoped to have protection, but after the
visit of last nights committee they left
Immediately.
1t is understood that arrangements had
been made by the society to tar and
feather the elders and then throw them
into the Ohio river. 1t was this antici-
pated action that caused the representa-
tive citizens to cali on the Mormons at
midnight and demand their departure
Central City for some time past had been
headquarters for Mormons in the state
and more than thirty elders sent here are
now working in the mountain districts in
the southern section of the state.

Another proposition which has already
been introduced in the legislature de-
clares void all trades made upon margi-
nal basis, but if that became a law, the
lawyers say, it would prevent the pur-

loses in a speculation need not pay his
losses unless he chooses to do So and
fOrbidS the courts to take jurisdiction OF
!! suits to recover or enforce payment for
money that is lost in speculation.
Several similar propositions have been
invented and introduced bills at the
legislature in Albany, but none of them
will receive any serious consideration and
nothing will be done until the commission
appointed by Gov. Hughes has made It's
report. That commission may decide to
draft a bill to regulate transactions upon
the various exchanges, with view to re-
stricting speculation, and whatever 1T may
recommend will receive great deal of
support

Laughter, Digestion
and Health

An eminent Russian physician has stated his
opinion that laughter is one of the best means
known to science for the correction of Dyspepsia,
stomach and nervous diseases.
Laughter, however in dyspeptic is like the
memory of running brooks and shady glens to
the furnishing and dying lost in the desert.
IL one could but know all the causes. reasons
and origins OF Dyspepsia would not won
der at half-heartedness OF dyspeptics gaiety.
There is ceaseless call for appetite, food
and enjoyment to dyspeptic, coupled with q
morose, moody belief and knowledge that such
call is mockery and if INDUCED in will bring
discomfort, pain and regret.
Perhaps IL il understood that the diges-
tive system, including mouth, throat and ALI
mentary canal, embracing it does the stom-
ach, is composed of membraneous tissue filled
with millions of small nerves, which cont-ol
added millions of little mouths suckers Per-
haps if this known could more COM
prehensivey understand that to disarrange such
system would indeed intense physical

Now suppose that this alimentary canal is q

the fumes and foul odors and decayed food from

FROM 10 10 ~ per cent of these trans
actions have been pure speculation, al
though it is not possible to give the ex-
act proportion.
Various plans have been proposed to
discourage and prevent speculation, and
they are generally based upon devices to
make it Improbable. There Is already a
tax imposed by the state upon every
transaction, by which $3.907.373 was add
ed to the treasury last year. but that has
not been effective in any way, because 1t
does not make the slightest difference to
a Spectator whether he is rquired to pay
| one-fourth of 1 per cent or 5 per
cent to the state for the privilege of spec
ulating. while any increase of the tax
would be an injustice to millions and mil
lions of investors who cannot buy or sell
securities In any other way.
One of the plans proposed is to declare
illegal all purchases and sales of stock
or bonds, cotton, coffee, grain and other
commodities and securities unless there is
an actual transfer of the articles bought

Submits Maps and Charts.

Il have before me maps, charts and
report of that commission, and l report
two bills, to be sent to the committee on
appropriations. l ask that the maps and
charts be printed as part of the re-
port
Il think not only the members of the
Senate, but all the citizens of the District
of Columbia will be greatly interested in
the maps and in the report. The commits
sion has found that there is a great deal
of property in the District of Columbia
occupied by people who apparently have
no title, and great deal of it where the
title is under a cloud. The bills provide
for an appropriation to make further in
vestigatons as to the title the govern
ment has in large amount of property
in the District OF Columbia.
I'm this connection I wish to state
what probably all senator's know, that
where the general wholesale and city
markets are now situated, between 9TH
and 9th streets. the lands belong to the
government. The expenditure of a few
thousand dollars would purchase all these
temporary structures and free this site
for public buildings; for l take it there is
no intention of permitting such valuable
site to be long used for such purposes.
