WRIGHT IN SHORT FLIGHT.

Eight and a half minutes in the air

siberian whale in hy time. and did not
let up until the shadows were lying along
about the edges of College, Park.
When the thermometer. after flirting
around its spindle all day to the time
OF an eighteen mile-an-hous wind slowed
down and showed a velocity of about five
miles. the biplane was wheeled out and
taken to the monorail. which was moved
TO accommodate the direction of the
breeze. The machine was shot off at
5:2s o'clock. with Mr.. Wright handling
both levers and Lieut. Humphreys sitting
beside him as an interested, but chilly.

An Attractive Float.
One Of the best floats was that OF the
theatrical stage employees. who had a
huge edifce representing a stage pros
cenium with the curtain down. On 1t was
the legend:

employees of the United States and Can
ada
On the panel below the footlights was
painted the insignia Of the order. The
float was painted by J. L. Duffy, a local
scenic artist
The electrical workers brought UP the
rear with a sightseeing car and two small
coaches. They were separated from the
main line OF the parade owing to a DELAY
in starting. Their action in Joining In
the welcome TO President Gompers is
significant. because only recently their
affiliation with the American Federation
Of Labor was severed. II is explained
however, that no III will exists between
the organizations and the electrical work

The parade broke I'D at the doors of

crush almost equaled that in Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Fifteenth street an

Nervous Dyspepsia
And keurasthenia
Weakness of the Nervous System
Often Dependent Upon Long
continued Indigestion.

Neurastbenia, also known as nervous
exhaustion, nervous debility" and
nervous prostration, is disease. which
in these modern, strenuous times is be-
coming more and more prevalent. 1t is a
condition in which there Is more or less
marked and persistent loss OF energy. to-
gether with considerable irritability.
Persons who suffer from this trouble are
easily excited and irritated. cannot do as
much work as formerly. and In attempt
ing any mental effort. quickly become
confused. and are unable to concentrate
the attention. They also complain of in
somnia, nervous indigestion, depression OF
spirits and palpitation OF the heart
There IS n general muscular weakness;
the person cannot walk very far. and tires
quickly on attempting physical eXertiOn.
There is ringing in the ears; blurring Of
eyesight: headache and vertigo; specks
floating before the eyes, and a general
restiessness The ability tC sustain pro-
longed intellectual effort Is interfered
with. and the patient imagines he is
losing his memory
Neurasthenics continually watch for new
symptoms. unCOnSCiOusly eXagEerate the
old ones. attaching undue Importance 10
them. Causeless fear is often suffered
from, a dread Of some impending danger;
extreme pessimism; dark forebodings and
hysteria. Sleep is not refreshing and the
person feels much more tired in the morn
ing than al night. Horrible dreams and
nightmare are usually complained OF.
But by far the most prominent nantes
tation of Neurasthenia Is Nervous
Dyspepsia In nearly every case thIs
disturbance OF the stomach dominates the
complaint. Cause and effect may be
Jransposed. and dyspepsia may be the re-
suit OF Neurasthenia. but Oftener indi-
gestion Is the original cause OF the ner-
V0us condition. The nerves are simply
starved" because the stomach does not
digest the food properly and as the
nerves are dependent upon the food which
the blood absorbs from the stomach for
their sustenance, any deprivation thereof
Is sure 20 cause nerve weakness.
The use Of nerve tonics" in this condl-
ton is a mistake; they merely stimulate
but do not rebuild nerve tissue Com
pletely digested food Is the only true
nerve builder and strengthened: and in
thu treatment Of nervous exhaustion. one
should first cure the nervous dyspepsia
which Is usually the origin Of the trouble
by taking STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TAR
LET'S In doses Of one or two after each
meal. or whenever needed. and the long
train OF nervous symptoms will be cured
along with the nervous dyspepsia.
This celebrated remedy is without n
peer In the treatment Of nervous indiges-
ton. and. in fact. indigestion Of any kind

haustion Is gotten rid Of.

HIS appearance along the line OF march

The parade swept into Fifteenth street,
and passed in review before President
Gompers at the Riggs House. A consid-

officers accompanied the party 70 the

From Fifteenth street the procession

public that the hall was packed, there

we offered New York inducements that

Now that we don't want Elberfield,
we can get him at pretty much our

kstehsI and Kaufman.

There is no other white boxer now
in sight who seems likely to develop
sufficiently to win back the title from
the negro. Stanley Ketchel, the mid
dleweight champion, who is taking
things easy In order to take on weight
so he can enter the heavyweight class.
is the most promising. but he lacks
boxing skill as well as the required
weight to tackle fighter of the John
son stamp. Stanley is rugged fighter
and has a punch that makes him al
ways dangerous, but he is not n
master OF the art of self defense. It
would take several years of careful
training and much experience to make
a champion fighter of Ketchel. II he
is sincere in his desire to become the
champion he will place himself in the
hands Of some one capable OF develop
ing him. .....
Al Kaufman, the California heavy
weight, has the size and weight and is
in the hands of the man who brought
out Jeffries, but Billy Delaney finds
al a different sort of pupil than JEFF
was-slower to grasp the possibilities
of the hit-and- getaway game and
more likely to go up into the air under
fire
