discovered by Dir. Blosscr, who, for ovcl
thrty-live years, has been treating ca,

but lisa more direct and thorough
treatment than any of these. 1t cleans
out the head, nose, throat and lungs so
that you can again breathe freely and
sleep without that stopped-up feeling
that all catarrh sufferers have. 1t heals
the diseascdrmucous membranes and ar
rests the foul discharge, so that you will
not he constantly blowing your nose and
splitting, and at the same time it does not
poison the system and ruin the stomach,
as internal medicines do,
Ifyou want to test this treatment with-
out cost, send your address to DIR. j. w.
Blosser, 1So Walton Street, Atlanta, Ca,
and he will send you by return mail
enough OF the medicine to satisfy you
that tits all he claims for it as a remedy
for catarrh, catarrhal headaches, catar-
rhal deafness, asthma, bronchitis, colds
and all catarrhal complications, He will
also send you free an illustrated booklet.
Write him Immediately.

five DAYS.

Motion for new trial for Charles

Hastings Court and sentenced to four
Years in the penitentiary on charge
of having cocaine in his possession.
was to have been argued yesterday by
Gilbert Pollock. but the case was post
poned on account of the illness OF the
defendants lawyer.
But the most interesting part of this
story is the fact that Eddie Fields,
colored who was the chief witness
used by the Commonwealth in the
prosecutionLof the case against White.
had been detained seventy-tlve days in
Jail as a, witness, It-was mainly upon
Fields's evidence that White was con-
,Nicted. He was unable to give bond
to appear against White during the
trial. and. under the law, tho Cons
monwealth sent him to Jail merely to
hold him. lIo gave in the Hastings
Court the Same evidence he gave In
the Police Court.
White. as stated, was convicted. ana
motion for anew trial was asked for
and granted. The hearing for tho
new trial has been postponed, but
Fields Is still in Jail. and lle has asked

doesn't want to spend all his life In

ROBERT Whit IS
7 BAG IC DE I Il.
Sweet Singer Of Smith Street
Wings His Way to Hap
pier Land.

Bob White, OF II North Smith Street
neighborhood with his song OF pine
woods and stubble field, died at 4
o'clock yesterday morning, and winged
his way to the Elysian fields. where
hunters will never have sway and
where he may pipe the 1iyclong day
without alarm of shotgun or fear OF
q pointers tread.
Bob White, as the name may imply,
was a partridge, whose bestSyears had
been spent in captivity. lie was eleven
years old when he died. He was cap
tured before he could ny and was
brought to Richmond. wherct he became
tho property--and the almost sole
pleasure-of Mrs. S. F. Parkinson. Ha
piped his familiar whistle all day long.
and many man who heard him in tho
morning went hunting in the after
noon--just because of the familiar
sound. But no one ever disturbed Bob.
His cage hung Just over the window,
where hunters and pointers could not
disturb him. His owners kept good
care of him. and he had everything no
wanted, though never the call OF a
mate.
For ten years he sang alone, but in
the last few months old age began to
tell on him. and he slowly weakened
The news was conveyed about the
nelghborhood that Bob no longer sang
and that his time would soon be ended.
His deatl01vas expected, but 1t brought
grief nevertheless. And there was as
much sorrow about the end of Bob as
there would have been over the end
of a favorite pointer, a setter or q
foxhound.
His remains will be suitably inferred
to-day. So far as is known, he was
the only partridge in captivltysin Rich
mond.
