in Usual Performance of His Duties.
John Jeter Crutchfield. Judge of the
destinies of the population of Rich
mond, Police Justice since 1883, passed
his sixty sixth milestone yesterday in
the regular performance of his duties
He didn't appear any older than on
September 20. 1903, and it is likely
that he will not look older one year
hence. His locks are like the snow
and his brow is bald. but his brain is az
active as ever Many have cause to
wish TO forget him; many to regret
him; but a hundred times as-many will
remember him for the kindly spirit
spirit which has dominated him in
netting out justice and mercy, for in
Justice Crutchied's private statute
book justice and mercy are writ to-
gether in the pages.
AS he expressed II, he is sixty-six
years young. and in him the we'll spring
of youth is not yet dry. Many con-
graduated him, and wished him a long
and pleasant journey to the foot Of the
,shadowy hills.

erence to the condition of Chief of
N. c., who was brought to Richmond

effects of serious gunshot wound

cal condition, and chances for recovery
appear TO be against him. Although
no operation was performed yesterday.

nation of the wound, which only added
to the first fears as to the chiefs
! condition The examination disclosed
that the officer was shot from the side
the part of the load which was not
detected by his badge entering the
stomach. The gun with which Chief
Stallings was wounded was loaded
with double shot, which are smaller
than buckshot, and several of these

CONFECTIONERY
RETURN REVOLVER
Seized 1t When Guard Dropped
1t in Scuffle and Restored
1t to Owner.

Two convicts in the State Peniten-
tiary received high marks of approval
and commentator yesterday when
they seized a revolver which Guard
Payne had dropped in the work shop
while trying to deal with an unruiy
prisoner. The unruly one was pun
ished.
AT o'clock, when the work of the
hay sconcluded. the prisoners are
permitted to return to their cells. Yes
terday a negro convict was sitting d.
rectly in the way of the marching
line. Payne ordered him TO move, but
he refused. and while endeavorlng to
enforce discipline Payne's revolver
either slipped from his hip pocket or
was dropped while he was about to
scuffle with the prisoner. At all events.
ii hit the floor and instantly two ne
groes fell upon it, got it beyond reach
of harm and quickly restored 1t to
Payne. The thing was over In a mo-
naent without creating any excitement.
When the facts We're reported to
Superintendent Wood he made a
thorough investigation and satisfied
himself that the prisoners who aided
the guard were entitled to clean mark s
which would help to shorten their
terms. On many occasions prisoners
heretofore proved that they could be
trusted, and when they realized that
7 they We're properly rewarded they have
been anxious to offer assistance when
ever 1t might be required. Sueprinten-
dent Wood has found as a whole. how
ever, that his prisoners are not In
cltned to make trouble and the general
deportmeKt has" been excellent. oc-

made by feeding the pomace to dairy

it seems probable that four pounds.

to feed too large amounts at 1lrSt.
but to begin with 10 pounds daily and
to gradually increase the amount 7"

which to do it. BY this method dan

THE PAINS OF
RHEUMATISM
Caused by a Poison Which,
Produces Inflammation.
How a Pennsylvania Woman Cured
Herself by Building Up and
Purifying the Blood.

The pains of rheumatism are caused bv
= poison IN the blood setting up an in
hammatlon in the delicate membranes
that cover the joints and muscles
Inc exact cause of rheumatism is one
OF the things that the science of medicine
has not yet determined but it is a known
TACT that the seat of the trouble is in the
blood and that the disease must be com.
bated in the blood. Unless the poison is
driven out the disease will return at every
exposure to cold or dampness.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
hundreds OF cases, and are the most d.
rect treatment of rheumatism, because
they enrich the thin blood and enable it
70 throw OFT the poisons OF the disease
When this is done the rheumatism is per-
manently cured and as long as the blood
IS kept pure and rich the patient will be
immune from attacks of rheumatism.
Mrs. Charles Day, Of Tidioute, Warren
20, Pa, was crippled with rheumatism
tor several months and owes her health
to DIR. Williams Pink Pills. She saws:
y! was taken very suddenly with rheu-
matlsm which first noticed as pain in
my right knee. The pain went down to
my ankle and some times would be in
both knees, causing them toswell, and was
50 intense that | could not move without
the greatest agony. My hands were
drawn up so that they were useless and it
seemed as though every joint in my body
was affected. l was in bed nearly all
winter and was entirely helpless.
For two months | was under doc
tors care without his medicine doing me
any good. | then tried liniments and
various medicines but received no help
After four months of suffering decided
to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills and felt
much better before | had taken many
boxes | continued the treatment and
was soon able to walk around and do my
work. | feel it my duty to tell others
what DR.. Williams Pink Pills did for me-

treatment OF rheumatism send for copy
