RAPIDLY TANNING
Mass Meeting Quiet
as Church Mouse.
IGNORED BY TOWN COUNCIL
John A. Garrett Puts in Appear
ance. but Quickly Departs when
to Relieve Drought-Amuseme
Park to Ignore "Blue Laws"

The Glen Echo squabble proceeded
merrily Just like a Central American
comic opera war last night, when Mayor
whkowskis mass meeting practically
went down on bended knees before the
town, council and begged for water.
Thet meeting was as quiet as a church
mouse! 1t was ignored by the Garrett
faction, although John A. Garrett made
a statuesque entrance just before ad-
journment. He departed abruptly, just
as Mayor Witkowsh put motion to the
effect that. the council be requested to
relieve the drought Immediately, by a
bond issue if necessary.
No Action Taken.
The report of the army engineers who
inspected the water difficulty at Glen
Echo last week was placed before the
meeting by the mayor. The recommen-
dation Of Capt. w. E. Hannum that
new source of supply be gained from
Cabin John run, Just west of the town
limits, was given extended consideration,
but no action was taken, although the
citizens seemed to think II was the best
temporary relief measure that had been
devised. 1t would not cost the village
more than s1,ooO at the utmost.
There was an attempt to hold council
meeting at S:SO o CLOCK, Dut as no meIn-
her Of that honored body put in an ap-
pearance, Mayor Witkowsh gave 1t up
as a bad job. 1t is probable the council
will ignore the mass meeting entirely,
although there seems to be no question
tnat the bulk of the citizenship of Glen
Echo is in sympathy with the mayors
hope Of gaining relief from the water
famine as soon as possible
District Man Involved.
Another humorous feature Of the fac
tional fight has developed over the status
of Philip E. Darling, Of this city, whom
Mayor Witkowski has sworn in as a
deputy marshal. Constable Walter Shaw
is on his trail and says he will arrest
him whenever he attempts ito imper-
senate an officer" Mr.. Darling is quite
confident he is a deputy marshal and a
clash seems to be imminent.
The Glen Echo Amusement Company
declares it will ignore the blue laws
of Maryland next Sunday. Manager L.
2. Schloss has issued the following
statement:
The public is respectfully informed
that Glen Echo Park will be open next
Sunday, the same as it has been every
Sunday since the start of the season,
with the exception of July 30. I wish to
emphasize that Glen Echo will be open
to the public, despite all statements to
the contrary, no matter what source
they emanate from"

QUEER DISEASES
IN UNITED STATES
Many Were Afflicted with Odd ALL
ment, Says Prof.
Munyon.
Grewsome Creatures Very Common,
Finds Expert.

Many people in the United States are
afflicted with a queer disease, according
10 q statement yesterday by Prof James
NJ. MunyOn. He made the following re-
n:arkable and rather grewsome state
ment:
Many persons who come and write
to my headquarters at SD and jefferson
SITS, Philadelphia, Pa, think they are
suffering from a simple stomach trouble
when in reality they are the victims of
an entirely different disease-that of tape
worm. These tape worms are huge in
ternal parasites, which locate in the up
per bowel and consume a large percent
age of the nutriment in undigested food
They sometimes grow to a length of
forty to sixty feet. One may have a
tape worm for years and never know the
cause of his or her i'll health.
Persons who are suffering from one
of these creatures become nervous, weak,
and irritable, and tire at the least ex-
ertion. The tape worms rob one of am
bltion and vitality and strength, but
they are rarely fatal
The victim of this disease is apt to
believe that he is suffering from chronic
stomach trouble, and doctors for years
the physicians he consults, for there is
no absolute diagnosis that will tell posi-
lively that one is not victim of tape
worm.
trouble is an abnormal appetite At times
the person is ravenously hungry and can
not get enough to eat. At other times
the very sight OF food is loathsome
There is a gnawing, faint sensation at
the pit Of the stomach, and the victim
has headaches, fits of dizziness and
nausea. He cannot sleep at night and
often thinks that he Is suffering from
nervous prostration.
Il have a treatment which has had
wonderful success in eliminating these
great creatures from the system. In one
course OF Its regular action in aiding d.
gestion and ridding the blood, kidneys.
and liver of impurities II has proven
fatal TO these great worms. II one has
a tape worm this treatment will in nine
cases out OF ten stupefy .and pass II
away, but IL not the treatment will re-
build the rundown person, who Is prob-
ably suffering from stomach trouble and
q general anaemic condition. Fully a
dozen persons have passed these worms
but they are naturally reticent about dis.
cussiug them, and of course we cannot
violate their confidence by giving their
names TO the public"

GENERALS SPOUSE
RETAINS HER LOVE
Mrs. Sickles. Jealous of His
Attention to Princess.
spec,al to The Washington Herald

Special 10 TDe
New York, July 31.-When the case OF
"Eda Sickles Crackenthorpe VS.. Daniel
E Sickles'' comes up for argument in
the Supreme Court on Wednesday. 1t Is
possible that much light will be cast
upon the curious estrangement that has
existed for so long between the pic
turesque old warrior and his family.
Nine. Lopez, a friend Of Mrs. Sickles
says that Mrs Sickles is still madly in
love with her aged and infirm husband.
"She objects to the generals being
seen in the company of any other wom-
an, even his secretaries and servants.
said Mime. Lopez, with a shrug Of the
shoulders. Mrs. Sickfes and Mrs.
Crackenthorpe learned that the general
had had his picture painted by the
Princess Lwoff Parlaghy, and was re-
ported to have paid her $4,000 for the
painting. That made them angry. as
did also the instance OF the ioness cub" :"
The incident referred to occurred on
April II last when the general celebrated
the fiftieth anniversary of his going 10

princess. He purchased the cub for

Word has reached Washington that
Bishop Luther B. Wilson, of the Metho-

After his election as bishop seven years
