Thk magnificent cathedral of St.

Thk appearance of the big hat at
the theatre during the past week was
not quite as annoying as it has btfen
in the past, many ladies displaying
consideration enough for those seated
behind them to remove their head

whose back hair probably would
have been "mussed," or who feared
they could not get the large collection
of feathers and ribbons on straight
without a looking glass, who kept
them on persistently.
Thk police of Heading hayo raided
a club of ono-legged men for their ex

appropriately, named the Peg-leg

of membership being that tho appli
cant wear an old fashioned wooden
leg, no new-fangled artificial limbs
being tolerated. All the members,

WHsliingtcii, Dec. at.- As it result of
the i-me between General Miles and
General Kugnii cntieei iiimj the quality
of beef supplied the army, and on the
written ieqi.st of Gi n -ral Kagan, the
war department last ulirht b sued a spe
ihil onler fur the assembling of a board
i.f mllcem In Washington on Tuesday
next to Inqulte Into the general sub
ject of the quality of the beef sup
plies. hihI particularly as to the respon
sibility for the loss of 100 000 pounds of
refi Igeratt'd beef sent to Porto lllco
when the expedition under General
Miles was iheie.
The .100,000 pounds of beef referred to
was shipped from Newport News to
Porto lilco about the time that word
came from General Miles that he had
supplied himself with fresh beef taken
on' the Island. The refrigerated beef
made the trip to l'orto Hlco and back
but by the time It reached Montnuk
Point It Is understood to have been
spoiled, owing to the delay and' conse
quent lack of refrigerating material.
General Kagan yesterday received
from Lieutenant Colonel Smith, the
eiMiunlssary olllccr nt Chicago, a reiwt
mailt' by Aimoiir ,i Co., who furnished
the army with a large part of its tin
ned beef. The report is In part as fol
lows: "Our system of preparing and putting
up our roast and corned beef Is by
the Appert process, which was Invented
In 1S09. This Is a process that has been
well known to scientific Inquiry for th
entire jierlod since the date of Its In
vention. Nothing has been discovered
that produces superior results, and it
would be dllllcull for any Invention to
supercede that of Appert, Inasmuch as
there never has been any complaint or
deterioration of the contents of cans
put up by this process.
"We have been putting up and sell
ing tinned roast and corned beef for
the past 25 years, and have been sup
plying consumers of food products for
this entire period. The use of this
description of goods is annually In
creasing. It may be said that they are
used by all classes of people and are
considered a strictly staple article of
food, and handled ns such by the trade.
We have put up during the past 20 or
25 years In the neighborhood of 200.000.
000 pounds, or an average of about 10,
000,000 per annum.
"Neither the meat furnished by us to
your department nor that supplied by
us for consumption In almost every
state In the t'nion has never at any
time been treated by us by any chem
ical process of any kind whatsoever."
Women Should Know It.
Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their disease is
not correctly understood. They have been
led lo believe that womb trouble or female
weakness of some sort is responsible for the
many ills that beset womankiud.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy
or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism, a
dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weak
ness or bearing-down sensation, profuse or
scanty supply of urine with strong odor,
frequent desire to pass it wilh scalding or
burning sensation, sediment in it after stand
ing in bottle or common glass for twenty-four
hours, are signs of kidney anil bladder trouble.
The above symptoms arc often attributed
by the patient herself or by her physician (o
female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so
many fail to obtain relief, because they are
treating, not the disease itself, but a reflection
of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are made
miserable with kidney and bladder Irouble
and both need the same remedy.'
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is the great dis
covery of the eminent kidney and bladder
specialist, and is easy to get at any drug store
for fifty cents or one dollar.

Colon, Colombia, Dec. 31. Tho local
press, referring to the report that the
Italian second class; cruiser Fleramosca,
under command of Ammlragllo de
Rrochettl, hns bfon ordered to Col
ombian waters to demand satisfaction
for aliened recent Insults offered to
Italian naval officers, says that Co
lombia "should ur L with dignity, pru
dence and forbeina.nce, so as to attract
the attention of the nations of the
world to the repeated display of might
versus right."
The "Insults" of which the Italian
government is said to complain grew
Indirectly out of tho Cerrutl affair.
Last summer, when the Italian squad
ron went to Colombian waters to en
force Presldont Clerveland's award, It
made a diversion Into Venezuelan wa
ters, and the Venezuela;! government'
confeired certain honors nnd decora-.'
thins upon the olflfors of the squad
ron. Several Colombian deputies upon
whom Venezuela had bestowed the sumo
decorations returned them to Vene
zuela, with the statement that they
considered tliem a disgrace to wear
decorations which had been bestowed
upon Itnllnns. The Italian govern
ment called upon the Colombia gov
ernment to disavow tho act of tho
deputies, but the Colombian executive
declined. It wus announced a few
nights avto from Rome that the Flera

"1 am not In the dealing business. I

that Senntnr CJuny. to secure your sup
port i romlred to resign the senator
ship before his new term expires and
turn the olllce over to you,"
"So. h statements are utterly with

do not believe It Is within the power
of nny man tn bequeath the United

sides. It Is only natural that Senator
Quay should like the United States
pcnntorshlp too well, and the power ani

over to me or nny one else."
"Another report was that In return
for vour support yon were to get any
personal legislation you desired at Har-

"That report Is Just as false as the
others," said Mr. Magee. "I do not

THE DEATH OF ROMERO.
It Will Not Interfere! With tint Pres
ident's Now Year's ltccoptlou.
Washington, Dec. 31. Ambassador
"Romero, of Mexico, died yesterday as
the result of an operation for appendi
citis. He was 62 years old. The re
mains will be taken to Mexico for In
terment. The president sent a telegram
of condolence to the Mexican govern
ment. The president and cabinet will
attend the funeral services tomorrow
afternoon.
Secretary Hay expressed the sincere
feeling of regret which not only official
people, but all Washington people feel
In the death of the Mexican ambassa
dor. "His residence here for 40 years,
Secretary Hny said, "with very brief
Intervals of absence, forms the longest
continuous length of service ever at
tained by a foreign diplomat In this
country, and his elevation and dignity
of character, his uniform courtesy to
all with whom he was brought in con
tact, his sincerity and straightforward
ness endeared him to everybody. He
leaves a hard place to fill In the official
life of the Capitol."
The question having arisen as to the
propriety of abandoning the president's
New Year s reception on account or
the ambassador's death, Assistant Sec
retary Hill visited the Hrltlsh ambas
sador, the German ambassador and
other representative members of the
diplomatic corps for the purpose of
-ascertaining their views on the sub
ject. The concensus of opinion was
that, Inasmuch as the obsequies of the
deceased diplomat will take place on
Sunday there was no occasion for any,
lnterference with the official program
arranged for the following day.

Thousands of ladies are using Brazil
ian Balm. For soreness, pain, bearing
down aud many kinds of trouble, it acts
like a charm. A 50 cent or dollar bottle
ofteu does more cood in one week than
any other remedy does in months. It
goes right to the spot, removing nil in
flnmnmtimi. Mrs. Geo. W. Roberts, of
Wilmington. Del., says, "A strong solu
tion of Brazilian llalm and warm water
used as nn injection has doue me more
good than all the remedies and prescrip
tions 1 ever inea."
