It. I could not work. I could not enjoy life. I
could walk but a little ways. I was thin, cross and
wretched. I commenced using Nervine and Resto

^0 BE SOLD AT AUCTION.
Old Department Furniture and Fit
tings to Be Disposed Of.
A committee appointed by the Secretary
of the Interior has concluded the work of
condemning a quantity of old furniture and
flttlngs in the department buildings, and
the property thus condemned will be dis
posed of at public auction within the
course of the next week or ten days. An
auction sale of condemned furniture and
fittings in the various departments is held
annualfy, and in this manner a large quan
tity of material which has ceased to be
useful in the departments is disposed of.
This year the sale at the Interior Depart
ment will not be so extensive as it has
been in years past, although a considerable
quantity of old furniture and lumber will be
placed on sale. Some of this lumber was used
in shelving in the department, some of which
accommodated the records of the land of
fice. which have recently been removed
from the patent office building to the for
mer Post Office department building across
the street. New fireproof shelves were
put up for the land office records last win
ter, and the old shelves in the patent of
fice library were replaced by modern fire
proof shelving. The lumber that was con
tained in these old record and file cases
will form a large part of the material
placed on sale.
Suicides Among Physicians.
Froai the Chicago Trltiune.
A London d.spatch to the Tribune says
that the remarkable Increase of suicides
among physicians in England is beginning
to attract attention there. The same con
ditions exist in this country, but they at
tracted attention and provoked comment
some time ago by students of sociology,
though, as far as we know, no physician
has tried to explain why suicides should
be more numerous In profession thin
in any other. The Tribune's annual roc
ords show that since 1891, or in twf.lve
years and a half, 511) physicians have com
mitted self-murder. It can hardly be said
that the number is increasing, but neither
Is it materially diminishing. The average
for this period is about 41, and this has
been exceeded six times, as follows: In
1893. 53; 1894. 45; 1895. 59; 18!W, 47; 1VJ?,
44; 1902. 42. The smallest number was 23 in
1891. The record of 20 in the first sx
months of 1903 shows that the average
probably will be maintained this year
As to the causes of this increase in Eng
land the statement of the foreign statisti
cian is not altogether convincing, though
ft may bear some relation to the subject.
He points out that the income of physi
cians has depreciated greatly because or

DEATH ACCIDENTAL
NO ONE BLAMED FOB BOBEBT L.
SHANNON'S UNTIMELY END.
Autopsy Performed by Coroner This
Morning?Young M&n Struck by
Swiftly Pitched Base Bail.
An autopsy was performed this morn
ing by Coroner Nevltt, assisted by I>eputy
Coroner Glaxebrook. upon the body of Rob
ert L. Shannon, the young stenographer
of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company, who was almost instantly killed
about 6 o'clock last evening on the campus
of the Georgetown University. At the con
clusion of the examination Dr. Nevitt an
nounced that Shannon's death was due
to cerebral hemorrhage, caused by being
struck at the base of the brain by a base
ball thrown by G. W. Iddings. also an
employe of the telephone company. The
coroner regarded the death to have been
due to accident and deemed an inquest
unnecessary. He ordered the body to be
turned over to the young man's family. Up
to a late hour this afternoon the funeral
arrangements had not been completed. The
deceased lived with his parents at 3X9 oth
street southwest.
Was to Play in Game.
A game of base ball had been arranged
for last evening between the teams of the
telephone company and the Shaw & Berry
Company. During the preliminary prac
tice G. W. Iddings and C. Ford, the bat
tery of the telephone company, were prac
ticing back of the home plate. After the
innings had been arranged. Shannon, who
had been seated on the bleachers, took oft
his coat and started out to take his place
at second base. As he passed behind Ford
Iddings threw what is known as a "wild
pitch." of terrific speed. Ford missed the
ball and it struck Shannon before he had
time to dodge. ,
The blow made a sound that was heard
all over the field. He gave a cry, threw
up his- hands and sank to the ground un
conscious. Dr. D. B. Johannis of the
Emergency Hospital, who is also an em
ploye of the telephone - company, was on
the field and immediately ran to the aid of
the injured man. Dr. F. H. McKean of the
Georgetown University Hospital staff was
also present on another part of the field,
playing in a game between the Dumbarton
club and the Bar Association team. Ap
preciating that Shannon's condition was
serious. Dr. McKean ordered him removed
to the university hospital, and he was
borne there on the shoulders of several of
his friends. After an examination the resi
dent physician announced that the young
man was dead. The members of both teams
were greatly distressed, Iddings. who threw
the ball, being completely prostrated, so
much so that he had to be given restora
tives and sent to his home.
Mr. Thomas J. Shannon, the young man's
father, who had been notified of the acci
dent, arrived shortly after his son's re
moval to the hospital and arranged for the
transfer of the body to Zurhorst's under
taking establishment, where the autopsy
was performed this morning.
Graduate of High School.
Shannon was born In Schoharie county,
N. Y.. twenty-two years ago, and has been
a resident of the District since 1882. He
was graduated from the Business High
School In the class of 1900, and while there
was captain of Company E, High School
Cadets. He was a member of a local Ma
sonic lodge, which will have charge of his
funeral. He was regarded by his employers
and associates in the telephone company
as a young man of exceptional promise, of
the highest moral standing and Integrity,
and was unusually popular.

arrangement. Tell the boys I am doing
well. Will return home after much-needed
rest to xnlngle with them again. They
can't lose me. Billy Bell dead!

The Monocacy to Be Sold.
Orders*' have been issued that the gun

some time ago as unfit for further service.
A Word for Froude.
Bonalil McNeill In the Contemporary Review.
In all the deeper qualities of character
Carlyle was. I Imagine. Immeasurably su
perior to his wife, brilliant as she was, and
lovable too In many respects. But he neg
lected her and caused her much suffering
without Intending It or even being con
scious of what he was doing. That is, I
take It. roughly speaking, the impression
which Froude intended to convey and which
would be obtained from his writings by an
unprejudiced reader. For Froude is no par
tisan as bat ween Carlyle and his wife. His
account of the couple Is not only honest,
but I believe as near the truth of the mat
ter 'as biography Is likely ever to attain,
especially when concerned with beings so
complex as the Carlyles. But the time has
surely come when a fairer view should be
taken of Froude's own part in the drama.
The last words he wrote on the subject,
which will shortly be for the first time in
the hands of the public, clearly reveal his
abiding reverence for the master whom ho
is accused of having betrayed. He went to
his grave overwhelmed by reproaches which
were not less unmerciful than unjust, and
he maintained silence, when by speaking a
word he could have deff nded himself only
at the cost of Carlyle. It is time to drop
the notion that to revere the memory of
Carlyle Is to execrate the memory of
Froude. Their names must be lndlssoiubly
connected In the history of literature, and
though one was of course a ? far greater
writer and thinker than the other, they are
equally entitled to be remembered as hon
orable and upright men.

TURKISH BATHS.
How They Are Enjoyed in Old-Time
Damascus.
From the Hygienic Gazette.
"About the first real craving that strikes
the unsophisticated American or English
man upon his arrival in Damascus is the
desire for a Turkish bath right on the spot
where the famous bath was originated."
said a traveler. "His next decision Is that
a New York or a London Turkish bath is
about as far ahead of the Damascus arti
cle as mother's pies beat the baker's. In
view of the eastern origin of these baths I
naturally expected to find something of a
luxury.
"Entering one of the finest baths In the
city, I was at first sight much pleased with
the general appearance of things. Dog of
a Christian that I was. I entered a large

a splendid fountain, while the scene all
about was at first impression one of an
oriental fairyland. All around the fountain
on raised platforms were combination chair
couches upon which orientals were lolling
as only orientals can. pome were reclining,
some napping, some sipping coffee, some
smoking the narghlleh. some chatting, and
one was going through the red tape con
tortions required by Allah when the ninety
nine Moslem prayers are offered.
"As if to carry out the fairland Idea, In

in conformity with the views of propriety
of the western dog of an unbeliever, I was

My clothes I had to store In a drawer un

robing act was modified somewhat, how
ever, by the attendants, who by the usa of
towels formed a temporary screen. After
this they gave me wooden sandals n Ith

to further the chances of freaking my neck.

Beauty of a Forest Fire.
Krotn the Lewtston Journal,
In spite of the fact that thousands of
dollars' worth of timber was being de
stroyed, the people of Blaine say that the
forest fires on Mars Hill mountain' last
week furnished a glorious and awful spec
tacle. It was in reality a mountain of lire,
the flames roaring In all the fury of a
demon. Here and there some monarch ot
the forest, all aflame, would be silhouetted
for an Instant against the sky. its branches
aglow as with rows of tiny lights. Then a
gust of wind would cause the flames to leap
and tear from limb to limb. Instead of a
burning tree. It looked like a huge bonfire,
with nothing definite knd distinct except
the wild sheet of flame. A leap from this
charred, naked tree to another, and then
the spectacle would be repeated, with a
new victim. On the other side of the moun
tain the fire seemed to 'envelop everything,
transforming the forest into a monster of
destruction, against which man was pow
erless.

The Gift of a Light Heart.
From the Spectator.
Is it possible to cultivate a light heart T
Probably not; but all sorts of ahlfts have
been practiced at all times to retain one.
There have always been men like Thoreau
and St. Francis who believed that property
brought with It a heavy heart, and who
have refused, as did the American philos
opher, to be "harnessed to his posses
sions." St. Francis "cast aside every
weight" that he might free himself from
"idle sorrow." He and his first disciples
"loved nothing earthly and feared nothing
earthly: they were secure in all places,
troubled by no fears, distracted by no
cares; they lived without trouble of mind,
waiting without solicitude for the coming
day." St. Francis In the fastnesses of the
Italian hills singing French hymns among
the highway robbers in his whimsical light
ness of heart makes a strange picture. He
knew French badly, but It seemed to him
the language of gayety. The founder of tb'
Franciscans, though we are told that he
possessed what was quaintly called the gift
of tears when' performing his devotions In
his cell, was never seen abroad without a
smile, neither would he tolerate any ap
pearance of heaviness In his followers, lie
rebuked a brother to whom a dejected
manner had become habitual, saying: "My
brother, repent thy sins in private and do
not appear before the community thus
