we realize. It consumes the
vitality faster than nature can

just what moment a temporary

mind will result. Headache and
pain should be promptly re

pain cures are more harmful
than the pain. Beware. If

BIG STEEL TRUST ENJOINED.
Stockholders Seek to Prevent
Transfer of Bonds.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York, Juno L To prevent If possible,
the consummation of the plan arranged by
tho directors of the United States Steel
Corporation to execute and deliver J309.000.
000 of its bonds for the purchase and re
tirement, or the exchange of S3CO.OD0.000 of
It preferred stock. C. II. Venner & Co., a
New Jersey concern, and James Pollltz of
this city, have begun an action In the Su
preme Court. They seek to restrain the cor
poration from carrying out the plan and to
prevent the placing of any lien or mortgage
upon the properties or assets of the cor
poration to secure the pament of such
bonds. George H. Teaman Is counsel for
the plaintiffs.
C. H. Venner & Co. own BOO shares
of common etock of the, corporation and
Pollltz owns 100 shares of the preferred
stock. The plan is to issue . $230,000 000 of
bonds bearing 6 per cent Interest, secured by
a mortage upon the property, to use $50.
000.000 of bonds for the purpose of raising an
additional working capital to be used In the
prosecution of its business and to exchange
J250.000.OCiO bonds for preferred stock. The
result of this. It Is asserted. Is simply to
rearrange the present capitalization of the
corporation by Increasing Its bonded In
debtedness to an amount of 200,000.000.
TMs, It Is alleged, will Increase the fixed
charges of the corporation by about 510.
000.000 annually. Increase the danger of vol
untary dissolution and endanger the ability
of tho corporation to pay dividends. The
complaining stockholders allege that the
corporation can easily negotiate JdO.OOOOO
of its bonds to raise an additional work
ing capital without the payment of 4 per
cent' commission on J2O0.000O0 of bonds to
be exchanged for preferred stock. They
allege that no meeting of the stockholders
was held to vote on the plan and that the
object Is to enable certain hnlderx of pre
ferred stock to become secured creditors.

ACTIVITY SHOWN IN ALL LINES.
Wiggins Ferry Fight deferred to
as an Evidence of the Value
of Hallway Teimi-
11 a Is.
The Manufacturers' Record of Baltimore,
which rani's amon; the leading Industrial
journals of the world, comments upon the
progress St Louis is making in every char
acter of municipal activitv. While the im
petus given bj tho arproachlng 'Worlds
Fair is taken into account, the correspond
ent does not hold that this enterprise is
alone at the bottom of the cit's wonderful
growth.
Beginnirg with the city Government, at
tention is called to the fact that onl since
Major Rolli Wells and his associates have
been In office, have steps been taken to
"stop boodllng and overhaul the boodlers in
public placer" The result of a good ad
ministration is evident, cajs tho correspond
ent. Albirt Phenls. in the improvemnt of
streets. St Louis novv has about 4J0 miles
of asphalt, block and macadam pavements,
and this is constantly beinj Increased.
"Extraordinary development is apparent In
railroad building in the territory aomlnate 1
b St Louis." s-aj the Record. ".o less
than 2.000 miles of new lines are under con
struction in Missouri, Arkansas. Indian Ter
ritory . Oklahoma and Texas, and in all this
section new enterprises are not of infrequent
announcement The fight which has been
waged on the Rock Wand's attempt to se
cure possession of Wiggins Fen demon
strates how important a hitherto neslected
property has become In the estimation of
the biggest magnates of the railroad world
St. Louis does rot depend upon Eastern
capital to finance its enterprises. It has
capital to spare, as was evidenced b the
recent $10.0f.OM loan to the Mexican Central
Railroad The Tennessee Central Is also in
debted to this cit for the millions which
have made that enterprise a success. In a
general summary the Record aj.
"It will give further insight to be told
that the nineteen banks and ten trust com
panies of St Louis have a capital and sur
plus of more than $70000.000. whil" their de
posits are almost $200.000 000. The bank
clearings wre nearij C.271.0O0.0O) In rxl.
an increase of more than $CS0,00,0iX over the
figure of 130ft.
"While in manufacturing St. Louis does
rot hold the lead she should and will, there
Is a very considerable manufacturing inter
est here, the alue of products at the fir
tories for 1301 being given at some
$100.000 000 and wages paid out aggregate
about Jl.7oO.WO a week, or some S30.ir (no .1
year. The statement Is m-ide that coal Is
cheaper in St. Louis than in anv othr citj
of the first clasp, and Government indorse
ment of the claim is exhibited.
"In Jobbing lines St. Louis holds a strong
place, and is destined to further greatness
She is the third American city as a market
for dry goods, clothing and groceries, the
second largest shoe-distributing point and
flour market, and first In millinery, drug,
hardwoods, fruits and horses and mules Sh
supplies the West and Southwest with much
those sections consume and use, and she Is
even extending her sphere of usefulness by
adding new lines and by penetrating new
territory."

SPECIAL BT CABLK
Paris, June l.(Cop right, 1MZ). "The
news that Mr. Edison had solved the great
problem cf cheap electrical automobiles for
long distance was Interesting to the Paris
Ian, but the opinion remains that 'The no
blest conquest of man" will be seen In the
Bois for many a jear," said M Jeantaud,
one of the pioneers of automobillsm In
France "If what I read about Mr. Eiison's
new battery be true It is a marvelous dis
covery and one which will make the electric
carriage practical and economical.
"Twenty years ago." he continued, "I con
structed my first electric carriage, and ever
since have been seeking to find a light, good
wearing accumulator one which would un
der 100 kilogrammes give 100 amperes an
hour under 10) volts. I should be enchanted
If my Idea has been realized and send my
warmest congratulations to Mr. Edl"on. The
future of this discovery should the pub
lished statements be true is enormous
"Rioad locomotion will be chearer bj half
than horse traction. It will not be by thou
sands but bv millions that electric vans and
carriages will have to be constructed and It
would take fully ten jears to put ali the

NEW TENT MEETING OPENED.
Evangelist Gordon Conducting
Services for Fourth .Church.
Another tent meeting opened last right at
Thirteenth and Sullivan avenue, under the
auspices of the Fourth Baptist Church. The
meetings will be conducted by Evangel'st
Gordon, and will continue for three weeks
The afternoon's services In the gospel
tent at Tenth and North Market streets were
In the nature of a rally. The greater part
of the meeting was taken up with testimo
nials of faith by Christians Each speaker
was allowed a minute In which to give tes
timony. Evangelist Hart's portion of the pro
gramme consisted of Bible reading. He said
Christians mustjield and trvst in God ard
obey him If they hope to alu salvation.
Christians must bear the responsibility of
spreading the gospel and not rely upon th
church to do It. Some people, he said, think
that If they give a dollar or two to charity
or go to church once in a while, they are
avcd, but they are deceiving themslve.
They must give themselves to God, holy
and soul, or they are lost.
Evangelist Hart will remain at Tenth and
North Market streets all this week, afer
which the tent will be removed to Baden.

cal Department of the army. The dinner
took place In the banquet room of a leading
hotel.
Several of the ladies present began to
complain of severe headaches. The head
ache spread among the guests, and flnaily
resulted In the banquet being suspended
rather suddenly.
Prominent among the sufferers were Mrs.
Sternberg, the guest of honor; Mrs. La
Garde, wife of Major Louis La Garde of
the Soldiers' Home, and Mrs. Carter, wife
of Major B, C. Carter.
Much speculation has. been Indulged In as
to the cause of the malady. Some of the
learned surgeons attending the banuet are
of tne opinion that It was due to ptomaine
poisoning.
"Think of it." said one of the ladles. "The
Idea of the surgeens of the United States
Army giving a banquet to their chief and
his wife and then making nil the ladies
present ill."

GENERAL BOYNTON SAYS
HE MADE NO MISTAKE.
Declares thi Errors Concerning the
flough Illilern Part nt nn Jnan
Here Properly Expnnsred,
Washington. June J, "If I were to writs'
over again th re-port which I submitted to
the Board of Education February 39. 1301.
concerning the Inaccuracies which existed
in histories which were in use in the Dis
trict schools at that time, I would not
change a single word," General IL V. Bon
ton. chairman of the Board of Education,
remarked last night when asked concerning
a letter written to President Roosevelt by
John B Daish. In which the attention of
the President is called to Jthe fact that the
school histories now used in 'he District
schools do not contain the statement that
the Rough Riders led the charge up San
Juan Hill.
"My sole purpose in submitting that re
port was was to correct erroneous state
ments, and I had no thought of reflecting
upon the valor of our President." General
Bojnton continued "I wish to be under
stood as saving that I stand upon that re
port and no not wish to alter it In the
least. It has been made to appear that my
report brought about a change in the state
ment in .viontgomer s nisiory concerning,
the battle of San Juan The publishers
made the change in the text before my re
port was submitted, I found out after
wards." General Bojnton referred In his report of
February 20. 1J01, to Inaccuracies in John
son's history of the I'nilcd States, lie
Master's school hlstorj of the United
States and Montgomery's leading facts In
United States history The statement In the
Montgomery history concerning the battle
of San Juan to which General Bojnton ob
jected was as follows
"At the battle of Son Juan. Roosevelt, at
the head of the Rough Riders, led the as
sault, and thej with the gallant regulars
(both black and white), joined by a part
of the Seventy-first New ork Volunteers,
carried all before them "
The comment which General Boynton
made upon this statement in his report was
as follows.
"While there Is no doubt of Colonel Roose
velt's reckless courage before Santiago, it
would be difficult to w rite a more erroneous
paragraph, as verj- one knows who has
studied the details of the battle of San
Juan."
NEW CURE FOR DIABETES.
Physician's Experiments With In
fusion of Eucalyptus Leaven.
London, June 1 Almost as Important as
current political gossip is the announce
ment that a Glasgow physician. A, C
Faulds. has been able to cure fifteen cases
of diabetes out of fortj-six bj using an In
fusion of dried eucalvptus leaves.
It Is said that his experiments, which
were prompted bj his discover that New
Zealand natives used such an infusion. In
stead of the eucaljptus oil of commerce,
will be repeated on a larger scale In the
London hospitals
According to the Cyclopedia of Medicine
and Surgery, edited bj Doctors G M. Gould
and Walter L. Pjle. eucalj-ptus Is made
from the leaves of blue gum, native of Aus
tralia, but novv cultivated in California. It
contains a volatile oil that jlelds camphor
bj- dlstllUtlon. and has an aromatic, bitter
taste, promoting digestion It Is highly an
tiseptic and antimalarial, and is valuab'e
in ujspepsla and intermittent fever. It Is
also extremely astringent and valuable In
the treatment of relaxed throat. The genus
embraces many species of trees end shrubs,
neatly all of which appear to have hlshly
useful medicinal qualities. Eucalyptus
hone, gathered by bees from the flowers
of the species, is valued In Australian do
mestic practice as a cure for almost all
catarrhal troubles.

DEW BATHS THE LATEST FAD.
Washington Young Woirlen Seek
Beaut- in a Xew Way.
REPLTiLIC SPECIAL.
Washlrgton, June 1. The last diversion to
claim the attention and zealous Indorsement
of the ultra-fashionable Is the dew bath.
It's a popular and wholly unconventional
invention of some one, no one knows just
who, and is being indulged In with all the
vim and enthusiasm which has been the
death of fads since time immemorial.
The dew bath was thought oat and per
fected for beautlfjing purposes only and
those to w hom nature has been unkind have
eagerly seized the opportunity presented to
become the peer of their more fortunate
sisters In point of facial attractiveness. It
consists In bathing the face and hands In
the early morning dew To accomplish this
It Is necessary to get up with the sun or
even before, find a convenient grass plot
and take the bath
The parks about the city, especially those
in the vicinity of tho fashionable section,
have been the sc;ne of these early morning
meetings ever since the beginning of April,
and more than one unsophisticated Indi
vidual has been teen to stand, rub his eyes
and look aghast at the spectacle of a dozen
or more young jromen on their knees en
gaged in taklnj the dew bath.

PERSIA AFTER TURKEY'S TRADE.
America Buys More and More Bugs
From First-Xamed Country.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. June L The Bureau of AnN
mal Industry has bad occasion to look Into
the trade of rugs; ard has made some in
teresting dlscov-ries. The annual importa
tion of thes rugs, the manufacture of
which forms one of the most Important
features In the industry and commerce of
the Ottoman Empire, exceeds $1,450,009. and
includes about 52.000 pieces.
Of late vears. however, Jhe demand for
Turkish rugs has suffereda marked de
cllre. while Persian rugs have advanced lit
popularity
It has been found that the decline In the
demand for Turkish rugs Is chiefly due to
the marked Inferiority of the wool now em
ployed In the rug-weaving districts. Tna
best wool comes from the frontier between
Turkey and Persia, and. by some means,
the Persians have gotten control of nearly
all the wool produced In this region, which,
now goes to the Persian rug-weaving cen
ters, very little of It finding Its way west
ward. The Sultan Is lending every encour
agement to those who have In hand tea
construction of the Bagdad Railway, In the
hope that the new trarurportatlon facilities
will change the current of this product and,
render it accessible to the weavers of Ana
tolia. Thomas H. Norton. United States Consul
at Harput. states that In addition to the
foregoing, there are two other factors that
are driving ine traae out. or. Muritey ana,
Into Persia.
"The first." he says, "is the more extend-.
ed use In Turkey of the cheapand brilliant,
but fugitive, aniline dyes. In Persia the less
vivid, but permanent, vegetable coloring
matters retain their ancient vogue. Again,
th artistic sense seems more highly de
veloped In Persia; at least, there Is more
conformity to occidental canons of beauty
as far as designs and color combmatJtons
are concerned. There Is no doubt that these
three factors are seriously affecting Tba
demand for the products of Turkish looms.
