Could hear the glass pieces drop on the
platform floor
Simultaneously with her action in
swinging the bottle against the side of
the jacht Miss Iloosevelt seized the sil
ver axe which la at her ncht and whleh
Dono of the spectators had seen before
and with a short quick blow she cut the
Cord which released the weights and al
lowed the vaeht to glide graccfullj into
the waters of the Arthur Kill
The whole thing was done quick as a
flash Vcrj few saw Miss Roosevelt han
dle the aie at all but all saw her smash
the bottle Her back was turned to the
spectators as she spoke but her voice
as loud enough to be heard for seeral
yards around
As she cut the cord she said In the
name of his Majesty the Gcman Em
peror I christen thee Meteor
Before she had finished the sentence
the jacht started on itsway Before the
cheer which arose as a punctuation mark
to Miss Roosevelts little proclamation
had died out the white hull was gliding
on the surface of the water It was a
most successful launching
InclitN Deenrntionn
As the jacht struck ihe water her flags
were unfolded by an automatic device
Afnha bow flew the American flag and at
th stern the rojal standard of German
Running from the bowsprit to within fle
feet of the top of the forward staff were
strung seven large signal flags of varied
colors
From the forward staff to the rear staff
were btruck hazards fiom which signal
flags were also flown The hazards con
tinued from the rear staff down to the
stern and a dozen small flags and stream
ers were bent to them
On the top of the rear staff above the
roal standard was hoisted the eagle of
Germany red on white ground The two
poles were flft feet high and were stepped
In the holes intended for the fore and
main mast
liouquet Prom lie Iriuee
Prince Henry turned to the Presidents
daughter and grasped her hand again
Then lie turned to the crowd and waved
his right hand in the air
It was the signal to send up a cheer for
the girl who named his brothers acnt
and cverj persoriIn the crowd understood
it and responded with a will Then the
jinnee shook hands all around the
dent shook hands several times again
and a big tar from the Hohenzollern ran
up to Miss Roosevelt and thrust In her
arms an immense bouquet of pink roses
It was the offering of the Kaisers brother
Pive minutes later the crowd began to
make way the band struck up an Ameri
can hymn followed by a German anthem
and the Presidential party and Prince
Henry escorted by Mr Downey started
In procession for the hall where luncheon
awaited them

mony in the trial of George Riley the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad walking
boss who was placed on trial here jes
terday charged with the murder of John
Rjan on August 14 1901 was concluded
at noon today
RUcy took the stand In his own behalf
and swore that he killed Ryan in order to
save his own life which contradicted the
two principal witnesses for the Statu who
testified that Ryan was Itng behind the
blacksmith shop near the tunnel at Rldgc
ville when Riley walked behind the shop
and battered out Rans brains with tho
barrel of a shotgun
The testimony of James Baer iftid
Michael Toner was very damaging and a
deep Impression was made upon the Jury
when they described how Riley had fir3t
stood within a few feet of Ryan pointing
Nils gun at him and saying
I am going to kill ou
After Ryan left the shop creeping out
of the side where a board was off
Riley went around the side of the build
ing and found Ryan who was drunk Ij
lug on the ground
Daer and Toner both heard the blows
which fractured Rans skull and spat
tered his brains over the side of the shop
After killing Ryan Riley went in search
of Stephen Noonan who had been with
Ryan and finding him down the track se
riously injured him by smashing him over
the head with a shotgun
Riley then lied first throwing away his
gun pistol and the iron hook he wore
In lieu of a right forearm when he w as
afterward arrested In Pittsburg Pa and
brought here for trial

Three new cases of smallpox were
rounded up late yesterday afternoon The
patients were removed to the hospital
making fifteen now under treatment by
the Health Department These casc3 came
In the nature of a surprise to tho depart
ment showing two new sources of the
disease not before suspected
One of the sufferers was Clifford Hctt
a white boy eighteen ears old who was
taken from the Emergency Hospital Hett
left Akron Ohio about three weeks agi
and arrived in Washington last Sunday
The Health Officer stated last night that
the boy evidently contracted the disease
either In Ohio or while en route to this
city
Contumlnntcd Fellon Kniploje
Another case was that of Harry Evcrley
a white man about twenty five ears old
cmpoed In Dietzs restaurant 235 New
Jersey Avenue northwest The Health
Officer stated that Everley had contracted
the disease from James Hudson a colored
man twent -eight ears old cmplocd at
the same place
It appears that Hudson was tiken
slightly ill about two weeks ago am had
an eruption on the skin He kept about
his work and nothing was tb5ughtof it
until Everley was taken sick yesterday
when his case immediately aroused the
suspicion of the attending physician
Wns In n CouvnleMcent btuce
When the inspector of the Health De
partment arrived on the scene it vias
found that Everley had a well developed
case of smallpox and that Hudson was
In a convalescent stage of the malady
Both were removed to the smallpox hos
pital and the lestaurant quarantined
In speaking of the matter latt night Dr
Woodward stated that the mild like
those of Hudson were the most danger
ous of all Save a slight illness that was
psobably attributed to la grippe Hud
son suffered no inconvenience and was
moving about in a condition to contami
nate any pumbT of persons with whom he
might cpjne in contact
iRoroiiM Measures to lie Pursued
Dr Woodward was of the opinion Past
night that vigorous measures would have
to be pursued In reference to the restau
rant and its habitues Ho etprcssed the
opinion that It would be wise for all
who had visited the place within the past
few- days to submit to vaccination as a
precautionary measure

THREE NEW SMALLPOX
CASES UNEARTHED
Fifteen victims of smallpox areTiow
under treatment by tho Health De
partmcnL Three new cases came to
light lite jestcrday afternoon In
one instance that of a colored man
James Iidson employed In a New
Jersey Avenue restaurant It was
found he was In a convalescent stage
but his condition was not discovered
until be had contaminated Harry Ev
erley employed at the same place
The other new- case was that of Clif
ford Hett eighteen years of age who
came from Akron Ohio three weeks
ago
Hett Dr Woodward said that he had
been stopping at one or two boarding
houses before being taken to the Emer
gency Hospital and that it would bu
necessary for the department to inaugu
rate an investigation with a view to the
vaccination of tho Inmntes and perhaps
the Isolation of the house In which he had
last stopped
The Health Department is putting forth
every effort to stop the spread of small
pox
Inspectors were sent out yesterday to
prosecute the work of vaccination In tho
vicinity of tho several centres of con
tagion and a considerable number of peo
ple called at the Health Department to
submit to the operation there
iorc Arm for the J P O
In harmony with the Health Depart
c ent of the District Public Printer Pal
mer issued an order yesterday compelling
all the cmploes of the Government
Printing Office to bo vaccinated
This was done in view of the fact that
there are several smallpox cases in the
vicinity of tho office The collection of
old paper and waste that accumulates
around a printing office is very suscepti
ble to the germ of the disease and vac
cination was considered a necessary pre
caution
There has been no sign of the disease
among the employes of the office as yet
bill many have not been vaccinated since
they were children and consequently there
is much danger of contagion
The Sick Leave Question
It is not vet determined what will be
done In regard to the sickness usually
resulting from vaccination Sick leave is
not accorded to the emplojcs and there
will either be some special provision made
b Mr Palmer for their relief or tncy will
lose the time from their annual leave
This is the first department to issue
an order compelling the clrks to be vac
cinated tut it is thought that several
other offices are contemplating the act
eiKhorliouds Feel liicnsj
A number of persons called at the
Health Office to consult vith the Health
Officer and his assistants as to the best
means to keep clear of the contagion
The neighborhoods where the jellow
cards are exposed naturally feel uneasy
especially since the multiplication of
cases and several men called to express
a willingness to co operate with the De
partment in hedging Tn the malady
Chief DniiKer Removed
The Health Officer assured his callers
that the policy of complete isolation of
those vho are suffering from the disease
and those who are known to lave been
exposed removes the chief danter
He advised all who called to oe vacci
gfaMjvk sj s y
nated and to have their families also la
oculated
Attention was called to tho fact that
several of the twelve cases under treat
ment hid never been vaccinated at all
and that those who had been so treated
had been inoculated several years ago
so that Its effect had worn off
In tlia Detention Cnnip
A sober set of people In the detention
camp are waiting between hope and fear
for the developments of the next few days
In their Individual cases
They are being carefully watched by an
inspector of the Health Department and

Carelessness In Philadelphia
Dr W C Woodward the Health Officer
said yesterday that the policy pursued la
Philadelphia of isolating only those who
actually had the disease had produced se
rious results for Washington
Eight of the cases no a the hospital
arc attributable to the carelessness of
the Philadelphia authorities he said in
allowing person exposed to the dlscasa
to go free
Those Exposed Isolated
Dr Woodward oxplalned that In the
District the department not only Isolates
the persons with the disease but those
who are known to have been exposed to
it
He said that this rale often worked a
good deal of hardship but that ex
perience had proved the necessity for
such steps to be taken if the community -is
to be kept free from the pest -
He stated that when any one known
to have been exposed to smallpox goes to
another jurisdiction the department noti
fies the authorities In order that they
may be on the lookout
Dr Woodward said that it the Phila
delphia autnorltles had extended the
rame courtesy to the District there
would have been several fewer smallpox
patients in the hospital today

m f Pain
Rheumatism seems fb take a fiendish delight in torturing its
victims No mode of punishment ever invented br man
or practiced by devil possessed savage has caused more
bodily suffering such deep racking pains as this pitiless
disease Rheumatism leaves in its trail distorted muscles
crooked and misshapen joints and limbs and the intense
pain and agony endured is reflected in the haggard and
furrowed countenance of the sufferer Rheumatism makes
us grow old and decrepid before our time and many an
one in the full vigor of manhood has been suddenly
stricken by this ruthless disease and made almost as helpless and dependent as an infant
Chained to the invalids chair or hobbling about on crutches and continually tormented
tli pain the patient in desperation resorts to the use of opiates which deaden the pain but
lead to ruinous habits There is no disease so aggressive end stubborn as Rheumatism
after it becomes well intrenched or fixed in the system and no liniment or other external
application can check it or do any permanent good Rheumatism is not due to outside
influences or causes but is a constitutional disease an internal inflammation produced by a
too acid condition of the blood Waste matter that should have been cast out of the body is
retained fermentation takes place Uric Lactic and other acids form and are absorbed into
the blood and as it circulates through the system every
joint membrane tissue and nerve is saturated with
these corrosive irritating acids when exposure to cold
and damp or a spell of indigestion will bring on a fierce
attack that almost takes the breath by its suddenness
and severity The parts affected become inflamed and
swollen and every movement is attended with pains
that seem to cut like a knife into the tender flesh and
nerves
After Rheumatism becomes chronic there is al-
wavs a soreness and weakness of the back and dull
REPEATED FAILURES THEN RELIEF
Mr Wm L Hill of Winston N C at one
time a traveling salesman and well known
in North and South Carolina and Virginia
says Two years aeo my blood was in
wretched condition and in addition to other
bodily ailments I suffered severely from
Eheumatism After repeated failures to
secure relief from the use of other remedies
I becan S B S and it acted like a charm
Tho rheumatic pains left and my general
health was built up as well I have tho
hiarhest opinion of S S 3 for It la the only
medicine that did mo any
throbbing pains in the muscles and joints and an ever increasing stiffness of the limbs
This Demon of Pain attacks the old and young the strong and the weak no our- is exempt
but from middle life to old age is the time when its assaults become most frequent and severe
At this period the vital energies begin to wane the blood grows weak and thin and is easily
chilled the circulation becomes uncertain and slow and there is scarcely a moments
freedom from pain in some part of the body
The treatment of Rheumatism must be internal some remedy that can reach and
neutralize the poisonous acids and cleanse the circulation S S S a purely vegetable
medicine acts promptly and surely in all Rheumatic cases purifying and invigorating the
linpovensnea Dioca erauicuimg uu miumiuca n
system and sending a stream of rich new blood to wash out
the irritating particles that arc causing the inflammation
and pains In chronic cases or those developing late in
life S S S is especially effective it warms and enriches
the blood restores nervous energy and stimulates the
failing organs improves the appetite and digestion and
builds up the general health thus fortifying the system against the tortures of Rheumatism
Alkalies Potash and mineral remedies have au opposite effect destroying the delicate lining
of the stomach and often permanently impairing the constitution S S S is guaranteed
entirely vegetable and a specific in all Rheumatic troubles Our Physicians will gladly
advise without charge all who write them about their case and we will mail free our special
