WASHINGTON LETTER. Humors of the War Scare-Gallant Captain Enoch Adams - A Story cf Poet T. Buchanan Bead. [Special Correspondence.] A phase of the war situation as it appears in one section cf North Carolina was related by a representative in congress from that state. In one of the orphans’ homes down there the children bad heard the older members of the household discuss the Maine disaster and became very much interested in the subject. A little b-year-old girl, when she came to the dinner table, asked one of the older girls, “Elizabeth, which do you think will whip, Spain or North Carolina?” Elizabeth explained that there was no war and hoped there would be none. In case there should be not simply North Carolina, but the whole United States would be arrayed against Spain. Some one then jocosely remarked, “They can’t fight, now that George Washington is dead.” At this the little girl interposed: “Ob, yes, they can. Ben Tillman is living.” She had heard Senator Tillman speak last summer at the Mooresville picnic, and he had impressed her lyGallant Captain Adams. It is rare that descendants of former presidents who hailed from the north appeal to the government for bounty to help keep body and soul together. The request of Enoch G. Adams of South Berwick, Mr , for an increase of his pension from $24 to SSO a month is therefore of unusual interest. Captain Adams has bad a most unfortunate career, as bis own letter to the house committee on pensions demonstrates. He is a graduate of Yale college, in the class of President Dwight, and a collateral descendant of John Adams, who was the second president of the United States. The ancestor from whom he traces his line is Rev. Joseph Adams, who was John Adams' uncle. A favorable report from the house committee on a bill, which has already passed the senate, shows that Captain Adams was a most gallant officer. He enlisted as a private, rose to the rank of captain and was brevetted major for his meritorious services. He was shot in battle, but refused to quit the service until the war was over. A gunshot wound in the neck of a serious character affected his nervous system and hie brain. Captain Adams fought in the peach orchard at Gettysburg, being one of the only two officers there who escaped death or wounds. He is now in his seventieth year, and some time ago was robbed of all his property. A Story of Poet Bead. “T. Buchanan Read, the poet who wrote the famous ‘Sheridan's Ride,’ was a well known figure around Washington during the war,” said an old Washingtonian. “He was a brilliant man, a notable bon vivantand high flier when he could afford to be, and perhaps a bit careless, too, in his habits. One afternoon, in the summer of 1864, Read drifted into one of the committee rooms of the senate—he was on friendly terms with most of the big men up at the capital—and, slumping into a chair, fell fast asleep. While he slept a couple of senators came into the rooxn to do some letter writing. The two senators shortly became involved in a low toned but warm discussion as to the progress of the war. Finally one of them, who belonged to the ‘peace at any price’ party, permitted his tones to grow ioud, and he slammed his fist down on a table and fairly shouted, ‘We must have peace!’ “The sleeping poet jumped from his chair like a man electrified. The tv senators looked at him, rather astonished at the suddenness of his awakening. Read rubbed his eyes for a moment and looked around him. Then he murmured these words: “Peace! Oh, that some white winged bird from the south Would build its nest in the cannon’s mouth And stop its roar I “I don’t remember every having heard of a more charming bit of impromptu poetical composition than that.” She Wanted a Bouquet. “Well, I thought some time ago that I had received all the strange, absurd and unreasonable requests and applications that could be made to a statesman, but I recently enjoyed an experience such as I would never have dreamed possible,” exclaimed a weary looking congressman as he entered his committee room and threw himself upon a sofa. “What was it?” he was asked. “Well, I was walking through the corridor when I was accosted by a lady who wore a badge which denoted that she was a delegate to the woman suffrage convention which was then in session here. She said she was a resident of my district; that there were to be some public exercises in which she was to take part, and that she desired me to have a bouquet prepared and sent to the hall, to be banded to her on the stage when she had performed her part.” “Os course you acceded to her request, ” remarked a friend of the congressman. “No, I did not, and perhaps my refusal was a somewhat rude one. I said to her: ‘Madam, I have not been a member of congress a very long time, but since I came here I have tried to > grant every request made by my constituents—many of which were absurd and unreasonable. 1 have been an er- I rand boy for them. I have fed some of them who became stranded in Washing- I ton and have furnished them with means to return to their homes. In fact, I have been kept so busy attending to the individual requestsand applications of some of my constituents that I have not been able to attend to much else. 1 must draw the line at bouquets, madam. Good morning.” Carl Schofield-

HOW TO FIND OUT. Bill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or setling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. W hen urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases, ff you need a m<<dieine you should have the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail, upon receipt of three 2c stamps to cover cost of postage on the bottle. Mention Decatub Democrat and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton, N. Y.

Miss Grace Marshall, of Indianapolis, discovered it, and she is now minus a thumb and finger as a result. She used a hairpin to pick open a dynamite cartridge which exploded and tore off one finger and the thumb of her left hand, and badly lacerated her right hand, injured the sight of one eye and tore the flesh partly from one hip. The cartridge had been lying around the house for several weeks.

No wonder so many sales girls and factory girls and housewives sup fer from indigestion and constipation and bilious troubles. No wonder they are subject to the diseases of the delicate special organism of their sex. The wonder is rather that they can stand it as well as they do. But “a poor weak woman, as sne is termed will endure bravely and patiently agonies which a strong man would give wav under. The fact is women are more patient than they ought to be under such troubles. .... Every woman ought to know that sne may obtain the most eminent medical advice free of charge and in absolute confidence and privacy by writing to Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo. N. Y. Occupying this position for thirty years he has had a wider practical experience in the treatment of women’s diseases than any other physician in this country. His medicines are world-famous for their astonishing efficacy. . The most perfect remedy ever devised for weak and delicate women is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. His “ Golden Medical Discovery” is the only permanent digestive and nutrient tonic. The two medicines taken alternately, form the most perfect and successful course of treatment ever prescribed for female troubles complicated with a sluggish, overwrought, nervous, diseased constitution. In severe constipation Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets should be occasionally taken with the others. They never gripe.
