The bladder was created for one pur pose, namely, a receptable for the urine, and as such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways. | The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treatment of other diseases. CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid neys is the chief cause of bladder troubles. ! So the womb, like the bladder, was creat I ed for one purpose, and if not doctored j too much is pot liable to weakness or , disease, except in rare cases. It is situ ated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb troubleof some sort. The error is easily made and may be easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty four hours; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney and bladder remedy is soon realized. If you need a medicine you should have the best. At druggists fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by mail. Mention the Independent and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

[CONTINUED KIIOM FIRST PAGE [ 7, 1773, in the 28th year of his age. Behold fond man, Hee here thy j h tured life, Pass some few joint ihy Howry spring, Thy Hummer’s ardent strength, Thy solid autumn fading into age, Ami pale concluding winter comes at last, And Hhutls the. scene.” the oldest tombstone in this ancient cemetery bears the following inscription: “Here lies the body of Mr. Isaac Pierce, born in Boston, son of Mrs. Isaac Pierce, distiller, who departed this life March 2G, 1771, aged 21 years.” Another headstone bears the follow ing grim inscription: ‘‘Who aniietioiiH sore long time he bore. PhyslelaiiH was in vain, Till God was pleased, Death should him sieze And ease him of his pain." And another dated 1799 bears the fol lowing warning: "All you that eums My gravw to see. Prepare yourselves to Follow me. Repent and turn to God in time. You may be taken in Your prime " Old Christ Episcopal church was built in 1767. George Washington was one of the first vestrymen and an original pew purchaser. The chandelier which he presented to the church still hangs in the center and its candles are lighted on extra occasions. One of the front pews is now occupied by Lawrence Washing ton, a groat grand nephew of Washing ton, and who is one of the present vestrymen of the church. Services are held at the church regularly every Sunday. Ihe present pastor is Rev. Berry man green. Washington's pew is reserved for visitors. Alexandria is one of Virginia's oldest towns. It was incorporated in 1735 and was conspicuous in colonial affairs. General Washington laid out the first street in Alexandria. Ho often drove over here in his coach or came on horse back to take an active part in the town affairs. Washington, I>. C., Sept. 5. This | morning the <piestion arose "How shall wo spend our Sunday in the capital?” | By inquiry we found that the great divines were not yet back from their ! summer vacations, the Corcoran Art i buildingwould bo closed until Sept. 15, I but if church and art were denied us there were the worldly diversions left, so j following the crowd we took anelectric! car for the surburban resorts, Cabin ! John’s Bridge and Glen Echo, returning | by the romantic Chevy Chase route. ' Cabin John’s Bridge is a mammoth stone ■ strurturo spanning Cabin John's ere< k, | >» Hionll gurgling brook at the bottom ; of n deep wide ravine. The bridge is noted as having the longest stone sp in of any Inidge in the world. The conduit which brings Washington its water sup ply from the falls about fifteen miles up tile Potomac passes through the bridge. It is a beautiful sight to look from the bridge down into the glen and the | scenery all around is very picturesque. • There is a fine liotel and excellent aceommodationH. The "conduit road” from Washington to the bridge is smooth and level and it seemed as though all the cyclists in the city were out there on i their wheels. It was quite a sight to see hundreds of wheels standing checked in the racks outside the hotel. By the way, the bridge and creek got its name from an old man who lived there years ago in a tiny cabin by the little old bridge. He was murdered for his money but his cabin is preserved and when the old bridge was torn down the new one took the old name. (Urn Echo had for its original attraction a noisy bnxik rushing, foaming over a rocky bed through a deep wooded glen. There ' have been added cottages, a hotel, ath- . letic buildings, etc., and a splendid i auditorium containing a grand concert ! piano and pipe organ. The auditorium! was built with the intent ion of holding Chautauqua assemblies there, with devotional exercises on Sunday, but somehow the Chautauqua assembly didn't assemble, and well, we saw a program of the exercisis to be held there Sunday afternoon ami evening and though, like Artemus Ward's performing bear, they were strictly moral,yet they could hardly be called devotional.

j With hundred of others we spent a delightful lazy hour or two lounging on the spacious lawn of the Arsenal watch ing the boats pass up ami down the river. Large steamers loaded with ex ; cursionists left the wharf every half hour and dozens of pretty sail boats I skimmed by. One excursion steamboat, which plies up and down the river, is used exclusively for carrying colored people. The owners of the boat, with an eve to the eternal fitness of things, have had the whistle fixed to sound ex ac tlv like a coon the four legged kind that you > atch in the w.mhlh. see many more colored than white people upon the streets and in the parks, wheeling <>n the avenues, etc., and t hey are for the most part dressed as well as the white people. They come out in Home stunning wheel costumes. It is said that about forty live per cent of the population of the < ity is colored, but this is probably a low estimate. As we were walking down one of the avenues the other evening I counted the casual passers by and in less than a half block we met thirteen "niggers” and but one white person. The laboring class here is mostly made up of colored 10. W. A. Endley.
