ONE OF TWO WAYS. The bladder was created for one purpose, 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 created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not 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 trouble of 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 A Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

[CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAOK.] goods stores are hard to find, considering i the size of the city. A certain lady told me of her experience in trying to “go shop ping“ as they do in Chicago. She walk ed 27 blocks in the thickest settled part ( the city without even seeing a store j where they kept ladies goods. She cross- 1 ed over to beautiful show windows of fine ! suitings displayed attractively, but. they i were all for men's suits. She walked an- * other block to a large sign, “Glove Emporium, but it was all men’s gloves. “All the latest styles in new fall goods;” that must surely be for ladies, she thought, so across the street another block she went, but no, it. was all men’s goods. She said she didn’t get mad until she ran the risk of her life to rush across a crowded street to a blazing millinery sign, and reached it only to find nothing but men’s hats. At last she found an obliging darkey who took her to a “lahge depahtment stoah.” By this time she was warm and dusty and asked the clerk for the toilet room that she might fresh en up her rutiled toilet. The answer was. “On the “foath floah.” She was so mad she started out and after severa blocks upon inquiring found another “stoah,” and the polite lady clerk told her that, “The toilet pahlah is in the basement and is so dahk thaah I don t think you can find youah way.” Then the would be shopper made up her mind that ladies when they go shopping in Washington either go in their carriages or send a “niggah." Ever since we learned that George Washington had real live relatives in this part of the country wo had had a burning desire t<> see and talk with them. That opportunity came today. Having learned that Lawrence Washington, who lives at Alexandria, about seven miles down the river, had recently received an appointment from the government to a position in the congressional library, we called there today and shook hands and talked with Mr. Washington, who is a great great grand nephew of the illus triou» Washington and one of his nearest surviving relatives. He received us very kindly and modestly. He is a young man about 35 years old, with smooth face, and a noble cast of features some what resembling those with which we are all so familiar. Were he attired in the costume of continental days he would no doubt bear a striking resem blnnre to hi* great namesake and rala tiv*. In the course of our conversation he asked if we hud visited Mount Ver n<m. He expressed great pleasure at the way in which the grounds are being kept up under the management of the presentsupmiuj^^ki^jMAei^^^ trip through the East. I A visit to the government navy yards will well repay the sight seer. To see them making those mammoth guns for our battle ships is at once interesting and instructive. It requires from eight to ten months to turn out one of the larger guns ready for service, but of course a number of these are always be I ing made at the same time. As the navy yard i> constantly making guns of all ; descriptions for the naval service it looks as if our gov eminent ought to be well supplied. While here we happened | to run across Major Edward Dunn, who ; was one of the organizers of the Order of the Knights of Pythias. He with Jus j tin Rathbone and a few others organized I Washington Lodge, No. 1 K. of P..in 1864. This lodge disbanded in a short time, and Mr. Dunn was the leader in organ- ! izing Franklin Lodge No. 2. There was some misunderstanding and Mr. Rathbone dropped out of the order for about ] two years. Mr- Dunn invited him back, 1 all differences were settled and Mr. Rath > bone again became an active member of the order. Mr. Dunn intimated in his I conversation that he had not received ! the credit due him as one of the founders ,of the order. He was the first supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias and is the only surviving member of Wash ington Lodge No. 1. Mr. Dunn remarked. ) “Rathbone laid the egg and 1 hatched I it. Now who is the father of the chick । en?” I It was a great treat to hear the U. S. Marine band, said to be the best in the country. It plays at the eapitol every 1 Wednesday and at the white house every (Saturday. The Italian, F. Fanciulli, I has taken Sousa’s place as its leader. We leave in the morning, and tonight . as we watch the sun set on the eapitol 1 dome, the grand Washington monument outlined against the western sky like a great white linger pointing heavenward, we feel sad as we think that tomorrow night, yes many tomorrows, that beautiful scene will still be but for us perhaps never again only as we see it in memory’s vision. Two other pictures will ever stand outlined upon our memory even above all the other scenes of this wonderful city; the great white marble corridors and stairways of the Congressional Library leading upward like those in our dreams and the majestic sweep of the beautiful Potomac as it flows in silent reverence by the tomb of the illustrious dead at Mount Vernon.
