SETTLING UP ITS BUSINESS

NEW YORK , April 6. The liquidating
committee of the i Joint .Traffic" association
held Its first meeting In thla city today with
the object of settling the affairs of the as
sociation. The committee was appointed
flvo months ago as a result of n decision of
the United Statra supreme court adjudging
the traffic body a combination In restraint
of trade.
At the meeting today a difference of opin
ion developed regarding the disposition ot
the association. Some of the committee
held that the organization might be pre
served to continue as a ( bureau where the
interested roads could file tariff schedules
nnd the like. This has Ojoen done In the
western association , and they continue for
this purpose alone. Other 'members of the
committee , 'however ' , expre ? ed the fear that
as the Joint Trafllc association had been the
special object of attack in the courts Its
continuance even as a bureau for the regis
tration of tariffs might he construed ns evi
dence of contumacy and disregard of the
eupromo court's declnlon.
No decision was reached at today's ses
sion and the committee was continued.

mlttco was appointed to confer with the di
rectors of the Greater America Exposition
to arrange for the employment of union labor
In the work to bo done at thu exposition

The Painters' union submitted a list of the
Parsnip Complexion.
A majority of the Ills afflicting people
today can be traced to kidney trouble. It
pervades all classes of society , In all ell-
mates , regardless of age , sex or condition.
The sallow , colorless-looking people you
often meet are afflicted with "kidney com
plexion. " Their kidneys are turning to a
parsnip color , BO la their complexion. They
may suffer from Indigestion , bloating ,
sleeplessness , uric acid , gravel , dropsy ,
rheumatism , catarrh of the bladder , or Ir
regular heart. You may depend upon It ,
the cause Is weak , unhealthy kidneys.
Women as well as men are made misera
ble with kidney nnd bladder trouble and
both need the same remedy. Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp Root , the great kidney , liver and
bladder remedy will build up and strengthen
weak and unhealthy kidneys , purify tbo dis
eased , kidney-poisoned blood , clear the com
plexion and soon help the sufferer to better
health.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp Hoot Is soon realized. It etandi
the highest for Us wonderful cures of the
mo.n distressing cases , such as weak Iclil-
ncyg. catarrh ot the bladder , grave ) , rheu
matism and Dright's disease , which Is the
worst form of kidney trouble. It Is sold

A score of men who organized a cycling
club In the days when the old-fashioned
high wheel was In vogue met last evening
In the banquet room of the Hcnshaw hotel ,
'round tables loaded with all sorts of good
things to eat nnd drink , to relate reminis
cences of their early wheeling days nnd
Incidentally to elect officers.
Amid' the glow of cigars and the clink
of glasses plans were discussed for the
coming spring's outings nnd among other
things It was decided to hold the initial
run Saturday , May C , each of the half hun
dred club members to rldo an "ordinary , "
as the use of a modern wheel on this occa
sion will not bo allowed. The evening of
that day another banquet will bo given and
It was decided to spare no efforts to make

attending and in respect of a rousing good

Uo You Know t'tirriln ' Illocntt ;
An Introduction costs S cents , and the
package you buy for a nickel Is likely to
make you afriend for life.
The pholce of the Best wheat flour , the
use of the bc t soda , even scrupulous care
In seeing that the water used In mixing
them is absolutely pure all these points
enter Into the baking of L'ncoda IJIscult.
But If Unoeda Biscuit are a great advance
In biscuit making n more notable advance i
has been made In the manner of Felling
them.
Soda biscuit , before the appearance of
Unoeda Biscuit , were neglected because the
soda In the ordinary biscuit takes moisture
from the air and the biscuit rapidly loses
Its crlspness and Its oven flavor.
The patented package Uneeda IMscult
come In Is moisture proof and keeps the
biscuit In the condition In which they came
from the oven.
A Uneoda Biscuit taken from a package
six months old and one Just taken from the
oven could not be dlfltlngulshed by experts I
who made the test. Still these biscuit never
linger on the shelves of dealers. They are
supplied constantly , fresh from the bakeries.

went out Just at that minute and Mrs. I
llnymond , taklnc advantage of the absence I !
of other shoppers , concealed the purse In her
clothing without stopping to examine Its
contents. Then she , too , passed on Into the
store.
Lyda Harrlgan , clerking In the lace de
partment , owned the purse , and missing It
when she returned from the waiting room
to work , she remembered having loft It on
the stand and went back to got It. As she
entered the waiting room Mrs. Raymond
came out and when the pocketbook was not
found the loss was reported to Detective
Grler , who accused Mrs. Raymond of taking
It. At first possession of It was denied by
her , but when taken to the police station
she confessed and was locked up on the
charge of petty larceny. The purse con
tained several valuable papers , but only a
few dollars In money.

barn , \\hlch has been mentioned before.
Work will commence on the structure In a
few days. Armour & Co. secured a. permit
for a wholesale market at Twenty-eighth
and Q streets , which will cost when com
pleted over J2.000.
I' . J. howls , who recently purchased the
Mnck block. Twenty-fourth nnd M streets ,
obtained a permit yesterday for the erec
tion of a three-story brick building adjoin
ing the .Mack block on the north. It Is re
ported that when the now building Is com
pleted the entire building will be converted
Into first-class hotel. In addition to this
permit .Mr. hewls secured a permit for
$1,000 worth of repairs on the Mack block.
The building of a large hotel here has
been talked about for years , but until the
present tlmo no ono has taken hold of the
matter in the right way. Dr. Olasgow fig
ured on a hotel at Twenty-third nnd M
streets a year ago , but on account of lack
if interest In the affair the project was
dropped. Oradlng for the three-story addl-j
tlon to the Mack block Is now going on ,
but on account of the depth of the frost
progress up to this time haa been very slow ,
Mrs. Annie llowley will erect a Hat at
Twenty-fourth and K streets to cost $3,000.
The iron front for the new insor block at
Twenty-fourth and 'K streets has been
placed , but the plato glass has not arrived
and consequently there Is a delay In the
completion of the structure. At the 1'abst
building on N street , near Twenty-seventh ,
the foundations are being laid , but work
Is progressing slowly on account of the con
dition of the ground. Quite a number of
contracts have been let for buildings , but
construction will not bo commenced until
the frost is out of the ground.
At the Cudahy plant work Is progressing
as rapidly as possible on the new buildings ,
while at the Armour works the buildings
now under construction are being pushed
as rapidly as the weather will permit.
Swift nnd Company will make some Im
provements this summer , but on account of
the backward season the work has not been
commenced. Over at the Hammond house
the new smoke houses arc going ahead nicely
and It Is expected that they will bo com
pleted before warm weather sets in.
