Miss Forbes Is new to us, but comes with a recommendation of several years of suc cessful work in connection with the Nelll stock compsny on ths Pacific coast.

LOEB DISCOVERS NEW CURE Famens Detetor Says that Calctam Salts Will Destroy Hervoaa - DUa.e.. CHICAGO. Fsb. 13. Dr. Joseph H. Loeb has discovered that disease such as St. Vitus' dance, paralysis agltants, locomotor ataxia and 'sleeplessness can be cured by administering calcium salts, that is, such salts as ars found In well water and many foods. Announcement of this discovery by the former head of the department of phys iology at the University of Chicago has Just been made. In one of the decennial publications Just Issued by the university press Dr. Loeb tells of his sxperlments on lower forms of life and the conclusions suggested in regard to human beings. Simply stated, tha conclusion Is that 'the presence of calcium salts In the muscles Is what prevents their twitching; that practically all nervous diseases are caused by the absence of the calcium, and that, therefore, to restore normal conditions and effect a cure, a dose of calcium salts Is sufficient. MANSLAUGHTER IS VERDICT North Carolta Jary Flads Bishop ftallty After Tea Days' Caasidarattaa. CHARLOTTE, N. C, Feb. 22. Arthur L. Bishop, the traveling salesman charged with the murder of Thomas J.

POWERS DEMAND REFORMS FROM PORTE Raeela and Austria Sesal-Offlrtally Tell Saltan Christian Sabjeets Mast Ba Better Cared for by Moslem Ralere. VIENNA, Feb. 22. It Is reported that the Macedonian leader, Boris Sarafoft, has or ganized, within the paat fortnight, seversl well-equipped Bulgarlsn banda In Mace donia, each constating of about ISO men. The Neue Frele Preess learns that 4,000 armed Macedonlsns are concentrated near the celebrated Rile monastery, forty miles from Sofia, and are preparing to attack the town of Menllk, In the Turkish province of Seres. There Is sn unconfirmed rumor that the Albanlana have attacked the Rouman ian consulate at Mitrovltzs, Turkey, twenty miles northwest of Prlshtlr.a. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 22. The Aus trian and Russian ambassadors pressnted Identical memoranda to the porte on Sat urday embodying demands for reforms In Macedonia. They afterward acquainted the foreign minister of the step Uken. This course was adopted to give the proceedings a semi-official character. ' The chief proposal is the appointment of an inspector general with power to act In dependently and to requisition troops In cases of emergency. The plan also provides for the reorganization of the gendarmea and police under European instructors, for ad ministrative and financial reforms and for a more equitable collection o." taxes. These reforms do not affect the sultan's prerogative or wound the religious suscep tibilities of the Moslems. MORGAN IS A HARD FIGHTER (Continued from First Page.) constructed by this time but for tha fact that the attorney general Insisted upon more money and a more eommodlous sits, which he is certain to get. Ths bouse baa provided in a bill now pending in the sen ate for a new home for the Department of Agriculture and before that building la completed at least $2,000,000 will have been spent upon it. The District of Columbia Is to have a new home for its officials In a building to be raised on the most sightly location along Pennsylvania avenue and It Is quite probable that tha new Department of Commerce just created will bo provided with a homo of Its own through sn appro priation before the end of the Fifty-seventh congress. Besides this sn smendment Is pending to tha sundry civil appropriation bill In the senate, which, If It carriea, will make possible the erection of an adequate and appropriate building for the National museum, now housed la a veritable fire trap of a structure. The National musuem, established as a result of the Centennial exposition. In 187T, waa flrf4. looked upon as a aort of a toy, having no particular use, which might be pushed Into any convenient hole large enough to accommodate It. Since it was founded, however, collections of all sorts of valuabta relics and eorlos have been gathered together, which, should they be destroyed by firs, could never be replaced. Notable among them are the Washington and Grant relics. There sre collections of precious stones ard specimens of taxid ermy unexcelled In any museum In ths world. From a small. Insignificant collection the National museum has grown yesr by year, until It bids fair to rivs! the Brit ish museum within a very short period. So crowded Is the building at present, how ever, that hundreds of thousanda of dol lars' worth of material la packed away In boxea and Is absolutely useless. It would be unwise to extend the present building, because It Is constructed of mate rial inflammable to the hlgheat degree, and consequently the effort now being made to provide for a new structure is likely to be successful. If not by March 4, at least during the first session of tbs next congress. A rosy of Trained iervaate. Not one visitor In a thousand who comes to Washington snd who attends social functions has any Idea that there ia em ployed in the varloua executive depart ments a vast army of trained butlers, footmen and waiters, available at all times to aid Washington aoctety In entertaining lta guests. For twenty years past and per haps for a longer period, It has bsen the custom for retiring officials, such as cab inet officers, to provide their bouse ser vants with placea In the federal service Mr. Secretary Blank's coachman, for In stance, is made a messenger in tha depart ment over which he preaided. Mr. Post master General Brown's former footman now occupies a post as watebmsa In ths Postofflcs depsrtment, while the butler of Mr. Attorney General Robinson occupies a like position In the Department of Justice, It is an unwritten law that theae formor houss servants shs'l not be disturbed In their pieces because of a change in ad ministration and consequently there are be tween 300 and 100 men of this class per forming service in minor capacities in tie executive depsrtments. All thess men have their names registered on the books of ths leading caterers of Washington. Wbti ever a senator or cabinet offloer or anyone else In the social swim desires to gtvs a dinner party or any other function re quiring the services of extra servants, be notifies his particular caterer who sends up ths requisite amount of aoups snd terra pin and aalads, entrees, rossts and ices, and In addition, a sufficient force of trained men, well dressed and dignified in appear snce, to look sfter ths service. In this way Washington society Is furnished with a force of men who not only bear the stamp of respectability, but who thoroughly understand their duties. There is never a dearth of such employes, and during the winter season no man who haa had exper ience aa a house servsnt and who haa the recommendation of his former employer, needs to be without employment for five evenings out of seven of each week. Some of these men, the best of them, earn far more in this manner than they do from the government. Their noore In ofC.' are from to 4 and their average wages Is $60 a month. At night between the hours of t and 1 they are frequently paid 110 and in some instsnces aa high as $20, so that the department messenger with a good record as a house servant frequently earns, at least during :he winter, aa much or more than the chief of the bureau In which he serve.

Even In Its counterfeit presentment, it makes us dlny to look at the new build ing of the Farmers Drpostt Nstlonsl bsnk In Pittsburg. We hadn't believed thst there were so many windows In the world; snd ss for stories, neither Dumas, sr., nor Sylvsnus Cobb, Jr., had half so many. Is farm property as valuable In Pittsburg as In this town? It must be, or the Smoky City builders wouldn't scsle heaven as they do. Here Is a structurs taPer than the Hon.

Inell glblee Includes: Chiropodists, doctors, dentists, dress makers, msnlcurists. The appointments will be among ths finest In the country;" but what are ap pointments without a chiropodist or a man icurist? A great office building is supposed to provide sll the conveniences snd many of the luxuries. According to tbs Pittsburg Dispatch, most of the Pittsburg office buildings house all the professions forbidden above and others having largs clientele among ths fair sex." The Implication seems to be un favorable to the state of civilization fn Pittsburg and to suggest that only the women there take thought and care of their hands and feet. Doubless the Impli cation Is unjust. "The wom.n create con fusion in elevators snd annoy other tenanta Wilis Inquiries for this or that person, and It In the. desire of the officials to avoid this." See the misogynist swell snd strut. Women folks are always getting in the way. Only women folks ask foolish ques tions. Keep 'em out. They are a check upon manly freedom. They Interfere with expectoration and with the free flow of the Tahoo tongue. Ws don't mesn that this Is the view of the owner of the new build ing, but it is ths view of a great many men. "Stenographers snd clerks employed by occupants will be the only females" al lowed to have rooms In the Farmers build ing. Presumably these "females" are re garded aa a necessary evil for the present. Is sex taboo to be revived? Women are having their own hotels. They will hsve their own office buildings If the men get too exclusive. New York Sun. DIES TAKING EASE IN INN Vlrarlala Lamberman Shot by Land lady far Following Jonaon's Lead. BURKE, W.

DECLARES SPORT IS BEING ELEVATED Delegates Claim Alley Fiends Ara Now Flnalnar Host Recruits In Higher ' Classes, Halting- Bowllng Geattoman'e Game. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 22. Delegates to the American Bowling congress are arriv ing on every train. Fifteen hundred vis itors are expected, and one half that num ber Is already here. Representatives of Louisville, Cleveland and Milwaukee have been here all day to urge their claims for the next national congress. Chicago and New York came In this evening, the latter delegation being headed by Dr. Tlmm, Thomas Curtlss and Joseph Thumb. Mayor Bookwalter, president of the con gress, has surrounded himself with a local reception committee of two hundred which Is devoting Its time to receiving the ar rivals. Cleveland headquartera have been established at the Denlson and Louisville and Milwaukee are at the Grand. Mayor Bookwalter, ex-Maypr Taggart, Mayor Grainger of Louisville snd Mayor Rose of Milwaukee held a conference this afternoon, which waa attended by a num ber of prominent bowlers. There waa con gratulation over the fact that the congress this year baa brought an apparent spirit of compromise among the delegates, and it is believed there wlH be no split In the national organization. Short addresses made called attention to the high class of men the congress hss brought together. It was stated the delegates sre, as a rule, business men, and of higher grade than has generally attended former congresses. This waa taken as an Indication that the sport Is being elevated, and that bowling haa be come strictly a gentleman's game. The congress will meet tomorrow at 9, The adoption of a constitution will be the first business. It is proposed to change the constitution to make the basis of represen tation by states Instead of by tournaments, in order to recognize state organizations. As to the use of losded balls, President Bookwalter says the decision tomorrow will probably be a compromise allowing loaded balls, but limiting the weight to seventeen and one-half pounds. . "Ws have legislation as to size," he said, "and now we will fix the weight. Wooden balls weighing from twelve to fifteen pounds have been weighted to twenty and twenty two pounds. I think the result will be to allow any kind of wooden ball loaded If de sired up to aeventeea pounda. At the con gress this week loaded balls will have an advantage as the pins are all new, but a dlsadvsntage from the fact that the pins are three pounda two ounces Instead of three pounds four ovnees." The selection of officers and the place of the next congress will take place on Thurs day, Cleveland, Milwaukee and Louisville are after the congress. Milwsukee's claims will be presented by Charles F. Moll, who beads ths delegation. Louisville will be urged by Judge Thomas R. Cordon of that city. The executive committee met tonight and decided to limit the weight of the balls to sixteen pounds. This Is considered a com promise. Balls must bs of wood, but csn be loaded to sixteen pounds at the option of the player. A well favored proposition will coma up tomorrow for a chsnse In Ihe con stitution to bsvs the nstlonsl congress hereafter composed of one delegate from each team Instead of one delegate and two alternates from each league as the present congress Is composed.

You can't stop a fire if 6ome one keeps setting it ablaze as fast as you Leave pork, coffee, sweets and fat things alone. Drink plenty of pure water and milk. Keep the bowels open and the feet warm and dry. Don't expose yourself in damp weather. At night rub the ailing parts with Omega Oil. Use plenty of oil and plenty of rubbing. Dip a towel in hot water and wring out all the water you can. Then tie this hot towel over the sore place. After the towel cools, remove it. Then wipe off the moisture and put on more Omega Oil, covering it up for the night with a dry cloth. In the morning wash the place thoroughly clean, and rub on more Omega Oil. This treatment is the safest and surest known in medical circles. I have been troubled with Rheumatism every winter. Recently I had to 6 top work, because I had it so bad all through my body. I was told to try Omega Oil. I got a bottle and rubbed myself with it about a dozen times, and now the rheumatism is all gone.

WOULD CHANGE BALL LAWS Tom Lottos Wishes Plteher Leveled and Base Line Rldajes Abolished. CHICAGO, Feb. 22. Manager Tom Loftus of the Washington base ball team will propose aome changes in rules at the Joint meeting of the American and National league committee tomorrow. "I want the pitcher taken oft his pedestal and the ground keeper barred from playing the game," is the way he stated hla posi tion. "They have ben raising tha pitcher's box every year lately, until It la so high Oiat the people In the grandstand can't sea the rct of the infielJers and I want a law passed that will keep the pitcher's box even with the rest of the diamond. "Then I am against theae 'sewers' along the base lines. Some of the ground keepers have been using their shovels so hard and often that every bunt rolls fair, making the ground keeper'a ability more Important than that of the batter In maklnc hits. If I have my way I will havs all those ridges and tunnels abolished and the base lines kept level, as they should be. They did not have the ridges on the lines or any 'Judge's stand' pitcher's boxes when I wss In ths game snd I don't want any now." Loftus refused to make any direct state ment regarding the foul strike rule. It now seems probable that each league will support the rule under which it played laet aeuson. The American league Is understood to be unanimously In favor of the old rule, while some of the National league magnates lo not favor making a foul a strike.
