The United States lighthouse tender Holly, which came into port Thursday, re¬ placed the buoys marking the forks of the Georgetown and Washington channels, and sailed for Baltimore. She did not re¬ move the buoys which are under water off Alexandria and in the channel about midway between Alexandria and Wash¬ ington. Both these buoys are obstruc¬ tions in the river and pieces of timber have been fastened to them so as to show above the surface of the water, and prevent ves¬ sels from fouling them. It is stated that the lighthouse authorities have not been notified of the existence of these two hid¬ den buoys, and steps will at once be taken to send them notice. They will then be taken up by the lighthouse vessels and re¬ placed in proper position.

"I wasn't discussing politics when I was arrested Saturday night," was what Simon Booker, a colored man, alleged to be a democrat from Montgomery county, Md., declared to Judge Scott in the Police Court this morning, after being arraigned on a charge of alleged disorderly conduct near the corner of 7th and F streets northwest. "What were you doing?" the court in¬ quired. "I was talking with a friend about the continued high price of beef," Booker an¬ swered. Crossing Policeman Smith told the court that Booker was drunk and creating a dis¬ turbance, and refused to "move on" whtn told to do so. "What did he say when placed under ar¬ rest?" his honor asked the policeman. "He said he wouldn't argue with Judge Scott, because he was a republican," the officer responded. Booker has been In court several times for discussing politics in a boisterous man¬ ner. Judge Scott released him on his per¬ sonal bonds, being of the opinion that he had been punished sufficiently.

A weak stomach does not digest all that is ordinarily taken into it. It gets tired easily, and what it fails to digest is wasted. Among the signs of a weak stom¬ ach are uneasiness after eating, fits of nervous headache, and disagree¬ able belching. "I have taken Hood's Sarsaparllla at different times for stomach troubles, and a run-down condi¬ tion of the system, and have been greatly benefited by Its use. I would not be without It In my fam¬ ily. I am troubled with weak stomach and nausea and find Hood's Sarsaparllla Invaluable." E. B. HICKMAN, W. Chester, Ta.

A dispatch to the New York World from Paris says: The'.program of the new- ly-elected member# of the French parlia¬ ment being- now fully known through dec¬ larations and Interviews, it is possible to predict that the next four years will see some most interesting; legislation. Inter¬ esting not only 1b-this country but In the world at large. France doubtless will de¬ serve better than ever-the title of the first nation in the experimental ground of the new sociological ideas. The results of the second balloting show that the chamber of deputies will contain 38.'} members who favor all the republican and advanced ideas of the Waldeek-Rous- seau ministry and 1!« of all factions in op¬ position. Thus an overwhelming majority is certain for the government, except upon unforeseen issues which may carry away the votes of certain factions. The present majority is nearly double the average vote controlled by the ministry in the last cham¬ ber of deputies, despite the most terrific onslaught that was made upon republican Institutions by the clerical party, the aris¬ tocracy and the small merchant class com¬ bined. It was interesting to see how sharply Paris was divided. The rich districts re¬ turned twenty-seven nationalists opposed to all republican ideas, and the quarters elected twenty-six socialists, the most rad¬ ical of the republican factions. Not a sin¬ gle member of the moderate faction was elected. The report that Waldeck-Rousseau will retire is now confirmed. He takes this step upon absolute orders of his physicians. The next ministry will probably be organ¬ ized under the leadership of a bourgeois and will surely be composed of radicals and radical-socialists exclusively, which promises a period of lively reforms along the lines of the suppression of the religious associations, economies in the budget, an abrogation of the concordat with the pope, the establishment of a heavy income tax, a pension provision for aged workingmen, the rebuying of all railways by the state, a reduction of the forced military service from three to two or even one year, a re¬ duction of the nation's armament and the suppression of all forms of military courts.

"This woman was drunk and begging near the corner of 32d and M streets yesterday morning," Policeman ,i Davis explained in the Police Court today when Harriet Bird, colored, was arraigned on a vagrancy charge. "Your honor, I'd rather tell the truth than a story," Harriet declared. "The officer said you were drunk; what about that?" the court- asked. "It's not so. I had just got up and was on my way to the store to get something for breakfast," Harriot responded. 1 he court believed she was guilty and made an assessment of $5, with fifteen days on the farm as the equivalent EAUTIFUIL SKIM Soft White Hands and ir m mm Millions of women use Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cutloura Ointment, the gTeat eklu cure, for pre¬ serving, purifying and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales and dandruff and the Rtopplng of falling hair, for softening, whitening and soothing red, rough and sore hands, for baby rashes, itchlngs and chaflngs, In the form of baths for annoying Irritations and Inflammations, or too free or offensive perspiration.

Cuticura Soap combines delicate emollient prop¬ erties derived from Cntlcnra, the groat skin cure, with the purest of cleansing Ingredients, and the miist refreshing of flower odors. No other aiedl- eated soap ever compounded Is to be compared with It for preserving, purifying and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair anfl hands. No other foreign or domestic toilet soap, however expensive, is to be compared with It for all the purposes of the toilet, bath and nursery.

Condemned Murderer Takes Part in Religious Services at the Jail. Elijah Chapman's last Sunday on earth was not a quiet one, although It was ap¬ parently a satisfactory one to him from a religious standpoint. He had been attend¬ ed by the Rev. John Roberts, the evangelist, almost every day during the week, and had looked forward to yesterday's public ser¬ vice with more than ordinary Interest. The condemned man was among the first of the prisoners to reach the iron grating and take a seat on the steps from where he could hear and be heard. The colored evangelist had selected hymns which were appropriate for the occa¬ sion and Chapman's voice could be heard In the choruses above those of the other prisoners. "I am soon going to meet my God in heaven," he said when given an opportunity to talk, "1 have asked pardon for my sins. The Lord heard my prayer and I'm happy in His forgiveness." Continuing the condemned man said: "You all know why I am to leave you. It is because of the bad company I kept, men and women, drinking whisky, and gambling. I prayed to God to forgive me my sins, and He heard me and now I am ready to go to Him, for He has told me He will receive me.'' Chapman concluded his remarks by bid¬ ding the other prisoners good-bye. After the benediction w;is pronounced Chapman remained at the iron grating and shook hands with a number of those who had taken part in the services. The man who is to die next Friday still insists that when he cut Ida Simms he had no Idea of taking her life or even inflicting per¬ sonal injury. The wound, he declares, was the result of an accident. Despite this claim he was apparently anxious to enter a plea of guilty when the case was called, but the court refused to accept his plea. Counsel did not take his case to the Court of Appeals. Clear No. 1 Georgia Pine Flooring only $2.50, at 6th and N. Y. ave..Advt. His Father Besides Here. George A.

The National Republican Congressional League has adopted resolutions relative to the death of Justice Bradley, sitting forth that the deceased was a Christian gentle¬ man and able Jurist, a man who held the love and respect of both lawyers and lay¬ men. and that the league tenders to the family Its profound sympathy. In connection with the regular service yesterday morning ot the Eastern Presby¬ terian Church Rev. Dr. Easton referred to the death of Justice Bradley as follows: A brilliant light of the American bar has gone out. For moral probity, sterling in¬ tegrity and fearlessness to execute his con¬ victions few men have equaled Judge Brad¬ ley. His keen intuitions and sensitive at¬ tribute of justice and ability to link pre¬ mise to conclusion of subtle logic made him the upright Judge. He commanded the pro- found est respect from those who might differ from his decisions. <-"'lrist'an character was stainless. u:cvoilon to a" ,h0 interests of »«. m him an ornament hvtVr^L U u a plllar ln tho church.

New French Chamber of Deputies WillUndertake Man? Experiments.

A dispatch to the New York Worldfrom Paris says: The'.program of the new-ly-elected member# of the French parlia¬ment being- now fully known through dec¬larations and Interviews, it is possible topredict that the next four years will seesome most interesting; legislation. Inter¬esting not only 1b-this country but In theworld at large. France doubtless will de¬serve better than ever-the title of the firstnation in the experimental ground of thenew sociological ideas.The results of the second balloting show

that the chamber of deputies will contain38.'} members who favor all the republicanand advanced ideas of the Waldeek-Rous-seau ministry and 1!« of all factions in op¬position. Thus an overwhelming majorityis certain for the government, except uponunforeseen issues which may carry awaythe votes of certain factions. The presentmajority is nearly double the average votecontrolled by the ministry in the last cham¬ber of deputies, despite the most terrificonslaught that was made upon republicanInstitutions by the clerical party, the aris¬tocracy and the small merchant class com¬bined.

It was interesting to see how sharplyParis was divided. The rich districts re¬turned twenty-seven nationalists opposedto all republican ideas, and the quarterselected twenty-six socialists, the most rad¬ical of the republican factions. Not a sin¬gle member of the moderate faction waselected.The report that Waldeck-Rousseau will

retire is now confirmed. He takes thisstep upon absolute orders of his physicians.The next ministry will probably be organ¬ized under the leadership of a bourgeoisand will surely be composed of radicalsand radical-socialists exclusively, whichpromises a period of lively reforms alongthe lines of the suppression of the religiousassociations, economies in the budget, anabrogation of the concordat with the pope,the establishment of a heavy income tax, apension provision for aged workingmen,the rebuying of all railways by the state,a reduction of the forced military servicefrom three to two or even one year, a re¬duction of the nation's armament and thesuppression of all forms of military courts.

Condemned Murderer Takes Part inReligious Services at the Jail.

Elijah Chapman's last Sunday on earthwas not a quiet one, although It was ap¬parently a satisfactory one to him froma religious standpoint. He had been attend¬ed by the Rev. John Roberts, the evangelist,almost every day during the week, and hadlooked forward to yesterday's public ser¬vice with more than ordinary Interest. Thecondemned man was among the first of theprisoners to reach the iron grating andtake a seat on the steps from where hecould hear and be heard.The colored evangelist had selected

hymns which were appropriate for the occa¬sion and Chapman's voice could be heardIn the choruses above those of the otherprisoners."I am soon going to meet my God in

heaven," he said when given an opportunityto talk, "1 have asked pardon for my sins.The Lord heard my prayer and I'm happyin His forgiveness."Continuing the condemned man said:"You all know why I am to leave you.

It is because of the bad company I kept,men and women, drinking whisky, andgambling. I prayed to God to forgive memy sins, and He heard me and now I amready to go to Him, for He has told me Hewill receive me.''Chapman concluded his remarks by bid¬

ding the other prisoners good-bye.After the benediction w;is pronounced

Chapman remained at the iron grating andshook hands with a number of those whohad taken part in the services. The manwho is to die next Friday still insists thatwhen he cut Ida Simms he had no Ideaof taking her life or even inflicting per¬sonal injury. The wound, he declares, wasthe result of an accident. Despite thisclaim he was apparently anxious to enter aplea of guilty when the case was called,but the court refused to accept his plea.Counsel did not take his case to the Courtof Appeals.

f DEATH OF JUDGE BKADLEY.

Expressions of Hegret t>y Republican.Dr. East on's Comment.

The National Republican CongressionalLeague has adopted resolutions relative tothe death of Justice Bradley, sitting forththat the deceased was a Christian gentle¬man and able Jurist, a man who held thelove and respect of both lawyers and lay¬men. and that the league tenders to thefamily Its profound sympathy.In connection with the regular service

yesterday morning ot the Eastern Presby¬terian Church Rev. Dr. Easton referred tothe death of Justice Bradley as follows:A brilliant light of the American bar has

gone out. For moral probity, sterling in¬tegrity and fearlessness to execute his con¬victions few men have equaled Judge Brad¬ley. His keen intuitions and sensitive at¬tribute of justice and ability to link pre¬mise to conclusion of subtle logic made himthe upright Judge. He commanded the pro-foundest respect from those who mightdiffer from his decisions.
