DONT GET IN: A SjWEAT Perspiration sweat 4s what the Bible and we common people call it is a way nature has of driving tut of the body refuse that has no business there. We sweat more in summer, because, in the overheated bowels, undigested food ferments morp Quickly than in winter and produces irritating acids and gases.

The bowels, overworked, try to relieve themselves by violent convulsions) causing terrible gripes and colics, and diarrhoeal discharges soacid as to make you sore, and leaving the intestines weak and worn out. Nature assists body-cleaning by sending the filth out through the pores of the skin. It is not safe to stop perspiring altogether but most of the impure matter should be sent out by natural movements of thd bowels, and the offensive, ill-smelling, linen-staining sweat done away with. Keep your bowels strong all summer with the pleasant, candy cathartic CASCARETS, that clean the system and dont allow the excrement to be sweated out through the pores- Take a tablet every nightbefore going to bed. They work while you sleep and make you feel fine and cool all day.

To one of these he said that he had not been fairly treated hy the Commissioner, and that the charges which had been made against him, and-upon which he was tried, didn't warrant dismissal. "To 'break' me." the ex-raptain eafd, "wasn't a fair deal. I've hern many years in the department, and m.v record was always good." It was learned to-day that some of the close friends of Reardon would stand by hint, and have his case taken to the courts. These very men who still stand by him were the ones who implored him.

'The following is the text of the memorandum which Colonel Partridge filcgj in dismissing Captain Reardon: "After carefully considering the evidence in this case, I find that on numerous occasion in 19l and 1902 Captain Reardon failed to make certain entries in the blotter, as required hy Rule 5, Paragraph E. of the rules and regulations of the department. That he directed and permitted blank spaces to be left in the blotter by officers under his command.

Paragraph J--of the rules and Vegulations of the department, but signed hv some other person. That on May 9. 1902.

he made a false statement to Deputy Commissioner Ebstein with intent to deceive. "My judgment, is that Captain Reardon is guilty of the first charge neglect of duty and of the aeeonftr-harge conduct unbecoming of an officer. The evidence doe not fully snstain the third charge and of that 1 found hint not guilty. The commanding officer against whom sneh serious charges are elearly proven cannot command the confidence and respect of his subordinates nor can he maintain discipline and efficient police dnty in his precinct. I recommend that he be dismissed from the force.

Limdenthal Wu Not Pleated wltk 'tko Publicity Given Blackwell'i Iiland Bridge Story.

Comroistionor Lindenthal motive for Stinging the 'plane of the Williajnsbtirg Bridge and the two other bridges under construction is gradually coming to light, and an interesting story in regard to a number of happenings in the Bridge Department la It wag learned to-day on reliable authority. from a member of a firm which does a good dial of work for the Bridge there are to be changes in the anchorage and other piers of the new Mu stern District hridge. which will cost the city more than the amount es-timated under the old plans. These changes are to lie principally hrcliitecturaina-tnre. There is to he fancy out stone work and other things, in place of the rather plain design originally intended, and the changes, if carried oat according to the new plans, will cost the- mount named above.

In connection this' change there is another interesting development concerning the consulting architect, who was recently appointed to the department. It was stated' mi excellent authority to-day that np to the present time there has been but one contract entered 'into between the architect anil tae city, and this contract is fhr the 'changes on the Williamsburg bridge, and tie fee of is to be derived from that structure. Contracts for ilia ages in the other bridfes will probably be ill a shoit time, rtitt) the fee for, these will, of course, he In addition to the $13,000 allowed on Bridge No. 2. The im-' invasion given out at the Bridge Department when the appointment of the architect was discovered, was that he would not receive more than $13,000 for all the work he might do in conneetiongdth all of the bridges now under way.

According to contract, be is to receive a fee of 5 per cent, of the phyis of his that the city accepts. Here there is an interesting coincidence. The changes are to cost in rqjind numbers, $200,000, Five per cent, of $200,000 is $13,000. This fee is small in comparison to what the fees on the other bridges may amount to. Work on the Williamsburg bridge has progressed so far that extensive changes in the plans cannot be made.

The towers and cables are'practieally completed, and work on the suspended structure will soon so it is too late to make any changes in the plans-for that part 'of the work. The anchorage piers, however, are still incomplete, because the work of handing the cables has not been finished and the contractors cannot go ahead with the masonry, work of the anchorages until the cable machinery ig removed. With this smgll field of operations, however, a way has been found to let the architect draw his maximum fee. Talking the Williamsburg Bridge as a basis it can be. readily seen that the fees for changes on the other bridges which are nowhere 'near completion, may run up to a princely amount.

It is qtated that one of the reasons why Commissioner I.indenthal had the plftns changed was to humiliate Mr. Buck, because the latter early in the year entered objection to radical changes being made in origjnal plans for the bridges. To add to the humiliation, Mr. Buck was not even consulted with regard to thd changes on the bridge under bis charge He is nominally the eonsulting engines of the Williamsburg ridge, but from all that can be learned he is never consulted about anything. The new plans were drawn by Architect Hornbostel and submitted to Commissioner Lindenthal tor approvsl.

When Mr. Buck learned what wit going on he stated that he' thought his wishes should have been consulted. Commissioner-Lindenthal applied to the Corporation Counsel for an opinion and was advised that the approval of the Commissioner was all that was necessary so far as the Bridge Department was Concerned. Mr. Buck was ignored -and has to watch the plans being changed without being able to' raise his voice against the action.

The proceeding las ayonsed a great deal of feeling and it j' understood that Mr. Buck feels the alight deeply. That ia the sentimental side, hut there is an ngly story of tho practical side which may throw tome light on the reasons why Mr. Hornbostel was selected as consulting architect of the department. According to the story, Mr.

Lindenthal wtied he was preparing plans for the North River Bridge that the Pennsylvania Railroad proposed building, had Mr. Hornbostel attend to the architectural features of the structure. As is well known, tho North River bridge never became snything more than a paper bridge. It is understood that in the near future new contracts. or agreements will bo'mide with the architect whereby he rill get a fee for changes on tha other bridges.

It was learned to-day that the publicity given to tha proposed changes on the Blackwell's Islsnd bridge did not meet with the approvsl of Commissioser Lindenthal and as a result there are stones to the effect that the amended plans will not be submitted to tbe Municipal Art Commission unless the Mayor or the Board of Aldermen take tha matter-in hand and reqnest the Art Commission to act. Section 637 of the charter beam on the point, but the wording ia not clear and there ia some doubt aa tp whethet the section requires that the plsns be submitted to the Commission. Bysn ft Parker, who were ordered by the Commissioner to stop work on the piers of the Blackwells Island bridge, and refused, have the contract for the masonry work on he anchorages of the Williamsburg bridge and they are not at all elated over the changes in tha plana. The crisis in thia case, however, will not be reached for a month or six weeks or nntil tha cable work is completed and the apparatna taken away. Then the whole question will be brought np and some interesting developments are expected.

Woman Who Attempted Suicide Will Probably fe ecover. BROOKLYN. WELL-KNOWN IN A Relative! Spend the Entire Morning the Girl's Bedside in Belle V' vue HoapitaL Mystery stilt surrounds the attempted suicide of Miss Katherine Ralston Fisher, recently of this borough, which occurred on the East River yesterday afternoon. Though the young Woman is progressing favorably at the Bellevue Hospital, no questions have Keen asked of her regarding her deed, for fear of injuring her chances of recovery, and she has volunteered no information. Her family state that they art absolutely in the dark on the subject, and can form no suggestion as to the probable cause of her -set.

-The only theory which haa been put forward is that of her employer, Secretary Derine. of the Charity Organization Society, that the young woman, who is nervous and high-strung, was temporarily unbalanced hy the hot weather. The attempt at suicide was not premeditated. Misa Fisher, who is a member of a well-known Brooklyn family, is librarian of the Charity Organization Society, at Fourth avenue and Twenty-second street, Manhattan. Up to four moiube'ago she lived with her parents in thisnorough.

Since then she has boarded at No. 13 East Twenty-second street, Manhattan, near her work. "She left her desk at the library yesterday afternoon, at 1:30 oclock, and purchasing a bottle of paregoric at a drug store, hoarded the ferryboat Texas at the foot of Twenty-third street. When the host. was a short distance from the dock the young woman drank the paregoric and jumped into the water.

She was rescued by Emil Johnson, of the steam yacht Seneca, which happened to be passing. Johnson jumped into thprtVafer after her, and held her until a bout could be lowered to his assistance from tbe yacht. Tbe young woman was taken to the Bellevue Hospital, and id'enti-ped by a card which she left on the ferryboat. The Fisher family is well known in Brooklyn, and njany of their friends were shocked to-day on hearing, the news' of the daughter's action. The family is composed of Mr.

and Mrs. Francis D. Fisher and three daughters. They formerly resided on Grand avenue. At present Mr.

and Mrs. Fisher are hoarding at No 155 Remsen street, the married daughter is living at Atlantic City, N. and the other daughters are boarding near their place of work. The members of the family have for many years attended the First Pnitarian Church on Pierrepont street, a church- which haa many wealthy and aristocratic members. The three young women, all of whom are handsome, are very popular with the church people.

Only nine days before she attempted her life, Miss Katharine Fisher attended service at the church with her father. The latter is an engineer, and is employed by the Degnon-McLenn Contracting Company to take charge of the work on one section of the subway construction. At the hospital this morning it- was stated that unforeseen complications, Miss Fisher. would recover. The young woman's mother, who was much affected hy what had occurred, spent the morning at the hospital, and much of the time at her daughter's bedside.

She was accompanied hy Miss Sarah Jenney Gilbert, the fiancee of a cousin of the Fishers. To a ''Citizen reporter, Mrs. Fisher said: "I cannot imagine the cause of my daughter's action. She was happy and had a pleasant position. The evening before this happened fche spent with me.

talking over, her plans for her vacation. She was to leave on her vacation in. three weeks, and was looking forward to her outing with much pleasure. I have not dared to question her for fear of exciting her. CAPTAIN REARDON DEPARTS.
