PROSCRIPT AGAINST NAUSEATING DOSES WHICH MAKE MARTYRS OF US ALIn Sovereign achievements in medicine.—First.—The concentration of the easential properties of fruits and plants to a cathartic dose corresponding in bulk with that of pills and disagreeable medicinos. Second.—The entire abstraction, by chemical manip- ulation, of the griping principles always present in fruits and plants for laxative uses. Third.—The production of s real aperient, at once wholesome, pleasant to take, efficient, and economical; one that serves all the purposes of nauseous purgatives, without leaving any of their bad effects, and which is relishable and delicious to all tastes. ‘These remarkable laboratory achievements, which sup- ply a long-needed desideratum, are embodied in the newly-revised Tropic-Fruit Laxative Lozenges, eacn lozenge equal in strength and effect to a dose of pills or other nauseous purgative medicine, withoutany of their unpleasant reminders and depressing after-effects. ‘Tropic-Fruit Laxative comsrves quantity and the highest degree of quality and efficiency at a low price, and it is unquestionably cheaper, more agreeable to take, and more certain in its action than pills, mineral | waters, aperients, and other like preparations. A bonus of $1,000 is offered for the detection of any particles of mineral or other injurious ingredient in its composition. ‘Tnorro-Frurr LaxATIve, as described above, isto be had in 25 cent boxes only, with the word REVISED printed over trade mark on label. Ask for, examine, and take no other. Try it once, and if not satisfactory, the purchase money will be returned. NOTICE TO OLD PATRONS. The highly perfected Troric-Frurr Laxative Lo- zenge, of concentrated size, which is now being intro- duced, represents the same medicinal strength as former large lozenge, with the advantageous differences of less bulk, 50 per cent more for the money, and an improved preparation in the several particulars described above. The box remains the same in size and appearance as heretofore, with the addition of word REVISED printed over trade mark on label to distinguish it from the old kind. Such REVISED TROPIC-FRUIT LAXATIVE is packed in 25 cent boxes only.

A BLUE OUTLOOK. “when will there be additional night sesstons for the constdef&tion of the Distriet municipal code?” asked a Srar representative of Mr. Neal, the chatr- man of the House District committee to-day. * “TI don’t know. It is not my purpose to ask for such sessions. Mr. Haskell, of Kansas, who has antagonized the code with a feature for mixed schools, will not withdraw hisamendment. What 18 the ‘use of night sessions? We cannot get a quorum, and if Mr. Haskell 13 yoted down he will insist that a quorum 13 not present and then an adjournment 1s foreed. He has told me if 100 members are present to vote he will not insist upon a quorum; but we cannot get 100 members to attend. Until the Distriet committee ts given spe- cific days the interests of tiis District, So far as legislation is concerned, are tied up.” “But the committee onrules have agreed to give the District two days in each month?” “Yes; I_know they have. but there ts trouble to get the report of the commities on rules adopted. he democrats are opposed to some of the posed Changes. As { understand it, the republican members of the committee have decided to stand or fall with all the proposed changes. and if the Move to change the rules fails, why the proposi- tion. for District days fails also.” “Will they not single out the District proposition ‘and pass it on its own merits?” “No, as I understand the matter they will not. The republican members will stand together for the adoption of all the proposed changes or let all go. I wish they would report the District propost- tion singly. I know the House would pass it As the District committee now is situated it cannot go ahead, and unless the committee on rules will change its plan, I see but little hope for the fu- ture. 6 The Water Supply Question. MAJOR TWINING TO CHAIRMAN HARRIS, ‘The following explains itself: “ENGINEER DEPARTMENT, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, Washington, March 10th, 1882. Hon, Isham @. Harris, U.S. Senate: Sir:—I tind in the report of the committee on the water supply astatement which fs calculated to mislead in regard to the actual amounts of water which can be delivered at different levels in case the water works should be carried to com- pletion as recommended by your committee. The error has arisen from a misapprehension of the table of discharges, which Is given in the Commis- sloners’ report of 1879, and which refers only to the | relation of the proposed new reservoir to the pres- | ent distributing reservoir. ‘The language of the Commissioners’ report 1s as follows: ‘Assuming that the reference of 145 feet above the tide for the water surface of the distributing reservoir Js maintained, this conduit will bring to the city atthe site of the new reservoir, the following quantities of water per diem, viz: At M4 feet above ude. “ y oe 5 | “ j 178,000,000 Now I do not suppos that the level of the water In the distributing reservoir can be maintained at 145 feet for a dally delivory, and in considering the delivery of more than 69,000,000 of gallons, and In constdering the delivery ‘of the entire conduit, all the lands given In the tabie for quaatities greater than that, must be reduced se as to correspond with the levels actually maintained in the distribu- ting reservoir. The report of the committee should be modified so as to conform to the conditions as I have stated taem, as otherwise a serious misun- derstanding as to'the level of delivery may result. Tt is hardly necessary to say that large differences in such calculations, amounting to as much as 20 per cent, may arise from the uge of different form- Was. Very respectiully. WJ.

It is as follows: “Whereas, in the Bishop's ad- dress to the last general conference the following sentiment was expressed: “It has been our judg- Ment in general that it is not wise to chanye an elder from one district to another during the four years terin;” and, whereas the general conference took, upon that portion of the address, thr follow Ing action: “That the committee on’ Episcopacy having had under consideration that portion 0° the Bishop's address relating to tue aduiintstra- tion in regard to appointing presiding elders, recommends the foliowing resolution for adop- tion: Resolved, That we approve the suggestions Of the bishop's address, that the same men shall not be kept in the office of presiding elder for more than four years consecutively, but we do not think it should be recognized as a rule In regard to which, there shall not be exceptions:” therfore: Resolred,” While we recognize It as a principle of ourehuret economy that the presiding elders are to be ap- xpense of the mission’to bx 2. ation of Oxford appointment, stituted a station, was de nge not being expedient Godly judgment, and whi, further, we shall ac- cept obediently and trustiully the decision of the bishop now presiding over this session of the Bal- timore conference, we do most respectfully but urgently request him to respect In making up these appointments the above sentiment of the church, expressd through the highest authority. Rev. W. 8. Edwards, presiding elder of the Baltt- more district, moved the adoption of the paper. Rev. Job A. Price, presiding elder of the West Baltimore district, who meniber of the Gen- eral Conference, ahd a member of the committee 0 _reported ‘the resolution in question, also fvored the paper. Rey. J.B. Van Meter asserted that {twas the almost universsl sentiment of the members of thls conference that presiding elders should not be appointed until after an Interval of four years, and it was the sentiment of the church as « pressed in the action of the general conference. A Similar paper has been adopted by the Penasylva- nia central conference. Rey. James M. Brown sald he could not see, be- fore God, why any of the present presiding elders should be continued In office. ALM. hay thought it would be impolitic to presiding elders.

Edwards, Joli Lanah: and others. “Mr. Lanahan siid that the conierence would put its foot upon stabbing a man in the dark, when they understood it. "A few brethren had gotten together and went around log-roliing. ‘This language was objected to, and Dr. Lanahan was called to order by several members of the conference. Mr. Lanahan sald that when he stood upon clear grounds he was not afraid to stand alone. Mr. Carroll charged that the words used by Dr. Lanahan of “stabbing a man in the dark” and “og rolling” were Indécorous. e Bishop ruled that Dr. Lanahan had notmen- tioned the name of any minister of the conference, and noone had aright to appropriate what was ‘sald to himself. Rev. A. H. Ames argued that when aman had filled the responsible office four years It was best for him and best for the church that he should re- Yertto the pastoral office. Mr. Ames offered as a substitute for the latter part of the resolu- tion offered by Mr. Van Meter and others, request- ing the bishop “not to Feappoint any man to the eldership who has been tn the office four consecu- tive years past.” The substitute was incorporated, and the paper adopted.

There ts nothing that excites greater Interest In some elrcies than a church scandal. Recently one has uppeared in the courts here that will afford food for thought for this class for weeks. This 1s the suit agatnst Bishop Hare, of the Eplscopal chureh, for libel, brought by tae Rev. Samuel D. Hinman, who has been a missionary to the oux Indien. If the chargesare trae the Rey. Mr. Hin- man is adangerous sort of a missionary wo send out. The plaintiff is about forty years old, has a round face, a brown beard and an unctious compla- cent stifle. Bishop Hare 1s a grim, austere look ing man, who has the appearafive of beIng unre- lenting. The two sit almost touching each other, and yet as unconscious of each other apparently as if they were miles apart. The Rev. Mr. Hine man 1s charged wit having been intoxicated sev- times. “As bad as this 15, he Is said to have becn guilty of improper conduct with white women and Indlan women, even betraying young gins of the mission. | ‘These | charges | were Written ina pamphiet prepared by Bishop Mare. Itis claimed by the Rev. Mr. Hinman that there was arivalry between himself and the bishop In re- gard to an appolatment to a missionary bishopric, and that his persecution began a few months after the appointment. of Mr. Hare was received. Ac- cording to Mr. Hinman’s statement as been he tried and acquitted of the changes contatned tn the pamphlet. ‘The suit is to recover $200 damages. Considerable Interest 18 manifested’ by Eptscopal clergymen here tn the trial. It is cle by the defence that the Rev. Mr. Hinman can be proved to be a very bad man and altogether out of place in a missionary Neld—a wolf in a tock of Lambs in fact. A FIELD DAY IN WALL STREET. Yesterday will be long remembered as a field day on Wall street for false rumors. The ways of the broker are dark and deep, and his mind ex- tremely bright. He will. do anything to save him- self from a fall, but he falls at the rate of about a dozen a day all the year round. It would be rid! ulous if IU was notso pitiable.

"Ali three rumors were enurely untrue, and were gotten up by stock- jovbing thieves for tuetr own ends. “The young rokers of course were the sufferers.

MR. BENNETT AND MR. ASTOR. The gossips have again married Mr. James Gordon Bennett. It isn’t a Russian princess or Mrs. Langtry, aiter her divorce 1s granted, or the ex-Empress Kugenie, or even a poor girl studying artin the galleries of Rome, this time. It ts a prominent society girl hete, whose name need not be lugged into the papers, as her family have in- dignantly dented the report, coupled with the re- mark that Mr. Bennett fs not on their visiting Itst. ‘The fatigued and weary-looking, but good- natured, editor of the Heraid has been married so oiten by the gossips that he must begin to feel uite a Benedict froin the force of constant itera- jon.
