Perseverance in using this remedy is sure of its rewerd at last. Sooner or later the most stubborn blood dis- eases yield to AYER'S SARSAPARILLA. “For several years in the spring months I used to be troubled with adrowsy, tired feeling and # dull pain in the small of my back, so bad at times as to prevent my being able to walk, the least sudden moticn caus- ing me severe distress. Frequently boils and rashes would break out on various parts of the body.

ENGLISH, Montgomery City, Mo. “My system was all run down; my skin rough and of yellowish hue, I tried various remedies, and while some of them gave me temporary relief none of them did any permanent good. At last I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla, continuing it exclusively for a considera- ble time, and am pleased to say that it completely CURED ME. I presume my liver was very much out of order and the blood impure in consequence. I feel that I cannot too highly recommend Ayer's Sarsaparilla to any one afflicted as I was."—MRS. N. A.

T SWEEPING, Mr. Douglass Explains What the Com- missioners Hope To Do. The Commissioners have lately received many complaints from people all over the city regarding the dirty condition of the streets. Commissioner Douglass, in conversation with a Stax reporter today on this subject, said: Yes, the streets are dirtier than they ought to be, but for reasons that cannot be helped forawhile, The fund for the current year was $85,000 for sweeping all of the streets and alleys. Out of this had to be paid also all the inspectors and others employed by the District in connection with the work. On the Ist of April there was left of the appropriation for these purposes some 19,500 or about $6,000 per month, We ought to have not less than = $10,000 Ss per =s month ~— to do well. If the present bill for it | 1891 passes the House as amended by the Sen- ate we will have for the next year $100,000, With that a better state of things should be had. You see we are short and will be until the Ist of July. THE PRESENT CONTRACT. “You know,” continued Mr. Douglass, “that the street sweeping is being done under a five years’ contract, which will expire July 1, 1892, With the present state of the finances the con- | tractor cannot use all of his sweepers and will not be able to until July 1. Less thana dozen of the avenues and streets are swept daily; eight or nine tri-weekly; thirty- nine twice a week, and one hundred aud ten or one hundred and twenty weekly—all told about one hundred and twenty miles of improved streets besides the alleys. Our streets are smooth and white aud show the least dirt dropped on them, just as a tly speck will show on amirror much more than on a rougher surface, A peck of dirt distributed on Pennsylvania avenue will show more than a cart load would in the same space in an ordinary roadway. And another fact that is not thought of plays an important part. We do not see the streets just after they are swept, but hours after,when the new deposits of dirt are already on, The avenue at daylight is clean and sightly, while at 9 or 10 a.m. one-half of the ‘s dirt as already on in the nature of things. TO TRY THE PARIS SYSTEM. “‘After the new appropriation is had it is contemplated (not yet determined) to try the Paris system, at least on one street,to see how | that will work. That system is one of constant coliection by boys throughout the day as the cessity requires. It should be remembered that now is the time of the year when cellars and cuts for foundations are being excavated and the earth hauled over the streets, distributing con- siderable dirt in this way. In a conversation ely on the subject of sweeping with one of our officers I asked him whether the brooms of the machines were dropped low enough to catch the dirt well. He replied that the brooms | were down so low tliat they were worn out in | six or seven di while for years before the present contract the same sort of brooms would jast ten or twelve days. A BIG Jor, “The truth is that 120 miles of strects is an immense surface to sweep with nine or ten sweepers, all that we e been able to pa for so far, We asked Congress for the next year for $125,000. The House gave #90.000 the Senate raised it to $100,000. While we believe that our figure (125,000) was the proper amount we will do our best to get along with $100,000 and are anxious that the House should concur im the in- crease. If an improved condition does not ap- pear pretty soon after we get more money therefor we shall be ready for radical measures and have been thinking over some remedies in advance of such contingenc Convicted of False Pretenses.

Reval Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE ings of the Trial Board, Commissioner Hine having carefully exam- ined the evidence in the cases of the police- men of the second precinct who were recentiy tried for violating the police regulations in failing to report the character of the house oo- cupied by Griffin Reed on ith stroot northwest, called the attention of the other Commissioners to the matter today and said he was ready for a board session to finally dispose of the cases it question, Accordingly a board meeting wae held this afternoon and the findings of the trial board were approved, together with the sentence that Sergeants Davall and Conpolly and Private Moreland be dismissed, and Sergeaut Jones be admonished to use more care in the future im reporting the character of suspicious houses which came under his observation. Commismoner Hine Was not in favor of dismissing the men, but thought a heavy fine or reduction to the ranke should be imposed, but Col. Robert and Com- missioner Douglass thought that the exigencies of the case demanded prompt and strict ac- tion, so the board voted unauimously to carry out the findings of the trial board and dismiss the men, peta THE CIRCUS COMES TO TOWN, All Washington Takes a Holiday to See Barnum’s Show. It isa holiday in Washington today, for the circus has come to town. Barnum has captured the city, For hours before the procession was advertised to start the streets were crowded with merry-makers. The children were out swarms, with bappy faces, anticipating the treat, To those who had no prospect of going to the show the lot of those whose opportunity was assured appeared en- viable indeed. But even such com- aratively unlucky little ones had the renetit of the parade, pocket money or no pocket money, and a buge treat it was to them, to be talked of for many a long day to come, The parade did uot start until 11 o'clock, haif au hour late, owing to unexpected condi- tions. ‘There was no accident to any one of Mr. Barnum’s three traipx, as was reported this morning to have occurred, owing to a washout; but the mud was im the way. The grounds at North Capitol and M streets were a bog and the wagons got stuck so deep im it that elephants bad, in many cases, to be em- ployed to get them out At noon the plowin for the rings in the two big tents, which should have been done hours previously, was Still in progress and all was somewhat chaotic the benches noteven being up. But an hour and a half later everything was im readiness, The doors were advertised to be opened at 1 p.m.; but at 12:30 it wae thought that they would not be thrown wide until 1:30. The procession did not get back to the grounds uutil after 12.30 p.m, it did not in all its features quite satisfy Mr. Batley, owing to the hurry with which it had to be gotten up; but nobody else was otherwise than delighted that is certam, It is expected that Washingtonians will greatiy enjoy the “Nero” spectacle, which engages 700 men and women, Eighteen thousand people are expected to at- tend the circus here today, according to the estimate of the management, The circus ie fortunate in having gorgeous weather today, May it have an equally tine day tomorrow, Rango of the Thermometer Today.
