Very soon after taking AYER'S Sarsaparilla the humor disappeared, the cure being complete. As blood purifier I consider that AYER'S Sansarartra Stands at the head of the whole catalogue of such preparations, especially when used in connection with AYER'S Pills.” “There can be no question as to the superiority of AYER’S Sarsaparilla over all other biood purifiers, If this was not te case the demand for it, instead of in- creasing yearly, would have ceased long ago, like 80 many other biood medicines I could name."—F.

Hoping you have ® prompt and regular collection at your: residence and also that you will use your best endeavors to exiend the same results toall your friends,” &c. STREET CAR SUGGESTIONS. Mr. Roberdean Buchanan has written a long letter to the Commissioners suggesting certain regulations for the government of street cars. He urges among other things that the Washington and George- town railrond be compelled to stop for pastengers and take them ou and off, allowing sufiicient time therefor. He enys that the com- pony thould be made to receive auy well-ve- wed passenger and it should be made a mis- demeanor if it fails to do so. F. J. Hart of the Corchran Hotel writes to the Commissioners today that a man jumped off a cable car last nizht and walked around the end of the car into «am» her car and bad bis head cut open. Air. isart in concluding his letter says: “Cannot reason and common seuse be ap- plied to this matter and danger be removed by stopping ears where they bewong on tne cross ing before damage is doue instead of after? The mayors of Phiindelpiia and Ciacinrati, in response to a request from the Commis sioners for the rules in force in their cities regulating the stoppage of ‘street ears, say that all ears are require to stop on the far side of the street. In Philndeiphia the trolley cars are compelled to stop at the near crossing, and the mayor of Cincmnati ex- plains that the reason for stopping the cars on the far mde of the street is that they do not ob- truet travel, as they certainly would do if etopped on the near mide.

The War Department is informed that Capt. Charles F.

Tue persons involved in this rumor : “That no | are Secretary Herbert of the Navy Department ereet extending no farther than from | and Mrs. Manning, widow of the 5 of the Treasury under Mr. Cleveland's first ad- inistration, Secretary Herbert is a widower and the honors of his house are now any plan (for extension of streets) adopted, or | fou? Ui, ie, daughter, | Miss Jila Her- anything done under and by virtue of this act.’ Mr. Moses contends that Le Roy place is a “place or street exteuding from one principal street to another,” and that being paved with asphalt it stands in the way of the extension of Connec.icnt avenue. By reference to the map of the locality it will be secn that Le Roy place does not extend from oue “principal street to another.” It extends from Columbia road to Phelps place. If Columbia road could by a forced coustrnetion be deemed “a principal street,” Within the meaning of the sutute, it seems to me that Phelps place, which is a ‘narrow way only partly improved and not in alignment | with any of the city streets, could not, at least | ith any show of reason, It seems to me the words “from one prin- vision of themscives indicate at least that streets of the first magzitade and not streets of minor or secondary importance are meant.
