SOR THE METROPOLI CHARTER. Arguments in the Suit for Forfeiture Concluded and Decision Reserved. The arguments in the hearing before Judge Bradley yesterday of the suit of the government against the Metropolitan Rail- road Company to forfeit its charter were concluded after The Star's report of the case closed, but the court reserved its de- cision. In their concluding arguments counsel for the company claimed that the be forfeiture proceeding was simply an effort upon the part of Congress to compel the @ompany to pay to the District a large sum of money for absolutely nothing. The com- pany had been set upon, too, because it had not so far been able to discover that which the Almighty seemingly only knew—the best way to run a railroad by electricity. The act of March 3, 1891, authorizing the forfeiture, the company’s counsel con- tended, had no parallel in the history of the country, and it would, they asserted, be a sorry day for the country when such an act was affirmed by the courts. pena Beaales Book sale at Sloan's, 1407 G street, Mon- day evening at 7:30 o’clock.—Advt. ——_ The Highest Awards—To the Largest House in the World.

LIMB RaW AS BEEF AND RED AS BEET. PAIX, BURNING AND ITCHING TERRIBLE. NOT FIVE HOURS’ SLEEP IN THREE DAYS. MAKES ONE APPLICATION OF CU- TICURA AND IN FIVE MINUTES IS ASLEEP. A REMARKABLE CASE. About two years ago I was confined to my room With a breaking out om my leg which my physician Pronounced Eczema. About three weeks ago the same disease broke out again on the same leg, and my physician bas been attending me regularly, call- ing from once to twice dafiy, the sores all the time getting worse. A friend called to see me and brought about one-half teaspoonful of CUTICURA, advising me to try it, telling of himself, brothers and mother having been cured by it. 1 would not try it at first, although I had been on crutches for ve and thirty suppurating sores, and bad not slept more than five hours tn three uights. Mon- day morning about 4 o'clock the pain, burning and iteling became so severe that I determined to try CUTICURA, thinking that if it did no good it could not make my leg much worse, for it was as raw as a piece of beef and as red as a beet; so I ap- plied the CUTICURA, and in five minutes after I lay down I was asleep. Next day I sent apd got & bor of CUTICURA, and I'll pledge my honest word I would not take $100 today for it, if I could hot get another. I commenced using CUTICURA Monday morning about 4 o'clock and today (Tues- day) my leg is nearly well, notwithstanding I had not walked a step without my crutches in two weeks. My gratitude to the man who first com- pounded CUTICURA {s profound. May God bless him. T. T. FRAZIER, South Boston, Va. CUTICURA WORKS WONDERS. Sold throughout the world.
