~~ « Disease is an effect, not a cause. Itsorigin fs within; its manifestations without. Hence, to cure the disease the cause must be removed, and t1 no other way can a cure ever be effected. Warner's SAFE Cure is established on just this principal. It realizes that 95 PER CENT. of all diseases arise from deranged Kidneys and Liver, and it strikes at once at the root of the difficulty. Th elements of which Itiscomposed act directly upon these great organs, asa food and restorer, and, by placing them in @ healthy condition, drives disease and pain from innumerable troubles caused by the system. For the anhealthy Kidneys. Liver and Urinary Organ: for the distressing Disorders of Women; for Nervous Affections, and physical derangements generally, this great remedy has no equal. Its Past record is a guarantee for the future. : WARNER'S SAFE CURE CO., konaon, Rochester Melbourne Frankfort, Toronto,Paris. THE CARROLL INSTITUTE. Its Dramatic Club Scores a Success in ‘Two Pinys.

REPORT ON GRADE CROSSINGS ADOPTED Other Recommendations to Cor- gress Concerning Local Matters. LAST NICHT’S MEETING The Washington board of trade held cne of the shortest meetings in its history last night at Builders’ Exchange Hall, but trans- acted considerable business. There was a good attendance of the members. The meeting was called to order by Pres- ident Woodward at » and Secretary John B. Wight proceeced to read the min- utes of the last meeting, a motion of Mr. Hume to have the reading suspended being objected to. Mr. Woodward having an- nounced the order of business, Mr. R. Ross Perry took the floor as chairman of th special committee created January 17 to consider the various propositions coming under the collectiv2 head of the bond and street extension bills. The committee reported that after due deliberation it had come to the conclusion that in view of the present situation it re- quires more tims and inforination in order to pregure a proper report upon the sub- ject of street and sewer extension, and it cordingly asked for more time in which © procure such additional information. With respect to, the subject of sewage disposal and protection against floods, the committee recommended that what is com- monly called the bond bill be amended. Thé bill alluded to was introduced by Mr. Procter in the Senate December 3, and was entitled “A bill to provide for the system of trunk sewers in the District of Columbia; for completing the system of sewage Cisposal, and protection against floods, and for other purposes.” The original bill authorized the District Commissiciers to »roceed with the work of continiing the system of trunk sewers in the District, and to proceed with the work of completing the system of dispesal and protection agairst floo PI d that bonds to the amount of MOO, bearing date January 1, 18% payable fifty vears after date, and bearing interest at the rate of 3 per cent per an- num, be Issued for the purpose of prosecut- ing the work. The committee recommend- ed that the bill be amended so that it shotld only provide for completing the system of sewage disposal and protection against floods in accordance with the plans recommended by the board of sani- tary engineers in the'r report to Congress upon the sewerage in 180, and providing for the Issuance of $3,350,000 of the bonds described to pay therefor. After the report was read Mr. Perry said that the full committee had held several meetings, at which all the matter intro- duced in the bill had been carefully con- sidered. Then a subcommittee, consisting of Messrs. Mattingly, Worthingion and himself, had been appointed to examine still further into the question. This committee had a consultation with missioners Truesdell and Powell, which oc- cupied an entire evening, and as a result of all this consideration it was unani- mously decided by the full committee that it would be absolutely impossible to submit any definite plans for street or sewer ex- tension at this time, and therefore the committee desirea more time for the pur- pose. Regarding the necessity for imme- diate provision of proper fa: s for the disposai ef sewage and protection against floods as immediate the committee had unanimously determined to urge instant action. So far as he had known there had never been a enting i board of trade against the carr: the plans of the sanitary commission, made in 189, which were to be followed in the contemplated improvement by the ed bill presented with the repert, and he Was sure every citizen in Washington and every newspaper would unite to urge upon Congr the adoption of the Dill. The report of the committe was adopted vnanimously withont iscussion, and on motion of Mr. Perry the hoard of directors of the board of trade was directed to im- y urge upon Consress the Leccs- ing the amended bill. The Long Bridge Must Go. The committee on rivers and harbors was called, and the chairman, Mr. C. B. Church, said that all he desired to ask was that the board would approve the annual report of the committee submitted some time ago. Secretary Wight read the report, which has been heretofore published in The Star. It recommended that efforts be made to secure from Congress a liberal appropriation for continuing the harbor improvement as originally contemplated; that efforts’ be made to secure an appropriation to com- mence the work on Anacostia river between its mouth and the Navy Yard bridge; that Congress be urged to compel the Baitimore and Potomac Railroad Company to build a ¢ on the site of the present Long 3 out of , in accordance with the plans pre- pared by the engineer department, and that as soon the dredging in the Washington and Virzinia channels below the bridge shall be completed, section 3 be tarned over to the commissioner of public buildings and grounds, to be laid out and beautified as a park. In speaking of the Long bridge, the com- mittee’s report said: “This terrible detri- t:ent to the harbor improvement is still in existence, awaiting the combined efforts: of the citizens of Washington and Congress to have ft replaced with a suitable structure, that will prevent an overflow of our city at times of freshets, and that will give all rail- roads uninterrupted trackage on it, as orig- inally Intended, and so unite all the re- claimed land into one beautiful and exten- sive park, entirely free from all grade cross- ings.” Mr. Lambert addressed the board and called attention to the recommendation for the removal of the Long bridge and the construction of a new one. He re- viewed what had been accomplished in ashington In the pust twenty years in overcoming obstacles to community prog- ress, and pleaded with his hearers to con- centrate their efforts in behalf of securing the removal of the Long bridge, also to argue for the most comprehensive system of improvements of the Eastern branch, so that men-of-war, if necessary, might enter it, and its miasma-breeding pestilential flats reclaimed as thoroughly as those on the Po- tomac were eventually to be. The report was Uhanimously adopted. Action on Grade Crossings. President Woodward then called for the report of the committee on railroads, and Chairman Hume responded, stating that the committee had made certain recommenda- tions in regard to grade crossings, and re- avested Mr. Lambert to read the report. It was the document submitted at the an- nual meetin; with some additions. He stated that the committee had worked as- siduously with Congress and-the Commis- sioners to secure abolition of the grade er ngs, but had not allowed itself toa enter into any examination of the merits of the various schemes proposed for the purpose. The best way was to approach the necessity on a broad plane, and conse- quently the Commissioners had drawn up a bill, which was now before the Senate, pro- viding that all grade crossings in the Dis- trict must be obliterated by January 1, 100. The committee highly approved this bil. Dr. A. P. Fardon moved that. the com- mittee’s report be adepted, and made some pleasant remarks about the fidelity with which the gentlemen had done their work. The report was then adopted. Other Business Transacied. Mr. R. A. Phillips introduced a resolution recommending that the board of trade be directed to impress upon Congress the necessity of having the constitutionality of the act of 1846 which returned to Vir- ginia the portion of the District of Columbia originally ceded by that state tested in the Supreme Court of the United States. The resolution was referred to the board of di- rectors, after a motion to have a special committee appointed was voted down. Before adjournment attention was called to the celebration of Washington's birth- day in the public schools, and Gen. Ellis Spear, chairman of the committee on pub- lic schools, explained its character. ‘The high schools will hold their exercises to- morrow afternoon, and the graded schools on Friday. There will be another meeting of the board next Tuesday, when the subject of public health ami its protection will be considered. Dr. Busey, who as chairman of the committee on public health has taken great interest in this vital question, has secured several distinguished authorities to make addresses on that evening. Among the other gentlemen present at the meeting last night were W. Riley Deeble, Thad. M. Tyssowski, J. H. Frizzell, J. H. Ralston, J. W. Scmerville, Frank Hume, Samuel W. Curriden, W. H. Rap- ley, J. Harrison Johnson, Capt. Duncklee, Gen. Hazen, Wm. F. Mattingly, W. C. Dodge, A. M. Read, Dantel Murray, Frank L. Hanvey, C. C. Glover, J. J. Darlington, John Joy Edson, Gilbert Moyer, Charles J. Bell and Henry L. Biscoe. ——— PENSION FEES. Judge Cox Decides an Interesting Point Today. An interesting point in the administration of the law relating to the fees of pension attorneys was decided by Judge Cox in Criminal Court No. 2 yesterday afternoon in the case of Joseph W. Howell, charged with demanding and receiving an illegal fee for prosecuting a pension claim. it was claimed by the government that one William Karger, the 50th of Novem- ber, 1885, filed an application for a pen- sion. The 29th of September, 1894, it was charged that Howell, Karger having mean- time died, demanded and received of Kar- ger’s son a fee of $25 to prosecute the ap- Plication originally filed by his father, which had been rejected. Mr. Chas. C. Tucker, counsel for Howell, moved that a verdict of not guilty be di- rected because the claim of Karger for a pension died with him, and that as the lew refers to the acceptancz of illegal fees in pending cases the defendant could not be convicted. : Assistant District Attorney Taggart in- sisted that the claim was a pending one, but Judge Cox decided that the statute, being a penal one, should be strictly con- strued, and directed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty. a EXCHANGING ATTRACTIONS. A Theatrical Circuit Established That Includes Washington. Manager Jobn W. Albaugh of the Lafay- ette Square Theater in this city and the Lyceum Theater, Baltimore, has completed negotiations with Messrs. Nixon and Zim- merman, the managers of first-class theae ters in Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Brook- lyn, whereby a theatrical circuit will be established, includirg all these cities, the same attractions being secured for each city In succession. The arrangement is for mutual benefit, and does not involve any change in the control or management of either of Mr. Albaugh’s theaters. _ For the Poor, A musical entertainment for the benefit of the poor was given last evening at the lecture room of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Epiphany under the auspices of Ready Circle of King’s Daughters and Sons, Mr. H. Clough-Leiter, director. The program was as follows: Alto solo, Miss Florence Stidham; Magic Song, Mr. Caulfield; sopran> solo, Mrs. Shir-Cliff; “The Grenadiers,” Mr. Griffith; violin solo, Miss Louise Geisberz, accompanied on the piano by Mr. Fred Geisberg; soprano solo, Mrs. Shir-Cliff; bass solo, Mr. Griffith; alto solo, Miss Stidham; violin solo, Mr. Charles Geisberg, accompanied on the piano by Mr. Fred Geisberg; tenor solo, Mr. Caulfield. The concluding number, “Good Night,” was rendered by a quartet composed of Miss Caulficid, Mrs. Shir-Cliff, Messrs. Caultield and Griffith. After the close of the enter- tainment ice cream and cake were served by the members of the circle. Se Prof. Hazen on the North Pole. A number of people took a trip with Prof. Henry A. Hazen of the weather bureau from the Western Presbyterian Church to the north pole last night, and enjoyed the excursion immensely. The trip was taken under the auspices of the local Brotherhood of St. Andrew, and Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis acted as master of ceremonies in in- troducing Prof. Hazen. Over sixty views, scme of them beautiful works of art, were shown descriptive of arctic scenery, and showed what route Nansen must have taken to have accomplished that which is credi to him. He also told something about what Gen. Greely had accomplished. and touched upon the matter of reaching the pole by balloon. As Prof. Hazen has had a good deal of experience in balloons and flying machines, his talk on that part of the subject was exceedingly interesting. A number of officials from the weather bu- reau Were among the audience, as was also Gen. Greely. ———— Marriage Licenses, Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: Clarence J.

The cigar makers presented the form of @ new trade contract, which was indorsed by the Federation. The attention of the Federation was cailed to the alleged fact that there is a lack of scaffolding at the new city post of- fice for the proper protection of the lives of the men employed there, and Secretary Keep replied that the attention of Secre- tary Carlisle had been called to the matter loag ago. That official replied last August. The Secretary said that the contractors had promised to remedy the matter. Secretary Keep was requested to again write to Mr. Carlisle on the subject, and the former replied that he would do 80 without delay. Beer Boycott.

The Pressmen’s Union had re- plied, the delegates stated, that an answer to the communication of the brewers will be sent ut the next meeting of the former. The other assemblies named had \nformed the brewers that they declined to make any investigation of. the matter, and will sustain the boycatt,..and the Structural Iron Workers reperted that, in addition, they had placed a, fine of $2 a glass on every member who, shall drink any of the boycotted beer. |e The Plasterers reported that they had withdrawn their delegates from the Build- ing Trades Council.
