G& ith. DISTRICT IN CONGRESS Proposition to Settle Outstanding Ccrtifi- cates of the Board of Andit. Necessity of the Rec! tion of the Anacostin Flats—Saburban Rallway Bill. Mr. Brumm of Pennsylvania has intro- duced a bill in the House providing that the Commissioners of the District. cf Co- lumbia and their successors in office be authorized and directed to receive and audit all outstanding certificates of in; debtedness issued by the auditor or treas- urer of the late board of public works or the late board of audit of the District of Columbia, for the redemption of which there is no existing law, and to pay to the person or persons found entitled thereto the amounts respectively found due them on such certificates, including interest thereon at the rate of 365-100 per centum per annum to the date of such redemption: Provided, Thai interest on all certifica:es, the redemption cf which is herein author- ized, shall cease at the expiration of sixty days from the passage of this act. Monument to Albert Pike. The House committee on the library has favorably reported the House joint resolu- tion 178, granting permission fcr the erec- tion of a monument or statue in the city of Washington in honor of the late Albert Pike. The report says: “The resolution is based upon an action of the supreme ccuncil of the Ancient and Accepied Scoitish Rite of Free Masonry had at a recent meeting of that body. A resolution was passed by the supreme coun- cil to erect a monument or statue to the memory of Albert Pike. He had been grand commander of the rite. He was a distinguished citizen of the United States, an able lawyer and statesm.an, an accom- plished poet and a brave soldier. “It is proposed that the monument shall not cost less than $10,600, and shall be presented by the supreme council to the United States. Five thousand dollars were contributed for this purpose by the su- preme council, and steps have been taken to raise the remainder of the necessary fund. The resolution herewith reported cutries no appropriation, it being the pur- pose of the supreme council to defray all expenses connecied with the construction and erection of the statue.” The Anacostia Flats, The report from the House District com- mittee on Senate joint resolution No. 28, relating to the survey for the reclamation of the Anaccstia flats, says: “The reclamation of the Anacostia flats is indispensable to the health of a very con- siderable pcrtion of the population of the District of Columbia. The work is made the more necessary because thousands of people who cannot help themselves are forced to live where the emanations from these flats cause widespread disease and frequent deaths. Of all the improvements needed for the health and comfort of the people of the District of Columbia, this should come first. - Suburban Railway. Mr. Richardson of Tennessee has intro- duced a bill in the House which provides as follows: “That an act entitled ‘An act to incor- pcrate the District of Columbia Suburban Railway Company,’ approved July 5, 1892, be amended so as to read: “Section 1. That Richard K. Cralle, Ckarles E. Creecy, John T. Mitchell, M. Morris, L. G. Hine, Gilbert Moyer, 8. E. Mudd, Robert Howard, W. 1. Hill, John W. Chiléres: |. F. Kenney, D. W. Glassie, Harry Barten, Philemon . Chew, T. Daniel, G. P. Davis, Jere Johnson and L. C. Lcomis, and their associates, successors and assigns, are hereby created a body corporate by the rame, style and title of “The District of Columbia Suburban Rail- way Company.”’” The company is authorized to construct a single or double track railway, as may be approved by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, with the necessary switches, turn-outs and other mechanical devices, in the District of Columbia, { through and along the following routes: Beginning on the north side of Lincoln Park at 12th street east, thence north on 2th street to Boundary or Fiorida avenue, thence continuing northward on 12th street extended to 15th street extended, thence by 15th street extended to a point 500 feet north of New York avenue, thence by a line parallel to New York nue to La- fayette avenue, thence by Laiayette ave- nue, 20th street extended, Cincinnati street, 24th street and Frankfort street to the Bladensburg road, thence northerly along the Bladensburg road to the Disirict line, the line of the railroad on the Bladensburg road to be located under the direction of the District Commissioners. Underground electricity within the city and overbead trolley in the suburbs shall be the motive power. ————_-o+_____ Benevolent Legion. There was “a box auction’ ’and soiree musicale at the home-of Mrs. Toumey, 1321 Rhode Island avenue, Monday evening, the 2ist instant. Quite a sum of money was raised to purchase the charts necessary for a Washington branch of the C. W. B. L.

Preetorius of the Westliche Post Uses AINE’S CELERY COMPOUN The St. Louis Westliche Pest in the leading Ger- wan defly of the Mississippi vallcy, and one of the few great German newspapers in the United States. Established in 1857, it soon passed Into the bends of Dr. Emil Preetorius and the Hon. Carl Schurz, For 40 yerrs the Westliche Post has shown ths most effective devotion to Lonorable and progressive ideas. Eeward Pretorius, business manager and treas- urer, is a man of distincticn throughout the suuth- west, and is known by many theusands in other pertions of the country for 2is broad businces mthods, and for the commanding influence of bis journal in national, state and city politic: Mr. Preetorius is an indefatigable worker. Sub- Jected by his profession to unusual business cares, overwork and sudden demands upon his nervous strength, his personal experience and bis ertimate of Faine's celery compound must have exceptional weight, especially with brain workers, and men and women whosé nerves are incessantly called on, as if they were of iron and steel, and not the most sensitive parts of the body. Mr. Pretorius’ letter, given below, shows his confidence In America’s grestest remedy: ST. LOUIS, January 15, 1898. Mesere, Wells & Richardson Co. Gentlemen: I have fovnd that Paine’s celery compound is *he only remedy that will restore the nerves which have been shattered by over werk, worry or business ceres, I can certainly recommend it without hesitation to all those in need of such a reconstractant of the nervous system. Yours truly, EDWARD L. PREETORIUS. The relative merit and efficiency of Paine's cel- ery compound. in comparisor with al! other rem- edies for making people well, ts clearly shown in the intelligent character and responsible standing of the people who today rely on it to cure in- scmnia, nervous debility, persistent headaches apd @ run-down condition. Its power of rapidly repairing the tissues and cleansing the blood makes Paine’s celery com- pound the great saver of life that it is. It brings Just the needed nutriment to the weakened uerve tissues all over the body, and increases the vol- ume of healthy blood, so that a break-down of some vital part is averted. The story of the discovery and unparalleled suc- cess of Paine’s celery compound is the story of a high purpose steadfastly followed, the fiual work of the lifelong study of the nervous system in health and disease by Prof, Edward E. Phelps, M.D., LL. D., of the Dartmouth medical faculty. In this greatest of all remedies there ie hope for every person distressed by symptoms of dys- Pepeia, impure blood, failing vigor or low nervons condition. FOUND A FRIEND. Young Woman Taken in Charge by Police Matron. A young woman, who gave the name of Mary Moulton, alias Maria Moulton, alias Grace Trainor, today pleaded guilty before Judge Scott of a number of petty larcenies from various parties, but after an earnest appeal by Mrs. 8S. J. McLeod, matron of the first precinet station, she wus released on her personal bonds by the court. No evidence was taken !n court, except that the persons from whom the articles were stolen told Judge Scott they did not wish to prosecute her. The statements made by the losers to Prosecutor Mullowny were that the accused went from one house to another, at each of which she stole some valuable article or articles, and later sold each for a trifie. Her preference was for gold eyeglasses. ‘The girl told che court that she came to this city from Iowa, seeking for a position. She was unsuccessful, and became desti- tute, ail, being on the verge of starva- tion, she tvok the goods referred to. Her mother, she said, is dead, and while her father is living, she knows nothing of his hereabouts. “re. McLeod told Judge Scott and Mr. Mullowny that if permitted by the court to have charge of ihe accused she wouid take the woman to her own home and give her an opportunity to reform. Mr. Mullowny —— ted eating Sheen me that she was about to assul = sponsibility, and Mrs. McLeod replied that she was willing to take the risk. Mr. Muliowny warned the young woman that if she was again convicted of larceny it would be a second offense, and render her liable to a term in the penitentiary. ‘The personal bonds of the accused were then taken by Cierk Potts, and the woman left the court room in company with Mrs. McLeod. —y ‘THE COURTS.

On motion of Assistant District Attorney Laskey a nolle pros. was today entered in Criminal Court No. 2 in the case of Isaac Kenner, colored, under indictment for manslaughter in cennection with the fatal shooting, the 3d instant, of Clara Slater, while in a house in Chester court. Kenner, it will be remembered, was joint- ly indicted with Benjamin Slater. The for- mer was quarreling with his wife the day in question, when Slater, Mrs. Kenner’s brother, interfered. While the two men were tussling in an endeavor to secure pos- session of a pistol the weapon was dis- : charged. The bullet struck Mrs. Slater, who died from the effects of the injury within a few minutes. The strongest case of the two, as pre- pared by the government, was against Sia- ter, so he was the first placed on trial. Mrs. Kenner, the only eye-witness of the shooting, who could not be used as a wit- ness against her husband, testified for the government in the case against Slater. The latter, as stated in The Star, was acqui ted late yesterday afternoon. As the evidence against Kenner was con- sidered weaker than that against Slater, and as a jury, after an unusually brief conference, declared Slater not guilty, the istrict attorney saw no oher way open to him than to nolle pros. the charge against Kenner. An order of the court directing has been confined since the shooting, waa at once forwarded to the warden. —— ie A Kindergarten Talk.
