PURE SUGARS AT COST. SAN MARINO GRATEFUL TO CONGRESS. A letter, of which the following is a translation, was received a few weeks ago from San Marino, and placed in the hands of Representative Mahany : San Marino, Jan. 30, 1896. REGENCY OF THE REPUBLIC OF SAN MARINO. (Protocot No. 105.) Illustrious Signor Moreno: We are thankful to you for having sent to us the resolution presented on the 26th day of December, 1895, in the Congress of the Representatives of the Republic of the United States by the Honorable Congressman Mr. Mahany, concerning the rumors that the autonomy of the Republic of San Marino was threatened and her ancient liberty was in peril. We have welcomed with joy the cordial assurances of friendship and sympathy of the great and powerful American Republic toward our small Republic in the mutual faith of human liberty; but we deem it our duty to declare for the love of truth and of jus- tice that those rumors of newspapers are not true and are without founda- tions. Our country, which is situated in the very middle of the States of the royal Italian Government, has received and receives from said Italian Government proofs of loyal and fraternal friendship, and has nothing to fear for her contin- uation and for the free excise of her rights of Sovereign State. Therefore, if you have the occasion to make it known to the Americans the true state of things about our country, we will consider’ it a very great favor. Accept the expression of our senti- guished esteem. The Captain’s Regents, FEDERICO GORI, Also for the colleague absent. To Our Illustrious Friend, Signor Celso Ceasar Moreno, Washington. ee IT CANNOT BE QUALLED! The Projected Excursion to Norfolk and that vicinity as may be seen in our advertising columns of this issue, is a ments of gratitude and of our distin-| long ways ahead of anything ever of- fered to our citizens before as to the length of time, number of places to be visited, comfort and conveniences provided and amusements to be en- joyed all under the one low rate ticket of two dollars for fare. Of course there are incidental expenses for board and lodging, but they are all to be had right on the boat, and would have to be provided for no matter where you were, so they arediscounted. The un- broken record for good order on all Excursions of the Washington Cadet Corps is an additional incentive to the patronage of our citizens. Three Moonlight nights and two days upon salt water, without having to lose a nights rest or a day from business is a most remarkable combination, and will beyond a doubt be largely availed of. The graduating exercises of the Law Class of Howard University were largely attended Monday night. The Senior Class of the Normal Department of Howard University held their graduating exercises last Wed- nesday evening in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel. Miss Hester Christian of 423 Wiison St. n.w., who has been ill for two weeks is now convalescing. We hope she will speedily recover. ret ln IF inn che eats : THE MOST RELIABLE.
