IMPORTANT To HORSE TRADRRs.-In the
case Of the District Of Columbia VS.. Weston
appeal from the Police COurt-triei in the
Criminal Court. yesterday, Judge Macarthur
decided that. under the laws of the District OF
Columbia, a. they now exist. horse dealers need
have 10 license to carry on such business inside
Of the baZ3ar or horse market and within 40
hundred yards thereof. The main facts in the
case were that West teing a horse trader
during the months Of November. December and
January last had bought and sold horses inside
of the bazaar, on Louisiana avenue. near 10Th
street, without having a license therefor; and
the court Instructed the jury that under the law
he had perfect right to do so. and they must
find q verdict of ''not guilty." Moore and New

A VERY IMPORTANT STEP in medical science
Is the plan for administering the most naussous
medicines without offending the senses Many
Valuable medicines are extremely obnoxious,
ana some patients prefer to take the chance of
aying, rather than repeatedly swallow them.
Inc best method yet devised to overcome the
nauseous taste of tar, turpentine, castor oil,
cod-liyer oil, etc, is that of Capsules by which
the odor Is entirely confined and the medica-
ment conveyed into the stomach without the
knowledge, so 10 speak, of the tongue, palate
or throat. Thus Castor Oil, the safest and most
valuable Of all known purgatives, can be taken
agreeably and easily by adult or child The
Capsules made by Dundls Dick & Co. are said
to be superior TO all others. They contain gen
uine medicines, are free from every objection
and, having obtained the recognition of the
medical profession, are now the only Capsules
prescribed by ply sIcians. Duudas Dick * Co.

their Capsules than all other dealers combined
it is most valuable remedy for the diseases for
which 1t is used. They are put up in an elegant
manner, expressly for the prescription Trade
and the improved style has so greatly increased
the demand, both at home and abroad, that
their circulars are now printed in English,
French, German, Spanish and Portuguese ami
their superiority ever all others il universally

before he left here and that Robbins knew
1t. and went on the vessel with the inten-
tion of robbing him. The examination
continued up TO the time of the attack
when the court adjourned until Mond ay

The Commissioner gave the officer strict
orders TO allow no one except counsel to
see Robbins alone. His friends were not

men TO keep him in bed. After he got bet

his wife saying that he expected to have to
give up his trade as his head was troub-

he fell he has not appeared to care whether
he worked or not.
