full possession of his moral and mental powers,

body is not braced and electrified by daily

East Washington improvements.

A portion of the Devlin estate, on Capitol
Hill, consisting of a two-story brick house
with lot, on the south side Pennsylvania ave-
nue., between Second and Third streets east,
has been sold lately to Rothwell and Wagner,
for $1,000 cash, who are having the house torn
down preparatory to the erection Immediately
of two houses of modern style, with two COM
modious stores on the first floor, and dwelling
apartments above. This block, which, up to
a few years ago, showed only a few dwelling
houses, is now the livliest trade mart in East
Washington, the entire front being built up
with book, shoe, drug, dry goods, grocery,
jewelry, millinery and furniture stores, and all
other branches known to the business commu-
nifty. The well-known business location on
the southeast corner of Eighth and K streets
southeast, part of the old Mitchell estate,
which was lately divided among the heirs,
was sold, short time since, to Weller and
Repetti for 81 400, the improvements consist

Observations on the Nature, symptoms and
Effects of Catarrh.
By DR.. HARTLEY, 7S2 TENTH STREET.

Among the list of chronic diseases which
affect the human frame catarrh is the one
most prevalent, most offensive, most pro-
ductiVe of discomfort, and most liable to a
variety OF dangerous and distressing compli-
cations.
Thousands are annually. hastened to a
premature grave from its pernicious effects,
and no doubt thousands are at this moment
slowly perishiDg under its fatal influence,
ignorant of the cause their declining health.
1t was, in fact, the destructive influence of this
disease and its alarming prevalence that first
attracted the writer's attention, and 1t is with
pardonable pride that he refers to the fact of
having been the first physician who made this
disease a special study, and originated a sys-
tenn OF treatment calculated to effect radical
and permanent cure.
Catarrh manifests itself by discharge from
the head, varying in its nature in different
cases, and even in the same individual at Diff
ferent times. 1t may be thin, colorless, ,acrid
fluid, or a glary, starch-like substance; gen.
orally, however, it is q thick, purulent, or
muco-purulent matter, either greenish- yellow
or Of deep green tint, occasionally streaked
or fecked with blood. So copious and Often
sive is the discharge in many cases that the
patient feels as though the whole head was in
a state of corruption.
VI IuC pdoocS luJO
the throat, or collects as a tough, viscid
phlegm behind and above the soft palate, in
the passage between the throat and the head, ,
creating a constant and almost irresistible de-
sire to obtain relief by hawking" practice
characteristic of catarrh, aad as embarrassing
to the one affected as it is disagreeable to those
around. Often the phlegm is so tenacious
that the most persistent and exhaustive efforts
fail to dislodge it until come food or stimulant
is sw allowed.
Again the offensive matter deposits itself IN
the nasal cavities in the shape of dry, hard
crusts, which, in some cases, accumulates to
such an extent as to form a regular plug, OBJ
structing breathing and producing serious dis
comfort. This condition is indicative of ulcer
alton, which in time may destroy the bony
structure of the nose, and produce its subse-
qUent fiattening.
The breath is always tainted, and some
times is SO revoltingly offensive as to render
the sufferer an object of disgust to himself as
well as 10 others, and cases are occasionally
met with in which the stencil is really over
powerinc, and sufficiently fetid to poison the
atmosphere of a whole room. Thus a person
affected with catarrh lives continually in an
impure atmosphere of his own surrounding,
ard inhales a poisonous etfiuyia with every
breath.
DR.. Hartley may be consulted at his resi-
dence, 732 Tenth street, near Grant Place.

The Policy or Chance Shops Taking Revenge.
To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: Since the closing of the policy shops l
have heard from various sources that 1 am
classed among informers. If calling the at
tention of the proper authorities to the ex-
istence of these numerous shops makes me an
informer, then am one. made no attack on
any single individual connected with these
shops, as Twas not aware who was engaged in
conducting them, and can say in truth that
have no spite to crafty in the matter. have
done what any good citizen should do, and if
l am to be misrepresented and prosecuted in
my business for doing my conscientious duty,
! am prepared to submit to whatever may be
the consequences. j. B. MOORE,
Physician and Druggist, 1924 Pennsylvania
avenue.
We venture 10 assure DR.. Moore that no re-
spectacle portion of his patronage will desert
him on account ofhis exposure of the +'policy"
dealers. Such conduct should commend
rather than injure him in the minds of all re-
spectacle people.

Complimentary,

1t is quite pleasant to record the fact that
complimentary criticism as to the official man.
agenent of several of our home fire insurance
companies have lately been made in our city
journals, and regard it as a step in the right
direction to promote our city institutions.
The custom hitherto has unfortunately always
been to applaud any Eastern or foreign enter
prise, and continually to overlook our own.
We refer in this instance to the standard OF
merit equitable and reliable fire insurance has
been brought to by the Arlington Fire Insur-
ance Company for the District of Columbia,
greatly due to the efficient management Of
their directors and officers and by their prompt
payment Of losses. Their office is located
at 1905 Pennsylvania avenue, north of the
United States Treasury. Mr.. c. B. Maury is
the treasurer and Mr.. Frank 7. Rawlings the
secretary of this company.

Serious Accidents.

Last Saturday, about 12 O'Clock, as William
Colwen and Budd Churry were hunting in the
neighborhood of Rock creek, gun was acci-
dentally discharged in the hands of the former,
the charge entering the left leg of Churry, in
iicting painful and dangerous wound. He
was conveyed to his home on Market street,
between Fourth and Fifth. Upon consultation
of Drs. Peters, Tyler, Richie, Appleby and
McCloud it was decided that amputation was
necessary to secure the life of the patient, and
the operation was successfully performed.
Mr.. John s. Gallaher, sr., well known and
highly esteemed citizen, was seized with ver-
tigo last Saturday morning, fell to the floor,
and sustained a painful fracture of the left
thigh. Drs. ]. Elliott and c. NJ. Hammett
rendered medical aid. Mr.. G. is upward of
eighty years old, and it is feared his injuries
will confine him permanently to his room. He
was for fifteen years clerk in the Quarter
master Generals office, from which he was
discharged month ago.

The jury on musical instruments of the Gen.
tennial Exhibition have unanimously Endorsed
the verdicts of Paris and London, and awarded
to steinway & Sons, of New York, the highest
honors in their gifts, placing them at the head
of all their competitors, as will be seen by the
following brief extract from the official re-
port
"For the greatest concert capacity in grand
pianos, as also highest degree of excellence in
all their styles, viz largest volume, purity
and duration of tone and extraordinary carry
ing capacity, with precision and durability of
mechanism; also, novel disposition of the
strings and construction and bracing of the
metal Frame"
After this follows minute description and
unanimous Endorsement of the six principal
patented and most valuable improvements of
Steinway & Sons, which have caused their in
struments to be regarded as "the standard
pianos of the world,' awarding them "the
highest degree Of ofexcellence in all their styles"
No individual explanation or ingenious tortur-
ing of words into a different meaning from
that intended is here necessary. The report
speaks for itself, and accords to Steinway &
Sons the first place among piano manufactu-
rers
