THE Porous PLASTER REVOLUTION.
Porous Plasters are valued by millions as
articles possessing peculiar merit. Their ex-
tensive use is proof Of this. Yet for thirty
years there has been no Improvement in their
slow action, until Benson's Capcine Porous
Plasters were invented. Benson's Capcine Por-
GUS Plasters contain, in addition to all virtues
of the ordinary porous plaster, combination
of new ingredients, which greatly increase
their curative properties and make them the
most powerful external remedy Of modern
times. Their celebrity is founded upon their
astonishing activity. They will cure disease
in few hours that other plasters, liniments
or compounds require days and weeks of con-
tinuous wear to simply relieve. They are
more vigorous and powerful than electricity.

tfOn that the Commissioners BE
Appointed Jointly by the Presi
dent and Congress.
The Congressional commission to form
government for the District again failed to
meet yesterday. At different times during
the morning Governor Hendee and Senator
Whyte were present in the committee room.
Senator Wbyte went carefully over the bill
prepared by the sub committee, of which he is
a member. The manner of appointing the
Commissioners was left unprovided for by
the subcommittee. Senator Whyte proposes
that three Commissioners be appointed, as
follows: One Commissioner, who shall have
teen a citizen of the United States for not
less than five years, shall be appointed for a
tenn of four years by the President, subject to
confirmation by the Senate. One shall be ap-
pointed for term of two years by the House
Of Representatives, and the other by the Sen
ate for term of six years. The two to be
appointed by Congress must be citizens of the
District of not less than five years residence.
When the several terms expire new Commis-
soners are to be appointed in the same man
ner, but for terms Of four years each. It is
expected that Senator Whyte and Representa-
tiVes Hunton and Clymer, who form q major
ity OF the commission, will favor this mole of
appointment.
