LAST CHANCE FOR HER LIFE
she. consented, and In December, 1880
she vas taken to Roosevelt Hospital

professors made study of her case and
tried every method and medicine without
success, and they at last told her thai
nothing more could be done, and Mrs

For the past year che had been grow

The advertising columns of The NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN, crowded as they are and have
been with the cards of Washington business
houses might be pointed at as Offering some
what comprehensive answer to the croakcrs
who have had so much to say about this being
a four-pagc constituency" The city and
its merchants are prospering. The old notion
that because the seat Of government is located
here commercial interests are out of the
question has faded away and the city has
advanced long way toward that import
supply to large and rich territory. Those
Washington people who have permitted
themselves to fall in with the injurious
idea promulgated by congressman and the
strangers who como hero to attend upon
congress- that there is no business done after
congress adjourns arc invited to reconcile
with that idea, if they can, the
facts that congress Is not in session and that
trade was never before so good as il is the
present spring. The truth is that only
small percentage of the business transacted
by the merchants of the place is brought to
them by these people. Tho substantial trade
of the city comes from its permanent
population and the population of rich
and populous tributary country to the
south and west of us. People living in
this country no longer think it necessary
to go to Baltimore for their goods. Since
THE REPUBLICAN met the needs of its public
by taking on metropolitan form and spirit,
and pushing out along the lines leading
through the territory in question, vast and
important change has come quietly about.
The newspaper has received the most gener-
Gus support and welcome in the city and
out Of it, by which it has been enabled
to bring buyer and seller together in new and
mutually profitable relationships. The bust
ness men of Washington have been as prompt
to avail themselves of its mediumship as their
customers have been glad to buy it for its in
trinsic excellence as journal. Emphatically,
this is an eght-page constituency, and one
that thoroughly appreciates this eght-page,

Transfer OF Treasure.


The committee appointed to examine the
cash in the United States treasury and tho
accounts of the late treasurer began work
after the close of business on Saturday, by
making count of the tellors cash, so that
there need be no interference with the busi-
ness of the Office The reserve vault was also
sealed up preparatory TO taking an inventory
of its contents as turned over by Mr.. Gilhllan.
IL is thought that the count will occupy two
or throo weeks. There has not been
thorough Overhauling of the treasury office
for ten years; the last full examination being
one mado during Treasurer Spiuner's time.
When Mr.. Spinner turned over the Office to
Treasurer New the latter was willing to ac-
ccpt the cash and accounts without cNamina-
tiom and his bondsmen also being willing, the
secretary Of the treasury dispensed with an
examination. The same thing occurred when
Treasurer Wyman succeeded New and when
Gilillan succeeded Wyman. The latter has
expressed his willingness to forogo an eNani-
nation ON the present occasion, but the secre-
tary thinks thatsO long u time has intervened
since the last count that one should now be
made
The committee will be assisted in the work
by force of twenty to thirty clerk detailed
from offices other than the trcasurers Office.
count will be made of the old notes in the
redemption division, the new notes in the re-
serve vault, the silver and gold. and the bonds
held in trust. President Upton, of the COM
mittec has decided that an actual count must
be made in all cases The packages of notes
will be opened and counted, as will also be the
bags of gold and silver coin. He will per-
sonally assume charge of the work of COM
pairing the cash on hand with the treasurer's
accounts and with the accounts of the dis
bursting officers.
