should bo done in this city. Mr.. Peters re-
ceived the contract and has since performed
this service under successive contracts, with
equal satisfaction to the department and the
public.
Under his contract Mr.. Peters receives ono
cent each for 150 copies of each patent draw
ing on an average of 600 sheets Of drawings q
week. Tho drawing is received, photo
Autographed, and proof returned the same
day to tho department.
Tho entire work is required TO be proof
read and perfected, so that patents allowed
can be issued on Tuesday of each week.
This labor is performed under an excellent
system Of discipline, in which promptnoss
and perfection are the salient features. These
copies Of drawings are sold by the govern
ment at ten cents each as the minimum, and
fifty cents each as the maximum price.
1t is easily seen what a revenue is created
by disposing Of them at so large profit.
Although in other cities there arc several
photolithographic establishments Of larger
dimensions and "plant than that of MIR.
Peters, there are mono moro perfect in APP
pointment, and certainly none whore busi-
ness is transacted with greater celebrity and
skill. His workshops, on the south side of
Pennsylvania avenue, between Four-and-a-
half and Sixth streets, arc models of neatness
and order In all essentials and a monument
to the enterprise Of the worthy proprietor, to
whom the government and tho public are in
debted for the success of the photolitho-
graphic art in the Federal city.

The Potomac river was crowded with pleas

Vital Questions!

Ask the most eminent physician
OF any school what Is the best thing in
the world for quieting and allaying all ir-
ritation of the nerves and curing all
forms of nervous complaints, giving nat
ural, childlike, refreshing sleep always,
And they will tell you unhesitatingly

CHAPTER I.
Ask any or all of the most eminent
physicians
"What is the best and only remedy
that can be relied on to cure all diseases
of the kidneys and urinary organs, such
as Brights disease, diabetes retention or
inability to retain urine and all the dis
eases and ailments peculiar to women"
"And they will tell you explicitly and
emphatically, Buchu."
Ask the same physicians
"What is the most reliable and surest
cure for all liver diseases or dyspepsia,
constipation, Indigestion, biliousness, ma
larial fever, ague, &c." and they will tell
you
Mandrake or Dandelion.
Hence, when these remedies are COM
bined with others equally valuable

such wonderful and mysterious cura-

st. Dominick's church was crowded yester
day morning. High mass was celebrated by
the Rev. Father Hogan, Rev. Father Spencer
officiating as subdeacon, and Father p. c.
Coll as master of ceremonies. The altar wa.
selections rendered by the choir were un,
usually effective. At the conclusion of the
mass Archbishop Gibbons, assisted by Father
Rotchford, administered the rite of confirma-
tion to $50 children and so adults.
The archbishop preached an interesting
sermon, giving timely and excellont practi-
cal advice to those who were entering into
tho new life. The female candidates were
attired in white, and the males all wore a
red ribbon. These colors were typical of the
purity of the Saviour and of the blood which
he shed for tho redemption of sinners. The
entire ceremonies were deeply interesting
and impressive.

An examination of tho books in. tho Navy
department shows that although larger
number of vessels have been more actively
employed during tho last year than during
tho years previous, tho enforcement of tho
regulation Of the Navy department requiring
naval officers to pilot their own ships into and
out Of harbors has resulted in reducing tho
bills for pilotago from $i5,307 to $3.50, q
saving to tho government of S37 81 in one
year, and it is said to have had u most beno-
fetal effect upon tho personnel of tho navy.

requires them to familiarzc themselves with

which they are attached and they now resent
tho imputation that pilots were ever ncces-

carry on the Philadelphia Brewery, it

any one else to attend to the not easy

been working hard from 5 o'clock in the

Magnetism the New Source OF
Health. anrs .ft


DIR. Edwin Robbins, the celebrated
Australian Electric and Magnetic Hea-
Ter, respectfully informs the public that
he has opened an Office in the city OF
Los Angeles. DR.. Robbins discards the
use of surgery, drugs, minerals and all
other medicines in his treatment and re-
lies solely on the powers of magnetism
An experience of several years in the
Australian colonies, San Francisco, Salt
Lake City and Denver, in which places
he has treated successfully thousands OF
persons, enables him to assert with con
fidence that he can cure diseases which
have deiied the application of medical
science. Magnetism is the life principle
within us. The air We breathe is
charged with it. 1t is the vital force
emanating from all persons and that
which connects the soul with the body.
In support Of this theory he cures acute
pains Instantly, local pains in few
days, and builds up the most shattered
constitutions in short time. DIR. Rob
bins. who has worldwide reputation
for his extraordinary cures of all diff.
cult and complicated diseases, possesses
a power to relieve and cure all kinds OF
diseases. DR.. Robbins diagnoses dis.
eases free Of charge without explanation
from the patient. If you wish referen.
