APrettyWOman' S Secret,

Fear Of discovery, when she resorts to
false hair and dyes, is source of con-
slant anxiety to her. The very persons
from whom she most desires to hide the
waning of her charms are the ones most
likely to make the discovery. But there
is no reason why she should not regain
and retain all the beauty of hair that was
her pride in youth. Let her use AYERS
HAIR vIGoR, and, not only will her hair
cease to fall out, but new growth will
appear where the scalp has been denuded;
and locks that are turning gray, or have
actually grown white, viii return to their
pristine freshness and brilliance of color.

District Matters in Congress.

The residents of Southeast Washington, by n
committee representing them, were given n
hearing yesterday by Senator ingalls,, chair
man of the Senate District committee. They
complain that while paying taxes they are
ignored so far as improvement OF streets and
sidewalks, introduction of gas and sewers are
concerned. written petition setting forth in
detail the complaints were submitted, signed
by Mcssrs, James Grace, IL. W. willard, Alfred
Richards, John Grinder, Thomas A. Richards,

The conference committee have reached an
agreement upon the District appropriation
bill. They split the difference on most of the
important items that the Senate had increased.
The appropriation for school buildings Is left
at $50 900. The appropriation for pavements Is
s2G6,O00, and for concrete repairs $4,000. The
report of the committee was agrcedto by both

IMPROVING TIE FLATS.
Argument in Favor OF tho Continuanc
of tho york.

The committee on commerce Of the
Senate, in their report on the river and
harbor bill, among other items, give the
following reasons for recommending the
appropriation of $5OO,OOO for the work for
the improvement Of the river fronts
The project for the improvement of the
Potomac river In the vicinity OF Washing
ton, ID. c., was adopted by act OF Congress
passed August q 1882, and has for It's OBJ.
iect the Improvement Of the navigation OF
the river by deepening and widening its
channels so as to accommodate vessels OF
the largest class that can reach Geisboro'
Point; the establishment OF harbor lines
beyond which no distractions, such as
wharves, etc., should be built, and at the
same time TO raise and fill the marshes or
flats In front of the city above overflow by
the highest freshets, the material taken
from the river in deepening and widening
the channel TO be used in filling the llts.
Before the Improvement was commenced
the flats or marshes in front OF the city had
become so offensive that certain parts OF
the city In their neighbOrhood were not
habitable. The channel TO Georgetown was
narrow and crooked, and had not sufficient
depth TO accommodate vessels trading to
that port. The Washington channel lead
ing to the wharves along the front Of the
city, between Long Bridge ana the site OF
the arsenal, was also inadequate to the
wants OF commerce. Vessels drawing SIX
teen feet frequently grounded in the
Georgetown channel, and the depth was
only maintained by frequent dredging.
The expenditures for the Improvement
have thus far amounted to S532, ,44522, and
have given channel from Giesboro' point
to Georgetown 20 feet deep at low tide and
over 500 feet wide, and partially.com-
pleted channel along the Washington chan
mel Of the same depth. In addition, about
100000 cubic yards OF filling, including
ombankment, have been deposited on the
fats, raising above overflow by mean high
tide about 22j acres Of marsh land.

Tho Discovery of IA Valuable Chaly-
beato Spring at tho Highlands, Prince
George County, Md.
The important announcement Is made of
the discovery of a new spring Of the water
Of the famous Bladensburg spa on the place
Of Mr.. +. il. Finley, at Highlands, near
Badensburg. The water has all the quail
ties Of the old spring, but is little more
strongly impregnated, and, therefore, the
more valuable and promises to revive the
popularity Of the spa, which has uuaccount-
ably declined since the war.
Mr.. Finley is now prepared to furnish
this water to residents In the city from his
place, No. 1906 ID street. 1t can be ordered
In bottles or In charged syphons, as may be
desired. II is we'll known that for years 1t
has been the custom Of farmers aud others
driving wagons into town to bring the
Bladensburg spa water In jugs aud other
vessels and sell 1t to those who happened to
desire II, but there has been no attempt to
furnish Systematic supply. Many persons
would have been glad TO obtain 1t regularly,
and many more will now partake Of It's
benefits since 1t has been placed on the
market.
The merits of this spa are too well
known in Washington TO need description
or the publication of elaborate tables OF
analysis. The best test is the reputation It
has enjoyed since the memory Of man.
Scott's description Of Maryland and Viz
ginia calls 1t "a fine chalybeate spring."
and says, SIT is impregnated with iron and
contains great deal Of carbonic acid or
fixed air. The water is exceedingly clear
and remarkably cold. In all cases OF de.
Gillty the most salutary effects are produced
from the use Of 1t, and in many instances,
where 1t Is drank for few days, the appe-
tite is increased"
The late Bishop Plnkney made the
neighborhood Of this spring his favorite
abode in his closing years, and derived
great benefits from the water which he said
prolonged his life.
The use Of natural mineral and table
waters has become moro and more general
Of late years, especially In Washington
since the Potomac water has become so I'M
certain and the city wells have failed
Nothing better could be chosen for this
purpose than f. II. Flnley's Highland Spa
Water, the properties of which are so thor
oughly tested and established, and which 1:
home product. Such promoter OF
health, so near the city, should certainly
not run to waste or benefit only afew.
