By the law the Commissioners are prohibited
from permitting any additional wires to be
erected or maintained on or over any of the
streets or avenues of the city of Washington.
1t is charged that this law is being violated IN
many cases. 1t is admitted in one case. that
now IN controversy, that such wires are being
erected in the alleys. The duty of deciding
immediately whether alleys are included in the
meaning Of the law. and Of examining the
charges of alleged violation of the law in other
cases, falls at once upon the District authori-
ties. The direct responsibility of preventing
the erection of such wires as they find to be
prohibited by the law rests upon the Commits
sioners; and as a logical result of that respon-
sibility comes the duty of removing such over
head wires as have been illegally erected. Will
our Commissioners exhibit the nerve of Mayor
Grant in this matter?

The present worlds fair i'll Paris promises to
excel. IN the way of a dilatory beginning. any
thing of the same sort vet done in Europe.
Although the French people have been at
work at this exhibition for at least two years.
they have been unable to keep their engage
ment TO open the whole of it to-day. As usual.
American energy has been equal to the task of
getting ready, and pretty nearly everything in
our branch of the exhibition will be in place
when the .r.,titSde are admitted to inspect it,
As usual, also, the products of American in
yentive genius will be the most conspicuous
part OF our showing; in steam machinery and
agricultural implements We have long been
pre-eminent and in electrical engineering il is
believed that we shall EASILY lead the nations this
year. Indeed, Thoml A. Edison is said to
have a special exhibit of his own which
in many respects will be the most
wonderful thing in the exposition
The present exposition is of especial interest
to Americans because the United States gov
ernment was the only one of the great powers
which officially recognized it. 1t is perhaps
too much to ask that the governments of Eng
land and Germany and Austria and Russia, as
such, should assist with cheerfulness in cele-
brating the overthrow of the monarchical sys-
tenn in France or anywhere else; and their re-
fusal followed by the withdrawal of their diplo-
matte representatives, on one excuse or an
other. from Paris during the opening exercises,
ought not TO astonish anyone. The French.
however, undoubtedly regard it as a snub
direct, and are chasrined by it. Unfortunately,
their indignation seems to be venting itself all
around. America. though filling larger space
than any other country except England, is
treated with scant courtesy in the preliminary
arrangements. Where her glory will doubt
less come in, as has been the case ever since
the Hyde Park fair, in 1881. will be at the dis
tribution Of prizes; and there. in every depart
ment of strictly useful activity. she will stand
Well at the head of the list.

Peanuts for Insomnia,

BISHOP LYMAN SAYS THAT HALF PINT DOSE Is
SURE REMEDY FOR sLEEPLEssNEss.
Under date of Raleigh, March 10, the Rev.
DIR. Theodore B. Lyman, Episcopal bishop of
North Carolina, has written the following letter
to the Raleigh Daily Ne,os and Courier:
Il think have made a very valuable dis
covery, and I am anxious that others should
also enjoy the benefit Of it. For nearly two
years have been suffering greatly from sleep
lessness at night, and frequently have not been
able to sleep more than one or two hours dur
ing the night. l have tried great number
OF proposed remedies, some Of which have
helped me little, but not for any length of
time. A little more than q fortnight ago,
while staying at the house of a friend in the
country, my good hostess brought into the
parlor quite late in the evening bountiful
supply of freshly roasted peanuts. As 1 am
very fond Of them, when they are not too
much cooked, l ate quite freely of them, and
soon after retired to bed. l found the next
morning that I had enjoyed the best sleep
had experienced for over q month. i attrib-
uted this at once to the peanuts, and deter
mined to try them again the following evening"
did so, and also drank a glass Of fresh, sweet
milk after had finished the peanuts That
night slept still better, aud now, for fort
night, have partaken of the peanuts and milk
every night, and have not only slept remarka-
bly, well, but have also fully recovered from q
slight attack Of indigestion which had troubled
me before. now hnd that peanuts, carefully
roasted and not overdone, so as to be all burnt
are surely remedy for sleeplessness and also
for that form Of indigestion which produces
sleeplessness.
There is popular impression that peanuts
are indigestible, but have never found them
so unless they were too much roasted, or had
been roasted many days before. When too
much cooked, or when stale, they certainly are
indigestible, but when carefully roasted and
fresh they promote digestion. They should
be eaten shortly before going to bed, and not
more than half a pint should be taken. They
should be roasted before they are shelled, and
shelled only as they are eaten. half-pint of
shelled nuts would be too many. l commend
this remedy with great confidence to those who
are afflicted with insomnia, particularly if indi
gestion is in part the cause of it, The peanut
is very valuable article of food when carefully
roasted and partaken Of in moderation hope
none Of my readers will imagine that have
started q peanut farm and am wishing to create
boom in that article, but shall be reioiced
II what have written should be the means of
bestowing on any others the great benefit which
have derived from this simple agency"

Cruel Oyster Captains Sentenced.
PUNISHED FOR BRUTAL TREATMENT OF DREDaERs
ON CHESApEAEE RAY

PUNISHED FOR BRUTAL TREATMENT OF DREDaERs
ON CHESAPEAKE BAY.
Judge Morris, in the United States district
court in Baltimore yesterday, sentenced VIM.
E. Ford, John Wallis Severn w. Croswell
Noah E. Ward and John E. Chamick, the five
oyster captains recently convicted of cruelty
to oyster dredgers, to thirty days each in JAIL
except Chamiek, who was fined $50 and SEN
fenced to three days in Jail. Speaking of the
victims of the oyster mems cruelty, Judge
Morris said
These unfortunates are brought from New
York and Philadelphia in gangs of twenty and
upward, many of them but boys in age and
strength and utterly unfit for work and neces-
sary hardships in winter. They are hurried
aboard the vessels and shipped under articles
binding them to work for the season. The
sum they have agreed to pay to the runner for
their transportation to Baltimore and cost of
the necessary outfit of clothing consumes at
once over two months of their small wages,
and they start deeply in debt to the captain
BY shifting them from one boat to another
they are kept down the bay on the water for
three, four or five months. scarcely ever getting
foot on shore, and having the same monotonous
coarse food day after day, and the same recur-
ring tasks. They are kept in subsection with
strong hand forced to labor by fear of blows
and prevented from escaping by being kept
continually aboard the vessel Undisciplned
to the life of a sailor and without habits of in
dustry, as they mostly are, it is not strange
that they often risk their lives and brave any
punishment in efforts to escape.
The shipping of men and boys under such
conditions should not continue. 1t is a scandal
to the human sentiment of the community and
almost Of necessity results in oppression an d
cruelty. In severe winters such men are often
returned here, frostbitten and crippled for life
to be cared for at the public expense"

CROSSING THE CONTINENT TO WE'D AN UNSEEN
sUIToR.
A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
writing from New Philadelphia, O., says:
very romantic wedding occurred at Seattle,
". T., on the 18th of this month, the interested
parties being Miss Eva Helmck, daughter Of
Mr.. Isaac Helmick, of this city, and niece of
the late Hon. William Helmick, of Washington,
and Mr.. Frank Sparkling, who owns a large
cattle ranch in the territory. Miss Eva, just
for fun, had answered personal in Chicago
paper. The gentleman disclosed his real name,
and the correspondence, which was kept up
regularly, ripened into genuine love affair.
Mr.. Frank Sparkling, the hero of our story,
finally proposed matrimony. Photographs were
exchanged and matters became serious.
MIR. Sparkling seemed perfectly honest and
sincere, disclosing his occupation, standing,
DC, which, of course, inspired the utmost con-
idence IN Miss Helmick. He finally proposed
to furnish her a transportation ticket and bear
all travelling expenses if she would come and
investigate for herself, and, If satisfactory eel
citrate the marriage at once. Her parents
thought the trip would be risky venture, so
the ticket and money were returned, very re-
Iuctantiy, however, on the part of Miss Eva.
The correspondence was continued and in a
short time the proposition was renewed, and
this time accepted for better or worse.
The arrangement was that Mr.. Sparkling
should meet his lady love at Seattle, W. T., on
the fourth day of this month. Miss Helmick,
with a brave heart, started on her long Jour
ney. After six weary days and nights she ar
rived at the appointed place, and there met her
athanced. The couple proceeded at once to
Suohomlsh, town where Mr.. Sparkling was
well known, and. calling in minister they
were married at the hotel in the presence of q
hundred well-wishers and friends of the groom.
The bride is one of New Philadelphia most
accomplished young ladies, and the husband
stands very high in the community, and is very
wealthy. From beginning to the finale the
courtship and marriage was most romantic.
