perhaps, few Lies from this sec.

interest to some of the many rea
ders of your excellent paper;
therefore, this communication.
Ont Monday, August 31st,
embarked aboard the Steamer
"Clty of Washington" at her
wharf on the Potomac at $50 D.
m., for Norfolk and Portsmouth,
Va, and after delightful sail,
and invigoratlng rest. arrived al
the latter place about 7 a. M, took
the cars on ''Sea Board Air Line
Rail Road'' for this city about 4
p. m, of the 1st, inst. The trip
was somewhat wearisome and
trying to one, in my physical con-

A NEW COMMISSIONER.

1t is reported that Col. j. w.
Douglass, the only republican
member of the board of District
Commissioners will be removed
and DIR. Pardon will he apI oint-
ed TO succeed him. 1t is true
that there are five democrats in
efice under the District Govern
nent to one republican and the
reason that Col. Douglass Is 20 be
removed is because he refuses to
remove these democrats. Col.
Douglass does not refuse to re-
move the democrats.
The tact is that the democrats
are In the majority on the board
and if the District republicans
wants the democrats removed
they should ask the President to
appoint a republican engineer
Commissioners in the place of Col.
Roberts who wants to be relieved
any way. Col. Douglass is a good
enough republican if be is gwen

LET JUSTICE BE DONE
Editor of THE BEE:

Ed. tor of THE BEE:
In your last weeks issue, |
promised TO have something more
10 say in reference to the case OF
William Douglass Cross, it Was
my intention to accompany this
with a general vie" Of the extent,
the magnitude, the nature, the
tendency, aud the effect Of the
crime, which it is alleged to have
been by him committed, aud also
to give an explanation OF such
circumstances, proceeding the
crime charged on the young man,
as might eIucldate whatever may
seem to be obscure in theprlmlses.
But having been mentally over
taxed in connection with OTHER du
ties this week preciudei thu possi-
bilty of my being able to secure
certain Data required to tamlIar-
ize myself for the effort. Therefore,
| shall not be able to do justice 10
my convictions at this writing.
| am agreeably surprised to learn
that there are 80 many citizens
here who are in favor of making
bold and united effort to save
the accused. 1t must not be lost
sight of, that eminent physicians
testified lu this case, who were
present al the bed side of the
dying woman when she made
three different statements about
the shooting, naming each lime
a different person that done it.
These physicahs decided that the
woman, from the nature OF the
wound could not make rational
statement, and SO testified before
the court. If this Is competent
testimony and there can be no
doubt to the contrary, where does
the dying declaration come in?
that seized the jurors. Qlke a
nightmare) aud extorted from
them al edvrse verdict. Is 1t
not strange. that We eau learn who
does the shooting in every other
case in a moment of time after 1t
is done. But in this one, the
cused at the very moment 1t was
done told who done it, and one
denied bis statement, where is the
evidence to prove that when be
was assisting to carry her home.
and telling the pa ties about her
doing the rash act herself, that she
denied his statement, none what
ever. "There is none So blind, as
those who will not see, aud the
prosecution counot forget the tes
tlmony ofthe physicians, and ad-
here to the So called dying declar-
alton of Hattie Cross, that looks
like persecution. We ask that
the young man be tried In a
spirit of equity, in spirit of pro
lection, m a spirit OF lenlty,
which ought to characterize every
American citizen in power; and
on these. and these principles only.
Will the courts be saved flOm a

citrus fair, which has, as already an
nounced, been postponed one week.
The postponement of the fair has not
caused any interruption of the work,
and in spite of the losses sustained in
the orchard sections, very favorable re-
ports continue to come in from all sides.
Pomona yesterday telegraphed for 100
square feet more of space, which will
probably be allowed her. Whittier sent
word that its work was we'll under way.
G. B. .Eberle, of the Downey Champion,
came in to say that though the railroad
was so badly washed out that it might
take over week to repair it, the people
OF that section would be represented at
the fair, even if they had to bring their
exhibits in in wagons.
Work continued yesterday through
the day at the pavilion. A number OF
ladies and corps of carpenters were in
attendance. Several of the designs are
almost ready for decoration.
kilograms have been sent out in all
directions announcing the postpone.
ment of the fair. Several localities tele-
graphed back their satisfaction at the
new arrangement, declaring that they
could hardly have completed their plans
in time for next week anyway.

The Parent Of Insomnia.

The parent Of insomnia or wakefulness is in
nine cases out Of ten dyspeptic stomach
Good digestion gives sound sleep, indigestion
interferes with 1t. The brain and stomach
sympathizes. One of the prominent symptoms
OF weak state OF the gastric organs is a dis
turbance OF the great nerve entrepot, the brain
!nvigorate the stomach, and you restore equi-
librium to- the great center. A most reliable
medicine for the purpose is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which is far preferable to mineral
sedatives and powerful narcotics which, though
they may for time exert q soporiic influence
upon the brain soon cease to act, and invari-
ters, on the contrary, restore activity to the op
erations of that all important organ, and theil
beneficent influence is reflected In sound sleep
and tranquil state OF the nervous system. A
wholesome impetus is likewise given to the
action OF the liver and bowels by its use.

THE NEW AND THE OLD.
The Recently Elected Library Trustees
at Last Bring Suit.

at Last Bring Suit.
The long-expected suit to oust the old
board of library trustees has at last been
commenced, complaint for usurpation
OF Office being filed yesterday with the
county clerk.
This document sets forth that on De-
cember 1st, 1890, Messrs. F. r. Willis,
J. M. Quinn, E. w. Jones, F. Holloway
and H. H. Spencer were duly elected as
board OF library trustees, to hold office
for two years from January s, 1891: that
prior to that date each of them. duly
qualified and received his certificate OF
election to said Office, and that on jan
uary 9th they made due demand upon
the old board for the Office and its appur-
tenances, but that the defendants re-
fused to turn over the library, and
usurped the office.
The old board, which consists of
Messrs. f. H. Howard, G. A. Dobinson,
H. Jay Hanchette and j. M. Davies, was
appointed by the mayor and confirmed
by the council, in accordance with the
provisions of the city charter, under
which the library was established, but
the new board was elected by the people
under the provisions of the state law,
which was enacted subsequently. Hence
the old board claims that the new one
has no jurisdiction over the present
library, and refuses to vacate its Office in
favor of the latter which has no library,
as the new law does not repeal the
charter.
