Makes the
Weak Strong

The marked benefit which people in run
down or weakened state of health derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves
the claim that this medicine "makes the weak
strong" 1t does not act like stimulant,
imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow reaction of greater weakness
than before, but in the most natural way
Hoods Sarsararilla overcomes that tired feel
ing, creates an appetite, purifies the blood,
and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength.

PROM TnE DISTRICT CAPITOL.

WANTS A NEW DUMPING GROUND. - Con-
tractor Thomas =. Morgan in letter to
the Commissioners requests that the east
side of James Creek Canal, from the
termination Of its wall to the Eastern
Branch, and harbor lines from
Buzzard's Point to the mouth
of the canal, be marked by lines
of stakes. Also that other dumping
grounds be located, as the water on the
flats near the Insane Asylum is less than
four feet deep at low tide. The commu-
nication was referred to Captain Lusk,
who reports as follows "Mr. Morgan has
been authorized to dump on the south
side Of the Navy-Yard channel within
the lines Of the reservation for the
Government Hospital for the Insane.
II appears that his scows dump only from
the bottom, and on this account require
considerable depth Of water. III the
scows were arranged to dump from the side
] believe there would be little difficulty
in using the dumping-ground designated.
To dump ON the north OF the Navy Yard,
as proposed by Mr.. Morgan, would en-
croacl on private property and make
the District liable TO damage suits.
would, therefore, recommend that the
staking-out suggestion be done, IL the lot
owners concerned are agreeable, and upon
construction of suitable bulkheads to re-
tain the material deposited and prevent
its running back into the channel"

AT TnE CAPITOL.
PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE AND
HOUSE TODAY.

Ellis Passed by the Upper Branch Of
Congrcss-Thc shipping Bill In the
Mouse.
To-day will be black-letter day In the
annals OF the American House Of Repre-
sentatives. II is the day which marks the
beginning Of the consideration Of the Ship
ping Subsidy bill--the most infamous
measure that has engaged the attention Of
Congress since Dick Irwin and his gang Of
Legislative pirates succeeded in passing the
Pacific mail steal. In those golden days
for the lobbyists money was dirt cheap.
Anybody with pulp in Congress could
command his price. Even door Dangers,
who claimed to have influence with their
members, were paid.
II reports are true the shipping lobby,
while probably not quite as brazen as the
Pacific mail has got almost as much money
with which to grease Its way through
the House. 1t Is powerful in more ways
than one. In addition to having unlim-
big, brainy men with social and politi-
cal following of no mean dimensions.
The discussion on the Shipping bill will
continue throughout the day, and to-
morrow final vote will be taken. What
the result will be can only be guessed at.
The friends of the bill-the handsomely
dressed, smooth-bored gentlemen who
haunt the halls leading to the House
say that they have polled the House.. and
twenty votes. We shall see IL majority
Of the members Of the House are willing
10 vote away $100, 100000 of the peoples
money upon false pretense.

ALEXANDRIA, Feb. 26.--Just before noon
a party of about dozen gentlemen got
off from the Richmond train here to-day
and took cabs for the Market Building,
where they caught Secretary Cook Of the
gas Office Just as he was starting off TO
dinner.
The party was Joint committee from
the Massachusetts Legislature who have
been In Philadelphia and Wheelingin-
specting gas and electric lighting plants of
those cities, and learning the cost and
profit and nature of the plants operated by
the municipal corporations.
Their object is In relation to bill now
pending before the Massachusetts Legisa-
ture to grant number Of municipalities
the right to manufacture and sell gas and
electricity instead OF letting out the con-
tracts, which the gentlemen visitors say
is now the case.
They were fine.looking body Of intel
ligent and polished gentlemen. Theparty

! Mr.. Coburn says that the party left Bos-
ton Saturday evening and had thus far
had a most pleasant as well as satisfactory
trip. They are due in Boston tomorrow.
IL Is much regretted that the stay was
necessarily solbrief.
Mr.. r. x. Reed Of the Board of Trade
went to Washington again to-day TO meet
there number Of Richmond, Petersburg
and Norfolk merchants who are endeavor-
ing to get the Shipping bill passed Gem
eral GroDer, Captain McCarrick, Mayor
Ellyson and Mr.. Reed declare that the
passage of the bill will greatly help Vir-
ginia commerce.
The letter says that with the yirginians
1t is not q party measure at all, and he
doesn't see why politicians cannot stop
chasing the devil around the stump and
attend to some business that would benefit
the people.
The shipyard here, he says, will enjoy q
boom III the bill passes, and this ought to
be helpful, as Alexandria is soon going to
boom, and all her old coal and grain slip
ping business is coming back.
Several of the fishing crews lave started
down. An early season and big haul Is
|. predicted.
Mr.. Eward H. Kemp, who was hurt in q
freight smash up ON the Midland Road q
| year or so ago. has compromised his case
and taken position in the office Of the
company here.
The libel suit against the steamtug
James III. Richards has been decided in
| favor of the libellants-the crew--who
must be paid their wages due.
The steamer Pentz IS still out on the
ways at the shipyard.
