gems it is a subject of admiration and
suggestiveness. Yes, the word anne
thyst means a prevention of drunken
ness. Long before the New Testament
made reference to the amethyst in the
wall of Heaven, the Persians thought
that cups made out of amethyst would
hinder any kind of liquor contained
therein from becoming intoxicating.
But Of all the amethystine cups from
which the ancients drank not one had
any such result of prevention. Five
thousands of years the world has been
looking in vain for such preventive
arnethystine cup. Staggering Noah
could not find it. Convivial Ahasuerus
driving Vashti from the gates could not
find it. Nabal breaking the heart of
beautiful Abigail could not find it.
Belshazzar. the kingly reveler. on the
night that the Chaldcans took
Babylon. could not find it Not one
of the millions of inebriates whose
skulls pave the continents and pave the
depths of the sea could find it. There
is no such cup. Strong drink from hol-
lowed amethyst imbrutes the same as
strong drink from pewter mug. 1t is
not the style of cup we drink out of.
but that which the cup contains which
decides the helpful or damning results
of the beverage. All around the world
last night and to day, out of cups cost
lier than amethyst, men and women
have been drinking their own doom and
the doom of their children for this life
and the next. All. it is the amethys-
tine cups that do the widest and worst
slaughter. The spash of the filthy COB
lets OF the rummerics would long ago
have taken place by law, but the ame-
thystins chalices preveut-the chalices

To BEGIN THE SURvEY.-Despite the
misgivinss of some who have Of late be-
come Respondent over the prospects of
having an electric railroad constructed
between this city and Washington, Mr.,
L. W. Spear, who was in the city to-
day, says he has perfected his arrange
ments for building his contemplated
road between this city and Arlington
and that an engineer party, in charge
of Mr.. H. W. Newly, of this city, will
begin the work of running the line be-
tween the two places tomorrow. Mr.,
Spear says the road will be constructed
to Arlington, after which Congress will
be asked to allow the road to bridge
the Potomac river and enter Washing
ton. Mr.. Spears friends, realizing that
he was the moving spirit in the con-
struction of the Mount Vernon Electric
Railroad, have always felt assured of
the ultimate building of the road be-
tween this city andWashington, and now
that the survey and other preliminary
arrangements are to be made the speedy
building Of the road is anticipated.

COMMON COUNCIL,

Yhe attendance OF the members or
Council was quito large at the opening
ofthe Council when the president took
the chair and called the board to order,
and during the evening 10 members
were in their seats.
When bill to compromise tax at
81 coo assessment on the old ware
house, southeast corner of Union and
Prince streets came up
Dir. Uhler explained that the
old warehouse was not worth Sa09 and
had been proftless for years. He adj
vised compromise at about To per
cent, which was agreed to.
When the resolution to provide for a
tax of 81 on each telegraph and tele-
phone pole in the city was read
Mr. Uhler said that the telegraph
companies took advantage of the inter-
STATE commerce act and refused to pay
license tax so that now they used the
streets and the city got nothsng for it.
The Supreme Court had decided tax
on poles legal and this was the only
way to make them pay q fair share OF
taxes.
The chair said it was understood that
a subsequent ruling of the court had
changed the former decision. The cities
ofHichmond and Norfolk levied license
taxes on telegraph and telephone COM
panies.
1t was stated that the Corporation
attorney would consider the matter
before the ordinance should be report,
ed.
Mr.. snowden suggested that the sub
iect of the right to levy license tax or
express companies be included in the
matters referred to the Corporation At
torney for his opinion.
The amendment was agreed to ant
the entire class of cases were referred
to the attorney.

this ordinance had no such PURPOSE,
and Capt. d. announced his opposition
to brick sewers which he said had been
succeeded every where by pipe sewers.
The matter was laid over till the next
meeting.
When the petition of Messrs. Wheat&
Sutel for the iegalizing of certain grades
of streets in the northwest section Of
the city came up on the favorable re-
port of the committee, considerable de.
bate occurred.
AllusioR having been made to an
official map, Mr.. Aitcheson said that
the map was not official and Mr.. Fisher
agreed but Capt. Mushbach read ar
ordinance validating the map.
Capt. Mushbach moved that all street
grades, and alley matters be laid over
to be taken up il connection with the
bill establishing the Office of City En-
gineer, which was agreed to.
