day night, and made first-rate appearance.
Everything is ready for inspection, and the
command hopes to have 100 per cent. in
attendance. The battery will decide where
it will go at meeting to be held this
week. One thing is pretty sure, and that is
that it will not go to camp, but will take
its outing in a march. Whether it will
meet the troop and engage in a sham bat
tie will be decided at the meeting. The
command is recruiting rapidly. The move
to the new armory cost it a dozen or so
members, and the vacancies are being
filled up rapidly. In the six weeks it has
been in its new quarters, the battery has
had hard time getting matters in shape.
At last, though, their gun room is in the
very best condition. and is ready for visits
from the public or from critics. Six weeks
ago the dampuess rusted guns and harness,
and it has taken hard work to overcome
this. The company room will not be fixed
up until after camp, because, during that
time the walls are to be painted and put
in shape.
Company A, Sixth Battalion, will hold
an outing June 8 at Buena Vista. Boats
will go down every hour. 1t Is expected
that the Morton Cadets will be present
togive eanexhibition drill. The programme
has not been entirely arranged yet, but
theattraetions viii lbe first-class. Company
A is taking on new life. A boom in re-
new men were taken in at the last meeting
and more want to come in.

lining board Wednesday night for candi-

Naturally he makes no more breathing

that the paperhangers employed by Mr..
Henderson did not belong to the Paper
hangers Union. Several delegates of
different trades gave their views on this
matter and it seemed to be the opinion
that final action should not be taken at
present. but that the committee should
further investigate.
The case OF the Musical League which has
taken considerable Of the time of the
Federation for the past two months, was
brought 10 a final issue by the unanimous
rejection OF tie credentials of the repre-
sentatives OF that union. The matter had
been placed in the hands of a committee
Of nine delegates who We're Instructed TO
make q fun investigation into the merits
OF the case. The report OF the committee
showed that this had been done. A fair
and impartial hearing had TO be given
to both the League and the A AssenibIy and
during the investigation it had been
ascertained that under a constitutional
provision Of the National League OF
Musicians, the local body applying for
representation in the Federation were de-
barred from affiliating with any other
organization OF musicians, therefore in
view OF that fact, The committee, by a
unanimous vote submitted the following
recommendation TO the Federation for it's
approval
THAT the committee recommend TO the
Federation of Labor the objection of the

was appointed to investigate and report

DOUGLASS

DOUGLASS ASSEMBLY OF ENGINEERS.
The members of the Douglass Assembly
of Engineers are very indignant over the
report published in an evening paper of
this city, which alleged that a committee
from their organization had been sent to
Mr.. c. F. Thomas, master mechanic OF the
Virginia Midland division. to insist that
President Spencers orders be carried out
with regard TO the employment of strictly
colored firemen.
At the meeting of the assembly yesterday
this report was denounced as false. The
organization is composed of engineers and
has no firenen in IFS ranks. Ii is not
question OF color with the Douglass As
seInbly, but a question of unionism. This
was the sentiment OF The rmembers as ex-
pressed at the call meeting.

Is
There are people who hpe tired and lam
guid, weak and debfiita1ed, on the down
grade, and unable to get foot on the
brake. Where before they had a feeling
of strong and vigorous nerve power, al
ways ready for any mental or physical
work, they now have only O. sense of
weakness, languor, and du1lness. Busi-
ness meH, whose prosperity depends upon
their clearness of brain and mind, find
their mental strength impaired and their
endurance and power to work diminished
Professional men, students, ana clerks,
whose brain being constantly active re-
quire more than ordinary amount of
nerve force, often find their power of
thought decreased. Where formerly they
could endure many consecutive hours of
close application of their mind, they now
find that the thoughts wander, accom-
panying this there is apt to be an ex-
treme nervous and irritable condition,
a dull, cloudy sensation about the head
and eyes. As this condition continues and
the above symptoms become more pro-
nounced there is usually deTansement
Of the digestive organs. There is often
bad taste in the mouth, especially in the
morning dizziness, constipation, flatuleley,
pain about the heart, palpitaton, dis
tress after eating, followed by boatng.
Persons thus affected are apt to become
Respondent, melancholy, blue, and gener-
ally wretched. The nerves become so weak
ened after a time that the least excite
nlent or shock brings on trembling, and
frequently q sense of heart failure. Thou
sands of people right here in Washing
ton to-day are suffering from portion
or all of these symptoms, and yet do not
realize that they are suffering from ex-
hausted nervous vitality, from over work,
brain-fag, or those excesses and abuses
which will inevitably break down the
strongest constitution unless proper steps
be taken to guard against such u terrible
ending.

evening at the Typograp hical Temple,

to withdraw from the Juncil The re-
quest was received aud laid over for new
business.
Reports were had from the Boston Variety
Store job, which showed that an inter-
ference committee, Unauthorized and un-
asked, had called on Mr.. Smith, the
proprietor, on matters relating to the work
The action OF this committee was repudi-
ated by the council and denounced in vigor-
ouslanguage by the delegates as malicious
Interference with the workings of the
council
Messrs. House & Hermann, on Seventh
street, was re ported as going To build, which
report was referred TO the organZat ion com
mittee for investigation. Under new busi-
ness the request OF L. A. 174S was taken
up. After debating the matter tile secre-
tary was directed to communicate with the
assembly and urge that, in the interests or
harmony, the request TO withdraw its
delegates be reconsdered. The delegats
from the assembly were also requested to
use all honorable means TO bring This about,
as nothing but harm could RESULT by a sever
ance OF arfiliation.
A good deal OF craft business was taken
up and discussed. The benefits accruing
from the formation OF the council We're
favorably debated and it was the unani-
nous opinion that the council is now on
strong working basis and is a strong lever
in the interests of all carpenters giving it
support.
