Something About Beer.

During the past year it has been noticed
by bottlers and the dispensers of beers In
general, that the public taste was rapidly
undergoing a radical change. Until re-
Gently light-colored beers have been tho
favored drink, and 1t was only when visit
ing Germans were seen to order dark beer,
as being a good reproduction OF their
native brews, that Washingtonians realized
how completely they had followed the
wrong track. 1t needed but few trials
to convince them of this fact and now
the tide of public favor has turned juss
as strongly in the direction of dark and
softer beer. 1t has always been held by
the National Capital Brewing Company
that a dark beer could be made here Of
the same degree of excellence as in II unich.
The argument was that American grains
are in no respect inferior to those of Ger
many, and for this reason IL is possible
to make an equally good article If the
brew-master understood his business
Last April Munchener beer was intro
duced to WashiDgtonians, and from the
first has been received by the best judges
as the equal of Munich beers in consist
ency, taste, and quality. The National
Capital Brewing Company always pur-
chases the best grains that can be Sc
cured, and as far as the facilities for
making fine beers are concerned cannoe
be excelled in this country. A great rec
omrnendatiun of this dark brew lies in tho
fact that no matter to what extent i'm
bibed it will have no bad after effect-an
evil so commonly accompanying the hard
er, pale beers, The medicinal value OF
Munchener beer has been readily recog-
nized by the chemists who have analyzed
1t, and they unhesitatinsly pronounce 10
unequaled in wholesomeness and health
fulness. By physicians in general 1t Ii
constantly prescribed as powerful ano
at the same time harmless tonic. q
To Messrs. ]. F. Hermann & Son, OF
75O to 754 Tenth street southeast, the Ma
tIonal Capital Brewing Company has
given the exclusive right to bottle theif
"Munchener- Beer for the city trade
For the table and family use this beer
stands distinctly first. Every argument Is
in its favor, one of the best being that is

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded dis
ease that science has been able to cure in all
its stages, and that Is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
TEN, thereby destroying the foundation ofthe
disease and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assisting
nature In doing its work. The proprietors

that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any

than in devoting them to the present case.
After the appropriation had been made.
the following resolution, which indicates
the policy organized labor intends to pursue
in regard TO the Anacostia road in the
coming Congress: Resolved, That the
legislative committee be directed to pre-
pare, and secure the introduction, and work
for the passage of a bill before the next
Congress, amending the charter of the Ana
costa Street Railway Company, SOFAS to
compel said company to introduce cable
or electric motive power; equip its lines
with modern cars, provide conductors and
motormen. and pay them not less than So
perdayfor tenhourslabor, under the penalty
of forfeiture of their charter"
The attention of the delegates was called
to the fact that a similar bill prepared by
the labor organizations had been intro
duced into Congress several years ago, and
its passage had been assured, Its favorable
recommendation had been made to the
House by the committee to which ithad been
referred. and the consent of enough members
to secure its passage in both houses had been
obtained. and it wasonly upon the concession
of the Washington & Georgetown road to
reduce the working hours of its employees.
that organized labor did not press the pass
age of the bill.
The resolution was then unanimously
indorsed.
The general MISTER workman and general
worthy foreman then entertained the dele
gates with encouraging remarks on the
prosperity of the order in general, and con-
graduating the DistrictAssemblyo on the good
work done in this Jurisdiction during the

 Some folks have strange ideas as to the duties of tho police force, said the desk sergeant.
 When 1 was at the North Chicago avenue station, for instance, I remem- Der case. A lady ralg mo up one after noon and said sho wanted two police men sent to her residence at once. She lived on Dearborn avenue, and when she told mo her name I recognized it as that of we'll known business man. I asked what the policemen were wanted for
 :. They will be told when they get here, said she.
 But, madam, said I, I couldn't send two policemen 10 your house with out knowing what they were going for, even if wanted to. It's against the rules
 Sho thought it was very strange rule, she said, which compelled her to state her private business over a tele. phone but she finally told me what the trouble Was. She said she had been out walking with her little deg, and that two very suspicious looking men had been watching her from the other side of tho street She was sure they meant to steal tho dog, and sho wanted them locked up. When l explained to her thatw couldn' | arrest anybody cl such evidence, she gave a few more opinions about the police and rang off
 'I had a call something like this from residence in Bellevue place. This one came by phone, toe and was from a lady. She wanted the patrol wagon seEt to her house right away She declined to tell me at first what it was wanted for, but when I refused to do anything until 1 knew something further sho said an ugly dog was hang ing about her back steps, and that she couldn't let her dogs out to play iii the yard, as this dog insisted on playing with them and was not tie kind of a dog she wanted her dogs to associate with, l told her that i couldn't send the patrol wagon on such an errand but said l would have tho dog taken to the ponnd hy the wagon on its way there next day, She said sho didn want the dog there overnight, and suggested that perhaps he would go away of his own accord when he saw he was being snubbed.

 The semi-annual statement of the condition of the Merchants X Plan- ters Bank at the close of business December 31, 1S94. appears promi- ncntly displayed in this issue, to which we invite your attention. It is needless to review the figures; they speak for themselves more forcibly and eloquently than any tongue or pen. But the statement discloses two conditions worthy of special mention, one of which is that Pine Blud $ not so near "busted' or times as hard as many have pro- claimed. while the other is that the Merchants X Planters Bank is d splendidly managed financial insti- tuition. The item of deposits which shows S364, ,55290, speaks volumes for Pine Bluff. At this season of the year most of our merchants who buy i'll the summer and fall have set tied their accounts, and the item of $364, 552 90 in deposits is largely ac- crued and accumulated money. And in this connection t must be remem- bered that the Merchants X Planters Bank is only one of three banks in this city, all of which, when the time comes, will doubtless show large deposits This proves eonclus- lively, what the GRAPHIC has often claimed. that the times are not as stringent in this community as they have been represented, and that the continual cry of "hard times, . "hard times, 7 hard times, which We have heard proclaimed from the house. tops for the last few months, is largely a false and wicked creation. and frequently resorted to as q sub terfuse. 4 GRAPHIC reporter has made diligent inquiries among our merchants during he last few days in regard to the conditions of busi- ness during the past year, and in a majority of cases our merchants re port Il larger and more satisfactory trade for the year 1891 than for the previous year. Hard times are caused largely by the cry of hard times, which is eonelusively shown by the Merchants X Planters Bank S's statement. and the condition of the other banks as well.
 We con9ratl late the "old reliable" Merchants < Planters Bank upon the excellent showing it has made, and take this occasion to wish it more happy and prosperous New Year.
