Big Petition to Extend the Limits of
Justices.

On next McEday, District day in Con-
gress, Mr.. Hurd will present monster
petition from Georgetown and urge imme-
date action on 1t. The petition, which is
signed by business men here who do trad
ing in the aggregate to the estimated year
iy sum of S10,OoO0O0, and whose personal
aggregate wealth is estimated at s2,UJOO00,
prays that Congress will at once take up
Senate bill No. 49, and push it through.
This dill provides for the increase of the
civil jurisdiction of Justices OF the peace
and asks that the original bill be SO amend
ed as to make the jurisdictiOnal amount
S2uU instead of $500. At present 1t is but
500. The petitioners state that because of
the present limited jurisdiction III the Dis
trct they are yearly subjected to great
pecuniary loss. lhe original bill was pre-
sented in the Senate by Mr.. Mitchell last
February. 1t was passed, but ever since
has slumbered undlsturbed in the House.
For even bill of $lel merchants are now
compelled to go to the regularly established
courts, where they must submit to ex-
penses averaging s3l, and great inconveni-
ence also.

Notes.

In the new police manual gotten up icy
Commissioner Truesdell and now being
attributed among the officers, all attaches
of the force are forbidden to enter while
in uniform any store of any kind where
liquor is sold, be the place even an ordi-
nary grocery. AS the police are only al
lowed to doff their uniforms through spe-
cial permission the new regulation, 1t is
said, appears extremely Inconsistent

THE ELECTIONS.
Republicans Held Their Old States and
Made Gains In Maryland and Kentucky.

The ''off year" elections for 1895
were very interesting and hard fought
in several states and Will give food for
reflection TO those who have time TO
figure out the cause and effects of the
voice of the American people as heard
at the ballot box. In New York state
the Republicans secured plurality of
about 10000, thus giving the Empire
state Legislature Republican in both
branches, a Repu blican secretary of
state and a strong cinch on the seat in
the u. :. senate now occupied by
David Ii. Hill. But in New York CITY
Tammany Democrats piled up major
ity of 10000 on municipal issues, in
surfing the overthrow of the vigorous
reforms inaugurated under Republican
rule.
Massachusetts Republicans re-elect
Gov. Greenhalge with majority of
$4,000 The woman suffrage amend
ment was buried deeper than ever
Ohio was one of the points of central
interest owing to the prominence of
her strongest fighters in national af-
fairs. The battle between Gen. Bush
nell, Republican, and ex-Gov. Camp
bell, Democrat, was fought long and
hard, but the result figures out that
ten. Bushnell was elected by about
$4,000 majority. The legislature will
be Republican in both branches and
ex-Gov. Foraker will succeed Calvin 5.
Brice in the United States senate.
The Populists cast about 40, 600 votes,
the Prohibit:onists about 10000 and
the Socialists about 1000
Democratic Maryland flops over into
the Republican ranks by about 5000
majority. Even Senator Germans
county gave Lowndes, Republican
candidate for governor, majority.
Pennsylvania-Repu blican = $50, 600.
Kansas elected chief justice of the
supreme court-Republican
Senator Allison will be returned to
the u. ). senate as Iowa gives a Re-
publican majority of about $4,000.
Silver was the issue in Democratic
Mississippi and silver was victorious
The Democratic majority is $4,000.
Griggs, the Republican candidate
foi governor in New Jersey, carried
that state by small majority.
Nebraska polled small vote-only
minor offices being at stake-but it was
nearly all Republican.
Virginia don't report Republican
votes. They are Democratic or anti
Democratic. This year the ants are
almost non est.
Illinois elected one congressman,
and he's Repu blican.
Reports from Kentucky were very
slow coming in, and were also intensely
interesting as they showed the turning
over of a Democratic state to the Repub-
licans. Every county was a hard-fought
battlefield and the ma ority of Bradley,
Republican candidate for governor was
small.

questioned about the rumor ahoat concern
Ing him, Mr.. Smith promptly replied that
IL was true.
He said that for twelve years past he had
been troubled with sciatic r. eumatism that
his sufferings had been at times wei nigh
unbearable and that until April last he had
not been able to obtain relief Now, ho
said, he hoped soon TO be entirely cured.
The reporter inquired what had effected
this remarkable change Mr. Smith re-
piled that last April he learned Of some
astonishing cures that had been performed
by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
These cures, and in particular the case of
James j. Corbett an account Of which APP
peared In the Times and Expositor induced
him to try the pills After taking two
boxes he thought he was entirely cured
The rheumatism returned in a measure
however, and he is again taking the pills
with full confidence that two boxes more
will entirely eradicate the disease from
his system.
Mr.. Smith made "A sworn statement Of
these facts, Of which the following is a
copy:

at times my suffering has been almost I'M
