To their long Continued efforts to give to

share OF the public moneys.
Judge Cole yesterday dissolved the in.
junction sued out by the United States
Electric Light Company, the object Of
which was to restrain the Commissioners
from making contract with the Potomac
Company for the Lighting Of streets east
of Rock Creek
Immediately after the reading of Judge
Coles decision. which was very much Of
a surprise to all those who had followed
the course of events. the decision OF Justice
Bingham on the laws governing electric
lighting in the city, the opinions Of the
COMMISSIONER legal counsellor that the
proposed contract was Illegal, the opinion
OF one of the Commissioners also that it
was illegal, and the exact language of the
law scarcely capable of misconstruction,
Mr.. Redington,counselfo for the United States
Electric Light Company, gave notice OF a
special appeal TO the COURT Of appeals.
WANT THE POINT SETTLED.
lnasmuch as it was probable from the
lnsistent desire OF Mcssrs Pow ell and
Trnesdell in this matter that they would
nave taken an appeal If the case had been
adverse To them, the appeal was to be
anticipated The object OF the United
States Electric Company is To have the
law finally settled and at the ca rliest late
possible. AT present nothing has been
settled.
Tie events which led up TO this peculiar
nugatlOn are always Interesting. 1t will
be remembered that Commissioner Truvs-
dell once had on his hands an electric light
plant over in lexington. He and Major
Powell had made repeated attempts be-
-fore Congressional committees to nave

The VenOmOus Breath Of Malaria
Does not infect the system of those who
use Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as pre-
caution against it. Nor is it less useful
as remedy where intermittent and re-
mittent fever has fully established itself,
in consequences of neglect of preventive
measures. 1t checks the paroxysms with
astonishing certainty, and eradicates this
type of disease, even in it's most inveter-
ate form. This medicine is an especial
boon to the emigrant population of the
far west, where fevers of malarial type
are particularly prevalent, but the recog-
milton of its merits is 30 far from being
limited, that it is known and APPRAISED at
it's true value throughout the length and
breadth of America. Travellers by land
and sea, miners and sojourners in I'M.
healthy localities, esteem it highly, and
are its constant purchasers, and in many

chosen family specific.

CHANGING HER NAME.
Strange Tale Of a Helpless Babe and
the Divorce Habit.

Strange Tale Of a Helpless Babe and
the Divorce Habit.
When her girl baby was born, it was
perhaps natural that Mrs. Howard should
name the infant after Julia Smith, her
dearest girl friend, who lived in Chicago
So the infant was christened Julia Smith
Howard and as such remained for year.
At the end of that time Miss Julia Smith
had become Mrs. Lancaster, and as Julia
Lancaster Howard sounded better than
Julia Smith Howard, the helpless babes
name was changed while she was strug-
Cling with her first teeth.
Soon after news came from Chicago that
a divorce court had dissolved the ties which
bound Mr.. and Mrs Lancaster and the
wife had been restored to her maiden name.
While Mrs. Howard was wondering If it
would be advisable to again change the
name of the child, the matter was compli-
Gated by the marriage of her dear friend to
Mr.. Vandergrift. The letter in which this
news was told came from the dear girl
chum, and as she was wildly enthusiastic
in extolling the virtues of her new spouse,
Mrs Howard changed the name of the
child to Julia Vandergrift Howard by the
simple process of announcing that the
change had been made.
Alas for human frailty! The later mar
riage Of the dear girl chum lasted bus
three months, and while Mrs. Howard was
trying to collect her thoughts cards came
announcing that Mrs. Julia Smith Lancas-
ter Vandegrift was married to John Wayne.
Having made previous changes, Mrs. How
ard decided to make still another, and her
daughter became Julia Wayne Howard.
But the matter did not end there. The
dear girl chum seemed to have become a
victim of the Chicago divorce habit, and
Mrs. Howard decided to keep up with her
or die trying.
As a result the daughter began an ex-
hausting process Of altering her name.
She was known when she first went to
school as Julia Hamhead Howard. She
passed into the grammar grade as Julia
Porkchoppe Howard, and entered the high
school as Julia Wynnecliffe Howard, grad
uating as Julia Abattoirre Howard She
made her debut as Julia Primrose Howard
and often congratulated herself on the fact
that she was the Oldest daughter and con-
sequently had her cards engraved without
any given name; otherwise the cost for
new plates would have been considerable.
The announcement that she was to be
married gave her name as Julia Schmeythe
Howard, but her wedding cards bore the
name of Julia Boggs Howard. Then re-
lief came. She became the wife of John
W. Dingbats and henceforth used his name
as her own. She lost track of the dear
girl chum Of her mother, whose matri-
monial exploits had been such personal
inconvenience to her, and at this day real
ly does not know what her name is, except
that it is Julia Something other How
ard Dingbats. Bob Holland in Truth
