IS CONFIDENT,
Mrs. Peters Prepared to Claim the
Dead French Mfser.

Mrs' TeteFS prepared TO Claim the
Dead French Miser.
Mrs. Alice V. Peters of Georgetown, who
claims she is the lawful widow of Henry
Jules Peters, the Frenchman who died in
Paris and left an estate of 100000, has
employed Mr.. Campbell Darlington to rep
resent her in the case.
Mrs. Peters has only one child living, a
daughter. Miss Mary Paul Peters, and she
has a photograph of her husband taken
several years ago. She has also some of
his handwriting, and these, it is claimed,
will go a long ways toward settling the
points at issue. The rumor that man
claiming to be son of the deceased has
appeared does not in any manner disturb
Mrs: Peters, for she expects, as in all
similar cases, that number of claimants
will appear.
Mr.. Darlington, her counsel, thinks Mrs.
Peters is unquostionably the dead mans
widow, and the rumor about the alleged
son lie thinks is not well founded. He has
already begun work on the case, and has
sent for photograph and sample of the
dead mans handwriting.

Old College ChuIn 8.

From the Philadelphia Record.
From their conversatioh they must have
been old college chums who had not met
for long time until they ian up against
each other in an 1lth street car last even
ing. The smaller one was accompanied by
two middle-aged men, WHIP locked like pros
porous merchants. while the other ex-col-
leglan, enc of those fellows with a stem
torian voice, was alone. They shook hands
enuslvely, and then began an exchange of
I.eIniniscences, in which such fragments as
Don. Doni you remember the $50 game with
rae and What's become of Jack So
andsow were distinguished all over the
car. Inc big man was rot particularly
care1ul IN bis choice of language, and oc-
caslonally would rip out an cath that might
nave nave done credit to a bearded pard." Sud-
uehiy the other seemed to realize that
something was wrong. and, leaning over,
ne whispered: Say. old man, be a little
in Philadelphia, and these two fellows with
me are couple of my most influential
trustees The big man got off at the next
corner.

Alnrui of Fire.

Yesterday afternoon an alarm of fire was
sounded from bcx 425, and the fire and po-
lice departments responded to the box,
which was on C street southwest between
I'd and Sd streets. There was no fire in the
neighborhood, and 1t was found that the
door of the alarm box had been demolish-
ed. How or by whom the box had been
smashed the police could not ascertain,
but the partly ruined box was removed,
and for short while the neighborhood will
be without an alarm box.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
LIQUOR Licenses.

Three months have passed and the excise
board has not yet completed it's considera-
ton of the liquor question. Over two hun
dr. ed cases are held up, and there is little
prospect that they will be decided until after
the new assessment is returned. Included
among the batch Of applications for licenses
that are held up are a number Of cases with
bad records and unfavorable report. The
excise board seems to have overlooked these,
for they are allowing the applicants to con-
tinue in business. A gentleman interested
in the subject said to Star reporter today
that the present condition of affairs was
the best argument That could be used to
separate the duties of the excise board and
the board of permanent assessors. Men,
ters of one board should not constitute the
other board. He did not think the board of
assessors had the time to consider liquor
applications. He was aware that number
Of cases had been held up. There was no
gooa and substantial reason why some of
these applicants, who had violated the stip-
ulations of the excise board, or who had
offended the law and regulations, should be
allowed to continue in business. 1t was a
premium on keeping unlawful places. 1t
was the duty of the excise board he thought,
to get to work on these bad cases and reject
them. The board had not been consistent
In its action. Some few places, with no
worse record than those now pending, had
been rejected, and the places shut up If
the board could not find time to settle these
cases, he thought another excise board
should be provided.
Police and Contagious Diseases.
The Commissioners today amended the
manual of the police department by adding
to paragraph 162 of the same the following
mo member of the police department in
whose family there exists case of diph-
iberia, scarlet fever or smallpox will be
permitted in any way to come in contact
with the patient suffering with the dis
ease, or those in attendance upon such pa
tient, except that it shall be shown, upon
a certificate of the attending physician, to
the satisfaction of the surgeon of the police
department in that district, that the pres
ence of such member is fmperatively de-
manded al home, in which event leave of
absence shall be issued to him by the sur
geon of his district, in accordance with the
law governing sickness in the police de-
partment.
This rule permits members to visit their
homes for meals, but for no other purpose
Clothing and other personal effects Of a
member which have been subjected to in
lection by the proximity of the patient
must undergo thorough disinfecton before
being again used.
when a policeman has been in direct
contact with the patient, or in the pa
tients room, such policeman must be thor
oughly cleansed by bath and sponging with
some disinfecting solution, to be prescribed
by the surgeon of his district and must
robe himself thoroughly throughout in
clothing that has not been subjected to in
lection, or that has been thoroughly disin-
fected, before he may return to the station

District Appropriation Bill.

The House committee on appropria tons
will not take up the District appropriation
bill again for several days, being now en-
gagged on the legislative bill, and in no par
ticular hurry to resume consideration of
the other one, anyhow. 1t is thought that
when the committee does take up the bill
very careful attention will be given 1t, and
the items for the various charities will be
closely scrutiniZed.
1t seems to be the general opinion that It
IS the desire of the House to have bill re-
ported which will strike out the appropria-
tions for sectarian charities, but not do it
in way which omits one sectarian insti-
tuition but leaves in another.
Committee Room improvements.
A great change has been brought about
in the appearance of the room Of the Sen
ate committee on the District of Columbia.
When Mr.. Mcmillan, chairman of the COM
mittee, took possession Of the room its
furnishings were rot in accord with the
handsome decorations of the ceiling and
walls. The District committee room is
quite generally acknowledged to be the
very handsomest committee room in the
Capitol building. Since Mr.. Mcmillan took
charge Of it the room has become doubIy
entitled to this reputation. portion of
the decoration Of the walls that had been
injured has been reprinted. handsome
velvet carpet has been provided, while
other furniture has been added to the
room. The improvements wrought are not
the result Of any extravagant expenditure,

COLD AND COUGH CURES
Promptly EfeCtual in Curing Grip, Colds
and Coughs and Sure Preventive
Of Pneumonia and All
Lung Diseases,

Colds lead to coughs, coughs to
pneumonia and consumption ;
therefore, it is all important to
check a cold before it reaches the
lungs. Munyon's Cold Cure will
positively break a cold inside of
twenty-four hours if taken as soon
as the cold manifests itself. When
the cold reaches the lungs or
broncial tubes the Cough Cure
should be used alternately every
half hour with the Cold Cure. The
Cold Cure is guaranteed to prevent
pneumonia If used in the begin
ming of a cold. Pneumonia, or in
fiammation of the lungs, can be
controlled by the use of these two
cures.
The Cough Cure positively cures
bronchitis, tickling in the throat,
hoarseness, loss of voice, soreness
of the chest, difficulty in breath
ing, hacking cough and all pull
monary diseases whore the lungs
are not too far consumed or COW
cred with tubercles.
If you are ailing, step into the
nearest drug store and get 25c.
vial of one of Munyon's Remedies.
No matter what your disease, or
how many doctors have failed to
it will give you relief.

Munyon, 1906 Arch street, Phila-
delphia, Pa, answered with free

To the Daily LIGHT:
There is not single phase of
the present sewer situation that
was not foreshadowed more than a
year ago, and the results pointed
out to the administration but
with a blind obstinacy, it has pro-
ceeded to drift along, leaving
everything to the wisdom of Mr..
Pancoast and the generosity of the
contractors. How their blind
faith in the one and their child
like credulity in the promises Of
the other, have been rewarded, is
too apparent to recapitulate. 1t is
useless, however, to mourn over
has beens. Let Mayor Elmendorf
and the council proceed now to do
something. First of all, let them
give those eminent misfits, Messrs.
Gray and Pancoast, the grand
bounce. Then, let them appoint a
sewer commission, to be composed
jointly, say, of three members Of
the council and a like number Of
practical responsible citizens, who
shall be empowered to employ a
competent and experienced engi-
neer to personally supervise the
construction of the work. Then,
eliminating personal and political
results, proceed to build the
sewers.

and begun because railroading
here is profitable. Old mines are
being developed and new ones
opened as mining yields a rich har-
vest. Factories are being estsb-
lished and worked for the simple
reason that the manufacturer can
undersell the wares OF importers
and yet make far greater profit,
and agriculture is improving and
extending. This boom Mexicans
believe is as much due to the de-
probation of silver as it is to a wise
government that is ever fostering
the industries and commerce Of

weigh about five tons, has sunk into
the sand to a considerable depth, but
that portion above the surface measures
90 feet in length, 4 feet in height and
more than 18 feet across the widest
