THE CITY POST OFFICE.
The Money Appropriated to Continue
the Work This Year.

the Work This Year.
During the consideration of the sund-y
civil appropriation bill in the House yestar-
day afternoon the item was reached appro-
priating $275, 900 to continue work on the
Washington city post office, under the pres
ent limit.
Il would like to ask the gentleman from
Illinois in charge Of this bill a question: -
said Mr.. Johnson Of California rs not
that very much lower than the estimate
made by the department for the construc-
tion Of this building as being absolutely
necessary to complete it?"
THAT is sufficient, would say to the gen
t1eman from California" responded Mr..
Cannon 1T Is all that is required for the
building up to the 1st Of March next That
is only year from this time. and the fund
Will be sufficient to carry on the work up to
that time. There Is a desire and recon-
mendation on the part of the supervising
arcnitect. Tor various reasons which I will
not go into now, to break the limit Of the
cost on that building. but that will require
legislation. We recommend, within the
limit, all the money that is necessary for
use between now and March /, 1897"
rs that all that could be used brofita ably
II appropriated"
There is about 100000 still within the
limit that Is not recommended in the appro-
priatlon, because 1t Is not necessary
IF an extra amount was given, would NOT
rapidly?'' 'o'
mo. There is power to contract, the gen.
carried on under contract now" -s
i asked the question because the work
seems to be slower now than tar in lam
ary." - 's''i u
"All the appropriation that is available
for the purpose during the year has been
made" 'eeA'
IF the gentleman thinks so, will not
oner the amendment had intended to offer
at this time" ~ oiei
The appropriation, therefore. stands as
proposed by the committee "'

"All in a Row"

1t is unique sight to view at
Carlsbad the motley row of drinkers
of all nations, languages, manners
and customs, hurrying down in sim
gle file to the boiling .Sprudel Spring,
with earthenware mugs in their
hands, or slung by straps round the
neck or over the shoulder, and pa
tiently waiting their turns to sip of
the precious fluid. For three CEN
turies or more, all sorts and condi-
tons of men, from the king to the
tramp, have made pilgrimages
thither in search of new life or re-
lief from pain. But we cannot in
these competitive days afford the
time and money to travel SO far
afleld, SO it is brought to your door
bottled in its natural and original
form at the Spring, or in powder
cvaporated on the spot, and well
known as the Carlsbad Sprudel Wa
ter, and Carlsbad Sprudel Salt. The
seal of the city of Carlsbad, and the
signature, "EISNER & MENDEL-
SON CO., Sole Agents, New York."
is on every bottle of the genuine.
Beware of limitations.
