VALUABLE ADVICE TO SUFFERERS
Mr.. A. S. Dent Testifies to the Re.
markabIe Skill of Doctors Mccoy
and Cowde In the Cure of Bron.
chftis.

The ,cise and prudent ones ,cho desire a
cure in the shortest possible time at the least
expense should bear in mind at this season Of
the gear iohdt Doctors Nc Coy and Co,cden
hare Arrays endeorored to impress upon their
patients; namely, that Summer is the most ia
pcrabte time for the treatment and cure Of
catarrhal conditions. 1t is during the sum,
n,er that nature lends her aid to Me~icork Of
the physician, the liability Of catching cold is
reducedto to the minimum, and the climatic con-
ditions are Jfdrorable for a care. As rule
one month s treatment in tie summer is north
70 months treatment in the ,ointer. No ad-
rice corld be more rdlua0le to those uho suffer
from, diseases Of a catarrhal nature than this.

A kit of carpenters tools were stolen
from q house in course of erection at
the cornerof Fourteenth and H award streets
last week. The theft was reported to the
police by Contractor Handy, and De-
tective Sutton was assigned to the case. The
detective learned that some tools had been
offered for sale at Centert Market, and re-
covered them from countrynan, who said

CARE OF THE PUBLIC PARKS.
Superintendent Wilson Submits His
Annual REPORT.

The report oi impiO, enenls and repairs
in the pubic grounds anu buildings, maze
by Col. Wilson, the superintendent, was sub
niitted TO the chief OF engineers of the War
Department yesterday.
AS is customary curing the summer
months, extensive Improvements have teen
made. In all the parks OF the northwest sec
tion the grass has been cut, the trees nd
bushes pruDed, and all necessary repairs
made. In most OF them asphalt walks have
replaced the old dirt ones, anu over one
hundred new benches have been placed in
the several Reservations.
The work Will be carried into the other
sections OF the city during the month of
August.
Two new roads have been cut in the
reservation around the Washington Mon
ument, leading from near Fifteenth and
B streets, one to Fourteenth street, and
the other to the main road running to the
monument.
AS soon as the Commissioners grant the
necessary permits electric lights will be
placed in Lafayette, Franklin, judiciary
and Lincoln parks.
The report also states that one Of the
largest trees situated in the grounds south
of the executive mansion, which has 6een
dying for the past fifteen years, had to be
cut down.
1t was found that the roots were entirely
dead. This result was probably brofght
about by an electric wire which was laid
near 1t in 1881.
Owing to the crowds which attended the
Christian Endeavor convention the number
of visitors to the Washington Monument has
been much greater than uusal, $3.50
ascending to the top during the month.
This makes grand total of about mil
lion and Il una rter nerSpDS w hO ha va ri 81 od
the top of the monument since it was first
opened. 1t is a remarkable fact that none
of the visitors have been injured.
In speaking of the public reservations,
Col. Wilson says that he intends making
Hancock Park, at Market space, the pret-
tiestfn the city. To do this he will have to
cut down the trees which now stand there,
but this will be more than compensated for
by the beauty Of the park when completed.

MINOR DISTRICT MATTERS.
Test Case of the New Law Relating to
Lot Drainage,


The first test of the. new law to provide
for the drainage of lots in the District
was had before Judge Mills in the police
court yesterday, in the trial of John Wells
Of No 914 Sixth street, upon an in
formation filed by Inspector E. W. Whit
taker of the health office.
Wells had been notified by the inspector
to make the connection of his premises
with the sewer and water main in the
adjacent streets, and his failure TO comply
within the specified time was followed by
his arrest.
Judge Mills took his personal bonds, to
extend over period of fifteen days, in
order to give him time to comply with
the law, and this he says he will do
AS heretofore stated in The Times, the
requirements of the law are to be strictly
enforced beysprovidc that each origi-
nal lot or subdivisional lot situated on any
street in the District where there is pub
lie sewer shall be connected with such sewer
III such manner that the drainage of the
premises, whether water or liquid refuse
of any Kind ...'.exceptfecaia and urinal matter,
shall be caused to flow into the sewer.
Where there may be sewer and water main
in the street, the drain into Ja sewer shall
include all refuse without exception.
The result of yesterdays trial will doubt
less be accepted as a precedent by those
who receive a like notice, and each will
yield obedience to the Health Office man-
date.
President Henderson. of the North Capt.
tol and lexington Citizens Association,
and Mr. Servin chairman Of the associa-
tion's committee on railways, called on the
Commissioners yesterda y to say a word in
support OF the recent official order re-
quiring change In the time schedule OF
the lexington and Soldiers Home Railway
Company.
TIE Comm fssfQners recently ordered the
company to substitute a ve-minute sched
ule in lieu OF the one now in force, which
calls for a car each ten minutes, on the
North Capitol street and Brookland branches,
respectively. The company asks that the
order be rescinded, but the citizens take
the other side with emphasis.
The two gentlemen named also asked
for an item In the next estimates to be
made by the Commissioners for the con-
Struction of a school building, somewhere
in the vicinity Of North Capitol and r
streets, to acco mmodate the pupils in
West lexington, Bloomingdale, and other
points in that nefghborhood
The Commissioners were asked to give
the matter their Endorsement, and promised
to~comply Y, IL possible.

WASHINGTON LADS NERVE.

Burton Browns Presence of Mind
Saved Sailing Party.
Burton s. Brown, the eldest son of Rev.
O. A. Brown, OF Foundry n. Z. Church, has
recently crowned himself with glory for
heroic conduct in saving "a vacation party
from watery graves at Atlantic High
lands. N. j. Young Brown is stopping at
the resort with his parents.
He started for d cruise across the bay a
few days ago, in company with halr
dozen friends, all older than himself. The
sail was made in catboat and the PARTY
was on the return trip from Sandy Hook
when a sQuall came up.
All on board were badly frg htened
save Burton, who retained enough pres
epce of mind to haul the. sails and drop
the anchor. But for his heroic and rapid
work the whole party would have been
lost. The blow was soon over and the
party returned TO Atlantic Highlands.

DISASTROUS FRUIT SEASON.
Sicily Has Lost More Than So 500,
600 This Year.

Consul Caughy, reporting TO the Depart
ment Of State on the fruit trade of Sicily,
says that the season OF 1886, now draw
ing to close, will leave behind it a record
that will have 10 rival in the history of
the industry. Over two and a half million
boxes were exported with an average loss
of 81 per box.
The cause Of this deplorable condition
is an ipdjscriuiinate distribution of letters
of credit among people who were absolutely
irresponsible. THIS resulted in the ship
ment of fruit of the cOmnonest quality, and
in enormous quantities. The heavy loss did
not fall upon the shippers. While over
So 500, 900 have been lost by importers
and bankers in thei United States since
October last, there has not been single
failure In Messina.
