CONTROL OF The STREETS
Commissioners Cannot Compel Re-
mOyal Of Unused Tracks.
Attorney for the District Renders
an Opinion In the Case of the
lexington Street Railway.

The attorney for the District yesterday
submitted to the Commissioners an opinion
wherein he holds that proceedings to COM
Eel the lexington and Soldiers Home Rail
on New York avenue, between Fifth and
Seventh streets northwest, would have to
be Instituted by the Attorney General, and
that the Commissioners have no pow er of
initiative In the premises.
He suggests, however, that Congress pass
a law giving the District government
power To compel the removal of unused
tracks
His opinion in full was: "I have con-
sldered the petition of Mr. George W.
Merrill and others, residents Of New York
avenue north west, between Fifth and
Sevenths streets, requesting the removal OF
the abandoned tracks OF the lexington and
Soldiers Home Railroad Company, which,
with Il report of Mr.. Bradshaw, inspector,
you referred to me for action as recommend.
ed by Capt. Black.
1T is q general rule In regard to street
railway corporate ons that when they
cease to exercise their franchises the
Government may proceed to forfeit such
franchises by proceeding In quo war
ranto. Such proceeding in this case
would have to be taken in the name of
the United States at the instance of the
Attorney General.
''The lexington and Soldiers Home Rail
way Company should be notified to re-
move It's abandoned tracks in New York
avenue by day certain and restore the
carriage way to proper condition, other
wise that appropriate legal proceedings
viii be taken to compel such removal.
''This case suggests the necessity of
legislation authorizing the Commissioners
to compel the removal from the streets
Of unused or abandoned tracks"

testimonial of Geo. II. Hearn in a Braz-

case was desperate. talked with Hearu

the use of the Balm at once. There was
not much change for the first two months
but then began to improve and in six

RADICALLY CURES
CATARRH.
COLD IN THE-HEAD

Is acute inflammation and swelling of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ is a long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 8. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into solid mass, SO the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them F.; hence
the loss of smell. The Catarrhal nlicrobe
soon makes its appearance, causing a
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcero is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whcle mucous surface of the nose, hsad
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonslls have
become corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves whole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. 1t will be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds OF the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.
BRAZILIAN BALM is the only known remedy
immature that will accomplish this result.
1t will heal any old sore. Snuff a solu-
