to be the largest meeting that has ever
been held in Washington by the friends

sold, and the children of the District are
busy gathering in the free tickets which
the society gives to them at its head
quarters, No. 81 New York avenue north

believe that the one fare for round trip
will be issued by all the lines, including
the Capital Traction and Metropolitan
roads. 1t is understood that many of the

excellent program OF the amphitheater
There is to be no advance in the price of
admission Coupons on all the roads Civ

\ NEW ELECTRIC MOTOR.
Advantages Claimed Over the Troi-
ley and Underground system.

y
Capt J. NJ. Murphy, it's inventor gave
an exhibition yesterday at the residence
of Mr.. Albert L. Sardo, in this city, OF the
50 fety third rail- electric system. 1t was
announced that this was the first expo
sition cf the invention 10 any others thda
those financially interested.
In general terms, the invention is Il new
application OF electricity to Iocomotion
with tue best appliances for safetyto tray-
eIers and the general public.
Capt. Murphy has been perfecting his
discovery for two years. At the u'n-..s,
he says, there is q track l37 feet long,
cars made in proportion to the model track,
the POW er house." and, in fact, the whole
system, which he claims TO be his own.
The exhibition yesterday was made in
the presence of President Griswold, of
the Washington and Anacostia line; John
l.. jordan, esq, Mr.. Albert L. Sardo and
electrical experts invited there for the
occasion. 1t was demonstrated that the
claims made for the electrical appliances
ard their functions We're made good.
Like all inventions of value, the dis
tinctive use OF electricity in this railroad
system is simple. The electrical power
ETC.. either by the underground or over
head system To the wheels.
The cars Test on three rails, as the
name of the system indicates, on the
middle, or third rail very lightly, as
it is from and through this that the
power is transmitted TO the cars by pat
ented connections, switches, etc, some OF
which were fully patented only yesterday y
by Capt. Murphy.
the inventor and demonstrators used a
section OF track from twenty-five to thirty
feet long, The car used was in weight
in proportion to weight OF rack and power
and was complete in every detail. Wien
the power was applied this car made
straight runs, around sharp curves, vi,
grades, paused on grades, and was rever seti
up OF down grades. 1t did everything, in
fact, which the best motors are seen doing
every day. Capt. Murphy claims. however,
that with six volts his car climbed an / 8
per cent glade. 1t is said that it has
climbed 25 per cent grade.

EXTENSION OF THE STREETS.
Attorney Thomas Refers to the Diff
ficulty of Trying Cases.

Attorney Z. F.. Thomas has written the
following letter to the Commissioners of
the District on the subject of trying the
street extension cases:
August 21, 1897.
"Hon. Commissioners, etc, etc.
.Gentlemen: Replying to your letter OF
the goth Instant regarding the street ex,
tension cases, have TO say, in view of
the regular and Increasing work of my

plates the tiial of those cases by u
Judge, with a jury ih ATTENDANCE, as in
ordinary cases, and so far as subdivisions
are concerned, that the cases should tie
proceeded With without delay. The in.
terests OF property owners affected also re.
qmres that the cases be disposed of as
speedily as possible.
There are forty-seven subdivisions EN-.
braced within the first section, each sub
division being a case, one Of which tthe
Dcnnlson and LeighJon), No. 419, has
been Partially disposed of. II t.,os week

several days after 1t was submitted to
them to II AXE up their verdict.
There are about ! 90 parcels OF prop
erty Improved and unimproyed, in the Den
nison and Leighton subdivision, repre-
sented by perhaps sixty individ nal owners,
while the Meridi an lIill subdivision also i'll
section l. contains about 400 parcels, rep
sented by about $50 Individual owners.
whilst case No. 419 may not be q
fair sample, because of the novelty OF
statute had not then received judicial con-
ST! uction, yet it is apparent that con-
siderable time viii be required TO try
each case, and ] would be greatly sur
prised II a court year would not be con-
suned in tile trial of the forty-seven cases
in the first section, although, after the
cases get wen under way, better progress
may be made.
'.Section z, embracing 32 subdivisions,
is very nearly ready for final approval /.
When the map OF this section is fled III
the surveyors office, court proceedings
as to the Subdivisions affected must be
taken within thirty days from the date OF
filing the map.

Assistant Secretary Yanderlip said yes
terday that tomorrow OF next day he
would probably have something TO say
relative TO the report of the committee
which has been Investigating the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing. He said that
he was not familiar with the report and

an opinion that 1t would not contain a
recommen daJion TO dismiss Claude NJ John

Mr. Vanderlip was under the impression
yesterday that Mr.. Johnson would not be
disturbed, but that some changes IN the

COLD THEHEAD

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 /; hence
the loss of smell. The Catarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing
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 tonsils have
become a corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves thewhole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
tion and death. 1t will be seen that
nothing can RADICAL y 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 solu-
ton of the Balm and warm Water. az

when the cable one day announced that
Victoria Woodruff and married John
Biddulph Martin, the head of financial
institution whose history dates back to
the early days of the sixteenth century.
and that Miss Tennessee Clafin had
married Sir Francis Cook, an enormous
" wealthy baTOneJ, who, even at that
time. was famous throughout Europe
as the owner Of the Montserrat estate
al Cintra. the beauties Of whose palace
and whose groves are sung by Byron in
his memorial "Childe Harold" This
news seemed so incredible that for some
time il was not believed.
Both women returned to this country
in April 1890, and their coming was
actually prefaced with an announce
ment made in paragraph of the Lon
don Court Journal" which bore about
it suspicion of Victoria Woodhulls au-
thOrship, and numerous copies Of which
were sent to this country in advance of
Mrs. Martins arrival. The lines re-
ferred TO, read as follows:
Mrs. J. Biddulph Martin, who, doz-
en- years ago, when she was Mrs. Victo-
ria Woodruff, drew such crowds to her
lectures in st. James hall, has received
a pressing invitation TO visit her native
country once more lect-
ure in the principal cities Of the United
States, the invitation being accompanied
by the offer of 1000 for each lecture.
This popular lecturer and philanthropist
has not accepted this invitation, her
health not permitting her TO undertake
so arduouS an engagement; but, were
she to do so, she would. il is said, give
away in charity the whole Of the pro-
ceeds. However, she leaves for New
York in a few days. and it may, there
fore. not be out of place to mention
that her lectures had the effect of rails
ing the moral tone OF all who came I'M
der their influence.
Victoria Woodruff raising the moral
tone of a community was a suggestion
to make angels weep. Mr. Martin &C
eompanied the sisters on their voyage
to this country, 'and later they were
Joined by Sir Francis Cook, but, strange
TO say. even the unblemished reputa-
tons of their spouses did not win for
them a welcome in this country, and
they soon returned to England.
