A pAScnnocs INTRUDER.
To Re sterniy GrsppIed with and
Quickly Thrown Ont.

"Once more In the clutches OF my oid
enemy the grip" you say some morning
when you awake up coughing and sneez-
ing. Your eyes are watery, your head feels
as II some force inside OF 1t were bent on
splitting 1t as n charge of gunpowder
splits rock Every muscle is sim and
sore. Your very bones ache.
Oh, we all know the symptoms OF the
grip. A steady draught through an open
door, r pair OF wet feet left undried too
long. or short walk in the cutting air
without an overcoat, and the mischief is
done.
How shall It be undone? Evidently there
IS only one remedy. The blood must
move more briskly on its way, so as to
warm the tissues near the skin, and at the
same time relieve from congestion the
sluggish organs lying deep I'm the body.
And what will accomplish this? Answer:
Only a pure stimulant to stir. stimulate,
and rouse the powers and throw the in
truding grip out OF the system. Nature
must be assisted. The only known pure
medicinal stimulant is Duffy's pure malt
whiskey. "a stitch in time saves nine
is an adage that would never have grown
so old IL IL did not embody an imperish-
able truth. Remember this ancient say
ing and take Duffy's pure malt whiskey az
the first chilly symptom that the grip Is

WIFI Try 10 Raise Funds to Attend
Innugurnl-Dhe Blues Election.
The commandants Of companies OK the
First Regiment met in headquarters last
night to consider the ACCESSIBILITY OF at
tending the inaugural. Colonel Jones pre-
sided.
The officers were unanimous In the opin-
ion that it would be TO the interest OF the
city and OF the State 10 have good rep
resentation of its military in the parade
on March 4th. The present state OF the
regimental and company finances, II was
stated, would not stand the strain or the
necessary expenditure, since II requires
al the available funds 70 maintain the
companies but the officers, believing that
the citizens would look at the matter in
the Same light as they did, decided TO
make an appeal 20 the public to aid them.
The cost of the expedition. 10 was esu-
mated. would be 500. With this sum IL
would be possible TO appear in Washing
ton with full ranks, and TO make a very
creditable display.
Colonel Jones said 10 a Dispatch re-
porter last night that he had made all
possible inquiries as TO the cheapest
method OF transportation. The regiment
he said was willing TO do the necessary
work II they were supported by the pub
lie. and he believed they would make a
very presentable appearance.
The arrangements for the entertainment
to be given tomorrow night for the bene-
fit Of the Walker Light Guards uniform
fund are ell complete. and the anair
promises to be a grand success.
The basketball team had their unal
practice last night, and the boys are all
In splendid form. The Little Amazons Will
have their last practice drill this after
noon. The tug Of war, which also forms
part OF the interesting programme, VIII
prove 10 be a decidedly novel feature.
THE BLUES ELECTION TONIGHT.
Much interest is being evinced IN the
Blues election, which takes place at the
Arlnory tonight. In Company A, First
Lieutenant Woon having been placed on
Major Cutchins's stan, the vacancy Will
have ~ be supplied, and II Is generally
accented that Lieutenant CheatwOod Will
he chosen. In this event there will be
lively sklrmish for the second lieutenant
~ between Second Sergeant James l.
Hazen and Third Sergeant W. Peter
Kline. .o,-..,..
In company b the retirement OF Captain
Vaughan. and the refusal OF First Leu
tenant Pegram to accept the eaptaiucy'
has brought about a lively contest for the
nosition. Second Lieutenant w. 5. i.
Mayo Is the most favored candidate and
sergeants Bidgood and Warren and Pri-
vate Dougherty are out for The second
Iis,tenancy. in event that Lieutenant
Navo succeeds TO the captalncy.

THE RICHMOND DIspArCH- "WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY IT, 1897
m THE FIRE DEPARTMENT..
President Frischkorn Discusses
How IL Would Operate undiy.

Mr. John ii. rrischkorn. Prcsidea' OF
the Board of Fire Commissioners yes
terday. IN speaking Of the matter o. re-
trenchment IN the FIRE Department, SAID;
"rhe laws governing our department. are
rather peculiar. IN the frst place they
prescribe that the City Council snan not
make our appropriation any less ihan or
predecessors received.
Notwithstanding this fact. they could
cut us down considerably. Our predeces-
sors received SlSAe. while the present
board are given $4,000 annually to sup
port the department. so, II the Council
felt 80 disposed they could cut US down
by $4,000. But what will Thea become
OF our department? a city ordinance
SAYS that the force shall only be In
creased with the consent OF the Council.
"in the past that body has .aken ac-
ton" continued President FrischkoTn,
"by which the force Of the Fire Depart
ment was increased from eight 20 twelve
companies. II would also require icgs-
lation OF the Council 10 decrease the
force.
This would be the natural consequence
II our appropriation was TO be CUT down
unless the sum Of $4,000 was 10 be OK
pended I'm the maintenance and support
Of twelve companies.
IL hardly think. however, that the
citizens OF Richmond would be willing 10
have the efficiency OF the department de-
stroyed by such a material reduction OF
the force. II would certainly largely
endanger the property In this city, ana
increase the premium on insurance poll
cics."
