Trolley on the Navy Yard Br,dx.

II Is now announced that work Is about
to begin on the projected railway line con-
meeting Congress Heights. beyond Ana
costa. with the city, and the time has
come to demand a settlement of the Ques-
Hon opened In the autumn when the Com
missioners agreed to grant a permit for
the continuation Of the overhead wire sys-
tenn 10 the north end of the Navy Yard
bridge The Star pointed out at the time
that the act granting the charter provided
for an overhead system outside the city
limits and for an underground electric
device within the boundary. In its news
columns II further demonstrated that IL
was unquestionably the intention of the
Senate District committee that framed the
bill. to prohibit the use of the overhead
wire on the bridge. though a strict inter-
probation of the act itself might depend
upon the exact meaning of the term city
hmits-' II was contended then that the
city's area extended to the shore line on
the AnacOstia side of the river, and this
assertion was backed by authoritative
opinions that were not satisfactorily met
Yet no decision was rendered by any tri-
bunal for as the permit was not actually
Issued the matter did not come to a focus.
Should II be decreed that the bridge lies
within the city limits an overhead wire
would be illegal. 1t fs pleaded on behalf
Of the road that an underground system Is
not practicable on a draw bridge. an argu-
ment of little force In view of the fact that
navigation In the Eastern Branch above
the bridge is now open only to scows and
row boats. and that the opening Of the
draw Is such rarity as to be a cause of
local wonderment. 1t is known that the
Senate committee did not stipuIate-as 1t
thousht-for an underground system on the
bridge until 1t had been assured by a COM
petent electrical engineer that there was

When the weather is not to his liking
And he's taken a terrible cold
Through imprudence audacious and strik-

He feels that he's licensed to scold.
In manners as fierce as Viking
He forgets how the mischief was done,
And his rage will resound
In remarks most profound
On the way that the governments run.
IL too freely the sun sheds caloric,
Or. If frostward the climate should stray;
II the jests seem too fatty historic.
When he's seeking for mirth at the play;
If he's purchased book sophomore
Or encountered narrowing pun,
His wrath he'll display
In the things that he'll say
On the way that the governments run.

SOMETHING TO DEPEND ON.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm OF
Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speaking of
DIR. Kings New Discovery, says that last
winter his wife was attaked with La
Grippe, and her case grew so serious that
physicians at Cowden and Pana could do
nothing for her. 1t seemed to develop into
Hasty Consumption. Having DR.. Kings
New Discovery in store, and selling lots
of it, he took a bottle home, and to the
surprise of all she began to get better
from first dose, and half dozen dollar bot
ties cured her sound and well. DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs
and Colds is guaranteed to do this good
work. Try it. Free trial bottles at any

Mankind.
There IS always more or Tess suspicion
ttached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes man so overfows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
lie that resident of Kalamazoo, Mich.
desires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
orm of nervous debility; relieves them OF
all the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. As
it costs nothing to try the experiment it
ould seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
eeply interested in a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
igor, without which they continue to live
an existence of untold misery. AS the
remedy in question was the result of
many years research as to what combina-
ton would be peculiarly effective in re-
storing to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once A re-
quest to Fl. G. Odds, Box 1922, Kalama-
n =, Mich, stating that you are not send
ing for the prescription out of idle curl
osity, but that you wish to make use of
the medicine by giving it a trial, will be
answered promptly and without evidence
as to where information came from.
The prescription is sent free and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut IS out and send to Mr..
dds that he may know how you came to
