Drngeists' Phones Removed

People who rushed 10 the nearest drug
store yesterday morning to make
''hurry-up' call over one of the "dime-in-
the-slot' telephones were inconvenienced
and disappointed. They found that this
particular kind of phone has gone out
OF business in the District. At least this
Is true to such an extent that 1t is safe
TO say that a majority of the slot phones
VIII be removed from the drug stores in
the city. This course of action was de-
termined on by the local druggists some
time ago, when il was decided that the
machines would be removed on the lst of
May Some OF the phones were removed
yesterday and there is hardly any doubt
that nearly 100 will be removed or silenced
today.

observe good faith and justice
toward all nation ; cultivate peace
aud harmony with all !; religion and

can it be that good policy does not
equally enjo.n it ? 1t will be worthy
of a free, enlightened and at no dis
tant period. q great nation, to give to
mankind the magnanimous and too
novel example Of q people always
guided by an exalted justice and be-
nevOlence. In the execu-
ton of such a plan, nothing is more
essential than that permanent, invet-
{, ate ant'pathies against particular
nations and passionate attachments
for others should be excluded and
that in place of them just and annie.
able feelings toward all should be
cultivated. The nation which induI.
ges toward another an habituaI ha.
tired or az habitual fondness is in
some degree q slave. It is u slave
to its luminosity or 10 its affection,
either of which is sufficient to lead it
astray from lts duty aud its interest.
1t is our true policy to
steer clear of permanent alliances
With any portion Of the foreign
world, 50 far, | mean, as we are now
at liberty to do it for let me not be

maxim no less applicable to public

Taking care always to keep ourselves
By suitable establishments. on a re.
