This will prove especially beneficial
and acceptable TO a large number of citi-

half century we have been residents of
Georgetown city, paying city taxes and
receiving comparatively few benefits es-

TO ABANDON THE CABLE.
The Electrical System for the C.
Iumbia RAILWAY cnunon

The Electrical SysteE, for the Co
iumbia Railway Company.
Before many months the old cable sys-
tenn OF the Columbia Railway COMPANY
will be thing of the past Theodore ].
King, superintendent of the company, mas
made application to the District Coinmis-
sioners for a permit to change the exist
ing construction OF the line to a modern
underground electric system similar to
that in use upon the Metropolitan and
Capital Traction Companies systems in
this city. The Commissioners approved
the request of the superintendent without
much discussion.
The work of changing the conduits viii
not be begun until some time In January.
1t is hoped to start a large force Of
workmen with view of rushing the work
10 an early completion. Mr.. King re-
quested the Commissioners to grant an
immediate permit for the placing of about
eighteen manhole boxes in the roadway
of II Street, between Fourteenth and Fif-
teenth Streets northeast, and the request
has been granted.
Before work on the main line of the
road begins plans of the roadbed and de-
tails Of reconstruction viii be prepared
and submitted to the Engineer Depart
ment of the District for approval.
AS 1t is difficult To construct an undc~-
ground road in the winter, the officials of
the railway company are not desirous of
making change of motive power until
the beginning Of the new year.
The Columbia Railway is the only re-
manning local street railway line depend
ing upon the cable as Il motive power
When the cable system was installed on
the old Seventh Street line. about ten
years ago, marking the first step toward
the accomplishment of rapid transit in
che city. il was the most modern rlethcd
of street car propulsion in vogue.
But the underground electric system,
which was subsequently installed on the
Metropolitan system, was found to be
the cheapest. neatest. most comfortable
here or abroad and gave such general
satisfaction that all the local street rail-
way officials began TO consider the mat
ter of adopting the new system. When
the old Central Power Station which
furnished power for the movement of
the Avenue and Fourteenth Street cars
of the Capital Traction Company, was
destroyed last year. the directorate of the
company, which had long been consider
ing the feasibility of the plan, at once
adopted the underground electric system
Shortly afterwards it was decided to
change the motive power on the Seventh
Street line TO the underground system.

TO PRESCRIBE PENALTIES.
Rules VIII BE Prepared by the Dis
trfct COmmissiOners.


According to an opinion rendered yes
terday by s. T. Thomas the attorney for
the District of Columbia, the District
Commissioners have authority to make
all needful rules and regulations for the
-contrel arid-care of the street parkngs.
He rules that such authority is vested
in them by the act of Congress approved
July ], 1895. and maintains further that
they have. the. authority to impose GER
regulations.
The Commissioners approve the attor-
ney,s opinion and will shortly prepare
rules. ii is said in accordance with the
suggestions offered by the attorney, to
make the law effective.
The opinion was rendered in connection
with complaints made by Randall Webb,
and others, regarding the occupation of
parking space at the corner of Nineteenth
and H Street northwest, for business
purposes. Attorney Thomas says that
section OF the act Of July l last con-
fers the authority and that there would
seem TO be no defect in the law
--r''The difficulty with the proceeding in
in the Police Court" says Attorney
Thomas, referred to by Mr. Webb, was
that Garden, the defendant, was prose-
cuted for u supposed violation of
statute to which there was no penalty at
tached- The act of Congress provides no
penalty. but authorizes the Commission
ers TO make rules and regulations in re-
gard TO parking, and to prescribe peral-
ties for their enforcement. My opinion is
that the Commissioners should make
rules and regulations for the government
of street parking and prescribe penalties
for their enforcement. When this is done
the occupation of the street space may
be prohibited

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia
and Indigestion.


The national disease of Americans Is in
digestion or in its chronic form, dyspep-
sia, and for the very reason that it is so
common many people neglect taking
proper treatment for what they consider
trifling stomach trouble, when as a mat
ter of fact Indigestion lays the foundation
for many incurable diseases. No person
with a vigorous. healthy stomach will fall
a victim to consumption. Many kidney
diseases and heart troubles date their be-
ginning from poor digestion; thin, nervous
people are really so because their stom-
achs are out of gear; weary, languid.
faded out women owe their condition to
imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflicted with weak digestion it Is not sur
prising that nearly every secret patent
medicine on the market claims to be q
cure for dyspepsia, as well as a score of
other troubles, when in fact, as DR.. Wer-
thier says, there is but one genuine dys-
pepsia cure which is perfectly safe and
reliable, and moreover. this remedy is not
a patent medicine, but it is scientific
combination of pure pepsin Gree from ami
NAL matter. vegetable essences, fruit
salts and bismuth. 1t is sold by druggists
under name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets No extravagant claims are made for
them, but for indigestion or any stomach
trouble. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
far ahead of any remedy yet discovered
They act on the food eaten, no dieting is
necessary, simply eat all the wholesome
food you want and these tablets will digest
1t. A cure results. because all the stomach
needs is Il rest. which Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets give by doing the work Of di-
gestion.
