An ANCIENT BELIEF.-The ancients
believed that rheumatism was the
work of lennon within a man.
ANY one who has had an attack OF
sciatica or infammatory rheumatism
will agree that the infection is demon
lac enough to warrant the belief. It
has never been claimed that Chamber
lain's Pain Balm would cast out
demons, but it will cure rheumatism,
and hundreds bear testimony to the
truth OF this statement. One appli-
cation relieves the pain. and this quick
relief which it affords is alone worth
many times its cost. For sale By Dr..

ACT is CONSTITUTIONAL
Courts Decision Respecting Rhode
Island Avenue Extension.

In the matter of the proposed extension
of Rhode Island avenue Justice HagRer
presiding in the District Court, today made
a ruling sustaining the constitutionality Of
the act providing for the extension in ques-
ton. The act was attacked on the ground
that it sought to assess benefits against
property without reference to the actual
benefits received
The court was asked by parties Interested
in the Moore tact OF land substantially to
instruct the jury that in assessing benefits
accruing from the opening of the avenue
II should only assess the actual present
immediate benefits from the actual taking
of the property without regard to the
future possible opening Of the street itself
and its Improvement. and that IL should
assess only such actual benefits as il
might find, although such did not equal one
half the damages assessed for opening the
street, which in terms was provided for in
The act.
The foregoing prayers We're overruled by
Justice Hagner, Who holds that il is the
DUTY OF the jury to assess the property
within the area designated by Congress-
with one-half of the condemnation dam
ages, In proportion to the benefits received
by each lot within the area designated.
The instructions of the court will be given
to the jury Monday next.

MANY ACRES INVOLVED.
The ChOctaw and Chickasaw Case in
the Supreme Court.

Solicitor General Richards yesterday en-
tered a motion in the United States Su-
preme Court to advance the cases of the
Wichita Indians and affiliated bands. The
case involves large tracts of land in In
dian Territory.
ut is desired" said the solicitor, Ito
allot a portion of the kiowa, Comanche
and Apache reservation among the In
dams now living thereon in severalty as
soon as possible, and also to dispose of
any unallotted balance of said reservation.
as we'll as of the district known as Greer
county but none of these things can be
done until the above appeals are decided.
.'The present uncertainty as to the title
of the three tracts of land aggregating
5,224 461 acres, prevents the United States
from making any final disposition of them,
thereby seriously interfering with the pros
perity of a large number of Indians who
are kent on their old reservations without
any permanent individual ownership in the
lands that they occupy, and consequently
without those Inducements to industry and
progress which are furnished by the sys-
tenn of alIotments of land in severalty.''

COULD NOT COMPLY,
commissioners Deny Request 70
Public Lamp in LangdOn.

The District Commissioners have denied
the request of Mr.. ]. G. Duffy and other
residents of Langdon for public lamp at
the intersection of Rhode Island and Mills
avenues. In submitting the request the
petitioners stated that the patrons of ths.
City and Suburban railway a this point are
obliged to signal the cars after nightfall
with lighted match or other light, max
ing it dangerous, in their opinion, in board
ing the cars, as they often run past, and
in returning are liable to strike the per-
son attempting to board the car.
The electrical engineer, Mr.. Walter c. AL
len, to whom the matter was referred, has
recommended that the City and Suburban
Railway Company be asked If it cannot
maintain a cluster OF incandescent lights
at the point mentioned. AS such lights, if
provided. would only burn during the time
the current of the railway company is in
operation, the District, Mr.. Allen points
out, could not pay for its service, as the
law requires all public lamps to burn con-
tinuouSly during the night The point NEIL
toned being SO far from the nearest lamp,
Mr.. Allen is of the opinion that it would
be hardship upon the lighting company to
require it to light public lamp there. Mr.
Aliens recommendations have been ap-
proved by the Commissioners.

Matter sin Unsettled.

The District Commissioners yesterday
afternoon again considered the application
OF the Anacostia Railway Company for per-
mission to construct plow pit at the uorth-
ern end of the bridge across the Eastern
branch at the footYof 11th street southeast,
with the necessary overhead wire connec-
lions with the wires on the bridge. The
attorney for the District some time ago
advised the Commissioners that the law
expressly prohibits overhead wires for. such
a purpose within the city limits. Suisse
auently Mr. j. ]. Darlington, the attorney
of the railway company, filed brief upon
the subject with the Commissioners, in
which he claimed that the law authorizing
by implication, the granting of such au-
therity to the company. The matter was
not finally settled yesterday, the question
being referred to the Engineer Commits
sioner, who will submit an opinion to his
associates in few days.

In chapter in regard to the clerical
force of the pay department, General Bates
says:
TOO much cannot be said regarding the
zeal and intelligence of the regular trained
force of clerks in this office. No enlisted
men or commissioned officers of the army
nave shown more patriotic zeal for the ac-
complishment of the duties imposed upon

such that only trained clerks are of great
