BR1GHTwooD AVENUE REPAIRS
Comm missiOners Reply To the Com
plaint of a Citizens AssOcintiOn.

Commissioner Reply To the Com
plaint of n CitiEens' Association.
reply was today mailed by the Dis
trict Commissioners to the recent COM
plant of the Brightwood Avenue Citizens
Association against the dangerous condi-
tion of Brightwood Avenue and the condi-
tion Of the railway tracks on the same
Avenue. The Citizens Association main
tanned that the highway is exceedingly
rough and unpleasant for the driving pub
lie. The contention was made that the
public interests and necessities demand
that the Commissioners should not permit
the avenue to be neglected. 1t was also
contended that the road should always be
kept in thorough condition because the
city is SO inadequately provided with lead
ing and direct roadway facilities, and In
the interest of the pleasure driving public
and for the benefit Of those who live in
Washington, Independent Of those inter-
ests which are represented beyond the city
limits.
In their reply the Commissioners state
that the letters of the Citizens Association
had been held in anticipation of whSt is
actually occurring, that is, the reconstruc-
ti0n Of the railway tracks" Continuing,
the reply says that in connection with this
work Of reconstruction a new alignment is
being followed which will result in a con-
siderable change of location, and that any
treatment Of the balance of the roadway
must Of necessity await the completion of
the railroad work. When the work Of rail-
way reconstruction had been completed,
the Commissioners say, they will take suit
able action to place the balance of the
roadway in good condition.

Will Not Replace the Stems.

The District Commissioners do not agree with
n. E. Thompson. OF No. 610 Twelfth Street north
east, in believing that they should replace the
porch which removed from in front of
premises No. 10l5 Second Street northeast, by
District workmen, who were engaged in regrad-
ing the street Thompson not only requested
but also demanded that the District rebuild the
porch, in order, he expressed it, that acci-
dents might be prevented and expense saved for
the District. In considering the matter the
Commissioners referred the complaint to the As
sistant Engineer, who ir charge Of the
grading process. 1t seems that incidental to
the execution of the work. it found
essary to rebuild the brick retaining walls abut-
ting the alley entrance in square 749, bounded
BY and l., First and Second Streets north
east. The property of Thompson. the complain
ant, involved in this proceeding, and in
accomplishing the work the workmen found it
necessary as a matter Of safety TO remove the
steps in front Of Thompson's Second Street prop
erty. 1t is maintained that these steps were in
such a rotten and dilapidated condition that il
was impossible to replace them. The Commits
soners have decided to inform Mr.. Thompson
that, owing to the circumstances under which
the steps were removed. and the fact that the
retaining wall was rebuilt without cost to the
complainant. they cannot replace the old steps
with new ones

No Lady Would Do
Such a Thing.

No lady would take her watch when
out of order, to the first person who dis
played the sign Watches Regulated
and Repaired" But she would carefully
enquire for q man whose acknowledged
skill entitled him to take in charge the
delicate mechanism.
How much more careful should q
woman be, when she herself is disor-
derded, not to entrust the delicate and
complex mechanism of her being to the
first man or woman who displays the
sign Medical Advice Given" No sign
is to be trusted which says Medical
Advice Given" and stops there. Medi-
cal advice can be given only by a ply
sician. An accredited physician Wilt put
his title with his name. Suppose a sign
reads, Medical Advice Given by a
Man" What woman would rot in
stantly say, The fact of being man
doesn't qualify him to give medical ad-
vice. He must be physician to do
that" But suppose the sign reads:
Medical Advice Given by Woman" !"
Is not the fact just as patent that being
a a,oman does not qualify her to give
medical advice. The woman must be
a physician to do that. Medical advice
given by an unskilled woman is Just as
dangerous as if given by an unskilled
man.
In inviting sick and ailing woman to
consult him by letter without charge,
DIR. Pierce points to an experience and
practice of over thirty years, devoted
specially to diseases peculiar to women.
In that time DIR. Pierce and his ASSOCIATE
staff of medical specialists have success
fully treated more than half million
women. All correspondence is treated
as strictly private and sacredly confden-
tial. Letters are promptly answered, and
the answers are mailed in perfectly plain
envelopes, without any printing upon
them. Write without fee and without
fear to DR.. R. v. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and

CRIMINAL COURT AFFAIRS
Several Cases Disposed Of by JUS
tice Clabaugh.
Suggestions of Assistant District At
tOrney ShiIlingtOn Accepted-Mary
Sullivan chnrged-Mary Brown
Released on Personal BOnds-Peter
Henderson's Sentence Suspended.

Several matters which have been hang
ing fire in the Criminal Courts of the Dis
trict for some time were disposed of to-
day by Justice Clabaugh, presiding il
Criminal Court No. l. The action taker
by the court was at the suggestion OF As
sistant District Attorney Joseph Shilling
ton. who explained the circumstances per-
tanning to the several cases under consid-
sration.
The case against Mary Sullivan, who
was convicted of forgery last winter and
who was afterward granted a new trial,
was nol-pressed. 1t was explained to JUS
tice Clabaugh that the new trial was
granted because of the ie,ufficiency of the
evidence offered by the Government, and
rs there is no reason to believe that any
new testimony could be produced in the
event of its being again brought to trial
It was deemed best that it should be dis
posed of.
Mary Brown, who is under indictment
for infanticide, was at the suggestion Of
counsel for the Government, released on
her personal bonds. 1t was explained that
the prosecution, on account Of the absence
Of a most material witness, was not ready
10 proceed Win lnc tTlal, anu, as Tue dC-
cused, has been confined in Jail since Feb
Suary last, II was believed that justice
would be best served by releasing the
prisoner on her personal bonds.
In the case of Peter Henderson. the white
boy who was convicted last Thursday OF
the embezzlement Of $6 from his employer.
J. w. Gregg, Justice Clabaugh suspended
sentence.
The boy was represented by Attorney
Andrew Y. Bradley, who appealed to the
court for leniency because of the previous
good character of the accused He also
supplemented this with the certificates of
. number OF reputable citizens who had
known Henderson for several wears and
youched for his previous good character.
Alice Griffith, alias Beckett, who was
convicted few days ago of petit larceny,
was sentenced to three months in Jail. 1t
was stated to the court that the prisoner
had already been confined in Jail for three
months and that she was now in delicate
condition.
