WHAT WEYMOUTH IS.

The appalling ignorance of barmen in this city, and grog shop proprietors in general, should stop men from drinking. Over 100000 citizens are poisoned every year in saloons. They don't know it, and never realize it un- til too late A disease that is insidi- ous grips them, and from it they never get away. All who drink die lingering deaths. But as to vermOuth-why, it is about as harmless a t;pple as one can find. I mean the Italian product, made in Turin. It is nothing more than sweet white wine, worth about IA cents a gallon, seasoned with many kinds of herbs, among them varieties of wormwood. Here is a list of the ingredients: Nutmeg. Peruvian bark. mild wormwood, sweet flag. cardamon, centaury, elecampane root, gentian. angelica root, wormwCod grana, alco- hol, water, tonca beans, cOriander seeds, cinnamon, dittany, sage, basil, iris, raisins, mint, marshmallOw flow CTS sweet marjoram, and, of course, the white wine.-Netw York Press.

A MODERN CoURTsHTP.

'I suppose that some Of her fool friends must have let it out" laughed the Atwater street commission man, who was at the same lunch table With his banker, ttbut it's true, all right enough"
 Pretty sharp work, wasn't it?"

She was going east for a visit. and had trunks full of finery On the train mutual friend introduced us, and it was one of those first-sight eases. And things came our way. We talked fast. we had a delightful little luncheon at a mountain station, we passed through three tunnels, had a big box of bon bons, refreshed with ice cream soda when we reached Philadelphia, and went from the fountain to the minis ter''

The streets in the central part Of town ought to be improved now so that lby the time the tide of winter travel sets in this direction the mud holes will be thing of the past. Why doesn't the city council take hold of this matter? The property holders could, with little persuasion, be in- duced to cooperate, and the result would be beneficial to property and to public health. The council has chance to make popular hit which It ought to improve.

HOW TO DO IT.

If you toot your little whistle and then lay aside your horn, there's not a soul will ever know that such man was born. The man who owns his acres is the man who blows all day, and he who keeps a humping is the man who makes it pay. The man who advertises with short and sudden jerk, is the man who planes the printer because 1t didn't work. The man who gets the business uses brainy print CTS ink, not a cutter and splut- ter, but an lad" that makes you think; and he who plans his ad- vertisement as he plans h. well-bought stock has the future of his business just as solid az a rock.-Exchange.

SMOKE NUISANCE.
Comm issiOners Intend to Fully En-
force the Law Controlling It.

Congress, by an act approved February 2,
1899, provided that on and after six months
from the approval of the act the emission
of dense or thick black or gray smoke or
cinders from any smokestack chimney
used in connection with any stationary en-
CINE, steam boiler or furnace of any de-
scription within the District of Columbia
shall be deemed and hereby declared to be
a public nuisance: Provided, That nothing
in this act shall be construed as applied
to chimneys of buildings exclusively for
private residences"
The act further provides that the owner.
agent, lessee or occupant of any building
from the smokestack or chimney of which
after the expiration of the said period
shall be deemed and held guilty of creating
a public nuisance and of violating the pro-
visions of said act. The penalty provided
more than 500 for each and every offense,
and each and every day wherein the pro-
visions of the act shall be violated shall
constitute separate offense.
In order to provide for the enforcement
of the provisions of the act in question the
District Commissioners are directed to de-
tail from time to time an inspector in
spectors of the health department, whose
duty it shall be, under the supervision of
the health officer of the District, to cause
to be prosecuted all persons violating the
provisions of the act. No discrimination
shall be made against any method or de-
vice which may be used for the prevention
of smoke, provided said method or device
accomplishes the purpose of the act.
The Commissioners, believing that the ap-
prevail of the act is sufficient notice to all
persons concerned will not, it is stated
pfomuigate it or any regulations, es-
pecially as the act gave ample time
in which to permit the people of the
District to so. arrange matters to
remove any liability on their part
Cor violations of the law 1t is known
that the Commissioners intend to fully en-
force the law, and all offenders will be
promptly prosecuted, whether they use
smoke consumers or not.

CONVICTED OF MURDER.
Vigorous Effort Being Made to Save
William X. Reeds Life.

The family and the attorneys of William
K. Reed, colored, convicted of the murder
of Elizabeth Logan, and under sentence to
be hanged at the District Jail the 4th of
next month, are exerting every effort to
save the life of the condemned man. An
appeal has been made for executive Glenn
ency, and the matter is now under consid-
Grafton. There is good treason to believe
that the President will commute the sem
tence to Imprisonment for life. This action,
if taken, will be based on the showing
made by the defense at the trial. 1t was
proved during the hearing that practically
all OF Reeds relatives gave evidence of in
sanity, and that segerale of them died in in
sane asylums. Furtherrnore. although it had
no effect, the jury added to its verdict of
guilty a recommendation of mercy.
The Attorney General has called on the
United States attorney for the District of
Columbia to submit report covering the
case. This has been prepared and a COPY
will be sent this afternoon to Justice Cla-
baugh, who presided at the trial of Reed,
for comment and suggestions. When it is
received oack it will be promptly placed in
the hands of the Attorney General. The ac-
ton of the President will be announced
soon thereafter.

PROGRESS OF RECRUITING.
Officials Much Pleased With the Re-
suits ReUorted.

Col Ward, chief of the recruiting division

pared statement showing the progress OF
recruiting for the volunteer army for serN-
ice in the Philippines. IT shows that since
recruiting began, July 10, the total enlist

504 were recruited yesterday. The state
ment was made up on the basis of opera
lions up to the close of business last night,
and does not include any OF today's recruit
ing.

Gen. Corbfn and other officials of the
war Department say they are very much
grdtliled at the progress made in the re-
cruitment Of volunteers for the Philippines,
especially when it is considered that the
work already performed was done at the
regular army recruiting stations. and be-
fore the special volunteer stations had
been put into active operation. Gen. Cor
bin says that the number of volunteers al
ready obtained satisfies him that he was
not far out of the way when he predicted
a week ago that the ten new volunteer regi-
ments would be completely organized by
the 18th proximo. He does not attach much
importance to the newspaper round
robin protest against Gen. Otis opera
tions in the Philippines. and says il is not
likely to have any effect on the recruit
ment of volunteers in this country In his
opinion, recruiting will proceed more rapid
ly than before, and that no trouble will be
experienced in getting full quota of good
soldiers.

ANACOSTIA HAPPENINGS.
Deal for Valuable Brick Yard Prop
erty Being Negotiated

1t is stated that an important real estate
deal, involving the purchase of forty acres
of land on the Good Hope road near Ana
costa, is under consideration. The prop
erty is owned by DR.. r. A. Pyles and his
brother, George F. Pyles, and for the past
six or seven years they have been engaged
in the manufacture Of bricks upon the
place, from which all the necessary mate
rial has been secured. Recently they re-
ceived an offer of So, 600 for the land, and
while the matter was being considered a
still higher offer was made 1t is said by
number of Washington contractors and
builders, who have in view the manufac-
ture of bricks as company, being dissatis-
fled, it is stated. with the present high
prices and wishing to engage in competition
with those controlling the prices now. A
much higher offer than their company made
is being considered now, an option having
been secured for a short time on the prop
erty by the agent representing the would
be purchasers, who are, it is thought, dis
posed not TO favor the plan of the city con-
tractors and builders. 1t is considered
likely by persons having information that
the deal will go through soon.

JUSTICE Cox's SUCCESSOR.
The Guessers Have Stopped and Are
Now Wondering About Time.

AS regards the District judgeship, the
prevailing impression about the city hall
this afternoon is that the President will
make the appointment within a very few
days. 1t is further declared, as infor1na-
ton from reliable source. that the Chief
Executive has narrowed the field from
which the selection is to be made. to less
than four candidates. General discussion
regarding the vacancy has reached a stand
still and the chief interest manifested on
the part of the attorneys is as to the time
the President will act. There were few ru-
mors in circulation today; in fact the situa-
ton Ia unprecedentedly quiet.

Representative Architect. in the City.

There are quite a number of the promi-
nent architects of the country in the city at
this time, and while it is an unusual season
of the year for professional men to visit
Washington, the presence of the architects
jusc>uow is due to combination Of circum-
stances. The headquarters of the American
Institute Of Architects is in the old Tayloe
house, at the corner Of New York avenue
and 18th street northwest. The president of
the association is Mr.. Van Brunt, who was
chosen by the competing architects to serve
on the public library commission. He was
obliged to visit Washington to examine the
plans which have just been opened, and
while he was here he thought 1t would be
a good time to call meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the institute. Mr.. Post,
who is associated with Mr.. Van Brunt on
the library commission, and who was FORM
erly the president OF the institute, and who
is the chairman of a committee, also called
a meeting of his committee. These two
committees have been in session.
