A COMPLAINT FROM PATRONS.
They Want Better Service on the
City and Suburban Road.

The service on the section OF the City
and Suburban Railroad which connects
with Brookland, was made the subject Of
a petition to the District Commissioners
yesterday. in which the petitioners ask
that some action be taken by the board to
do away with the inconvenience caused by
the long waits for the cars. II is complain
ed that il Is often necessary 10 wait from
twenty to thirty minutes before the one
car which is operated on this section Of the
line is ready to start TO the city and that
the inconvenience caused often results in
great loss 10 the residents of the village
Some time ago the company in question
was engaged in making improvements on
the line which communicates with Brook
land, and il could not run more than one
car over the road at a time While these
improvements were in process of construc-
ton the petitioners did not complain be-
cause they thought that as soon as the
I line was finished the Improvements would
more than repay any inconvenience suf-
/. fered during the process of installing them.
When the line was finished however, the
/ company did not make the expected
changes liz the schedule, and therefore the
residents of Brookland considered that
1 such negligence should be brought TO the
attention Of the Commissioners in order
I that some remedy be applied.

A WORD OF CAUTION.

The old saying that " man, who is
naked can't givesaway his shirt, . is only
another way of saving that you can't
give what you haven't got The man
can't give free medical advice, or any
other kina Of n,slicsl advice who hasn't
got a medical education and Certificate
to the fact, i'll the form of a diploma.
And III this particular a woman has no
more privilege than man. She can't
give medical advice without medical edu
cation and medical knowledge.
The offer of free medical advice made
by DIR. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, n ", has been initiated
by so many, who without any medical
qualifications claim to give medical
advice " that word of caution is neces-
sary.
Don't write for medical advice to any
one, man or woman, who is not ply
siciai1. If they are physicians they will
take the title of physicians or doctors so
that you may recognize them. If they
don't claim that title it is because they
dare not, for fear of the law
Do not forget that there is just as
much difference in doctors as in artists.
Every little town has its artist who draws
and paints. But these "artists" gener-
ally paint copies of the works of great
artists like Millet. There was only one
Millet.
There is only one Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, such as Dr. Pierce
presides over. Thousands of women
come or write, to DIR. Pierce who have
found no help at the hands of doctors of
lesser skill and narrower experience.
Any sick or aihng woman, suffering
from the distressing forms of disease
peculiar to women, is invited to con-
suit DR.. Pierce, by letter, free. Such con-
sultations are absolutely private. Each
letter is treated as a sacred confidence,
and each answer is sent in plain en-
velope, bearing no printing upon it.
In this way offensive questions and
repulsive examinations may be avoided.

HaIe,s Petition Denied.

In the case of Charles B. Hale. who is CON
fined in the District jail for contempt of court
as a result OF an order issued by Justice Bradley,
sitting in Probate Court, last June, Justice Cole
yesterday decided not to take any action ON his
petition for release until the opening of the
regular term OF the Supreme Court of the Dis

on June Is last for contempt of court in re
fusing to comply with an order requiring him
10 make an accounting of his stewardship in
the case of Caroline NJ. Cooper for whom he
was appointed guardian in September, 1897 When
the matter was investigated it developed
that Hale was over 81. 100 short in his accounts
He was last week called before Justice Cole and
examned as TO what disposition he had made
of the funds of his ward lie admitted having
spent the money in drink. After considering
the evidence adduced Justice Cole postponed
