appointed Hack Inspector Estes by Major
Sylvester yesterday morning, as fol-
lows: "In enforcing the hack regulations

place, familiarize yourself with the various
hack stands, the number of vehicles per-
mitted at each, giving particular attention
to the depots and the vicinities Of the Ar
lington and Shoreham Hotels.
1T Is my desire that grabbing and the
promiscuous running about without en-
gagements of public vehicles be stopped.
You will also observe the sanitary con-
dition OF the vehicles, with view OF doing
what, in your judgment, is best for the i'm
proyement of the service.
You Will keep a memorandum, as near
as possible of all drivers Of public vehi-
cles and owners thereof and also their
numbers, and a complete list of all prose-
cutions made by you, and note any and
all suggestions whereby the service may
be improved.
do not hesitate to report any observa-
tion which, in your judgment, might fa-
cilitate or better matters by action on the
part Of the Commissioners"

No troubles is more common or

their nerves are to blame and are

of the mischief is lost sight of.
The stomach is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the
stomach, nor perhaps any of the
usual symptoms of stomach weak
ness. Nervous dyspepsia shows
itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every organ. In some
cases the heart palpitates and is
irregular; in others the kidneys
are affected; in others the bowels
are constipated, with headaches;
still others are troubled with loss

BETTER THAN DIAMONDs.

The New York Sun has had for mot
to for many years "If you see it in tho
Sun, it il co." An axiom that has long
prevailed in this city relative to the jew
elry business is "If you got it at Roberta
it il good"
Now q store enjoying such reputa-
tion has something that il worth a. much
as diamonds or gold and silver ware. 1t
is even worth more, as 1t cannot be sold
by the caret, like diamonds, nor is it
purchasable at any price, when unde-
served
For eleven years the Roberts establish
ment has been run on that motto in this
city and the proprietor says that it il
his most valuable asset. This looks
strange when Mr.. Roberts keeps dia-
monds, and good diamonds of the very
first water, on hand at oil times, to class
little motto like that as worth more
than his diamond stock, but he ought to
know more about what has contributed
to his success than anyone else. Grant
that it is 80 it is something that il worth
having beyond all else.
Nothing is more attractive to tho hu-
man eye than precious stones. gold and
silver. At the Roberts establishment
there is always to be found the very
highest grade goods, at lowest possible
price consistent with good business. It
is the aim of the house to never be un-
dersold. Its credit is above par and
there is nothing in the commercial world
pertaining to the diamond or jewelry
business which M. L. Roberts 10 not
able to get by wire or have In stock il
there is demand for such = piece of
goods.
"If you buy it Of Raberts, it is good," "
and the public knows and believes this.
The store is here to continue to retain
and maintain that reputation and will be
even more careful in the future than in
the past to deserve that whish it values
moro than the diamonds in the stock Of
the store.
