" hat Would You Give

To be cured of catarrhi If you or
your friends have this disease, you
know how disagreeableit is. It's
symptoms are inflal6ed eyes, throb-

not a question OF what you will
give, but what you will take. If
you will take Hood Sarsaparilla,

which thoroughly purifies, en-
riches and vitalizes the blood, you
may expect to be completely and
permanently cured. Tie good

makes, reaching the delicate pass,

NOT GOOD ENOUGH

A bright young man Of wealth
and social positions, but with bad
habits, recently asked a young
woman 70 be his wife. Many
would have felt fiattered and have
accepted him. Her answer was
sharp and decided:
lyon say 1 have qualities you
wish in the woman who is TO be
your wife. I do not know as to
that. But there are habits / do
not have, and l cannot accept a
husband who has them, j do not
gamble swear, nor indulge in wine.
| am not in debt, l do not spend
my days iudleness or walking the
streets with. silly, unthinking girls
nor my nights with questionable
associates. As you have most of
these habits, | am not willing to
become your wife. Nothing but
misery could come ofsnch union.
It vas wisely thought and brave
1y spoken.

LIGHTS IN UNIVERSITY PARK.
The Inspector Gives Reasons for Not
Granting an Application.

Some time ago petition signed by resi-
dents and property holders of the Ameri-
can University Park was forwarded to
the Commissioners. requesting the estab-
lishment of lights on certain streets in
that part OF the District. They asked that
lights be placed on the River Road, from
its junction with Wisconsin Avenue to
Flint Street, thence on Flint Street 10
Forty-seventh Street thence south to Des
Moines Street, thence west on Des Moines
Street to Forty-eighth Street, thence
south to Chesapeake Street, to Forty ninth
Street, to Albemarle, to Massachusetts
Avenue.
In their petition the signers say that
the section OF the city referred to is grow
ing exceedingly fast, and that CTossant &
Stone, one of the signers, is running
herdic line at their own expense from said
junction on the Tenleytowr Road over The
route described. Continuing, the petition
says:
There is now already erected and in
course of construction houses on said
route. ard the season promises many
more houses within the bounds described
to be benefited by the proposed lights
Thomas j. Fisher inspector OF electric
lighting in reporting on the application,
stated that he had gone over the territory
named which extends S,775 feet, or over a
Uiilt- anu d HbIi III ltIS N. I1t Is VI inc
opinion that ii would take sixty lamps to
cover this distance. ana the houses TO be
benefited do not exceed fifteen, and are
scattered all along the line. and some of
them are not occupied. This. he says,
would mean an average maintenance of
four lights for each house. Continuing.
Mr. Fisher states:
aside from the fact that do not con-
slider the amount Of travel over this area
sufficient TO warrant the erection of the
lamps asked for, there being other sub-di-
visions of more importance which should
be given first consideration. The balance of
street lighting funds available for extern
sions of this service have been pretty well
covered by the work in progress and that
contemplated. and owing TO this lack OF
funds 1t VIII be impossible TO grant the re-
quest. and | recommend that the petition
ers be so informed"
In transmitting the report of MIR. Fisher
yesterday TO the Commissioners, Walter
C. Allen, the electrical engineer approved
the same, and recommended that the APP
pIication be not granted.
