| A wise man adapts himself 10 cir

The error of one moment becomes

Free Tags for Municipal DOGS.

A dog belonging to No. 3 engine company
of the District fire department was captured
by The poundmaster's force several days
ago. the animal being found at large with
out tag. The firemen requested the re-
lease of their pet, but the health officer,
DR.. VIM. c. Woodward, while offering no
objection to the granting of the firemen's
request, invited attention to the fact that
the poundmasters men, In the absence of
a tag on a dog belonging to a company Of
the fire department or to a police station
cannot know that the animal Is quasi mu-
nIcipal property.
Commissioner Macfarlard has recommend
ed to his associates that the dog in question
he released without the payment of the
pound fee, and it is probable that he will
further recommend that dogs belonging to
the companies in the fire department and
to the police stations be provided with tags
free of cost, as is said to be the rule in
regard to dogs owned by members of the
diplomatic corps. Mr. Macfarland is of the
opinion that the fire department companies
and police stations are not only entitled to
keep dogs, but he also thinks that the
animals may to a certain extent be regard
ed as the property of the District, inasmuch
as they are, in fire companies, at least, use

THE RIGHT THlNU.
NEW CATARRH CURE, WHICH is RAPIDLY
COMING TO THE FRONT.

For several years EucalypfOl, Guaiacol and Hy-
drastin have been recognized standard remedies
for catarrhal troubles, but they have always been
given separately, and only very recently an In
genious chemist succeeded In combining them, to-
gether with other antseptics into pleasant, ef-
fectlve tablet.
Druggists sell the remedy under the name OF Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets, and 1t has met with remark
able success in the Of nasal catafrh bronchial
and throat catarrh and in catarrh OF the stomach.

Mr.. Geo. j. Casanova OF Hotel Grinon, West 9th

leading physician of Pittsburg advises the use
of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets in preference TO any
other treatment for catarrh of the head throat or

He claims they far superior to inhalers,
salyes. lotions or powder and are much more con-
venient and pleasant to take. and are so harmless
that little children take them with beneft, as they

The Presbytery's Vote on Revision.
To the Editor Of The Evening


Your representative at the meeting of the
presbytery of Washington city at kensng-
ton on Tuesday seems to have misappre-
hended the action Of the presbytery on one
matter. as indicated in the title of the re-
port in yesterdays paper-"Votes Against
Revision" This misunderstanding ts not
surprising, since the question was quite
technical. The term revision" has been,
and Is, used inaccurately to mean any form
of change in credal statement. Strictly, it
refers only % change of language in the eX-
isting confession of faith, or to additions
thereto elisiOns therefrom. This was one
of four alternative propositions submitted
to the presbytery by the general assembly.
The others were: A supplemental explana-
tory statement, a brief creed to be substi-
tuted for the Westminster symbols for sub
scription by ministers elders and deacons,
and no change whatever.
The roll of presbytery was called, and
each member voted his preference. with the
following result: For no change, 8; for re-
vision. Il; for explanatory statement, q; for
substitutionary creed, "A; total SO.
and Al for change Of some sort. The vote
Of "a for new creed to take the place of
the Westminster symbols was substantially
identical with that of last May, where
after a days debate, % votes We're cast for
this method Of credal change.
