An Old Bible.

Mr.. w. l.. Raines called In to sec
us this week and showed us q very
old family Bible, which was printed
MDCCLNXNFiII 1888. This Bible
is printed i'll German, we glanced
through it but unfortunately could
enjoy nothing but the pictures, which
are very fine quality Of steel en-.
cravings. 1t it quite Il souvenir, is
in perfect preservation, and looks as
ii it is good for another hundred
years, the pages, while somewhat
faded are intact, not q leaf being soilcd
or torn. The back is Of the heaviest
calf, with metal projections, and
metal clasps, which hold as firmly as
when first attached. This Bible was
bought by MLr. Gitson Danner, who
came to te1his-eountry from the East
ern shore Of Maryland, lie gave the
Bible to his daughter, Mrs Rachel
Gossett, who gave ii TO the present
owner. Mrs. Gossett was u great
aunt Of Mr.. Raincs.
1t is valuable family relic and
should be kept in the family and
handed down to succeeding genera
tions.

ter outside of court.
After quoting extracts from the letter to
prove wilkins confession, the decision con-
tinues:
Notwithstanding that the authorities were in
duccd 10 settle with him upon his promise Of
als,entiun in the future fro,a! similar violations
OF the Law. it appears liai he. sirlightaway r.
sumed his operations undoubtedly taking courage
from the success with which he had compromised
the first offences in which lie had been di.coy
cred
II is absolutely clear that for such a persistent
viOlator Of the Law something mpre than money
penalty was essential. ;he sentence OF imprison-
ment imposed in this case was peremptoriiy re-
quired by the circumstances. Nor can say that
the sentence anything Int moderate. 1t IS
less than the average sentence imposed upon per-
sistcnt yolltors of the internal. revenue laws
lating to the dstillaton OF SPIRITS and much less
than the ordinary sentences imposed tor violation
OF the laws against the Of the mails FOX ir1udu
lent purposes.
Not only is the dignity at the law to be
upheld against sich persistent CviolstioEs but
the public is entitled to be protected by the
salutary influence Of stern punishment against
fraud and deception such as were practiced in
this ease. by means OF which the petitioners
enabled 10 impose upon irnoccnt purehassas as
genuine butter a counterfeit article which, If
sold for wha, 1t really was. would have brought
very much lea in the open market.

THE VITAL PRINCIPLE

of life is motion. and when motion ceases
death ensues. A poor circulation results
in sluggish blood. which is unequal TO the
task OF carrying of the refuse OF the secre-
tons. The consequence is that the system
becomes deranged and disease is sure to
follow

such a case?

THE GAS QUESTION.
W. {. Dodge Addresses the Commits
sIOners on the Subject.

The Commissioners yesterday received a
letter from W. C. Dodge. OF 100 Ninth
Street northwest. in which he gave long
statement OF the relative cost of gas Ia
the United States and the various coun-
tries of Europe. The letter was accom-
panied by printed document setting forth
the value and equipment OF the various
plants which were cited in the letter.
Mr.. Dodge made a point of the fact that
late in December a gas company In New
Jersey had offered the common council of
Passaic large sum OF money for the
various charities and municipal depart
ments IL they would accept the offer of the
company to furnish gas to the citizens of
the town at the rate of 30 cents per thou
sand cubic feet Another gas company
also offered to furnish the illuminant at
the same rate.
Mr.. Dodge stated that he did not see
why the Washington Gaslight Company
could not be compelled TO adopt at least a
5O-cent rate. The stockholders of the con-
Germ had refused TO accept 500 per share
for their holdings. the writer concluded,
and this Is three times the par value of the
stock. The letter commended the bill,
which the Commissioners have before them
for consideration and embodied a strong
argument in favor OF its passage.

1t may be true OF virtue that I" But to
wish more virtue is TO GAIN" but it is
not true that wishing for health brings
US a step nearer the realization of our
wish. Health must be sought and strivcn
for. There are more than half million
people who have found health, each in
the same way, and by the same means.
That way and means are open TO Jon. If
you are suffering with obstinate, linger-
ing cough, bleeding of the lungs, bron-
chitis, emaciation, weakness, condition
which if neglected or unskilfully treated,
leads to consumption, begin at once the

strictly private and sacredly confidential,
