PAN.AMERICAN EXPOSITION,
DIR. Pierce's Free Bureau of InfOr-
nation.

With liberality which characterizes all
enterprises undertaken by DR.. r. V. Pierce,
OF Buffalo, the founder of the Worlds Dis
pensary, he has established free bureau of
information and assistance, free to visitors
and househoders.
The purpose Of this Bureau is to provide
headquarters for visitors to the Exposi.
ton, where mail may be addressed and de-
livered To furnish conveniences for cor.
respondence, such as writing desks, sta
tionery, etc. To provide list of desirable
accommodations for guests which will obvi-
ate the tiresome search for lodgings in q
strange city. To give information concern
ing Buffalo and the adjacent points OF inter-
est, in order that the visitors may do their
sightseeing with economy OF time and
money. To help visiting friends in any
way consistent with the proposed scope OF
the Bureau.
This Bureau is located in beautiful old
mansion Of Buffalo, at 652 Main street, lust
opposite the Invalid's Hotel and Surgical
Institute, Of which DIR. r. V. Pierce is chief
medical director. The Free Bureau Is fitted
up with reception-rooms, wash rooms, dress
ing-rooms, parlors, and all conveniences for
out-of-town visitors.
DR.. Pierce's Free Bureau had its origin In
the desire OF the doctor to be of some aid
and assistance to the sixty odd thous and
druggists and dealers, who are mostly his
customers, as we'll as his own patients; but
when the plan was formulated it was found
that 1t would take little more effort and ex-
pense to care for everybody who might
need the Bureaus assistance.
When visitors arrive in Buffalo, they can
go straight to the Bureau, at $50 Main street,
and ask for the needed accommodation.

sent disorder and serious i'll health.
The bile poisons search out and attack
every weak spot there is about you. They
make rheumatism and govt, if you have
them, so much worse that you often scream
with added agony. They increase and in
tensify kidney and bladder troubles. They
kill the appetite and spoil the digestion.
They make the head ache and destroy the
action of the heart. They depress the
spirits and cast the gloom of premature
night over life's brightest day. A bilious
man may possibly be Christian but he
cannot be happy.
The sure cure for all liver and bilious
disorders is Calcura Solvent, the new medi-
cine, prepared by the we'll known physician,

FOREIGN.

LONDON, May 17.-In winding up
the debate last night in the House Of
Commons, A. J. Balfour, the govern
ment leader, denied that there was any
large body Of men in open hostility to
the scheme Of Mr.. BrodericE, the secre-
tary of state for war.
The amendment of Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman, the liberal leader, in
which he said the proposals largely in
creased the existing burdens without
adding materially to the military
strength of Great Britain and asked for
figures and definite statements was re
lected by a vote of 1927 to 2l1. Mr..
Broderick's scheme was then adopted
by vote of 305 to 1853. In the course
OF his speech, Mr.. Balfour made the
sensational statement that at one mo
ment toward the end of 1899, there
were in Great Britain only $500 rounds
OF small arm ammunition, with no re-
serve of artillery ammunition except
what was actually with the guns re-
tanned at home.

AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
The Advantages Derived From the
Supreme Court Decision.

MIR. DuvnII Explains to the Commits
sioners the Result i'm the Street
Cnse-PriviIeges at the Wholesale
Market a New POtters' Field.
Andrew p. Duvall. the Attorney for the
District. called on the Commissioners yes
terday and explained to them the import
OF the decision handed down by the Su-
preme Court of the United States in the
case of the District Of Columbia against
Davidson The case in question was an
appeal from a decision Of the Court Of
Appeals of the District, which reversed
the decree Of the lower court. Besides,
the court in its opinion established a prin-
ciple which applies to all street improve
rnent in the District of Columbia.
Mr. Duvau explained to the Commis-
sioners that the decision practically let
the District out in all the pending cases
of street Improvement which have been
DELAYED by litigation for the last tour
wears. He stated that this decision puts
the District where it is right that 1t
should be- where it can control its own
street Improvement 1t viii no longer be
possible for property holders or others
opposed to street paving to block such
Improvement.
Mr. Duvan explained the opinion briefly
by saying that the court holds that IL IS
within the power Of Congress TO order the
opening. extension. or Improvement Of
any street and to direct the Commission
ers to institute and complete the neces-
sary proceedings to acquire the land for
such purpose. It is also affirmed in the
opinion that Congress can direct the Com
naissioners to assess one-haf OF the
amount found due as damages against the
abutting property. This is the principle
which has been so vigorously assailed in
the courts by property holders, and which
has held UP the improvement Of S Street
for so long a time.
The Attorney explained to the Commis-
sioners that the work of his office in con-
nection with the extension and improve
ment of streets would now be much sim
pIfied. and that it would be possible for
the Commissioners TO execute the will of
Congress without unnecessary delay.
The decision may be said to have taken
a load off the shoulders Of the Commis-
sioners and their Attorney, and it has left
the District with a free hand to carry
out its improvements promptly after they
are authorized by Congress.
In speaking in a general way of street
Improvement. Mr.. DuvaH said yesterday
that il has had a somewhat interesting
history. He sad that IL began with per
nit work on all Improvements of less
than specified amount. He stated that
the first paving of streets was done un-
der the operations of that law Later, he
said. there came into vogue what was i'm
properly called compulsory permits
where the District ordered the improve
mentS and the cost was assessed against
the property. Finally came in the pres
ent law which has now been affirmed by
the court Of last resort. Mr.. Duvali said
that had il not been for this law Wash
ington would not be the beautiful city
that it is. Under its operation he said the
streets have been paved along lines that
were serviceable and permanent.
