These are sweet words. but how much
pain and suffering they used to mean. It's
different now. Since Mothers Friend has
become known expectant mothers have
been spared much Of the anguish of child
birth. Mothers friend Is hniment to be
applied externally. Il Is rubbed thoroughly
into the muscles Of the abdomen. II gives
elasticity and strength, and when the final
great strain comes they respond quickly and
easily without pain. Mothers Friend Is

FAVORED BY ATTORNEY.
Application of street Railway Conn
pan, for Return of $1,000.

Mr y g. Duval. attorney for the DIS
trfct of Columbia. has submitted TO the
District Commissioners Il Favorable opinion
upon the request of the City and Suburban
railway for the return of 5000 deposited
by tht. company with the collector of taxes
in compliance with section = of the act of
Congress approved June -. 1898. amending
the charter of the lexington and Soldiers
Home Railway Company, and providing
that deposit of s50to should be made to
guarantee the construction, equipment and
re-e.uipment of it's lines.
Mir. DuvaH explains that by act of March
.: 1s.rs the City and Suburban railway was
relieved Of the obligation of section of
the act of June 27, 1888. in respect to the
construction Of it's lines on North Capitol
street north of 7 street and was author
lied To use the overhead trolley system
until July !. 1904, or as soon thereafter as
the street is paved. Mr. Duvall then says:
''The requirement Of the act respecting
the construction and operation of the road
on North Capitol street north of T street
aud on Michigan avenue has been complied
with. and the question is whether the de-
pvsit should be retained until the company
operates that portion of its line by the
underground electric system.
1t will be observed that the 5000 was
required to be deposited by the company
specifically to guarantee the construction.

authorized and prescribed by the act of

in terms provided that upon the completion

toned therein, this particular obligation

No deposit was required by that act
from the company to guarantee the per

Heretofore made should continue To stand
"a further guarantee for the ultimate op-

PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY ROADS.
Decision of Maryland Court Of ApDeaI,
t.0XernlmE Thelr ImprOYemeut


At Annapolis Thursday the court of ap-
peals Of Maryland reversed the lower court
Prince Georges county, which granted
permanent injunction against the road COM
missioners of Prince Georges county re-
quiring them to spend the money obtained
from liquor licenses equally upon all the
roads of the county connecting with tue
roads in the District of Columbia at the
District line. The money thus obtained
amounting to about 5000 annually was
by an act of assembly of 1900 set aside to
bc used ON said roads. The commissioners
selected TWO roads which they thought re-
qGired permanent Improvement and eX-
pended most of the sum upon them The
taxpayers of certain sections sought and
obtained an injunction to restrain them
from eXpendinS any more money on these
two highways until all the others connect
ing with the District of Columbia road.
received their proportional share.
Judge Fearce. who delivered the opinion
said it was error in the court below to
proceed to final decree. BY the act of
assembly of 1900 the powers formerly vest
ed in the county commissioners were traIsS-
ferred to the road commissioners, and we
think that discretion to improve roads
which in their judgment most needed it
was most certainly given them. and we can
perceive reason why they should not be
held to hav. the same discretion in the ap-
plication and apportionment of this fund
to the construction of permanent highways
of any other funds at their disposal for
the construction or Improvement of hlgn-
ways generally. We cannot find in the
slightest degree any element of fraud or
unfairness in this case, and we say here
that We find nothing to warrant the power
assumed by the lower court in granting this
Injunction
