Preparing for the Work OF the New
Dredge-Oyater and Fish

A force Of hands is busily engaged in
throwing up an embankment along the
northern edge of the Potomac Park oppo-
site the Water street wharves as a retain
ing wall for the mud to be thrown on the
fats by the new dredge when 1t begins
operations. The embankment along the
eastern and southern sides was thrown up
about month ago. If the park is raised
to a level with the top of the entertainments
1t will be four or FIVE feet higher than its
present level, and win be- free from dam
ger Of food except by phenomenally big
tides. like that of the, spring Of 1880, when
all the wharves along the river front were
under water to a depth sof, four or FIVE feet.
The steamboat men want the officials at
the Washington barracks to have the red
glass put back in the. gas lamp at the
southwestern corner III the arsenal grounds.
This red light has long been used by the
river men as mark TO steer by on dark
nights when coming from Alexandria to
this city, and it has been very advantage
Gus to them. The white Hight now shown by
the lamp cannot be distinguished, 1t is said,
from the dozens of othertshore lights visi-
Bile every night. The replacing OF the red
light would be great, convenience to those
whose business requires them to come up
the river at night.

Mr.. Richardson will be the chief executive

far as possible to VISIT Scottish Rite bodies

least once in two years. His expenses dur

the treasury Of his order. Often he will be
given use OF the private cars Of high rail-
road officials active in Masonry.

take them out for their meals or have a

on the basement floor This room is quite
as large as the great Senate chamber and
will seat about three hundred guests 1t is
utilized only during sessions of the Supreme
Council. Adjoining are a spacious kitchen

The Scottish Rite Temple originally be-
longed to Colonel Reeves, United States

1893, for the uses of the Supreme Council
Later was added the library which con-
talns 10000 Volumes valued at 500 600 and
which is said to be the most extensive COL
lection of Masonic books in the world Five
years ago the Supreme Council purchased
two houses adjoining the original temple
and thereby added space for the senate
chamber and museum, which in the fu-
ture will contain antiquities of all kinds
besides several thousand dollars worth of
relics collected by Albert Pike and now
stored in boxes.

WITH A PROVISO.
Certain Plumbing Material May he
Used Until May 1.

Mr. Charles G. Thorn. local plumber,
several days ago requested Of the District
Commissioners permission to use four-inch
lead bends and one-and-a-half and two
inch lead traps he has in stock. Other
plumbers have made similar requests, and
the inspector of plumbing, Mr.. Charles B.
Ball, has reported to the Commissioners
that he sees no reason why, under certain
restrictions, it may not be considered en-.
tirely fair to postpone the application OF
the regulatio recently amended, as far as
the material in question now on hand Is
involved. He has, therefore. recommended
that the applicant be informed that the
materials specified by him may be used be-
tween now and the first of next May, with
the proviso that no material OF similar
character Is to be purchased. and that the
inspector Of plumbing shall be furnished
with statement in each case as the work
is reported for inspection that it II subject
to this exception.
Mr. Ball has also recommended that he
be empowered to apply the same ruling
for a period not to exceed the time between
now and May /, 1901, to applications Of a
similar nature, taking pains to verify the
amount of stock stated to be on hand and
to note the various localities in which it Is
used, with instructions In case any ques-
ton of good faith on the part of any ap-
plicant should arise to refer such a case
to the Commissioners for further considera-
ton. All Of these recommendations the
Commissioners have approved.

Paine's celery compound.
Paine's celery compound is the most remarkable
medical achievement Of the last nifty years.
1t makes people well. 1t is the one true specific
recognized and prescribed today by eminent prac-
titioners for diseases arising from debilttated
nervous system. Prof. Phelps gave to his profes.
sion a positive for sleeplessness wasting
strength, dyspepsia, biliousness, Liver complaint
neuralgia, rheumatism. all nervous diseases and
kidney troubles. For all such complaints Paines
celery compound has succeeded again and again
where everything else has failed
1t is as harmless it Is good. and It was the
universal advice Of the medical profession that
the compound be placed where the general public
could secure it, and thousands Of people have year
after year proven the wisdom of this good advice.
Only a truly great and effective remedy could
continue, as Pafne's celery compound has done, to
hold its unrivaled place in the estimation Of the
abest physicians and Of the thousands of busy
men and women whose only means Of Judging is
from the actual results in their own home or
among their friends. No remedy was ever 50 high.

so much.

When the greatest Of modern physicians. after
years Of practice and close scientific study, gave
to the science Of medicine the most wonderful
remedy Of the present day, host Of imitators
sprung up.
No sooner was 1t announced that positive cure
for nervous ailments, unfailing blood purifier
had been discovered by Prof. Phelps OF Dartmouth
and physicians everywhere welcomed Paines eel

Of a time when modern ways Of working and nv-
ing had begun to multiply diseases that arise from
impaired nerves and impure blood
When a great public demand arose for this rem
edy from end of the country to another, at
once, as in every such case, lot Of cheap fellows
began to try to impose upon people one and an
other trade medicine. sometimes harmful, always
worthless claiming for them the mexampled prop

ers.
Prof. Phelps born in Connecticut, and grad
uated from the military school at Norwich Vt
He studied medicine with Prof. Nathan Smith Of
New Haven, Conn.,, and graduated in medicine at
Yale.
His unusual talent brought him reputation
and prominence. First he was elected to the pro-
fessorship Of anatomy and surgery in the Vermont
University. Next he appointed lecturer on
materia mediea and medical botany in Dartmouth
College. The next year he was chosen professor Of
the chair then vacated by Prof. Robby. and occu-
pied the chair, the most important one in the
country, at the time when he first formulated his
most remarkable prescription.
Today Paine's celery compound stands without
an equal for feeding exhausted nerves and build
ing up the strength Of the body. 1t cures radi-
cally and permanently. The nervous prostration
and general debility from which thousands of wo-

tor Iran il {

Mr.. George T. MelleE, vice president of
the Baltimore and Washington Transit
Company. has informed the District Com
missioners that the following time table
for the winter has been arranged by the
company: Leave Takoma Park junction at
$50 O. $50. IN and 1890 o'clock am. and

3:15. 3:45. 4:15. 4:45, 5:15, 5:45. 6:15 and
pm.
AS no complaint has been received against
this schedule the Engineer Commissioner,
Captain Beach, has recommended to his as
sociates that it be approved Professionally
and that the company be so informed, with
the statement that should complaints be
presented showing that it is insufficient the
Commissioners reserve the right to take up
with the company the matter of a new
schedule. This recommendation the Com
missioners have approved.
In this connection it Is stated that this
case is one of the very few, II not the only
one. where Congress has-provided PEN
atty for failure of a street railway COM
pany to observe such running schedules as
the Commissioners approve. The act au-
thorizing the entrance OF this railway into
the District provides, among other things,
that tine Commissioners may make Such
regulations as 10 speed of the cars, etc,
as in their judgment. the interest and con-
venieuce of the public may require. should
the agents or servants of said company,
reads the provision in question: 'wilifully
or negligently violate such ordinance or
regulation said company shall be liable to
the District of Columbia for penalty not
exceeding $500
This penalty. il is said could be collected
either in the Police Court through a crtmi-
nal proceeding OF on the law side OF the
Supreme Court of the District in civil
proceeding. and il is believed that should
a provision OF this kind be made applicable
by Congress to all other local street rail-
WAYS the Commissioners would be enabled
to enforce an observance by the railway
comDanies of such schedules the munich
nal authorities should approve in the in
terest of the travelling public.
