Council, and Chairman William II. Cur
It's of the James River Improvement
COMMITTEE. went to Washington yesterday
to appear before the Senate Committee
of Rivers and Harbors in the interests
of an appropriation for harbor improve
mentS here.
It is generally believed by those inter
ested that should the talked of comoi-
nation of shipbuilding interests be con-
summated with the Trigg Company as 4
part of the combination, the chances for
a large appropriation for harbor IN
provements here would be greater than
they are at present
The Richmond gentlemen who are to
appear before the Senate committee in
Washington will have this in mind. and
will express themselves along this line
when they address the committee.
City Engineer Cutshaw said yesterday
that there was a good chance for at least
a part of the appropriation, and he felt
that the work of the Councilmen. aug
mented by the assistance that Senator's
Martin and Daniel will give, may result
in much good.

AT FIRST GLANCE.
1t Would Appear That Local Rene
dies Would be Best for Cure Of
Catarrh.

1t would seem at first glance that ca
tarrh being a disease of the mucous mem
braue; that saves, sprays, etc, being APP
piled directly TO the membranes of tho
nose and throat would be the most ra-
tiona1 treatment, but this has been proven
not to be true
The mucous membrane is made and re-
paired from the blood. and catarrh is a
blood disease. and any remedy TO make
permanent cure must act on the blood,
and when the blood Is purified from ca
tarrfal poison, the secretions from the
mucous membrane Will become natural
and healthy
In this climate. thousands of people
sccm scarcely ever free from some form
of catarrh: * gets better at times but
each winter becomes gradually deeper
seated. and after time the sufferer re-
signs himself to it as a necessary evil.
Catarrh cures arc almost as numerous
as catarrh sufferers, but arc nearly all SO
announcement and ineffective as TO render
their use nuisance nearly as annoying
as catarTh itself. any one who has used
douchcs. sprays and powders will bear
witness to their Inconvenience and failure
TO really cure.
There are number Of excellent inter
nal remedies for catarrh. bat probably
the best and certainly the safest is d new
remedy, composed of Eucalyptol. IIydras-
lis. Sansninaria and other valuable ca
tarrh specifics.
This remedy is in tablet form. pleasant

The name of Stuartts Catarrh Tablets.
and any one suffering from catarrh may
use these tablets with absolute assurance
that they contain no cocaine. opiate nor
any poisonous mineral whatever.
A leading druggist in Albany. speaking
of catarrh cures. says: Il haze sold vari-
Gus catarrh cures for years but have
never sold any which gave such general
satisfaction as Stuart's Catasrh Tablets.

Gillisan Case May 30
Decided To-Day.

The twenty-sccond ANNUAL report Of the
Commissioner Of Agriculture of Virginia
was issued yesterday. It contDins one
hundred and sixty pages. and deals with
a number of subjects OF interest to the
farmers Of the state
The following extract Is taken from the
report in regard TO the tonnage tax law:
THE tonnage tax on fertilizers, though
small. has enabled This department to
greatly protect our farmers from fraud
ia the purchase OF fertilizers. The far
mers in this State pay over 100000 per
annum for fertilizers: such heavy ex-
5,cnd5turc of money makes it very impor-
1ant that the farmers should be carefully
protected from fraud. especially when It
can be done so easily in fertilizers when
not closely inspected and analysed
The paper then goes on 10 give a des-
cription OF the successful operations of
The bill, and makes complimentary refer
encc 10 the wor:. OF the fertilizer inspec-
tors of the several districts
Reference is made TO the recent cstao-
l!shment OF a test farm. and the report
saws others will be established in the near
future. The commissioner deploTes the
failure on account OF a lack OF funds, TO
have a statement OF the mineral products
OF the Stale prepared yearly and says
the people are losing money by such
failure
As 10 the pure food and oleomarsarine
laws, passed by the last legislature, the
commissioner says they are practically
;noperative because he has no funds TO
enforce them.
THE WORK INCREASING.
MT Koiner SAYS the work Of the de-
partment is constantly increa sing with
The growing demand for information re-
enrd:ng the soil and industries of the

tails of The work of the department for

To Decide the Giiiisa. Cast. To-Day.
The Supreme Court OF Appeals will in
all probability. hand down its decision in
the case of A, C. Gilligan vs.. the Com
nonweaith today.
The case was recently argued before that
tribunal by Messrs. Coalter and Wise for
the prisoner. and Acknowledgement Monta-
que for the State. The chief point brought
out by the counsel for Gilligan was that
the verdict was not brought in by the
jury according to law, and was not an
rounced in the presence of the prisoner.
The point is most interesting one to
the bar OF the State, and that, coupled
with the prominence of the case. makes
the outcome matter of general inter
est.
1t was thought that the decision would
have been handed down last Thursday,
but the court had not then completed the
prepare ton Of their opinion, il indeed they
had reached a conclusion in the case.
