'Take care of YOURSELF" say our friends.
"I'n try to-" we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, On army Of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let 1t fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
infammations and congestions, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have q cold on the chest, place o Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion Is felt. II you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were cov-
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement Of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau
ton rs to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form Of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tinot and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip Cback and chest) and all sim
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plastsrs always within reach.

THE HAGUE, Jan. 28.-The rumors
that Mr.. Kruger, having received invi-

The District Commissioners have for
warded to Senator Mcmillan chairman of
the Senate District committee, an adverse
report on Senate b1ll 1873, to relieve GER
tain property owners from assessments
levied for benefits for the extension OF
Rhode Island avenues New Hampshire ave-
nue.. street and 11thstfset. In regard to
the bill the Commissioners say:
Rhode Island avenue vas-extended un-
der an zact Of SoRg1sss approved F'ebru-
ary 10, 1s99 and Observation-Disclosures named
were extended under acts approved March
3, 1890. These. acts directed that of the
amount found due and awarded as damage
by reason of such extensions not less than
one-half should be assessed against the
abutting properties. The aggregate amount
of the damages awarded In the cases was
s6tS, 1896 and the aggregate amount-ef
the benefits assessed was 1886. .562. These
amounts were determined by juries as pro-
yided in the several acts,
The extensions We're more or less local
in character, none of them. with the ex-
ception Of Rhode Island avenue. being nee
essary as connecting highways, and, there
fore, the benefits derived from their open
ings were local only, as was shown in the
proceedings for their condemnation
This bill proposes that the District OF
Columbia shall assume the entire cost of
these extensions and that the locality
specially benefited shall bear nothing more
than Its pro rata share of the cost as gem
eral taxes. When streets are opened in the
District the plan has always been for the
land necessary either to be donated, in
which case the owner gets no damages
whatever, or condemned when the damages
and benefits are assessed by juries.
Juries IN street extension cases, even
when they are not restricted by law as
to the proportion Of benefits to be assessed
nave, In many cases, found that such local
Dement'S approximated one-half of the
damages awarded. To have the District
bear the whole amount Of cost would make
1mpracticable most Of the street extensions
which are almost invariably made at the
request or property owners.
I'm other cities where streets have been
extended, notably Boston, Philadelphia and
New York. the entire cost of the extern
sion was assessed against property found
to be benefited, and in most cases this
benefited area was limited to the land abut-
ting upon the proposed street, .-e-,.-.- -
The bill provides .lat the District shall
be chargeable with the assessment OF bene-
fits. 1t has always been the policy of the
Commissioners to recommend strongly that
the United States bear one-half Of the cost
OF all street extensions.
Another feature Of the bill is that while
1t provides for the cancellation of out
standing assessments for benefits it con-
tains no provision for the refund OF as
sessments already paid, and If passed 1t
would relieve the taxpayer who had not
paid from paying his assessment, while
those who had paid would derive no bene-
nj from Its proVtSions.".

NOTHING NEW DEVELOPS.
Dennis Assault Mystery Remains Un-
solved-ReIease of Cole

There were no new developments today in
the mysterious case of Mrs. Ada Gilbert
Dennis. Richard Cole. the colored porter
formerly employed by Mrs. Dennis, ana
who was arrested Monday evening on sus-
picion, was released last night, the de-
tectives having no cause to connect him
with the case. Cole is said to have talked
great deal about the crime. and the po-
lice believed he might know something, but
investigation of Coles movements the
night OF the assault satisfies them he had
no connection with the crime.
Mrs Dennis was reported this morning as
not being so well. She passed a somewhat
restless night. The physicians do not at
tach much Importance to this temporary
setback, 1t is said, and say these slight re-
lapses are to be expected In cases of this
kind.
