In using medicine to stop pain we
should avoid such as infiict injury on the
system. O9tsm, Morphine, Chloroform,
Ether, Cocaine and ChIoral stop pain by
destroying the sense of perception, the
patient losing the power of feeling This
is a most destructive practice; it masks
the symptoms, shuts up, and instead of
removing trouble breaks down the stom-
ach, liver and bowels and, if continued
for length of time, kills the nerves
and produces local or general paralysis.
There is no necessity for using these
uncertain agents when positive remedy

Mr.. Hunt states that the Use of trap

and while not always the cheapest, MS

THIRTEEN MILES OF NEW
SEWERS CONSTRUCTED
Superintendent McCombs Annual Report-Work on
Sewage Disposal Plans.

The District Commissioners yesterday
received from Mr.. David E. McComb
Superintendent of Sewers, his annual
report of operations covering the fiscal
year ended June 30 last. Tables ac-
company the report showing in detail
the amount of work done under con-
tract and by the permit and assessment
ayetems. These show that there were
2.2S miles of main sewer constructed
and 994 miles of pipe sewer. making a
total of 1922 miles. At the close of the
year there were 431.62 miles of sewer
completed in the District.
The care of the sewers during the
year involved 1897 jobs of cleaning and
repairs. at a cost of s11,2S0.9o. and an
additional amount of s6,95S.94 was ex-
pended for the manual flushing of sew
ers.
Mr. McComb describes in his report
the nature of the work done upon the
sewer system, and specifies the cost
under several appropriations, which in
each case was expended. Work on Ger
preparations was completed.
The tide gate chamber and outlet sec
ton Of the pumping station In course
of construction under contract with
Andrew Gleeson we're still in progress
at the end of the fiscal year. The
runps and engines for the temporary
pumping station were placed in posi-
ton under contract by the Camden
Iron Works.
Mr.. McConb says relative to the sew
age disposal project:
Under the appropriation for the
preparation of detailed plans and speci-
fcations for sewage disposal system
complete surveys for the various trunk
sewers, the inverted siphon crossing the
Anacostia River and the pumping sta
tion have been completed. The sur
veys for land to be acquired for the
construction of the outfall sewer have
not been fully completed.
Detailed sheets of the various por-
tions of the work and specifications are
being prepared and will be completed,
in all probability, within the present
fiscal year The work has followed the
general lines indicated in the report
of the Board Of Sanitary Engineers of
1890. with such notifications as addi-
tional study of the situation indicated.
The report describes fully the essen
tial details of work in progress on the
system.

ORIGIN OF THE TROUSER.
How the Style Was Introduced 100
Years Ago.

Very quietly ana without any pomp or
ceremony we-that is. the masculine por-
ton of the human race-are celebrat ting
sence of any festivities in connection
with the anniversary is only natural.
Mankind is somewhat ashamed of the
trouser. To begin with. the popular nick
name for that garment is 'unmention
a les" and our one object in life seems
to be to hide as much of this particular
form of raiment as we can. This is the
principal reason for the popt1Iarity of
the frock coat. and If college presidents
and supreme court Judges have adopted
the practice of wearing long gowns of Of
flee on the plea that they add to the i'm
pressiveness of their appearance and to
the dignity it is because their folds con-
ceal such very Ordinary apparel as trous-
ers.
Trousers came in 100 years ago as the
result of drink, and may be said to owe
their origin to Old World royalty. which
in those days ate. and especially drank,
very heavily, and was consequently af-
flicted with govt and other maladies of
a character to swell the leg. Knee
breeches and stockings-so dear not only
to the early presidents Of the United
States and to the sIgners OF the declara-
ton of independence, but likewise to the
old Puritan element of America-werc

if they belonged to the anointed of the
Lord. and the result was that George w.

III, of Prussia, and many other equally
illustrious personages adopted the mod
ern form of pantaioons, which was at
the time a source Of no end of ridicule
and entertainment to Gilray and to the
other caricaturiSts of the age :
1t was not until the fourth decade Of
the nineteenth century. when heavy
drinking by the classes went out of fash
ion. that an endeLVor was made to re-
vive the knee breaches and the stockings
as an article of masculine attire. But
the custom Of wearing trousers had
meanwhile become SO universal that 1t
was found impossible to do away with

in styles us well as in color, grow tame
and same and be uninteresting. No
matter how elegant the gown, this
same criticism can he made. 1t must
be varied to continue to interest.
This item of varying ones gowniny
is the most important one woman
can grasp. In matters of household in
tcreSt, such rs in the setting of the
table, this quality would not be ques-
toned for a moment-the Importance
of variety. But in the matter of dress
menu it is not always so quickly under
stood.
The best dressers in the world, those
who hold and maintain a reputation
for dressing well, continually, month
after month, all through the year, are
those who manage always to wear
something novel. not necessarily new,
but rearranged tastefully, so as to seem
new.
Striking articles are by no means the
best for this. There are many reasons
why the garment known as striking"
is not to be advised, beside the fact
that it is not in good taste. One of
the main reasons is that il is toe dis
tinctive. too easily recognized, too
much in character as it were. and not
sufficiently nondescript to be worn
many times.
To secure an amount of catchinesS in
dress, to look always well and attrac-
lively gowned. a woman should pay at
tention to three laws:
First, neatnesS in dress.
Second variety in dress.
Third, attention to detail.
The first of these is the most difficult
and one of the most expensive. Neat
ness i'll the Doth century, 1902, sense
does not mean more brushing and bind
ing; it pertains to the characteristics
of the gown.
The immaculate band upon the col
lar, changed once or twice day, the
marvelously neat sleeve cuffs and ruch-
ings, be they bell, turn over or wrist
bands, the finishings of the gown, these
distinguish the costume as neat
Variety in dress is something not all
can accomplish. but all can come very
near to it. Ingenuity will take the
place of quantity and color schemes
will make an old gown seem like new.

A Vote for Roosevelt.

J. Adam Bede makes good point when
he insists in his speeches that vote for
Van SAINT is vote for Roosevelt. To Van
SAINT belongs the credit Of instituting the
policy of legal resistance Of railroad con-
solidation in this state. But to .Presi-
Diet Roosevelt Is due the credit of insti-
tuting an investigation, through the legal
department of the federal government, in
the courts, as to the legality of railroad
and other combinations organized for
monopolstic purposes. Governor Van
SAINTS action has received the highest
possible Endorsement in the action of the
president himself. A vote to sustain Van
SAINTS anti-merger policy is vote to -sus-
tain Theodore Roosevelt in his courageous
assertion Of the proposition that capital
istic ordinations must obey the law.
The defeat Of Van SAINT will be taken as
a rebuke by the people of Minnesota ad-
ministered to the president as we'll as the
governor. Such a defeat is not to be re-
garded as a possibility, but a small ma
jority for Van SAINT over a candidate who
stands so clearly and Enthusiastically for
the railroad merger as does Mr.. Rosing,
would be deplorable as a failure to give
that emphasis to verdict Of approval of
the Roosevelt and Van SAINT policies that
they should have.

DOUGLAS Defends It.

In a. letter to Mr.. George A. Thacher
of Zumbrota, Attorney General Douglas
concisely defends the law increasing the
rate of taxation on the gross earnings
of Minnesota railways-the law the Vot-
ers will pass on next Tuesday.
First, he shows that it would be unwise
to retain the present phraseology, no mat
ter how favorable to the states interests,
because 1t is supported by contract
which will not exist after the rate is in
creased Hence it's constitutional defects
would be open to attack. Second, Mr.
Douglas says that supreme court decisions
indicate that the form used is the consti-
tutional one. Third, the indications are
since the state traffic alone supplies 81
per cent Of the present gross earnings tai
and will supply about IS per cent under
the new law, that the state will suffer nc
loss Of revenue from the law.
It is worth noting in this connection
that officials Of the Great Northern rail-
way stated in the merger inquiry last Fri
day that the proosed law will largely
increase their taxes. The Northern Pa
cif1c must be similarly affected.
It must be remembered by the voters
that If the state of Minnesota is ever te
get away from the old contract limiting
the rate of railway gross earnings tax
| alton to per cent the way offered then
now is the only way. II the revenue from
the railways is not increased so much b,
the new law as 1t was hoped it would
be, the way will be clear to add to the
rate.
The legislature did it's duty, Attorne!
General Douglas drafted the law with char
! acteristic care and faithfulness, and 1t Il
now for the voters to decide whether tn
: railways shall henceforth pay more or les
! taxes. ..-.> 49,
Voters interested In this very substan
) tial reform will doubtless receive som
hints as to their course with resepct t
state candidates when they are reminded
that the democrats are posing as indif
erent to the proposed law.
