tiguous to wharf, and not to form any bar
rier or obstruction In line Of streets Mr.
s. T. Thomas, attorney for the Martin
brothers, has written to the Commissioners
saying his clients refuse to accept the per-
NIT on the ground that the condition above
referred to, as they understand 1t. implies
that a street extends through their lots
1.-The Messrs. Martini he continues ARE
not squatters on public space, but, on the
contrary, are the fee simple owners of their
lots, having purchased them in good faith
without reference to the line Of streets,
except Water street on the west and S
street ON the north, and they claim the
right to repair rthsir wharf, and thus make
use of their Property, without being sub
jected to the unreasonable condition that
their improvements when made, shall not
be in the line ofrstreets.'"
The corporation counsel will decide as to
whether or not the permit can be modified
so as to comply with the wishes of the
Messrs. Martin? 's

the bill now pending before Congress au-
thorizing that company to strengthen the

order that It may lay single track across

way OF the project, IL Is said the state of
Virginia having granted the company a
charter and franchise. Under Its charter
the company has the right to build branch

DO NOT DOSE THE STOMACH.
Cure Catarrh by Nature Own M eth
delivery Breath of Hyomei Brings
Relief.

Nearly every one who has catarrh knows how
foolish 1t is to try and cure It by drugging the
stomach. Temporary relief may be given, but q
seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would have said
the only way to catarrh would be to have q
change of climate; but with Hyomei you can
carry health giving climate in your vest pocket
and by breathing 1t a few minutes four times q
day cure yourself
The complete outfit of Hyomel costs but $1.00
and consists of inhaler that can be carried In
the vest pocket, medicine dropper and a bottle
of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime, and
there is enough Hyomei for more than a months
treatment of catarrh II one bottle does not cure,
an extra bottle OF Hyomei be obtained for 80
cents. 1t is the most economical of all remedies
advertised for the Of catarrh and Is the only
one that follows nature in her method Of treating
diseases OF the respiratory organs.
The leading druggists OF this city have sold hum
dreds Of Hyome outfits. and the more they sell the
more convinced they are that they are perfectly
safe In guaranteeing to refund the money II Hy-
omei does not cure.
Those who are subject to catarrh or catarrhal
colds will do themselves an injustice II they do
not purchase q Hypnai outnt at once. % as to Be
prepared for the sudden changes Of the season.
