Refers to Former Decisions.

The decision continues:
While the question here at issue
has not had judicial Interpretation by
the court of last resort. the statute of
July "a, 1866, as applicable to post
roads, has several times been before
the courts for their construction. 1t
has been held that because of this law
one company having exclusive priVi-
leges under the state law cannot pro-
hibit the erection of the telegraph lines
of another company on the post roads
of the United States. where such other
companies have accepted the proviS-
ions of the act of July "a. 1866 when
those in control of such roads have
given their assent.
1T has also been decided. in the
United States VS.. Union Pacific Rail
road Company, That no railroad COM
pany owning post road of the United
States over which interstate commerce
is carried on can, consistently with the
act of July 24. 1866. bind itself by
agreement to exclude form its roadway
any telegraph company incorporated
under the laws of state which ac-
cepts the provisions of the act and de-
sired the use of that roadway for its
lines in such manner as will not inter
fere with the ordinary travel there

ter was at the recent congress,
which closed it's session in Wash

ing last. She tells the following
story:
II met at the capital the
wives and daughters of most OF
the foreign embassies and lega.
tions. Charming women; but
what funny ideas some of them
have. What queer questions
they ask!
when I was introduced to
the wife of one of the ambassa.
doris, she said with sweet sim.
plicity;
so you come from the
! northwest? What state?
When I said Wisconsin, she
said: 'Ah, yes, you know Mil,
waukee, then
eff l know any town it is Mil,
waukee. But 1 wondered why
this woman, whose home is
leagues beyond the seas, and
who has not been in this coun-
try long, should speak as she
did of Milwaukee. Later in the
evening when my curiosity had
free rein I drew her out on the
subject and she said:
"I should so much like to
see the great American city
where they make such delicious
a beverage. All, the Milwau-
kee beer"

You are from the north.
west? And your home is--?'

" 4 do not know it; you will
pardon me. l do not know
where it is. she answered.

clapping her jeweled hands.

wildering woman who spoke no

an interpreter that she so much
longed to see Milwaukee, be.
cause she said. it was the city
which was better known to her
ia mily than any in this coun.
try, next to Washington, as her
family all liked the beer that
was made there.
"And then l met a foreign
minister, and he was so polite,
so courteous, as they all are,

me Best Remedy for croup.

From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe,
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood. One
of the most terrible things in the world
is to be awakened in the middle of the
night by whoop from one of the chill
dren. The Group remedies are almost Us
sure to be lost, in case of Group, as a. re-
volver is sure to be lost in case of bur
glars. There used to be an old-fashioned
remedy for Group, known, as hive syrup
and tolu, but some modern mothers say
that 0hamberlain's Cough Remedy is bet
ter, and does not cost so much. 1t causes
the patient to "throw up the phlegm"
quicker, and gives relief in shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon as the
croupy cough appears and it will pre-.
vent the attack. 1t never fails, and is
pleasant and safe to take. For sale by

after recovery from diphtherio, and foul
weeks after recovery from scarlet .fevel
of smallpox.
In view of the fact that smallpox il
prevalent in parts of our state, and thai
the time Of year now approaches wher
its ravages are at the worst, it become:
absolutely necessary that our healH
boards and county commissioners tax,
every precaution to be prepared to handle
Immediately any suspicious case, so tina
the chances Of exposure may be kept a
the minimum.
In the southeastern portion Of the stat
the mortality has been gradually on tn,
increase so that We now have a dealt
rate of from IL to 20 per cent.
The fact that in the past the deatl
rate has been low is no reason for re
taxing our vigilance, for at any time tn,
disease may become malignant and wide
spread.
The superintendent of all our stat,
institutions are urged to have all inmate!
and employees yaccinated, and to use tn,
utmost care in admitting applicants from
defective districts.
BY order OF the board,
H. A. BARBEE, NJ. D.,
