ON ASSAULT CHARGE
Judge Scott Refuses to Hold Stang fol-
Beating Jeremiah Desmond
With His Club.

Judge Scott. in the Police Court yes
terday, refused to hold a policeman for
assault Stang, of the Fourth precinct.
and stationed at the Long Bridge, was
placed on trial on charge Of beating
Jeremiah Desmond.
The testimony of more than two doz-
en- witnesses tended TO show that Des-
mond and several other men were on
the Long Bridge the day Of the recent
wreck, and Stang was on duty there
at the time. Several averred that Stang
jabbed Desmond IN the back with his
stick and then tried to shove him away.
Desmond objected to this treatment,
and when he informed Stang that he
intended seeing him for II, Stang. ac-
cording to witnesses, then began a fusil-
lade of blows on Desmond's head and
face. and caused the blood TO flow cop
iously.
Witnesses agreed that Stang brutally
assaulted Desmond without just provo
cation. Judge Scott, however. dismiss
ed the case. saying he was mot quite
clear as TO whether or not the officer
used any undue violence"

BROOELAND CITIZENS
COMMEND ESTIMATES
Pleased With Opening OF
Rhode Island Avenue.
CAR SERVICE INADEQUATE
Association Declares Company to Be
Unmindful of the Best Interests
of the Community.

There IS one citizens association in
the District that feels grateful to the
District Commissioners for proposed i'm
provements listed in the estimates for
1905. The Brookland Association. at its
regular monthly meeting. held last night
IN the Brookiand town hall. considered
the Improvements allowed within its
Jurisdiction, and extended a vote of
th8aiss TO the District authorities. The
principal items are the extension OF
Rhode Island Avenue, from Fourth
Street TO Brentwood Road, the opening
OF Seventh Street from Bunker Hill
Road TO Rhode Island Avenue, and the
macad2mizing OF Dover Street from
Twelfth 10 Fourteenth Streets. The
ciLzens were particularly pleased be-
cause the extension of Rhode Island
Avenue has been placed at the head OF
the list for street improvements.
Condemn Car Service.
The inadequate car service from
BroolSland to Washington, the associa-
ton declared. should be remedied. Mem
bers detailed many grievances and inti-
mated that the railroad is treating the
residents of the suburb with discourtesy.
An instance was cited where half a
dozen cars passed persons waiting at
the Rhode Island Avenue crossing, re-
fusing to stop because a certain number
or passengers were aboard. This scheme
works all right, 1t was said, for those
living near the terminus of the line, who
had no trouble getting in on the original
load. but IL was considered unreasonable
for the cars 10 ignore signals to stop
while en- route. The matter was finally
referred TO the committee on railroads
for investigation and report
Church Tax Ignored.
After brief discussion, 1t was decided
20 lay on the table a resolution pre-
sentsd in behalf OF the Northeast Citi-
zens' Association, to the effeci that the
property Of religious or charitable So
cieties. or churches. should not be exempt
from taxation. The resolution provided
that all property should be taxed, ex-
cept that Of the Federal Government,
but the members Of the Brookland As
sociztion evidently believed It to be a
latter which was not OF primary and
immediate importance TO their suburb,
for its disposition was effected by a
unanimous vote.

MEXICO AS A RESORT.

Those of us who remember this city
as it was twenty years ago, when
neither the Central nor the National
was complcted, can bear witness to
something different that was felt in the
very air of the Mexico of that time. It
seemed to be imbued with a deeper
restfulness. and the writer. as he re-
calls this capital in the spring of 1888
thinks of it asa.a place cut off from
the busy modef1fs4seorld, a sort of har-
Dor of refuge 5vhere the stern exigen-
cies of competition had not yet spoiled
the joys of life. The Alameda, in par
ticular, though sadly neglected, as COM
pared with it's present state, was SYM
bolical of the Mexico of that time.
People spent the days on the benches
under the trees without any discOm-
forting self-reproach of occupations
neglected. Law students, happy though
penn1less, repaired thither nominally to
study. but really to chat for hours on
end or to ogle the nurse maids Even
the big yellow butterflies seemed to
wing the air in the fresh, delicious
mornings, or through the long, sunny
afternoons. more lazily than now.
Inc difference between the Mexico of
today and the Mexico of that time lies
not SO much in the material TRANSFORMED
ton of the city that has been accom-
plished. but in its mental atmosphere.
Mexico was not then the busy cosmopoli-
tan place that it is today Life flowed in
placid stream as it still flows in such
interiar cities as Morelia and Zamora,
which. though touched by the railways,
lie AlOt btcii uleldInOFp1OS60 Dy them.
Yet all this is perceptible only to the
persons who have long resided in Mex
city is just as capable of affording the
rest cure as it was twenty years ago.
The fast pace, the pace that kills, of
northern cities is unknown here The
southern charm and the arts that give
grace and elegance to life are still prom
business IS now done here at this capt
tai, which is the commercial as well as
the political center of the republic, no
absorbed hn of
wealth to be insensible to the amen
tiles of existence. The business man has
time to shake hands and exchange greet
ings with his frinds. 1t is probably this
social geniality, making the people of
this city seem Ike a one big family and
nifty to feel that he occupies a distinct
place in the esteem and consideration Of
others that constitutes one of the charms
of life in Mexico.-Modern Mexico.

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles Quick
ly, PainIessIy, Without Danger.

People go along for years suffering
with piles. They try this and that and
the other thing from carrying a buck
eye to getting treatment from a physi-
clan. They obtain temporary relief,
maybe, but they are never quite cured
A little strain in lifting, excessive IA
tigue a little constipation or a little
diarrhoea and the piles come back.
They don't seem to amount to much
but they Danish sleep and appetite. No
position is comfortable. There is intense
local pain and that dreadful feeling Of
weight in the perineum-
Maybe in the early stages some of the
rary relief. If the case is of long stand
ing there is only one speedy and sure
remedy. Tt is Pyramid Pile Cure. Even.
use other applications may cure and
tain always reliable, always brings
comfort at once. Its prompt use saves
months of severe suffering In extreme
cases it will save surgical operations,
and their attendant dangers and dis
comforts. 1t is better than a knife. VIII
cure easier, quicker and safer. Thous-
ands have used it Thousands have
been cured by it. The cost is trifiing
compared with what it does. The price
is 90 cents Most anybody would gladly
pay ten dollars to be rid of piles

The booklet contains one hundred
pages with the cover beautifully Illus
trated, the front page being a represen-
tation of the old city gates or st. Au-
gustine with the legend: THE East
Coast of Florida is Paradise Regained.''
The back cover illustrates the sunny
side of the earth and the inside of the
cover contains distinct maps of Florida
and the adjacent coast states.
1t is especially valuable to the tourist,
as it gives description of each place
on the East Coast, the distance, rates OF
fare and complete list of hotels and
boarding houses with the daily and
weekly rate of each. which ranges from
eight dollars per week up. The idea that
only wealthy people can afford to visit
the East Coast of Florida during the
winter tourist season is a mistake.

PASS TRADING STOPPED.
Western Roads Will Neither Give
Nor Take FREQ Rides.

The western pass agreement adopted by
~ rSllfoa1s' incluolng many new mes fnas'
draws the lines governing issuance of free
transportation more closely than previ-
Gus agreements. Its intent is to prohibit
not only annual and time passes, but also
trip passes. trip tickets, mileage tickets,
special trains and all forms of free or
reduced transportation, state or inter-
state, intended to influence or secure
freight or passenger business. Specific ac-
count is made of companies or individ-
uals to whom free or reduced transporta-
ton may not be issued.
An important feature of the new agree
ment is the arrangement by which the
chairman of the general body was given
power to appoint nine executive officers
representing various lines, who shall have
authority to pass upon all points arising
from an Interpretation OF the agreement
The agreement of the eastern trunk
lines will be rigidly maintained in the
coming year, especially i'll relation to OK
change passes. The free hauling of pr1-
vate official cars will be restricted as
much as possible as in the past year.

Galveston, Tex, Dec. Another cut
in the rate on -four for export has been
made by the EASTERN lines in favor of
the Atlantic seaboard lines and the gulf
lines have met it, The reduction now
amounts to CENTS per 100 pounds. and
the records of the gulf lines show this
class Of freight to be rapidly increasing
The compact establishing a rate baSing
at Missouri 1iver and Kansas points
was violated drst by the eastern lines,
because. it is tlaimed, they saw the ex-
port -four business dwindling from the
Atlantic ports and coming to the gulf
ports.
The Santa Fe, which has an eastern
outlet through Chicago, is standing by
the Texas poft, and the gulf lines take
the same course. The fight is being
Waged bitterly. Up to last season Gal
weston handltd very little flour for ex-
port. The tf1cial record shows this
season an: ind'eaSe of over $50 900 in ex-
port breadstiffs. New Orleans shows
an increase Il $50, 900. Three of the At

York shows hn increase of only 100000,
while the increase in exports of bread

TEXAS MUST BE GOOD.
Railroads Threaten to Quit Building
More Track There.

The mileage next year will show a.
falling off, SO it is claimed, as few of
the railroads are contemplating extern
sions of sufficient proportion to be in
cluded in the list of material advance
ment.
The roads entering Mexico promise
much in the way of increased mileage,
and Texas comes second. In view of
the fact that the state railroad commits
sioners of the latter state have declared
open warfare on the railroad and ex-
press companies it is not probable that
the railroads entering that state will
seek to carry out the extensions and
improvements that have been figured
upon by the executive heads of the
roads interested.
At the present time there is a DISPOSE
ton on the part of the railroads to cur
tail expenses in the way of improve
ments because of the action of the
state authorities in hampering the
work being done by the roads.
