PEACE RESTORED.
Authority Defined as to the Entering
of a Nolle Prosequi

This morning in the Police Court Judge
Scott took occasion to make a few remarks
in the matter respecting the order of the
Commissioners defining the duties of the
assistant corpora ton counsel who prose
cutes in the Police Court. He said he had
nothing to add to what he said Thursday.
He read in The Star yesterday what was
published about the legal side of the order.
and said he took it from that that the
prosecutor still has the right to nolle pros.
cases.
Nobody has ever disputed that" said
Mr.. Pugh.
He explained that he could not enter a
nolle pros. in cases coming before him In
which the witnesses stated a prima facie
case. Even though he should be certain
that case would be dismissed by the
court he could not enter a nolle pros If wit
nesseS stated an alleged violation of law.
Judge Scott said it was for counsel to
determine the matter of the making out
of a Drima facie case In view of the
printed explanation, the court stated, there
is but little difference between the present
method and that which was followed be-
fore the order was issued. The only en-
ceptlon of any consequence, far as the
court could see, was in the matter of tax
ing collateral. Mr.. Pugh said that the
diffculty about the whole thing is that the
order was misconceived by some news
papers.
Judge Scott repeated his statement made
two days ago that he did not know who
was responsible for the order, but he was
certain it was not the Commissioners Mr.
PuSh SAID he was away on his vaca ton
When the order was issued, and he knew
no more about 1t than the court

Municipal Ownership as a Cure.

~ Tue T-uIicr OF Inc Evening Star:
L have no special knowledge or informa-
ton In regard to the municipal ownership
OF street railroads, but it is generally I'M
uerslooo that where 1T has had Il fair trial
satisfactory results have been obtained. In
some cities, especially in Europe. the nro
ceeds of roads owned and operated by the
governments have exceeded expenses. and
nave even gone far toward a substantial
revenue and the reduction of taxes al
though the tariff is generally less than
one-half what ours is. Therefore I suggest
that the lines in the District of Columbia
be purchased and operated by the District
government. l present the matter as
gently as possible for 1 do not want to
shock the sensitive organization of any
one, for there is no doubt that the thought
of such a departure would cause heart fail
ure with some persons; still, it seems to
me practical way of escape from the be-
wildering muddle we are in on account of
the want Of proper transportation on GER
tain of the suburban lines and the inabil-
ity of the Commissioners to regulate the
same. Corporations, we are told, have no
souls to save (and it is limited that they
are also beyond punishment), but they do
have dollars to save. and they are quite as
precious to corporations SOULS and
therefore. in view of the fact that money
is being lost daily in keeping the lines
open, have no doubt of their hearty APP
prevail of any proposition which will re-
lieve them of such unproductive and even
expensive holdings On the other hand, the
patrons of the roads (some willfully put it
the victims of the roads) will, 1 believe. be
delighted with the scheme / make no spe-
cial argument in support of the sugges-
ton; it must take it's chances before the
tribunal of fair and unbiased minds but it
will be well to remember that it is not
something new and untried. The first ex-
pense would be considerable, but. without
taking into account the revenue. the re-
suits would be beneficent, not only to
the long suffering public, but to the pres
ent unfortunate owners of the roads, no
reasonable person could object Just how
to inaugurate such movement / cannot
suggest, but. though the people of the Dis
trict have no representation in Congress-
no doubt any formidable presentation of
their wishes would be gladly supported by
the gentlemen (unless they be nothing but
creations of the fancy there who are look
| ing out for the interests of the roads 1t
| is to be regretted that the Commissioners
are tied hand and foot and are powerless to
help, but God helps those who help them
selves. and heaven neer helps the men who
will not act. H. A. CURTIS

AUXILIARY ORGANIZES.
To Be Known as the department of
the District of Columbia"

At the national convention of the Spanish
War Auxiliary held in St. Louis in Septem-
Der, the president general, Mrs Isabelle
Alexander, restored the District of Column
bia organization and appointed Mrs. kath-
arine Wood, District president, and Mrs.

meeting of the District conference. Mrs.
Wood called the District conference to meet
at her house Monday evening. There We're
present representatives from both Of the
auxllaries of the District, and several men,
bers of the national staff
One of the first considerations OF the con-
ference was a name for the District organl-
cation, as the new constitution of the or
ganfzation had designated the desirability
of new titles. BY unanimous vote 1t was
decided to name the District organization
Department Of the District of Columbia. -
Mrs Wood and Mrs. Isabel w. Ball gave
accounts of the recent national convention,
including the action of the convention IN
electing as national senior vice president
Miss Marion BraZicr of Massachusetts,, who
is a member of the Mary A. Babcock Aux
iliary of the District, and who is accredited
to the District in her national capacity, but
who has never attended meeting of that
body. Miss BraZier was a memoer OIL
the national convention by right OF
being president of the department or
Massachusetts.
The matter of this sort of representation
was fully discussed, and a resolution was
unanimously adopted, asking the president
general to rule that no member shall hold a
national office and represent any auXlllary
except one in the state of which she is 4
legal resident, and that any member 50
holding office at the present time shall be
rotified to transfer her membership at once:
The conference also adopted resolutions of
thanks to the National Auxiliary for the
courtesy extended Mrs. Isabel Worrell Bal.

Agricultural Department Exhibit.
Arrangements are being completed at the
Agricultural Department for holding the
annual exhibition of chrysanthemums in
the new green houses being erected at the
corner of 1tth and b streets northwest. In
view of the fact that the chrysanthemums
at the Agricultural Department comprise
many varieties, those which in full
bloom early and those which bloom fully at
a later date. the exhibition is expected to
last for several weeks. 1t is believed now
that the greenhouses will be in such shape
that they can be thrown open to the public
for exhibition on November ], when the
earlier varieties of this popular blossom
are expected to be ready for view. 1t is
said. however. that the exhibition will not
have attained its best until about the 10th
of November, when the large number of
late varieties have shown their lowell
ness to the fragrant and balmy air of the
autumn.

The Value of Charcoal.

FEW PEOPLE KNOW HOW USEFUL 1T rs IN
PRESERVING HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the
safest and efficient disinfcctant and purifier In
nature. but few realize its value when taken Into
the human system for the same cleansing put
pose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take
Of il the better; it Is not drug at all. but SIM
ply absorbs the gases and impurities always pres
ent in the stomach and ntestincs and carries them
out OF the system.
Charcoal swcetens the breath after smoking
drinking after eating onions and other odorous
vegetables.
Charcoal cffectually clears and improves the CON-
plexion 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as
a natural and .minently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the Injurious gases which collect in
the stomach and bowels IT disinfects the mouth
and throat from the poison Of catartb.
All druggists sell charcoal In form or an
ether but probably the best charcoal and the most
for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozcnges;
they are composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal and other harmless antiseptics In tab
let form or rather in the form Of large, pleasant
tasting lozenges. the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily Use of these lozenges will soon tell
in a much improved condition of the general
health better complexion, sweeter breath and
purer blood, and the beauty of IL is, that no
possible harm result from their continued use,
but on the contrary, great benefit.
Buffalo physician I'm speaking Of the benefits
of charcoal says: "I advise Stuart's Charcoal
Lozengcs all patients suffering from gas In stom-
aeh and bowels. and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath mouth and throat; also believe
the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use OF
them: they cost but % cents box at drug stores.
and although in some sense a patent preparation.
yet ! believe I get more and better charcoal in
strari's Charcoal Lozcngcs than In any Of the
binary charcoal tablets" ocayA1b, %

The Rise in Bread.

Many readers hope you will have more

ago L have seen the standard price of
the best bread remain at cents retail

Hour were higher than now. Six cents

The proposed raise is the wicked attemnt
