The Washington Militia.

A sensation was sprung in Washing.
ton military circles yesterday, when
Brig. Gen. George H. Harries, command
ing the District of Columbia National
Guard, issued four short paragraphs,
known as General Orders No. 8, dis
banding the First regiment of the
Guard as a regiment and honorably dis
charging Col. Henry May, the comman-
der of the regiment; Lieut.. Col. Burton
R. Ross, who is second in command,
and Capt Walden MYer, the regimentsi
chaplain. Members of the First regi-
ment regard these new orders as humil-
iating to them. Under the order the
First, Second and Third battalions of the
First regiment are detached aud desig
mated as the Second, Third aud Fourth
Separate" battalions Of the Guard.
The first separate battalion of the Guard
is composed of negroes, and many mem.
bers of the First regiment regard the
designation as second separate, third
separate and fourth separate battaions
as giving Them rank below the negro
battalion.

Prince Adalbert, the third son of the
Kaiser, at Karlsruhe, Germany for blood
poisoning. The Prince is reported to be
doing we'll after the operation. The
Prince was stung by fly and symptoms

Dominion, and the American lines have

COMMON COUNCIL.
fifteen members were present.

Fifteen members were present.
The committees on finance and schools
reported that information had been re-
ceived from the City School Board that
no additional appropriation would be re-
quired to continue the session this year
at the close of June, and this report
WAS accepted.
The finance committee reported adj
yersely to the application of Fire Chief
Petty for an increase of pay to 5000 per
annum. Capt Bryan, chairman of the
committee. said that he appreciated the
efficient services rendered by the chief,
but, the city could not afford the increase.
Mr. Strauss opposed the report and
moved 10 non concur.
This motion to nOn-concur was agreed
to ayes 9, noes 5.
Mr.. Strauss moved that the salary of
the fire chief be $3.50
1t was finally ordered that 5000 per
annum be allowed the fire chief for ex-
renses during the residue of his term Of
Office, making his whole pay $3.50 per
annum.
The committee on light and finance
reported on the electric franchise sale adj
vising that all the bids be rejected and
that a new ordinance be prepared pro-
viding for a Reimbursement of proposals
for sale. The report was adopted and
recommitted.
The finance committees reported the
appropriation bill for 1906 and which
is practically the same as last years ex-
cept that the appropriations for streets,
public schools and gas works are left
blank. The bill was recommitted.
The same committee reported the license
bill practically unchanged from last
year.
Mr.. Leadbeater moved to increase
the license tax on wholesale liquor
dealers from s75 to $3.50. He said that
it had been prop sed to make this in
crease several years ago. but the same
year The State tax was materially in
creased, so the proposal for local in
crease had been deferred, but he thought
that the time had now arrived for this
purpose. Alexandria's tax was very
much less than in any other railroad
city in the State and dealers from
abroad were thus induced to come here
and compete with the older dealers.
The conditions now coming with the
said improvements &c. made such tax
a necessary. besides the low tax was |

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 10. 1906

DISPATCH from St. Petersburg says
that orders have been issued to the po-
lice 70 exclude workingmen and poorly
dressed citizens from the streets ana
,,ordens which are selected by the
fashionable and wealthy residents OF the
city for their promenades and rides
This order has naturally resulted IN
causing many turbulent scenes. The
directions it is said, we're given by the
rrefect Of police. Under his instructions
the police are to prevent workmen Oh
any poorlv-clothed people from entering
the fashionable quarters of the city or
walking on the quays or in the gardens
or squares near the palaces. Every DAY
the efforts of the police to obey these
instructions result in small disorders.
Workingmen who are stopped by the
officers invariably resent such tyranny
and attempt to pass. They are then
seized by the police and dragged away
from the forbidden streets. Had the
above statement been sent from some
other European capital it would probably
be received with caution, but a. 1t
came directly from st. Petersburg there
is little reason to question its authentlci-
ty. The great majority of the human
race are poor, and about the only con-
ISOLATION such feed upon is the TACT that
poverty is no crime, but when attempts
are made to insult people who are poorly
dressed, through no fault of their OVID
the fact that class is arrayed against
class in Russia is by no means strange.

By THE arrest yesterday in Strouds-

William DAILY, but who is known by
several aliases, publicity was given to a
daring forgery perpetrated upon the

under false pretenses $27, 900. The
crime includes the completely of a trust

charged with having stolen policy for

Just how many ether policies have been
tempered with by DAILY, or by his con-
federate. is a matter of conjecture. 1t

Yes" said the officer politely.
Have you read the bible?"

"And do you remember Christ's or

And do you remember that begging

of the Blood II One Wants Bright Eyes
and . Clear Complexion.
Every sensible woman naturally wishes
to appear attractive. She knows the value
of bright eyes, delicate complexion and
lively spirits. She knows also that
good health is Mt the basis Of her charms,
and that good blood is the source of good
health.
Miss Mamie Conway has a complexion
which is the admiration of all who know
her. Asked if she could make any sug-
gestions that would be helpful to others
less fortunate, she said
my complexion would not have
pleased you. if you had seen it two years
ago. It was then about as bad as it
could be, and it gave me a great deal of
dissatisfaction. If you want q good
complexion you must take care OF your
health. especially Of the condition of
your blood. My health was at that time
completely broken down. 1 was nervous,
had frequent headaches, a torpid liver
and a great deal Of pain in hat region.
I suffered also from indigestion. It was
clear that my blood was i'll bad condition,
