QUEEN VICTORIA
 ATTENDS THEATRE
Court Physicians Now Think the Ex- pected Heir Will Arrive In Two
 Or Three Days.

Madrid, April 3O-Queen Victoria con- tinues remarkably well and cheerful. She went on a long drive twice today and this evening attended the theatre with King Alfonso.
 The court physicians now think it may be two or three days before the ex- pected heir Is born, but declare that owing to her majestys excellent condi- ton there is no occasion for uneaslness. The queen ordered the removal of the heavy crown surmounting the two Cor inthian columns at the head of the his- toric cradle. fearing that 1t might cause an accident

 neglect or refuse to comply with the law recurring them to have their garbage, trash, etc., in proper receptacles and in convenient places.
 During the year of 1905 the depart ment hauled 24,S76 loads of garbage, at an expense of s7,91043. During the year 1906 the department hauled 30,779 loads at a total expense of s9,493.4s, an increase of 64O3 loads of garbage at an increased ex- pense of s1,5s3.06.
 ",fhere are sixty-one and half miles of sanitary main sewers ranging in size from six to twenty-four inches, which this department has to keep in repair and free from Instructions. This re- ouires a great deal of work of an in telugent nature The sewers are, in the main, doing excellent service, but would strongly recommend a new and larger main on the Southside, running east from Fourteenth street, through Alley to Eighteenth street. thence south to Alley G. with branches running up Alleys E and F to such points as they cease to ad- init surface water during rainy weather. This line as you are aware, follows the bank of the main storm water ditch of the Southside of the city In some places it is exposed to the action of the water in this ditch and Is frequently broken by floating sticks or timbers, not only al- lowing storm water to enter and flood the sewer, but also permits the contents of the sanitary sewer to leak out into the open ditch causing pools of filth to col lect in shallow places, and become menace to the public health. If possible, this should be remedied during the com ing summer. before the rainy weather of the fall of 1907 sets in.
 Again I wish to call your attention to the hot water getting into the large brick storm sewer on Avenues and D. Recently MT. Kendrick and myself in- spected the inside of those sewers for several blocks and I do not hesitate to say that if the hot water is not prompt ly. and permanently stopped from en- tering them that it will be matter of a few years when they will fall in and become useless. entailing thousands of dollars expense to replace them. One break has already occurred on Twenty first street between Avenues c and D., which cost the city considerable money to repair and i~nr delay in the naving of this street."

Dear Sir---About fifteen months ago came to you for relief from one or the worst diseases tat ever anect- ed mankind. had been slave to al- coholic stimulants for at least 30 years. During that time l had maoe and spent lots of money My traae naa been that of florist and iandscape gardener, and for years l got all the work I wanted but for the last several years nay customer had lost confluence in me, and as a result my business was lost. Finally, in my desponoency' I began drinking, and this spree last ed me nearly. six months, and when came to you I was an old, palsied man of 10 gears, without friends. As you. know, I began trsatment at once, ana although Thad been on a continual spree for the last six months, l found that the medicine you gave me was all that needed. consequently I only took two drinks of whiskey after beginning treatment. slept well and enjoyed fine appetite during my treatment, and as you know I was able to work every day whilst under treatment without ex- periencing any inconvenience whateV1 CT. Your treatment is all you claim for if. and If a man has any manhood left in him he will never relapse to his old habits.
 The effect of the treatment in my case has been to strengthen me men, tally and physically. In Tact, It mas invigorated every organ of my body and as a result I now feel twenty years younger than I did when I began treatment.
 Yours truly,

All through MT.

Indeed. he goes a step further in this direction than has yet been the case, and advo. oates a policy which.

 whether thu city is or is not . bet- ter place. than the country for reach @ing boys is a question which is causing much discussion among local educa- tors.
 A local minister of prominence has just opined that 1t is. stating the city boy has a better chance h hfs moral development than the country lad finding his reason in the argument that the latter must put in so much time at being busy. that is, working on the farm. that there is no time left for his moral education such as going to church. This Is a distinct rever- sal of the popular opinion and remains as yet in the realm of theory: statis- however. show beyond a doubt that the country Is much better place to start
 ! As a result of the Boards annual inspection. the New York Juvenile Asylum, located twenty miles out of the city and the first institution of ita kind to\ adopt the cottage plan, has just beeh placed in the first class which means that it has attained the highest possible efficiency. But the same institution when located in its old home in the city amid the atmos. phere which led to the undoing oi the boys who are sent to it never stood hiEher than the third class. s

T. the President Actins in Good Fssshs

W0ShtuS tot AA The game of hide and seek which the President, to borrow Justice Brew CTS apt phrase, is playing with the American people. and particularly with
 the Republican Party, becomes more and more baffling and piquant. How. for example, are we to interpret the acute distinction made at the White
 House between what Mir. Roosevelt tells casual visitors and what he wants the public to believe? Only few
 days ago the President remarked to a
 caller, in the presence of an unim. peachable witness. that he could not serve beyond his present term. and l that some one else must carry on his | work. Hardly had this gotten into the papers when a semi official statement
 appeared to the effect that what the
 President said to visitors must not be
 accepted as representing his official
 views, which will be placed before the
 people oniw in a formal and unmistak . able way. There Is plenty of evidence i that the President has lately taken to ! deprecating the thir1-term movement l privately while seemingly desirous of | holding the third-term possibility dang
 ling before the country. If this sort i of thfnble-rigging is designed to keep
 the opposition guessing. 1t is highly
 successful. But does it heighten Mir.
 Roosevelt's reputation for straight
 forwardness and square dealing?
