Honorable City Council,
Alexandria. Virginia:
Gentlemen
, am returning without approval a
report upon petition to name a road
or street in that part Of the annexed
territory, formerly Alexandria Coun-
'ty. In a communication to the Coun-
cilread alta meeting held November
18Th, l stated that had allowed two
papers ;"to become operative without
signing them" and as l had returned
without approving u third ! added
:''This may appear inconsistent on my
part as the three are alike as to leg
islative conditions" and then said
"Nly excuse or justification is found in
the fact that attention has been more
than once called to these errors. and
to disagree with Council upon mat
tiers the merits of which we are in
accord. is not pleasant to me-" Right
here it may be we'll to emphasize
that these two resolutions received
unanimous votes in both branches,
fourteen and five respectively. AS to
the third, Fire Department matters,
these were returned because they did
not receive the necessary votes in
the Board of aldermen as provided
in section l3 of the Charter. The OBJ
lection was sustained unanimously in
, the Board of Aldermen where the re-
solution originated. The legislation
contemplated by the Fire Committee
has since passed in regular order and
approved upon presentation.
| have alluded TO these proceedings
from the record in order to distinctly
draw the line between agreements ana
diSagreements. This brings US to a
discussion of the Russell Road paper.
The report of the Committee on
Streets should be considered the same
an an Act, Ordinance or Resolution.
Why? Because it aims to DO some
thing-to legislate If not matter
of legislation it certainly has no place
in Council, and further it appears a
matter of sufficient Importance to be
debated, a disagreement between the
two branches and a conference COM
rittce to reconcile the differences. If
Council has any authority, and it
certainly has in naming or changing
the names of streets it must be done
through legislation, and to legislate
requires majority of votes Of men,
bers in each branch. To argue other

would leave minority, temporarily a

The market is ready to take every
scrap of paper as quickly as it comes
from the mill, without much regard for
quality or price. Many of the dealers
have called in their statesmen because
they can sell over the counter all the
paper they are able to obtain from the
mills, while there are some dealers
who keep statesmen in the field merely
to educate their customers, keeping
them in actual touch with market con-
ditions. When conditions become as
phenomenal as they are to-day the
customers are inclined to become
skeptical, suspect manipulation by
makers and dealers and fan into flame
any move for trust busting investi-
cations. Statesmen, though not needed
at the present moment to drum up
trade. can serve a good purpose by
keeping their customers informed of
the real difficulties in getting the sup
plies and helping them when in danger
of running short of stock, and when
the crest of the wave begins to recede
toward the normal competitive basis
they are firm friends.

HOW TO BE RID OF
DISGUSTING DANDRUFF

The only way to be permanently rid
of disgusting, untidy dandruff is to
correct its cause. Washing merely
cleanses the scalp for few DAYS, and
soon the scales form again as thick
as ever.
To destroy the dandruff germ and
get rid of dandruff for good, part the
hair and apply little of the genuine
Partisan Sage directly on the bare
scalp, and rub in with the finger tips
for few minutes, until the scalp alb
serbs it, Go over the entire head in
this same manner.
few days massage with Partisan
Sage will destroy the germs that cause
the dandruff to form. The scalp be-
comes healthy, the hair will grow bet
ter and show more life and vitality
and you need never be troubled by
dandruff again. Faded, dull or lifeless
hair is quickly restored TO beauty by
this simple process, which is absolute !
ly harmless to hair and scalp, as it'll

and will not stain the hair or make

the first opposed the raising of money
for a battleship by public subscrip-
tion and the Tribune has satisfied
itself that the bill introduced into the
House of Representatives by Congress
man William S. Bennett, directing him
to receive the fund, cannot be forced
through the Naval Committee under
this administration.
This destroys all hope OF present
ing the government with any kind of
warship or of turning over the fund

There is no red tape connected with
the presentation Of a prize, however
All that is needed is the consent of
the Secretary of the Navy and the en-
closed letter shows that to have been
obtained. Your attention is called to
the last paragraph, indicating that the
plan provided for a perpetual yearly
reminder of this patriotic movement
with which you have been directly
connected.
AT the outset of the campaign the
Tribune invited the editor of every
paper accepting contributions to serve
on committee to determine on the
final disposition of the fund. In ac-
cordance with this arrangement you
are now requested to tell us if you ap-
prove of this plan in order that action
may be taken at the earliest possible
moment"

BreathesAir Of Hyomei Through Pocket Inhaler
To Cure Catarrh.
Catarrh Sufferers Should Try This New
Method. Often Succeeds Where All
Else Fails and Costs Nothing
Unless II Succeeds.

Leading druggists are rapidly secur-
ing local agencies for a clever pocket
inhaling device that is being widely
and successfully used in the treatment
of catarrh of the nose and throat
asthma, hay-fever, bronchitis, Group,
etc.
This little inhaler, which is made of
hard black rubber, is packed with an
tiseptic gauze into which is poured a
few drops of the pure oil of Hyomei
which the gauze quickly absorbs. Then
by placing the inhaler In the mouth as
shown in the illustration and Just
breathing naturally or by using the
other end of the inhaler and snuffing
up the nose, the user is drawing into
his throat, lungs, air passages and head
the full force of one of the most pow
erful antiseptic and germ killing liquids
ever discovered.
This powerful but pleasant medi-
Gated air penetrates into every nook
and corner of the raw. sore, irlflamed
surfaces, destroys all the catarrhaI i
germ life. soothes and heals the swol-
len membranes and quickly opens the
clogged and stuffed-up air passages
Catarrh goes quickly never to return
where this inhaler is used with Hyomei
for few minutes four or FIVE times
daily and II. c. Kennedy and other
local druggists are so certain of the
results that they are furnishing the
complete treatment - the inhaler and
a bottle of oil of Hyomei to their Gus
toners with the distinct guarantee that

Mr.. Fisher sets almost as much

He is a great admirer of Merritt, and
delights in recalling one instance in
particular of his many good works.
The story runs like this: One day a
stranger entered the office of Merritt,
and asked the kind hearted man what
he could do to free himself from the
drink habit. Mr.. Merritt looked the
man over and his heart was touched
by the wretched appearance of the
beggar. He spoke words of hope and
good cheer to him. More than that,
he handed him s5 bill with the sug-
gestion that he wash, dine return to
Merritt's office, when he would place
$500 to his credit in bank with
which he should clothe himself and
embark again in business. The strang-
er wept with thankfulness and prom
ised reformation. He was true to his
word and the outcome was that John
G. Wooley, afterward one of the
greatest temperance workers in the
country and candidate for President
on the Prohibition ticket, was saved
from a life of intemperance to be-
come a power in the world for So

1T is understood that this fund

every intelligent person must learn
so much about caring for his own
health that by the time he is forty
years of age he can almost be reck-
oned as a physician.
Why, then is there so much talk by
doctors against decentralization" A

ANNIVERSARY OF GEN. GRANTS
DEATH BRINGS RELICS TO LIGHT
Harrisburg Man Has Letter From Stephen Merritt and Drap-
ing From Funeral Car

This weeks anniversary of the
death of General L. S. Grant, in New
York City, brings to light an inter
esting relic and letter pertaining to
the passing and funeral of the great
warrior and former President. Wes-
ley Fisher, a prominent merchant of
Allison Hill, has in his possession a
letter written him by his friend,
Stephen Merritt, the undertaken who
had charge of the Grant obsequies,
enclosing a piece of the black drapings
from the funeral car that carried the
body of the famous chieftain to its
last resting place on Riverside Drive.
The letter bears the address of
Stephen Merritt, Sth Avenue and 1st
street, New York, and the date August
IS. and is as follows:
Mr.. Wesley Fisher, Esq,
Harrisburg, Pa,
My dear sir:
Enclosed please find a portion
of the draperies used on the fun
eral car of General U. S. Grant,
which conveyed his body to its
last resting place on Saturday,
August s, 1885.
Very Truly,
Stephen Merritt

Referring to the foregoing letter
Ogden Reid, president of the New
York Tribune, writes the Telegraph
as follows:
You will find enclosed a photo
graphic copy of a letter from Joseph
us Daniels, Secretary OF the Navy,
posal of the Marjorie Sterrett Bat
tleship Fund, for which your paper
received contributions. The plan, in
brief, is to give the interest on the
fund as an annual prize for battle ef-
ficiency in the navy.
100000 Contributors
The number of contributors to the
fund throughout the country is now
nearly 100000 and the total in money
approaches $4,000. While subscrip-
tions continue TO come in to the Tri-
bune and to a number of the other
papers interested, despite the fact that
no active campaign has been waged
for several months, it seems only fair
to those who gave when the call was
still fresh that some definite an
nouncement should be made as to the
disposition of the money.
Sergeant Sterrett, of the Marine
Corps, father of the Brooklyn school
girl, whose letter started the move
ment, suggested the idea of the an
nual prize. Mr.. William F. Keohan
of the Tribune staff, transmitted it
to Secretary Daniels, who Immediate
