That Set Vibrating the Emotions of the Great Audience. |THE STORY OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN As Told in the Grap! Mr. Moody. Style ot MR. SANKEY’S SINGING ‘The usual tremendous throng besieged Convention Hall last night. There were erough folks gathered at the portals at 6:30 to fill the seats on the main floor, and when the doors were opened there was a surg- ing rush. By the time the confusion of the first rush had subsided there had been enough arrivals to fill the gallery seats as well. So, by 7 o'clock every seat in the hall had been taken and the doors were closed promptly as soon as this fact was ascertained. There was nothing more to do but to wait for the chorus seats to fill up, and in five minutes enough of the singers had ar- rived to enable Leader Foster to swing his baton and for the third time the grand vol- ume of sound swelled over the heads of the thousands that had assembled to hear the great evangelists. Regan Ahead of Time, So prompt was the crowd and chorus that Mr. Moody decided to open the meet- ing at 7:2v, instead of waiting for the usual hour. He is a man who knows the value of time, and who does not believe in wasting any of it. He announced the first hymn, which was sung by the chorus and audience standing, and then the first prayer was of- fered by Rev. Dr. Easton of the Eastern Presbyterian Church.

At this the cor-| jmet player tooted so persistently on one ii Rote that the next verse was sung on something near the right key. Mr. Sankey Sings Again. Mr. Moody then read a few verses from the tenth chapter of Luke, including the story of the Good Samaritan, and was fol- lowed by Mr. Sankey, who sang “Eternal,” number 187 In the book. After this he left the hall for the overflow meeting at the Assembly Church. The “Hallelujah,” num- ber 135, of the choir, which came next, was sung in excellent style and wiped out the unpleasant memory of the other hymn. | “There will be no meetings tomorrow,” announced Mr. Moody. “On Sunday there will be a meeting for the women at 3 , o'clock in the afternoon and one for the jmen at 7:30 In the evening. We have no | different gospels for the men and the wo- |men, but we want to reach just twice as many people by holding two meetings. “Now let me thank those who have at- tended on the three evenings. They have paid the most perfect attention and have been very quiet. I have spoken in many different halls, but never before have I | spoken in one 300 feet long, with one-third lof the audience behind me. Yet I guess I have been heard. I generally talk pretty fast, but I am trying to be slow here in Washington. If 1 could only send out one word at a time, on stilts, it would be all right. But I guess we shall get along. | Dr. Hamlin then asked the “workers” to meet the committee after the services, for a few words as to their duties and their work in’ the coming week. Mr. Moody's Talk. Mr. Moody gave out hymn ‘39 for the au- dience to get Warmed up on, and had them | sing it two or three times, with and with- out the choir, and when he had got them ni-ely started he began his talk. He took for his text the passage he had read from | the Scriptures, and addressed himself to the subject of “Good Samaritanism.” He drew his audience nearer to him Gian at any time in the previous meetings, and devel- oped his wonderful power to get hold of the hearts of his hearers. Before he had finished there were tears in the eyes of more than half of those in the great hall. Dr. Bartlett and Justice Ha In continuation of his talk of the by = before, he added two qualifications to his ist of thore that should be held by effic- tent Christian workers—love and sympathy. Love for the work, he said, is absolutely necessary. No man or woman can be su cessful without it. No one is going to suc- ceed who goes at his Christian or church work from 4 cold sense of duty# Clams in Pews. “Pew holders in a church are prone to esk of a candidate for their pulpit: ‘Will he draw? What we want is some pew holders that will draw. Put a clam in each end of the pew and Gabriel himself would not draw religion into the hearts of those who sit between them. There is only one Samaritan to every 10,000 priests, such as the one described in the verses I have read, and one to every 100,000 Levites. It is a good deal easier for you to get into the shoes of that priest or that Levite than in- to those of the Samaritan, and you've got to watch yourself mighty close, or you'll get there. I've been there myself pretty often.” Mr. Moody then, with humor and force and earnestness, told his version of the story of the Samaritan, how the priest did not want to help the Jew, because he did not belong in his parish. The priest did not have any sympathy. His religion was all in his head, and had not yet struck | down into his heart. “T sometimes think we are almost cursed with religion. We've got too mucn of it, | 2¢ that head kind.” | The Levite he thought must have passed | along saying that it really was a pity that | there should be such robberies and out- | i rages committed on the highway from Jeru- salem to Jericho, and he would try to get someone to see Pilate and ask him to ap- point some more soldiers to guard the road. | belong to? | She will never forget it. | Ing he w Or perhaps he would get a bill passed pro- hibiting the robbing of travelers on that i Mr, Sankey Sim “Have you got any such men in Wash- ington,” he asked, “who are eternally go- ing to regulate the affairs of all the uni- verse by bills? I presume that Levite went on to tell Rimself that as soon as he got home he would organize a ‘committee to look after wounded Jews between Jerusa- lem and Jericho.’ That would sound well in print. The Hon. Mr. Levi would be chairman, and all the wealthy men in Jeru- salem would be subscribing or honorary members. That's the kind of charity the Levite would give. Genuine Sympathy. “What that Jew wanted just then was water, water, water, and salve for his wounds. The Samaritan knew it. He had human sympathy. The Jews hated the Samaritans, but that didn’t make any dif- ference. There was a suffering man, and all men could suffer, Jew or Samaritan. The Jews wouldn't even sell or buy of a Samaritan, and when e Jew won't sell or buy a thing he thinks it is pretty well nigh worthless. But that didn’t make any dif- ference with the Samaritan. “You all know a Good Samaritan when} you see him. You can see his character in his eyes and his open, kindly face. There is no mistaking him. There is the kind of men who will call out to the boys with their sleds on a winter’s day: ‘Hitch on, boys!’ That is the Good Samaritan kind. Then there is the kind that cuts behind with a whip. That is some other kind. know what to call them. Which side do you Come, decide now. Hitch on, or cut behind! Come, divide the audience. There are two ways, and you must take your pick. “You can be a Good Samaritan every day of your lives if you want to. Suppose that some = you send your washerwoman out for a ride in your carriage while you stay at her home and take care of her babies for her. Give her a little glimpse of happin2ss. Neither will God. Go down to her hovel next Sunday aft noon and send her up to your pew in your fashionable church, and tell her to make herself at home there, while you keep house for her. I tell you if we had a few real Good Samaritans in our churches we would have no trouble in reaching the masses that we hear so much about. We are good hearers here in America. What we want -3 a few good doers.” One of Moody's Stories. Then Mr. Moody began to work himself into’ the hearts of his hearers. He told them @ story of a Glasgow merchant who had reformed one of his hands who had the drink habit, by going down to his home| every Saturday afternoon and staying with him, and walking with him, until the weekly thirst for liquor was gone. He had done this for months, and had finally brought the man up into the better and higher path. That, he said, was real Samaritanism. He next told a little bit of his own history that brought forth the tears from the eyes of those in front of him. He spoke of his earliest misfortune, when his father became bankrupt and then died, and his brother had to go to the county seat to find work, and later his brother came home and told him he had work for him, too. He did not waut to go, but his mother encouraged him to | get a glimpse of the world, to prepare him for the later struggle. And so he went, and he was terribly homesick. - The first even- ready to go back home, but his brother took him walking, and soon they met an old man whose face lighted up his heart. “Do you see that man?" asked the brother. “Well, that man gives a penny to every new boy who comes to town. You see if he — “ty give you one.” nd sure enough, the old entleman noticed the lad, and put his hand on hi head, and talked to him for about five min- utes in such a kindly, gentle, sympathetic way that all the homesick feeling went from him, and the penny-that he put in his palm later looked bigger than any money he had ever owned since. That was tke first Good Samaritan he had ever met. The Spenker's Emotion. The evangelist's voice broke as he repeat- ed his boyish heartaches, and hopes end happiness, and quickly he passed to another phase of his own experience, to show that in order to have love and sympathy one must get into the place of the other. He spoke of his pastorate in Chicago, one summer, when the poor were dying by hundreds, and he had to attend to funerals in such number that he became hardened. One day there came the word that one of his Sunday school puplis, a little girl, had been drowned. When he talked to the mother there wi nothing in his heart. He was used to the tales of suffering, poverty, wretchedness that met his ears each day. But suddenly the thought came to him that his own little daughter might have been the drowned sirl, and his heart was touched, and he was conscience stricken. He knelt down with the mother and prayed with her, and told her to be comforted, and he felt the better for it. There was a solemn silence in the hall when Mr. Moody had finished. Men and women were crying silently. He had seach: ed them at last, and his foundation was laid. He heid up his hands for a minute of prayer, and then dismissed the audience with a brief benediction, while the choir sang a glorious hymn. The Overflow Meeting. The overflow meeting last night was held at Assembly Church, which was crowded to the doors soon after the word had been passed to the entrance of Convention Hall, Rev. Dr. Todd of Hamline Church and Dr. Little of Assembly had charge. Dr. Toda opened the meeting, speaking of the young penitent who sought Christ for salvation. When Mr. Todd had finished his talk Mr. Sankey, who had meantime arrived, took the platform and sang two solos, the first “The Writing on the Wall” and the second | “Oh, the Clanging Bells,” giving before each a litt'e prelimnary talk on the nature of the hymns and the circumstances under which they were written. Upon the retirement of Mr. Sankey Mr. Little took up the sermon where Mr. Todd had left off. The Afternoon Meeting. Yesterday afternoon at the Congrega- tional Church Mr. Sankey, after prayer by Dr. Todd, sang “When the Mists Have Rolled Away,” and afterward the audience sang “His Ain Countree. Mr. Moody preached about the elements in prayer, in continuation of his preceding afternoon talk. The sixth element, he said, was for- giveness. What a door is to a house for- giveness is to salvation, When persons are in doubt and difficulties it does them good to talk over their troubles with some one of experience. But they have to be the final judges of when they are saved— The seventh element, he said, was faith, which was the key to all the treasures of heaven. “That,” said the speaker, “was the power, the letter of credit that carried Christ on all his earthly mission. That was the check that he cashed in the pure gold of heaven, cashed at sight, with no thirty days’ margin and three days of grace. “The eighth essential of prayer is per- sistence. God encourages persistence. He likes it. In that He is not like the most of us. Yet He says that men ought always ‘to pray and faint not.’ ‘The ninth essential bof amg There are a good many prayers that are nothing but orations. They tell God how great He is and how good and wonderful, but they don’t ask anything. I don’t see how some of these people can get up and pray for 1f an hour at a time. The shortest pray- irs in the Bible are the ones that bring the quickest answers. Suppose Peter, when he was sinking in the waves, had tried to put such a preamble on his prayers these long-winded preachers do. He would have been forty feet under water before he got started. He just said: ‘Lord, save me, or I perish,’ and he was saved. “And the last essential is submission. We must learn to say: ‘Thy will be done.’ There are lots of people who are not will- ing to submit themselves to the Lord's will and they pray fervently for their own way when they ought to pray for the Lord’ Cheapest and besi—Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup.

LOCAL MILITARY GOSSIP ee: If Gen. George W. Wingate, “the father of American military rifle practice,” can only succeed in 80 arousing the competi- tive sentiment in the United States army as to bring about competition between the regular troops and the National Guard he will add materially to the debt which this country owes him and which it has never attempted to pay. Gen. Wingate discusses the present situation at consid- erable length in the Journal of the Military Service Institution, and says, in part: “It is true that the army has established com- petitions and has trained its soldiers to shoot, and to shoot very well. It also in- troduced skirmishing, which was a new departure, and in the western states and on the Pacific coast it has done considerable toward advancing rifle practice among the National Guard, and consequently among the people. In the east, on the other hand, its influence for a few years has been dis- uUnetly adverse, and has done military rifle practice serious injury. For a num- ber of years the army sent teams to com- | pete for the “Hilton trophy’ at Creedmoor, and their members shot in the individual matches. The idea of shooting against these teams attracted the representatives | from the National Guard from «a number general rivalry, and therefore of public interest. After being beaten for a number of years the army at last attained suffi- cient skill to win the ‘trophy’ several years in succession. After having done t they stopped, and since then they have not only not sent teams for this trophy, | the competition for which was established by Major Gen. W. S. Hancock, but do not even condescend to send an officer or single man out of all the troops in the vicinity of New York to shoot in the match- es of New Jersey Association and National Rifle Association, at Sea Girt. “according to sporting laws a man may quit at pleasure provided he ‘quits a loser,’ but +o long as he is the winner and claims by virtue of being such winner to hold the championship he is bound to submit his claims to such championship to compe- tition. Scores by which the army teams have won this trophy have since been beat- en by National Guard teams, which ends the idea of championship or even of su- perior skill. The result of the army's not appearing is (as was stated by the Army and | Navy Journal in its editorial of Septem- |ber 2, 1893) that the National Guard of | the states are inclined to think the con- test is not worth while for them to en- gage in. This argument is that if the com- petitions were valuable in the military sense the army as professional! would make a point at any sacrifice to partici- pate. As they not only do not participate, but do not even send an officer to observe the shooting, It therefore follows that they are not valuable, and if not valuable enough to induce professional soldiers, who shave all the tlme there is’ to compete, why should Nation! Guardsmen, who give their time, leave their business, and make the personal sacrifices that are necessary in order to participate in the matches? And further, ite state team does not shoot for the ‘Hilton trophy’ why should regimental teams be organized to shoot for state trophies, and the logical conclusion is ‘what is the use of rifle practice anyway?’ “At the matches at Sea Girt on August 25 the governor of New Jersey and all the leading officers of the state were present, nearly all of whom, including the gov- ernor, personally shot in the individual matches. There was no commissioned offi- cer or private present from the army and there was but one competitor from the states of New York and Pennsylvania. If the army had given it to be understood that they would be represented, there would have been fifty men from each. The ex- cuses which had been made in the past in regard to sending teams to Creedmoor had no application to Sea Girt. The ranges, camping ground, tents, including camp equipage, were placed at the disposal of all of the competitors and nothing was spared to make them comfortable. If, for some unknown reason, transportation from Governor's Island could not have been ob- ined, an enthusiastic officer who con- sidered the practice valuable might have marched his men down there, and in so doing given them a valuable experience and demonstrated to the country the value the army placed upon military competitive rifle practice. As it is, the lesson which is to be derived is that the army, or rather the army of the east, attaches no value to it. “I do not make any reference to the talk which Is common in National Guard circles, that the army does not compete because it is afraid it will Icse, because I have too righ an opinion of its skill. it, however, to the idea which appears to be so prevalent among army circles in the east more than the west of rezardins then- selves as a select class, wishing to do every- thing in their own grounds, in their own way, and aloof from a!l outsiders, ar idea which is fatal to any attempt to utile their profess sual skill toward advancing the general rallitary strensth of the coun- iry.”” - A Local Rifle Association. Aspiring riflemen gather in the brigade rifle gallery as flies cluster around a leak in a hogshead of molasses and are getting persistent of these sharpshooters and marksmen having reached top figures, have, however, been looking around for other worlds to conquer, and are about to be gratified if a sufficient number will become members of a prospective organization to be known as the Rifle Association of the District National Guard. The tentative | proposition is to set apart one night in each week when the brigade gallery shall be in the possession of the association and when such competitions as shall be arranged by the association will be shot. Prizes of the sweepstakes variety are contemplated and, taken altogether, the plan is most attract- ive. When the summer and autumn months are here the meetings will be held on the range tnstead of in the gallery. All officers and enlisted men in the District National Guard are eligible to membership, and as the fee for the season is to be but fifty cents, a total membership of four or five hundred is not regarded as an unrea- sonable estimate. Probably not more than 20 per cent of the association membership would be continuously interested in the weekly shoots, but the plan is favorably regarded by all who have heard of it, and will, if properly supported, work most ad- vantageously for the rifle practice of the brigade. All scores made at a meeting of the association may be recorded if the per- sons making them so desire. The organi- zation will doubtless be completed at the next meeting of the department of rifle practice, which will be held at the gallery on the evening of the 26th instant. Wants Another Opportunity. Maj. Gilbert Thompson is good-humoredly dissatisfied. He was away out in Tennes- see when the sixth battalion team got away with the engineer sharpshooters and was considerably surprised—not, perhaps, at his team being defeated, but at the extremely low scores made by both aggregations. His principal idea in issuing the challenge was to have the present team record in the gai- lery broken, and as that was not done, he will ask Maj. Bartlett to renew the contest. If Maj. Bartlett accedes (and there seems to be no reason for supposing he will do otherwise), the second competition will take place either at the latter end of this month or as early as possible in March. = After 25 Years Physiciansand specialists sand 8 it being Tenefiteds and I tried Temedies, wii SWIFT SPECIFIC CO.

The more | gineers will thus have two hard shoots on hand, for their challenge for a team match at 300 yards has been accepted by the fourth battalion. If the engineers are willing, it may easily be that both efforts will come off during the same evening. Notes. Official practice in the brigade gallery during the coming week will be as foliows: Monday—Company A, first separate bat- talion. Tuesday—Company A, fourth battalion. Wednesday—Company B, sixth battalion. Thursday—Company D, second battalion. Friday—Company D, fifth battalion, Saturday—Company second battalion. The second separate company (cyclists) at their regular monthly meeting on Thursday last elected five new members to the active ist and decided to attend the fair of the Georgetown Cycle Club in a body on Thurs- day, the 15th instant. The bugle corps will parade on this occasion. The company has entered into active competition for the ban- ner offered for the most popular cycling association, and Capt. Story is confident that his boys will carry off the prize. Mounted drills will be resumed on March 1. All members of the second regiment, offi- cers or men, who would like to join a regi- mental glee club are requested to attend a meeting for preliminary organization at regimental headquarters in the Center Mar- ket armory on Wednesday. February 14, at 8 o'clock p.m. Those who cannot attend should give their names to First Sergt. Roberts, company D, fourth battalion; Maj. Suess, fifth battalion, or Surg20n Wood- man, sixth battalion. The annual report of Capt. W. L. Cash, inspector of rifle practice, first regiment— | delayed considerably by faulty reports from company commanders and by the indisposi- Uon from more or less since his serious illness, which commenced at Sea Girt in August last—has | been received at brigade headquarters. The report is an admirable document in every respect, covering the ground thoroughiy in all essential particulars. Troop A’s pistol squad was in the light battery's gallery on Thursday evening, and made the following scores: Lieut. Meilach, 23, 28-46; Sergt. Conrad, 18, 18-86; Sergt 21-43; Sergt.

Every Wednesday afternoon from 4 to 6 finds him in the brigade gallery ready to meet and encourage any of the members of the two companies that are within his jurisdiction. a IN MR. GROW’S BEHALF. an Campaign in ph! A republican mass meeting was held last evening ‘in the Academy of Masic, at Phil- adelphia, that filled the building from or- chestra to top gallery with a crowd of en- thusiastic believers in the doctrines of the party, and hundreds surged around the jentrance doors unable to gain admittance. The attraction that ‘drew so many people to the meeting was, undoubtedly, the an- nourcement in the list of speakers of the name of Congressman Thomas B. Reed of Maine. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Union League Club, and its object was the dual one of opening in Phil- adelphia the campaign of Galusha A. Grow, |Fepublican candidate for Congressman-at- large, and to enunciate anew the policy of Protection as opposed to that of tariff re- form. ‘The meeting was presided over by Colonel A. Loudon Snowden, ex-minister to Greece ang Spain, and the first speaker was Mr. Grow, Mr. Grow’s speeach was a defense of re- publican principies, and an arraignment of the doctrines of democracy. Mr. Grow poke but a short time, and expressed him- self as confident of election and a big ma- jority at the coming election, on the 20th of the month. Col. Snowden then introduced Mr. Reed. As the Maine Congressman came down to the edge of the stage the entire house rose, ®~ 1 for five minutes every man in the audi- jence seemed to be trying to cheer louder than his neighbor. Finally, Mr. Reed was compelled to raise his hand in expostula- tion, and, after some spasmodic cheering from those that had some breath left; quiet wi obtained. Mr. Reed spoke for three- quarters of an hour, and his dry humor and sarcasms at the expense of democracy and its leaders were heartily appreciated by his republican audience. ——-+e+—_____ NEW YORK JOCKEY CLUR, Formal Organization of the New Turf Society.

COSMETICS DO BUT OFTEN DESTROY A HEALTHY CoM- PLEXION, Kate Field bas made the remarkable sfatement that the enormous sum of $62,000,000 are spent every year by American women for cosmetics, face powders, washes of all kinds, most of whi are made of oxide of zine, corrosive sublimate and other poisonous substences which, instead of beautifying the complexion, destroy even a healthy skin, A natural rosy and healthy complexion can | mot be had by the use of these cosmetics, but only through the health of the body in zencral, and nothing is better to secure this result than the genuine imported Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, when | taken early tm the morning before breakfast (about & small teaspoonful, dissolved in a tumblerful of water). The remarkatle merit of this salt, which ts | produced by the city of Carlsbad by the evapora- | tion of the Carlsbad Sprudel water, has been known to the civilized world fo: centuries, It has achfeved its unapproachable repu- tation and retains it wholly on its merits. It is a natural remedy that is ulways effective in all disorders of the stomach, Iver and kidneys. For habitual constipation, gouty and rheumatic afftee- tions {t is without equal. It clears the complex- tor and produces a healthy color. Be sure to ob- tain the genuine article, which has the signature of “Eisner & Mendelson Co., Agents, N. Y.."" on every bottle.

Some of the colored democrats in this city believe that Mr. Chas. H. J. Taylor, who was recently nominated by the Presi- dent to be minister to Bolivia, and who failed of confirmation by the Senate, will be given the position of recorder of deeds of | this District. } Mr. Taylor, it is said, has secured signa- | tures to a monster petition for the re-| cordership, which will be presented to the, President in due time. | | According to the statement going around | among the colored democrats, Mr. Taylor | had a recent interview with the President, | and had been given the choice of two places, the Haitian mission and the re- cordership of deeds, and had decided to accept the latter place, as he does not wish | to go out of the country | Another report which has caused con- siderable talk among the colored residents of Washington is that Dr. D. H. William: @ prominent negro physician of Chicago, has been summoned to Washington by Secretary Smith of the Interior to receive his commission as chief of the Freedman’s Hospital. In connection with this report it is also stated that the minister to Haiti under | Mr. Cleveland’s former administration, J. | E. W. Thompson of New York, who is also a physician, will be appointed to the place now held by Dr. Furman J. Shadd, who is Dr. Purvis’ assistant. Mr. B. K. Bruce, it is alleged, has quietly opposed Dr. Purvis, and has used his influence to secure Purvis’ place for his family physi- cian, Dr. J. R. Francis. The place now held by Dr. Purvis is regarded as a very honorable position by the colored politi- cians, though it is not supposed to come within the purview of politics of any kind. The surgeon in chief has almost unlimited power, and has also about forty or fifty places at his disposal—such as nurses, watchmen and laborers. geon in charge, despite the fact that hi is not a political office, has to examine his fences very carefully to ascertain where he is “at.” A prominent colored republican of this city, who is personally friendly to the President, recently addressed him a letter in behalf of Dr. Purvis, urging his retention in his present place, giving a: reason therefor his peculiar adaptability and fitness as a physician ind surgeon for the work he fs now performing so satisfac- torily. The President is said to have re- plied to this letter in a manner which would seem to indicate that the statements concerning Dr. Williams’ appointment to this place are not well grounded. _ To Replace Naval Stores. ‘The Secretary of the Navy requests Con- gress to appropriate $40,000 to replace en gineering stores destroyed by fire at the | Norfolk navy yard last December. i +2. _____<_ The Old, 6 From Harper's Bazar. ‘There had been a death in the family,and two of the members were discussing the ar- Story. | rangements. “I suppose we had better have the funeral on Thursday,” said one. “Oh, we can’t,” replied the other, without thinking; “that is Bridget’s day out.” PERSEVERANCE AND GRIT" After Ten Ye of Misery, Grifin, of Lincoln Centre, Mate, Cured by the Use of a Simple Rem- | edy—His Glowing Words of Grateful ness—Many Others Benefited by the Same Means. LINCOLN CENTER, Me.—“I thank Goa ‘that I used Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Retoedy.” Such were the words of Asa T. Griffin of this place, and any one acquainted with the benefit he derived from {ts use, knows that he bas great rexson to feel thankful. The history of Mr, Grif- fin's case is of so much interest that your corre- syondent obtained full particulars. “For ten years past,” to use Mr. Griffin's own words, “I have suffered with constent pain in my back, which was brought about by a diseased con- dition of my kidneys. The suffering I endured at tines is beyond words. I doctored and took manner of medifines, but to no purpose. I began to be despondent for haying was coming on and I Wanted to get to work. One day I was reading of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, and I told my wife I would try it, and I am thankfel that I did so. I bad used it but a short while when the pain disappeared: and T then started in and worked all through haying and helped to get in twenty-three acres of grain, and am feeling better than I have for rears. My wife, who has also taken Favorite Remedy for the sickness women are usn- ally troubled witb, bas induced many others to try this valuable medicine. and in every case it has cured, where a cure was possible.” One of oar local physicians recently said: “Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy has cured more people of dyspep- sia, rheumatism, Kidney, liver and urinary troubles and wowen who are suffering from illness peculiar |to their sex, than any known treatment. ‘The | great value of Favorite Remedy lies in the fact that it dissolves the excess of uric acid tm the Dlood, expels it from the system, thus curing the disease."” In diabetes, Bright's disease and gravel, it hai cured where all else fatled.

The record for highest run, the anchor shot barred, was made by Schaefer, after @ series of matchless billiards. In the ninth inning, after getting the balls under full control, he kept them clicking until he had 125 to his credit. His beautiful display of skill was heartily applauded, but when in the next inning he multiplied numbers till he reached 271 the enthusiasm of the spec- tators knew no bounds.
