Two hundred thousand white men have gone

the only way II can be removed Is by the use OF
a hammer and chiscl. The furnace cannot be
torn down, for its erection caused the outlay OF
tens Of thousands Of dollars. Hence the Inn
mcrse mass Of iron must be chiselled out, chip
by chip, process that will involve the labor OF
months.
The coliseum, (which served 30 noble pur-
pose, must, by inevitable law, be removed. We

mento, every purchaser Of q concert ticket Is en-
titled to fine colored lltbogaphic view Of the
Coliseum building. An additional inducement
Is also offered. making every ticket-holder nm
owner Of an individual interest in the property.
SO every Ncw-Englander who has felt q just pride
in the glorious musical achievements Of the
,"Peacc Jubilee may possess an accurate like
ness OF the grand old Coliseum, and become
part owner in II.
