the mediums should pay license. The medi-

ingham's whitewashing report on the New
York Custom House, say that Spirtualism is
a religion; that sednces are religious exercises
and that the admission fees exacted of visitors
are OF the same nature as collections taken up
in churches. Therefore they protest against
being classed with showmen, and refuse to
pay any license.

SIXTEEN YEARS OF Successful 1896
the now famous Mustang Liniment was
first made known to the public by an
extensive system of advertising. From
that time to the present, the demand
for it hiss been steadily increasing until
it has taken the lead of all embroca-
tons, lotions, ointments and other ex-
ternal remedies, imported or domestic,
ever introduced into the American
market. In the most celebrated racing
and trotting stables, in the establish
ments OF stage and city car companies,
and in the stables Of private gentlemen,
it is the only recognized cure for such
diseases of the horse as require outward
treatment. Nor is it less valuable as a
local application for some of the most
distressing complaints to which man Is
subject. Rheumatism, stiffness of the
Joints, neuralgia, sore throat, tumors
wens, earache, toothache, yield to its
pain-subduing, counter-irritant proper
ties, and burns, scalds and cuts are
healed with incredible rapidity under
its operation.

existence of the lease, he went to Mr.
Jacobs house and demanded to see it
On getting sight OF it he snatched ii
from Mr.. Jacob and tore it up. AS the
latter attempted to stop him Straut
struck him pretty severe blow in the
face. The justice required Straub to
give bail in the sum of $500 to answer
the charge Of larceny before the Circuit
Court. Failing to give the required
security he was sent to jail.

A SYNONYM OF EXcELLENcE.-"What
can our feeble pen add to the reputation
Of the Steinways? Their music has
become a household word. Their
Pianos are to be found in every city, in
every State, and we'll nigh in every
county. To them, more than to any
other firm, is American art indebted fol
it's reputation abroad. The Steinway
Piano is now a synonym for all that is
desirable and durable in the art, and as
such it ought to occupy pre-eminence in
the minds of purchasers" So saws one
of our Eastern exchanges. We can say
that the Steinways have pre-eminence
in the minds of our citizens, to judge
by the numbers that are sold by our
enterprising music dealer, V. Harding
No. 100 Market street, who always
keeps a fine stock of those choice IN

caused by the partial burning of the
weather boarding Of part of a double
frame house on the alley bounded by
Zane and John and Seventh and Eighth
streets, formerly occupied by Mrs. Elz-
abeth Stein, butlnow vacant. The fire
was the work of an incendiary. He had

The MAxoy LIFTING JAcK.-We have
had occasion before to allude to this
greatly superior jack. 1t has no equal
in the world for any purpose for which
jack is needed. 1t is coming into
great favor with our foundrymen, rail-
wsymen, boatmen and others who have
heavy bodies to lift, and it must be
more and more popular as it becomes
more widely known. All who need an
instrument Of the kind are invited to
call on the agent George W. Ma1on'
at Chas. Berry's rope and cordage store,
Water street, near the Keim House,
and examine it.
