HOW SOME SPORTING MEN WERE
FOOLED.
A few days ago several well-known sporting
men met with q gentleman Of this city who has a
passion for fast horses but who usually gets them
just fast enough to be beaten. The conversation
naturally turned upon horses and the result of il
was bet Of nifty dollars that q certain grey mare
owned by the gentleman could not trot mile in
Slo and carry two persons Monday was fixed for
goodly gathering of interested spectators at the
PIney Branch track TO witness the trial Senti-
ment was decidedly against the grey mare, and
bets OF two to one, without takers that she would
lose. Judges were chosen, the little animal
brought out hooked to the wagon, the owner and
his friend took their seats, aud the word go' was
given at least twenty men holding their fine STOP
watches over her. Before the first half mile was
made the betters were not SO anxious to give odds
anG at the thTssgGaIter pole they go. nervous
jaws fell; they knew they had lost. The judges
announced the time 8os54. The gentlemen had

DR.. sCHENcK's STANDARD REMEDIES.
The standard remedies for all diseases OF
the lungs are ScHENcK's PULMoNIo SYRUP,
SoHENoK's SEA WEED TONIC and SoHENCK's
MANDRAKE PILLS, and, II taken before the lungs
are DESTROYED, speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines DIR. J. H. Schenck, OF
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment Of pulmonary diseases
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter
in the lungs; nature throws 1t of by an easy ex-
pectoration, for when the phlegm or matter is
ripe q slight cough Will throw It of, the patient
has rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills
act on the liver removing all distractions, relax
the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the
liver Is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic Is q gentle stimu-
liant and Alternative; the alkali, Of which 1t is
composed, mixes with the food and prevents FOUR
ing. 1t assists the digestion by toning up the
stomach to q healthy condition. SO that the food
and the Pulmonic Syrup will make good blood;
then the lungs heal, and the patient will surely
get well If care is taken to prevent fresh cold.
ALI who wish to consult DIR. SCHENCK, either
personally or by letter, do at his principal
ONCE, corner of SIXTH and ARCH STREETS, Phila-
delphia, every Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country. MW&F

The Special Tax on Liquor Selling.

Hon. Lewis Barker, in a speech at the
large temperance meeting in Bangor, Satur-
day evening, said that "he could not harmon-
ize the two positions held by the State and
National governments. The one will not au-
thorze the sale of liquor, and the other takes
a price for authority TO do that which the first
forbids." Mr. Barker evidently has wrong
conception of the law. The National gov
ernment does not grant authority to any one
to sell liquor. 1t simply imposes special
tax upon all who do engage in such business
but by the explicit provisions of the law, the
payment of any special tax is not to be held
or construed to exempt any person carrying
on any trade, business, or profession from any
penalty or punishment therefor provided by
the laws of any State. Nor does the law AZ.
thorize the commencement or continuance OF
any such trade, business, or profession, con-
trary to the laws of any State or in places
prohibited by municipal law. So we don't
see where the conflict is between the State
and National government.
