Reasons Why All Should Use the
Reacti0nary Health Lift.

1t makes strong appeals to the common sense of
every man or woman in every walk of life. 1t
furnishes exercise which may and should be in
trOduced into every house; which may be practiced
at ali seasons in all kinds Of weather, by persons of
both sexes, all ages and degrees OF strength or
weakness alone or in company. No one can say too
much in praise of it, and no one can afford to do
and consider it invaluable and indispensable. 1t is
the safest, simplest, cheapest and most efficient
medicine ever discovered. No claim is set up tor il
which is unscieDtific or impracticable.
Geuerah-lt Is the best of rest. 1t is perfectly
safe No harm ever came from its use Ii strains
to the affected parts By its use the health is easily
maintained. The purchase OF Reactionary Litter
is the best kind of economy. The convenience of
having one in the house is very great.
Mind and Brain. - 1t inyig0rates and
strengthens the bran and renders il more active
and efficient in all its operations
sleep.-It rs the simplest and safest narcotic. 1t
is the most natural and probably the best means of
inducing sound and refreshing sleep.
Nerves.-It is a wonderful tonic to the VIII ole
nervous system. 1t is most eficaeious remedy in
paralysis, if taken in time.
Lungs, Throat aud VOice.-It gives special
expansion and greater mobility to the chest; en-
ton, and brings the voice more fully under control
As preventive and cure OF lung diseases it has no
equal.
Exercise-It is the most perfect exercise for man
woman, furnishing the best form of physical
culture and development in the safest, easiest
most thorough and expeditions manner. 1t is
better than the gymnasium, and tree from Its
than boating, and infinitely better than drugs in
majority of chronic Diseases 1t rounds aud hardens
the muscles, and educates them into ever ready
faithful and efficient servants of the will.

Notwithstanding the fierce storm last night
quite large audience assembled at the First
Baptist church at the second of the services
held by Mr.. Needham. Meeting opened with
hymns No. 5, ''Draw me nearer" and No. Go,
sHslleluiah tits done." After some remarks
and prayer by Mr.. Needham. Mr.. Cato sung
solo entitled, 81 found friend, oh sach
friend.''
Mr. Needham said that there are three pab-
licans mentioned 10 the Bible. The first is
found in the 9Th chapter of Luke, 9th verse.
He said that Levi or Matthew was man of
business and gave up his business to follow
Christ 1t does not follow that Christ requires
every business man to leave his business and
preach; he can be saved as we'll in buying and
selling as in preaching, but one must be pre-
pared to let everything go that stands between
us and Christ. The Saviour had kindly in
tentions toward Matthew and he wanted him
to give up his business in order to give him
larger blessings. He never asks us to give him
anything but what he gives in return q thous-
such command as he gave Matthew. He
requires sacrifice from his followers. He
wants US to walk in the line of HIS wishes
Follow me, not churches, popes, bishops or
others, but follow Christ Notice Matthew's
response. He promptly left all and followed
purpose toward him, go he followed st once
God requires OF us promp5 obedience.
Mr.. Needham briefly referred to the other
publicans mentioned in the Scriptures found in
Luke IS, and 10. and the meeting was then
turned into meeting for prayer for the work
in our city, and after sol, By Mr.. Cato and a
cloiog hymu the meeting was dismissed.

Observance of washington. Birthday.


The weather yesterday was not very auspic-
ious for celebration and although it was
legal holiday but little was made of it. Tie
post office and custom house were only open
holiday hours while the banks were entirely
closed. The city and county offices we're about
half of them open. The stores were open all
day as usual. A flag was displayed from the
dome of the City Building telling that it was a
celebration day. The small boys were out in
full force blowing their horns Justify early in
the day bat later as the storm came on they
took shelter in doorways and there kept up
their never ceasing toot until their wiad was
exhausted when they retired to prepare for the
tar bucket. exercises of the evening. When
our police succeeded in suppressing the deafen-
ing sounds the night preceding tho 4th of July,
they did great thing; now when they stop the
unearthly noise kept up by the boys on the ap-
niversary of the birth of the Father Of his
Country a still greater thing will be accom-
plished Let all hope for just such an event
Toe weather throughout the day was disa-
greeabls in the extreme. 1t rained and hailed
alternately and to add to the discomfort a
strong easterly wiud prevailed. There were no

During the evening the rain poured in torrents
and it was thoguht that all ideas of tar buckets
would bs given up bat those who rekconed so
did not count on the high spirits of Young
America for there probably never was fine
display of bon fires on the evening of the 22d,
in this city. Cumberland street was perfect
blaze from Washington street to High street,
while other localities were well supplied. The
usual fine blaze was seen 10 front of the hook
and ladder house on Market street. Several
other fire companies had large fires.
Notwithstanding the storm was one of the
severest of the season the Mechanic Blues had
a good attendance at their masquerade. Many
were detained, owing to the storm, who had
secured their costumes and tickets aud conse
