Trying to do business without advertis- ing," remarks an exchange, ''is like winking at girl in the dark. You may know what you are doing, but nobody else does." Trying to cure Catarrh by the use of snuffs and irri- tating liquid injections is the height of folly also. The disease will never be cured by such treatment. Moreover, the delicate lining membranes of the nasal organs will, sooner or ater, become infamed and diseased by such irritants. Ely's Cream Balm is not snuff or liquid, and is easily applied. It's effects of catarrh or cold in the head can withstand it's effects. q could scarcely speak," says J. o. Tehenor, dealer in boots and shoes. Eliz- abeth, N.

A New Railroad Bill.

A Measure Reported Authorizing she
 Consolidation of Continuous Lines, in
 the Interest Of the Hartford and Har-
 lem.
 The Railroad committee reported to the House yesterday a bill which will, if passed, enable the Hartford and Harlem road, or in fact any other road organized under the rail road law, to consolidate with connecting roads in other States. It specifics that any railroad company incorporated under the general railroad law of this State may con- solidate it's capital stock, franchises and
 property with that of any other incor-
 porated railroad company whose line of road, built or to be built, is situated out
 side this State, whenever the railroads of the companies thus consolidating form one continuous line of road from some point in
 this State to some point in an adjoining State, provided that no companies shall thus consolidate if at the time of their consolida tion the aggregated outstanding bonds of the companies exceed one half of what has been actually expended upon their roads. The amount of the outstanding bonds is to be as certained, under oath, as ia the present law, and provided also that no companies shall consolidate under the act whose railroads built or to be built, run on parallel or com peting lines.
 The second section of the bill provides fol the method of consolidation, the joint agree ! ment between the directors for fixing the
 shares, electing officers, etc., but specifies
 that in no case shall the capital stock of the company formed under the consolidation ex ! ceed the sum of the capital stocl of the companies consolidated, at the pal value The bill provides for the issuance ot bonds, both in and out of the State, an6 makes the general restrictions in conforma i tion with the railroad law.
