 The announcement of the death of Mrs. Mary O'Brien, wife of Corporation Counsel Driscoll, which occurred yesterday noon, will come with deep sense of sorrow to many

She was also niece of the late Bishop Foley of Chicago. She was educated in convent at Emmetsburg, Mary land. In 1877 she was united in marriage to MT. O. T.

SCROFULA.

A RE you aware that in your blood the 1A- taint of scrofula has prominent place? This is true of every one. It is lia- ble at any time, on the slightest provoeation. to develop itself ip some insidious disease. Consumption and many other diseases are outgrcwths of this inpurity of the blood: HoOD'S SARaAPARILLA has a wonderful power over all scrofulous troubles, as the re- markable testimonials we have received unMlstakably prove.

:Ihe Portable Electric Lighter.

At last we can have the electric light
where it can do the most good. That
is to say We can put it now on our desks,
on our tables, on rmantel pieces, any
where in fact where clear, bright, safe
light is wanted. The Portable Elec-
trio Lighter, patented in 1879 and again
in 1882, is now before us, and we look
at it with surprise and happiness. Sur
prise, because it is evident how great
progress we have made in the science of
electricity; happiness, because it gives
us a clearer, better. more movable light
than any we have ever enjoyed.-Here
is lamp, SO called, occupying only the
space of five square inches, which can
be carried anywhere, aud is besides an
ornament. By simply pressing upon the
knob to the full extsnt of the spring,
(Which connects with the battery,) an
electric current is produced by wich the
spiral of platinum is heated to incandes-
cence and the light is instantaneous.
The material lasts about two months
and can then be renewed at small cost
through any chemist. 1t will not be
long before everybody will have Port
able Electric Lighter. The price, SIS,
is so low that it cannot fail to become
popular at once. The principal office
is at % Water Street, Boston, where all
applications for this most novel lamp
should be sent. - N. z. Real Estate
