FAULT FIND1NG.-You have all
heard the story of the painter Of
olden time who exposed his picture
to the public criticism, and put a
paint brush handy that any one
might paint ont any particular
he did not approve. Of course the
stupid man soon found out that
everybody had some fault to find, and
his picture was totally obliterated.
Just as it was with that artists pic
ture, so it is with the life work of
the majority. Somebody will be
pretty sure to take q crooked and
distorted view of our charac ters and
doings, however meritorious they may
be. Some wilfully and maliciously,
others through misunderstanding.

The use of Iodoform or Mercurials
in the treatment of catarrh-whsther
in the form Of suppositories or oint-
ments-should be avoided, as they
are both injurious and dangerous.
1odoform is easily detected by it's Of
fensive odor. The only reliable
catarrh remedy on the market to day
is Ely's Cream Balm, being free from
all poisonous drugs. 1t has cured
thousands of chronic and acute cases,
when all other remedies have failed.
A particle is applied into each nostril;
no pain; agreeable to use. Price fifty
cents; of druggists. ..r.

THERE is no blank so blank as the
blank that appears before man when
he gets up in public assembly and

OWING to its position in WASH
ington, it being the only line running
directly through the city, the B. &
O.'s advantages for the proper and
prompt care of it's patrons for the in.
auguration are wholly unapproached
by competing lines. All the passen-
ger traffic of other lines from the
West must combine with the traffic
from the East, and thus the single
line into the national capital be clog
ged with trains to an enormous ex-
tent. The B. & o. handles its busi-
ness from the East wholly independ-
ent from Its business from the West,
the channels of entrance into the city
being different, and for all purposes
in view the Baltimore and Ohio
really has two lines into the capital,
one from the West and the other
from the East.

The B. & O. never did think
half loaf better than no loaf, when 1t
comes to meeting the demands of the
public upon occasions whom a re-
duction of rates is in order. Some
other lines evidently 60 upon the
contrary principle, and, when they
make reduction of fares, add such
stlpulations as to prove the action one
Of compulsion rather than ofpleasure.
In other words, the low rate with
them is good only upon certain
trains, not fast trains. Thus it comes
about that only the B. & O., Of the
line running limited express trains
to Washington, accepts the inaugura-
ton tickets upon such trains.

The B. & 0. is, in every essential,
an American road, ever viewing the
proper functions of an American rail-
way to give the most for the least
money. In other words, the affecta-
ton of excluslveness not a valid ex-
cuse for doubling demands in the
shape of extra fares, and that sort Of
thing. To go to the inauguration via
the B. & 0. means to have money
enough left to pay expenses, and q
little more. Also, that the passen-
ger, upon arrival at the depot, in
time for any train, will find his ticket
good for that train. Upon some
other roads it will be found different.
