Could scarcely devise tortures more excruci-

matism, in the infammatory stage is subject
ed. 1t is also dangerous on account of its
tendency towards the heart and stomach.
Among the benign qualities of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, is that Of expelling from the
circulation those acrid impurities to which
the disease is attributable. Analysis proves
that, in cases of rheumatism, the kidneys fail
to eliminate these impurities from the blood
The Bitters, by stimulating these organs to
activity, enables them to perform this all
important function. and, therefore, averts
the disease or remedies it at the outset. The
functions of digestion, and secretion of bile
by the liver, are also BEAUTIFULLY stimulated

The common council room was trans
formed into veritable larder, Yesterday. be-
ing stocked with Christmas dinners for the
poor of the city, and giving evidence that our
citizens possess big hearts, and believe that
charity should begin at home. One long ia
bic was loaded with pies of many varieties,
arrayed in long rows. There we're over one
hundred in all, and the crusts presented .
naky appearance, as though plenty OF short
ening had been used. Another capacious Ia
Ole was burdened with meats, such As hams,
beef, lamb, etc. Several fowls were in the
lot and these went to the sick.
In one corner was generous heap
OF potatoes and in some bins at one side Of
the room was supply Of apples. variety
OF vegetables was also to be found. All these
articles, excepting the meats. had been con-
sributed by citizens. About so in money
was given. and this was devoted to the pur-
chase of bread and meats. The dinners
were distributed yesterday afternoon between
the hours of one and five. Many OF those
who received dinners, were given ticket
which on presentation at the rooms entitled
them to share of the food. Where the
families were large, more f'od was furnished
OF course. than where there were but two or
three persons. 1t was pleasing
sight to witness the scene as the dis
tribution of presents commenced. The
aldermen's room was used as reception
room for those receiving dinners, and the
food was passed out over table standing In
the doorway between the common council
and aldermen's rooms. The faces of the PEG
pie holding tickets was q study. There were
many children among them and their faces
we're often pinched and wan, bearing
the traces of sorrow and trouble. Although
they were stability dressed in many cases,
they we're as a rule clean. As they gathered
around the distribution table, longing, hum
cry eyes peered into the council room where
the Christmas dinners were and the philan-
thropic ladies and gentlemen were busy In
putting up the food. Baskets, boxes, paper
bags, etc, were used in carrying away the
dinners, and one could hardly pass down the
street without meeting these recipients OF the
peoples bounty. Some 200 dinners were
given away in all.

The MikadO.

The performance Of "Mikado," Gilbert &
Sullivans famous opera, at Granite Hall
last evening, was witnessed by large and
brilliant audience, which was not only appre-
ciative, but enthusiastic. demonstrating that
Augusta amusement goers give due credit to
that which possesses genuine merit and are
prepared to patronize it. The scenery was
pretty and in conformity with the character
of the opera, it all having been brought by
the company. The costumes were rich in
color and material and novel in design. The
orchestra was strong one. The soloists
were generally frst>cass and some were very
superior, while the choruses were we'll rem
dered and pleasing in their effect. The
''three little maids" were cute in their alb
surdites and Miss Louise Montague, Fore
paugh's SIC, 1000 beauty, as Yum Yum, ex-
celled. Mr.. Percy J. Cooper was perfection
in the part of Pooh Bah and Mr.. Frear as
Lord High Executioner was ridicuously
funny and made everybody laugh AT one
point in the second act the audience encored
the performers FIVE times and were not then
satisfied. The success of Mikado is due
largely to its corruscsting spectacular effects,
the bright and racy quality of its music and
sublime absurdity of its conceptions. A bet
ter pleased audience seldom if ever left Gran
lite Hall at the close of a performance than
that of last evening.

For four days the streets have been alive
with Christmas shoppers. and there has been
aconstant stream of well dressed ladies and
gentlemen, fitting from store to store with
budgets and packages slowed away in their
pockets or protruding from beneath their
arms. The dealers on the street are jul
bilant over their Christmas trade. 1t was
the same story everywhere yesterday, "Our
store has been besieged by purchasers of
Christmas presents every day this week"
Several stated that they had never while in
business met with so successful holiday
trade. One store employed IA clerks and
was obliged to use cash boys.
Last night, after the close of
trade, many stores presented an almost
bare appearance, so great had been the de-
mand for goods. As usual the mail bags were
loaded down with Christmas parcels and the
express company has had its hands full in
transporting the peoples gifts. This beautiful
custom of making presents on Christmas
Day seems to be growing in favor every year
and Santa Claus nimble steeds have .
bigger load than ever to pull.
