The push aud enterprise shown by
one of the druggists in the eastern part
of our city certainly should and does
merit the patronage Of the citizens in
that vicinity. We have noticed from
time to lime Mr. Beaton Smiths i'm
provements aud advances made in his
business; but now our attention is
called TO another department no has
opened in his new store at the corner OF
Seventh and Pine streets. We wonder,
however, that such q branch OF the
drug business had not been commenced
on the Pre- per scale long before this In
that part tf our city. The new depart
ment comprises line Of 1.-THE Phtla-
delphia Truss Co.'S" celebrated Cham.

descriptions, such "a knee caps, ankiets,
belts, both cotton and SILK abdominal
supporters, shoulder braces for male
and female; in fact full line OF this
class of goods, which are made by one
| of the hest known establishments In
the country. The company, as we'll az
MIR. Smith, guarantee satisfaction In
every respect.
Hs proposes making this branch OF
the business speciality No. . (prescrip
ltiops being his specially No. -. de

that Of the prescription, BY dispens
ling pure drugs, charging fair prices AND
having the stric.est attention To hil
ihnsiness, Mr.. Smith has succeeded il
building up Q large prescription ant
,Idrug business generally. As this new
enterprise is justly a part Of the drul
business, he intends pushing It thor
onohly. To that end he has put In hil
store & AZ ane an assortment of the good

Fighting I'm tho wrong Place.

There was o large number 0f specta-
tors present at the Saturday evening
session OF the Municipal Court. and
while the case Of Starkey WAS being
heard, two half grown boys, named
John Mulln and Joseph Oarrigan, en-
gagged in q fight just outside the rail.
They were promptly arrested by ofhcers
Kennedy and Marques and locked up.
When the business on hand had been
transacted they wore brought into tne
dock, and In ans swer to the Ju lge denied
that they were fighting; in fact tried te
make him believe that they were a

spectator who witnessed the whole
affair, testified that they were fighting
and they were adjudged guilty OF con

their option TO pay fine, or be com

No work of human hands ls ever done
without o picture of it having been first

excellence and beauty to the character
Of these imaeinings and 70 the ! degree In
which they have been faithfully repre-.
sented. So In cbaracter-there Is tnat
