Now VS.. Then

Our oldest inhabitant delights to refer to the
good old times, but when you pin him down he
reluctantly yet honestly admits that he C n not
name an item or an industry that is not greatly
improved in these later days.
Take for instance the article Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. Why, it would have been almost an
impossibility to have produced it in the olden
time.
cles which investigation has proven to be inert
are discarded, those which have proven their
merit are retained and a combination formed
of the most effective medical agents of the
vegetable kingdom peculiar to this medicine
alone. Their Active properties are secured ny
process SO modern and original that an emf
nent professor in the Massachusetts College Of
Pharmacy, while being shown through G. l.
Hood & Co. IS mammoth establishment, stopped
and looking Mr. Hood in the eye exclaimed,
"This is the present, that is the past,"-re-
ferring to competing houses.
Another point worthy Of mention right here:
Hoods Sarsaparilla is not an accident, but the
ripe fruit of industry and study. 1t was origin
ated by men thoroughly educated in the manip-
ulation OF medicines and Is made to-day under
their personal supervision. II the public could
see the care exercised in the selection and pur-
chase of every article that enters into Hoods
Sarsaparilia, and the cleanliness and neatness
with which its whole preparation is conducted,
they would not wonder at its great curative
power or at the hold it has on public confidence.
Its success is the natural result of real merit
and giving every purchaser a fair equivalent for
his money-One hundred doses one dollar.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

"The Streets of New York." which is
to run for the week, was given it's initial
presentation at the Peoples theater last
evening. The house was crowded,
people being turned away before
the curtain went up. The piece
c was 5ne T. Brown U4n' as Tom anu Badger Ms
made a decided impression. James
Harrison again made his appearance,
and gave a highly satisfactory rendi-
ton of the part Of Adam Fairweatber
and Miss Marie Wellesley as Aida
Bloodgood, Neil Scully as ''Dan" and
Wallace Shaw as ''Mr. Puffy" also
shared in the hOnors of the evening.
The we'll known romantic actor, James
O'Neill, opens his engagement tonight
at the Grand in ''MOnte CristO." The
scenic and mechanical effects of this
play have been often seen here, and
Mr.. O'Neill's characterization of Ed
mund Dantes is familiar to all theater-
goers.
Mr.. and Mrs. George S. Knight will
play a three-night engagement, COM

Baron Rudolph" comedy drama, will
be presented.
Manager Sterling, of the Peoples

SOMEWHAT MIXED.
The Law Involving the Municipal
Court Bench.

The municipal court judges are not to
be elected this fall. Attorneys agree ON
that point. 1t was very cute trick of
the Republicans to bring the ponderous
machinery of the state legislature to
bear on this little Office. to defeat the
will of the people.
"Will you be a candidate for Judge
of the municipal court?' a GLOBE re-
porter asked Judge Hollins.
mo; the legislature extended the
time of the present judges from four
years to six, and from the decision of
the supreme court in the contest case of
A. N. Jordan, the present judges have a
right to hold on until the spring of 1889.
There is no law authorizing an election
in 1889 OF until the general election in
1890"
docs not the constitution limit their
term of office to seven years?"
Eyes, but they may resign and be ap-
pointed by the governor, or hold until
their SUCCESSES are duly elected and
qualified"
The legislature, against the will of
the people, extended the terms of the
present judges until the spring of 1889,
but the schemers went the legislature
one better; they abolished the spring
elections. so there will be no Opportun-
ity of electing successors until 1890.
If both parties should agree, judges
might be elected this fall to succeed the
present incumbents when their terms
expire. but this is no part of the Repub-
lican programme. 1t is expected the
present Judges will resign at the end of
their term and rely upon reappoint-
ment by the governor.

LABOR TOPICS.

There were no developments yester-
day in the strike Of the girls at Shot
well, Clerihew & Lothman's. The girls
are very firm, and besides having the
encouragement of every labor organ
ization in the city feel that a healthy
public sentiment is at their back. 1t
was reported last night that the superin-
tendent of the factory was making a
vigorous effort to get girls to take the
places of the strikers, but with very in
different success. The girls are using
no unfair means to keep others out, but
the situation is very generally under
stood.
Most of the labor organizations met
Saturday night and passed resolutions
of encouragement, besides offering what
financial aid may be necessary. In adj
dition to these, the Social Science club
adopted aresolutiOn that for polite and
parliamentary severity has never been
surpassed here. 1t denounced the deg
radiation heaped upon honest girls who
NAV be called upon to fill the hOnOred
positions of wife and mother. 1t CEN
sured Woodward, the foreman, very
severely, as man without the instincts
of humanity and condemned the en-
plOyers who would build up fortunes
upon woman's necessities and virtue.

The Standard, of New York, Henry

of the situation the greater will be the
disposition to relieve it.

connected with the case.

THE OLD STORY.
The Beauty OF the Girl Was Her
Ruin.

The Beauty OF the Girl Was Her
Ruin.
One year ago, persons passing along
a certain street. nor far from the city
hall, might have seen black-eyed little
maiden, possibly twelve years of age,
playing with other little girls at making
mud pies, or engaged in some happy
children's game. She was bright
little elf, with a plump little body, and
a pair of eyes black as jet, and as
bright as diamonds. Passers-by always
nodded to her, and one or two even tried
to form speaking acquaintance with
the little beauty. They never sue
ceeded. however, for with a shake of
her head the little one would run away.
During the summer she disappeared.
and her accustomed haunts saw her no
more. Yesterday she was seen near the
place where she formerly played as a
barefoot girl, but how great the
change. This time she wore costly
silk dress, and from her ears dangled
handsome diamond earrings. Her once
sweet face was rouged and painted,
and her eyes wore an uneasy, hunted
expression. 1t required but glance to
tell the sad story, and to see the little
girl of twelve transformed into a
woman of twenty, in worldly experience
and sin. The story is an old One-the
girls beauty was her ruin.

Old Enough to Vote.


Chicago Times.
Twenty-one years and three months
ago Albert WatsOn's grandmother
down East mixed into yellow spotted
mass flour and sugar and milk and
citron and currants and raisins and eggs
and spices, and baked the mass in hot
oven and placed it outside the windows
to cool. The cake was laid away quietly
then. Three months later it was laid
away again with great Ostentation, as
the birthday cake of Albert Watson,
who was born that day. Last week a
piece of that same cake, moist and
appetizing, unnibled by the snaggle-
tooth of time, was received by
Albert WatsOn's aunt, in this town.
The cake was cut up at the celebration
of Albert's twenty-frst birthday in BOS-
ton. and stands as monument of the
ability of New England women to cook
good, solid, palatable, scrumptiOus,
Old-fashioned cake that will be nice to
eat and pleasant to look at when the
new tangled compositions of the French
chef have clumbled and decayed and
passed away from the memory of man.
The cake is twenty-One years old.
Albert has beard, and the good old
housewife who prepared the hardy
sweet is long since dead.

A TEMPERANCE YOUNG MAN.
His Success Depends Upon His Be-
ing a Total Abstainer.


Rev. Charles F. Thwing's sermon to
young men at plymouth church yester-
day afternoon touched upon the temper
ance question, and was very interesting.
"The temperance question: said he,
like the problems of mathematics, has
certain aXiOms. Among these self-evi-
dent truths are these: The over-use of
liquor is curse. The over-use of liquor
occasions vast amount of suffering and
sin and crime. The over-use of liquor
is the apparent cause of the physical,
mental and spiritual ruin of not few
men. The over-uSe of liquor results in
the apparent Inheritance by children of
the alcoholic appetite of the parents.
Oratorical denunciation of the curse of
intemperance does not promote the
cause of temperance. Fierce anathemaS
uttered against liquor dealers DO not
cause them to shut their saloons. Curses
Kissed against drunkardS will not cause
them to break their cups. The liquor
dealer is engaged in what L believe to
be a corrupt and corrupting, debased
and debasing business. els usually in
league with hell. But to tell him he
is the vicegerent of the devil, will onot
usually persuade him to break his cove
nant. J. now proceed to take position
suggested by the text which l think
will appeal to your judgment as true as
well as to your heart as right. For
young man to begin to drink liquor is
unwSe. 1t is unwse for him as an in
dividual. For any one to put upon his
back a twenty-pound weight and to
Oblige himself to bear this burden in
the course is serious impeachment.
Carrying it he may win. Because he
carries it certainly he will not win.
If he wins at all, he would have
won with more ease and greater
glory if he had not carried it,

should he marked Poison" which one
should not take except under compe-
tent advice. If in disease it is a bridge
over crisis, in health it is like bearing
the iron and steel of the bridge, a con-
slant burden, over many miles of oplain
and mountain. Those exposed to great
severity of climate, who are temperate
endure longer than those who drink.
Soldiers who are temperate can march
further and fight better than those who
are Incorporate. Sailors who are tenn
perate can endure the awful rigor of
the Atlantic and Pacific better than
those who have their grog. The boat
ing men in college preparing for race
are strictly temperate. Ball men are
not allowed to drink when in practice.
To drink is unwise for the intellect.

The Greek Minister.

Philadelphia Ledger.
j. Gennadius, the Greek minister in
London, now on special mission to
Washington, was in the city for short
visit. He was heartily welcomed by
many old friends, for he was attached to
the Greek legation at COnstantinople
when the Hon. George III. Boxer was
American minister here, and the friend
ship begun there has continued to grow.
In Washington he made the acquaint-
ance of a good many PhiladelphianS,
who have given him hOspitable recep-
ton here. He lunched with DR.. and
Mrs. HuidekOper, dined at Mrs. Childs'
and Mrs. Boxers. was the guest of the
Philadelphia club and found time to see
the historic sights of the city. A per-
feet master of English, he is typical
representative Of the Greek nation, cul-
tivated, intellectual and energetic. Thd
old tie between Greece and the United
States is strengthened by such repre-
sentative coming among US, and he is
sure to be an effective diplomatist.
He is the second Greek minister
at Washington. The first. M. Ran
gate, appointed in 1870, served for only
year or two. Mr.. Gennadius belongs
to an old Greek family. one of his ances-
tors having been the first patriarch of
COnStantlnOple after It's conquest by the
Turks. His father was the founder of
the present admirable school system of
Greece, where education from the
primary school to the university is free
to all. Mr.. Gennadius was born in
Athens in 1s49, and, after graduating
with honor at the university, began life
as merchant, but entered the diplO-
matte service in 1870, and has served
with distictiOn in COnstantinople, Berlin
and London. He was largely instru-
mental in the organization of the Greek
committee in London, which, under the
presidency of Lord Rosebery and with
the active support of Messrs. Freeman,
Liberals. has done much to secure to
Greece stronger and more Independent
political position. He is a man of great
literary ability and of the most winning
manners, and an ardent believer in the
manifest destiny of Greece, with it's
wonderful growth in the past and its
future full of hope and promise.
