Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused
such general revival of trade at
Ritchey & Stroud's Drug Store as
their giving away to their customers
of so many free bottles of DIR Kings
New Discovery for Consumption.
Their trade is simply enormous in
this very valuable article from the
fact that it always cures and never
disappoints. Coughs, Colds, Asthma,
Bronchitis, Group, and all throat and
lung diseases quickly cured. You
can test it before buying by getting a
trial bottle free, large sizes 81.

ARE YOU GOING
To Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Ne
hraska. Oregon, California,

Or any point in the West or North
west? If so you will of course wish
to be informed as to the cheapest,
shortest and most pleasant route.
You will wish to purchase your tick
ct via the route that will subject you
to no delays, and by which through
trains are run. Before you start you
should provide yourself with a map
of the Gulf Route, kansas City,
Springfield g. Memphis r. R.) the
only route from the South to the
West. This line runs its entire trains,
with Pullman Palace Sleeping Cars,
free Reclining Chair Cars and Elegant
Day Coaches from Memphis to Kan
saS City, saving many hours time
over any other route.
For emigrants from the South to
Oregon, Washington or the far West,
this route is especially desirable, as
holders of emigrant tickets are by
this route carried in frst-class cars on
first-class trains. Close connections
are made at Union Depot, Kansas
City, with overland routes, carrying
free emigrant sleeping cars through
to Portland, Oregon. Thus, passen-
gers by this route have but one
change of cars, Memphis to Portland,
Oregon. When you go West you
will save time and money by pur-
chasing your ticket via Memphis and
the Gulf Route. Send. for a large
map of this short route. Send for a
copy of the "Missouri and Kansas

WHY You Feel

So weak and exhausted is because your
blood is impure. AS we'll expect the
sanitary condition Of city to be per-
feet with detiled water and defective
sewerage, as to expect such compli-
Gated piece of mechanism as the human
frame to be in good order with impure
blood circulating even to its minutest
veins, Do you know that every drop
of your two or three gallons of blood
passes through the heart and lungs in
about two and half minutes, and that,
on its way, it makes bone and muscle,
brain and nerve, and all other solids
and fluids of the body? The blood is
the great nourisher, or, as the Bible
terms it,
"The Life of the Body"
Is it any wonder, then, that if the blood
be not pure and perfect in its consti-
tuents, you suffer so many indescribable
symptoms?
Ayers Sarsaparilla stands "head and
shoulders" above every other Alter

the best remedial agencies for the cure

and general builder-up of the system,

satisfaction"

 Individually, New York has one of the strongest teams in the country, but the 1 men do not work well together.aslTheir
 fielding is uneven, their batting spasmodic, and their base running could also be inn proved upon. The combination lacks team | work, as all of them, with one or two ex- captions, appear to be playing for their own individual averages instead of for club success. Ward is undeniably better field captain than Ewing, and under him the team would win more games, if he were given absolute control of them and they given to understand by the management that his orders must but obeyed. No cap tain, however capable or efficient, can get good work out of team unless he is fully sustained in all his actions by the manage ment. Under existing circumstances, the New York team does not look like a pen- nant winner.

 Waterbury Before His Homer.
 About dozen dark skinned unfor- tunates from the sunny shores of Italy were present at the police court this morn ing as witnesses in the assault case against Incense Orlando. Charlie Fuori, a rotund, good-natured looking Italian, faithfully interpreted the language of Dante for the benefit of the bench and Prosecuting Attorney Donahoe. Orlando, with 8 partner, owns a fruit store in Brooklyn. Yesterday afternoon on ar irving at his store, he found four Italians, among whom was Alfonso Detato, engaged in practice faniliarly known as ''work- ing the growler." It appears that Incense was not offered any of the beer and he ejected his four countrymen from the store, and chased one of them as far as the Brooklyn bridge where he overlook him and used the national weapon on him, as a cut about three inches long in Detato's coet and vest testified. Incense forgot all about the occurrence this morning, but had to pay S1O and costs before he could leave the court room.
 John Meara was fined $1 and costs for keeping an unmuzzled dog. It seems that young son of Michael Sullivan is accus- toned to play in Meara's barn where the dog is chained up, and, venturing too near the canine, was bitten on the hand An appeal was taken by Meara.
 Charles Niles, a gentleman of color, was the third prisoner. Charles entered the house of colored lady at the West End in search of a drink of water. He made his presence known by knocking the lady down. Her screams attracted help, and Charles was arrested Seven dollars and costs was his sentence, and for the next two months Charles will work for the town of Waterbury at 28 cents day, net.

Vance Fails to Pay a Decided Compli-
ment in His Story.

At a meeting several weeks as o
of the Gndiron Club, Senator Vance
was called on to speak, and he
spoke. He referred to the press, of
course, and the boys tried to choke
him off, but he wouldn't be choked.
He said he had heard always of the
power of the press, but until now
had never been behind the scenes
and looked upon what the real
power was. and it reminded him of
a story. On one occasion Il farmer
in North Carolina took his boy to
a railroad station to let him see,
for the first time, train. The boy
looked at it in open-mouthed Won
der, and the old man showed him
all the main features.
"Look thar" he said, "thar's all
them cars, any of 'em bigyer'n the
house we live in, and all loaded
full, and weighin' more'n forty hay
stacks, and that ingine up thar
swIrls 'em along about fifty mile an
hour, and don't half try"
Yes. dad" murmured the boy,
half frightened.
And thar's more power than a
hundred boss teams, and it goes on
er it stops, iist as they want it to- D
"Who handles it, dad?"
The father took the boy up tc
the engine and showed him the
engineer, a little, greasy, dirty
good-for-nothing looking chap with
IL skull cap on his head and cigar
stub in his mouth. The boy looked
him over carefully, looked at the
engine, the long train, and then al
his father, and giving sort Of sniff
he said:
"WelI, it don't take much of ;
man to run it, do it, dad?'-Wash
