The Stockbridge Testimonial at City Hall

audience Those who have not yet secured
their tickets should call at Stockbridge's
during the day and procure them. They
will find good seats still to be had. Parties
from out of town will find that the different
railroad lines have made arrangements for
their convenience.
Speaking of Nine. Furch-Madi, who will
be heard for the first time in Portland, the
New York Musical Courier says: "Mme.
Fursch-Madi scored an enthusiastic and we'll
deserved success. She sang first the ex-
tremely difficult and ungrateful scena and
we must confess that we have seldom heard
such strongly dramatic expression coupled
with so brilliant vocalization and such
musicianly phrasing. Nine. Fursch-Madi is
a true and great artistic, and her singing on
last Saturday was of that high order which
one does not often hear except from Patti
OF a Parepa-Rosa. to which latter, indeed,
we are inclined to compare Mime Fursch-
Madi."

j. A. Haverlys company will present
"Uncle Toms Cabin" at City Hall Friday
and Saturday, and tickets can now be pro-
cured at Stockbridge's. The company is
said to be q strong one all the way through.
Each individual important character in the
play is strongly brought ont. Uncle Tom,
Topsy. Little Eva. Cousin Opheia, Maria,
Simon Legree and st. Clair are parts all rem
dered true to life, and in way to leave lit
tie room for criticism. The hounds perform
an important part in the rendition OF this
thrilling drama, the omission of which would
destroy much of the realism of the presenta-
ton.

If we know all the methods of approach adopt

off the danger and postpone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances
the Inherent strength of the body sufices to ena-
BILE it to oppos the tendency toward DEATH Many
however, have lost these forces to such an extent
that there is little or no help. In other cases, a
little aid to the weakened Lungs will make all
the difference between sudden death and many
years of useful life. Upon the first symptoms of
a Cough, Cold, or any trouble OF the Throat or
Lungs, give that old and well known remedy
Boschee's German Syrup, a careful trial. 1t will
