How aDyiingChild
Was Saved +!

Cicero, HAMILTON Co., IND.. Sept, 10, ts97.-
The following Il q true account OF what your
g. s. S. has done for our little daughter, Hazel,
now four years old. when u months old a
lumpnppeared on her heel, which slowly grew
larger. The family physician thought 1t was
caused by piece OF broken glass or needle.
but failed to bring anything to light. The
child became feebler all the time. seeming to
lose the use of her log and finally quit walk
ing entirely. The middle finger and thumb
OF either hand became enlarged, the flesh be-
coming hard. The hip joints became involv-
ed, so that when seventeen months old abe
could not stand, having lost the use of leg
and arm. Partial curvature of the spine also
followed. The nervous system was wrecked,
muscles contracted, aud there was general
wasting of flesh and muscle. At eighteen
months OF age sne was placed under tho
treatment of prominent physician OF Bos.
ton, Mass, but ut the end OF ten months she
had declined TO such degree that she was In
dying condition. This was In April 1886
We took the child away not knowing what
to do. In this dreadful dilemma we were
over.persuaded by friends to try "one bot.
tie" OF SwIrTs SPECIFIC, which we did, and
before II had all been taken we saw a change
for the better In her symptoms. We keptit
up, and have done so to this day, and will
keep IL up, II the Lord wills, FOR many days
tocome for 1t has brought our dying Hazel
tollfc, to vigor, to strength and health again.
The ashen hue Of her checks has changed to
arosy tint. She is able to walk anywhere.
her languor and melancholy have passed
away, and she Is now u bllthc, cheerful, hap.
py romping child. Should you wish to In.
crease your testimonials OF proof of the
virtue of S. S. s.. our names and what we
have said is but portion of what we oweto
you, should you wish to use them.

DISAPPOINTED sLUGGERS
At Finding Themselves Shut Out OF
Carroll Institute,


Carroll Institute.
For nearly q week big posters have iilu-
minated the boards around the city an
nonncing that an athletic exhibition woull
be held at Carroll Institute on the night OF
the Sd instant, and Mr.. James Foster as
manager OF the affair. The programme
contained the names Of Jimmie Keenan, md
Jack Cavanaugh. Wm. Northredge, George
Rourke, "Reddy" White, Charles Hurdle,
ir., "Biily" Young, aud others who were to
dance, sing, wrestle, spar, and give their
specialties. The numerous attractions led
TO big sale Of tickets. A license was issued
by the commissioners under the name OF
"The Social Club of Baltimore for variety
entertainment at Carroll Institute Hall, for
spafring exhibition" Some Of the mem
ters OF the institute saw one OF the bills,
and were Mortified at the thought OF their
pretty hall being used for the exhibition OF
sluggipg. The result was that the comnis.
sioners were asked to revoke the license.
This they did yesterday afternoon, and
notified the police to prevent the exhibi
tion at that place. Those who bought
tickets came 10 numbers to the hall last
night, and were astonished to find Lieut..
Amiss, Sergt. Diggins, and Officer Frazier
In charge. mo show tonight, gentle
men," was the constant remark that the
lieutenant made to the "sports." The
men In charge OF the entertainment were
exceedingly mad; they had gone to some
expense, and the ticket receipts had loomed
up well, and everything looked like a ilnau-
cial success. Finding that the hall could
not be had, they left the place, threatening
suit for damages against those having
charge Of the place.

Justice Montgomery, Of the criminal
court, was called upon yesterday to rule
upon nice point Of law. 1t arose in the
case OF Esau L. johnson, proprietor OF
Johnson's Hotel, corner OF Thirteenth and
E streets northwest, who was charged with
selling liquor after hours on May last.
Mr.. Padgett appeared for the prosecution,
and Messrs. Cahill and Darlington for the
defendant.
Roscoe Mulliken was the only witness
called for the prosecution, and testified
that on the night in question he had been
served with oysters and beer after IL o'clock
at night.

Thirteenth street and the dining room on Z
street, and that the two rooms were dis
tinctly separated by a sliding door; that he
was not In the habit of serving drinks In
bis dining room, but II gentleman ordered
meal and desired wine or beer to 60 with
1t he would not hesitate to fill the whole
order.
The defendants attorney asked the court
to instruct the jury that II the bottle OF beer
was furnished as part and parcel OF the meal
In the dining room, separate from the bar,
the jury must aquit, and that under the
common law the defendant, as a hotel
keeper, was under the obligation imposed
on inn keepers to furnish entertainment
for men and beast, and II was his duty to
furnish'what was ordered as a part Of the
meal.
Mr.. Padgett claimed that o hotel license
did not give the proprietor the right to
sell liquors In any part OF his house, and
that to sell liquors he must also take out q
barroon license. He also called the atten-
tion ofithe court to the manner In which
the right claimed by the defense could be
used as subterfuge.
His honor then Instructed the jury that,
as in previous cases, he would say that 1t
was not good policy to cross bridge be-.
fore coming to 1t, and that they should only
deal With the facts In the present case. 81
am dealing with this case and no other.
There may be q case to. morrow in many re.
spects similar to this, In which, owing to
one feature, 1t may be necessary to give an
entirely different line OF instruction. IL
from the evidence In the case you are salts
fed that the meal and beer were called for
and served in good faith, then you should
bring In verdict Of acquittal. But, on
the other hand, n you believe that the
ordering Of the meal aSd the serving OF Il
was mere subterfuge on the part OF both
to evade the law, then you should convict"
The jury found verdict OF not guilty.
