Those wonderful gentlemen, the Hanlon
Brothers, will present their merry and sur.
prislng 'Ls Voyage en- Suisse" This mirth-
lul reproduction of old "Mr. Dwindle-
downs" bridal tour through Switzerland
partakes of the qualities of musical panto-
mine, comedy, farce, and spectacle. Since
it last amused and amazed plsy-goers of this
city, it has been so remodeled, improved,
and repolished as to be in great part entire
~ new. Four new characters have been
added, and a number of new, ingenious stage
tricks, for which the Hanlons have become
famous the world over, have been introduced.
The Haulous will appear as "Bob" and
John" the two model servants.
The first act opens with the capsizing OF
the stage-coach, scattering the passengers
over the stage. This is signal for the fu
to begin. The second act transpires on q
Swiss sleeping-car, which is apparently 10
motion, in which many funny incidents take
place. The act concludes with an explosion
and tableau, showing the passengers cling
ing to telegraph poles, tress, and other con-
venient objects. The closing scene takes
place in the Rigi Kuhn Hotel, where several
diguises are assumed and specialties intro
duced. In this act is seen an Alpine snow
scene. representing Switzerland in winter.
The cast: Edward Hanlon, Edward Ed
wards, William Herbert, 7. H. Glenny,
Harry Vaughn, William E. Wilson, Charles
F, Watson, Henri Canradi, Robert Butler,
Richard Jones, Thomas W. Riley, Miss Hell
en- Mortimer, Miss Ethel Grey, Miss L. Ba-
ker allie Vance, Carrie Morton, May Jones.

Treatment, of .ngrowIng Naiis.

A very common and troublesome stfeotit
Is that which is popularly termed the IN
growth of the nails, T" and which most usual
~ occurs by the side of the great toe Ihere
is really no alteration in the nail, as lis
name would imply; the surrounding soit
parts are first swelled and infiamcd by cor
slant pressure against the edge OF the nail
from the use of tight shoes. II this state is
permitted to continue, an ulcer is formed In
which the edge of the nail is imbedded.
Pain is the consequence, sufficiently severe
iu some rns tances To prevent walking
Treatment for this condition often de-
mands the skill of physician. The sutf'r +
might attempt cure by simpler methods,
aud, if they fail, professional assistant
should be sought The first object is to re-
move the cause. then to lessen the irritation
and reduce the swelling. After soaking in
hot water the nail should be thinned by
scraplng, ana IL very paihiui' heAsoe'
poultice will bring relief. After the irrita-
Jion has sufficiently subsidized, soft cotton
should be pressed between the flesh and tie
nail, and after that is done, it should be sa'-
urated with tie tincture of iodine, and the
application repeated several days, after
which the tenderness will disappear 1t NAV
be necessary to lift the eud of the nail, a d
this can be done by pressing cotton between
1t and the toe. This treatment is usually eff
rective, and is attended with.as little pain al
any which can be suggested.

George w. Childs.

The voluntary retirement Of Hon. James
q Blaine from the political arena las di-
reced serious attention to Geo. W. Chids
AZ the Rsdubllcan standard bearer for 1888.
The spontaneous expressions of the Re
publican leaders in PENNSYLVANIA already
give tine assurance that Mr. Chiids will enter
the Chicago Convention with an enthuast,c
aad an undivided delegation from the Key
stone State. Not only in Pennsylvania but
dicatious are unmistakable that public ssnti-
meut is erystallizilg in favor Of MIR. Childs
candidacy.
He is exceptionally strong with the money
cd institutions of this oDuntcy aud at the
same time labor interests have for him 10y
atty and an affection vouchslfed TO no other
american citizen.
Every department of industry and COM
merce would have an abiding faith in the
sagacity and integrity M Chiids not only
as the Republican standard bearer, but also
as the President of this glorious country.
1t can safely be stated that no man in
| public life to-day has been more intimately
ass ciated with the cminently distinguished
men of the world and at the same time there
is no man who has more greatly apppreciat-
ed the sorrows of his fellowman and done
| more to amelo1ate those sorrows than Mr..
Geo w. Chtlds.
If any one consistently followed the divine
injunction ''of not allowing the tight hand
to know what the left baud d1eth," Mr.
Childs has certainly measured tho require.
menty of that law.
For years he hasl distribute d for the alley
iasiou OF human suffering and sorrow ovel
oue-hurdIed- cd fifty thousand dollars (S1
Sc. 00O.) per annum, and tbs distribution hal
been carried on so unostentatiously that thu
recipients not know whom to thank for sucl
bounteous offerings.
Mr. Chlds' candidacy would annihilat
party lines, as for the reasons above stated
he has the confidence Of the Democrats a
well as the republicans.

When comrades invite you to bi eak away
Fron the duties to which you're bound'
Aud to join with them in their idle play
To whirl in their giddy round,
Ref ct moment before You take
A course you may sadly rue,
And for your own and dear ones sake,
Be true to yourself-be truei
Be true to yourself each hour OF the day
30 honestly, fearle,sly true,
That neither foe ror friend may say
That he was deceived in you;
Let honor be set in the highest place,
Secure from the reach of pelf,
And in every case, by an act of grace
Be true-o be true to yourself

The Pneumonia Season.


II New York had one-tenth as many
deaths from any disease that comes under the
head of pestlleuce, and typhoid fever seems
TO belong there. IS it does from pneumonia,
it would be wildly panic stricken and every
Gothamite who conid get away would be on
the run. This wholesale destroyer is busy
all the year round but chiefly, of course,
after the cold weather begins. At the pres
ent time it is doing its fatal wolk all over
the city and adding to the death list every
day. The doctors are very little more sue
cessfu in treating it than they were twenty
or thirty years ago, when it was called
either inflammation of the lungs or conges,
tion of the lungs. 1t probably is not any
more prevalent than it was then, but we
hear great deal more about it, anyway.
The frequent mention of it in the death
notices would seem to indicate that nearly
half the deaths in the winter are caused by
it. Men apparently in the most robust hcaltt
are stricken down almost instantly, and
4 .th frequently ems Mithia- lai.s i; a
hours. If tile aged are alta ;ked bv it fata
result is almost absolutely cet tain, 5 me o
he doctors are nav talking about microb'
that they suppose to be at the bottom # t.
but that does not som 10 help them il
