come in and ordered him and his lady to
give up their seats. Mr.. Davis called in
an officer of the town, and asked his as

When Will j. Davis, of the Haymarket
Theater, was at the head of the Chicago
Church Choir Pinafore Company, he led
his warblers into the State of Texas. In

night the company was appearing in Gal
weston. The parquet was we'll filled by
the best people. A long-haired man pre-
sensed himself at the box Office with two
boys, and said he wanted one seat. Mr..

CHICAGO, June 20. The city is in a

million yards of these goods have been
used in the decoration. The town was
astir early, and from the rising of the sun
bands and delegates were marching
through the streets from various depots
at which they arrived, to their respective
headquarters. Hotel corridors and side
walks are crowded with mass of people,
estimated at $50, 900, in addition to the
regular population.

All the committees meet to-day at IL,

The psrsimony of the Pacific Slope
delegation is in striking contrast with
that of the Democratic delegation at st.
Louis. While the latter kept open, ex.
tending unbounded hospitality'to guests
from every part of the country, the Re.
publicans only allow visiting delegations
to look at their stores of wines, aud each

A Creakinq Hinge


Is dry and turns hard, until oil is applied,
after which it moves easily. When the
joints, or hinges, of the body are stiffened
and infamed by Rheumatism, they cam
not be moved without causing the most
excruciating pains. Ayers Sarsaparilla,
by its action on the blood, relieves this
condition, and restores the joints to good
working order.
Ayers Sarsaparilla has effected, in our
city, many most remarkable cures, in
cases which baffled the efforts of the
most experienced physicians. Were it
necessary, l could give the names OF
many individuals who have been cured
by taking this medicine. In my case it
has worked wonders, relieving me OF
Rheum atism,
after being troubled with it for years. In
this, and all other diseases arising from
impure blood, there is no remedy with
which am acquainted, that affords such
relief as Ayers Sarsaparilla. -R. IL

Senator Heaton, Of Loudoun, gave Nor.

ia caused by the preparation of message
