A Dream Of Fair Women.

Tennyson in his exquisite poem, dreams
of a long procession of lovely women OF
ages past. This is all very well, but the
laureate would have done the world a
greater service If he had only told the
women of the present how they could
improve their health and enhance their
charms. This he might easily have done
by recommending the use of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. Health Is the best
friend of beauty, and the innumerable ills
to which women are peculiarly subject,
its worst enemies. Long experience has
proven that the health of womankind and
the "Favorite Prescription" walk hand in
hand, and are inseparable. 1t is the
only medicine for women, sold by drugN
gists. under positive guarantee from the
manufacturers, that will give satisfaction
In every case, or money will be refunded.
This guarantee has been printed on the
bottle wrapper, and faithfully carried out
for many years.

It is singular to contrast the growing splen.

in this Nineteenth century with the sobriety
of the dress of the other sex, which has
shrunk within our own recollection into a

laws of nature are reversed, if it be true, as
Mr.. Darwin teaches, that the male bird owes
the hues of his plumage and the beauty of

The Keystoncs, the somewhat famous
club OF colorded players from Pittsburgh,
opened their season here yesterday with
a game with the Wheelings at Island
park, in which they were slaughtered
by score OF 10 $. 1t was cold, raw
afternoon and only about 100 persons
were in attendance. There were mum.

fifth inning, the merriment was uproari.

coaching, nor had a chance to warm it.
self up by laughing till it howled, over
the antics and unsurpassed excitement
OF the visitors.
It was in many respects the funniest
game OF ball ever seen here. The
coaching OF Cant was as wild and weird
us the hot pot chant Of one of Ryder
Haggard's Amahaggers. Walker, cap
tain OF the nine, played good second
to Cant from his position behind the
bat, in directing the field play OF his
nine, and in the fifth when the full
chorus opened up the racket was simply
too funny to describe. They made those
two runns in this manner: The first
two men Mt the bat had been put out.
Walker stepped to the plate and was
hit by ball, he stole second and went
TO third OIL 4 wild pitch. Miller got his
base on balls and went TO second on that
wide pitch. Then Bell hammered out
fly that Nichols and Stephens started for
and Nichols got, but lost it by having it
Jared out OF his hand by Stephens,
who Collided with him, and Walker and
Miller managed to reach home amid
wild and indeseribable excitement. Ray
followed Bell with u base hit and with
these two men on bases the excitement
was continued till Stanard hit to the
pitcher and ended the inning,
In the seventh Wheeling had eleven
men at the bat and they hammered the
very life out OF Miller, who by the way,
was with the Cuban Giants last season.
In this inning Stapleton had home
run and there were seven other safe
hits. With two men out and what
looked like sure capture OF a high fly
from Delehanty's bat, Otterson with
mercy for the pitcher, ended the massacre
by darling across the diamond from
first to third. Sol. White, Whceling's
old third baseman, was presented with a
handsome boquet as he stepped to the
plate. Score:
