The Court House and En- eIOsure-
We have heretofore called the ats ntion of the
county commissioners to the did idated and
disgraceful condition of the Cour blouse and
its surroundings. 1t seems that pur appeals
to put necessary repairs upon the ublic prop
erty have fallen upon needless IS, and Ill e
too many of their predecessors, 1e commits
soLers are afraid to do their dut lest they
be accused of extravaganza. uWhen the
Republicans were in office any e ure to i'm
mediately do necessary work, rd ardless OF
cost, caused howl to go up unti the welkin
rang with condemnation Of that 8party, but
when the Republicans are out an ne Demo-
Gratis arein, and neglect is everys ere appar-
ent, to cover their neglect, they there are
no funds, the Republicans used i m all, &c.
notwithstanding the hat eient sum
has been levied 10 cover all discrep cies which
existed in nsequence of failt upon the
part of the Republican board, to ivy a sum
sufficient to meet the actual EXP ses. Our
Court House and enclosure is isgrace o
the county and lowers us ia the e mation f
every visiting stranger and the fai re to keep
them in proper condition, is COZ emned By

ELKS' ANNUAL BENEFIT.
Attractive Programme Presented to
the Patrons OF the Order.

AttraCtive programme Ireseuteu 10
the Patrons of the Order.
Washington Lodge, No. Is, Benevolent
and Protective Order Of Elks, of this Dis
trict, will give their sixth annual benefit
next Thursday afternoon at Albaugh's
Grand Opera House. 1t has been conceded
that the performances given under the
auspices Of this order are the most enter
tanning and attractive presented on the
stage, and as consequence are generally
well patronized. The reasons for this are
that the order is charitable one, and also
includes In Its membership many members
Of the theatrical and variety professions,
who know its objects and how its charity
work is performed, neither parade nor
this direction being permissible.
The public also, appreciating a
flrstclass performance, were not
slow when these entertainments were
started to learn it could be found In the
programme Offered by the Elks, and this
to some extent accounts for the large at
tendance on such occasions. For the COM
ing event Washington Lodge, through Its
executive committee having the matter in
charge, has tried to have this eclipse all
others in the matter Of attractions. Among
those who will appear may be mentioned
Rice's "Evangeline" Company, Evans IE
Hoey's Company, Robert B. Mantell and
company, Edmund Collier and company,
Mr.. and Mrs. John w. Albaugh, and the
following volunteers from this city, Balti.
more, Philadelphia, and New York: Martell
brothers, Kelly and Murphy, Sam Devere,
Billy Carter, VIM. McMahon, Flora Moore,
Polly Mcdonald, Siegrlst brothers, Mignani
family, Murphy and Wells, John A. Cole
man, Frank Eline, Kitty O'Neill, Lulu
Frietb. With such an array OF talent 1t
would be difficult indeed to please those
not satisfied, and It is pretty safe to say
there will be few OF that kind. The box
sheet is now open at Droop's music store,
where early calls should be made to obtain
choice seats.

THE woMAN's GREAT FIGHT
To Stop the Sale of Intoxicating LII
quors.

To Stop the Sale of Intoxicating LII
quors.
Prohibition showed yesterday that 1t has
strong hold on the people OF this city.
Those passing the Congregational Church
at $3.50 o'clock, noticing the overcrowded
condition OF that edifice, were convinced
that the movement had the moral support
Of large proportion Of the citizens Of this
community. There were at least 800 in
teretted men and women present. On the
platform were many prominent leaders,
workers in the temperance cause, Mrs,
La: s:Fetra, Of the W. CT. u, presided, and
near her was the celebrated Silver Lake
quartette, OF New York, Rev. G. ii. Mead,
conductor. This band Of singers was the
feature OF the occasion, and the spirited
and soul. stirring songs they Gang were re-
ceived with frequent applause.
Mrs. La Fetra introduced Prof A. A.
Hopkins, Of Rochester, who for thirty
minutes made very forcible and logical
liquor traffic Of the country was daily VIC.
latipg the laws OF the land, Eruining the
youths, and becoming more and more ag-
gressive against the rights OF the people.
He was followed by the quartette In few
soDge. Rev. G. IL. Mead then spoke, and
made strong plea 10 save the boys from
the dreadful curse Of intemperance. The
Prohibition party, he claimed, now deter.
mined to march on, singing, praying, and
even bulldozing until they gained their
point. He said that the liquor organ in
this city had to go. 1t was no good. at
will have to CO." he exclaimed with
much emphasis. "God was on the side Of
the cause, and his people would conquer,
because they were in the right"
Rev. Sam Small then took the speakers
stand, and his appearance was greeted with
| much applause. After making an appeal
| for contributions to help the movement, he
began his speech, which was based on the
letter of Congressman Hayes, of Iowa, pub
lished In morning contemporary.RTh re.
ply was very severe, and he said many hard
things Of that congressman.

OPIUM SMOKING AND EATING.

OPIUM SMOKING AND EATING.
Tho Great increase OF the Curse in the
United states-whole Families Being
Ruined.
To persons unacquainted with the facts
In the case, the figures that are recorded Of
the amount Of opium and morphine smoked
and used and the number Of opium hsbitues
lin the United States to-day would
Hook like pure fiction. Last year over
lhR, go pounds OF opium were used
in this country, but $4,000 OF which
lnwas for purely medicinal purposes.
A canvass OF the drug stores and facts
In the possession OF opium experts
reveal, at the lowest estimate, $1,000
opium takers, Of which 1900 are
opium smokers mot Chinese but
American.) Again, 96,700 hypoder-
mic tyringes for injecting morphine
INwere manufactured and sold last
tEW4 When we consider that the large
" tNmajority OF opiumaeaters were made
isuch by the carelessness Of physi-
clans who prescribe this drug with
out proper precautions, 1t reveals the
medical profession in no very envi-
One pleasant feature OF this gloomy sub.
ject is that q remedy has at last been found
that can take a sufficiently powerful hold
on the brain and nerves Of opium takers
to replace the drug while they are recover
ing from its effects. This Is Buckland's
Scotch Oats Essence, that by trial In hos
pital and private practice has proved itself
to have a marvellous influence over all
forms OF Nervlne Diseases. 1t is cheap
($1 per bottle), and hence within the reach
OF all, and, best OF all, It is not only almost
aspeci1c for Nervous Debility, Exhaustion,
Paralysis, Neuralgia, and the like, but is
the only known reliable remedy for the
Opium Habit.-New York World.
