TON light.

Does anyone need more evidence of what
the Turnverein exhibition Is to be? Are not
the facts that one hundred members OF
Bowdoin College are coming twenty-nine
miles; that fifteen members of Bates College
are coming thirty-six miles; that DR.. d. A.
Sargent is coming ITO miles to attend this
event enough to convince the most skepticai
that this exhibition is to be worthy of your
presence?
And If this is not enough, is not the addi-
tional fact that the most famous of ancient
Greek statues, those that have never been
excelled or even equalled before or since.
will be perfectly represented sufficient? If
it is then take a pleasant morning walk to
Stockbridge's and secure the best of the un-
bought seats.

comb have announced an annual series Of spring
tours through Colorado and California, and 1--WE
years ago they added the wonderfully picturesque
region Of the Pacific Northwest to their western

winter trips, nasmuch as they are for stated pc.
rlod and are made purely for sightseeing pur-
poses. Both Colorado and California are visited

tractive. The Yosemite Valley is then accessible

Park, which is included in the Pacific Northwest
tour. Descriptive circulars may be obtained Of

Purifies
the Blood

AT no other season does the human system so
much need the aid of reliable medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparla, as now. The impoverished
condition of the blood, the weakening effects of
the long, cold winter the lost appetite, and that
tired feeling, all make good spring medicine alb.
solutely necessary. Hoods sarsaparilla is pecul
larry adapted for this purpose, and increases in
popularity every year. Give it trial.

be decided by arbitration, as described in the
agreed upon; and agreeing further that the
streets upon which the cable line runs shall
be paved by Nov. l, 1889. and that the line
shall be of standard gauge"
Chairman Warren, Aid. Sterling and
City Engineer Rinker were made sub
committee to draw up report to the
council, which will include this reSOlu-
ton. 1t will be satisfactory to the COM
pany and to the Eighth aud Thirteenth
ward aldermen, and will meet but little
opposition in the council. Some men,
bers will oppose it on the ground that
the council has no right to bind the city
to such an indefinite bill of expense,
but the anxiety to see the motor re-
moved will probably outweigh other
considerations. The committee will ac-
company Mr.. Goodrich to st. Paul this
morning to see the cable line there.
