THE CANALS HOTEL BILLs.-The
Annapolis Republican of last Saturday
publishes an itemized statement from
the books of Barnum's Hotel, Balti-
more, covering numerous dates from
1874 down to 1879, showing the char
acter of hotel bills the Chesapeakeand
Ohio Canal Company had to pay for
its officials. The Republican thinks
that "hotel and restaurant bills to the
amount of Sll, 1868 in the course of
six years, for gentlemen who were at
the same time drawing salaries from
the canal. which they helped to bank
rupt, is showing which the State
and those who hold the unpaid cou-
pons of the canal ought to feel con-
cerned in" Then follows list of en-
tries that are startling, indeed, in
their character. For example, dur
ing the month Of December, 1874,
Messrs. German, Bannon, Berret, ct
al, spent Sll9.65 of The CANALS money
for their entertainment at Barnum's
Hotel, of which amount S36. 10 was for
champagne, Sl2 for cigars, 81 for
whiskey and the remainder for board,
dinners and carriages for their own
use. Under date of September 9th,
1876, dinners costing $50 were had, at
which 1872 worth of champagne was
consumed, besides "a for whiskey.
$3.50 for claret, and $3.50 for cigars.
There are many other charges of like
character, but these are sufficient to
show how the canal wreckers lived at
the canals expense. Frederick Union

DOES 1T PAY z

Three-fourths of our people are troub-
led with Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint
in some form or other, which by nature
of the disease has depressing influence
on the mind and body, preventing them
from thinking or acting clearly in any
matter of Importance. Indigestion,
coming up of food after eating, dyspep-
STA, sick headache, acidity of the stom-
ach or any arrangement of the stomach
or liver upon which the whole action of
our system depends) are speedily and eff
fectually overcome by the use of Green's
August F1otcer. The most stubborn cas-
es have yielded to its influence, as thous-
ands of letters received will testify
The immense sale of this medicine is an
other guarantee of its merits, lover a
million and a half bottles sold last year J
So we ask will it pay you to suffer from
any of the above diseases when you can
have immediate relief in the august
F2oacer, Three doses will prove its
worth. 1t is sold by all druggists and
general dealers in all parts of the world.
