The best medical writers clam that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non-irritating, easy of application. and
one that will reach all the remote sores
and liberated surfaces. The history of
the efforts to treat catarrh during the
past obliges us to admit that only one
remedy has met these conditions, and
that is Ely's Cream Balm. This pleasant
remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing
else has ever done. and both physicians
and patients freely concede this fact.
The more distressing symptoms yield to

There are no doubt many persons
who will attend this greatest show

that those who are booked early in
the steamship lines will get the &C.
commodations they pay for. The only
reliable lines are represented by
reliable men, like w. J. Young,
agent for all trans-A tlantic lines
and what he says and
promises is as good as the bond of
any steamship company. The rates
he gives are the lowest. The state
ments he makes are the truth, and
given over his own signature. Parties
intending to visit Europe will
find it to their interest to avoid
personally conducted" schemes, and
book their passage with an agent
who will stand responsible for any
statements made and any tariff given.
A passage booked with a reliable
agent will insure a successful and
pleasant trip. Call at No. l, Com

MendeIssohn Ouintette Club.

This grand company of thorough
musicians make their appearance at
the Grand tomorrow night. The Gal
weston News, in speaking of their
event says:
"The music loving people of Gal
weston were out in full force at the
Harmony theatre last night, the at
traction being the Mendelssohn Quin-
tette club. The we'll known musical
club as now organized, consists of the
following artists
Herr Wilhelm Ohliger, solo violin
and concert master; Mr.. Manassas
Adler, solo violin; Mr.. Thomas Ryan,
clarionette and viola; Herr Schlachter,
viola and violincello; Herr Anton
HekkIng, solo and violincellist; and
Miss Alice Ryan, prima donna, So
pranO.
Owing to the illness of Herr Anton
Hekking, the programme had to he
changed somewhat, but from his sick
bed this very remarkable artist came
to fill his solo number on the pro-
gramme, and his contribution was I'M
questionably the most appreciated
feature of the programme. His play
ing of the cello was simply wonder
full. He brought from the rare in
strument a sympathetic quality of
tone that touched the very heart of
his audience and held them SPELL
bound.
He has remarkable technique and
his execution of the beautiful varia-
tions in Servais' concert piece simply
took the audience by storm and
created "a perfect Juror of enthusiasm.
The organization is composed of
artists throughout headed by the
veteran pioneer of the club, Mr..
Thomas Ryan, whose artistic eXecu-
ton of some of his original themes on
the clarionette stamped him an artist
whose power over the instrument has
not been lessened in the least by his
age.
The singing of Miss Alice Ryan, the
only vocal feature of the programme,
was on this account dOubly appre-
ciated, aside from her very pleasing
mezzO-soprano voice, in the use of
which she displays keen musical in
stinct and in her artistic execution
much to the musical skill of her
father.
Herr Wilhelm Ohligher, the solo
first ViOlinist of the club, gave some
remarkable exhibitions of skill. His
original number consisted of themes
from Faust with full accompaniment,
which he rendered so brilliantly and
effectively that an encore was de-
manded.
The concerted pieces were all rem
dered with a SVmnathetic harmony
and with a vigorous and expressive
style and correctness of method that
won sincere appreciation from the
music connoisseurs of the audience,
and was pleasing even to the tyro.

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch in the life of the individual. Such a re-
markabe event is treasured in the memory
and the agency whereby the good health has
been attained is gratefully blessed. Hence it
is that so much is heard in praise of Electric
Bitters. So many feel they owe their restora-
ton to health, to the use of the Great Altera-
tive and Tonic. If you are troubled with any
disease of kidneys, liver or stomach, of long
or short standing, YOU will surely find relief
by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at SOC and 81

Dead Among Strangers.

An American gentleman travelling
in Switzerland for his health, accom-.
panied by his sister, died suddenly
of hemmorage at the village inn. A
temporary interment was necessary
to permit communication with
friends this side of the water. At
the simple service in the little Gene
terry on the mouEtain side the be-
reaved sister noticed with surprise
four gentlemen, evidently not ma
tives, standing a little away from
her with uncovered heads. She found
afterward that of these self-imposed
mourners one was ScOtchman from
Glasgow, another an EngIIshman
from Sheffield. and the others two
German gentlemen. The latter were
travelling in company, but We're
strangers to the others. who, in turn,
were unacquainted with each other.
Yet. all OF them had delayed their
departure over one diligence to pay
a tribute of respect to the unknown
man, dead in strange land, and the
solitary mOurner tar from home.
