varlcose Veins.
To the Molandine Company:

To the Nolandine Company:
Permit me to add my testimony to the
curative properties of Nolandine.
For many years have suffered from
varicose veins. Twelve months age I
struck my leg against chair, breaking
one of the veins. The wound thus
made could not be healed except for a
short time; then break ont afresh. At
times suffered untold misery from To-
cal fever and mos. insufferable burning
sensation. After using two (2) bottles
of your "Vegetable Nolandine" the
liberated places healed, the swelling
disappeared, natural sleep was restored,
and my nervous system composed.
Asa vermifuge, Nolandine acted spss
officially on one of my children. As T.
blood purifier and general tonic, your
Nolandine has no equal. Gratefully
yours, d. B. PROSSER,
at 1903 Main street, Richmond, Va.

Kelley the following testimonial in re-
gard to the virtue of 'Nolandine, which
we cheerfully publish for the benefit of
those who may be in need of such a
medicine"
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. time ago there
was a notice of the above mentioned
in the local columns of the Inde.r,
which attracted my attention. After a
conference with one of the proprietors
I procured a bottle of "No1andine, I"
and received so much benefit from its
use that tried second one, and am
now using the third. Having suffered
'indescribable tortures for more than
forty years from torpid liverthis medi-
cine has afforded me more relief, than
anything I have ever used. A desire
to benefit my fellow-creatures is my
sole motive for publishing this state
ment. JOHN D. KELLEY.

Why EVERYBODY Laughed.

A certain young newspaper man who
tolls for his ducats not far from the
North American" Office recently became
the proud father Of the handsomest baby
iii the world. Ole says it's the handsom-
est and he ought to know Last Satur-
day was his day off and he and his wife
thought they would give the town treat
by taking the baby out and exhibiting it
to the admiring multitude. They made
two short calls on friends and the lady
concluded to do some shopping, too,
while she was out.
The baby is fine, healthy youngster,
and after while it began to get heavy.
Hubby had been carrying it, and to re-
lieve him and allow him to stretch his
oramped arms the young mother took
turn with it. Before long the proud faith
er was again staggering along with the
precious load, and after that they took
turn about in carrying it. Then bril-
liant thought struck the father. Why
not buy baby coach! They needed one
anyhow, and might as well buy it while
they were out and wheel tootsy wootsy
home in comfort.
To think was to act, and in little
while the fond parents were pushing a
gorgeous coach down Chestnut street,
with the hope, expressed by the father,
that some of the boys on the other papers
could see the finest baby they ever laid
thotr A Sroft oh
livious to everything but how we'll the
baby looked in the coach, but hubby f.
nally began to notice that people coming
toward them seemed to see something
funny. He could not understand what 1t
all meant and concluded to investigate.
You wheel The coach while go ahead
and see what's The matter" he said to her.
He passed the coach dozen yards or
SO and then turned back. One look at
the coach made him blush and then shake
with laughter. They were near Ninth
street. and he told his wife to cross over
while he wheeled. She crossed the street
ahead of the coach. then turned, gave q
glance, and with feeling that beat sea

Rose Coghlan as "Peg Wellington"
Miss Rose Coghlan never received q
warmer welcome than she did last night
at the Academy of Music. She appeared
as Peg Wellington and inasmuch as
every theatre going person in this city
has seen Miss Coghlan it is scarcely nee
essary to say that those present saw good
acting. The charming actress was IN
good voice and spirits, and her interpre-
Iation of the difficult character of Peg
Wellington was excellent. The comedy
is SO old that every one knows it.
In the audience could be seen DR.. Cor
don, Commissioner Somers, Abe Post,
and. in fact, everyone well known about
the city.
Miss Coghlan was ably supported by a
good company. Among them were John
Z. Sullivan. who took the character of
Sir Charles Pomander; Henry Weaver,
Jr., as Ernest Vane; James Dunn as Col
ley Cibber, the poor author, and Miss
Helen Bancroft as Mabel Vane.

6y. Senator Werts showed the sim
Eerity Of the Democratic side by help
bag to put the Objectionable Republi-
Ban measure in the best shape it is ca
epable of assuming. Thus, when the
ZEAL fight on, it will not be
waged on technicalities. It will be a
lquare fight on principle. The Demo-
srats will stand steadfast for the bill
which guarantees the voter protec-
ion while he casts his ballot; they will
oppose the proposal to make the
State a m~onopolistic ballot distribut-
ng agency. The Republicans, prob
IDLY win prove their undying hostil-
ty to reform by urging all sorts of
vhims and ~crotchets, calculated to

people. by the time it is over, will be
