 Gentlenann-I desire to say most emphati- cally that Sw1FT's WILD CHERRY COUCH BALsAM is the best and suresu cure for a cough I ever saw. The grip left me with a a bottle of this Balsam and it gave relief immediately, and has been of the greatest benefit to me since. I commenced to improve at once. Other members of my family had about the same experience. I shall always keep it in the house hereafter, as would not be without it. Yours Respectfully, CHARLES F, CoRBIN.

 ABOUT

SPRING JACKETS & WRAPS
 It would be easy for us to make a catalogue of our stock that would fill almost a page of a newspaper, but it would be dry reading and not convey a suitable idea of the jaunty, tasty garments we have.
 The styles in which they are cut, and their neat and work manlike finish give them a greceful appearance, which is the delight of the wearers.
 We never owned a handsomer line of Stockinet Jackets, and the same can be said of our Corkscrews, Whip. cords, Ser ges and Diagonals.
 The fits are perfect and the sizes range from 30 to A.
 Although we have taken great pains to secure the best in the market, our prices are marked at the lowest cash basis, the same as everything else in our store.

Thinks O'Connor Will be Champion.

William O'Connor, the champion sculler Of
America, has sailed for Sydney and will be
here in a few weeks. fully prepared to meet our
best rover for the championship. Usually we
have had several false alarms as warning that
thu world-Deater was coming, but this time no
extra stir has been made. and no extra ex-
penses have been asked. O'Connor has gone
the right way to work, and is following in
dependent line of action that will meet with
general approval We are by no means ready
to receive the visitor, but he may be content to
wait a few months until our best man is found.
If O'Connor should press a challenge upon
Kemp am afraid our chances of holding the
title much longer would not be by any means
good. However, Matterson and Mclean meet
shortly, and the winner is expected to row
Kemp for the championship soon afterward.
What ]. Stansbury will do is not yet known.
but the outside public seem to have unbounded
faith in him. Certainly he Is a good man, but
by no means so wonderfully fast as some per.
sons think. We shall find it very difficult to
keep the championship in Australia but shall
have a big try. Some very exciting racing
should take place during the stay of the Ameri-
can in this colony.-Sydney Mail.

is unquestionably quite an essential factor
in the makeup of fashionably attired
lady. But how much more essential to
good looks, and especially to her enjoyment,
is good health, without which she cannot
look well, feel well or enjoy life properly
The trying ordeals which fashionable soci-
ETY. imposes on its devotees are enough to
severely test the physical strength and en-
durance of the most robust. Irregular and
late hours, over-rich and indigestible food,
late suppers, the fatigue of the ballroom,
the bad air Of the illy-ventilated, over
crowded theatre, are each, in themselves,
sufficient to upset the system and ruin the
health of the delicate and sensitive. Com
bined, they can hardly fail, if persisted in,
to seriously impair the health of the hardi-
est. Ladies generally possess less powers of
endurance than their male consorts, and SO
the sooner succumb to these deleterious in
fuences. They become pale, haggard and
debilitated, and constantly experience a
sense of lassitude- "t tired feeling" as
so many express is. The least exertion
fatigues them. Various neuralgic and other

Carroll and McAuliGe.
During the week there has been much written
and said regarding the recent battle between
Carroll and McAuliffe. Among the many things
said a statement has appeared to the effect
that Carroll is extremely anxious to fight Nc
Auliffe again i am not at all surprised at this
nor am surprised that men should be found
ready to put up LOCO in Carrolrs behalf. If
ever there was battle in which matters were
even the in question was one. In many
respects it reminds one of the contests between
John Gully and Bob Gregson. Before the de-
Gliding blow was struck Carrolls chances were
even brighter than those of McAulitfe. 1t
does not seem to me that McAuliffe could fight
any better than he did with Carroll, and think
the latter can improve on his last encounter.
At least he can use different tactics, and the
only way that McAuliffe can defeat Carroll is
by out-fghting. If this method can be coun-
teracted there is little to stop Carroll from win
ming. 1t may be that they'll meet again. and If
they do there will be nothing like two to one
on McAuliffe. Of course for choice 1 would
prefer the latter. providing both men were in
their best condition. Another contest between
them would be of more national interest than
battle between McAuliffe and Myer. None
of us have forgotten the latter's last show
against McAuliffe He must have a better
heart for fighting than he had then, or he had
better never think of getting into a ring again.

HUSTLING AT HOMESTEAD.
A New Baseball Association Formed and q
Great Team Promised.

A New Baseball Association Formed and n
Grsat Team Promised.
Baseball affairs, which have been very quiet
at Homestead during the winter, will now take
on a degree of activity that will be a surprise
to many. and result in giving the town a sub
stantial association and good, strong team.
A movement has been on foot for some time
to increase the interest in baseball and secure
solid backing; in other words, to place baseball
matters upon business basis. Several
preliminary meetings have been held sl
of persons known to be lovers of the game, and
good business men were invited to take stock
in a new organization. Everyone approached
is pleased with the project and have taken
dred stockholders could have been secured in
stead of ten. and although many will be disap-
pointed, yet it is deemed best not to have any
organization that would be unwieldy on &C
count of numbers.
On Thursday evening last meeting was
held IN the office of the Local NeUs
building and permanent organization
effected. The basis upon which the.new associ-
alton rests Is as follows: The capital stock is
s.. 900 divided into ten shares of 500 each, to
be held by ten stockholders. This moneyis to
leges of the Riverside Park Association, in
eQuipping the new club and the remainder will
go into the treasury as general fund for ex-
penses, etc.
The new association is composed of the fol-
lowing well-known gentlemen: Messrs. Harry
Kennedy, Charles w. Ashley, John Ratrigan,
John B. Jones, Jr., Hugh c. O'Don-
Reid, George w. Giles and NJ. P. SchooIey.
Mr.. Kennedy was elected President. Mr.
O'Donnell, Vice President: Mr.. Ashley, Treas
urer; Mr.. Schooley, Secretary. A manager
and captain are yet to be appointed. A COM
mittee on rules was appointed. which will de-
wise plan fo- the organization of club. 1t is
understood that preference will be given
Homestead players. and every ambitious youth
have as strong team as the State affords. The
next meeting will be held on Monday forenoon,
March 81. The new club Will have new uni
forms. Dates have already been secured with
leading teams, and the prospects of good sea-
son are very bright

There was never boats length difference be-

the way Cambridge spurted in the last half

dropped off leaving Oxford winners by nearly

Teemer Thinks Tint Several scullers Are

John Teemer, the sculler, was in the city yes

words to say about aquatic affairs. He said
ut seems to me that Kemp. Matterson, Bu-
bear and others are aiming at downing O'COn-
nor among them. Bubear cannot have any
otter object in challenging OConnor than help
ing tine Australians. At any rate it tseems clear
enough that they are all getting into combine
to prevent MIN from getting the championship.
If OConnor does get a race with any one in
Australia, and defeats man who has won race
for the so-called championship, think he will
come right home and make those who want to
row him follow him."
Teemer has heard nothing more about the
proposed big regatta at Duluth. He, however,
thinks that it will be go.
