The CITY of Paris Is All Right.

LONDON, April 1.-The following
statement. made by the agents of the
Inman steamship line, has been tele-
graphed from Queenstown: The flooded
Compartments of the steamer City. of
Paris have all been pumped dry. Close
examination shows that the bottom of
the vessel is uninjured and that all the
bulkheads are sound except those in the
engine room, which were somewhat
damaged from the pounding OF the
broken machinery. The port engines
are in working condition, and the
steamer has left Queenstown for Liver

Judgment the vessel was throughout
perfectly safe. and everything indicates
that she would have continued to float
indefinitely, as she was without sub
mersion or risk after the original dlsas-

overcome it by the popularity of their
candidate and the accesslcns TO their
ranks through the increase of the total

which am sure will call
forth equally as great enthusiasm

people ofthis city could be present to
hear the name that will be presented,
am sure they would add their plaud-
its, but as the united people are not
here, we will have to consider the
question among ourselves. The name
Of the gentleman whom / propose 10
presents one'that is familiar to every-
body in this community, whether he
has had occasion TO participate in pol
itical affairs or not, for tho simple
reason that he has at all times and in
all circumstances for the last ten wears
been prominently before the people,
not only in an official capacity but in
a personal capacity. He is a gentle
man who is so well known that to
mention his name is TO mention
that he is well known TO every
body. He Is known as an example TO
as for system in business by reason Of
his long term Of service, by reason OF
the fact that for great many years he
mas been the right hand man OF the
city government; one who, called to
any position, has been the right
individual; gentleman who has been
trusted, tried and true, a gentleman
VINO has been where he has held the

BETTER Than A HotL.monade.

In a recent article in the Youths
Companion, on "How TO cure a
cold," the writer advises a hot
lemonade to be taken at bed time.
Ii is n dangerous treatment, espec-
tally during the severe cold weather
Of the winter months, as IL opens the
pores Of the skin and leaves the
system in such condition that anoth-
er and much more severe cold Is
almost certain to ne contracted.
Many years constant use and the
experience Of thousands OF persons
Of all ages, has fully demonstrated
that there is nothing better for a
severe cold than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t acts in perfect
harmony with nature, relieves the
lungs, liquifies the tough tenacious
mucus, making it easier to expec
tOrate, and restores the system to a
strong and healthy condition. Fifty
