A Few Words Of What These Eminent Special
ISIS Say Of Catarh and Its
Consequences.

Catarrh, as generally known, is dis
eased condition of the mucous membrane
of the nose and throat. The disease is gen
orally brought on by frequent repetition OF
colds, consequent upon our changeable eli
mate If not properly treated it leads to
various unhealthy conditions, such as i'm
paired hearing, loss Of the sense Of smell,
weakened vision bronchial affection, often
times terminating in consumption. The
stomach and intestines become diseased.
III smelling discharges from the nose and
ears result. In short, the whole system
becomes affected.
II has been estimated that about nine
out of every ten Of the adult population Of
our climate suffer from the disease This
frequently gives rise to the popular belief
that the disease cannot be cured. Yetwith
proper treatment the patient can be cured
in a comparatively short time. The pre-
ceding shonld prove conclusively that we
make no false claims when we say that
Drs. Copeland & Bells treatment absO-
lutely cures Scores of patients can so
testify. This week we add the following:

New York, March 14.-Champion
Jake Schaefer's announcement of his
willingness to enter the big tournament
at fourteen-inch balk-line that Maurice
DAILY suggested as a feature for May
has stirred up great interest in this
city. All the professionals and anna
teurs are delighted at the prospect that
Schaeier's decision insures another
great treat for billiard lovers. The
willingness of the champion and Slos-
son and Daily TO put up money out Of
their own pockets 10 bring about tour
ney renders it probable that the Bruins
wick Company will put up another
purse TO insure the success of the un-
dertaking.
Maurice DAILY has volunteered TO take
the management of the tourney, thus
relieving the company OF the bother
and worry of looking after the details.
Mr.. a. F. Troescher has always heen
liberal in patronizing billiards, and
billiard players express the hope that
he will not be backward on this occa-
sion in encouraging an undertaking
that is certain TO benefit manufacturers
and room keepers and entertain the
public. The last tourney that Mr..
DAILY managed was the memorable
Irving hall exhibition, which went on
record as the most successful both
financially and artistically, that had
ever been held in the metropolis

The STRONGEST Man in the World.

Louis Cyr, who holds the champion
ship at heavy weight lifting, has again
proved he is the strongest man in the
world by accomplishing two unprece-
denied featS of strength. He lifted
with the aid of rope, two 16O-pound
dumbbells with man balanced on
them. the aggregate weight being SIG
pounds. He raised the bells and the
man two feet from the floor. He ac-
complished this wonderful feat with the
index finger of the right hand.
He also beat the record for the hand
and back lift by raising platform
weighing POI pounds on which were
20 men. The combined weight was
$50 rounds. Cyr lifted this weight
with his hands and back.

poltan sporting writer's a week or two
ago, it seems to have Sturdily outlived
this criticism. A good many sports
think that the town is ripe for such an
exhibition, and they say that Albert
would have made money out of it if he
had't been too lavish in his expenditures.
As sample of his extravaganza it may
be noted that Bob FitzsimmonS, who with
Jennie Houghton, the skater, will start
the contestants, is to be paid $500 for it.
But when James c. Kennedy took the
post of assistant manager of the walk
he cut down reckless expenditures. He
was associated with the late Billy
O'Brien in all the old contests from the
ground up. His tact carried the project
through its crisis, and may get most OF
Albert's money back, perhaps.
