Last year:
Her eyes were rheumy, and weak and
red,
Her breath-yOu could smell 1t afar,
She had ringing and dizziness oft in
her head,
And the cause of it all was catarrh.
This year:-
Her breath Is sas sweet as the new

Her eyes are as bright as a star,
And the cause of the change, she is
ready to say,
Was the DIR. Sage's Cure for Catarrh.

September weather.

The hot wave has at last been broken
and most delightful change in temper
ature. No month of September for many
years back can show such a record of
heat as the present one. Its general
average will go considerably above the
mean normal temperature Ten days of
the month, however, have ranged from
one to ten degrees cooler than the nor
NAL temperature. Until the sixteenth of
the month the temperature was at and
below the normal, except on the second
and third day, when 1t was slightly above
the normal temperature. On the 10th of
the month the warm spell began, and
continued up to Tuesday. The following
comparison of records of temperature
for September of other years is of in
terest: The highest temperature of Sep
TENDER, 1889, was on the LIST, S4o, and on
the 9Th. $50. The remainder of the month
was cold enough for winter clothing.
The warmest day of September, 1888,
was on the 18th, when it was S5 50. On
the 9TH of September, 1887, 1t was 81 80
on the 9Th so and on the 9th 73o. In
September 1886. there were two days.
the 18th and 2Sth, when the temperature
registered 90o. Last year there was also
a great departure from the normal tenn
perature though there were but a few
hot days.

ImnortantS,a

Land Commissioner j. Thomas Scharf
held court here yesterday In the land of
fee. and heard one of the most compli-
Gated and important cases ever tried In
the land Office. The questions involved
are new, and there are no decisions in
the land Office or the Court of Appeals
bearing on the points raised In 1875
James b. Derrickson, Edward j. Der
riekson and John r Purnell applied TO
the land Office for q warrant, and had a
survey for 121 acres of vacant land on
Synnepuxent Beach, situated between
Synnepuxent bay and the Atlantic ocean
about six miles from Ocean City. in Wor-
cester county. Since the latter pace has
developed into q summer resort. land in
this locality has become quite valuable.
The land in dispute has grant of about
one mile and quarter on Synnepuxent
bay, and is eagerly sought after as a
ducking fishing and oyster shore. Messrs.
Derrickson g. Co.. failed to obtain a
grant for this vacant land, ard II remain
ed in the possession of the State until
1890. when DR.. A j. Corning. of Balti-
more. made application to the land office
for grant of the same, which Messrs.
Derrickson g. Co, caveated for many
causes. At the trial of the case yesterday
several important papers were submit
ted by the various parties In interest TO
show title, and much evidence was offer
ed. The case was warmly contested at
every point by the large array of coun-
sci employed Commissioner Scharf will
decide the case in few days. Owing to
its importance 1t will very likely be APP
pealed to the Coart of Appeals.

Murray Hill Lot Sales.

Operations at Murray Hill are pro-
crossing finely. Building has COM
menced, and soon the fine blocks
and handsomely laid off avenues
of that beautiful locality will be
in fact as well as in name part
of the busy, bustling city of An
napolis. The proximity of Muir
ray Hill to the very center of the city
gives it incompatible advantages for
residences. Its direct communica-
tons, which, when fully opened up
as they will soon be, viii form the
extension of Franklin street, also
cross streets into West street, right
into the heart of the city, close to
the railroad depots, banks, churches,
hotels &C., all make Murray Hill i'm
trinsically valuable and prospectiyely
the attractive part of the city. The
blocks have been skillfully and accu-
rately laid off and the corners care
fully designated with the names of
streets by means of distinguishing
finger boards. Everything betokens
a rapid sale of lots there. Mr.. Mel
vim has taken hold of this new pro-
ject and is determined to make mat
tiers lively there this fall. The lots
are now opened for inspection and sale,
and the scale of prices has been fixed,
so that everything is ready for bust
ness. A handsome new plat of Murray
Hill is completed and has been
placed for examination at Mr.. Mel
wins Office, No. As Gloucester street,
and he will be glad to show and ex-
plain this to purchasers as well as to
exhibit the property. These lots
will meet ready sale, so it is best
for those who want to buy to make
their selections without delay.

The Result OF Merit

When anything stands test of fifty
years among discriminating people
Ike the Americans. 1t is pretty good evi.
dence that there is merit somewhere
The value Of a medicine is best proved
by its continued use from year TO year
by the same persons and families. as well
as by steady increasing sale. Few, II
any. medicines have met with such con
tinued success and popularity as has
marked the introduction and progress of
Brandreth's Pills which, after 0 trial OF
over fifty years, are conceded to be the
safest and most effective purgative and
blood purifier introduced to the public
That this is the result of merit, and
that Brandreth's Pills actually perform
all that is claimed for them, is conclu-
sively proved by the fact that those who
regard them with the greatest favor are
those who have used them the longest.
Brandreth's Pills are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain or
sugar coated.
