Oh. J. E. Jordan. Seattle. Wash, Dear
Sr--I have been taking your medicine
seven weeks, and it gives me the greatest
pleasure to tell you and every one else who
will listen how much good they have done
me. When think of what have suffered
and how many doctors have tried their
skill on me to no earthly good, how they
have filled me with morphine, choral and
other poisons until was nearly crazy, and
how many hundreds of dollars my poor
husband has paid out in the last three
years. before we heard of your wonderful
cures, am astonished to see myself today
able to go all over the city, able to do my
Homework and after busy day to lie
down and have whole nights good sleep.
Dear doctor, my husband and l are very
thankful to you for what your medicines
have done for me.

SEATTLE, Wash. June 9, 1891.

SEATTLE, Wash, June 8, 1891.
Our baby was very sick and we tried
several physicians in town. None of them
seemed TO know what the matter was. She
couldn't stand; couldn't play; it was diff
cult for her to get her breath; she had
choking spells from the time she was
months old; would choke every five min
utes during the night, and was subject to
commissions and muscular contraction.
We had about given up hope of her getting
well, when we took her to DR.. Jordan, and
in very short time she commenced to i'm
prove until all these symptoms have dis
appeared entirely, and she has not had a
sign of them for some time.
1t gives me great pleasure to make this
statement, so that others who have chill
dren that are i'll may know where to take
them for treatment.

Cured in hospitals sui public institu-
tious
The deaths by classes were as follows:
Zymotic, 10; constitutional 30; local, 10;
developmenUal, s; violence, D.
The principal causes of death were:
Group, 2; diphtheria, 6; consumption, lo;
diarrhoral. l: typhoid fever, 7; Malarial
fever, /, pneumonia, IL; congestion Of
he lungs, |. bronchitis, 4: Kidney dis

Births reported: "a white males, 28
white females; 18 cOlored males, ii te-
males. Marriages reported: "a white;
z colored. SLiil-births reported: white;
3 colOred.
There were twenty more deaths in the
week. The increase is mainly due TO dis
eises OF the respiratory organs. There
wee nineteen deaths from consumption
as against twelve for the former report,
and the morality from acute lung dts
eases running up to sixteen as compared
with nine IL the same period. Diphther-
/ tic eases fell from nine to SIX, whlie
deaths from typhoid lever increased from
four TO seven. With the exception oil
( those from diphtheria, no death from
other contagious diseases occurred, al
though there may be sporadic casts OF
whooping cough and measles in remote
parts of the city.
The mortality for the month just clos
ing about equals that of the November Of
last year, when tue deaths numbered
three hundred aud eighty and the death
rate was IS. "a. Taking into considera'
ton the marked change IN temperature
aud other meteorological conditions, the
civ has cause for cOmgratulatiOn over the
absence OF any epidemic thIeatning the
general health.

FORMAL OPENING OF THE
SOCIAL SEASON.
SOCIAL LEADERS OUT IN FULL FORCE
"A BAL-MAsQUE-THE FoRTU-

LADIES AND UNIQUE Cos
TUNES, ETC.

Those who were fortunate enough
to be sin the swim" at the for
NAL opening of our social season
Friday evening the 4th, inst, GER
tainly has the sympathy of the
BEE. Society bells and beauxs
were out in full force at Beneficial
Hall in 18th street, n. W., on the
occasion of a grand bal-masque.
There were also present, d num-
Der of married couples who were
honored with invitations. The
evening being inclement, a large
number of vehicles were IN de-
maud. A few minutes after nine
O'Clock the guest began to arrive,
and the assistant janitOr of the
hall whose services had been en-
gagged for the purpose, found him
self hard pressed in superintend-
ing tbs conveyances and escorting
the guest to the entrance of the
hall. The committee of reception
consisting of Miss Louise A. Smith,
Mrs. Walter ;. Thomas, and Ma
dame Estren made every one feel
comfortable and homelike.
At 80 O'Clock the Italian or.
chestra under Prof. PrallO began
the march "Social Greeting" after
which the dances commenced.
The scene was beautiful ole, and
the affair truly enjoyable. Freund
the celebrated French caterer
furnished the supper. The com
pany dispersed at 2 o'clock, after
having enjoyed the pleasures of a
delightful social gathering. Among
those who appeared in costumes

The irrepressible ruffie is still every.
where to the fore.
The rougher and coarser the material
the more fashionable it is considered. .
Coral amber and garnet are all worn
as Jewelry now, and the older fashioned
Che pieces look, the prettier they are
considered.
Boots for ladies have suarish toes, a
hlgh Vamp and straight edge to the but
tonhOle.
There is no end to the styles of dressy
neck-wear, but the most have chiffon or
Monssellne de sole as the most potent
factor.
Pink is the most fashionable tint of
the season 10 Paris, touch of the favor
lie hue appearing in almost every item

Bellskirts will be popular all the season,
though it is probable they will be shorter

THE SINISTER LAWYER.

The clock is on the strike of
eight
The "shyster lawyer" says, tits
late
And l must hasten to the court
For fear my rivals who report
There every morn before this time
Seize on some petty fees of mine.
His glasses, silk hat and cane
and gloves
Are soon in place by rapid moves
And down the street the "sOlon"
sails
As proud as Albert Prince of
Wales,
He reaches court and takes his
post
Where he can see and be seen
most.
A victim comes: MADAM, how
do?'
"Tis been some time since | saw
you :"
''Sir, you mistake, tits the first
day
That ever l was down this way"
"Why mere today, pray you tell ?
Any friends back in the cell?"
my little boy had mishap,
The police caught him shooting
scrap"
Five dollars is the fine they say,
| have it here and want to pay,
Where is the clerk that takes
the fine?
| de not care to waste more time"
"No, madam, lisa serious charge
Few other crimes are half so
large,
l hate to tell so sad a tale,
Your boy will get six months in
Jail.
Give me the V, I'll take his case
And guarantee his prompt re-
lease.
Poor foolish creature that she be
She lets this ''shyster" get her V.
The case before Judge Kimball
called
The 'shyster' argued, plead and
bawled.
Judge doomed the boy to certain
fate,
Increased the fine from five to
eight.
The mother with a mournful face
Retired slowly from the place
Wiser far than when she came
And yet she thought it quite a
shame,
That through the "shyster" and
