CustoIner-Yes, and one that won't re-

Dealer-Heml
Customer-And yet it must be strong

and not leave it swinging open a couple Of
inches.
Dealer-I see.
Customer-And when the door closes
don't want it to ram shut like catapult,

Dealer-Yes; you want one that will
bring the door all the way TO, and yet do it
gently.
Customer-That's the idea. But don't
want any complicated arrangement that
requires skilled mechanic to attend to it.
Dealer-No, of course not. You want
something simple, yet strong and effective.
Customer-Thut' the talk; something
that can be put on or taken off easily; some

A Runaway Hack.

Yesterday afternoon an exciting
runaway occurred on Congress avenue.
The driver had just mounted to his
box, near the corner Of Pecan street,
when he dropped his glove. He
stopped to pick it up, but lost his bal
ance and fell to the ground. Unfor-
tunately just at that moment the
horses took frighj at the electric car
and dartsd madly up the Avenue,
carrying the one passenger, a gentle
man, who jumped out without being
hurt. The horses turned east when
Eighth street was reached and ran
against post in front of Hon. John
bowels, damaging the hack consider
ably.

Yesterday was St. Patrick's day and
all true Irishmen celebrated it, in one
way or another. Mr.. James Donovan,
a genial son of the Emerald Isle and
most courteous gentlemen, had sent
him a few days ago from old lrelap'
a few sprigs of shamrock, which re-
vived tender memories and provoked
patriotic emotions. He distributed the
sprigs among his friends yesterday and

Es apades.

Yesterday afternoon John L. Sulli-
van made arrangements to appear in
police courts once more. Truth to
tell John had been Gushing up" DUR
ing the day and his temper was none
the best. At the close of the matt
nee yesterday, as he came off the
sage, one Henry Day, a scene shifter
Tor the opera house, was standing il
one OF the wings and John, without
provocation, it is alleged, gave him a
resounding slap on the side of the
head, with some parenthetical clauses
thrown in. Henry, naturally, did not
like such treatment, even if it
did come from the worlds
champion, and for several moments
things were lively. The scene of bat
tie was transferred to the alley and in
the course of the forcible arguments
Henry hit a horse with one of the
rocks he was handling so promiscu-
ously, when further proceedings were
stopped by the arrest of both parties
The cases are set for this morning in

Those who heard the delightful ser
mons of Rev. DR.. Morrison last Sunday
will be glad to learn that he has con-
sented to remain over and preach at

that he would preach on Wednesday
evening, but unavoidable eircum-

services in the church at that time.
So it is postponed to Thursday at 7 40

DIR. HARTMAN ON CAVARRK.
The Fancy Of Catarrh Cures.

The fatal mistake which so many physi-
clans, of all schools, make IN the treat
ment of catarrh is, that it is regarded as
local disease and not a systemic disease.
If the patient has catarrh of the nese or
throat, sprays and gargles are used;if the
catarrh is in the larynx or bronchial tubes
inhalepts are used; if the catarrh is in the
stomach, medicine is swallowed; if the ca.
tarrh ia in the bladder or urethra, injec-
lions a. Iesorted to; hoping in each case
to cure this disease by applying the medl.
cine TO the exact spot where the disease Is
located.
While it is a fact that sprays, inhalents.
garges and injections are often helpful in
the treatment of case of catarrh, they
can never accomplish cure. Catacrh is a
disease of the system which manlfests it
self in some mucous membrane, oftenest
of the nose, throat, bronchial tubes or
lungs, but frequently of the stomach and
bowels, and again of the urinary and sex
ual organs. A persi- tent use of Pu.ru ma
according to the directions on the bottle
will remove the catarrhal faint from tue
system, after which the diseased part,
wherever located, will soon recover.
That this is the correct theory of the treat
ment of catarrh is amply proven by the
multitude of te- stimonias that are con-
stantly pouring in from all parts of the
a1Rntry.
Uatarrh in all stages and varieties, colds,
coughs, bronchitis. Ia grippe, catarrhal
dyspepsia, all yield. surely and perma-
nently, to the curative Virtues OF Peru ma.
John B. Risley, of Merrimac, Wis,
writes, July 3, 1882 Il received in De-
cember last one of DR.. Hartman's Treat
Use on catarrh,' and after careful perusal
of it concluded to give his remedy a
trial as was afflicted with nasal catarrh.

weight the first month, with steady in
crease in the health and vigor that has
been permanent so far, with but very little
symptom of catarrh left. His remedies

The Greatest Seaport south Of Baltimore

The Greatest Seaport south or Baltimore.
The cit, of Arkansas Harbor is the
coming city of Texas. No new place
in the United States ever attracted 30
much public attention, or has been
the subject of so many favorable press
comments and editorial notices from
the leading metropolitan journals Of
the country as the city Of Arkansas
Harbor. The reason for this is be-
cause of the fact that it has been rec
ognized by the shrewdest bust
ness men and managers of the
trunk railroad lines of the west
that a great city would
be built on the Texas coast in ODE
dience to the commands of commerce.
A deep water port on the Texas coast
means greater annual saving OF
wealth to the people residing west Of
the Mississippi river than is often
gained by war of conquest by the
mightiest armies in the world.
A committee, composed of expert
fnanciers and business men of highest
talent, appointed by the great deep
water convention held at Denver in
1888, after months of careful research
and labor, reported that the. saving in
freights by reaching tidewater on the
Texas coast with surplus products OF
the west, instead of the Atlantic sea-
board, would amount to $l2O,OOO,O 900
per aunum. There is volume of bu
siness amounting to $500 100000 an
