PUT UP AND Put Down.

To put down the old-fashioned, huge, bitter
pills, that griped so and made such disturb
ance internally, is more than a wise man
will do. He will not put up with such un-
necessary suffering. He uses DIR. Pierce's
pleasant Pellets. As a liver pill they are
unequaled, Smallest, cheapest, easiest to
take. Put up in vials, Theoretically sealed,
hence always fresh and reliable, which is
not true of the large pills in wood or PASTE
board boxes. As ga gentle laxative, only one
pellet for dose. Three TO four of these
tiny, sugar. granules act pleasantly
and painlessly as a cathartic.

DRAWING TO A CLOSE.

the Exciting Point.
york and McClatchy Tied With Payen
and Bliss for First PIace-The
Other Games.

The handbalI tournament was resumed
at the Sacramento Athletic Club last even
ing and some interesting games were
played.
The first sets were between Payen and
Bliss and Flint and Dwyer. The first
game was an unusually interesting enc.
For time it looked as if Flint and
Dryer would beat their crack rivals out,
and the enthusiasm ran high. But Payen
and Bliss got down to hard work toward
the close and snatched victory from de-
feat The score was q to 10. The second
game was not so interesting. Payen and
Bliss went in determined from the start,
and gave their opponents little show.
The score this time resulted q to in ia
vor of Payen and Bliss.
Pope and Maloney were next pitted
against york and McClatchy, another
heavy team. Maloney and Pope did
some clever work, but they could not
overcome the heavy work of their OPP
ponents. The latter won the first game
by a score of q to 3. In the second game
Pope and Maloney gave their opponents
run for their money" as the saying
goes, but they lost, the score being II to
10 in favor of \ oerk and McClatchy.
Berger and German played Stanley and
Nathan two games, and these contests
aroused more enthusiasm than the pre-
ceding ones. Stanley and Nathan played
wonderfully good games, and, although
they lost, they won unstinted applause
from the audience. The scores were
2l-10 and 2l-S.

Probably the greatest crowd of people
that ever assembled at the Plaza was that
which thronged there last evening to listen

text is insufferable and twaddle. But the
actors are clever specialists. Mr.. Fergu-
son is one of the best examples of eXtrav-
agant representation of the IriShman

are fourteen people in the company.
Mons. Delaur is fine baritone, and with
Mile. De Brimfort gives in costume oper-
attic selections excellently. Mile. De
BrImfort is equally good as con-
tralto in humorous songs and as q
