THE FORESTERS' BALL.
A Brilliant Scene in City Hall Last Eve
ming.

One of the largest gatherings ever in
City Hall was present at the Foresters'
Ball last evening. The interior of the
hall presented an attractive appearance
as it was most artistically decorated.
The stage was miniature forest of ever
greens from which peeped forth numer-
GUS animals of the chase. Chambers S
Orchestra was hid within this forest, and
the excellent music was doubly sweet
coming from the hidden source. A
stairway of evergreen fanked with tropi-
cal plants led from the centre of the
stage to the floor. Ropes of evergreen
hung from the centre chandelier radiated
in various directions to the balconies,
and great balls of evergreen depended
from the ceiling near the four corners of
the hall.
The dancing was preceded by an en-
ioyable concert.
Promptly at 9 o'clock the electric
lights were turned out and in the bril-
liant and varied colored lights shed from
two calciums in the rear balcony the
grand march started, the couples com
ing down from the stage by the stairway
in the centre to the floor. The march
was led by the floor director, Mr.. James
E. Butler, and Miss Sullivan of Bangor,
followed by 7. Henry Black and Miss
Black of Portland. Then came 292
couples by actual count.
Many elegant and beautiful dresses
were worn.
The floor management was perfect, the
immense throng being ably handled by
the following gentlemen:
Floor Director-James E. Butler
Assistant Floor Direct0rs-T. III. Black. Port
land E. c. Corners, Bangor; w. E. Callahan

| handkerchiefs run

everybody else's.
Handkerchiefs have a
way of getting lost, wear
ing out and disappearing
till the dozens have
dwindled to one and that
in the laundry. Prudent
providers buy handker-
chiefs at all times-when-
ever opportunity offers,
whenever an overloaded
market forces a bargain to
the surface.
Here's a case in point.
We have a larger stock
than we want to inventory,
more handkerchiefs than
the department can profit

rid of them quick, we've

la Grippe
How to Avoid Its Attacks and How to
Recover from Its Effects.

recover lFOIn 1tS EllcCtSs
AS la grippe is undoubtedly caused by some
micro-organism carried in and by the air, the
best general advice which can be given is to
avoid exposure in inclement weather, and keep
your strength up, your blood in good condi-
tion and your digestive organs in regular ac-
ton These last three conditions can best be at
tanned by taking Hoods Sarsaparila, which SO
happily meets the requirements that with its
protection you
Need Not Fear La Grippe.
1t has been wittily said that la grippe ..keeps
YOU sick fifteen days after you are WELL" so
Slowly is strength recovered. Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla has been found of inestimable value in re-
storing desired vigor after la grippe and also
after scarlet fever, dipftheria, pneumonia,
and other prostrating diseases. The system
finds in
Hoods SarsaparilIa
the building up qualities so much needed,
through the lfe-giving properties it imparts to
the blood.

Supt Hamilton of the press or banking out room of the Scovill Manufacturing company has seven presses at work turn ing out seven tons of copper and nickel blanks for t9ie United States government daily, the tail end of a big order from the mint officials. The presses which cut out the blanks for pennies throw out six at a time and the nickel blanks are made in blocks of five. The rapidity with which these presses work may be dem- onstrated by the fact that 5000 of the lit- tie round disks, which, when officially stamped with the insignia of the Unit ed States, are money, are blanked out every minute. It takes IA pennies to make pound and 90 nickels. They are shipped in patches of 900 pounds and nearly million and a half blanks are rolled out Of the yard every day. For several weeks, the company has had night and day gangs working all the time and turning out coppers and nickels by the ton, but at present the great demand for coins of small denominations has been supplied and an average of seven tons daily seems to satisfy the capacious and greedy maw of the governmental Wa terbury American.

The common impression that Horace Greeley died heart broken by his presi- dential defeat is denied in the February Ladies' Home Journal by his daughter, Mrs Gabrielle Greeley Clendenin. 1T nev- CT could trace any signs of disappoint- ment at the presidential campaign going against him, but rather quiet and hu- morous philosophy" It was her moth- er's death, Mrs Clendennin says, that killed her father. aFrom that time, he could not sleep and he seemed not to care to eat. The handspring of his home had been broken. The heart that could love and work for others could break when the highly strung chords were strained too far. He had no tears to shed at his wife's funeral. But, as he turned away from the simple. plot at Greenwood, he said, That vault will be opened for me in less than month"; And it was not the first of his prophesies to be sadly full filled''
