Are any of the new-fangled

Are any of the new-fangled
washing compounds as good
as the old fashioned soap ?
Dobbins' Electric Soap has
been sold every day since 1860
and is to-day EXACTLY the same
in quality as then. 1t. NEVER
VARIES, and is ALWAYS the best.
Do your clothes last as they
used to7 If not, then you are
not using Dobbins' Electric.
That is sure. And if not,
wouldn't it pay you to use it
and save clothes s.? You are
the judge. After it has been
used and praised by a whole
generation of women, it surely
is not a new-fangled humbug
that it would be risky to try.
Nor is it an
IMITA- Of anything else. It stands
rlaN on its own merits, unap-

Church.
Madame Lissieretta Jones, better known
as the black Patti, comes to the Hyperion
tomorrow night under the management
of Major Pond. DR.. Lyman Abbott, of
Plymouth church, Brooklyn, after hearing
this songstress, said: ''She has a voics of
remarkable sweetness, compass and power
and created by her singing great enthu-
sissm in the audience. A certain interest
of course is added by her black skin, but
If she were the fsirest blonde nature ever
made, instead of the darkest brunette, her
voice would still be phenomenal"
With her will appear the celebrated Vel
ons sisters and Mrs. Dell Thomson, the
singing reader. The concert is given for
the benefit of the Bethel A. NJ. e. church.

DON'T LIKE THE SCHEME.

Mr.. Dowlingss Reasons why a Cor

for Idlers-Some Suggestions.
70 the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
was amused at scheme read in the
Evening Register for petition to the
court of common council for a corridor
over the sidewalk at the corner of Church
and Chapel streets, near the green. This
is all wrong. In the first place the ex-
psnse of such structure must necessari-
ly come out of the city treasury. Then
the awnings would be an obstruction to the
margin of our pretty green, and such q
structure would also be lettering place
for anybody and everybody under the
pretence of waiting for the cars. My
suggestion would be to have an extra car
waiting at such places where they are
most needed in stormy weather. Then,
as soon as the sought-for car arrives, the
waiting car can proceed on its way.
