4 Growing Advertising AGENCY.

The business of those well known ad-
vertising agents, Messrs. c. H. Guild &
Co, 252 Washington street, has so IN
creased of late that they have found it
necessary to extend their premises by TAX
ing all the space on the floor on which
they have been located. All partitions
have been removed and a large, light
office, excellently arranged for the trans
action of their business and extending tie
entire length and breadth Of the building,
is the result. The business of this firm
is Of steady grow ia and is of such a nature
always retaining old patrons and con
stantly securing new ones-that the time
is near at haud when it will equal, If not
out strip that of any other agency of the
kind IN this city. The head of the firm
Mr.. Guild, is thoroughly practical ad-
vertising agent of much experience. And
in the placing Of advertising for many of
the most prominent advertisers in New
England his work has been 10th conscien
tious and effective and to the entire salts
action of his patrons. He is surrounded
by well trained corps of assistants, some

The Drug Clerk Scared.

He is young drug clerk AMI he lives
not over q Thousand miles from Augusta.
The aforesaid drug clerk Is very timid,
especially in the night time; in fact, his
boon companions say he is even afraid of
his own shadow. He Is also dreadfully
afraid if in the dark, and it was on a
dark night last week that a dark chapter
in somewhat humorous story occurred
1t was nearly midnight, all was quiet
and serene. The young druggist had
been to see his best girl, and on the way
home met two of his intimate friends,
who, however left him ON Water street
The young man, with his mind full of
the composition of quinine and tincture
rhubarb, was plodding on his way
When, 10! two masked forms with cooked
revolvers met his gaze. In loud stentorian
voices came the words: Hands up, your
money or your lifo" The clerk was
frightened, scared and, it is said, CD his
knees begged to be allowed to go his
way.
The two men took eff their masks,
threw their revolvers, (Which. by the way,
were found to be only toy pistols, and
the druggist found they were his two
friends whom he left but 20 minutes be-
fore. Every effort was made to keep the
episode quiet but everything of this nature
always leaks out, sooner or later. When

young man is employed, If the matter is
mentioned and you are thirsty, you may
have your thirst quenchod by glass of
sparkling soda, if you will agree to keep
the matter quiet.

FOOT BALL At CONY.
Prospects Excellent for Team That Will Give
Others Lively Tussle.

"Will Cony High school have foot
ball team, this fall, asked Journal re-
porter, yesterday, of 81. L. Weber, the
captain of last years team. In reply
Mr.. Webber said:
Yes, Cony will have a corking good
team next year, which think will be the
best one that was ever organized in the
school. Only three members of last
years team have graduated, and those
who enter from the grammar schools
will be good foot ball players.
"Cony was handicapped last year by
nine of the eleven players leaving school.
tell you, when nine players go from a
team and the vacant places are filled by
new men. it makes quite a difference.
You see, this year, kittredge, the right,
Sturgis left tackle and myself, left half
back are the only ones to leave the school,
Charles May of '97 has been elected cap
tain, and as he has played full back OH ths
team ever since his entrance into the
school, he is eminently qualified to get
the most possible work out of the men.
1.-The alumni association will probably
contribute money to defray the expenses
Of a trainer and new suits for the players.
Fred r. Written, Cornell '97, and captain
Of the '92 team will coach the team and
| will be assisted by Charles S. Pettingill,
Bowdoin, '9S. who was captain in '92.
Both men have been studying the tactics
use by the players In the two colleges
and with their knowledge of the game,
the team can be greatly benefited.
"The eleven will probably be made up
as follows: Barrow, centre; Savage,
left guard; Jones, right guard; Jackson,
| right tackle; Parsons, left tackle; Gan
nett, right end; Pratt, left end; GRAHAM,
quarter back; Sanborn, right half back
Poor, left half back; May, full back.
Jones, who enters from the William r.
Smith grammar school is strapping
big fellow, and SO is Jackson who comes
from Winthrop. l tell you, any opposing
team will find 1t no snap when they
try to go through Cony's line.
1.-The team will begin to practice about
the middle of August so that they may
be in good condition when the time comes
to play. The members of the eleven have
the greatest faith in Captain May and
will heartily cooperate with him in max
ing Cony's foot ball team for 80 great
success.
1.-THE time is yet coming when the flag
of victory will float over Cony High
school. Cony won the championship in
1891 by defeating the doughty warriors
from the Brunswick delta, and there is no
reason why Portland or Bangor with
their long retinue of coachers and
whippers in shall not this year succumb
to Cony's foot ball braves. -

A New Ball Team.

enthusiasm in this city is guilty Of the
grossest fabrication. With the policemen,
plumbers, blacksmiths and divers minor
organizations in Augusta and vicinity,

Dearborn, short stop; M. o. Savage, third
base; Marcus T. Merrill, right field; Bert
Murray, center field; P. Eugene Suprey,

ger. A game will be arranged with the

WITHOUT STORES.
Committee on City Building Vote in Favor Of
That Plan.

The city council committee on city
building met with Architect Spofford,
Monday afternoon, and finally decided in
favor of the plan which doesn't provide
for stores in the city building. There
were several prominent citizens present
who freely offered opinions. Necessarily
this will eliminate any income that other
wise might be derived from rent of stores,
but members of the committee, who had
talked with some of the heaviest tax pay
ers, said they found good deal of opposi-
tlon to the city entering the field of COM
petition as landlord and that on the
whole the people would be better pleased
to have the building devoted wholly to
city purposes. Then there was some donbt
whether the city, under the conditions by
which It became possessed of the land. can
legally rent stores thereon.
While the last plans have not been de-
cided upon in all details, so much of them
as pertain to the basement have been ac-
cepted, and Mr.. Spofford will return the
lattor part of the week for specifications
for the foundations.
AS now proposed, the hall will be larger
than at first contemplated, being 6sx90,
with a stage 1896. and large galleries so
that there will be seating capacity for
5000 people.
The main entrance to the building will
he in the center of the front on Cony
street. This front will be 104 feet in
length. This entrance will lead down a
few steps into the basement corridor and
ND few steps to the first floor. The can
didates for the police court will be afforded
entrance on the rear The court room rs
now planned will be commodlous place,
aox24. Above 1t is to be the common
council chamber of the same size, and to
the north of that the aldermen's room,

QUlNINE PILLS.
Their Sale and Use Has Increased LARGELY ia
Past Few Years.

1.-The sale Of quinine has increased in
late years to such an extent, said drug
gist, yesterday, in conversation with a
journal man, that it has become staple
article In nearly every drug store 1t is
being bought in bulk in such large quanti
Ties as would surprise you Quinine has
gained popular reputation by some
means or other OF being sort of cure all.
You can hardly imagine the various H.
nesses which people are now using it to
remedy. Some are foolish in the extreme !;
how the customers get such ideas of qui-
mines efficacy in treatment of some sick
nesses is more than I can say The sale
OF the drug has been increasing rapidly
during the last few years. The two grain
pill Is the one that sells the most. The
price, of course, has declined greatly in
the last decade on account of the duty be-
ing taken off and the great increase in Its
manufacture. About 10 years ago
remember it sold for IS an ounce; now 1t
can be bought in open market in 100-ounce
lots for 20 cents, and at one time 1t was
down as low as Is cents.
People in using quinine should be
careful that they get good grade of the
article or that they are not being fooled
altogether In many cases an inferior
product of the cinchona bark, from which
quinine Is made, is substituted for the real
article. 1t is little better than cinchona
bark, and has not nearly third of the
virtue of quinine. This Is called Gin
chonidia, and can be bought for from IL
to IA cents an ounce, just little more
than the bark itself 1t is so good an i'm
itation that the customer is unable to tell
the difference, except that the results will
not be tho same People should be care
full to get the pure drug, and the only
guarantee they can have is the reputation
of the man who sells it to them.
"Quinine pills must be taken by the
wholesale in somo families. For instance
there is man out In Roadfield who buys
them in lots. You would suppose he was
going into the drug business, but, as a
fact, he only uses them for his family
Winter, whom people are catching colds,
is the best season for the sale of quinine
although tho sale keeps up during the en-
tire year. A damp, murky day is sure to
bring the quininc flend to realize that he
needs some of his favorito, remedy. so
the sales on these days are always large"

INDIVIDUAL INSTRUCTION.
The Encyclopedia Britannica a Nine Of vsIu.
able Information and an invaluable Sell
instructor.

Instructions given individually are
recognized 70 be of much more value and
to be productive of vastly more good than
class or collective instruction. No two
persons minds are of the same compost
tion, and in class instruction the mind of
quick perception is retarded by the less
perceptive ones IN the class, and similarly
the quicker minds hurry the slower ones
to the detriment Of the latter. By the
system of individual instruction all this
is obviated and done away with, and
each different person progresses in the
gaining of knowledge Just in proportion
to his abilities to grasp the principles in
volved.
The cost of individual instruction has
thus far been too great and many a person
has been deprived of its benefits because
of this fact, and has been compelled to
take one-half loaf by class instruction.
All this is now changed, and no person
is SO poor he cannot obtain the very best
and most excellent individual instruction
in existence by purchasing the edition of
the Encyclopedia Britannica, which is
now offered In twenty-fiv large quarto
volumes at the exceedingly favorable
terms of only ten cents a day! just think
of it, An insignificant sum, but in the
aggregate will secure this invaluable
mine of information and instruction.

A splendid herd OF Jerseys that av-
