LADIES PLAN A SURPRISE
THEY. NJ. C. A. GYMNASIUM CLASS
GIVE THEIR INSTRUCTOR
A BICYCLE,
PROFESSOR SCHENCK THE FAVORED
ONE-AN EXCITING BASKET
BALL TOURNAMENT.

Professor Schenck, the Instructor in
gymnastics at the Young Mems Christian
Association, had honors thrust upon him
last night. They were unexpected honors,
too, for if the professor had been told an
hour before that he would soon be riding
around the gymnasium on highly decor
ated bicycle, with the applause of large
audience ringing in his ears, he would
have laughed the idea to scorn.
1t was ladies' night and the gymnasium
girls had planned surprise for their in
structor. After their march and dumbbell
drill, in which about eighty of them took
part, they all formed in line and then a
bicycle, looking as if it were competing for
a prize in corso of flowers, was brought
in, and Secretary H. J. Mccoy presented it
to Professor Schenck with neat and APP
propriate speech. The recipient of the
present from the ladies' class was too much
overcome to make speech in reply, but
he got on his fiower-coyered wheel and
rode around.
When this little interlude had been dis
posed of, the gymnastic exhibitions went
on as usual on Ladies' Night. The senior
class gave some interesting exercises on
buck, and the two little Masters Duck and
Schenck quite brought down the house
with their tumbling. In the parallel bar
exercises e. Fleisher, Edward Speaker and
A. Hetrich performed feats of great agil-
ity, and the pyramid exercise, with its spice
of danger, won all the applause that pos
sibility of broken bones generally does
arouse.
The basketball tournament was osten-
sihly between the Business Men and the
Twentieth-street Branch, but some adven-
turous visitors became mixed up in several
of the scrimmages. The fact was that the
gallery was too small to accommodate the
army of ladies present, and the Christian

though there will be no parade, will be
conducted on the usually elaborate basis
which has prevailed in the years gone by.
Besides the church services there will be
balls, banquets and literary entertainments.
On the evening of st. Patrick's day the
knights of st. Patrick will give a grand
banquet to invited guests at the new Del
monico restaurant, ITO O'Farrell street
The large new banquet hall will be bril-
iantlv illuminated with incandescent cleo
trio lights. The hall will be decorated with
American and Irish flags and evergreens.
Between 100 and 200 persons will sit down
at the table. jeremiah Deasy will preside
at the banquet. The principal speakers OF
the evening will be Senator George G.
j. F. Sullivan and j. J. Dwyer.
On Saturday evening, the 10th inst, the
Irish population of San Francisco will give
themselves up to social gatherings. All
care will be put aside for thirty-six hours,
and as much pleasure as can be gained
will be sought for. The two principal
gatherings for Saturday evening will be
monia Hall The Knights of the Red
Branch will give the ball at Odd Fellows
Hall, and they intend to make it superior
to any of their former annual balls. The
Ancient Order of Hibernians will act in
connection with the Knights of the Red
Branch, and will assist in making the
grand ball a success.
The ball at Harmonic Hall will be given
by the Connaught Social Club, and this
organization has perfected elaborate plans
for fine entertainment. The Dublin
Social Club will join with the Connaughts
in securing a jolly good time.
The people of St. Paul's parish, whose
church is on the corner of Twenty-ninth
and Church streets, will give an entertain
ment on Tuesday evening next.
The members of the church of st.
Charles Borromeo, which is at the corner
of Shotwell and Eighteenth streets, will

only paid his laundry bills with stock, but
also the bills of his tailor and shoemaker.
Stephens had different story to tell
of the stock and said that Barbee's action
in having him arrested was due to family
differences. He and Barbee's sister. who
was one of the directors of the company,
had been engaged to be married for the
past three years, and since the engagement
was announced Barbee had moved heaven
and earth to break it off. He had circu-
him to injure him in the eyes of Miss Bar
bee and her friends. He was now en-
ployed by W. J. Patton, who purchased
the stock at the Sheriff's sale, which was
of itself a REPUTATION of the cha rges against
him. If he felt disposed, he said, he
could make it uncomfortable for Mr.
Barbee.

LA GRIPPE.

La grippe or influenza is a disease caused by
q specific microbe affecting the mucus MEM
brane lining the Lungs, Bronchial Tubes, the
Head, Nose and Throat.
First the microbe or the predisposal cause,
then expose yourself to cold when your general
system is in a condition below normal, and you
have Grippe in all its forms.
Grippe affects the system in general, but es-
pecially the Nervous System. Once having the
Grippe you are never free from some Of its dis
agreeable symptoms. To avoid against Grippe
the general system and secreting and excreting
organs of the body should be kept in normal
or active condition.
White blood corpuseles act as specific for the
microbe or Grippe bacillus. Necessarily your
blood must be rich in the essential elements
that go to make white blood corpuscles to
battle with the Grippe bacillus.
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla acts as specific
in Grippe, because it makes rich blood, good
digestion and is a wonderful tissue rebuilder.

war vessels. Perhaps fair conclusion is
that for harbor defense a ram like the
katahdin may have a specific value, al
though it cannot take the place of the guns
and torpedoes. Its function is that OF an
auxiliary. But it also furnishes a vessel so
built as to reduce the liability of receiving
damages from ramming an enemy.

BLacKsMlTHs VS.. PLUMBERS.
The Men Of Siuew will Try to Pluck the
..Plumbs."


1t Is fact that blacksmiths arc gener-
ally muscular fellows and can strike
heavy, but not always are they heavy
hitters in the base ball sense of this phrase.
Plumbers are of course supposed to have
accurate eyesight, but whether or not they
possess good eye for swift curves re-
mains to be proven.
The point Of this story is this. The
blacksmiths and plumbers of this city
propose to play game of base ball at the
Augusta Driving park, Monday afternoon
next, and will probably begin about 2. 80
o. clock SO that the shades of night will
not sweep down upon them before the
game is ended. The proceeds will be for
the benefit Of the Kennebec Base Ball Club
and possibly a handsome sum will be
turned over, at least it is hoped So
The blacksmiths' team will be captained
by J. J. Druery, who will play right
field. The other players will be, George

Skehan, b: Everett Shaw, | f; Henry

THE CITY BUILDING.
General Sketch Of the Proposed Structure
Which Will Adorn cony Street.

There is now every indication that be.
fore many months elapse substantial
and convenient city building viii be
erected at the east end of the Kennebec
bridge on Cony street.
A general description of the proposed
building taken from the plans now under
consideration, may be Of interest although
the details are not yet perfected. The size,
will be 90x104 and three stories. 1t will
be constructed of brick and the trimmings
will be terra Gotta, probably. In the
basement will be the municipal court
room, police station, boiler room, coal
room, and cellar for each store.
The first floor will be apportioned into
three stores, one drug store and per-
haps the other two will be grocery stores
but that has of course not yet been
definitely settled. The entrance will be
in the center on Cony street and hand
some arch will be built. On the first
floor will be the city treasurer's office,
with vault and private office, the city
marshal's office and spare room.
In the second floor will be the armory
of Co. F., N. G. S. NJ, consisting of a
hail. gun room, officers room and COM
panys room. The aldermen and coun-
cilmen's rooms will be on this story, also
the offices Of the board of health, over
seers of the poor, board of assessors city
clerks office with vault, mayors office
and office of the school committee.
The third floor will be devoted to hall
and the dimensions will be about 65x70,
with seating capacity of about 1000
having spacious balcony and roomy
platform. Connected with it will be three
ante rooms.
There will also be a side entrance to
this building and over it will be porte
chochere. There will be two towers and
from the top Of one 1t has been suggested
that the flag of the State of Maine shall
float and from the top of the other the
United States flag. The appearance of
the proposed building will be similar to
the Norman type of architecture
Architect Spofford of Boston, is drawing
the plans which is regarded as a good
that the city will have finely

it as the most exhaustive treatise of its
