ADJUSTMENTS.

! The Sacramento Lecture Association
opened it's season of 1896 last night
with large audience at the Congrega-
taken by fully nine-tenths Of those pres
emit, and this insures to the association a
successful and a long season. The enter
| tainment was a concert by the Bogart
Company of San Francisco, Andrew Bo-
CART, tenor: J. Nj. Robinson, baritone:
Miss Alma Berglund, soprano; Mrs.
Olive Reed, contralto: Miss Constance
Jordan, pianist; Mrs. A. T. Pinkham,
organist; Francis Stuart, director. 1t
was in all respects concert of the first
order; there was no weak numb Der or
performer in it. Mr.. Bog2rt aud Mrs.
Reed Miss Bachelder) have been heard
here before, and their fine capacity is so
we'll known as 10 call for no special COM
ment now. Miss Jordan, the accom-
PIANIST, has also played here twice or
more, and is recognized as superior.
Mrs. Pinkham is OF our own city and
musician. Mr.. Robinson is bari
tone, vigorous strong and exact. His
enunciaLion is model. His tones
are full, round. resonant and sympa-
| thetic and his method artistic. Miss
Berglund is high soprano, whose tones
are Of penetrating quality. Her voice is
very sweet and expressive. and its range
is wide. The warmth OF applause with
which her efforts were greeted was sutli-
Gent testimony to the satisfaction of the
audience. The gem of the evening was
Mr.. Bogarts splendid rendering of 'She
Alone Charmeth My Sadness" from
Uounod's Queen Of Sheba." Next TO it
must be placed Miss Berglund's double
number, aria from "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana" and an Alpine song In the latter
the debility of her fine soprano and its
penetrating quality were especially dem
onstrated. Level with her success was
that OF MIR. Robinson in splendid and
feeling Interpretation of Gounods
Easter Eve" Mrs. Reeds Norwegian
song was a charming thing, but her rich
contralto was heard to best advantage in
the second OF double number, Tschai-
kowsky's NO One My Grief Can Feel"
The concert was most suspicious open
ing of the season, and augurs we'll for the
whole series If the choosing of material
throughout is as happy as was that OF last
evening.

An inspector in the service of the In

cigar store in little town few days
ago, made purchase and asked the pro-
prietor few questions.

"Open a fresh box, of course" the cigar

glass. The condition OF all the body IS
written in the face
Thousands of women are dragging out
a weary, miserable existence, because
they do not fully realize what is the
matter with them. They know that they
have " female weakness but they do
not really appreciate what that means.
They do not know that TO this one
trouble is traceable almost all of their
bodily ills. They consider it a disease
by itself, and if they have also neuralgia,
nervous headaches, biliousness, kidney
troubles and other things, they see no
connection between them and the de-
engagements of a strictly feminine nature.
Busy and overworked physicians often
treat these things as separate ailments,
when the whole trouble has the one
source. The reproductive organs are so
important a part of the body that when
they are out of order, the whole system
is deranged. Whatever illness a wo-
man has she will do we'll to look there
for the cause
A great many women knowingly neg
1ect themselves, because they dread the
telling of their troubles to physician
and the subsequent examination and
"local treatment" All this is needless

HANDSOME OUTDOOR DISPLAYS OF FRUIT

Outdoor fruit dealers have been enabled by the
prevailing mild weather to make exceptionally hand
some and extensive displays of their stocks. Luz
cious oranges OF golden hue, bright red apples.
grapes of rich purple and more delicate tlnts. plump
yellow bananas and other seasonable fruits both
domestic and foreign. have been profusey and
tempiinsly exhibited. Their consumption has in
consequence, been exceedingly large. Keepers OF
open-air fruit stands and pushcart pedlers have
been able to lay by snug sums OF money help
them in tiding over periods OF cold weather and
wntry storms, which always seriously interfere with
their business and frequently cause its suspension
entirely for many days. The activity OF the outdoor
trade has also tended 10 strengthen the wholesale
fruit market which, during long spells OF severe
weather. Is perceptibly affected by lack of demand
from the open-air dealers.
