misunderstanding among club women
concerning the meaning of the paragraph
that while an 1896 ombership cardIn
the Union would admit it's holder ad

The notice meant just this: No Glib

A TRIBUTE
OF SCIENCE.
Synopsis of a most Remarkable
Lecture Delivered Before the
Ninth Medical Congress, by
DR.. A. L. A. ToboIdt, of the
University of Pennsylvania.

The famous fountain of health
at Carlsbad, in Bohemia, which
has been the refuge of invalids
for five centuries, is certainly
well worthy of a careful study.
My experience with this rene
dialagent has been such that l
may truly say that no remedy
which l ever employed has given
me SO much pleasure and profit
as this particular one. Selecting
a number of chronic hypochon-
driacs, whose Affections have
baffled all my previous efforts as
my subjects, | was truly aston
ished to note that, although no
rigid diet was prescribed, and
only a limited amount of exercise
was INDUCED in, | obtained most
remarkable results-the complex
ion, even after a weeks use,
began to clear up, the step be-
came more firm and elastic, and,
what was more, the entire host
of hypoehondriacal complaints,
seemed to vanish like mist.
Many limitations of the genu-
inc imported Carlsbad Waters
and Carlsbad Sprudel Salt are
being sold here by druggists and
others. The genuine article is
bottled under the supervision of
the city of Carlsbad, and has the
seal of the city and the signature
of EIsNER & MENDELsoN Co., sole
agents for the U. S., New York,
on every bottle. All others are
worthless limitations.
DR.. Toboldt's lecture, with
table of cases treated, will be

plication to the agents of the

Last evening at their pleasant home,
soo Newbury street, Councilman ana
Mrs. James A. Pine celebrated the Goth
anniversary of their marriage and re-
celved the congratulations Of about Two
hundred OF their friends. The house
was finely decorated for the occasion
with autumn leaves, cut flowers and
evergreen, while the table in the dining
room was adorned in most elaborate
and artistic manner with ribbons and
flowers. Mr.. and Mrs. Pine received
their guests in the parlor, beneath a
canopy of flowers and bright hued leaves,
and were assisted in receiving by their
daughter Miss Mabel E. Pine. The Bell
Whist club of which Mr.. and Mrs. Pine
have been mem hers for several years also
assisted in receiving the many callers
who came during the evening to con-
graduate Mr.. and Mrs. Pine on the
happy occasion.
Mesdames Niokersop, Bennett, Hall,
Shaw, Henley and Dole served coffee,
chocolate, sherbert punch and other re-
freshments in the dining room to the
many guests.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pine were the recipients
of many beautiful and costly presents,
nearly all of which were of silver, in
keeping with the silver anniversary. The
Bel! Whist club presented handsome
silver oyster dish lined with gold, silver
nut dish and silver bread tray. From
the city committees On electrical appli-
ancss and fire department., of which
Councilman Pine Is memb Der, came a
handsome and elaborate silver and gold
water set, from the members of the
Woodbine lodge. Daughters of Rebeooa,

that the party broke mp. and in leaving
they all expressed the hope that Mr.. and
Mrs. Pine might enjoy many more ami.
versaries of their marriage day.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Tar and Tartar.

was sight to look around the house
from the front of the orchestra seats, es-
pecially into the balcony and gallery.
There the people were packed In tier
above tier and leaning against the wall.
Down stairs every seat was taken and
men and even women, stood three deep
in the rear of the parquet.
The Tar and Tartar last evening was
given by the company without the Or
ehestral score which had been left be-
hind in Fall River. This misfortune
will not pertain to the operas to be given
henceforth. Notwithstanding the lack
of the orchestral parts the band did

music very thoroughly. Then again there
was but little of the opera given Those
who rem rendered the performance by the

think it was-some seasons ago, will re-

unsteady ami dramatically.

she sang with great brillianny and ar

part of Fairns, a professional beauty,
but, vooally, there WAS little for her to
do. Hattie Arnold was Alpaca, queen
of the harem, and she was a solid one.
Marie Bitfin made pretty Tafetta, but
she was evidently struggling with a

A PORTLAND VESSEL SAFE.
J. S. Winslow & Co., received tele-
gram yesterday afternoon from the
master of one of their vessels, the
Gertrude L. Trundy, announcing his
safe arrival at Demarara after forty
tive days passage from Norfolk. While
no uDeasiness was felt for this vessels
safety, still 1t was known that she had
been in the path of the hurricane which
proved so disastrous to the Portland bark
Golden Sheaf, and few more days with
out bearing from the master of the
Trundy IN light have caused some fear as
to her safety.
The schooner j. S. Winslow of this
port, of which the firm of j. S. Wfnslow
& Co. are also the agents and part
owners left Philadelphia on September
205h with coal for st. Lucia, one OF the
Windward islands. She, too. must have
passed through the hurricane which the
Golden sheaf encountered, but as yet
nothing has been heard from her. No
anxiety is felt for her safety, however.
According to j. Fl. Blake the coasting
trade is picking up little, but lie still
very dull. Many vessels are hauling up
for the season on account of the scarcity
OF freighss, and the low prices. Along
Portland's wharves may be fonnd at
least dozen largo vessels waiting for
charters. There are plenty of charters,
but the prices are SO low that the owners
lose money by accepting them.
