Miss Emmie Frazer writes to friend
that Mr.. Blake who appears a Seals
hall tonight Is a splendid impersonator.
A compliment from Miss Frazer, who is a
talented elocutionist, means great deal.
Mrs Jack w. Johnston opened the
doors of her handsome South Highland
home to a party of young ladies' and gen.
tlemen last night, and very enjoyable
dance was INDUCED in.
Mr. f. H Cabaniss is in his office again
after several days of indisposition.
Two of the leading churches of the city
have recently increased the salaries of
their pastors. These pastors voluntarily
requested a reduction of their salaries
during the hard times following the panic
of 1893, and now that brighter times are
ahead, it is but fair that their salaries
should be restored.

 assembled to pass upon the resolution adopted by the upper branch of the municipal government, When the res olution was read unanimous consent was moved by Councilman Clark, This was granted and Councilman Caring ton moved that the resoution be adopt ed.
 There was not a dissenting voice when the question was called. Coun- cilman Pickett said that he would not put it in the form of a motion, but he wished that it be taken as the sense of the board that assistant city clerk furnish the board of public works a certified copy of the resolution by 12 o'clock to-day.
 Councilman Pickett offered q resolu- tion amending the ordinance in rela ton to paved streets which was refew- ed to the committee on streets.
 Councilman Unger extended an invi- tation to the board to attend the street lighting convention which meets here on Thursday.
 The members of the board of public works were asked last evening at the close of the councilmanic session if they wished to say anything concern ing the action of the court of common council
 There is nothing to be said" was the reply made by one of the members, and it would seem that all were of the same mind, for nothing could be gained from any of them for publication. It is probable that they, like Alderman Hamilton, may have more to say when the investigation comes off.

VETERAN TOLUNTEER FIREMEN.

The Veteran Volunteer Bremen much regretted that the storm prevent ed the carrying out of their program for Sunday for decorating the graves of deceased comrades, but a committee 'of one was sent to the Grove street n1-
 etery and a committee of six to Ever
 green cemetery, who decorated the
 graves. There are fourteen graves of Veteran Volunteer Bremen in the fire mems lot in Evergreen cemetery, where
 stands the firemen's monument. A
 wagon-load of flowers was sent to Ev
 ergreen cemetery where large major ity of the deceased members are buried.
 The graves of Chief Engineers Camp and Hemingway were among those dec- orated. An attempt was made few years ago to locate all the graves of Veteran Volunteer Bremen in our cem- eteries, and two weeks of diligent labor were spent by the committee appointed for the purpose, but nevertheless there i is a considerable number of graves of | comrades which are unknown, and the
 location of which was not found. The following from President COrbu-
 sier expresses the thanks of the associ- ation for the liberal donations of flow 1 CTS received:

It is expected that the spa cious rooms on Crown street will be crowded with the members and their families, and that the banquet dona- tions will cause the tables in the large dining hall to groan with the delicacies of the season.

The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1896-04-04

The old man who looks out at the world
with clear and healthy eyes cannot help
feeling great qualification at the thought
that his children have inherited from him
no weakness or tendency to disease. The
healthy old man is tire man who has
throughout his life kept his digestion good
and his blood pure. Not one in Il thousand
does do it. Germs go through the healthy
body without effect Let them once find
lodgment or let them find weak spot,
they will develop by the million and tho
blood will be full of them. Instead of Civ
ing strength to the tissues, it will force
upon them innutritious matter, and man
will lose flesh and the more susceptible lie
is to disease DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is the only medicine that abso-
lutely and infallibly cures all blood dis
eases. 1t isn't medicine for some one
particular so called disease. 1t is Il medi-
cine for the whole body. 1t forces out all
the germs of disease, and replaces impuri-
ties with rich red blood.

Meanwhile the confusion on the train
was so great that paid no special heed to
Dicks bewilderment. There had been a
slight accident, and, though no one was
hurt, every one was frightened, and, with
the perseyerity Of human kind, mad at
having been frightened for nothing, which,
to my mind, was making the worst of a
good bargain. Dick came and sat down by
me after that and | took good look at him.
He was four or five years my senior, if |
remembered rightly, but beyond that point
all my praconceived ideas of him vanished
into thin air. | thought had been told,
long ago of course, that we looked alike,
but Dicks sunny hair, blue eyes and long,
straight nose bore not the least resemblance
to my dusky personality and slightly
heaven-turned features.
81 am so glad to have found you here"
l repeated. ''Do you know, Dick, Aunt
Eliza gave me the wrong paper so that
had not the least guide to find you; isn't it
fortunate thing that we met on the train
this way"
"Most Fortunate he assented cycling
me with more curiosity than ever

me, Dick" put in a little nervously, it
must be confessed, for though my brother,

THE STUDENT SCORED.

A medical student who recently dropped
a piece OF paper, on which the word 'Mon-
KEY was written in large letters, in the
cap OF a professor against whom he had a
spite, told the joke to all his chums

My Amt Eliza balanced her teaspoon be-

then she laid it down and said: 81 shall

open window of the car. Her answer
was lost as the train glided rapidly out of
the station. So settled myself to think
the matter over and naturally enough the
first thing did was to open my paper of
directions. 1t was blank. Clearly she
had given me the wrong paper. From

into the seat behind me- At the same time
a biz, good-natured looking man got on at
the other end, and, coming towards me,
stopped by my seat and hailed my new
