MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Times have changed. Old customs have passed away and in their places have sprung up new manners and new feasts. The days ot yule logs, and boars heads. and thistle toe, have for the most part; become memories of past age, and in their stead, conforming to an advanced civilization and complete chsrge of social customs, we have at Cbrlstmss time an entirely different program different in son . thinge, but Alwsys the same to the little ones. If the discarded mistletoe is abeent. in it's piece gre holly and cedar. The lesscn of the day is forever the same. IL is etn- blr mstlc of peace, good will, universal love, and care fer the happiness of oth- ers, principally the little ones.
 The patron saint of the children stthis time is hosry Old Santa Claus, always apbearing to their imagination ss though be had just emerged from snow banks; bis bushy hair and beard white from the rsvsges of Jack Frost, and his old back crooked with the burden of the gifts he carries for good little boys and girls. Already they hear the jingle of his sleighbells and the clattering hoofs of his eprIghty reindeer in the distance. and tonight many bright little eyes will do bottle with the god of slumbsr in 8 r.;, aEo.t f, ro rc in oman lon0 anouoh to catch sly glimpse of the wonderful old man who brings joy to so many hearts. But ss the soft lsshes creep unwillipely together and shut out the realities of earth, sweet dresms come to the innocent hearts, and all the loys of lifetime pass in lovely panorama before their sleeping vision. How ssreerly they jump from ths,r beds before the light of day has fairly dawned! What shrieks of joy make the household per. fact pandem oniuml Truly it is 6 day of "peace on earth and good will towards men," and the duty of every parent is plain. Make it @ rule to give the chil- dren some reminder of the day, no mat ter how slight it may be. It will teach them early in lie, lesson which is too often forgotten in this world -"it is better to give than to receive" To them now, it will appear reversed; but as age creeps on, and the time comes when their children are eagerly awaiting the advent of Santa Claus, the memories of their childhood days will come to them in vivid recollec' tioo, and they, in turn, will teach the lesson of everlasting love which links time to eternity, and makes earth nearer | heaven.
 To all, the old aud young, the rich aud poor, the CITIZEN extends @ sincere greeting, and wishes Merry Christmss with all ths joys the day can bring.

Dublin. Ga, March 23.-Insanely Jealous
with love, Andrew Barber rushed into the
residence of c. G. Beacham, twelve miles
below here, Saturday evening and succeed
ed in interrupting a wedding ceremony. The
contracting parties were Joshua Branch aud

Barber has tried to pay attention to Miss

and also aspired to exhort and preach. His
Christianity was of short duration.

infatuated with was to wed, he hastened to
the scene Of the nuptials. He entered the
room, and, before the spectators, began using
obscene language. The groom tried to pa city

weapons. went at it with their fists in earn

THE CAUSE OF La GRIPPE.
Now Admitted to BE From Deranged
Digestion.

Digestion.
Careful observation In many cases OF La
Grippe extending over several years have
gradually developed the fact that 1t is very
generally caused from dietetic errors.
In other words, during the prevalence OF
In Grippe, persons who suffer from indfges-
ton or stomach troubles are almost In
variably victims OF the epidemic.
This can be rendily understood when you
remember that the germs OF any disease
cannot gain a'foothOld in the system OF q
man Or woman who is blessed with perfect
digestion, because perfect digestion menns
perfect health, und such persons can bid de-
nance to La G Grippe or 10 any other prevail
Ing epidemic.
For this reason physicians have recently
introduced into their practice the new
preparation know as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets as an almost certain preventive OF
Ia q rppc, us this remedy by giving perfect
digestion and assimilation OF the food
so fortifies the system against disease that
all danger from this epidemic is reduced
to minimum.
So popular have stuart's Dyspepsia Tab

month after being made kno wn TO the pub

SOUSA'S PEERLESS BAND.
An Enthusiastic Audience Enjoyed the
Concert Last Night.

An audience overflOwing in numbers,
enthusiasm and cordiality greeted John
Philip Sousa and his Peerless Concert
Band last evening AT the Lafayette Square
Theatcr. The conductor was received with
avery hearty demonstration when he came
on. baton in hand. sevcra OF his admirers
sent him some very beautiful floral tributes
over the footlights.
There is little to say about this aggrega-
tion of talent, except that Sousa's band is
sousa's band, and that there is no organi
zation in the world that can play his music
like his band. The composers most re-
cent compositions and the marches and
musical advertisements, which are now
classics, were played and applauded and
cheered over and over again.
One of the best things on the program
was u suite entitled, Three Quotations"
The second in the series. II, too, was
born in Arcadia" is particularly fine
and harmonious composition. 1t is in the
pastoral style and flows as melodiously
and gracefully as could be desired. Another
excellence was the "Nydia," the second
part OF the Last Days of Pompeii."
Mr.. sousa stirred the audience, as he has
done many times before with his famous
marches. The humors OF the musicians
and their instruments were equally ex-
hibited in his "Humoresque," called 1.-The
Band Came Back" MT. SOusa very gen.
erously gave all OF the artists an oppor-
tunity to appear in solo, SO that the pro-
gram was indefinitely extended.
The band is supplemented very mute
RALLY by Miss Myrta French, soprano, and
Miss Carrie Duke, violinist. Miss French
sang ono of Sousa's ballads, "Sweet Miss
Industry and also Don't You Remember
Trilby O'Ferrclr'-both in good voice
and pleasing style. Miss Duke played in
the easy, accomplished manner with which
the public here is appreciatively familiar.
Her bowing and lingering of the difficult
passage in her encore were artistic to Q
degree, and especially the fidelity of her
touch in the passages in harmonics, double
stops and pizzicato.
The band viii play a return engagement

NATIONAL HYMN"
New Candidate for First HOnOrs A mong
the Patriotic Lyrics.

New Candidate e for First HOnOrs A mOng
the Patriotic Lyrics.
"America's National Hymn is the title
Of spirited musical composition by Mr.. A.
Tregina of the United States Marine Band.
This new candidate for first place among
the national lyrics has been published by
the Oliver DitsOn Company OF Boston in
leaflet form and at popular prices.
Mr.. Tregina is one Of the best known musi-
clans OF the famous Marine Band, his name
having been prominently mentioned as tie
successor of Mr.. sousa. He has written
some good music. but. heretofore, nothngOn
so pretentious a theme.
There is a question as to whether America
has u national anthem. The Star Spangied
Banner. .''"Columbia, the Gem Of the Ocean,"
and Hail. Columbia" while on patriotic
themes, are not universally accepted, all or
any OF them as national songs in the general
sense of the term. America has no such
song as the '.AIarseillaise," or THE Watch
on the Rhine or the r'Russian Battle
Hymn
Mr. Tregina has entered Il field of high
enterprise, and the dignity of his music
is in keeping with the greatness OF his
subject. His motive is of peace AMI glory,
rather than of war, and while there is
thus lacking the martial effects that mark
the war lyrics OF the older nations, he
makes large amends by the strength and
simplicity of his strains. Theanrhem should
meet with favor. The words are 10y Mr..

AGAINST AEBRicAN BEEF
Prussian Agrarians Want Rigorous
Measures to Prevent Importation.
Declare Inspection IN United States Is
Perfunctory and Subordinate to
Commercial Advantages.


Berlin, March 23.-An interesting debate
arose In the Unterhauson wednesday dur.
ing the discussion of an Interpolation asking
the intentions of the government in regard
to dealing with the question OF American
meats. a.
Prof. Won Mendal launched Il prolonged
TRADE OF invective against American corned
beef and all canned meats and In the course
of his remarks gave an instance OF the wife
of Berlin journalist having been poisoned
by the use OF such goods.
Other similar cases, he said, were not
uncommon and amid the cheers or the
Agrarian members OF the chamber he urged
that it was not sufficient that American
meats should be certified as healthy by
American inspectors, but that the whole car
cass must be inspected by German inspectors
before 1t could be admitted into the country.
In regard to American oleomargarine he
declared that control OF the inspection or
that product by Americans was inadequate,
Americans not having exercised proper
sanitary precautions, their interests being
solely commercial.
Freiherr Won ammerstein-LOXten, min
lister of agriculture. replied that II was
impossible to inclose Prussia within q
Chinese wall. He held that the existing
precautions were sufficient, and thought
that the Agrarians could make capital
enough out of the alleged cases of Texas
fever in German cattle said to be trace
able to the importation of American cattle
The Freissigne Zeitung says that the in-
tention OF the member whose interpola-
tion precipitated the debate was merely
to ask the minister of agriculture for an
official report upon American meats. The
debate closed before the question became
opportune, and the matter will be Mought
up again, as there is reason to believe that
the allegations made against the American
products are mere fiction.
