an amateur.

a prize a handsome gun-case, which was

Bancroffs Wonderful Feats.

Bancroft. the magician, made his APP
pearance at the Academy last night, and
fully justified the reports that preceded
him. He does not rely upon adventurous
aids to concentrate the attention OF his
audience. lie is a particularly feeble con-
vorsatonalst. and his jokes are SORROW
full indeed. but his feats are truly ma r
Vellous. and not for single instant did
he lose his grip upon the attention Oh
those present.
The stage settings are very beautiful
md effective. and Satasuma. who appears
in astounding feats Of jugglery, makes an
excellent foil
Bancroft must be seen TO be appreciated.
The INFINITE variety OF his skilful feats
and their novelty are features that cannot
fail TO impress and entertain.
Bancroft will close his engagement mere
with his performance THIS evening.

AFTER THE ARMADA.
The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.

The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.
 The defeat of the Armada inspired England with energy and hope. Our people, says Blackwood's Magazine, be- came busy traders. Flemish traders had been ruined by war, Flemish refu- gees had focked into England, and Antwerp, the great port for new world commerce, had been sacked and taken. England succeeded to the trade of which the Dutch had been deprived. Beyond the ocean lay a vast world of wealth, of which Spain, united with Portugal, claimed the monopoly, thereby exclud- ing English commerce from the larger half of the planet. Systematic vio- lence-that is, the combination of trade with private war-was the only mode in which this monopoly could be at tackled.
 Elizabeth connived at this covert mar itime war both before and after the Armada, and the struggles between Eng fish traders and Spanish monopolisis were far too numerous and important to admit of peace between the two gov ernments. It was this spirit of com mercial adventure, whether it be called piracy or a heroic attempt to rescue the new world from the inGuisition and give it back to the free use of the human race, which was the first step in the de- velopment of three colossal growths- British trade, British empire, the Brit ish navy.

Pennies Not Legal Tender in Amounts or
 More Than Twenty-Five Gents.
 There is postmaster in little town not far distant. who is noted for the amount of authority he is inclined to show in trivial matters. A short time ago, says the Mount Morris (Mich.) Union, business man of the place ap- peared before tLe stamp window of the office and demanded 300 cne-cent stamps, for which lie laid down an equal number of pennies. Here was good chance for the authoritative gentleman, and with view of teaching his impor- lance, he picked 25 pennies from the heap. handed out 25 stamps and showed the rest of the money to the wortld-be buyer with the remark that pennies were not legal tender there in amounts of more than 9 cents.
 Expostulation was in vain, the post master cited the law in the case and that seemed to settle it. With malicious gleam in his eye the buyer swept the re- maining pennies into his pocket and mildly inquired: q suppose can get al OHt-Ccuo Stolllp ueIe IOl d pSH1lS Cth IF" Certainly" sa..d rne man at the window. 'Then give me one-cent stamp" said the other laying down the money. It was handed to him, and he demanded another and another after that. Several people had come in in the meantime, and We're impatiently wait ing their turn at the window, but the obdurate buyer Acpt on gravely buying one-cent stamps on the installment plan. Seeing determination in the face of the other, the postmaster offered to arbitrate, but it was of no avail. He

COLOR OF WCMEN's EYES.
The Mere Question of Pigment Has Set
 tied Many a Mans Fate.

Did you ever notice that men always instinctively put confidence in girl with blue eyes, and have their sus- picions of the girl with brilliant black ones, and will you kindly tell me why? asks writer in the Ladies Home Jour- nal. Is it that the limpid blue eye, transparent and gentle, suggests all the soft, wonanly virtues, and because he thinks he can see through it, clear down into that blue-eyed girls soul, that she is tte kind of a girl he fancies she is? I think it is, but some of the greatest little frauds I know are the purry, kitteny girls with the big inno- cent blue eyes. Blazing black eyes, and the rich, warm colors, which dark skinned women have to wear suggest energy and brilliance and no end of intellect. Men look into such eyes and seem not to be able to see below the surface. They have not the pleasure of long, deep gaze into immeasurable depths. And so they think her design ing and clever, and, perhaps God save the markD, even intellectual, when, perhaps, she has wealth of love and de- votion and heroism stored up behind that impulsive disposition and those dazzling black eyes, which would do and dare more in minute for some man she had set that great heart of hers upon, than your cold bloo,led, tranquil blond would do in 40 years. A mere question of pigment in the eye has set tied many a mans fate in life, and es- tablished him with a wife who turned out to be very different from the girl he fondly thought he was getting.

GIRLS IN BOXING GLOVES.

Ten Rounds and Knockout in a New
 York Gymnasium.
 Nearly every week day afternoon the favored visitor. to certain aristocratic gymnasium on Fifth avenue, New York, may see clever boxing bouts between the spirituelle young sports in knicker- lockers who are members of the organ ization.
 Not many days ago, says the New York World, ten-round Ego" between two of the most expert girls resulted in a clean knockout.
 A member of the gymnasium, who found the secret too much to keep, gives details of the bout, but refused to say more than that the contestants were named Maud and Ethel respect lively.
 For the first four rounds neither fair boxer gained much advantage, al though there were several rattling ex- changes.
 In the fifth Maud secured first knock down, and there followed three rounds devoted to uneventful rallies.
 The ninth round was distinguished by some clever work in the way of feints, ducks and counters, both contestants being pretty well winded at the quaver- ing call of time from member who was so excited that she had almost lost her voice.
 When the flushed and panting, but plucky, girls faced each other for the last round the first effort made was a splendid straight-arm punch which sent Ethel reeling for moment. A new member of tender years quietly tainted in a corner just as Ethel re- covered herself quickly in time to duck another beauty aimed for the chin.
 Before Maud could get herself back into position Ethel landed twice and her adversary at once became exceed ingly groggy.
 Ethel, though pufing like grampus herself, was quick to see her opportuni- ty, and with smart uppercut sent poor Maud to the floor in a bunch, fairly knocked out.
 The vanquished maid was carried to dressing-room, where she soon recov- cred. Then all the girls, after having a good cry together, went home, satisfied that they had a lovely time and eager for the next bout.

 Paris is the city where the dressmak- ing trade fourishes as it does in no other spot in the world. In 1850 the number of couturieres, as given in the Annuaire du Commerce, the commer- cial directory of those days, was only 15S. There were besides 67 shops for the sale of ready-made feminine appar- el, but there were none, as there are to-day, which sold lingerie or certain articles exclusively.

For your PrOtectiOn.- Catarrh "Cures'' or ( Go,,,J foyy,, &r ha fa yaD

Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken internally, usually contain either Mercury or Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur- ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not blood disease, caused by sudden change to cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat. Cold in the head causes excessive flow of mucus. and, if repeatedly neglected, the re- suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for these troubles and contains no mercury nor any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property.
