PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.

The city of Athens was a picture OF
the human heart, full of idols, many Of
them very beautiful. fun Of lust, and
passions, and longings, but otter
among its many gods rejecting the true
God, and among its many searchings
refusing TO seek the true Saviour.
The highest culture, and art, and lit
erature, surroundings of beauty, and
an atmosphere of philosophy, cannot
alone make people holy, or save them
from sin. Used for Christ and His
Kingdom, they are blessed; as sub
stitute FOR Christ, they are failure. :.

Hosts of people suffer from the various
malignant poisons in their blood, which
produce orresult from catarrh. Many other
persons suffer from nervous diseases, liver
diseases, kidney diseases and skin diseases,
as the result OF irritating crystal poisons in
the blood. \ majority Of such sufferers do
not have definite understanding of the
nature of their affiiction. The following
symptoms have been arranged by DR.. Me

those affected is this: Read these symptoms
carefully over; mark those that apply to
your case, and bring this with you to Doc

The Baltimore hockey players yesterday
went on something like a strike against the
management OF the skating rinks in that
city. Their grievance seems to be in the
refusal of the rink owners to bear any
part Of their expenses in providing equip

toes, considering the attraction the hockey
games have proven, so they propose to
stop playing unless the rinks ante up.

BRILLIANT WORK ON sTEELs
Meagher's Fancy Skating at the
Ice Palace Greatly Admired.

Meagher's Fancy Skating at the
Ice Palace Greatly Admired.
The fancy skating of Ar. Meagher at
the Ice Palace last night was witnessed by
one of the largest crowds that has been
seen there this winter 1t is needless to say
the marvellous work of the great skater was
fully appreciated A comparison of one
nights work with another cannot well be
made, for the reason that the repertoire of
the performer differs entirely in every
exhibition. Beautiful, indeed. We're the
intricate figures that the glancing steels
of the artist traced upon the smooth sur
face.
With lightning rapidity the graceful, 1.-THE
figure glided from one figure to another
until the eye was almost wearied in watch
ing the quick evolutions. TheVictoria grape
vine, brackett eight. cross cuts on both
edges, double and single serpentine. Rus
sian spins, Swedish cross cut. and English
beautiful figures performed last evening.
The charm of Mr.. Meagher's performance
lies in the Incompatible ease and grace
with which every movement is executed
The sensational dashes through rows of
lighted lamps, and jumping over chairs on
one skate, were the features which re-
ceived the greatest applause, though they
were not so skillful as many of the others
The performance will be repeated tonight
with an almost entire change of the pro-
gram.

THEIR WAYS LIE APART.
Ma rital Troubles OF Mr.. and Mrs
Webb Coming Into Court.

Lawyer A B. Webb, Of No. 20s A street
southeast, and his wife will probably air
their troubles in the divorce courts in the
course Of the next few days, as a result
OF their different opinions regarding the
proper training Of . thirteen-year-old girl,
Mr. Webb's daughter by former mar
riage. Mr., Webb declares that his wife is
absolutely cruel TO the child, Willie Mrs,
Webb says that the child's father is spoil
ing her by overindulgence.
As a result there have been frequent
chickering's between the lawyer and his
wife, ana one quarrel leading to another
the pair have been convinced for some time
OF their mutual incompatability. Nothing
was said, however. until yesterday, when
Mr.. Webb received, to his great surprise. d
communication from his wife's attorney,
who suggested a plan of amicable separa-
ton, and also gave the amount of alimony
which would be required if the plan should
be agreed to. Upon receiving this letter
Mr. Webb published a notice i'll which he
repudiated all responsibility for his wife's
debts, acts or words. He also engaged
rooms at a hotel, and declined To return
TO his home.
Mr.. Webb said last night that while he
was perfectly willing 10 pay alinony. the
demand made hv his wife is extortionate.
So she viii have 20 go ahead in her suit
for divorce. Ana if she does not enter
suit he declares that he will, for he is
not content that his daughter should remain
under the charge of her step-mother. Mr.
Webb married his present wife. whose
maiden name was Lizzie C. Gary. in this
city five years ago. BY this marriage he
has one Child, girl two years old.
In case OF a separation, Mrs. Webb
would retain custody of this child, while
Mr.. Webb'S two children by his first wife
would remain with him.
