Mrs Ellis B. Bliss aud her daughter
Pauline had not been reunited at u late
hour last night The whereabouts Of DR..
Bliss is still unknown to the authorities

sion OF the facts till such time as the
matter of the custody OF Pauline shall

Only one day more to wait for the
tournament at Marshall Hall. On Wetlnes-
day the event takes place, and il is safe
enough to predict big crowd from the
city and surrounding country as WELL for
the counties all about contribute to the
success of these occasions. Successful as
they have been in years past. they cannot
possibly compare with the one now on
hand, as even the minutest detail has been
carefully considered that everything may
60 off nicely. There will be judges, heralds
and knights scampeTing all over the grounds
on their "fiery steeds,'' and mock valor
all the day. In addition to the entrance
fees of the knights, $75 will be added,
the entire amount being divided among
the five leading knights. There will be no
admission charged TO the grounds. Seats
for the tournament have been provided for
the ladies, and dressing-rooins for the
ladies and gentlemen. After the exciting
events OF the day in the field, dress ball
will be given at night.
In the evening also there is to be a most
elaborate display of fireworks to make
things more lively. If one has never seen
real old-fashioned tourney one cannot
afford to miss this, for it is to be bril-
liant feature among the events Of the
year at the Hall.
In order that all may be accommodated,
both steamers of the company Will be
pressed into service. They Will leave at
$50 and1O a. m, 2:30, $3.50 and $50 y. m.
The fitting will commence promptly at
noon, SO if one is to see that part of the
program one of the early boats should be
| taken. Otherwise, the other steamers will
| get one to the Hall in time for the balance

SCISSORS GRINDERS PLEA
Twenty Professional Sharpeners De-
mand the Right to Ring.
Ex-Ninister to Hawaii Moreno Intro
duces Al Delegation of Them to
the Commissioners.

Twenty scissors grinders, headed by c.
c. Moreno, were accorded hearing by the
Commissioners yesterday TO advocate the
repeal OF the ordinance which forbids them
to ring their bells Mr.. Moreno acted as
spokesman, but occasionally he would lose
control OF his delegation and they would
all taIt at once filling the air with broken
Enelish.
The contention was that they should
be allowed to ring the bells between the
hours of a. N. and p. m. This
would disturb no one, they said. and
would enable them TO ply their trade
proritatily as In the days before the OBJ
noxi0us regulation.
These men, said Mr.. Moreno. .are
all honest and hardworking, and it is
Very hard for them every time they try
to earn an honest living 10 be hauled up
into the police court. They are poor and
unable to pay the fines imposed upon
them, and, therefore, for sue h petty
infrActions of the law are sent TO the
workhouse -
Mr.. Moreno further contended that the
pclls We're small ones, which could be
people, and, Furthermore, that it was the
only way the poor grinders could let
people know OF their presence aud thus
make their business pay.
The Commissioners suggested that one
OF the machines should be brought around
in front of the District building at l
O'Clock, when they went 10 lunch so that
they could see Just how much noise was
made. SIR. Moreno promised to have this
done and the delegation departed.
AT l promptly the Italians We're in
front of the District building, and about
the same time the heavy downpour of yes
terlay afternoon began. Nothing daunt ed
the grinders huddled about the one scis-
sors grinding machine, which they had
brought with them, and waited patiently
for the Commissioners to come out.
Comnh sslon er Ross was the first 10
leave the building for lunch, and as he
appeared a the door on e Of the men rang
the bell attached to the machine. A broad
smile overspread Mr.. Ross face, but he
nodded that he had heard enough and
proceeded to his carriage. Acting Com

| sioner Ross said he thought that the bells
would hardly prove annoying to the citi
Zens. and in fact, he thought that grant
ing these poor itinerants permission to
pursue their calling would probably be a
great convenience to a large proportion
Of the population. He, therefore, favored

COLD IN THEHEAD

Is acute Inflammation and swelling of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ is long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 8. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it is called
cATARRH. The folds become swollen
into solid mass, so the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss of smell. The Catarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing a
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcerc is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whcle mucous surface of the nose, head
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonslls have
become corrupt mass OF ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves the whole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
tion and death. 1t will be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.
