Three Doctors In Consultation. From Benjamin Franklin.

When you are sick, what you like best is to be chosen for q medi- cine in the first place; what eSper- fence tells you is best. to be chosen in the second place; what reason (i. e., Theory) says is best is to be chosen in the last place. But if you can get Dr Inclination, Dr. Expert ence and pr Reason to hold q con sultation together, they will give you the best advice that can be taken.
 When you have bad cold Dr., Inclination would reccomend Cham berlain's Cough Remedy because 1t is pleasant to take. Dr. Experience would recommend it because it never fails to effect q speedy and perman- ent cure, Dr. Reason would recom- mend 1t because it is prepared on scientific principles, and acts on na- tures plan in relieving the lungs, opening the secretions and restoring tue system to q natural and healthy condition.

of Hibernians.

Young Mems Division, No 6, on Tues
day evening had well-attended and in
teresting meeting, at which great deal
of routine business was transacted.
The resignation of Mr.. Lawrence J.
Mackey as President of the division was
received with regret. He has proven one
of the most efficient and popular officers
of the order, but increased business obi
gatious rendered it impossible for Mr..
Mackey to further hold the position.
William J. Mccarthy, with the firm of
Altsheler & Co., the Main-street whole
sale grocers, was elected to fill the un-
expired term of the retiring President,
and from the way he starts off it is APP
parent that the members made wise Sc
lection. Mr.. Mccarthy, though young
man, has been a member of the Ancient
Order for a number of years, and his adj
dress upon being installed gives indica-
ton of a firm and live administration.
Efforts are to be made to largely in
crease the membership of the division
and an invitation is extended to all young
Irishmen to send in their names and be-
come members, The amusement fur
nished members without extra cost rem
ders enrolment in its ranks of great
moral and social benefit.

ern Company, England, r. G. Colhoun,
traffic manager of the Great Southern
& Western railway, and f. Vaughan,
traffic manager of the Waterford & Linn
erick line, arrived in Limerick, and had
interviews with some of the leading mer-
chants who have taken up an attitude in
opposition to the amalgamation. Mr..
Wilkinson and Mr.. Calhoun, on behalf
of their companies, offered many con.
cessions to Limerick in the way of traffic
and otherwise if opposition were with.
drawn; but the merchants were not to be
drawn, and decided unhinchingly against
all monopoly. Thus ended the inter
views without any practical result. In
all probability the issue will now be left
to Parliament.
