How to Remove Freckle,.

Freokles come from an excess of iron
in the blood, and the sun brings them

Vienna.

Here we have proud, imperial city,
rather disdainful Of trade, aristocratio
and easy going, conscious of long
past, its rulers still animated with the
conviction that they are the successors
of Charlemagne and Otto, looking on
Berlin as parvenu, on London as merely
commercial, on Paris as half crazy. Ex-
cepting in the domain of music, Vienna
is not home of art and culture, but it
is center Of dignity and grace and a
certain calm air of superiority, which,
however, does not offend. 1t is content
to look on while other places explore
and write and toll and push and strain
it stands on its rank; it can never forget
its 16 quarterings and its claims to
high estate.
Vienna is most interesting perhaps as
the meeting place between east and
west, where the fine gentleman rubs
shoulders in the afternoon lounge along
the Graben with the Bosnian peasant.
The guardian of Europe ancient order,
the center Of great and most interest
ing empire, the city Of leisure and of q
pride so lofty that it does not know
itself to be pride at all, Vienna is both
q charming city and an important polit.
ioal center, as she will continue to be-

A PRESENT To THE CITY.
The Strip of Land Along the Locka-

The strip of land north of the sixth
avenue bridge on River street which
was purchased by Il. c. Harnden from
the Delaware and Hudson company
some time ago, was bought from the
latter by property owners of that street
and will be presented 90 the city to be
added to the park reservation. Those
sharing the expenses were Trinity
church through it's vestry, G. A. Her
bert and T.. A. wheeler This was done
to insure that the plot would not be-
come an eye sore as it was feared that
at some future time the land might
he used for the erection cf bill boards
or other unsightly purposes. The city
has already secured control of the rest
of the strip along the river and this
was needful to make the plot complete.

FOR THE HOSPITAL.
What May Bo Realized by the Chase
Il Sanborn Arrangement.

Secretary S. s. Jones, of the Carbon
dale hospital board of directors re-
ccived a check for s1.00 yesterday from
C.. A. Pyle, proprietor of Carbondale
Cash store in accordance with the late
arrangement made between the retail
dealers of Chase and Sanborns coffee,
by which the hospital received a re-
bate from each pound sold. Mr.. Pyle
sold two hundred pounds of the cof-
fee in the past week. At this rate the
seven retail dealers Of the city will re-
bate to the hospital SlS2 for the first
sig months. The wholesale house will
give an equal amount making 1864, to
be settled under the old ratio Of sales.
Put as the people win undoubtedly in
crease their patronage of the coffee
largely on account Of the arrangement
with the hospital there is no way Of
computing what the hospital may net,
S50C, $500 or even $1,000 is not an eX-
traYaGant figure to place it at.
