Chamberlaih's Cough Remedy

is recommended only for the few dis
eases for which experience has proven
it to be especially adapted and supe-
rior to any other. No other remedy
will cure cough or cold so quickly.
No other is so certain IA preventive
and cure for Group. No other affords
so much relief in cases of whooping

it trial when in need OF such a me-

CENTRAL CHURCH.

The ladies of Central Church are ar
ranging for an evening of pleasure and
profit on Monday next. Their object is
to raise funds sufficient to recarpet and,
to an extent, refurnish the parlors of
the church; and to this end they are
striving to enlist the generous support
of all friends of the church in the fur
theranee of their plan for Give and
take party" to be held in the chapel
and parlors Of the church Monday eve
ming, Feb. IA, at O'Clock.
1t is expected that each one attend
ing will bring with them as an entrance
fee some article or articles of the value
of 25 cents, securely done up in bun
die, The more the outward appear
ance of the bundle bellies the character
of the contents, the better. 1t is es-
sential to the success of the plan, that
every one be prompt in attendance, so
that upon the ringing of bell, at $50,
announcing the beginning of the sale
of the bundles, every one will be ready
TO make their selection Of one of the
mysterious packages, paying therefor
the uniform price of % cents. As it is
expected that some will bring more than
one bundle, there will doubtless be a
surplus after each one present has
made their purchase of one. In the
auctoning of this surplus, much amuse-
ment is anticipated.
During the evening there will be a
sale of homemade candies.
When ii is hinted that the arrange
ments are under the same guiding hands
which made the famous "Handicraft So
ciety" of this church so successful in all
it undertook in years gone by, it is not
presumptuous to predict success.

H. c. c. ATHLETIC GAMES. I
Much Depends on the U. of p. Relay
Team

Trainer Thomas p. Conneff of the
Holy Cross College team wrote to Train
er Murphy of the University of Penn
sylvania Friday, asking him for def
mite answer to the proposition that the
two colleges meet for a two-mile relay
race in an open athletic tournament to
be held next month at the Holy Cross
gymnasium.
The matter was discussed. but only in
an informal manner, at the B. A. A.
meet week ago this evening, and
both men seemed to think such race
would be a good thing. Much depends
upon Murphy's decision in the matter.
In case of a favorable answer, which
now looks reasonably certain, the meet
ing will surely be held, but if Murphy
decides that he does not want to bring
his team on here, the meeting may fall
through entirely.
Captain Bigelow of the Harvard team
announces positively that ne will allow
none of the Harvard athletes to COM
pete in indoor games after this month,
which WILL of course, cut out a great
many men who would otherwise run at
the Holy Cross meet The students at
the college are undecided whether, with
out special feature, such as the Holy
Cross-U. of P. race, a big crowd and a
big list of entries could be secured
