PAY DAY At CITY HALL.

This is pay day at the City Hall today
and in the City Clerks office there was
all the morning a stream of city employees
looking for their warrants. All the nice
lookin. we'll dressed school teachers re-
ceived theirs in the City Clerks private
room. where Mr.. Tom Halstead ~gallantly
tore out the slips of paper and handed
them to each teacher. That's one OF the
pleasant tasks in the office, which Mr..
Halstead reserves for himself, and to do
him justice he does it c~harmingly.
Dear man that, isn't he?" one heard
from more thar one attractive looking
teacher, while City Marshal E. vreeland,
Mr.. N. Furey and Mr.. Tommy Cummings
Sighed and sighed and looked in vain,
With languishing smiles, alas in vain"

D'urbervilles' than had been purposcd.
Instead of playing "Frou-Frou" for two
weeks, it was decided to give an extra
matinee of tina play on Wednesday OF
the second week originally fixed for it
and the concluding performance on We'd
nesday night. thus providing for a re-
vival of ''Divorcons' for the rest of the
week with Mrs. Fiske's new one-act trag-
edy, Little ITALY, as a curtain raiser.
This leaves the whole of the fnal week
of the engagement for Tess with an
extra matinee on Wednesday. The sus-
tanned popularity of Tess confirms the
prediction made on its production that it
is a play that will take its place in the
permanent repertoire of the theatre. Mrs.
Fiske is as fortunate in controlling the
English rights to this great play as she
is in having identified herself as the orig
inator of its leading part and it's first
producer. When Mrs. Fiske goes to Eng
land-as she no doubt will in the near
future-"Tess' alone will be sufficient to
establish her as a favorite in thai coun-
try, where it would be a novelty. AT
the close of her engagement at the Fifth
Avenue Theatre, Mrs. Fiske will make a
short supplementary tour of cities In
which she has not been seen as Tess

What Col. Waring did for the streets of
New York, Supt. Doherty has done for
Chicago.
AS Superintendent of the recently con-
solidated departments Of Streets and
Street Cleaning, Mr.. Doherty has made
many reforms in the construction and re-
pair of Chicago streets and in solving the
difficult problem of cleaning the highways
Of the second largest city in the country.
Mr.. Doherty is an authority on city SAN
itation, and collection and removal of
garbage, and on all matters pertaining to
the public health. His carefully consid-
cred selection of Paine's celery compound
as the best possible spring remedy he
could take and carry home to his family
is the recommendation of as competent a
person in such matters as can be found
outside the medical profession.
Department Of Public Works,
Bureau of Streets,
Chicago, March IA, 1893.
I have found Paine's celery compound
the best possible remedy for one in need
of a spring medicine, as an invigorator
for the nervous system it is invaluable.

Paine's celery compound is not an or
binary remedy. 1t is the most wonderful
invigorator the world has ever known.
The character of the testimonials to
Paine's celery compound is in marked
contrast to those received by any other
remedy. People with ample means of
getting the most efficient medical assist
ance employ Paine's celery compound in
their families and recommend it to others.
1t is a conspicuous fact, and one that
should be borne in mind by persons suf-
fering from the effects Of impure blood or
a weakened nervous system, that Paine's
celery compound, the discovery of Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, MD. LID, Of the
Dartmouth Medical School, is the one
remedy for regulating the nerves, and
purifying the blood, that is used by ply
sicians in their own families and ordered
to their patients.
