An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF F1Gs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Ere SYRUP Co, illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them In TIE form most refreshing to the
taste and eeeptable to the system. IL
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA Flo SYRUr
Co. only. In order TO get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

Given at city Hall Last Evening by the
children of the Catholic schools.

The capacity OF City hall was fairly
tested last evening on the occasion of the
annual concern given by the children of
the Academy, Kavanagh and st. Domi-
MICS schools. About 400 little girls
daintily dressed in white, were seated,
tier over tier, on the platform, and they
were only portion of the talent which
rendered the following very entertaining
programme;

This varied and pleasing programme
WAS given in a manner to call forth the
warmest marks of commentator There
were several very notable features Four
boys in red gave with good deal of snap
1.-THE Bold Sailor Boy" and 1.-The Boys
of Our Navy" was presented by scholars
from St Dominios dressed like jolly
tars.
The Harvest Drill by 80 girls from
Kavanagh school, dressed in white. with
bright colored caps, is worthy OF special
mention. They went through the irill
with hoops in very taking manner aud
won the loudest kind Of applause. The
Jolly Walters by 80 boys Of the SACRED
Heart school. representing different ma
tionalities. caught the fancy OF the large
audience, and the poses, gestures, etc, OF
the 90 girls from the academy who pro-
duced "Since Birdie Commenced the Del
sarte, -" were feature of the concert.
The ohoruses were given with vim and
energy and the whole affair was most en-
joyable and very cordially received. Prof

sided at the piano and rendered excel

UPPER LEATH RTRUST.
Little Attention is Paid TO IL by the Lo-
cal Interests.

The present contPst in Boston between
those who favor the formation Of an up
per leather trust and those who do NOS
is of some interest locally IN Portland.
The CAsco Tanning Con- pany of this city
are the largest aud almost the only tam
Ders OF upper leather in Maine, The
Hinckleys at Gorham produce little ~"
per leather, but they are chiefly devoted
TO other specialties The Casoo Tannery
produce upper leather, producing high
grade and high-priced s ecialty known as
"Casoo calf. Z" SO far the Portland people
have paid little attention to the trust
proposition or to the efforts OF those woo
are trying to counteraot 1t by selling
ARA Dgement or com inatiou. II is by
10 means certain that concern would he
better in trust than out Of 1t. Il IS
said that the concerns remaining ont Of
the sole leather trust have one better than
the trust, 1t is quite probable also that.
in case the trust should consolidate the
business, local tanneries like the Casco
would still run, as 1t is said to be one OF
the intentions of the trust to keep run
ming those tanneries that manufacture
spseialties.

Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on
u healthy condition OF all the vital

you have a bilious look, If your
stomach be disordered you have a
dyspeptic look, if your kidneys be
affected you have a pinched look.
Secure good health, and you will
surely have good looks. "Elec-

Too Fllppant by Far,

An Associated Press dispatch
from Birmingham quotes Mr.,
Bryan as saying in regard to the
feasts in New York;
"What the Lords Supper is to
the Christian, so II JeiTersonian
banquet is to the Democrat, just
as Il good Christian would revolt
at having the sacrament admins
tered by an infdel, SO a good
Democrat objects to having a Jef-
fersonian banquet presided over
by Perry Belmont. y
The authority is reliable, and
yet we could hope that Mr.. Bryan
has leeRs- lhisquoted, lmpiety
-coes not become any man, and it
is certainly most offensive when it
proceeds from one who claims fa-
vors and preferment from a ma
ton.
1t needs no chwly critic to point
out the glaring improperly of
such comparison as that attribut-
ed to Mr.. Bryan in this dispatch.
To the great majority of the peo-
pie of this country the Lord S
supper is a subject not to be
lightly treated. Yet in this in
stance 1t is put in the same cate
CORY as a gathering of politicians
who have ends to subserve which
are assurcdIy not worthy to be
cIassed with the solemn farewell
of Christ TO his disciples.
Mr.. Bryan shocked many per-
sons who wished him well when
he used the crown-of- thorns and
cross-of-gold metaphor in the
speech which made him the nomi-
nee OF great party for the presl-
dency in 1896, but allowance was
made for the excitement of the oc-
easion, and it was thought that in |
such circumstances much might |
be forgiven the man whose politi-
'al future was in the balance. In
he present case no such excuse
'ould be offered.
There is yet another phase of
his matter which deserves atten-
ion. Thomas Jefferson was al
most, if not quite, a free thinker.
'y no stretch of partisan partial
-y can he be regarded as an ex-
mplar of morals. Probably no
ublic man of his prominence has
yer been so widely removed from
le religious traditions which the
reat mass of Americans hold in
,spect. 1t is in some sense i'm I
.ous to mention him at all in
with the savior of man
nd. :
Let the New York politicians
tile their differences as they
ay, but let US have no more of
ch fippant disregard of the re-
'ious feelings of the American
ople. Memphis Scimitar. !
