Mr. Edward Hughes Coates and the
local gentlemen interested in the pro-
posed production in this city of series
of presentations of the Carnival of
Revels, for the benefit of the fund for
a site for the Carnegie public library,
have been discussing the matter with
large number of local ladies and
gentlemen, and have everywhere met
with the greatest possible encourage
ment. There is an universal recogni-
ton of the practicability Of the project
and a conviction that it would result
in the raising of a very considerable
sum of money, particularly if carried
on for a week, as has been suggested,
with at least two matinees.
Mr. Coates was seen last evening by
a representative of the Register, and
stated that a meeting OF chaperOnes
had been called for the parlors Of the
MsLure House at ten O'Clock Monday
morning, at which time and place
there would be a thorough discussion
Of the subject, the arrangement OF de-
tails, and the assignment OF certain
portions of the work to be done. He
also stated that the music OF relig-
ious character had been placed in the
hands of Mr.. Paris R. Meyers, who will
cooperate with other musicians in en-
surfing the proper effect IN that line.
Other details aside from those coming
naturally under the professional direc-
tors of the Carnival, will be in the
hands OF competent local ladies and
gentlemen, and there is no doubt but
that a magnificent rendition will be
the result.
After the meeting of Monday the
Register will give additional details,
and the eXpectant public will be kept
posted thoroughly as to the progress
OF the enterprise, in which all have a
lively interest.

For that tired feeling" try
SchmulbRch's golden BREW"
"Literature of All Nations and All
Ages;


AS its name indicates, this is an epitome
of the worlds literature from the earliest
known writings to the present time. Ex-
tracts from the writings of great authors
in all lands and of all times have been
carefully selected and compiled into ten
volumes, published under the editorship
of Julian Hawthorne, John Russell Young
and John Porter Lamberton. To gather
together and compress into ten volumes
even a synopsis of the worlds literature
has required genius.
Its plan, in brief, is to give under a clas-
sification partly chronological and partly
national, groups of extracts from the
writings of the masters, and TO preface
these with such biographical and critical
notes as may be essential to intelligent
reading. To exemplify the skill with which
the selection of extracts has been made,
it may not be amiss to cite one author,
and perhaps none is more popular and
hence none better adapted for this ex-
ample than LongfeIlow. After a short
biography of the poet, the ninth volume
gives the following from his writings:
The Open Window, Pegasus In Pound .
The Cumberland" Paul Revere's Ride
Hawthorne two scenes from "Evange-
line"-that between Evangeline and the
Indian Woman, and her discovery of her
lOyer-an extract from the introduction of
"Hia watha," and one of the Tales of a
| Wayside Inn"
One of the most important considera-
tons in work OF this kind is the facili-
ties afforded for its use, and this collec-
ton is admirably indexed. Each volume
contains a well arranged table OF con-
tents. and in the last there are three in
dexes Of the whole work-a Biographical
list OF authors, a chronological view Of
the contents arranged by nations. and a
large general index of subjects. authors,
and extracts from their works
Any notice would be inadequate which
did not speak in most favorable terms of
the beauty OF this work, viewed purely
as matter of bookmaking. 1t is printed
on especially made paper in large. clear
type, and the volumes, although large,
are not heavy or cumbersome, and are
well and strongly bound. There are a
large number of very excellent illustra-
tons.
Another thing deserving OF mention is
the publishers plan OF advertising and
distributing the books The subscription
! price OF the sets is s35 in silk buckram,
SIS in half Russia, and $50 in edition De
! Luxe. The publishers propose to place a
few complimentary unbound sets of the
Literature OF All Nations and All Ages
among few representative people. and
| the Interstate Press have received a
| small allotment OF these sheets and Illus
| trations and also have the authority to
| distribute these sheets at their option en-
| urely free Of expense, and the publishers
| expect in return favorable commendati ton
| prior TO the regular sale. The compli-
mentary sets will be in every way. shape
| and form the same the subscription
| edition, which is sold AT the above prices.

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
symptoms of Very CommoI
Trouble.

1EOuDfcs
There is no disease so common
in the United States as catarrh be-
cause 1t appears In so many forms
and attacks 50 many different or
ganS.
1t Is a common mistake to sup
pose that catarrh is confined to
the nose and throat. Any inf1am-
nation of the mucous membrane
wherever located accompanied by
abnormal secretions, is catarrh.
Catarrh OF stomach or bladder, or
intestines is nearly as common as
nasal catarrh and much more SER
ious, although it is true that stom-
ach catarrh and catarrh of other
internal organs is the result of
neglected nasal catarrh.
A new remedy has recently ap-
peared which so far as tested
seems to be remarkably effective
in promptly curing catarrh. wher-
ever located. The preparation is
sold by druggists generally under
name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
and in addition TO being very pal
atable and convenient. possesses
extraordinary merit, in many cases
giving immediate relief from the
coughing, hawking and constant
clearing of the throat and head.
those symptoms with which every
one is familiar who has ever suf-
fered from colds in the head and
throat.
Catarrh IS simply a continuation
of thos6 symptoms until the
trouble becomes chronic and
grows gradually worse from year
to year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are
composed of Hydrastin, Eucalyp-
toll, Guaiacol and similar antisep-
tics and catarrh specifics, from
which it will be seen that no Sc
cret is made Of the ingredients and
also that no mineral poisons are
used, as is the case with many
we'll known catarrh medicines.
For catarrh of the nose, throat,
bronchial tubes, for catarrh of
stomach, intestines or bladder no
preparation is so safe and gives
such rapid and permanent results
as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at soc
for full sized package. You can
use them with assurance that you
will not contract the cocaine or
morphine habit as the results from
this catarrh cure are apparent
from the first days use

PECULIARLY SAD DEATH

tardaX

Was That of Miss Emma Blond.
Which Took Place Suddenly Yes
terday.
Miss Emma V. Blond, only daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. V. Blond, died sud-
denly after a very brief illness yes
terday morning at the family residence
on Main street. The announcement of
the death Occasioned profound sorrow
among the friends of the deceased, and
general sympathy was expressed for
the breaved parents. Miss Blond was
Vivacious young lady, whose charm
of manner, united with many excellent
traits of heart and mind, endeared her
to host of friends.
The sudden DEAN is rendered doubly
sad from the fact that Mr.. L. V. Blond
is lying i'll at his home, and last night
was reported to be in a serious condi-
ton. The funeral will take place at
2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon from the
family residence, No. 1137 Main street.
The remains will be laid at rest in
