BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons In
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
TO have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfgurlng p11nples.
Eternal vigilance IS the ksE'fGe
of a beautiful complexion
when such remedies are relied on.

S. S. S. is a positive, unfailing cure for

Kernan's-"City sport..v

The feature of the performance of the
City Sports at Kernan's yesterday was
game of basketball between the feminine
portion of the company, who put up a
very good game. although the limitations
of the stage precluded any brilliant plays.
The young women went into the game
with a spirit that bespoke the genuine
ness of the sport and for some time there
was a mass of struggling. pushing. ex-
cited femininity pursuing an innocent ball
over the Lyceum stage. The game af
forded much amusement fol the audi
ences, doubtless on account of its novelty
In other respects the programme Of
fered by the Sheridan company contains
much that is praiseworthy. The bur-
lesque. From Broadway to Pee-kin" is
much the same as when seen here earlier
in the year, and the Carrie Nation satire
is excellent, although the idea had the
edge taken off by another organization
some weeks ago. Still THE City Sorts
handle the affair very humorously and
make an enjoyable entertainment out OF
it. The olio consists of clever acts given
by the Josselin trio. kittie Miley, Mark

endeavor the boy, upon whom they have
bestowed the title of The Imp, is be-

some very good comedy in the side re-

MISS HasWell appears as Marian Wolton

girl. The role is another of those which
require little else from an actress than
to look pretty and to diffuse a general
