As early IA 2P. M, people began rs.
sembling at the court house for the AZ
ternoon services The church decora'
lions had been transferred to the court
house and decked the judge 8 rostrum,
but IL was soon found that the court

and the exercises were transferred to
the lawn IN front, the band stand being
used for u speaker o rostrun. Mayor
Neal presided at the meeting.
After the opening hymn and prayer
by Rev. Higinbotham, Lead, Kindly
Light, the president favorite hymn,
WAS sung by the male choir. Judge

concluded another hymn by the choir
was followed by IN appropriate address
by Hon. W, II. Neal, who paid u glow
Ing tribute to the public and private
character Of the dead president

ALL WERE PLEASED.
Or. Lyman Abbott Lectures on Our Hom;s
and Their Enemies

A large audience WAS at the tongre-
.ational church, last evening, to take
advantage of the opportunity OF near
ing Dr. LYMAN Abbott. editor Of The
Outlook and one of the most widely
known of Americas lecturers, talk on
..our Homes and Their Enemies. A
great treat was expected and il is safe
ia saw that no one was disappointed.
For more than an hour the audience,
with concentrated attention, hung up
on every word as it issued from the
Inns of the speaker. So great was the
eapcrnpsS to catch every word that the
audience seemed not to stir except
when a ripple of merriment was called
forth by some expression Of wit. 1t
WAS an ideal lecture on the home, one
that appealed to every heart: one that
contained not a word to offend.
AS DR.. Abbott said. it WAS Il familiar
and perhaps commonplace subject but
one of vast Importance. Il love my
country" he said, but my home more.
NV home is dcarer to me than the
church." The speaker said that state
and church are founded on the home
The home is where we begin life, where
We learn our first lessons that are tn
guide us through life.
AS the first enemy of the home, the
sneaker mentioned the self-indulgent
shirt He spoke of the growing ten
dency toward club life and the result
ing tendency toward bachclorhood. He
admonished every young married
couple to acquire a home of their own
for then only is the real home life eX-
perienced in all its peace and JOY. 1t
Is vastly more difficult for people to
oct homes of their own in our large
cities than in towns. villages and small
cities. in the country, 30 per cent. OF
the families own their own homes, III

the subject of marriage and divorce

WHY so MANY FAIL.
The Reason SO Many Catarrh Remedies arc
Unsuccessful.

There are few troubles, for which
there are 50 many remedies ANA 50
called cures as for Catarrh and it
may be added there are few diseases
so difficult to really and permanently
cure
Inhalers. sprays. powders ana
douches are all applied locally and give
temporary relief. often for only rev
hours. and It is doubtful if anything
like a real cure Of catarrh WAS ever ac-
complished by the use of local appll-
cations.
Catarrh is a constitutional disease.
il is in the blood like rheumatism ara
to cure it requires an Internal medi-
cine to act upon the blood, to drive
out the catarrhal poison from the svs-
TEN entirely and anyone can readily
see that "A Salve or powder or lnhar'f
which simply clears off the mucous
membrane of the nose and throat can
have no effect on the real cauS" OF
catarrhal disease.
The remarkable success of the ne"
catarrh remedy. STARTS Catarrh TAD

fem through the natural channels, r."

The girl rctorts that she has not on

she has refused point blank TO marry

indignant than before because the girl
had the bad taste not to fall in love
with her son.

sake Of his lady love. This is a char
acter that quiCkonS the pulse of even
the most blase. and calls forth the aSpi-
ration of the centlcr sex. In the ror-
trayal of such characters Robert E.
Muntell stands foremost and alone He
has won his position by succession of
splendid performances in which great
