International Cricket.

Philadelphia cricket enthusiasts will
have an opportunity to see the first
team ever sent here 10y the Marylebone
Cricket clIb. the leading cricket or
ganiZation Of England, as result of
arrangements just made by the Asso-
ciated Cricket Clubs Of that city
through Lord Harris. The Marylebone
club has promised to send a team to
the United States in July under the
captaincy Of +. w. Mann, this years
leader at Cambridge university. 1t is
assured that the visiting team will be
an especially strong one, both because
the BritisherS will be DESTROYS Of max
ing brilliant showing and because
the good form shown by Philadelphia
cricketers in England in 1903 created
n strong impression. The choice Of
July as the month for the trip instead
of October will be commended because
in the former month the season will be
ut its height and the American cr1ck-
eters in good shape. Hitherto when
visitors have come to this country in
October they have found the players
here stale and interest on the wane.

There is a Difference.

The difference between Kenne-
dy's Laxative Honey and Tar and
all other cough syrups is that it
moves the bowels, thus expelling
a cold from the system. This re-
lakes the nerve tissues and by its
healing and soothing effect on the
throat and lun-> the cough is re-
lieved-cured entirely. Kenne-
dy's is the original laxative honey
and tar. 1t contains no opiates.
