FRS. EVeIDg OF the LyCoun Course.
Reported for The Commonwealth.

On Friday evening, in the auditor
iunl of the graded school the initial
number Of the Lyceum Course was
presented. On this occasion, the
"Vassar Girls" gave a concert,
scarcely to be surpassed, in the We
rlety OF instruments represented, in
taste in selections Or in skill.
Each member Of the program is
deserving Of special comment, and
where the standard Of excellence is
So consistently maintained it is as dif-
ticlIt to choose the more excellent.
as to distinguish and divide iwix5
south and southwest side, but per
sonally. it seems to me (if. it is not
partially for the pieces tbamseivee)
the rendering Of The Last Rose Of
Summer" and OF Where the River
Shannon Flows were the browning
achievements Of the evening.
"The Last Rose Of Summer" was
a cornet solo and was given with ex-
quisite taste and that simplicity
which is the highest achievement Of
art.
Another noteworthy feature Of
the enter tainment was an Hawaiian
song given by Saxaphone. This
music Of q se1ai-civiized people
must have come as q great surprise
to thoughtful English speaking
audience for it had none Of the mo
notonus wild, weird unna1 NJ orized
"tom-tom" effect, which one natur-
ally expects from such 2 source. On
TIE contrary the music was dei;g!it-
fully harmoeous and nos unlike an
English hymn with its insistent ap-
pealing touch Of melancholy.
Any account Of the evening which
failed to note the artistic literary
work Of Miss Plat would he sadly
incomplete. Her recitations were,
indeed, highly finished productions
and most pleasingly varied the must
cal program.
Owing to the fact that our thea
tire was also open that night, the
audience was not large. 1t was
however, enthusiastic and undenia-
bly, representative Of the intelligence
and taste of the community.
There will be four more evenings
in the series. and as the course offers
entertainment of a higher order
than it is usually possible to enjoy
in the town, it is to be hoped large
number will avail themselves of the
privilege of attending the four re.
naming numbers of the I.yceun
Course.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR 4
GOOD STOMACH.
This Offer Should be a Warning t
Every Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical jour
nails recently have had much to say
relative to famous millionaire's
offer Of million dollars for a new
stomach.
This great multi-lmillionaire was
too busy to worry about the condi-
zion of his stomach. He allowed his
dyspepsia to run from bad to worse
until in the end it became incurable.
His misfortune serves as q warn
ing to others.
Every one who suffers with dys-
pepsia for q few years will give
everything he owns for new stem
ach.
> Dyspepsia is commonly caused BY
an abnormal state Of the gastric
juices, or BY lack Of tone in the walls
Of the stomach. The result is that
the stomach loses its power to d.
gest food.
We are now able TO supply certain
missing clements help to restore
to the gastric juices their digestive
