Evans, assisted by John T, Watklns
mid Miss Lydla Sailer, was a delight
ful affair. Tho auditorium was well
filled with a sympathetic audience, and
tho pecuniary returns exceeded the
expectations of the most sanguine.
The concert opened with an anthem,
"By the Rivers of Babylon," in which
tho choir made a favorable Impression,
which It sustained throughout. "For
est and Birds," by Mesdames Moon
and Scurry, was very pretty. Their
voices blended well, nnd they were
heartily applauded.
Miss Sailer was persistently encored
after the rendition of her opening se
lection Haw ley's "Gay Gitalin," but
she failed to respond, save with a
bow.
All were on the qui vlve to hear Mr.
Watklns, who has had a season In

sang "Plona," by Stephen Adams, with
much feeling, and was called back.

There is a wonderful medicine for troub

test for thirty years, and has been used sue
cessfully by many thousands of vs omen. It
is Dr. Pierce's I'avorite Prescription It
acts directly on the delicate and important
organs concerned and make them strong,
healthy and vigorous. It allays inflamma
tion, baals ulceration and soothes pain. It
tones and builds up the nerves. It is the
discovery of Dr. K. V. Pierce, an eminent
and skillful specialist, for thirty years chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, at Uiiffalo, N. Y.
This is one of the greatest medical institu
tions in the whole world. During the thirty
years that Dr. Pierce has been at its head
be has gained the unbounded respect of
bis fellow citizens at Buffalo, and they
showed it by making him their representa
tive in the National Congress, from which
position he resigned to give the remainder
of his life to the practice of his chosen
profession, He will cheerfully answer, free
of charge, any letters written to him by
unenug women. Aaaress, as aoove.
