It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood puriHers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces.

An adjourned mooting of the borough council was held on Monday evening with all members present except Messrs. Smith and Keck. An opinion from th solicitor in reference to the publication of the financial statement, which coun cil had decided to publish in but two papers, stated that the law made no provision for a foreign paper. Ilefore proceeding .to open the bids it was de cided to return the letter of the Slavon ian Truth. A motion prevailed, with the bidders' consent, that if the two lowest bids should vary in price the dilTerence would be averaged. The bids were then opened and found to read as follows: TRIBUNK, #62.80; Prog re as, $60.15; Press. $62.25. The work was awarded the Press and Prog /•mat $61.20 each. The auditors were instructed to add the date of maturity of the several ob ligations of the borough for publication in the statement. It was decided that the rate of wages of all officers and employes remain the same as last year. A letter from Solicitor Stroll, re gretting his inability to act on matters referred to him and stating that he would attend to the same in time for the regular meeting, was accepted. Jacob Wolf asked on behalf of citizens of the Fourth ward the privilege of organizing a fire company. The matter was referred to the fire and water com mittee. Wan There a Square Deal? Citizens and newspapers in the upper end of the county are exercised over a scandal connected with the award of the new courthouse to a Pittsburg ar chitect. It is alleged that there was undue influence In the matter, and fur ther developments are anticipated from the testimony of one of the county com missioners, Mr. Guiney, who was not in accord with his two confreres in dispos ing of the half million dollar contract. To guard against any likelihood of an unfortunate complication of this kind, and in the hope that business methods might exclude political influences, an advisory board of seven members of tfie bar was originally named to confer with the county commissioners over the courthouse plans. In making the award, however, the advisory board was overlooked by two of the throe commis sioners, and to make matters worse the board of commissioners was divided, the two members—so much in evidence—be ing at variance with the other member. Aged I.ail.v Die* of Heart Failure.

The point to which the petition asks for an extension is in the Third ward, where live acres of land have been offered free as a location for the Salmon-Cross Com pany's iron works. Half a mile of track- Is all that would be necessary to build. It is believed that the petition will be favorably considered by the railroad company when it is presented. Protracted Litigation Ended.

MEN HAVE GRIEVANCES. Meeting of United Mine Worker* to lie Held to Settle Dißit-ultles. Trouble is again brewing at the col lieries of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company and at the Silver Hrook colliery on the South Side. Yesterday's Plain Speaker says that at Silver Hrook the company was asked to reduce the rent aud also the price on coal, which the men claim is the highest in tho region. Every fuuvily occupying a company house Is obliged to pay $2.75 per month for coal whether any coal is :sed or not. The men believe that, they are being unjustly treated by the company and he officials in charge were recently asked to make a reduction in order to equalize the retit and coal charges. No answer has been received, hut the men expect to receive a reply by tho 24th Inst, on which date a general meet ing of the United Mine Workers will he held to consider the matter. It is hoped that the company will grunt the request. The difficulty at the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre ollleries is the alleged dis crimination exercised by the officials against some of the men. It is said that the company is gradually discharging tho old hands and replacing them with new ones, which is considered unjust, as It Is alleged no valid reasons exist for the discharge of the experienced hands. A mooting of Local 166, of the United Mine Workers, has boon called for Thurs day evening when this and other griev ances will bo considered. It Is alto gether likely that a committee will he appointed at this meeting to confer with tho officials with a view of effecting a satisfactory settlement. PERSONALITIES. M rs.

The summons came unexpectedly and the sad news caused genuine sorrow among the many people of the community who enjoyed her acquaintance. Mrs. McClellan was esteemed and respected by all who knew her. During the forenoon she attended her household duties as usual and felt no warning of the impending danger.

Judge Craig at the opening of court on Monday explicitly charged the various constables throughout the county to visit all hotels and public houses in their districts and to report to court all such hotels containing slot machines and other gambling devices. The judge said all such machines must go. He also impressed upon the officers his determination to keep all barrooms closod tight on Sundays and asked their co-operation. In his address to tho grand jury he instructed that body to take legal steps towards collecting certain amounts sur charged the county commissioners in years past by the hoards of county au ditors.

It is an utter impossibility for nnj woman to be beautiful who will no' take the time to care for her body pro perly, suppress all emotions that de crease vitality and see to it that hei blood is in a pure condition, says i; writer in New York "Toilettes." Es peeitlly on the latter everything de ponds. There are so many foes that contiuually attaek the aspirant for good looks that it is necessary to la ; continually on the alert to combat them. Hereditary influences according to medical authority, play an import nut part in this list of enemies. Com | plaints of the stomach, disorders of the nervous system, disorders of the liver j will derange even the healthiest sys tem and play havoc with personal ap I pearanees, and it Is a well-known and undisputed fact that most of the blem ishes and disease of the skin arise from the unhealthy action of liver, kidneys, etc. Through the pores of tlie skin many matters pass that are abstracted from the blood and thereby frequently indicts injury on its own structure. Nobody's blood can be per fectly pure if a disposition to consti pation exists. Indigestion and dyspep sia are all followers of constipation and that, of course, is the ruin of a clear complexion, bright eyes, etc. In the Spring of every year the blood is sluggish and the liver torpid, show ing that the system is in need of a general houseeleauitig. It is quite an undeniable fact that in Winter we par take of the richest foods, pies, pastries, etc. This is all right enough for cold weather because thru we need a good fuel to keep us warm and protect the nerve centers, but for Spring a new course is advisable. Stewed or fresh fruit, eggs, broiled or boiled tisb should be substituted for the heavy dishes, with the addition of plenty of lettuce, watercresses, etc. Hot biscuits, cakes, oatmeal, buckwheat, etc.". should be dispeused with, if not altogether, then at least for a considerable time. Chops, steaks, lamb. beef, chickens should be put in the place of pork, ham, corned beef, beans and salted tisli. Dandelion greens should be eaten heartily because they are excellent for the general health and complexion Candies and all rich cakes are strictly forbidden. It is said that buttermilk taken with regularity three times a day is very beneficial, aud as a wash for the skin it has no equal. Regular ex ercise in t he open air is also necessary, but (are must be taken that the matter is not overdone. Sponge hatha should be taken daily In Spring and it is well to add a little sensall in the water, as it invigorates and refreshes the sys tem. which is more easily fatigued at this season of the year than at any other. Mild aperients are also hcucli eial to the skin. For a sallow and dull-looking complexion a toaspooufu) of phosphate of soda dissolved in a glass of vichy water and taken three times a clay will lie found very good. A very old-fashioned recipe for a Spring medicine is sulphur, cream of tartar and molasses, it is the meanest tiling to swallow, hut everybody, es pecially grandmothers will preach elo quent sermons 011 the efficacy of this mixture, which any druggist will pre pare in proper proportion as to iugreili cuts, A tahlespoonful should be takeu before breakfast every alternate three days—that is. take the medicine three days and ytop three days, and so on I-'HUWH** l'-alenco candlcstlckx from Florence ore in the UUtliral colors of the (lowers they represent, even to the leaves of the foliage.
