Licensed Saloon.

Wishing to get a living without working hard, I have leased commodious rooms in Mr. Lovemoney’s Block, corner of Ruin Street and Perdition Lane,—next door to the undertakers, —-where I shall manufacture drunkards, paupers and lunatics, beggars, criminals and ‘* dead beats,” for sober and industrious people to support. Backed up by the law, I shall add to the number of fata! accidents, painful diseases, disgraceful quarrels, riots and cold-blooded murders. My liquors are warranted to rob some of life; many of reason; more of property; and all of true peace; to make fathers, fiends; wives, widows; and ehildren orphans. I| shall cause mothers to forget their infants, children to grow up in ignorance; young women to lose their priceless purity and young men to become loafers, swearers, gainblers, skeptics and ‘fellows of the baser sort.”

Lady customers supplied with beer, as good as the best ‘*home-brewed, which will not intoxicate” them, but only make them stupid, slatk, lazy, coarse and quarrelsome.

Sunday customers will please enter at the back door.

Boys and girls are the raw material of which I make drunkards, ete. Parents may help me in this work by always sending their children for the ‘home-brewed article.

At two hours’ notice | am able to put husbands in a condition to reel home, break the furniture, beat their wives and kick their children out of the doors; I shall also fit mechanics to spoil their work, be discharged and become tramps.

If one of my regular customers should decide to reform, I will fora few pennies, with pleasure, induce him to take just one glass more, or by offering him ‘free drinks,’ tempt him to start again on the road to hell, The money he would spend in bread and other things for his family, will buy luxur- ies for mine. And then when his money is gone I will persuade him to run in debt, for i can collect the bill by attaching his

wages.

Orders promptly filled for Fevers, Scrofula, Coasumption, or Delirium Tremens.

In short, I will do my best to help to bring upon all my customers, Debt, Dis- grace, Disease, Despair and Death, in the World, and in the next, the pangs of the second death.

The above may also be obtained of my high-toned agent, Mr. Frank DeSeav er, Druggist, cor. of Main Street and Shoddy Avenue, who keeps a full stock of Opiam, Pure Liquors, and all the popular Cordials, Tonics and Bitters, for medicinal purposes only.

GOD'S WARNING VOICE.

Having closed my ears to God’s warning voice—Hab. ii, 12, 15; Ps ix, 16, 17; Rom ii, 9—having made a league with Hell and sold myself to work iniquity, and having paid for my license, I have a right to bring all the above evils on my friends and neigh- bors for the sake of gain.

It is the duty of every person who has used soschee’s German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without im- mediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all drug- gists to recommend it to the poor, dying con- sumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 50,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask your druggist about it.

A Millionaire's Death,

SINGLE Copies

VOL. 19.

A Port Elgin, Ont., despatch says that Detective McGowan and Constable Hetfe- ran on Tuesday arrested James Key and Henry Raymond on a warrant charging them with the slaying of Wm. Webster, the Chicago millionaire, at Burgoyne. Keys kept a hotel in a small village in Bruce Co., Ontario, and Webster was placed in his charge by some Chicago friends. He was supposed to be of a weak mind, and soon after his retention at Burgoyne escaped, but was speedily captured. It is supposed during the two or three days he was absent on this escapade he met with the wound from the effects of which he died. While Webster was away Keys sent and informed his son from Chicago of the matter, and the son hired Raymond to assist in capturing and looking after his father. The wound festered and Webster is stated to have been eaten alive by vermin. The prisoners were taken to Walkerton to appear before the magistrate. McGowan will ask for remand in order to produce witnesses, of which there are supposed to be about a dozen. He says the evidence he can produce wil! be sensational and revolting.

Maud S.

Mr. Joseph este. whe bought Maud S., when she was only four years old, for the late William H. Vanderbilt, says the Turf, Field and Farm, has just offered Mr. Bonner, on behalf of a gentleman of wealth, $100,000 in cash fer the Queen. Mr. Bonner paid Mr. Vanderbilt $49,000 for Maud S.; but she was lame the day she was delivered at Mr. Bonner’s stable. Mr. Bonner, however, shod her so as_ to relieve her of her lameness, and since then she has twice beaten her record, having low- ered it to 2:08}. Now he is offered $100,- 000 for the peerless mare, so that he would make $60,000 profit if he should dispose of her—a pretty iarge sum for shoeing a horse. But Mr. Bonner refuses to sell Maud 8. at any price.

<-> <a A Great Ball Tosser.

The Boston Base Bal] Club has purchas- ed the release of Michael J. Kelly trom the Chicago Club, paying therefor $10,600, and on Monday that player was signed by Treas- urer Billings of the Boston Club for the season of 1887. Kelly is considered by many the greatest ball tosser in the coun- try, with but few equals asa general player. There is scarcely a position in the nine that he cannot fill. His home position is right field, and here he covers a wonderful amount of territory. He has filled the posi- tion of catcher with the most pronounced success, being quick as a cat, and his throw- ing to bases very fine. But itis as a_ base runner that he has won the graatest fame. He will receive $5,000 a year.

oe ee A Straw House,

America’s latest and most novel idea is a straw house. At the forthcoming American exhibition, which is to open May 2 at Earl's Court, Kensington, will be a house of straw, now being made in Philadelphia. This house isan American suburban villa, very hand- some and thoroughly artistic in design, two and a half storeys high, and covering a space of 42 by 50 feet. Itis built entirely of ma- terials manufactured by straw, foundations, timber, flooring, sheathing, roofiing—every- thing in fact, including the chimney—the ma- terial being fireproof. The inside finish will be in imitation rosewood, mahogany, walnut, maple, ash, ebony and other fine woods, the straw lumber taking perfectly well the sur- face and color of the desired grain.—Galig- nani's Magazine.

A City of Champagne.

Epernay, in France, is a vast subterra- nean city of champagne. For miles and miles there are streets hewn out of the solid chalk, flanked with piles of bottles of champagne of all blends and qualities. There is no light in this labyrinth of streets crossings and turnings, except what tae spluttering candles affurd. All is dark, dank and damp, with the temperature away down about zero. The largest cham- pagne cellars cover 45 acres, and contain five million bottles of wine. There is a whole street in Epernay lined with fine chateaux, all owned by champagne men.
