Horeb, Tenn., Jan. 10, 1906. "C. I. Hood Co., Lowell, Mass. 'I have suffered ail , my life, until lately, from inherited scrofula. When a mere babe I had a scrofulous sore back of my ear. At 21 I had 13 scrofulous lumps on my neck. At 37 the disease assumed a new and tantalizing form. My eyes were affected so that I could not read after sunset, and when I closed them it was difficult to reopen them. There was always intolerable itching all over my body;" Then a tumor on my neck changed to the front of my neck, suppurated and was folImmaI Vtw Af Kam until M l IT and broken. I became so weak I could 'scarcely walk, and could hardly attend to my teaching. - All the medicine I tried failed to help until I began the use of Hood's Sarsanarilla. In less ' than three months the sores healed, a troublesome catarrhal taint disappeared

PEOPLE OF CITY MUSICAL CIRCLES

WERE SOLICITED TO AID IN HAVING NATIONAL THEATEE BUILT. . All AGENT OF MAURICE GRAll Visited Richmond in An Effort To I Get Signers For Project -Also Sold Books. ; Several Richmond people who are high in" musical circles, were visited last week by' a woman who represented herself as an agent of the wellknown opera promoter, Maurice Grau, and with the object of getting Richmond people to sign their names to a petition which will be presented to Congress, asking that a national theater, on the plan of similar institution in foreign countries, be subsidized by the government and made a permanent institution. The woman called on a number of Richmond people and showed names in her book of prominent people who favored such action by Congress. Besides asking for signatures, , a book, containing 50 of the leading srrand operas, was offered for sale. This book was compiled by Maurice Grau and was a valuable one among musicians. It is offered for $50, or for $40, if the buyer signs the petition. . It is understood that while several people signed the petition, no books were sold in this city and a few Richmond people who were visited, were ofilhe opinion that the woman was not all that she represented herself to be.

There will be another meeting of the commissioners this coming Saturday and it is probable that a decision will then be reached. It is regarded as more than probable that the commissioners' action will be ad verse to the wishes of the trustees of Ithaiiomr for the Friendless, who met iaIastiad decided to sell the nifbn hjfeEIome site-to the counCxftvided the county would build the women 's. jail -at -that place.

CHRISTIANITY fl KEY TO SOLUTION

OF PROBLEMS OF , OUR MODERN INDUSTRIAL LIFE SAYS REV. HOWARD. COST OF LIVING INCREASED Selfishness of Human Nature Given as Fundamental Raason For Many Present Evils. Last evening, at the First English Lutheran church the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Howard, spoke on "Can Christi anity solve tue Problem of our Mod ern Industrial Life!" As an introduction the Rev. Mr. Howard spoke on the evolution of the present industrial life and cited its following evils; non employment under excessive and unnecessary hazardous conditions, the sweat shops and child labor; excessive hours of labor such as are required of the chandelier maker, the freight agent and the railroad engineer jinsufficient and inadequate wages; the employers view of labor as a commodity only, and the great industrial wars, com monly called "strikes." He showed with accurate figures the appalling increase of the cost of living to - the average individual. In 1890 it was $91.54 and today it is $98.31. , The Rev. Mr. Howard assigned as the cause of these evils the rapid chansre from the domestic to -the fac tory system, the ignorance of the laws of a true political economy and the growing selfishness of human nature. " He concluded, his sermon by the statement that Christianity's solution of the problem presented was by revealing the true philosophy of the relation'of the employed and the employer and by the regeneration of the sinful' hearts of the factors in the problem.1" : t i 1 i J WANT PART OF THIRD WARD DRY MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO CLEAR ALL SALOONS FROM "GOOSETOWN." THE FIFTH WARD ORDINANCE Will Come Up For Action at Next Meeting of Council Opinions of Councilmen. A member of the city council is authority for the statement that at the next meeting of council, a week from today, an ordinance will be introduced declaring the entire Fifth Ward and the Third Ward north of the Panhandle railroad, residence portions of the city. The, object of this ordinance is to make 'that part of the city commonly ".feferled to as " Goosetown " a td'.'i neighborhood. For the past three" weeks residents of the Fifth Ward south of s the ' Pan Handle tracks have beem signing a petition asking council to declare the Fifth a residence ward. If this petition was to be granted it would effect only two saloons, Richard Hassard's at 1400 North F street and Henry Lennard's, at 601 North Twelfth street. The driving out of these two saloons fronJk the .Fifth Ward would leave only one saloon north of the railroad, John' Schell 's, at GOO North Twelfth street, directly opposite Lennard's saloon and safe in the Third Ward. It is said that council will be asked to declare the north half of the Third ward dry for this one reason more than anything else, as it is regarded that an injustice would ' le done Hassard and Lennard in forcing them to quit business and leaving their only competitor in sole possession of the "field." I Councilman Lef twick of the Fifth

Ward stated yesterday that he was not preparing such an ordinance to present to council4 but admitted that there was considerable agitation concerning the matter and that it was probable that some action would be taken by the residents of the north half of the Third Ward. He thought it more probable that the residents, of the Third Ward would draw up a remonstrance to the county commissioners against granting Schell a license when the one he is onw operating an expires May 1, rather than preparing a petition to be presented to council praying that the Third ward he declared a residence 'portion of the city. Councilman Norris of the Third ward was asked yesterday if the residents of the north half of the Third were drawing up a petition or a remonstrance and he stated that ,he was not aware of any such action be

ing taken. From the same source of information which has been referred to it is learned that there is no intention of circulating a petition or remon strance among the residents of the north half of the Third Ward but that a few men who are engineering the 'drv ward" crusade in the Fifth are preparing an ordinance to the effect stated, and that this ordinance will be completed in time to have it presented to Council for consideration at its next meeting. A canvass on the probable reception such an ordinance would receive from the present council shows that it would be defeated by a vote of 9 to 7 with one councilman on "the fence" and inclined to vote for the measure. If the ordinance was not presented Until the new council convened in May it would probably meet a similar fate, being voted down (5 to 4. However, the men who are fathering the movement express confidence in the measure being acted favorably upon. An ordinance declaring the north half of the Third ward "dry" was presented to council once before but was defeated. INDIANAPOLIS LOOKS GOOD. To Get the Open Air : Automobile Show This Summer Will Mean . , i Much to City. From present appearances it looks as if Indianapolis will be ' the city where the 1906 open-air Automobile show will be held. At the close of the Chicago show, the dealers voted " al most unanimously in favor of the In diana Capital, although the vote.was not official. , GOLDING OPERA COMPANY,.

The Golding Opera Company of Richmond will give an entertainment Wednesday, February 14, at the Masonic opera House in Cambridge for the . benefit of the Cambridge City Lodge, No. 9, K. of P. The entertainment will be interesting and clean throughout, consisting of singing, dancing and magic tricks. DALBEYS WILL SUCCEED. With Their Pictorial Souvenir of Richmond 125 Business Firms Have Taken Space in Book.

VALENTINE'S DAY IS NOT DYING OUT

BOOK SELLERS ARE HAVING A BIG SALE OF FANCY LOVE TOKENS. UNIQUE MODELS APPEARING To Catch the Eyes of Children Who ; Are the Best Patrons Flowers Are Acceptable. Cupid, with his hearts and flowers will celebrate his annual holiday ou Wednesday, Velentine's Day, and the usual number of fancy and plain, comic and serious valentines are to be had at the book-dealers. Although to many it seems that in terest in Velentine's Day dying out sales of valentines are increasing each year and new and unique model:! are appearing to keep up the interest. Most of those fairy-like crea tions of five or ten years ago, with tinsel, celluloid and little doves, are passing away, but the new kinds, more modern and more expressive of modern "love" are to be had. It is the young generation that takes the most interest in St., Valentine. Pennies, carefully hoarded since Christmas are expended with as much care as if it was a question of an investment in either bank stock or government bonds. With close calculation, a few pennies go a Ion? ways toward getting just what is wanted, but a look of awe generally appears on the childish face when a much coveted valentine, after being priced, is found to be worth '65 cents or in that neighborhood. Besides 5 the children, however, grown-ups often use tke day as a special one: in which to send flowers aud in most circles, it is considered, "quite the thing" to do this. Flewers" with an "Ob, how thoughtful, "and a,uiue. extra seuuweut, cspccwijr vm-, this day. Far from dying but; it looks as. if the spirit of St. Valentine will continue to be perpetuated for years. r COMMITTEE TO - miHiiv ininAiinif V bb HUIY TO ARRANGE PLANS FOR ENLARGING FIRST ENGLISH LUTHERAN CHURCH. PLANS BEING CONSIDERED Probable That the Present Sunday School Room Will be Built v Out to Sidewalk. Thursday evening a committee selected by the members of the First English Lutheran church will meet to arrange plans for the enlargement of the chureh. The west wine nf fh church is at present used as a Sunday school room but it is now entirely too small to be used for such a purpose and the committee will try to solve the. ways and means of increasing the size of the church building. ' . ? ':'::, Y 'tr.'; ' ' ' '"' ' Two plans will be considered. The first t will be to build the Sunday school room, which now sits back nearly thirty feet from South A street, to the sidewalk. The' second plan is to use the present church auditorium as a Sunday "school room and to build a church building where the Sunday school room is now located. It is thought more than probable that the first plan will be the one adopted though it is not probable that the committee .will reach a decision for some time to come. The Sunday school has had such a wonderful growth that it now numbers about 250 young people and it is necessary to place the primary class in the basement of the churrh and to divide up the other classes in he ehurch auditorium and the Sunday school room. It 4s probable; that in i. i i ciiac i lie cujAixuince ucfiucs w ciuai the Sunday school room that the addition will be made' two stories high with twelve rooms and a large gallery in the building.
