A very appreciative audience filled the
Town Hall, last night, on the occasion of
the presentation by pupils of Miss Ada L.
Lspham, of the fairy play, “The Choice
of flowers." in connection with which
was given a delightful musical and liter-
ary programme, rendered by well-known
and capable artists. The play was most
beautiful. The stage was decorated with
many flowers and plants, arranged to
represent a garden scene, and the effect
was charming. The young ladies who
participated were costumed to represent
various flowers, as follows:
Amy Hughes; Dahlia, Stella Austin; Vio-
let,(irnce Street: Lily, Marion Hughes:
Hollyhock. Miriam Bogg; Rose, Eleanor
Hughes. The crowning of the Rose, as
queen, was a pretty ceremony. Special
mention should be made of the daisy
dance, in which those who participated
wore chains and crowns of daisies and
pink and white tarlatsn sashes as part of
their costume. The chorus of Herber-
bells and the four Poppies acquitted
themselves with great credit to their in-
structor, who received many compli-
mente on the vet y successful presenta-
tion of the play. The musical and liter-
ary programme consisted of selections by

Last Saturday Ambrose Jewett and
Harold Pratt went down the river, but
owing to the roughness of the water out-
side the harbir they started to go ashore
at Phipps’ beach. In trying to do so they
lost their oarlocks and had to paddle
ashore. Jewett started off to see if he
could get some oarlocks to get home with.
While he was gone Pratt thought he
would move further up, where there was
a better place to beach the. boat. Just
about this time a strong breezy sprang
up, which carried him out, and despite
his efforts he could not control the boat.
He finally managed to run against a
stake and held to it until Jewett came
back, when, by shouting, he managed to
let him know where he was, and with
help he was got back to shore again.
Then, with borrowed oarlocks, they men-
aged to get home.

Last June Dick Crawford brought his
twelve months old child, suffering from
infantile diarrhoea, to me. It had been
weaning at four months old and being
sickly everything ran through it like
water through a sieve. I gave it the
usual treatment in such cases but with
out benefit. The child kept growing
thinner until it weighed but little more
than when born, or perhaps ten pounds.
I then started the father to giving Cham-
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. Before one bottle of the 25
cent size had been used, a marked im-
provement was seen and its continued
use cured the child. he weakness and
puny constitution disappeared and its fa-
ther and myself believe the child’s life
was saved by this Remedy. J. '1‘. Mar-

Special Sale of Muslin Underwear.
We have been trying for the past three years to create in the minds of our
Indy friends a favorable impression of our Underwear department. and we note
with considerable satisfaction the steady growth of the business in this de rt-
ment, and particularly the demand for our celebrated HOME MADE UN ER-
- WEAR, every piece of which is warranted. Formerly ladies who wished nice
underwear were obliged to go out of town to make their purchases, but by keep-
ing this department constantly supplied with the latest and most artistic garments,
we have been able to ootuin much of the patronage that formerly went to New
".'ork. In order to bring this department still more prominently before the public.
we shall on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, July 18, 10 and 20, make special in-
ducements and we trust that everyone will come and get acrluainted with our
stock, whether they wish to purchase cr not.
