Thd anniversary of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln occurred on Wednesday and thfe schools were not in session nor tiie bank . open, since it is a legal holiiJiy. The contemplation of the life of this great, patriot called of God to lead toe nation at one of th» most' perilous times in its history, was 1 never more beneficial than now and those of our statemen who are guided I most by the principles of government taught and exemplified by Abraham Lincoln are our safest and most patriotic men. The name of Lincoln is enshrined in our history by the aide of 1 our great Washington and it will be revered as long as the Republic shall exist. i -~" Making Good. There Is no way or making lastin t friends like "Making Good:" and Doctor ' Pierce's medicines well exemplify this, and their friends, after mora than two decades of popularity, are numbered by the hundreds of thousands. They have •made good* and they have not made drunkards. A good, honest, square-deal medicine of K-nown composition is Dr. Pierce's aoidco Medical Discover >. It still enjoys an im- > mense sale, while meat of the preparations that have come Into prominence In the earlier period of Its popularity have "gone by the board ■ and are never more heard of. There must be some reason for this long-time popularity and that is to bo found, in its superior merits. When once given a fair trial for weak stomach, i or for liver and blood affections, its superior curative qualities are soon manifest; iience it has survived and grown in popular favor, while scores of less meritorious articles have suddenly flashed Into favor (or a brief period ana then been as soon forgotten. lor a torpid-liver with its attendant Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per- ! haps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated i ; tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite, i with distress after eating, nervouyiess and debility, nothing is so good as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It's an honest, square-deal medicine with- all its Ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper — no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug, therefore don't accept a substitute that the dealer may possibly make a little bigger profit. Insist on your right to have what you call tor. Don't buy Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription expecting it to prove a "cure-all." It is only advised for woman's special ailments. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. Less advertised than some preparations sold for like purposes, its sterling curative virtues still main tain its position in the front ranks, where It stood over two decades ago. As an invigorating tonic and strengthening nervine it is unecualed. It won't satisfy those who want " booze," for there is not a drop of alcohol in it. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, the oricinal Little Liver Pills, although the first pill of their kind In the market, still lead, and when once tried are ever afterwards favor. Easy to lake as candy— one to three a dose. Much imitated but neper equaUd. THIRD Y. M. A. ENTERTAINMENT. The lotus Quartette of Philadelphia Nezt Tuesday. The management of the Cape May Y. M. A. Course of entertainments, gr> at pleasure in announcing for the third number of the course, the return of the Lotus Quartette, which gave such universal satisfaction at the Hotel Columbia last summer This is one of the finest in* the United States, and is- winning newlaurels rally, as it appears in various courses through the east. The indi vidual members of the quartette are soloists of rare power, whilctogether ! their voices harmonize perfectly, projducing the most beautiful musical i effect. The Brackway Lecture Buresu j planning to make this quartette a ; special feature in their courses for next year. To fail tq hear them will he to j miss one of th' greatest musical treats offered to the Cape May public. I. Henry Kowalski. known in New ; and Philadelphia, also in Europe, one of the gieatest teachers of music, has trained each member, and j it is due to his influence that the com- ' | biuation was formed. The Quartette is I ! his special pride and he has spared no effort to make it the best combination | of male voices on the Lyceum platform. The last four entertainments of the . course ar£_^l>y-sal! means the best. ' Still, it has been Ugcided to sell tickets] for the four numbers^. t $1.00, reserved seats $1 25. Single admission. 50 cents. Thet next number"of the course will be Frank Dixon, the prince of plat- j form orators. Wearing shoes with thin soles and allowing the soles of the feet to absorb the dampness and cold from the ground pavement causes more coughs than any other one thing. It is better to vents the cough, but if too late get a remedy that is safe.
