Councilman Parker aro9 to mgges-t tnat the case was properly a county Tammany affair solely and Timmany would have the credt alone, as Tam many men would predominate and be in charge While at the IX-mooratlc From the day that a yonng man starts tut to seek his first position to the end of is business life, bis health has a world to do with his snccess. When a young man applies to a business man for a position, bin personal appearance has a deal to do with the outcome. " Personal appearance" does not mean dress alone. It docs not mean exterior cleanliness alone. A young man may be clean, so far as soap and water will make him, but be disfigured by unsightly pimples eruptions and ulcerations on the kin. These are due to impurities in the blood. The blood becomes impure because it is improperly nourished. Instead of receiving the life-giving elements of the food, it receives the foul emanations of indigestion, bilousness and costiveness. The reason that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the bast remedy for disorders of this description is that it goes right to first causes. It gives a man an appetite " like a horse." It facilitates the flow of digestive juices. It corrects all disorders of the digestion, and makes the assimilation of the life-giving elements of the food perfect. It invigorates the liver. It purifies and enriches the blood. It makes the muscles strong and active. It tones and steadies the nerves. It makes a young man look as he should strong of body, alert of brain and clean and whole some of skin. Medicine dealers sell it, and have nothing "just as good." " I had enema in its worst form," writes Atutin Ratntcy. Esq.. of SaltiUo, Huntingdon Co., fa. I trird three doctors but got no re lief. I thought it would xrt me wild, it Itched and burned to badly. The neighbors thought I WOT'.d never be cured. I tuJk your 'Ooidea tdeuical Ducorcry ' and am bow wtlL" This, he said, constitut ed his only objection to the payment of the claim. There was an imnatlpnt f!anh in th mayor's eyes as he faced Mr. Parkef c:ub Tanimany vou hav l share Than he began: honors with others. This la the con- "I have already gaid, gentlemen, I tention and U waa last nl'nt tnat will ty the bill mvself if rou r.t:mom was Deln "P01 lavishly m to disallow it." Thfn tn Mr Pri, ea,,le tolla 10 St a ruIIn8: uPn the "But the county authorities were not In session and there wa3 no wiy of getting action from that direction un til they were in session. I'll tell you one thing; tha.t if you should go with out your good warm breakfast and did not know where In the world you were to get in you would mighty soon forget all about red tape, tte county authorlteis and every thing else. No, sir; there la no reasonable excuse for anyone going hungry in Astoria, and they won't If it is In my power to help them." With this the motion to allow the claim was poased, Mr. Parker voting favorable with the others. The council then took up the matter of awarding contracts for the city printing, the Astorian receiving tho contract to publish the city advertis ing for the coming year. J. S. Delr linger was awarded the Job printing. A resolution was then presented, of which Councilman Cook waa th au thor, declaring intention -to build a road at a point beginning at the west- em extremity of Bond street, themce running to a point 30 feet at right angles to the N. E. corner of block 2, in Taylor's Astoria; thence along the present existing trestle on Taylor avenue to its intersection with Kis slngton avenue." The introduction of this resolution stirred up the amusing incident of the evening. The ball waa started by Councilman Goddard, who opposed the resolution on the alleged ground of economy. He declared that the city could not afford the improvement at the present time and wound up with a retrospective and pathetic allusion to the time when Astoria warrants "were being hawked around for 65 cents on the dollar." "They're worth 100 cents now and, by the powers that be, we will keep them there," be declared. who Is controversy from the chief, now In England. Whatever the decision is. It was said last night, a dinner will be given Mr. fcryan and he will be aaked to speak. He will be allowed to say whatever lie pleases, but ft will be intimated to him that while Tammany does not ask him to abandon hla free silver creed, there are other issues In which Tammany is more interested at the moment and which he will be asked to dilata upon at length. Tammany's gurreader to Bryan la complete and Is emphasized by the fact that the organization wants him ail to Itself and does not want to share tho honor of welcoming him with any one el. It haa'not been decided yet whether or not a rousing mass meet. ing will be held, at which Mr. Bryan will be asked to speak but this is re garded as unlikely . From here Mr. Bryan wiU go to New England, where be will consult with George Fred Williams and other of his followers m that section of the country. BOERS LEAVING LADTSMITH.
