Six Doctors Failed to Cure Him. ERYSIPELAS AND SALT RHEUM WAS THE TROUBLE. Burdock Blood Bitters DID MORE THAN SIX DOCTORS COULD DO. -- Mrs. Theo. Newell, Argyle Sound, N.S., expresses her opinion of this wonderful blood remedy in the following letter: "It is with the greatest gratitude that I can testify to the wonderful cur- ative powers of Burdock Blood Bit- ters. For years my husband suffered terribly with Erysipelas and Salt Rheum. He was 30 bad at times that he could no sleep on account of the itching and burn. ing. He had been under the care of six different doctors, but they failed to do him any good. I had read different times of the wonderful cures being made by Bur dock Blood Bitters, so advised him to give ita trial. He did so, and after taking five bottles was cured without a doubt. 1 would strongly advise any person troubled with blood disorders to give B.B.B. a fale trial for I am sure it will cure them." ------------------------ ETI ET ATHENS' HOCKEYISTS.

A Correspondent Reviews The Street Railway Affair At Length--Thinks There Should Be a New Agreement, Kingston, Feb. 10.--(To the Editor): In perusing the t of your inter- view with Mayor lI on the matter of the street railway entanglement, which appeared in Friday's Whig, 1 found myself in a quandary in my en- deavor to determine what kind of a head piece Kingston had in the vhief magistrate, and came to the conelu: sion that he was a man of a fickle and unstable disposition, inclined to be anything or everything by turns, and nothing long, as best suited his whims for the time being; ever ready apparently "to run with the hare, and hunt with the hounds," a "Mr. Fac ing-both-ways," as it were, so change able and chameleon-like, does he ap- pear to be; for on Tuesday morning last we find, according to his own version of the feeling of the citizens then prevailing, as you report him, the council were strongly commended he says, for having declined to be held up by the railway company, on the Mondav night previous, a feeling at first apparently reciprocated by him- self; and then, in the next breath, he assymes to say that "since then a change seems to have taken place," for that while exhibiting his hand some figure by extensive driving through most of the wards, he found that "the people demand the council to accede to the company's request for the bit of double track it wants on upper Princess street, and get the cars running again," and that the citizens, seem to think there was noth ing to fight over !" Marvelous discov- ery ! indicating a change of front on his part also, and therefore a stulti fication of himself in his apparent de sire to curry favor with the companv, at the expense of the actions of the council on Monday night last. In his anxiety to bring out his own svm pathies more clearly and stronc's in order to show which wav he leans, he assumes to assert that the people of Cataraqui ward declare they would snow their representatives under if they dared to cast a vote that would keep the cars from running, and that the voters of Frontenac and Rideau wards would do likewise. What amaz- ine intimacy our condescending mayor would have us believe he has with our entire --ovnulation of 19,000 people, in cludine the whole corps of street car employees and employers. His royal highness will please pardon me, should I deign to decline to accept all this gush as gospel. He may possibly get fifty or one hundred people of his wav of thinking, who are likely interested and evved-on bluffers. having axes to grind; but what of the remaining 18, 000 and over ? He will find that they do not look so lightly on the injudi- cious threats of the agents of the company, to run or mot run the cars, just when and where it suits them, un- Jess they get everything thev take a notion for. As to the company's émployees be- ing thrown out of work at this incle- ment seaSom, when work is difficult to be secured elsewhere. I would ask him whose fault that is? Undoubtedly, the company's, for thers existed no reason whatever why operations should have been suspended when they were, as the company still possessed the same means and facilities to continue the business as it had up to the meeting of the council, when they came on with their stand and deliver order to give them that switch "or they would stop running till it suited them to start agan,--a very reckless and unwise step for a class of people who have been granted a franchise charge, by which to do their bust ness. Instead of getting mified, as a spoiled child 'would, in not getting what it wanted, when it was asked for, one would reasonably have sup posed that the company would have shown sufficient modesty and discre tion to have waited a little while longer, and trusted to time to bring of making the threats they did. The failure to secure the prolomyed switch just now, it seems to me, was not the cause of the stoppage of the cars at all, but it was made the ex mostly all suffering with the That must hive been duite » nroces sion that the Westport hockev team were escorted down town with on their arrival home from here, "A drum and a torchlicht,"" and they per, too. ------n Fools Use Washes And Snuffs.

As the mayor. proceeded in the in ter iew, he seemed to have grown bold | er and more reckless, where he is re- | ported to find that a great number of citizens are very bitter against : some aldermen who went to the city council for their own interests, and who are voting that way." He should have told us who they are. To have failed to do this makes the statement : scarcely less scandalous and sbelous than if he had, and at the same time | yeflects on all the members alike, no distinction having ben pointed out. Are the members made of a sufficient. ily putty composition to stand this ? We are next told that "petitions are being circulated all over the cit demanding that the city council take immediate steps to get the cars run- ' ping again, and if the laying of the | piece of double track on Princess ntreet will do it, to grant the con cession," which he pronounces a small thing." To secure this, why does he not show an anxiety ! that the company be ma to keep up the street to a constant and proper and regular at their expense, instead of ours?

By the way, whal is secret of this deep solicitude for the company : intercsts in contradistinction to, those of the city? Is it his desire to grant the company everything they want without exec from them anything in return? And is the solicitude mu tual between the parties ? In all this it seems to me that the "mayor oc pied_a Very unique, il not enviable positiol ax a Pepresentativc man and chief magistrate of the city.

Too many, no doubt, have been altogether too unmindful of those benefits and that patronage, and have begrudged them too often that success which they deservedly, attained, while here, and would just as soon @&s not see them out of the city--a very mean, narrow, illiberal and wrong feeling to enter tain to any class of citizens, and es pecially to such a deserving and in telligent class of men as they are. It is devoutedly to be wished that it may never be found necessary for them to leave us, for such an event would be a source of regret to all, and it would be difficult, and long before we would be able to find others to fill their places, as generally acceptable as they have proved themselves to be during their long sojourn amongs! us, They have certainly exercised great influence over all classes of citizens, public men and those in private life, and in that manner and by their canny and sunny ways, and persistent honest dealings, with all have attained their desired where the majority of other people, possessed of less taet, would probably have failed.

Toronto News: William Winter, the dean of American dramatic critics, is busy once more in the task of "crush ing" Ibsen. The revival of "A Doll's House,' by a newcomer, named Miss France Hamilton, is the occasion of his latest effort at the destruction of the Norwegian dramatist. On this task he expends, by a rough caleulation, something like 1540 words. He as sures his readers for the hundredth time that Isben is dull, prosaic, insi- pid, and altogether unworthy of seri ous attention, Strangely enough, how: er, "A Doll's House' was acted first just twenty-five years ago. The dull ness and prose and insipidity which Mr. Winter finds in jt have enabled it to survive for a quarter of a century, Practical steps toward the ultimate establishment of a national theatre were taken by Sidney Rosentield when he leased the Savoy Theatre, New York city, where, February 22nd, he will present the Century Theatre play: ers in a series of dramas, comedies, and tragedies, the first being 'Much Ado About Nothing," which will run no longer than four weeks and will be followed by an American character comedy, a revival of Robertson's "Ours," -an American comedy drama, and a revival of "Othello," in which the full strength of the company will be presented. The players are recruit ed from the foremost ranks of the profession, and, when occasions calls, Miss Clara Morris is to be included. Mr. Rosenfield makes the significant annouricement that the public press will be the omly. medium through which the theatre will advertise itself to the public; there will be no bill board or window advertising The so-called mannerisms of Sir Henry Irving are a necessary means of expression with him He is a man with slender limbs whose natural gait would probably lack the dignity neces sary to one who plays heroic roles. Mr. Irving iivented a stride for him self that, however, it may be burles qued, cannot be called undignified. His whole carriage has a certain quality that suggests princeliness. The infirm. ity of his - physique was the first grand obstacle which Irving overcame by what have been dubbed manners by. way of money consideration for the benefits and franchises they enjoy, and out of which to keep the streets in sary standard at oll times. Or, the company themselves might be held to do this at their own expense, and any and every other necessarv, and fair arrangement should be embodied in it to last for a reasonable term of vears, so that city and company alike might be fairly and mutually benefited, free from future frictions and souabbline. be obviat Some people are 50 high and mighty that they can't see their poor rela- telescope.
