Final details were arranged at a meeting ot (he commission, held late yesterdav afternoon. The deed to the property lias horn drawn and will tie delivered to (he coniniisiKon when the bonds have been sold.

Law Mnlhling property, belnnging to Crlmi-s l:,-:ilitv Company, as the site for tli,. proposed new municipal building and .-.auditorium.- . "Th" lo.ntion of the property and the peculiar shape of the lot -.makes this site an ideal one for the purpiw ..desired.- It is imiiKMliatel y on the-Fayett.-yille sti-eet car Mil., and wiiliin one block of the Martin 'abnia us street car lines; ycinent to both telegraph the Post of lice, the Court sliv and II is . i-uii- irtif.'s. tlii' Hulls.-, the Hotel and nearly all the business houses; it brings the crowd up inlo the Venter of business and distributes them into Wilmington ami Kav.tte vllte streets; It 'will, have a tendency to open up for business-lower Favette vllle street; and It beautllies the prin cipal business street of the town ' It has been suggested that it would In advantageous to huiid stores under the auditorium On Wilmington street and thus increase the revenue tioni the property. 'The large size of the -place makes available tor the municipal building and for the arcade to the auditorium a lot fronting scveiitv-fiv feet on Fayetteville street and running back seventy leet, which would leave tor the auditorium proper a lot fronting 1.1(1 feet on said building and .in Wil mington street and UO feet on Davie street and and on the alley along the North side. This would permit the audience to enter from all four sides. "The size of the auditorium lot Is such that seating capacifv can li' made from -t,li)U to li.inifi. the magni tude of which fan bo seen when one recalls that the present seating cup.i clty of the Academy of Music and ot Metropolitan Hall Is only about 1,00? each. "It is understood that along with Hie building of the municipal building and auditorium, the owners of the Yarborough Hotel will spend a large sum of money in remodeling an-l con verting it iiieu a modern up to date htablishmenl, with elevators, new front, Increased capacity and minv other attractive Improvements." . Thyery great majority of persons need a tonio In the Spring or early Bummer. . The system undergoes a change at this reason and the entire physical machinery is disturbed. The general bodily weakness, a tired, worn-out feeling, fickle appetite, poor digestion, a half sick feeling and a general run-down condition of the system, show that the blood is weak or anaemic, and a blood purifying tonic Is needed to build up the deranged system and enrich the blood. The use of S. S. S. at this time may save you from a long spell of sickness, and it will certainly prepare you tor the long, hot Summer. Many people have put off using a tonio until the system became so weakened and depleted it could not successfully throw oS disease germs, and have paid for the neglect with a spell of fever, malaria or soma other debilitating sickness. S. 8. S. is Nature's ideal tonio. It is a composition of the extracts and Juke- of roots, herbs and barks which science and experience have proven are best fitted for a tonio to the human system. It contains no minerals of any kind and is therefore perfectly safe for persons of any age. S. S. S. tones up the stomach and digestion, rids the system of that tired, worn-out feeling, and imparts vigor and strength to every part of the body. It purifies and enriches the blood, stimulates the secreting and excreting members to better action, quiets the over strained nerves, and makes one feel better In every way. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO..

'.-' To the Kditor of The Times: The Holden property ..was quite a lively factor, notwithstanding the as perity of your paper in s ngling it out from all the others as being "not in the running", when placed before the commission as a site for the audito rium ; for as a fact a large public son timeat favored the location for very many good "safe and sound" reasons, and one was that there was 35 more land and the price $4,000 less money, but let it not he thought that I am a kicker, for the commission is composed of our most honorable men and did what they thought best for Raleigh. Now let us hold up their hands and hush all differences and strike out lor a bigger and better Iialeigh and foster further Improve ments. Sell the Metropolitan Hall; locate the new market house, and then for the new hotel. Stand to gether and press forward. Let that be the watchword. C, A. SHERWOOD. "D not Ipunlsh your child.

Dispatch. NATURE'S TONIC A LETTER FROM PARIS (By Haoul de Saint Rene.) Paris, May 26 Very painful indeed are the disclosures which M. Paul Dim mer has made concerning; the present state of the Frencn navy. M. Dounu-r is ex-president of the chamber of dep uties, reporter genera: of the budget, naval inquiry commission which has and a member of the parliamentary have caused profound sensation been sitting at Toulon. His revelations throughout France. He admits, but with evident' reluctance, that the French navy, once the glory and pride of the nation, is on the down grade on the high road to decay. "No men, no guns'."Titt ammunition" is his terse way of summing up1 the situation. Ten years ago France was the second naval power of the world; today, she has sunk to fourth place and will soon be occupying fifth place. The nations principal fighting ships are composed of six modern battleships of the Ba'trie type, atid three protected cruisers of I the Lean Gambette model. A force of I this kind ought to be able to giv ;r good account of Itself in the event a sudden outbreak of war, but M. Dimmer says, the whole of the ships would be unable to proceed to sea if war broke out tomorrow. Kccciitly when the Balkan crises were at its height and war was threatened, and when everything ought to have been ready for instant mobilatlon, the bat tleships were each short 100 men of their full complement. One of the bat tleships would have been unable to make any use of her secondary arma ment at all for her quick firing guns were unserviceable, and in the maga zines there was not. a single round of ammunition for these pieces, tin an other of the battleships an accident happened last year to one of her 12 inch guns, which rendered It useless. The damaged piece has neither been repaired nor replaced by another. Three battleships had been waiting for years to receive their secondary armament. Lately they were provided with weap ons of an Inferior calibre, which are nut powerful enough to keep off an attack of destroyers. The situation in the ships of the active fleet Is bad; that prevailing In the vessels of the reserve, says M. Dounier, is ten times ' worse. The Mediterranean fleet alone 'would need lfi.Otm men to place it oil L'lii effect ive fighting footing. Money ' lis .'spent on the navy lavishly, but 'mere is little 1n the way of efficiency to show for it. Machinery rusts away I I for want or small expenditure oi mon jey, but the ofllce of the minister of marine are overcrowded with paiasiti ! cal .functionaries who do attic save I draw handsome salaries. The Paris night shelters last ..year provided accommodations to 68,s:iT per rons. Of these ": 19,111 were Parisians and 43.3S4 provincials, There were 3.' UGO women and 41 children , The for eign element among the unfortunates was a large; there w-ere 6.1S6 Euro peans, 11C Africans, and 41 Americans. There'. was. 'one Chilian, one Dane, two Kgyptlans, one Greek, nine Turks, 9 Poles, nine Senegalese, two Swedes, 471 Germans, 1H7 Austrian, and 5 Eng lishmen. The arrest of a man named Larhon tagne at Brussels on-suspicion, of be ing concerned in the murder of a Frenchman named Donald Farquhar soii Heiirot, In the Hue. du Mont Tra der has had a surprising sequel. La montagne was able to prove an alibi, but the Brussels police, on searching his room, found a rough copy of a let ter addressed to the chief of the secret police In Berlin, offering to furnish val uable Information with regard to the French navy, torpedo boats and sub marines in particular. A non-commissioned officer"' was to bring the docu ments to Brussels, where they were to be handed over to the German emissary.; Lamontagne admitted that this was the case. A Brussels paper learns that Lamontagne and another man who has since been arrested were j really in tile service of Germany, and that they communicated papers con cerning the defence of the mouth of Brest Harbor by destroyers In the event of a night surprise attack by a squadron coming from the north. A queer story is told today of what happened at a party given by a deni- jzi'n of the "half world" who: was ! known as the "Countess de Cerdagne." In January last the woman made the acquaintance of three well dressed gentlemen in a night restaurant. Their fine clothes and jewelery dazzled her. She took them for aristocrats, and In vited them for supper In the Rue FouitiVoy. Towards the end of the meal the "countess" became drowsy, and finally fell asleep. Her supposed gen tlemert friends had drugged her wine. In point of fact they were simply clev er . thieves these men of aristocratic hearing. They noticed that the flat was in telephonic communication with the concierges lodge. The "countess" had taken this precaution after nn at tempt hail been made to murder Jser ; In lints. The thieves cut the wire, and tln n set to work to rob their hostess, i They relieved her of J9.0IW worth of Jewelry and decamped. When she j came to nersen una reanzeu inui iis had been robbed, the "countess" had no other alternative but to lodge a complaint with the police. M. Hani--ard, chief of the criminal investigation department, learned that one of the thieves had gone to London, where he had succeeded lit selling the countess' diamonds. His accomplices were found shortly afterwards at Nice. The three men have now been arrested. By the terms of the agreement be tween the Paris municipality and the Concessionary Omnibus Company, the latter will be railed upon. In return for the privileges which it Is granted, to furnish Its vehicles wllh snow ploughs and clear a track along the roads it uses. In uddltlon to this the company must place at the disposal of the city fifty automobiles tumbrels for carting away the Know. Hitherto the company has provided horsedrawn carts, which were generally useless when much snow had fallen. The omnibus company will also have to provide sand heaps wherever necessary. 'OUR LONG EXPERIENCE in liniments as a druggist,' and our personal use of It proves tous Vick's Great Antiseptic Liniment is by far the best. It does not burn but .lightly and for a second, yet is perfect an tiseptic and healing remedy for family or animals. 25c. Druggists. - PROFESSIONAL DR. L J. HERRING, VETERINARY SURGEON AND DENTIST.

Without quality style is as quality to keep the shape permanent, and when a garment loses shape that is the end of it as far as style is concerned. This talk about quality leads us to our well known makers of clothes, for if there is quality anywhere it is to be found in our clothing.
