It will cure almost any case cjf consumption if taken in time. Mother died of Consumption. Daughter kept strong and well by Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.

in reference to your Malt Whiskey, I must say that it is excellent. I have had it in use for nearly one year, and in that.time my family i vhaa been greatly benefited, especially my eldest daughter, who was always "in delicate health. She is over sixteen years of ag-e, and is strong- and hearty. I have given her three tablespponf uls a day. It was for her that I wanted the consumptioncure.

I think it was lucky that I got it, for the mother died of consumption when the daughter was six years of ag-e, and the physician said the child would not live to be over fourteen years of age. Now she's over "sixteen and the doctor is dead. He died of consumption of the lungs. In 'elusion, I will say that your DUFFY'S PURE MALT WHISKEY will save many lives if the people will take it. It is decidedly the most strengthening stimulant that I have ever seen, and we have tried a great many before we came to you.

The mass of bunting, and lace, and palms, and other greenery is so tastefully ar-finged that It hardly seems the work of hands.

Ma addition to this he has bulit a large number of houses in different places and sold them on the same easy plan, wnue ne aas erected hotels and public buildings, taking bonds which others had been unable to place.

Mr. Coffin Intends to continue In his work of making giaa tne waste niacpB of the south and educating his northern friends along the line of good places ta invest surplus cash, thus bringing the raw product into contact with the means to develop It. He represented the state of South Carolina at the world's fair real estate congress at cmcago in 18U3 and attracted much attention to the south at that time. Mr. Coffin is also a newspaper man.

The members rf the commission, who had worked gether bard and earnestly for the one purpose and had finally wCn, came to nOt only their victory, but bid a "bon voyage" to ths man who had led them to signal succcess. It n-n snrnrlsp to Mr. Harden when Mr. Henry wf Robinson presented uiin with the cup, bTTt If he expressed surprise, he felt pleasure more. Mr.

Hayden Invited the commissioners and they met at his house at 1 o'clock In the evening. Among those present were: Charles S. Klce, Charles Maz-solettl, Bav. Father J. P.

Lambert. Dr. E. Des Lattes. James Wilson.

Henry V. Robinson, Charles H. Culbertson. H. M.

Isaacson, Samuel Hyman, Page M. Baker and H. M. Verlander. Father Lambert, when tbe guests were seated around, recited grace.

A sumptuous repast was served. After the solids were disposed of and the wine served, Mr. Robinson rose and toasted the president of the commission. He earn tne occasion was not one ior speeches, but for a quite talk of neighbors and friends. The people of Louisiana avenue hnd much to be satisfied with.

For ten years they had carneu on the struggle ror the removal of tracks oi tne oeit raiiroau. in low beean wtth the attemDt of the railroads to secure a line through either Louisiana or Napoleon avenue. Again, in 1S92, the railroads had an ordinance introduced authorising them to gridiron Louisiana avenue. A mass meeting of the people of tbe district was called, Mr. James T.

Hayden was elected president of the association, and from that time to the day when the tracks were finally removed, they were united firmly In their opposition. The people of tbe avenue were- fortunate In their choice of a leader. He waa a fighter, a man of action. cooL cautious, wise In counsel. powerful In execution.

Under his lead- ersnjp iney naa won ueir great ngut. and for the first time in the municipal history of America, a railroad was defeated in Its efforts to maintain its tracks on a public thoroughfare. xae victory was xaT-reacning an its results. It left the avenue ready tor lmDrovement- For many years It was impossible to beautify it. Property was uepreciaea Decause or tne existence or, the tracks, and they left no room for making a garden enot of the neutral ground.

Now the opportunity was at hand. New Orleans has an awakening to its possiniuties ror parks ana Deauti-ful avenues. The time was near when Audubon park, tbe boulevard, the City park, and the principal avenues would be places oi Deauty, tne priae ox tne people. Mr. Robinson recounted Mr.

Hayden's part In bringing out the happy result. He said -the tieonle of the avenue appreciated him and recognized the Im portance or nis wotk. xue commissioners had determined to put this Into tan- giDie lorm, ana present air. uayaea with a loving cup. air.

uo Din son said there were few things which would add more to the haDDV mem ories of a man's declining years than the recollection that he had been of use to his fellowmen. When the time ot gray hairs and wrinkles came, it would help to mage a silver lining to tne cloud to know that he had won the affection of his neighbors. He asked Mr. Hayden to accept the cup with the respect and affection of the people among whom he lived, and to 1st' it be a reminder to him that he had worked snd won for them, and they appreciated mm. Mr.

lioblnson then presented to Mr. Hayden a magnificent solid silver loving cup, made in the colonial style with handles of the Ivory of walrus teeth. On the reverse were Mr. Hayden's lnltlils in large letters, and on the obverse the following Inscription: "To James T. Haydea from the Louisiana 'Avenne Commission, New Orleans, In recognition of his splendid leadership in the struggle for the removal of the railroad tracks, ending in victory July 81.

1000." Mr. Hayden accepted the superb gift, and replied with much feeling. He said tbe fact that he was president of the commission was simply due to the necessity for having some one at the head, and lie had not done more than any of the other members. They met to celebrate the removal of the tracks, and the selection of himself as the. re cinlent of the cud did not mean that he was any more worthy of It than any of the devoted who had made the nzhr and against most heavy odds.

He briefly sketched the story of the struggle. and spoke of the necessity for making the neutral sronnd of the avenue a oark for the enjoyment of all the people of the district. Now that the railroad tracks were gone, he asked the commissioners to help him In the work of dec- oration. He thought the traction com. tracks snoaia De piacea togctner so hat one central pole would serve for both, end the number of telegraph and teInhooe ooles reduced.

The sight of the magnificent loving cup would always bring, to mind the pleasant associations with his neighbors, and It would always be a source of pleasure and srtde witn mm.

-Rev. Father Lambert toasted Mr. Hav den. and spoke eloquently of the work he had done for Louisiana avenue Mr. Charles S.

Rice toasted the com mission, and reviewed the early part of the fight. He thought It the duty of all the people living near the avenue. as well ss those on It. to take an interest and help to auorn it. A parklike street Is a public educator.
