ADVICE TO MoTHERs.-MRs. WINsLow's
SOOTHING SYRUP should always be used when
children are cutting teeth. 1t relieves the lit
tie sufferer at once; it produces natural, quiet
sleep by relieving the child from pain, and the
little cherub awakes as "bright as a button"
1t is very pleasant to taste. 1t soothes the
child, softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves
wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best
known remedy for diarrh@a, whether arising
from teething or other causes. Twenty-Five
cents bottle.

Fidelity and Casualty Company.

The work which il being done by the
Fidelity and Casualty Company Of this city
evidently meets manifest public require
ment, since all the indications are that the
company is prosperous and the sphere OF
its activity and usefulness is constantly
widening. Its reinsurance reserve, which
is the test by which its growth may be de-
termined, has now reached the substantial
dimensions OF S1i5,560. The total policy
liability outside OF this sum amounts to
So, ,9li. and the surplus for policy-hoiders
is over a quarter OF million OF dollars.
The company transacts general business,
indicated by its title, insurinS the hdelity
Of employees and OF executors, guardians,
and all custodans OF trust funds; insuring
plate-glass against loss or damage by acci-
dent, and also insuring persons against ae-
cidental injuries involving death or physi-
cal disability. In the first-named line OF
enterprise it is rendering a genuine public
service, the performance OF which is a COM
parative novelty in this country, where the
need OF il is great and must continually in
crease. It is extremely unpleasant 10 the
average person having occasion for a
bondsman-and almost every one is some
time in IA position when one Is requisite
to call upon an acquaintance, or even an
intimate friend, to act in that capacity; and
quite as unpleasant, ii not more so, is II for
the acquaintance or friend TO decline the
service, as many by business relations are
compelled 10 do. TO the rehef Of such
comes this staunch corporation, and after
due investigation, resulting in the ascer-
tainment Of the applicants worthine>s, for
a moderate premium makes it, bond, which
is accepted by all the civil courts under the
law and Is gladly received by all employers,
guaranteeing the fidelity OF the principal
in his trust relation. Such business
useful, and, indeed, necessary AZ II is-can-
not be conducted without the greatest care
and the exercise Of Il high degree OF skill.
Both OF these requisites are founs IN the
management OF the Fidelity and Casualty,
and being supplemented by an ample capi-
tai iudiciously invested and by IN excellent
reputation among businessmen, furnish all
reasonable assurance Of well-earned sue
cess.-Neto York Chronicle.

the attention OF our city fathers to the
number OF small boys to be seen every DAY
on our streets with either pipe or cigarette
in their mouths. The baneful effect of to-
bacco upon the youthful system Is too well
known to need any remarks. There Is
another side TO the question that should
concern the general public perhaps even
more than natural desire to prevent our
youthful generation from becoming stunt
ed aud demorilized, and that IS the danger
from fire. Boys who smoke win carry
matches, and are careless about the dispo-
sition both OF match and discarded stump.
We all know that II is the parents duty
to correct this bad habit, but in most eases
they are ignorant OF the fact, and we feel
sure would be only too glad to have child
arrested by the police. Can nothing be
done to check this growing evil? W.

TO the Editor Of the DiSpatch;
Permit me through your columns to give
utterauce to the regret, which will doubt
less find response in many hearts, at the
loss we have sustained in the removal OF
the late secretary Of the Young Mems
Christian Association, Mr. l.. f. Newman,
TO q distant and more extensive field OF
labor. BY his uniform courtesy, no less
than by his zeal in the cause to which his
life and energies are given, Mr.. New
man during the short period OF his soionrn
here won for himself the friendship and
affection OF a very large number Of our
citizens, who, appreciating the result OF
his labors in the building up OF the Asso-
ciation from q very low condition to
point OF fair promise OF prosperity, now
wish him God speed and an equal measure
OF success in his new field.

The Gas Question.

To the Editor Of the DiSpdtch'
The chairman OF the Committee on Lignt
would do me great injustice II he supposes
that am actuated by desire TO disparagc
Mr.. knowles's statement. IL should be
borne i'm mind that the statement in ques-
ton has been used AZ basis for urging q
reduction in the price Of gas. The ordi-
nance cOntemp,ates deriving such an in
come from the gas-works as will be sIfli'
cient, at the least, TO pay all cost OF manu-
facture, including interest on all moneys
paid for construction and extension OF the
works. 1t naturally aud properly devolves
on the chairman OF the Committee on
Finance to see that this provision OF the
ordinance is kept i'm view in considering
the subject Of reducing the price OF gas.
Now, when it appeared TO me that there
were errors in the table gwen 10 the public
it seemed right and proper that | should
call attention TO them.
1t Will be observed that the chairman OF
the Committee on Light admits the correct
ness Of both the points | made, but eX-
plains that the unpaid bills coming over
from the past fiscal year to the present
were more than offsetted by the bills COM
ING over from the previous year 10 the
past. IL HIS CAplala'iOi sCthho W OOhii III
the propriety OF the suggestion made that
careful statement should be made show
ing the expenditures actually incurred
during the past fiscal year, including in
terest on all moneys paid for construction
and extension OF the works and the net
balance in favor of the works, as provided
by ordinance.
To enable the Auditor 10 prepare such q
statement It is necessary TO furnish him q
list Of all unpaid bills for expenditures in
cured during the past fiscal year: this
statement to be submitted TO tie Commit
tee on Light for examination.

Another Director who should Have

RICHMOND, VA, February IL, looo'
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
You say in to-day's Dispatch that Mr.
Flanagan, a member OF the Board OF Di-
rectors Of the Central Lunatic Asylum, was
removed because in the opinion OF Cover
nor Cameron the fact OF Mr.. Flanagans
having received more pay as member OF
the Board than tie law allowed was impro-
ner. and untitled him (Mr. Flanagan for
the trust confded to him. Now, IT seems
singular that after the Governors prompt
action in this ease he should have quietly
all this time passed by another equally as
strong and glarlng case, ii not stronger
even than this one. without any action
whatever. 1t is well-known fact that last
simmer and fall certain member OF a
state Board in this city voted himself and
received pay at the rates OF g per day. over
and above his salary as member OF this
BOARD. and continued to draw during the
course OF several months. when, perhaps
ON suggestion OF a friend, he resigned NJ
This s2eper-day extra position, and yet the
governor did not think proper to yindi-
cate the law in this ease. The facts are
TOO we'll known and can easily be substan-
tinted. II there is any difference In these
eases the public would like 10 know IT,.
