THE CONSPIRACY WIDESPREAD.

Another Of the many evidences Of the wide
conspiracy afoat to defeat the ends Of justice
was the fact that when the Brooklyn men
went down to Gravesend yesterday morning to
offer bail for the prisoners the instant they
set foot in the station at the Brooklyn end Of
the Culver Railroad policeman recognized one
OF the men and Immediately stepped to the
telephone. What he said is not known. but
when the men reached Gravesend 1t was evil
dent that their coming was expected, for sew
eral rough-lookng men were waiting at the
Gravesend station when the train came In and
dogged them about the town until they took
the train back to Brooklyn.
The absence OF justices Of the peace from their
homes or their accustomed Sunday haunts was
another amazing feature. over dozen law
yers and other professional men searched high
and low to find these justices In vain.
Efforts were made all day yesterday to OBJ

manded Mr. Kneer, taking out a coin
and slapping it down on the table.

over the money. "I'll not spend any
more of it than | am actually obliged

With Modified grunt Cyrus put his
purse back in his pocket, took his hat
and went downtown; and in less than
half an hour Mrs. Kneer, trembling
with eagerneSS, was on the way to the
great dry goods stores.

DESERTED NEVADA.
Citizens of the Silver State Now Till Its
Arid Farming Lands.


Citizens of the Silver State Now Till Its
Arid Farming Lands.
Nevada is the only State in the
Union that has decreased in wealth
and population during the last decade.
and, considering her reputation as part
OF the great American desert" few
persons would suspect that she could
nope to arrest the fading-out process
by becoming, like California, an agri-
cultural State. SO long as Nevada was
the great silver-producing region of the
world few of her inhabitants troubled
themselves about the future of her
arid soil She produced more than
S40,0OO,O0O of gold and silver in 1873.
by 1850 her production was reduced
to $17,30O,OOO, and by 1889 to $4,000
600 The census Of 1880 showed that
she had lost more than % per cent Of
her population in ten years. Her as
sessed wealth had greatly decreased,
and in almost every material respect
she was poorer than when the entered
the union in 1869. Her population of
$4,000 was 100000 below the popula-
ton of Congress district.
SO long as Nevada was regarded SIM
ply as great silver mine her arid soil
was esteemed useless for agricultural

productive, but enormous, almost rain
less, areas grew nothing but sage
brush. When the mines began to les
sen their output, the Chinese, those
Bedouins of the west, began to emf
CRATE to newer mining districts along
with miners, prospectors and all sorts
of loosely attached persons. Some men
who had the instinct of local attach
ment advocated irrigation of the arid
soil, and for years it was tried with
success on small areas Nevada has
now about 1,400 farms, and of these
about 1,2OO are irrigated in whole or
in part. 1t has been found that the
produce per acre of corn, wheat, oats.

irrigated lands in Nevada is much
above the average of such products
throughout the country as Il whole.
and higher than in many states of
much reputed fertility. Nevada stands
among the ten or twelve highest states

In Church Walls.

Many of the older churches in Eng
land and western Europe have Jugs or
jars embedded in their walls, the
mouths opening into the interior. For
n long time the openings We're suppos-
cd to be holes in the walls, but II
closer examination number of years
ago, ON one or two of these old build
ings, disclosed the fact that the open
ings were the necks of jugs. Most of
the old churches erected from the
eleventh to the seventeenth centuries
have them, and in some they are pres
cnt in great numbers. A church in
Leeds has over fifty, while this number
is considerably exceeded in some of
the old French churches, nearly two
hundred having been counted in the
Cathedral of Angouleme. The cxpla-
nation of their presence is simple.
They are placed in the walls with Il
view to lettering the acoustic proper
ties of the building. The efficiency of
this strange device is certainly open to
question.

Comfort for the Unsuccessful,

If we are money makers, it is to the
exclusion of something else; If we have
gentlencss and refinement, these quail
ties unfit lis for becoming mOney-mak-

ut Narragansett Pier very charming
young man one evening, and after

he had inherited fortune.
why do you not ask me if he has
made one" l rejoined.
Because l know he hasn't" replied
Mr.. Dougherty, who, as everyone
knows, was a very keen observer of
human nature.
He is poor, or, If he is not, his mon

How He Had Fun.

You can't always tell how green Il
man may be by the color you think he
is" said the drummer, sententiously,
and the hotel clerk ran his eyebrows
up into interrogation points.

had put his question into words, NO,
you can't. Last week l was in New
York and one night | went down to
sleep by the sea-
"On a bench in Battery Park" i'll
quired the disingenuous clerk.
'Of course not" retOrted the drum
mer; down at one of the nearby sea-
side resorts. Well, as l was saying,
when l got there and had registered
at one of the swell hotels, a country
looking citizen stepped up and took
my place before the book. He wrote
his name, and looked up at the digni-
fed and imperious young man behind
the counter.
Got any rooms, young fcller,' he
said, fer about one dolyer per day?
Certainly not was the naughty
and disguised reply.
How's yer rates, anyhow?
We'll, you can get suite for n
hundred dollars a day. he said with
the air of one man expecting to see the
other man drop dead.
Good enough responded the coun'
tryman, without turning hair, I'll
take that kind for five days and pay in
advance. Can you change a bill for
me? and he slapped down a new thou
sand dollar William that must have
looked yard long to the clerk
Whether it did or not, he grew red il
the face; said he'd have to see the
landlord; couldn't raise over a hundred
and fifty in change to save his life
that early in the season; and while he
was trying to apologize the country
man stuffed the bill in his pocket and
went across the street to another hotel
That evening l talked with him OF

A Family laxative.

Physicians are not inclired to recon-
mend self medication to the laity.
Yet there is one need, says the Ameri-
can Analyst, which they are almost
unable to supply. We refer TO the
family laxative" The family ply
stefan is able to prescribe for the most
complicated and obscure of maladies
and yet is often puzzled to know just
what to give when asked for remedy
which can be kept in the house for
family use as a laxative, that shall be
effective, free from danger, and not UNI
pleasant to take When absent on our
summer vacation we were asked by four
different parties, representing as many
families, what we thought of the
"Syrup of Figs" Not one word did we
volunteer on the subject, and we were
somewhat surprised to find that there
was this small token of the very gen
-eral use OF that preparation. These
partic,5 said they derived more benefit
from it and found it more pleasant to
take than anything of the kind they
had ever used The simple question
with them was. is it dangerous com
pound? We informed them that its
active ingredient was preparation OF
SIENNA, and that it was entirely free
from danger. With this assurance
they volunteered the information that
they should continue to keep = in the
house.
The therapeutical properties of SIENNA
Ere so well known that comment on
this seems unnecessary. IT might be
well to notice. however. that BaEtho-
low says it is "a very safe and service
able cathartic,' and that it Is highly
priced as a remedy for c0LstaSatiOn.
He also plales the important observa-
ton that ITS use sis not followed by in
festival torpor and constipation.
The simple truth of the matter is we
have altogether too few preparations
which we can recommend TO our families
as effective laXatives. But the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup company has one of
the most desirable combinations for
this purpose with which we are famil-
lar The Fig ''rup CO opany gives TO
the profes sion the composition of this
preparation, therefore there is no secret
about it: the persons who use this laXa-
tiva speak in the highest terms about
it; and we are pleased to notice that
large number of physicians are pre-
scribing il.
View ed from the rcrrowcst and most
selfish stan3 pont the physician will
lose nothing By recommending such
preparation as Syrup of Figs to his pa
tients; while viewed from the highest
standpoint of doing the best possible
by those who place themselves in our
care, we would say the profession can
not do better than give their indorse-
ment to such a preparation.
