A WARNING TO RUMOR-MONGERS.
Tho New York Grand Jury Scores the
Reckless Promoters of False Rninors OF
business Troubles.


The New York Grand Jury scores the
Reckless Promoters of False Ruinors of
business Troubles.
New York Herald, May eith.
While the evidence submitted to the
grand Jury III the case of the false reports
of the failure of II u. llDlins u Co was
not regarded as sufficient to warrant an
indictment, that body took advantage of
the opportunity to make some very plain
statements regarding those who start such
reports Stringent legislation is reGom-
mended to put All end to such practices in
the future. The prescntmenL made by the
jury is in part as follows
During the financial crisis, and at
time when the market was likely to be
affected by almost any disturbing incident,
certain false and wholly unwarranttd
rumors in regard to the snyGncy Of some
Of our strongest and most reputable bank
ing houses We're circulated III the com
munity the effect of which, had they I'M
happily gained credencc, would have been
most disastrous to the community.
I'VE deemed il u duty To undertake an
investigation with view TO ascertuining
where these rumors originated and i'll
what manner they became current and
for that purpose we summoned u number
of witnesses before lis and heard their tes-
timony.
evidence we have come 10 the conclusion
that while there are circumstances tending
to indicate the direction where the rcspdm.
sibllty lies, we are not Justified, III view
of the unsatisfactory nature OF the great
mass of the testimony. III finding an in
dictment against any of the guilty parties,
In the course of our inquiry we have
been especially impressed by thc fact that,
although the falSehuodS were evidently
fabricated with the intention that they
should be given the widest circulation
this result was accomplished As much il
not more, by the gratllltnls laborS of
| gosnlps and scandal inongers entirely dis
| interested in the truth or falsity Of The
| talk and ignorant Of the source or relia.
| bility of their information than through
| the direct announcement Of the lies by the
| original conspraturs themselves.
"A conspiracy to circulate false rumorS
is in no case trivial offence, and where
| the object is to destroy public confidence
| i'll responsible business concerns, and thus
| to create u feeling of general distrllst and
| apprehension i'll financial and banking
circles in order that the conspiraturs may
take advantage Of the resulting injury and
profit by the misfurtunes Of Others, tho
offence becomes doublv grave and merits
the Seyerest condemnation.
While we have not found indictments
in these cases we have made this pre-
sentiment that it may serve as warning
to Others and a service to the public,
We are of the opinion that this Incl
dent should be made the occasion OF more
stringent legislation, aud that a punish
meut prupurtionate to the infamy Of lii
offence, and applicable not only to Iii,
orginators of the false rumors hut t
those who repeat and publish them with
| out reasonable ground Tor belief in Their
truth, should be provided

THE LITTLE RiRD.

4 Piece 70 Speak
A little bird with feathers brown
SAT singing on 4 tree;
The song was very soft and low,
But sweet as il could be.
And all the people passing by
Looked up to sec the bird
That nadC the sweetest melody
That ever they had heard
Bat all the bright eyes looked in vain,
For birdie WAS So :uall
And with Il modest dark brown coat
He made no SHOW at all.
why, papa lutte oracle said,
Where can this hirtin be?
If could sing Il snng like that

Il hope my little girl will learn
4 lesson from that bird.

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced IN the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
