Julia Force, the woman who go cru
ely murdered her two sisters at the
family home In Atlanta Ga, one year
ago, was on yesterday declared not
guilty of the crime by a jury of her
peers, in the Criminal Court of that
city. The verdict was practically In
direct opposition to the charge admin
istered by the trial Judge, whose in
structions covered the enomity of the
crime in all of its terrible details. The
plea entered by defendants counsel
and upon which she was acquainted
was that Of insanity. Hence she will
be sent to the State Asylum for the
insane, from which she will doubtless
be soon released, to further indulge
hor insane desire for tho shedding OF
human blood. OF course every man
sympathizes to greater sr less extent
with woman in distress. Yet, when
impulse Is discarded and reason per
mitted to resume her sway, he must al
the same time deplore the legal meth.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
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 a perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions aud
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.

A Chance for Health

Is afforded those fast sinking into
condition of hopeless debility. The
means are at hand. In the form of
genial medicinal cordial, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters embodies the COM
bined qualities Of blood fertilizer
and depurent, a tonic and an alterna-
tive. While itpromotes digestion and
assimilation, stimulates appetite, has
the further effect Of purifying the life
current and strengthening the
nervous system AS the blood grows
richer and purer by its use, they who
resort to this sterling medicinal agent,
acquire not only vigor, but bodily sub
stance. A healthful change in the Sc
cretions is effected by it, and that sure
and rapid physical decay, which a
chronic obstruction of the functions
Of the system produce, is arrested.
The prime causes of disease being re-
moved, health is speedily renovated
and yigor restored.

UNEARTHINa PENSION FRAUDS

The Democratic heads of the pen
sion department at Washington are
squarely on the trail of fraudulent
pensioners, men who are laying claim
to and receiving the bounty of CRATE
full Government for services they nev-
er performed. A list of such para
sites comprising the names of num-
ber of pensioners recommended by
Commissioner Lochren to be dropped
from the rolls has been handed to Sec
retary Hoke Smith, and he has ap-
proved the recommendations. 1t has
been found upon investigation by the
pension bureau that the persons nam
ed in the list are not entitled to draw
pensions. Among them are the names
Of eleven men now drawing pensions,
while the records of the war depart
ment show oonclusively that they were
deserters from the army, and are still
deserters at large. One pensioner, it
has been discovered, was never in the
military service at all, but has been
drawing his pension with regularity
and dispatch, just the same. A num-
Der are dropped from the rolls for not
having served ninety days as the law
directs; others dropped because the
disability for which they are drawing
pensions is the result of their own
vicious habits. Several women who
drew pensions as soldiers widows are
dropped because they have remarked
and one woman will cease to draw a
pension because she is living in "open
and notorious adultery"
The work of examining the rolls
with view TO the detection of fraud
will be prosecuted with ylgor, and at
the same time, current issues will be
carefully scrutinized with the same OBJ
ject in view. Secretary Smith and
Commissioner Lochren while prose-
cutting this work renew the assurance
previously given that just as much
care will be exercised to secure pen
slons for those who are entitled to
them under the law as will be used to
prevent fraud.

hoped that Government would not be
criticised for disposing ofthis Import
ant question at single sitting. The
keynote of the scheme was rather to
prevent further fall in exchange
than to raise the value of the rupee.
The fixing of the provisional rate on
change at Is 4d provides an automat-
ic means of preventing the closing of
the mints and the violent disturbing
of exchange rates. The rate of ex-
change had been high enough to re-
lieve the government while it was well
within the limits ofrecent fluctuations.

said "about the fact. 1t was not pro-
posed to substitute gold for silver cur
ency, No attempt would be made at
present to fix legal tender for gold

In conclusion the viceroy expressed
the governments sense of the gravity
of the step which it was about to take.
Personally he was averse to all at
temps to give money commodities fic-
titious values, but the time had arriy-
ed when to remain inactive was i'm
possible. The government would be
unworthy the name if it left the reins
alone. 1t had not taken this momen-
tous step with light heart He hop
ed ITS action would be fruitful in
good results, and that sufficient re-
serve of gold would be accumulated
to make an effective gold standard
