from the busting throng and earnestly
gazes into haberdasher's window
where s1.so shirts are displayed with

while four-in-hands of variegatcd hues
polished steel rods. The young gentle

In = moment q messenger boy slips

gum he nlso looks fxetl1y toward tho
object of the young mans vision,
Then a laborer stops and, after g1ancing
curiously at the two, puts his lunch
box down on the grating and concen-
trates his vision on the curiosity of the
moment. And now the crowd begins
to grow by tvvos and threes. Fashion.

The ladies look rosy and glide away.
The laborcr refers to the A. d. T. boy,

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 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

RICHARD OLNEY.
The Boston Lawyer Who Is Now
Attorney General.

AltOriiSN OtHcTuls
Boston Herald.l
Probably no man in Mr.. Cleveland's
Cabinet has made so many sacrifices in
taking a portfolio rs Richard Olney.
1t is something to give up law practice
of the first magnitude-an law practice
OF the first Boston magnitude at that
and accept salary OF $1,000 year. Mr.
Olney is probably in receipt OF larger
income from his practice than any other
New England lawyer. Great corpora
tions pay great salaries. He is attorney
for three of them. These are tho Boston
and Maine railroad, the Chicago, Bur
HngtOn and Quincy Railroad, and the
AtchisOn, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad.
He is 81 Years old. is apparently III the
prime of life, and is in the zenith OF his
career. " hen he was named Tho other
day, the usual query of the ignorant was
made: "Who is Olney?" 1t was only the
politicians who made it. There is scarcely
man in New England who does not
know him by reputation, and he is
known at The lar from ocean to ocean.
Mr.. Olney descends from q "hghting''
Baptist family HIS ancestors Implanted
the church IN America. and other ances-
tors hewed their way through colonial
wars. lie is 4 quiet and studious man,
and has given his time almost unceas-
lngly 10 his profession ever since he was
admitted to The bar and TO law partner
ship with Judge Benjamin /. Thomas, in
1881.
lie was once a member OF the lower
branch OF the Massachusetts Legislature
and that is TIE only lime he held Office.
But he has been an ardent Democrat all
his life. He spoke with John Quincy Ad-
ans III Boston against the Louisiana
outrage" by General Grant. He ad-
dressed the New York Democracy in
1876 III Cooper Union in behalf of Iilden
and Hendricks, and in 1850 he read pa
per ut his alma mater--Browu University
ON the duty OF educated men in politics
which attracted wide attention.
Nh Olney twice has refused TO accept Il
place Oh the Supreme Bench of the State
OF Massachusetts. " hen the last vacancy
OCcdrrLd Governor Russell was anxious
lu appoint him, but he declined.
" nen the Vacancy on the Supreme
bench occurred, Mr.. Oluey's name was
presented To Mr.. Cleveland by General
Patrick a. Collins and other Bav State
Democrats. They would have been
pleased with the appointment, but MIR.
Cleveland gave it 20 Melville w. Fuller

Nh Olney has a wife and two daugh-
ters, both married. One is living in
Berlin.
The new Attorney-General is man of
striking figure. He is six feet in hight
and weighs over 200 pounds. He speaks
with great force and deliberation, and is
charming companion.
Socially no man stands biubar than

He is something Of Il club man, delights

Criticism Criticised

In critical writing Hamlets remark is
the best guide, ''the PLAYS the thing" ;
or rather the history, the biography, the
novel, the opera, the picture, the statue,
each is the thing in which the critic must
do most OF his speaking to his public.
Essays and sermons neither keep nor
hinder, nor kill. nor cure, under such
journalistic conditions. Criticism does.
Never was honest, blunt, sincere, we'll
considered, terse, critical writing more
needed in this country than now. May
we have more of it! May our younger
journalists think more of achieving it
day by day, month by month! The Office
OF the journalistic critic is not the cir
cumlocution office. To write 'all
around'' u thing, yet never touch it to the
quick, hints at pendantry, cowardice, or
selt-interest. 1t conflicts too much with
the critics first duty-I had almost writ
ten whole duty-to speak the truth: a
duty that should be his greatest pleasure.
lie must not tack in it, but 60 about it at
all times, tersely, pointedly, without fear
or favor, regardless of personal enmities,
or friendships, advantages, or disadvan-
tages. He must not avail himself of his
knowledge of everything relating to the
topic TO furnish his copy" Better hit
hard than hit too soft.-E. Iren3eus Stew

For weeks past baseball circles have
been excited as to the outcome of the

tween the Esoteric and Sutter Clubs.
Each clubs is confident of winning, and

houses will close this afternoon at 2

big attendance is assured.
The Esoterics will wear the national

STATE FAIR PREMIUMS.
Some Changes Made in the List by
the Society.
The Directors Anticipate a Prosperous
Year and an Exhibition of
Unusual Excellence.

The Executive Committee and Premi-
um List Committees of the State Board
of Agriculture met yesterday for the pur-
pose of considering the premium list for
the State Fair OF 1893. There vera pres
ent Messrs. Hancock, Cox, Shippee,
Chase. Mathews, Wilson, Flick kinger and
President Doggs. The premium list
was discussed at considerable length and
the following changes were made:
In the premiums for thoroughbreds the
rule requiring registration was adopted.
Glass : premiums for horses of all
work. was stricken out and a new class
for coach horses substituted.
Glass u, for draft-horses other than
Normans, Percherons, etc, was stricken
out, the committee being of tue opinion
that standard classes only of draft-horses
should be encouraged.
Dairy prizes for butter test were offered
for all classes of cattle. as follows: For
the COW three years old and over making
the most butter in three days test on
the fair grounds, $40: for the second best,
S25.
The pavilion premium list was amended
to only a limited extent. The sum of
s., 600 was appropriated for premiums for
county exhibits, and the first premium
placed at $500.
After consideration of other matters of
minor importance, the committee ad-
journed.
In the opinion of the directors, the out
! look for grand exhibition this year is
very promising. Reports from all fruit
districts show prospects for increased
crops, while of cereals there will be an
abundant harvest. The number of horses
now in the State for racing purposes eX-
ceeds that of any season heretofore, thus
| insuring attractive speed contests. There
| is also unusual interest shown among
the breeders Of choice livestock, and the
! display thereof should be first-class.
The members of the committee believe
that as this will be year of fair agita-
ton, that the State exhibition will excite
more than ordinary interest and will re-
ceive increased patronage.
