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 perfect lax
ative; 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,
and being well informed, yon will not
accept any substitute if offered.

THE FIELD OF BATTLE.
All Quiet at Washington, with Few
Congressman Yet in the city.

Not more than twenty-five members
of both houses of the Federal Con-
gress have yet gathered in the Capitol
City. Only one representative from
Texas, Congressman Cockrell, has yet
arrived, while Arkansas, as yet, is
without representation. In a few
days more the city will be literally
thronged.
Among the southern members there
is a decided spirit of conservatism as
to financial legislation. They general
ly favor the repeal of the Sherman act
as an obstacle to the progress of sill
yer, at the same time there is a desire
among the southern members to have
a fair opportunity at free coinage leg
islation. Mr.. Ligingston of Georgia
proposed that a bill providing for free
coinage at any rates which would rem
der the silver dollar intrinsically equal
in value to The gold dollar be passed.
He thinks ratio of "a to l would
meet this requirement and says such a
silver dollar would be the best in the
world. In order to keep it from GO
ing abroad because of its excess of sill
yer over the coinage of other coun-
tries. He proposes that gold and sll-
yer be used as the basis for banking,
state and national. He proposes to
repeal the 10 per cent tax on state
banks and then permit them to issue
currency based upon gold and silver
coinage.
This suggestion meets with favor
from some, but in fact nobody can
now foretell what will be done. There
is general disposition to wait to hear
from the President. Democrats be-
lieve he will have some sound advice
to give as he has been studying the
financial question industriously. So
far as any talk OF friction between the
administration and Congress is con-
cerned 1t is already apparent that 1t is
mere rot. The executive and legisla-
tive branches of the government will
work together in spirit Of entire
harmony with the purpose of afford
ing a stable currency and of restoring
public confidence. The extremist on
both sides of the financial question
will find that they have but little in
huence.

THE BLOCKADE CONTINUED.

There are two distinct theories con-
cerning the Franco-Siamese trouble,
advanced by the London press, the
first of which is, that all differences of
whatever kind, have been amaciably
adjusted and the order issued for the
raising of the French blockade on
Siamese ports, while, on the other
hand, it is claimed that the situation
has grown even more serious and
complicated, since the efforts at ad-
justment begun, than at any time
prior thereto. Those papers holding
to the latter opinion place the matter
in this light, Siam having accepted
terms, Frances persistence in the
blockade win be equivalent to an un-
provoked declaration of war if not an
open demand for the cession of Siam.
These same papers diclaim any desire
on the part of England, to attack
France. They declare that while the
English Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Lord Roseberry, had made up his
mind, from the first not to assist or
encourage the Siamese, that he is
equally determined, with the full ap.
proval of his colleagues, to protect the
commercial rights of his own country.
He distinctly warned France that
British vessels could not be stopped
under blockade avowedly pacific in
character. 1t is quite impossible for
Great Britain to withdraw the ships
she sent to Bangkok for protective
purposes. England, they say, cannot
be accused of exciting public feeling
against France, but moderation is one
thing and weakness another.

Chapman in person Immediately upon

lows:
He left Denver last Thursday morn
ing. The Italian, Arata, was lynched
the night before, and the excitement
was great at the time he left there.
Two miles out of town the tram was
held up by about twenty men who
were out Of work and wanted TO leave
the country, but did not have money
to pay their fare. The conductor re-
fused to take them and they would
not let the train go. A messenger
went back to the city and company
of soldiers went to the scene and re-
leased the train. Just before Mr..
Chapman got to Pueblo, Colo, his
train came to freight wreck in which
two men were killed. Reaching that
city they found it almost submerged
by rise in the Arkansas river and
the body of a drowned man had just
been taken from the water near the
depot. Coming down into the Texas
Pan Handle he found great excitement
over the troubles among the cattle
men.
Arriving at Childress man had
just been shot dead in the depot and
his slayer had had hair-breadth es.
cape. In passing through Quanah he
heard a shot, and looking around he
saw man fall dead. A woman was
close by with a smoking revolver IN
her hand. The mans name was Fisk
and the woman was his wife. They
had only been married about week.
1t was thought the woman was insane.
Mr.. Chapman congratulates himself
that he got through it all safe. 1t
was certainly series of adventures
person seldom encounters in SO short
a period of time.

of these useful articles. In houses as

screens are seldom needed as a shield

nevertheless there are many ways of

TRADE REVIEW.

DUn's Weekly Review shows Trade to Be
IN Good shape-Cause of the Monetary
Pressure.
New YORK. March 1s.-R. G. Dun &
Cos weekly review of trade says: Dis
tribution of goods continues very large
for the season in spite of extraordinary
weather, some failures and a light
money market. Storms and severe cold
have retarded trading and collections
throughout large part of the country,
and doubtless cause much Of
the monetary pressure, though a
larger part is due to the great
excess of imports over exports.
Europe is not shipping products from
the country as usual, nor lending
money as much as usual to carry prod
ucts here until they are needed,
and accumulated stocks at com
mercial centers with slow col
lections in the country make
the demand for money unusually large.
Then, natural results of the great
Reading collapse are seen in some fail
ures at Philadelphia and a more eau
tious spirit among lenders. Money is
not, as usual, tight only on call or
for speculation, but there has been
greater difficulty here than for many
years past in effecting commercial
loans. In spite of all these things,
however, confidence is unabated and
business is remarkably large with some
signs of Improvement
Exports of breadstuffs, cotton provis-
ions, cattle and oil in February were
but $40, 9S2, 33l, against S66, 304, 712 last
year, which, with the increase of near
ly IS. OOO, 900 in imports at New York,
indicates n probable excess of i'm
ports in that month Of SIS, 000,O0
against an excess of exports in the
same month last year of S21, 900, 600.
Exports in March also have been small
at New York, 81, $40, 900 less for two
weeks than last year. Speculation in
products has been naturally depressed,
cotton being at one time a quarter and
now three-sixteenths lower than a
week ago, with sales of over 1,2O0, 900
bales Wheat is "a cents lower, with
sales of 90, 600, 0O0 bushels, the govern
ment report of 135, 100000 bushels in

JULES FERRY DEAD.

I'm Two Weeks After Returning to Promi-
hence the Noted Frenchman Dies sud-
denly.
PARIS, March 1s.-Jules Francois Ca
mile Ferry, the celebrated French
statesman, recently elected president
of the senate, died very suddenly to-
day.
M. Ferry was born at Saint Die, in
the Vosges, and would have been 81
years old the 5th of next month He
was given good education, studied
law and was admitted to the bar at
Paris in 1851. Soon after he en-
tered the ranks of journalists and
was connected with the Gazette des
Tribunaux. In 1865 he became con-
tributor to the Temps and in 1868
obtained much notoriety by his attacks
on Baron Haussmann's administration
of Paris In the following year he was
sent to the corps legislatif of Paris. and
in September of the next year became
a member of the government of the ma
tional defence. He was minister of
fine arts and public instruction during
1879, 1850 and 1882; president of the
council from 1880 till 1881, prime minis
ter and minister of public instruction
from 1888 to 1885.
In 1880 M. Ferry caused great excite
ment in France by paragraph in his
educational bill, forbidding members
of authorized orders (Jesuits) to teach
in the public schools The paragraph
was rejected by the senate, but he
reached his aim by enforcing old laws
which had almost fallen into oblivion.
Ferry's career was that of typical
French statesman-full of incidents and
changes. After the death of the famous
Gambetta, he was the most conspicuous
figure in the chamber of deputies and
is said to have been the only ex-premier
who had not been precipitated from
Office by an expression of want of
confidence. He was candidate for the
presidency of the republic in the fall
of 1886, the date of the last general
election in France, against M. Sadi
Carnot, the nominee of the republicans,
and NJ. De Freycinet, the candidate
put forward by the radicals. Carnot
was successful and made M. De Freyci-
nent minister of war.
NJ. Ferry was driven from power as
the result of the Tonquin campaign
and consequent scandals and only re-
Gently returned to public life. He was
elected president of the French senate
less than two weeks ago and it was
then said that he would soon become
more powerful than ever.
