their sins.
''Francis, you ask much.n replied
Jesus Christ. "bnf your request IS
granted. Go co my Visar. the Pope. and
tell him to confirm and promulgate What
! have granted you."
~Ilonorious III. was Pope at that time.
and he hesitated at first TO grant the re-
quest of ST. Francis, as never before Ind
such a thug been done. But Francis by
hi. earnestness convinced him that he
had been sent by Christ. so he oruercd
the chapel dedicated and the Indulgence
proclaimed. Tue church was dedicated
St. Mary of me Angels at Assist.
Thousands have visited the church. But IL
being impossible for all persons to visit
Assist, subsequent Popes decided that
the indulgence could be gained by visit
ing any of the churches of the Francis
can Order. This indulgence Is the great
est, because it is the first Dlenary in
diligence ever granted. and the only one
granted by Christ himself, aud it was
granted to the end of tune. Any person
not able to receive the sacraments Tues
day may do SO the Sunday following.
The conditions for receiving the in
diligence are as follows:-Receive the
sacraments of penance and holy commu-
MON in any church. Then visit the Fran
ciscan church and say a prayer, according
10 the intention of the Holy Church. viz:
FIVE paters and ayes, a decade of the
rosary. or q litany. AS Often as you
leave the church aud visit it again, you
can obtain the plepary indulgence. Both
st. Joseph's and st. Francis churches,
Hoboken, will be open all day Tuesday,
and, no doubt, many Catholics of this
city will avail themselves OF gaining the
indulgence.

A Supply of Towels.

Have plenty Of towels Comfort
and cleanliness depend upon it. You
can better go without some Of your
household decorations than to 'get
along" with a scant supply of towels.
Have them OF good size. They are
more satisfactory and wear longer
than the curtailed sort. Shall the
towel be fringed? That is matter
of taste. Some one said the other
day thatsPa hens with two or moro
rows of hemstitching above the hem
would soon lead in 'linen good
forms" We hope, so-for the towel
i'm Ordinary use anyhow. Shall our
he damask or huckaback?
e. ESQ matter Of complexion.
Huckaback and Turkish are desirable
for bath use. But for the face use
the damask. With that you may rub
the skin without producing bat
tered-up feeling that is certainly not
advisable for the complexion. 1t is
we'll to persistentIy rub the face, sut
it is never improved by securing.
Get the new" out Of your towels be-
fore putting them to use. 1t is, in
deed, treating a guest i'll to offer him
D towel with the ''store" starch upon
it. Iron your towels on both sides.
They are more agreeable to use when
smoothly Numbered, and when so
polished give a tinge of thoroughness

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 oest 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 feyers
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
news, 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, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

Remedy ofGeneraI Utility.

1t is among the follies of which the manu-
facturers of many proprietary medicines are
guilty, to term their medicines ''panaceas.
or to claim for them the quality of panaceas.
There is no such thing as ''panacea" which
means a remedy adapted to all diseases.
This absurdity has never been perpetrated
by the proprietor of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. But they do claim, and with justice,
that it is a remedy of general utility, and
this because it restores that regular and Wig
orous condition of the stomach, liver and
bowels which cOnduce to the recovery Of
general health. Thus it fortifies the system
against malaria by infusing stamina, and
causing harmonious action of the organs
which, as long as they 60 right, are the best
guaranty against an endemic malady like
chills and fever. 1t accomplishes double
purpose by stimulating activity of the kid
neys, since it not only prevents their disease
and decay, but expels from the blood
through them impurities that cause rheuma-
tism, govt and dropsy. Use it with conf
dence,

SHE HAD A GREAT HEAD.
Burglars Held up the Train but she
Held her Money.


She was a charming young widow
and she occupied section on the Pull
man sleeper between Denver and San
Francisco.
The train was crowded and the atten-
ton of the passengers was divided be-
tween the winsome widow and the young
bridal couble from the East, who careless
of the comment their actions excited, con-
tinued to love each other with caressing
words and eyes to their hearts content.
The through passengers had become
like friends, and the long days which
the train rushed over rolling prairie and
desolate alkali waste were made short by
pleasant converse.
1t was one night when they were de-
scending the western slope of the great
Rockies that the incident occurred which
makes this story.
Several card tables had been established,
and at one of them the bridal couple
played as partners against the pretty
widow and handsome young man from
Jacksonville, Fla, who was on his way
to Southern California.
The game had ended and the young
married couple were victorious. They
were indulging in good-humored bad
image at the expense of their late oppo-
nents and asked if there was any other
game they were more familiar with than
whist.
''Never mlnd," said the little widow
''luck won't run your way always"
Seemingly in answer to her prophecy
came the stern command Hands upr'
and at each end of the car stood two
masked desperadoes with drawn re-
volvers.
The male passengers were taken by
surprise and there was nothing to do
but obey.
Slowly the robbers went through the
car and as one held the cooked revolver
covering his victim the other secured
his valuables.
When they came to the bridal couple
they made rich haul, the diamonds of
the bride and the well filed purse of the
groom, then they turned to the widow,
Your money" sternly. Demurely she
handed over her purse and an examina-
ton showed the train robbers that it
contained only railroad ticket, $3.50
in cash and Express Money Orders for
$1,000. The $3.50 they confscated, but
politely handed back the purse and
money orders, saying, eff all had your
forethought our occupation would be
gone"
That little widow married her hand
some young card partner in San Fran
cisco, and Is now living in Jacksonville.
