which captured first honors in the Hudson
County Bowling Club twice in success sion, and

heavy handicap. Is being reorganized. Charles

WITHIN THE MILE EMIT.

The Purchasers Of the Ivy City Track May
BE Compelled to Move Their Betting Stand.
The recent purchasers Of the Ivy City race
track are somewhat exercised over the law of
March 9 1891. which prohibits the sale of pools
within one mile of the boundaries of the city OF
Washington. More than one-half Of the Ivy
City track Is within this prohibited area, and
the pool lawn will have to be moved before a
bet can be made there.
Representative Tim Campbell. who has been
the leading spirit in the purchase. has applied
to the Commissioners for the law in the case,
and they have sent him the following, which
may be found on page 900, volume /. Of the
supplement to the Revised statutes Of the Dis
trict of Columbia:
BE it enacted. &c. That it shall be unlawful
for any person or association Of persons in the
cities Of Washington and Georgetown, in the
District OF Columbia, or within said District
within one mile of said cities, to bet, gamble
or make books or pools on the result Of any
trotting race or running race Of horses, or boat
race or race Of any kind, or on any election. or
any contest Of any kind, or game Of base bail. "
AS stated above the race track or q large por-
ton Of it is within the mile limit when meas
ured by direct line from the boundary of the
city. II, however, the road ia followed the
track will be without the prohibited area.
The Commissioners, however, are going to
measure by an air line and map is being pre-
pared by the engineer department showing the
track so measured.
This ultimatum on the part Of the Commits
sioners will, it is said, compel the managers OF
the new track to move the pool lawn and grand
stand to q position near the half.miie post.
which is the nearest point without the pre-
scribed limit. Some people contend that even
il this is done it will not obvinte the law which
was framed to prohibit not only gambling but
horse racing within the city. and that while the
betting may be without the mile limit the
horses on which the bets are made will be run
ming within the limit

formal reading, the teiiers merely stating the
results. mere was tDe UTMOST dig
nifty preserved until teller Blackburn an
nounced that the state Of Illinois had
cas-. twenty-four votes for Cleveland and
stevenson. Then few OF the spectators broke
into applause. which was promptly checked by

Look not on the wine when it is red;
but a little pale brandy helps the pud-
ding amazingly.
> A fat purse means a stout Christmas
tree.
The small boy cannot be judged by
his conduct on Christmas eve.
There are no Christmas presents the
tradesman gives with better grace than
receipted bills. Give him a chance.
We give thanks on Christmas eve,
For the gifts we think we're bout to
receive.
It's a foolish girl who gives her beaux
the mitten before Christmas.
Better a paid pork chop than a fat
turkey On tick. .
The man who quarrels with his wife
on Christmas day is worse than a horse
thief. Let him be anathema.
Blessed are the babies on Christmas
day; they can be put off with cheap
candy.
The head Of the family expends many
dollars on presents and receives two
handkerchiefs and a pair Of mits. Then
is the time to be merry.

A Mining Oppertaa atty Missed.

Speaking Of gold excitements," said
George w. Beal in the presence of a

me Of a chance / once had TO purchase
q placer claim in Confederate gulch.
The men WHO owned the bar offered
1t to me for 500 cash, and wer anx-
tous to sell 1t al that figure, but / hest
tated. Finally i told them / would
have an expert examine and test the
ground and If ii was what they repre-
sented it to be i would purchase it.
This was satisfactory, and my expert
made the test and reported u~nfavorably
upon it. That settled the deal, and |
went ON my way in search of Other
helds. About two months later ! re-
turned to Confederate gulch end found
Z six-mule team and a wagon behind it
containing two tons of gold taken from
a portion Of the bar those men wanted
TO sell me for 500. The team was
ready to start for Fort Benton with the
gold, n was surrounded by thirty
armed men, who were to guard the
metal on the way. After i refused to
purchase the ground the men concluded
TO work it themselves, and from a space
or 100 feet square had taken the two
tons OF gold. / have not seen the Eek

. Giant Kentucky Family, Consists
ing of Parents and Niue Children.
AS a specimen Of what Kentucky can
AZ in the way of producing stalwart
sons and daughters" said a proud ma
i've of the Blue Grass country to n
Now York Sun man, Il might mention
no old Joe Morrison family of Bour-
hon county. Anybody Of the present
generation who ever lived in Kentucky
win remember old Joe Morrison's fam
gy. The family consisted OF Joe n
his wife and six sens and three daugh-
,ers Joe stood 6 feet 4 in his stock
;ngs and weighed 30 pounds. His
wife was the same height exactly, but
she weighed 266 pounds. The oldest
san. Tom. was also q feet 4. and he
weighed 2S6 pounds. Jim topped his
brother Tom two inches In height, but
he wasn't as heavy by 40 pounds. Their
sister Sarah was a slim girl, weighing
on!y 155 pounds, but she could look
over the heads of both Tom and Jim.
for she stood G feet g 1-2 inches. But
John was the big boy OF the family.
He only lacked al inch Of being Z feet
high. and he weighed 800 pounds. Sis
ter Mary was n midget Of 6 feet ?,
and only weighed 149 pounds. Elijah
wasn't very tall, either, being the same
height as his sister Mary, but he was
Of pretty fair heft, tipping the scales
at 212. Matthew vas g feet 2, also,
and weighed 800, while Eli, standing
8 feet 4, weighed less than 200. The
youngest girl, Martha, was g feet s.,
and 100 pounds N weight. She would
undoubtedly have been the giant Of
the family, for that was her height and
weight at the age OF IA, a few weeks
before she died When these measure
ments were taken a few years ago,
the family were all together, but since
then old Joe and his wife have died
and the boys and girls are married
aud scattered about the state. l don't
know what their progeny have done
70 keep up the family reputation as
TO size, but III bet On 'em u keep up

FASCINATING BUT NOT PRETTY.
SoEae Traits OF the TOO-0ften Easy

sorae Traits OF the Too-often Easy
Going FrenchwOman Of Society.
The genuine Frenchwoman Of society
is rarely beautiful. She is always more
or less fascinating. Like the French
nobleman, she is tall, Hthe, intelligent,
appreciative Of art, with much delicacy
Of feeling, and has either very strong,
almost bigoted principles, or none at
all. As there is no possibility for the
development of love before marriage,
writes the Marquise de SIN Carlos in
the North American Review, this most
natural Of all human passions is apt TO
assert its power long after the eXcita-
BILE young French woman has contract
ed an alliance with some ''unsympathet-
ic fellow and it needs much character
and very solid virtue to resist the court
ship of enterprising French nOblemen,
who swarm around young brides with
the skepticism of true hb~ertineS. Wo-
men of strict principles, who have not
become nuns on leaving schools, and
who have the courage to Withstand the
current of youth and passion, lead after
HldITlISe, iOI lllt lbS pAA' =
lent domestic martyrdom. Those who
have rather loose morals, and they are,
~perchance, the greater number, seem TO
have a pretty good time of it and spend
their golden years trOmpant mars
with a vengeance, while they bring up
their children with the greatest severity
on a system of bllndfold ignorance.
In fact. the cool way the French women
have of being immoral without giving
up going Il church on Sunday Is
mystery. One sister viii be a Carmei-
ite and the others will accept the hon.
age of half a dozen admirers. Yet both
have been educated in the same con-
vent; both have shared the same life
till the age of Is, when The gay, laugh
ing blonde entered a religious order,
and the dark, almond-eyed sister sought
the marriage tie for the sole purpose
Of securing freedom.

A Family Laxative.

Physicians are not inclined TO recon-
mend self medication TO the laity. Yet
there Is one need, says the American
Analyst, which they are almost unable
10 supply. We refer to the family
Laxative" The family physician Is
able TO prescribe for the most compli-
Gated and obscure OF maladies and yet
is often puzzled TO know just what 10
give when asked for q remedy which
can be kept in the house for family
use as a laxative, that shall be effective,
free from danger, and not unpleasant 10
take. When absent on u summer
vacation we were asked by four dif-
ferent parties, representing as many
families, what we thought OF the syrup
of Figs Not one word did we yolun-
teer on the subject, and we were some
what surprised 10 find that there was
this small token OF the very general
use of that preparation. These parties
said they derived more benefit from
ii and found it more pleasant to take
than anything of the kind they had
ever used. The simple question with
them, was, is ii a dangerous compound:
We informed them that its active in
gredient was a preparation OF SIENNA,
and that ii was entirely free from dan
ger. With this assurance they volun-
teered the information that they should
continue to keep II in the house.
The th~erapeutical properties of SIENNA
are s % well known that comment on
this seems unnecessary. 1t might be
well to notice, however, that Bartho-
low says ii is - very safe and service
able cathartic," and that IL is highly
priced as a remedy for constipation.
He also makes the important obscrva-
ton that its use us not followed by
intestinal torpor and constipation"
The simple truth of the matter is,
we have altogether too few prepare
tons which we can recommend 10 our
families as effective laXatices. But the
California Fig Syrup company has one
of the most desirable combinations for
this purpose with which we are famil-
lar. The Fig Syrup company gives 10
the profession the composition of this
preparation, therefore there is no secret
about it: the persons who use this laxa-
tive speak in the highest terms about
it; and we are pleased 10 notice that
a large number Of physicians are pre-
scribing ii.
Viewed from the narrowest and most
selfish standpoint the physician will
lose nothing by recommending such a
preparation as Syrup of Figs 10 his pa
tents; while viewed from the highest
standpoint of doing the best possible
by those who place themselves in our
care, we would say the profession can
not do better than give their indorse-
ment to such a preparation.
