Gate City National bank, on Friday
evening the 10th instant an oyster
supper to raise funds for the benefit
of the city's poor, will be given by the
Y. p. S. G. E., of the First Presbyter-

thy one and deserving the generous
patronage of our people. Let all
turn out and aid the young people in
worthy and charitable efforts. If well
patronized the proceeds of this supper
will reliev many poor and distressed
persons from cold add hunger during
the approaching winter. 1O-16-5t

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; 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
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
md being well informed, yon will not
accept any substitute if offered.

Take it all in all the world is fair.
That is, its judgments are pretty gen.
orally just. No doubt it has formed
many incorrect conclusions from the
time the caravels Of Columbus appear
ed off the shores Of San Salvador to
the present year of celebration, but
there are instances of its fairness
which can be sighted unquestioned.
1t has, after comparative tests, given
its award to Hostottcr's Stomach Bit
ters for efficacy in cases of malarial,
rheumatic and kidney disorder, dys-
pepsia, liver complaint, constipation,
nervousness and debility. Among
positive facts without any doubt"
this verdict deserves prominent
place. The experience OF a genera
ton justifes, and the concurrent testi-
mony Of hosts of eminent physicians,
bear out its truth. Give the Bltters q

THE FIGHT STILL ON.
The Legislative Lane Shows No
Turning Point, as Yet.

Legislative affairs at Washington
appear as yet to be in a very unset
tied and uncertain condition, SO far
as the financial problem is concerned.
The House is, of course, much less af-
fected by this definite and trouble
some state of affairs than the Senate,
and is going ahead with other impor-
tant legislation. This lower branch
of Congress on Monday passed the
now famous McCreary bill with the
amendments offered by Mr.. Geary
and Mr.. Caminetti. The bill as passed
extends the provisions of the Geary
law six months, defines Chinese labor
erS and merchants, and makes manda-
tory for photographs Identification,
requires marshals to carry out orders
for deportation, jailing Cinnamon
without bail pending the execution of
deportation writs and excludes China
men convicted of felony from permis-
sion to register.
Mr., Geary declares that the bill as
passed is perfectly satisfactory to the
coast, and if enforced at the expira-
tion of the time limit, will settle the
Chinese problem. Those who depart
Will not be able to transfer their reg
istration certificates and in the course
of time all will disappear from these
shores.
The administration is also satisfied
with the bill, so Chairman McCreary,
of the foreign affairs committee, AYERS.
Chairman McCreary, in closing the
debate, declared that he favored pro-
tecting the American laborers against
the millions of Chinese laborers. But,
while he favored exclusion, he did not
think it just and honorable to deport
$4,000 men without giving them an
opportunity to register, when they
had been led to refuse to register on
advice of their attorneys and employ
ers. Honor and conscience demand
ed so much. If, at the expiration, the
Chinese had not registered he would
unite with the Pacific coast members
in favoring any measure to deport
them.
In the Senate everything remains
subordinate to the financial question.
There has at least been one thing def
nitely settled, and that is that there
will be no more night sessions in that
branch of Congress until the silver
question shall have been disposed Of.
The repeal members tried that exper-
iment again Monday night with the
result that every attempt at legisla-
ton was defeated by the opposition
during that time, and would have so
continued but for an understanding
brought about by the ENHANCEMENT
which was inaugurated between the
opposing forces to check filibusIering,
on promise from some of the mem-
bers of the repeal side to attempt to
SO arrange matters as not to make an
other effort to secure night sessions.
This agreement, while it was not per-
fected, had the effect to cause the sill
yer men to cease their calls for quo
rum and of permitting Mr.. PETER to
continue his remarks without inter-
ruption from the call bell. If this ar
rangement is completed, as now seems
probable, there will be 10 more night
sessions.

The laws of China recognize seven
causes for divorce. They are; Las
civiousness, jealousy, barrenness, theft,
disobedience, leprosy and talkative-
ness. The laws are for the protection
of men; the women do not seem to be
considered worth legal protection; a
man is liable to punlshmeet if he re-
tains wife who has been guilty Of
adultery. An eloping wife may be
sold by her husband and if she mar
ries while he is absent from his house
she mnst suffer death by strangling.
The legal power granted to men over
their wives is often tyrannically used
and many instances are on record of
the lowest kind Of brutality beng
practiced.

although the idea Of this association
was only conceived less than three

subscribed, which, coupled with a sum
left over from similar organization
last season, makes $17,765 which the

toward improving the city as it sees
fit. It is likely that the whole amount
will be expended the coming summer,
and that like sums will be raised each
