need not take our word for it. They have in nearly

forced to confess that IL surpasses i'll curative power

nearly all these and had either utterly failed to

preparations of the hypophosphites had also been
faithfully tried in vain.

4 THOROUGH TAMMANY MAN.

Hugh j. Grant was born in 1885 in West
Twenty-seventh-st. His father was a successful
liquor-dealer who invested his savings in real
estate and became wealthy. The elder Grant
expended money avishly on the education OF his
SON who was AN only child. After attending
public school and Manhattan College, Hugh was
sent to Europe wher' he studied ierman'
French and music. He came back 10 New oik
when about seventeen years old and finished his
education at 81. Francis Naviers College, wnefe
ne spent four years. Afterwafd he studied law,
being graduated from the Columbia College Law
School He opened real estate and law ofhces at
No % Chambers-st and No. 203 West Fifty
fourth-s; He carly acquired a love Of the turf
and began to frequent the race tracks in com
pany with persons who were summed by more
careful men.
Mr. Grant became politician about 1880, and
two years later was elected to the Board or
Aldermen from the XIXth District. He was
reelected in 1888. and first acquired fame by
refusing to vote for the doodle Broadway
steal. John Kelly. who then controlled Tam
many Hall took him up for Mayor the next
year. but he was defeated by William X Grace.
County Democrat. TIE next year. having Kelly
still behind him, Mr. Grant was elected Sheriff.
He was elected Mayor in 1888, defeating Joel
r Erhardt, Republican candidate. and Abram
S. Hewitt, County Democrat, and was re-
elected in 1890 over Francis NJ Scott. the
fusion candidate. At the end of his second
term Croker refused him another nomination.
and Thomas +. Giroy succeeded him
MISDEEDs AS SHERIFF.
The testimony before the Fassett Investigate
ing Committee Of 1890 revealed a system Of
maIadministration in the Sherin's Office rum
ming through Mr.. Grants term. 1t also brought
out the remarkable relations which existed be-
tween Grant and Richard Croker. including the
gift Of $4,000 10 "Flossie" Croker, Richard
Cookers infant daughter. Grants excuse for
this present 10 the Tammany Hall chief was
that he, Grant, was godfather TO the child.
Croker. however, under the prodding Of coun-
sci. before the Fassett committee, admitted that
ne had taken the money himself and had in
vested II In his Mount Morris property
Some of Grants appointments while Mayor
were bad they could be. one Of these
was Patrick Diver 10 be a police justice.
Grant made this appointment Of Diver with a
knowledge OF his unsavory character. which
has since been fully exposed by the Lexow Com
mittee. When respectable citizens expressed
their disgust with this choice OF n police JUS
tice. Grant produced letter from Recorder

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.
It's 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
atiye; effectually cleansing the system
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation;
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid~
neys, i've. 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
