Washington, Dec. 2l.-The proceed
iugs in the senate Friday were opened
by a prayer by it's blind chaplain, in
vohing the Christmas influence Of
"leace Oh Earth and Good Will to Men"
and asking that the two greatest ma
tons of the ear h of one language, one
faith, one baptism and one Lord, should
not be embroiled in war. 1t was de-
livered with such feeling, earnestness
and eloquence that it was ordered to be
printed in the record. A very unusual
privilege to be accorded to chaplain's
opening prayer.
The day, however, did not respond to
that peaceful opening; and when the
hour of adjournment came the senate
had passed, without amendment and
without single negative vote,
tie house bill appropriating $780,
600 for commission to re-
port to the president on the true di-
visional line between the republic of
Venezuela and British Guiana.

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
alive; 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, 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 we'll informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

UNDER ONE FLAG.


Union OF American Republics 10 q POSI-.
bility.
Washington, Dec. 2o.-Among Sec
rotary Olney's callers Thursday were
Ministers Andrade, of Venezuela, Men
denca, of Brazil, and Romero, Of Mex
leo, representing three of the first re-
publics of South and Central America.
Though it was diplomat tic reception day
at the state department, their call at
that particular time occasioned much
ootnment. Although none Of the Cen
trail and South American diplomats
will consent to be quoted regarding
their call, it is known that they, as a
rule, have cabled their government that
the present seems an opportune time
for invoking the Monroe doctrine as
means OF support against European
pressure, several CT them being involved
in disputes with European nations at
this time. The ststementsis made by
one Of them that several importantre-
suits will follow from the vigorous con-
struction of the Monroe doctrine. First,
it is said, will be the official adherence
of the southern republics, making the
declaration practically unanimous from
the countries of the western hemis-
phere. 1t is pointed out that Lord Sails
bury insisted that the Monroe doctrine
was not recognized as international
law, but this, it is said, will be answered
by a showing that all the republics of
North and South America accept it as
the law governing them.
The suggestion is made with much
directness in diplomatic circles that the
course ofathe United States assures to
it all the moral and physical support Of
all the South and Central American re-
publics. In the aggregate the allied
strength of the western republics, with
the United States at its head, wouli
constitute formal factor in interna-
tional affairs. It is not suggested
among diplomatists that such an al
lance will take the formal shape of a
treaty, but it is urged that the feeling
of union existing constitutes compact
quite as effective as formal under
standing. y

One Of the curious revelations OF the
recent British census is the eXtraordi-
nary predominance of the female over
the male sex among the grown inhab-
ltants of England. The figures show
that the excess of the former over the
latter amounts to exactly 100000. An
other remarkable thing in connection
with this excess of women is the fact
that more than five-siXths of the total
500 600 are widows
