brother of Count de Castellane, who

sition as the head of one of the proud
est families of the French nobility
would warrant, but the most demo-
cratic graciousness.
When the marquis and party reached
the pier they were hurriedly driven to
the Gould mansion on Fifth avenue,
where they will be the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. George Gould. The amour,
of duty said to have been paid upon
the presents and other articles brought

heirlooms which have been in the fam.
lily of the marquis for years, are said

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.
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 ST 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.

son was u years old. In 1874 Albert Will
hams removed to Michigan and contin-
ued his law studies at Monroe. Admit
ted to the bar the following year, he
went to Ionia, where he has since re-
sided. From 1S47 to 1851 he was prose-
cutting attorney of the county and short
ly after became one of the leading men
of the state He was a strong abolition
ist but, until 1854, had trained with the
democrats. In July, when the Michigan
republicans organized the party under
the name it has since borne, Mr. Will
liams was selected to represent his con-
gressional district at the meeting and
ever since has been a stanch supporter
of that party. That year he was elected
treasurer of his county and in 1860 was
again elected prosecuting attorney In
1862 he was elected attorney-gener OF
the state and reelected in 1864. He
served through the administration of
Austin Blair, the war governor of Michi-
gan, and successfully combatted sew
eral determined attempts made during
those troublous times to mulct the state
out of large sums by the wildcat"
railroad and improvement concerns.
The prohibitionists nominated him for
supreme court judgeship and several
other offices during the seventies, but
since his retirement from public service
after the close of the war Mr.. Williams
has been well content to rest on the lau-
rels he gained in political life. Still, he
takes an active and keen interest in the
affairs of the day and is always ready
to participate in all public movements.
The activity he displays despite his
years has ceased to be a marvel to his
townsmen, but always causes surprise
among those who meet him only occa-
sionally. During the campaign of 1894
when Gov Mckinley was in Ionia. Mr.
Williams endured a march and the en-
suing exercises in a terrific rainstorm
which compelled the younger men to
seek shelter. He declared the men of
earlier days We're Of hardy stock and
withstood the actual hardship of the
ordeal without flinching. His death will
remove one of the characters of the
west.

big Headed Women Not Beautiful.

A woman with big head can never
be handsome, much less beautiful. The
big head that is sometimes acquired
is not the sort referred to, but that ac-
tual largeness of skull and features
which savors of disproportion and can
never be symmetrical when combined
with feminine shoulders. Websterian
massiveness may please the Willards
and the Somersets, though never the
admirers of beauty and womanly grace
and to whom size means nothing in
tellectually, provided the gray matter
has room enough to exercise its precise
function. There is an antediluvian no
ton that the small head Of the ante
lope or the deer signifies a type well
followed by nature in the construction
of fair women, and even if the present
development of brains does physically
affect the race, this standard must re-
main the truest and best while the
Venus of Milo continues to eXist.-Bos-
ton Herald
