Gladness Comes

With better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pfeasante efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
~ removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. II is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Calf
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatiyes or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sl1illful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used andgives most general satisfaction.

Seattle, Wash, May 4-The steamer
Lakame has rachel Seattle from Cooks
Inlet, alter a fine passage both ways On
board was William A. Steel, special cor
respondent of the San Francisco Call and
secretary of the Washington Press asso-
cIetlon, who reports his observations as
follows: The rush this spring to the
gold district of Turn Again Bay, Cook s
Inlet. was unprecedented. Although
comparatively unexplored, numerous
creeks on thelbay have given up gold dust
and nuggets of such value as to encour-
age the hopes of prospectors numbering
thousands, that wealth may be rapidly
amsssed there. Every creek and river
show traces of fine gold, which increases
in coarseness as the streams are assembled.
Auriferous deposits cover territoryIof.al-
most unknown extent while prospecting
thus far has been comparatively slight.
Probably one thousand men are now on
the inlet waiting to get into the creeks
and several hundreds more are distrib-
uted at other ports of entry, waiting for
spring to open.

Mr.. PIatt on Bosses.
(From an Interview. }

"We hear a great deal of talk about the
way the people are dealing with the
bosses and how the bosses are being
set at naught by great uprising of
| the people against them. Will the honest
folks who are giving voice and pen to the
| utteranoe Of these profound observations
be good enough to tell us who instigat-
ed the early conventions in Arkansas,
Mississippi, Ohio, Kansas anda Wisconsin?
Every one knows that the alleged Nc
Kinley boom was launched at these
| conventions, and that the bosses in
Ohio, Kansas, Wisconsin, Arkansas and
Mi ssissippi knew what they we're about
when they summoned their clans to gath
er at their convention towns in the first
days of a backward spring. These shout
ers against bosses and bossism' evident
~ seek to regard MIR. Hanna as a single
minded citizen, devoted to the public
welfare, while they consider Mr.. Quay as
an obnoxious boss. They look upon
Gen. Powell Clayton of Arkansas in the
light of simple business man, but Gen.
ClarksoI is the embodiment of bossism'
in Iowa. They see that Mr.. Cyrus
Leland of Kansas is an unobtrusiye
granger, and with the same eyes they
discover that Mr.. Manley bosses things
in Maine. am held up as the terrible
example of the boss sort, but Mr.. Cor
nelius n. Bliss is a gentleman whose
presence III tno leu Oh pOlltlC3 is u re-
markable instance of self-sacriflce. There
are no bosses in Ohio. Indiana, Tennes-
see, Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri, Kan
sas, or Wisconsin. Only leaders abound
in these blessed commonwealths, and tho
leaders there have a heayen-sent right
to induce the people to take their own
candidate, whoever he may be.
"Thosa in touch with the people, and
who carefully strive to act as wise lead
ers, are not concerned as to the outcome
of the ST. Louis convention. The

for in the end calm reason must assert it's
sway, aud the right must therefore surely

Pay of Postal Clerks.

New York, May A Washington
special says that Representative Sperry. of
Connecticut, intends to make every effort
to get his bill for the classification of
clerks in first and second class postoffioes
through the House of Representatives be-
fore the close of the present session. Pos
tai clerks are not paid in accordance with
any fixed rule. MIR. Sperry's bill is in
tended to classify and pay the clerks a.
cording to the work they actually per-
form. 1t will operate, however, to in
crease the pay of large number of postal
clerks, who under the present system, are
improperly classified and paid, and, while
the increase will be similar in individual
Instances it will amount to considerable
ais have for many years uniformly adyo

STILL THE WOMAN QUESTION. IL
The Methodist Conference Considering
Their Eligibility to Admission.

Cleveland, o., May At the fore
ence, Bishop Merrill announced that the
order of the day was the report of the
committee of eligibility. A eommunica-
ton was then read from the women dele
gates from the North Indiana and Ohio
conferences. 1t said that while they firm.
" believed that women had the right to
be admitted to the conference, they re-
spectfuIly Withdrew their rights in the
interests of harmony. 1t was sign ed by
three Of the women delegates, and was
q stunning blow at the champions Of the
WOman'S cause.
The secretary read the majority report
which declared that women had con-
stitutional right to mem bership in the
conference. Rev. DR.. A. @. Kynett
made brilliant speech in favor OF the
adoption of the report.
The Rev. DIR. Medley of Philad elphia
read the minority report. 1t said that
the minority had carefully inquired in
to the question and had found that the
women possessed no right in the confer
enoa whatever.
DR.. Medley made fergid speech in
favor of the minority report. His chief
point was that women could only be ad-
mitted by change in the constitution.
That could only be done, he said, by a
three quarters vote of the members OF the
annual COME renoes and the approval OF
tire general conference.
DR.. Neeley moved to substitute the
minority for the majority report. This
was lost. Other vigorous speeches for and
against women were made.
After a long and heated discu ssion,
further debate on the woman q uestion
was postponed until ten O'Clock tomorrow
forenoon.

man who Is doing the work Is on the
who is speaking. He generally stands in
the aisle, a short distance in front of the
member. He holds his notebook at about
the height of his chest i'll his left hand,
and writes with his right. The fatigue
and difficulty of this position may be
imagined. 1t is hard enough TO write in

have plenty of time, but of course in

essary because in the great noise and
hubbub of the House one must be close

word just as it is uttered is what is de-
manded by the Congressional Record.

opportunity for the reporter to sit down

From the gallery of the House of Rep

ly we'll informed, it is very interesting
to watch the work of the five official stem
ographio reporters, who take down in
shorthand notes everything that is said
by the mem bers, that appertains to the
business of the House. At first thought
this would seem to be nothing more than
the ordinary work of court stenogra
pher, which is familiar to everybody.
five men for while and have learned
something about them, from those who
know, you gradually realize that they
are picked men, that they DO, and must
occupy the very top of their profession
in this country and you see why it il
that there is necessity for Eve of them anf
why it is that they receive a salary Of
5000 session, the same as that of thu
Representatives themselves.
They are all men, we'll advanced in
years, probably all of them being includ
ed between the ages of 35 and 30 years.
They are as prominent among the stem
ographers of the country as are Choate,
Coudert and others among the lawyers.
Their names and duration of service
are as follows:
David Wolfe Brown, who has been in
the service for over 80 years, or ever
since this corps Of government official
stenographers was estab ished. Before
that, of course the membership OF the
House was smaller, and the work was
done by contract.
