ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
fo~rts-gentle efforts-pleasant 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
ly 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

may be commended,to the most skillful
physicians, but II in need of a laxative,
II should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
! used and gives most general satisfaction.

A Bright German Lad Finds Friends
In HobOken.

IA
Alexander Kramer, a fourteen-year-old
German boy, called at Police Headquar-
tiers, Hoboken, last night and asked for a
nights lodging. He could scarcely speak
English, But appeared to be a very bright
and intelligent lad. To an interpreter he
told an interesting story of hardships and
poverty. He said that he was an orphan
and resided in Hamburg, Germany, where
he made a living by singing in concert
halls. While singing in one six months
ago he made the acquaintance of a man
getting up an opera company to go to
America, and if he would
them he would get good wages and live
nue. better han he ever did before.
He accompanied them to America, and
they went out West. The opera COM
pany went to pieces in Milwaukee, and
the man and woman left the town sud-
denly, leaving him behind, without a cent
or a friend to his name.
He wen to the police in that city and
told them his story. They secured a pass
for him on one of the railroads to Jersey
City, and he arrived here about two weeks
ago. From this city he went to Hoboken,
where he secured a position as waiter in
PIue's Atlantic Garden, at River and
Eighth streets. The other and older wait
ers in the place took a dislike to him
and yesterday one of them choked him.
He left and started out to secure another
night took him.
Detective Weinthal took him out and
got him a good place in John Eitzen's
boarding house, at Hudson and First
thanked the detective and Mr.. Eitzen for
their kindness.
