forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts

the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to 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
organs on which it acts. tits therefore

S. q WOROEN MUST HANG
The Supreme Court Denies His
Request for a New
Trial.
His Crime Is Called Murder of the
Most Aggravated and Shocking
Character"

S. d. Worden, who was recently con-
victed of the murder of Samuel G. Clark
and sentenced to death for the crime, has
gained nothing by his appeal to the
Supreme Court. In a decision filed yes
terday Justice Mcfarland, with the con-
currence of his colleagues on the bench,
affirmed the Judgment and order of the
lower court denying the motion for new
trial.
The circumstances adduced by the evi-
dence pointed to murder of peculiar
character, the deceased Clark being engi-
neer of train which ran off high trestle
near Sacramento owing to one of the rails
being moved aside by Worden and
others at the time of the great railway
strike about two years ago. The techni-
cal points upon which q retrial was de-
manded were decided to be insufficient.
In passing upon the petition the court,
referring to the allegation that the trial
jury was wrongly instructed, makes use
of the following language:
The court fully informed the jury that an in
tent to take human life is necess ary element
OF murder in the irst degree. They were told
that in order to convict the defendant of muir
der in the first degree they must be convinced
beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant
either personally or in concert with others
killed the deceased with malice aforethought.
by some kind of willful, deliberate and pre-
meditated killing, and that in order to eonsti-
tute murder in the first degree the Intent to
kill must be the result of deliberate premedi-
tation. This principle was given to the jury
in various forms, and it was beyond question
that the evidence abundantly warranted the
jury in finding the defendant guilty of muir
der in the first degree-murder of most ag-
gravated and shocking character.
Worden is at present in the State Prison
at Folsom, WHITTIER he was conveyed over
a year ago to await his execution.

906 Broadway, July 20.
The tabernacle and the annex and the
thousands of feet under canvas, where the
exposition is to open next Monday are
busy places. No matter where visitor
stood to-day he was in the way. Every
space awarded to exhibitors was scene of
activity. Engines are being set up, booths
erected, reception places built, decorations
were being hung and Superintendent
Sharpe and his corps OF assistants were
dancing around as though they were on
springs.
Last year there was much dissatisfac-
ton and discomfort on account OF there
being no auditorium from which the visi-
tors could listen to the concerts and witness
the stage performances. There will be no
cause for complaint on that score this year.
Theimmense space added to the hoorage
has permitted of the arrangement of seats
facing the stage and this will be great
advantage.
The stage has been greatly enlarged at
the east end Ii runs the entire length OF
the building and is twelve feet wide.
Thursday, August 6, will be the Asso-
ciated Charities woodward Fund Day. All
persons who patronize the Exposition on
this day Will not only see the exhibits, but
will be putting money where it will be
means of helping the needy poor during
the coming winter months. DR.. f. s.
Chapman is chairman OF the programme
committee, and this in itself is a guaran-
tee that the days entertainment will be of
an excellent character, Tickets bought of
the Associated Charities on or before that
day will result In an increase of the fund.

Trade, has donated a quantity OF large
flags for the decorations, which will in
crease the attraciiveness of the building.
