WITH q better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys-
zeal ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle cfforts--pleasantef 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 onlv
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly bv all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects arc due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. Its therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended tothe most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informcd everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most general satisfaction.

PULLING FOR PORTFOLIOS
Hanna Has Seance With Two
ASpirantS for the Naval Job.
&. a. Moore and +. III. Wilson Slip
Over From New York to Push
Their Claims.

Two very important personages arrived
at the Arlington yesterday without much
fuss feathers, or trumpetS, and it is said
that their arrival will have a great deal
tO do with the appointment OF the coming
SECRETARY of the Navy. In fact, it was
! stated last night at the hotel that one OF
them had been selected as the nominee
for the place to President elect Mckinley.
One OF them is Mr. c. A. Moore, of Man
ming, Maxwell x Moore OF New York, who
are said TO be the most extensive dealers
in metals and machinery supplies in the
world. The other is Hon. F. H. Wilson,
member OF Congress from Brooklyn. These
two, with Cornelius n. Bliss, form the
present or late embarrassment of Mr
Hanna.
II Was understood about the hotel that
Mr. Moore and Mr.. Wilson came to town
in their own interest yesterday afternoon,
and that each proved his case specifically
to Mr.. Hanna.
AIr. hluure Is not a recent convert to
Mckinleyisni. He is, in fact, one Of the
original boomers, and is said 10 antedate
Mr.. Hanna i'll this particular industry.
Mr.. Moore was one OF the stancheSt sup
porters OF Mr.. Mckinley when he was
framing the famous Mckinley bill. He
also took an active part i'll the organiZa-
lion OF the first business mems Mckinley
club in New York, and when certain reso-
lutlons were passed by the club, Mr.. Moore
took them with him TO Cleveland and also
to Canton.
Mr.. Wilson is from the Brooklyn Navy
Yard district and is said To be strongly
backed for the place, largely for work
done in the campaign and for his quaiifi-
cations
Mr. Bliss, il Will be recalled, was not
exclusively a Mckinley man. His shib-
boleth lnIhe campaign was anything tobeat
Platt, bat stun he Is regarded as for
nidable opponent of Mr. Moore and Mr.
Wilson. He drifted into the Mckinley
| boom by the force OF circumstances and
when the sentiment grew strong that
! neither the portfolio of the State nor of
the Treasury should go to New York. in
aSmuch as il was desired to leave these
places out of the always presumed control
| the direction OF the Navy.
The conferences which We're held yes
| terday between Mr.. Moore, Mr.. Wilson,
| and Mr.. Hanna, are supposed to have
| been final, MIR. Hanna viii leave here
| during the latter part OF the week. The
| chances OF Mr.. Bliss Were said last night
| To depend largely on any agreement
| reached bet ween Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Moore
The rumor notwithsta nding these diff
! culties was that Mr.. Moore had been rec
| commended to Mr.. Mckinley. As usual,
| however, it was not possible to get any
confirmation of the report, which does
not, by any means, lack elements OF proba-
| bility.

BRANCH NATIONAL BANKS
Comptroller Eckels' Plan to Extend
the System
SuB-BankS to Be Established In
Towns of Less Than Two
Thousand Inhabitants.

Hon. James II ECkels, Comptroller OF the
Currency, has considerable 10 say in his
annual report about financial stringency
and congestion, and he makes remedial sug
gestions of interest. Amendments to the
national bank act looking To give relief
are proposed by the Comptroller as follows:
That in places having population of less
than 1000 Inhabitants national banks
shall be permitted, under regulations to be
made by the Comptroller OF the Currency
and approved by the Secretry Of the Treas
ury, to be organized with u capital stock
OF not less than $4,000, and with cor
responding reduction in the amount OF
bonds required to be deposited with the
Treasurer OF the United states.
That national banks be permitted under
such regulations and restrictions as shall
be made by the Comptroller of the Cur
rency and approved by the Secretary of
the Treasury, to establish branch banks in
towns and villages where no national bank
is established and where the population
does not exceed LOCO Inhabitants; such
branch banks to have the right to receive
deposits, make loans and discounts and
buy and sell exchange, but in no case to
be permitted to issue circulating notes other
than OF the parent bank.
That the semi annual tax on circulation
be reduced to one-fourth of one per cent
That the issue OF circulating notes to the
par value OF the bonds deposited be per-
mitted.
In support of his recommends ton for the
esta blishment of branch banks, the Comp
troler says:
The construction placed upon the ma
tlCnal bank act as now III force by the
Supreme Court precludes the eSta bllShing
and maintaining of branch banks under it.
