TEE NEW STEAMSHIP.
A big Ola Dominion liner Will Be
RmiIt NJ NOncil.s ShiDynrh.

The bids for the new steamship 70:
the Ola Dominion Line, which has been
in contemplation for some time, Were
opened on Saturday at the office of she
company in New York. Tie contract
VAS competed for by several of the
leading shipbuilders. but the lowest ana
best bid for It's contraction came from
Roachs shipyard. Chester, Pa. and the
contract Will be awarded 10 AIR. Roach.
This action was taken by the Executive
Committee on Saturday, subject to the
approval of one member OF the Commit
tee. who was not present at the meet
ing.
The new ship. which will be no. col
at the shipyard. will be about $50 feet in
length and 45 feet beam. She will be
much like the Jamestown and York
town in construction and appearance,
but trifle larger. and her joiner work
will be even more expensive than th1t
which has made these two splendid YES
sells the aS!mira ton of shipping authori-
ties everywhere. The work will have to
be pushed very rapidly upon her as she
is TO be completed by August l, 1897.

RESTS ITS CASE

DR., Nash claims that a majority of
the board did not agree rs to the in
fectiousness OF. membranous Group.
This; is not TRUE. If doubt EXISTED i'm
the mind of n member of the board the
board was unanimous in it's requirement
OF the posting Of all such cases. in view
Of the great preponderance of testimony
of scientists in support of this re-
quirement.
The board desires this to be an addi-
tional notification to physicians that all
violations of It's regulations will be pros
ecuted. Upon the foregoing testimony
(other testimony being merely cumula-
tive the Board OF Health rests it's
case, and asks of an unprejudiced
public fair and impartial verdict
The board gives its time to the public,
Its only reward being the results of It's
work and the consciousness OF duty
faithfully discharged.

Gladness Comes

NTH q better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys.
cal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-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 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, TINT it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used andgives mostgeneral satisfactioGs.
