BENJAMIN BRISTOW DEAD.

The sx-Secretary of the Treasury Who
Froke Up the Whisky Ring at Rest
NEW YORK, June 2S.-Benjamin Hell
man Bristow, ex-secretary of the treas
ury, died to-day at his home in this
city. He was born in Elkton, Todd
county, KY, June 20, 1852. When the
war broke out he entered the Northern
army as lieutenant-colonel in the
Tweuty-Fifth Kent ucky infantry and
distinguished himself at Fort Henry
and Donelson, Shiloh and elsewhere.
He assisted also in the capture of the
raider, Gen. John ii. Morgan. After
the war Col. Bristow removed to
Louisville and took high rank in his
profession. In 1870 he entered into a
law partnership with Gen. John NJ.
Harlan, but in the following year was
appointed to the newly created Office
of solicitor-general of the United
States by President Grant Three years
later upon the resignation of Secretary
of the Treasury Richardson he was
named for the vacant position. lie lost
no time in laying pipes for wiping out
the whisky ring, which induced the
political enemies of Grant to put him
forward as a candidate for the presi-
dency-a move which obliterated him
as he had obliterated the whisky ring.
He resigned from the cabinet in 1876
and at the repu blican national conven-
tion held that year in Cincinnati re-
ceived 123 votes for the presidential
nomination upon the first ballot

BEAUTIFUL JAVA.

Its Scenery said to Rc an Example of rrop-
icai Perfection.
The scenery of Java is, 1 think, trop-
ical perfection No sameness in the
landscape wearies the eye. All is val
ley and mountain, cultivated with
beautiful crops-irrigated ricefields,
emerald-green stretches of tall, waving
maize, small thickets of bamboos
gracefully bending to tee breeze-or
covered with tropical verdure only
equaled in beauty by the forests of
South America. Being only midday
when we arrived at Tassikmalaya we
ordered tiffin and two carts to be
ready an hour later to take us on n %
mile stage to Bandjar. So at two
o'clock we were once more en- route in
the usual conveyances of small avn
UNCOVERED carts-each drawn by
three ponies-one for ourselves and
the other for the baggage. For the
first few hours we passed frequently
through small villages where the
ponies were watered and our drivers
cbatted with the fruit-sellers
The last part of the journey was
through tall jungle, and as the sur
had set some two hours before our ar.
rival at our destination it was no easy
matter for the drivers to keep the road
in the inky darkness. Finally. long,
steep hill took us down from the com
parative GOODNESS of high altitude in
to the fetid swamps where lies the
town of Bandjar. At first sight you
would think these swamps inha bited,
in shch myriads do the firefiies fit to
snd fro, or hang motionless, lamplike,
n the misty air, giving one the idea of
rne lights of some distant village. All
the natives here, as elsewhere in the
island, hold the white man in great
awe, and as you pass along all doff
their huge brimmed hats and some
kneel by the wayside. In such towns
in the interior as Bandjar there are no
hotels, but the Dutch government
provides free stopping houses for trav-
slers-dirty, tumble-down places for
the most rart-where n caretaker viii

In Maine recently a persistent sew
ing machine drummer tackled a house
in which lived an old bachelor who
hadn't a sewing machine. The agent was
persistent and the bachelor obdurate
until the latter said he positively
wouldn't buy machine unless wom-
an to run ii was also provided.
Then the agent hunted around and
in six weeks had found an elderly but
excellent maiden lady who had been
waiting for some good man to speak
out to her and actually succeeded in
getting her married to the bachelor.
Then he made the sale of machine.
The bachelor thought ne was lucky. If
had been clever he would have taken
a woman who already had machine
and saved eommissions.-N Orleans

IN CONTEMPT.
Napoleon Held Royalty and Crowns Tha,
Were Inherited.


The great Napoleou's character was
sstrange mixture of eager desire to en-
Joy the honors and glitters of royalty
and of contempt for those he found
lpon thrones. 1t was as If he thought
crown the thing most of all to be
desired in the world, but had no re-
spect for kings who had not them
selves won their crowns lie laughed
at all attempts to prove that his own
blood was derived from royalty, and
said that his nobility did not go back
any farther than his receipt of his cor
porafs commission.
1t is told that Bonaparte presided
one day in the French senate, and,
taking out his pocket handkerchief,
accidently dropped several letters on
the floor. Senators scrambled to be
the first to pick up the letters, which
were all finally gathered up and re-
turned to ;he emperor in a bunch
''0h, never mind" said he, they are
Of no consequence at all; simply some
letters from Alexander and Frederick,
who tease me almost to death with
their troublesome correspondence"
Alexander was the emperor of Rus
sia. and Frederick the king of Prussia
And, by the way" Napoleon went
on, Alexander, see, writes a better
hand than Frederick. But" (searching
his pockets for another letter. Fran
els, here, writes worse than either OF
them"
Francis was the emperor of Austria
who, by the way, Judging from the
samples of Bonaparte's handwriting
that remain, certainly did not write a
worse hand than the great emperor of
the French. And, at any rate, Alex
ander, Frederick and Francis calling
to their aid one George of England,
were eventually able to write the
doom of this severe critic of their cor
respondence.- Enquirer.

More Than n Score of Persons Buried Un-
der Failing Walls in San FrancIsco-Five
Dead.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 23-The three
story building at the corner of Fifth
street and Mint avenue, in which the
Brighton house and the Pioneer coffee
house were situated, collapsed at 4:3O
yesterday afternoon, burying 90 per-
sons in the ruins. Five dead have been
recovered, and II injured rescued. The
building came down with an awful
crash and the structure was in a mo-
ment a mass of kindling wood. There
were large number of people in the
building at the time. In front of the
ruins, plainly visible, lay a man.
Across his body was a large beam. He
cried piteously for help. After work.
ing half an hour the rescuers released
him and he was taken to the receiving
hospital. The mass of debris greatly
retarded the work of the rescuers. To
add to the horror the debris caught
fire at the rear end and a volume of
smoke blinded the -escuers. The en-
gines commenced to play stream on
the fire. This added a new horror, as
the water threatened the lives of those
under the debris

IL7ith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante 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, that il is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs ON which it acts. 1t 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 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 If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
weil-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Arguing Tor and Against tho Admission
of Women Delegates.
CLEVELAND May 5.-The thirteen stand.
ing committees and the special committee
on Epworth League In the Methodist con-
ference organized permanently yesterday
afternoon, and began their work today
Among them are the committee which
will consider the advisability of having
more bishops and that which will make
recommendation on the proposition to
mitigate the severity of the rule govern
ing the itineraoS of minister's.
Bishop Foss said to the Associated Press
agent; 81 believe that moro OF the bishops
than not think our number should be in
creased by three or four The minority,
however, is very strong. My idea, ifmore
bishops are chosen, is not to make bishops
Of India, China, Africa, etc, but to have
them bishops in "a general sense, so that
we can devote what time is necessary to
this country and certain of us go to for
eign lands for what time is needed to be
devoted there"
The advocates and opponents of the prop
osition to admit women delegates were
pitted against each other yesterday in
what will probably be a decisive battle,
The committee of thirty one on eligibility
sent in majority report in favor of the
women, and minority report. The sup
porters of the women delegates cause claim
that they have certainly won the victory,
and that the final vote will seat the wo-
men. Their opponents, however, while
they concede that the other side had a
large majority of the delegates from the
start, declare their belief to be that the
tide was turned by the speeches in confer
ence yesterday. The debate was resumed
in the conference today.
