GIadnesS Comes

With better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical 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 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, andi
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that tits the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali 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 il in need of a laxative,
one 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.

RAILROADS WIN.
No Redress for Injured Parties I'm Two
Cases.

Cases.
Two important decisions relating to the
liability of railroad companies, were rem
dered by the Court Of Appeals late yester-
day afternoon. In each case the judgment
OF the lower court, in favor Of the COM
pany, was affirmed.
The first case was that Of Thomas Hur-
die against the Washington and George
town Railroad Company. The man at
tempted to cross the tracks between two
approaching cars, and was thrown down
and injured by one of them. The appel
late court holds, as did the court below,
that Hurdle should have waited until both
tracks We're clear, and that his injuries
were the result of his own carelessness
and negligence.
In the second case, that of John Cnllen
against the Baltimore and Potomac Rail-
ROAD company, the twelve-year-old son Of
the plalnt1n ran under the gates at street
crossing and was crushed to death by an
approaching engine. 1t was claimed that
the engineer was not on the lookout and
that the boy tripped and fell because of a
badly constructed track. But the appellate
court says that whatever may have been
the alleged negligence of the company in
failing to irclose its. tracks with a fence,
as seemed to be required by law, or in
leaving a dangerous hole in the track, or
running Its engine at unlawful rate of
speed etc, there was "evidence of con-
trlDutory negligence on the part Of the
victim, which wholly precludes any recoy-
cry by the plaintiff in this action unless the
deceased was in some way relieved Of the
legal consequences of his own negligence"

from the English it will require no knoSel-
edge or her tongue to judge of or enjoy
her acting. She will appear but four times

by the large advance sales at the box Of
nee, her fame has evidently preceded her
and that the audience that will assemble
Monday night will be a notable che in
numbers and distinction. The French and
Ger nan ambassadors and other member
OF the diplomatic corps have secured boxes
for all the performances.
