Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
 w transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef- 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- tion 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 beneso;ss; effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without facilitating tho organs on which it acts. It is therefore hll important, in order to get it's bene- 6cial 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 slsillful physicians, but if 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 satisfpctiOn.

A Carefully Planned swindle.

CHICAGO, March Is 1t will be many
o day before pool room men OF the
United States will recover from the
stupendous overlapping fraud perpe-
trated Saturday night. Rough esti-
mates indicate that the pool rooms lost
between $3.50, 900 and 100000 on the
racing mare Royal Nettie, whose name
was sent out from the New Orleans
race track as winner of the sixth race,
in spite of the fact that she ran next to
last and that the race was won by q
horse named Plug. The impression is
that the fraud was planned in New
York and carried through with New
York money. The fact that the men
who bet the money were around the
local pool rooms days in advance OF
the time of bringing off the coup, com
bined with the fact that there were
others of the gang at every pool room
in the country. shows that it was not
only carefully planned, but that it was
backed by an immense sum OF money.
Dispatches indicate that not half q
dozen pool rooms of consequence in the
United States escaped without loss.
Leaving out reconsideration the results
of the raid, the thing the fleeced pool
room men want to know most is how
the pane of the mare Royal Nettie was
sent out as the winner of the race at
the close of the description, and then
confirmed in the official result.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
WASHINGTON. March 16.

WASHINGTON. March 16.
Representative of the minor baseball
leagues met in Washington this after
noon to discuss matters in connection
with the baseball season. There are
several differences between the nation
al and minor leagues to come up for &C.
ton, the principal one being the pro-
vision of drafting promising players
from minor leagues to strengthen weak
national league clubs. Mr.. John B.
Day, who represents the national league
in the meeting, thinks there will be no
trouble in harmonizing any apparent
conflicts and smoothing out the rough
places.
The President to-day sent to the Sem
alto the following nominations: John J..
Brice, of California, to be Commissioner
of Fish end Fisheries, vice Marshall
Mcdonald, deceased: S. B. Tabb, of
Virgins, to be Assistant Surgeon in Ma
rine Hospital Service.
The Joint resolution authorizing and

The BooKIEs BEArEN.-There WIS

The BooKIEs BEATEN.-There was
a fine piece of work done at the race
track in New Orleans on Saturday, by
which every poolroom in the country
was hit. The sixth and last race of
the day was won by Plug, but the Of.
fetal result was changed by the tele-
graph operator at the race track to
read that Royal Nettie had come under
tie wire first. She was 10 to 1 shot,
and this deliberate Justification of the
result by the operator was no doubt the
consummation of carefully laid plan
by himself and confederates at various
points. 1t is stated by the telegraph
experts that the wire could not be tap
ped, as the wire to the race track is
what is known as a duplex wire, and
an intermediate set of instruments
could not be put in without attracting
instant attention.
