Ing would be advanced. Every imported
article, such as tea, sugar and coffee,
would have TO be paid for in gold. If any
advantage should follow it would go to
the bankers, brokers and spectators.
"The leaders in the Chicago convention
are not representing the Democrats of the
country. AS far as l can ascertain the
merchants of California prefer the gold
standard. Some Democratic merchants
who are very firmly and closely welded to
politics may remain passive and decline to
vote at the next election, but when the
issue is fairly presented with gold on one
side and silver on the other I think that
nearly all will be found in favor of main
tanning the doctrine of sound money as
against the silver imitation. The CONNER
cial men of the country have too much at
stake to remain passive and Indifferent
James Glib, importer of wines and
liquors on Merchant street since 1852. has
always voted the Democratic ticket, but
he is convinced that Democratic merchants
and business men will break away from
the party in view of the declaration in
favor of the free coinage of silver. He
said yesterday: 81 do not believe in talk
ing much, but | do say that the men who
are committing the Democratic Conven-
ton to the free coinage of silver are going
contrary to the sound-money principles of
the party. Yes, hear of leading Demo
Gratis who will bolt the nominations.
They may not say very much now. They
will remain passive, hoping that the Sec
ond sober thought will convince the men
who are now carrying things with high
hand that they have made mistake"
John w. Twiggs is Democrat of the
old school, but he has said frankly that ne
cannot support the free-coinage doctrine
of the party. He will vote for Mckinley
and sound currency.
Samuel o. Meyer of H. Levi & Co., is a
young man, but since he began voting ten
years ago he has been a steadfast Demo-
GRAFT. At the next Presidential election he
will cast his vote for Mckinley. He has
positive views on the money question and
thus expresses his sentiments: 1.-The

Uncle SANS PostoHices.

The growth of the Postofiice busi-
ness of the country has been amazing.
At the close OF the Revolutionary wal
there were only seventy-fve Postofii'
ces in the United States. At the close
OF the war OF 1912 there were 5000
At the beginning OF the civil war there
were 2s.5S6, and five years after its
close, in 1870, there were 2S, ,492,
or about one hundred fewer, the only
step back during the history of the
Postoffiee Department. By 1880 the
upward rise had started again in full
force, and the number of Postoffices
in the country reached $4,000. There
are now 60, 900 Postoffices in the United
States, and the number is constantly
being increased.

Miners, New safety Lamp.

A new safety lamp for mines, oper-
ating upon a peculiar principle, is re-
ported as being in successful use in
Germany. A peculiarity OF this lamp
is noted, namely, that it is not closed
in any special way, like other lamps.
and it matters very little whether or
not the workman. disregarding the
regulations of the mine, succeeds in
opening the lamp, for their is special
arrangement by means OF which the
fame is extinguished at the same in
stant. This is explained by their be-
ing in the interior Of the lamp glass a
spring, which is compressed when the
upper piece is screwed down, which
enables a cap to operate upon the wick
in such manner as to shift it aside,
facilitating the lighting OF the lamp
and aiterward the combustion; when
the spring is worked in the contrary
direction. the cap again operates upon
the wick, and the fame ceases the mo-
ment the cap comes in contact with
the air. The lamp can be lighted
without being opened.

Necessary for a choice
water as a Disinfectant.

Pure, fresh, cold water is one Of the
most valuable disinfectants, inasmuch
as it is powerful absorbent. Every
sickroom should have a large vessel OF
clear water, frequently renewed,
placed near the bed, or even beneath
it. This not only absorbs much OF the
hurtful vapor, but in its evaporation it
soitens and tempers the atmosphere,
doing away with the dryness which is
SO trying and depressing to an invalid,
or even to persons in health, for that
matter. Ithas frequently been shown,
by actual experiment, that troubled
sleep and threatened insomnia are ccr-
rected by SO simple thing as the
placing OF an open bowl of water near
the sufferers head.

the ELECTORAL vorE.

The various State Conventions OF all
political parties will during the coming
Summer nominate Presidential Electors.
The number Of electors chosen by each
State equals the number Of members it
sends TO Congress. The ratio OF repre-.
tionment made by the eleventh census Is
one to every ia. .3O1 in a State, which gives
total Of 357 representatives.. There are
80 Senators. This makes the total repre-
sentstion in both branches of Congress
447, and the electoral college will therefore
be composed Of 447 members. The sp-
pended table shows the vote which each
State will be entitled to in the choice for
President:

Tho mystery Of the Pearl.

The usual source OF pearls found
within the oyster appears to be the
intrusion OF some small foreign body
which sets up an irritation OF cuticle.
The only means OF defense open to
the mollusk is to deposit layer OF
nacre around the irritating particle and
thus cut it off from the soft, tender
skin. A grain OF sand or small crus-
tacean may slip in between the lips,
and, setting up irritation, provoke the
cuticle to deposit around it series OF
thin films OF nacre. These are added
to from time to time, the little nucleus
is completely encysted and pearl is
the result.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Within the last few months, says
the National Druggist, "the news
papers have chronicled the death oil
three or four persons from obstinate
hiccough. According to the telegraphic
reports, these people 'perished in spite
Of every effort Of the physician In
ouiry in one case. at least, brings out
the fact that Of the three methods OF
procedure in such cases, which are
almost invariably successful always
successful when applied early in the
easel. not one was used, simply. We
suppose, because not generally known.
OF these, one is inhalation OF amyle nj
trite. which was recommended by a
writer in the st. Louis Medical and
Surgical Journal many years ago, and
which in the hands. Of the writer has
never failed, and has succeeded in
some cases where all else had failed.
Varengot's method is another almost
infallible remedy. This consists in
loosening every construction around the
body, removal OF corset and belt in
case of woman, and loosening OF
drawers and trousers band in the
male. A moment after hiccough,
close the nostrils by pinching them
closely, let the patient take half in
spiration, and then commence to drink
a glass OF water, by little sips at regu-
lar intervals, sucking it in and holding
the breath. Prolong the operation as
long as possible without going to ex-
tremes. II necessary renew the opera
ton. This rarely ever fails. Varen-
got claims that in long years OF prac-
tice and with some desperate cases, it
never once failed. Indeed, it is based
on excellent physiological reasons; it
gives rest to the diaphragm, by the
slow deglutition OF little water and
air, while this deglutition, at the same
time, sets up a peristaltic action oil the
esophagus and stomach that breaks
the spasm OF the diaphragm. The lat
ter is closely allied to the antiperistal-
tic movement OF vomiting. A third
method OF procedure, frequently sue
cessful in very obstinate cases, is as
follows: A chair with high back is
placed in front OF the sufferer. The
latter is told 10 raise his arms above
his head, and to lean forward, bringing
the body across the chair-back at line
little lower than the diaphragm, and
at the same time to bring his arms
forward and downward till they touch
the seat OF the chair. II the first trial
fails. repeat the operation"

In all the great European cities the
fruit dealers sell peaches. pears and
apples, etc.. ornamented with armor-
ial bearings, initials. names and de-
signs OF various kinds. This work is
effected in very simple way: Fine
fruit is taken just before ripening and
paper designs neatly cut pasted upon
it. After a while these are removed
and a part OF the fruit that has been
covered is found to be of beautiful

CALIFORNIA; GREAT FORTUNES
Many PrinceIy Inheritsnces Have
Been DtssipRfed by the Heirs.

Been Dissipated by the Heirs.
California has long had reputation
as the home Of the bonanza king. and
recently issued document based on
the records OF the San Francisco Pro-
bate tells an interesting story Of the
contests and entanglements which
have massed about the last testaments
OF many famous millionaires and the
final disposition Of the sums they left
behind them. The document gives
the history Of fifty-three wills, dispos-
ing Of $l75 100000. About 400 heirs
divided that vast sum, and to-day
nearly half Of that number are penni-
less again, and only few have sue
ceeded in adding to their inheritance.
The average number of persons
provided for in each will was ten,
though in number OF instances, the
most notable OF which was the case OF
Florence Blythe, the entire estates
passed into the hands OF single heirs.
The comparatively small estate Of
Kate johnson, which was appraised at
81 ,250, 900, reached more heirs than
any other, the number on the list be-
ing twenty-five, while the 100000
OF Thomas Blythe went to one child,
Florence, after celebrated trial. The
estate of Maria Coleman was valued
at $l,757 900, and it went equally to
three heirs. Crocker's $22 900, 900
reached six persons, while Mary Ann
Crocker's went share and share alike
to four OF the six who got Charles
Crocker's larger fortune.
Peter Donahue's s3,70S,3l2 went in
equal parts to three heirs. Mrs. The
resa Fairs s4,693, ,250 went to three
persons-Chsrles l.. Fair, Miss Vir-
ginia Fair and Mrs. Charles Oelrichs,
while William T.. Fuller distributed
his 81 III 1862 to seven persons of bis
name. Emanuel Goldstein's 81 ,000,-
900 went to his six heirs. George
Hearst's s., ,6ss, 1877 went in equal parts
to his wife and son, while Walter 5.
Hobart's 1928 1866 went in thirds to
his three children - Walter Hobart,
Miss Ella Hobart and Mrs. Winthrop
Lester. Mary Hopkins s20,694, 762
went to two persons. Robert G. john
sons 81 .9l0,550 went to eleven per-
sons in almost equal portions.
There are a few exceptions to the
general course Of estates, as in the
cases OF Lick and Stanford. The
s. 900 900 OF the Lick estate went
chiefly to one heir and to a number OF
trusts OF public nature created before
James Lick's death. Charles Nc
Laughlin left his S2,476,000 to his

The Company known through
out the world as the
CAL FORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.

Having met with the highest sue.
cess in the manufacture and sale OF
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge OF the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process OF manuiact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste, and heallhfui
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination oil
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneficially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then 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.
