Gladness Comes

XNTith a better understanding of the
w 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-
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, andis
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it 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. IL
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skiilfui
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 Geueral eotas1nct1on'

A number of competent master mechanics
have been slow TO proclaim the merits OF
the compound type OF locomotive. but still
cling to the belief that the simple locomo-
tive. all things considered. Is the best
freight or passenger engine. That there is
some ground for such preference was DEM
onstrated last week. Much has been said
about one of the compound u1ogul type of
engines hauling twenty-five loaded refriger-
ator cars from Altoona. to Harrisburg, 132
miles, in three hours and thirty-seven
minutes, and, to the surprise OF
er of the Pennsylvania road, on
Friday engine No. 76S, a simple type of To-
comotive, hauled a similar train in every
respect over the same division II three
hours and twenty-seven minues. In both
cases the engines were constructed TO take

THE CHARITIES INQUIRY.
Nothing Done Because of the Nisun.
dcrstandfnE as to the Chairman.

There is hitch over the proposed in
Quiry into the sectarian charities of the
District. as provided for by the District
OF Columbia appropriation bill. On the
closing day Of the session Vice President
Stevenson named Senator Harris as the
head of the Senate branch of the inquiry
This created some friction, as some felt
that the first place should have gone to
Mr.. Mcmillan, chairman of the Senate Dis
trict committee. AS a result of the con-
troversy ensuing Mr.. Harris made public
statement, declining to take the chair
marship or any other place on the COM
mittee. In the meantime Vice President
Stevenson Fad gone to Cape May, and
thence to his home, and no successor to
Mr.. Harris has been named. AS the mat
ter stands. the declination of the Tennessee
Senator was unofficial and did not reach
the Vice President, so that the latter has
not, it is stated, felt called upon to act
At the same time, Mr.. Harris has taken
no steps to call together his associates on
the committee. In view of this cond:t ton
Mr.. Harris says he will write the Vice
President and apprise him of the situa ton
In order that the inquiry may not lapse
through misunderstanding.

CASHIER BARNARD'S SUICIDE.
Took LaEdanum Before He Hanged
Himself.

ROME, n. Y, July lit now transpires
that the rope found about the neck of
George Barnard, late cashier of the Fort
Stanwix Bank, was not alcne the agency
that caused his death at the time he wreck
ed the bank last January. Mr.. Hunting
ton, the representative of Receiver Griffin,
who has charge of things at the bank,
went to the little room where Barnard S
body was found, in search of a book or
some papers, and there, behind pile uf
old books, he found a bottle labeled laud-
anum, containing only a few drops of that
deadly poison. On the label was the name
OF the druggist, J. c. Bssell, from whose
store the poison was purchased, and who
afterward stated 70 Mr.. Huntington that
the bottle of laudanum was purchased at
his store by Barnard. Mr.. Bissell SAYS
that he sold the poison to Barnard day
OF two before he committed suicide
The theory advanced Is that Mr. Barnard
used the rope SO as to mako death a GER
tainty should the laudanum not prove
fatal; that after taking the poison he soon
became unconscious and fell backward the
rope frightened about his neck, This would
seem to be correct theory, for when the
body was found there was traces of froth
at the mouth.
The reason no trace Of laudanum was
found before is that nc autopsy was held
by the coroner. AS the rope was found
around the neck by Coroner Mock he nat
urally supposed that to be the cause of
death without further investigation

THE ST. LOUIS CONVENTIONS
Strong Probability of Bolt From the Popu.
list Party.
The "LonE Haired' Men Will NOmf-
nate One of Their Own Kind
Silveritcs to Indorse Bryan.

The situation in relation to the conven-
tons to be held In st. Louis on the 22d is
much more complicated than it Is common
ly understood to be. There IS strong
probability that a bolt will occur in the
populist convention.
The present indications are that the sill
yer convention will indorse Bryan and the
money plank Of the platform. The popu-
lists will probably do the same thing, but
It is by no means as certain; and If they
do, it is almost certain that there will be a
bolt. A considerable element of the popu-
lists call themselves f-the-road
men, and insist that an Independent popu-
list ticket shall be put in the field. The
present Indications are that the middle
of-the-road" men will be in the minority,
ard that the convention will be captured
for Bryan. The feeling is so intense, how
ever, that the anti-Bryan people are hard
ly expected to submit These are the rad
ical, or .long-hared' populists, and will
probably insist on putting one of their own
kind in the field as a presidential candi-
date. even If they have TO hold still another
rump convention to do so.
sibley to Withdraw.
The silver convention is a distinct organi-
zation, though the Bryan populists may
join them before the meeting is over. They
heduy nave ludOe iiieBuidI
AT meeting in Washington, at which the
silver party organization was formed and
arrangements made to get up a national
convention, Sibley was nominated provi-
sionally. Mr.. Sibiey announced at the time
that he would withdraw if another silver
candidate were regularly nominated by tne
OF the old parties, and 1t Is now the pur-
pose OF the leaders who brought about Sib-
ley's provisional nomination to Withdraw
him and indorse Bryan. The chances are
that within a day two there will be a
formal Endorsement .'f Bryan by the silver
republican leaders, though it may not be
possible to secure harmony of action.
The outlook is that there will lie a row in
the popalist convention; that there will be
a direct Endorsement of Bryan by the Teller
people and by the silver party convention,
and that some Of the populists will name a
new ticket

the start about the 1st of August. and the
first of the drills Will probably take place

although not far distant from the coast is
