invited me into another room, where
he resumed the conversation about
Legislative corruption. He said: "If

Gladness Comes

With a 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
remed, 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 it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
ficial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have tie 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 OF
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may he commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informcd everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

which cured SS per cent of all cases. if
taken in the earlier stages of the dis
ease. The tissues of the lungs being
irritated by the germs and poisons in
the blood circulating through them,
the germs find lodgment there, and
the lungs begin to break down. Soon
the general health begins to fail, and

DIXEY'S MARITAL WOES.
The marital difficulties of Mr.. Henry
E. Dixey are an old story in theatrical
circles, but the memory of them was
revived Yesterday by a rumor that the
popular actor and his wife had decided
to let bygones. be bygones and for the
sake of their children once more take
up the burden of life together.
Mr.. Dixey, when seen last evening at
the Garden theatre where he is play
ing the part of the Lone Fisherman in
..Evangeline' declined to say whether
or not there was any truth in the
rumor. He did not think the public
would be interested in the matter.
Mrs Dixey was equally reticent on the
subject
Mrs Dixey, who was formerly Miss
Ida Glover, a dancer and a sister of
Miss Amelia Glover (Mrs. John Rus
selD, applied for a separation from
her husband in 1890, and was awarded
$50 a week alimony. She subsequently
returned to the stage, but for some
time she has been living in retirement.
Her daughter Evangeline is at school
in the convent at Fort Lee. Her son,
Harry, is being educated in board
ing school.

He was brought to the hospital on
Monday by his friend Frederick Solo

Signor Tomasi came to this country

Tivo's direction went through the
country singing Don Pasuale." Signor

for the Emma Abbott company and
remained in that place for several
years. Later he was employed as con-
ductor of the Duff Opera company

He was recently with the Whitney
