ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle eiforts-pleasan 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 cond.
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs prompt.
ly removes. That is why il is the only
remedy 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 facilitating 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.
cle, 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

physicians, but if in need of a laxative.

4 NOTABLE DECISION.

Judge Roger A. Pryor of New York, has refused to give the sanction of the Supreme court of that State to the in- corporation of the Hungarian Social club. The purpose of the society was to Inspire love and devotion to the native land" and ito preserve and propagate the Hungarian language and literature" The ground of Judge Pry- ors refusal was, in effect, that 1t is not desirable for naturalized citizens of the United States to organize with the ob- iect of perpetuating their devotion to ed. When @ Hungarian, a German, a Frenchman, an Italian, an Englishman, Irishman or Scotchman, according to Judge Pryor's reasoning, takes upon himself the privileges and obligations of American citizenship his first and only duty as well as his supreme af lection should be for the land of his adoption. His efforts, therefore should be concentrated on making himself an intelligent and patriotic citizen, and not expended in an attempt to preserve his individuality as native of the coun- try with which he is no longer connect ed by ties of citizenship.
 Judge Pryor is right. People who come to this country to stay should be- come American citizens as speedily and thoroughly as possible Of course there can be no objection to their look ing back with love and longing to their native land, and if there were 1t wouldn't have any effect, but little Hungarys, little Germanys, little Ire lands or little Italys should not be set up here.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1896-12-17

$4O,O00 to be divided between the two heirs. As an evidence of the large claims put in and the pairing process to which they were subjected by the judge, the following may be mentioned; One attorney claimed $12,OOO and was allowed S1OO; one notary public, who made the will, asked $25O, got nothing; another notary made a claim for $2,0O0, allowed $250; the undertaken claimed $i,4OS, and got $55O a woman, for ser vices and meals. fought for $1,500, and was awarded S200; one physician claim ed $1,7O3, and was given $6; another physician asked for $1,5OO, but the court considered that there was no evil dence to show that he was entitled to anything; an amanuensis claimed $10,- 900 for alleged services. and he gets nothing, and so on almost throughout the entire list.

up here.

The ti-vaccinationists are not say ing much about the accident" that happened to Gloucester, England, last spring and summer, but those who be- erable to say about it. The full record has been made up and it is an impress i've one It appears that in the ten years from 1886 to 1895, 15,6S2 children were born in Gloucester. Of these, 3,176 died, 2,37s were vaccinated, and the other 1O,12S grew up without any protection from smallpox. This was because the place had become centre of the anti-vaccination craze, and the local authorities had allowed all who chose to violate the law that has made civilized communities safe from epi- denies of smallpox. The result of this was that the total number of vaccina- tions there, which amounted to 1905 in 1886, fell to 472 in 1887, to 14O In 1888, and to 34 in 1894. At last somebody brought the malady to Gloucester That was toward the end of 1895. It attacked about 2,OOO persons, of whom about 400, chiefly young children, died, and 1t was stamped out in little more than two months by systematic and diligent vaccination and revaccination, so that having attacked TIA persons in April, 1896, 1t had wholly disappeared by the end of the following July. In all these months not one vaecinated person took the disease.
 It will be some time before vacclna- tion will be neglected In Gloucester again, and an anti-vaccination society wouldn't flourish there. The people of the place consider themselves we'll off because smallpox has ceased to four ish there.

or continued in the service of the com- pany." The Chicago & Eastern Illinois road prohibits the use at all times of intoxicating liquors and the violation of the rule is a dlschargeable oGfense. The Erie road inquires into, the habits of all applicants for employment, ana no one who is not strictly temperate is hired. The Chesapeake & Ohio road looks after the general conduct of it's employees while off duty, and does not allow them to frequent saloons. For the benefit of the men the road has established several Young Mems Christian association buildings at ter minal points. The most stringent rules possible to adopt are in force on the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern road as to the use of intoxicating liquors by employees" The Chicago, Lake Shore & Eastern road weeds out of It's service all those whom 1t finds indulging in intoxicants at any time" The use of intoXicants is sufficient cause for dismissal from the service of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific road. The Lehigh Valley road not only prohibits the use of Intoxicating liquors by employees while on duty, but tobac- co also on passenger trains and at sta- tions, and smoking in or about the shops. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road not only prohibits the use of intoxicants while on duty, but will not re-employ a man who has been dis missed for intoxication. The Compa- nia Limitada del Ferrocarril Central Mexicano road does not tolerate drinking when on duty or frequenting saloons" and gives preference ito those who do not drink at all"
 Rum and railroading do not go well together and while, as a brakeman said, You can't expect a tenor for s45 a montt," it is not too much to ex- pect or demand that everybody on railroad who has responsibility for the safety of travellers shall be habitually sober.
