New Lease of Life for the Canal.

The Court Of Appeals Of Maryland
has granted new lease of life to the
Chesapeake & Ohio canal by granting
an extension of the time it may be op-
Grated by the trustees until 1900.
The court afirms the decision of Judge
Stake in 1894 By the decree Of Judge
Alvey the canal was ordered to be
sold, but was placed in the hands Of
the bondholdsrs of 1914 for four years,
and it was decreed that at the eIpira-
ton of the four years the canal be sold,
unless, for good cause shown, the court
should extend the time. At the end
of three years the bondholders Of 1874
applied to Judge Stake for an extern
sion of time, and he in his decision ex-
tended the time for six years, or ten
years altogether.

The baccalaureate sermon was
preached in the Presbyterian Church
Sunday night by Rev. DR. Charles
Ghiselin, the pastor. The large church
was filed, part Of the audience being
obliged to occupy the gallery seats.
The students Of the college were in the
center of the church, the graduating
class occupying the front pews. DR..
Ghiselin text was from the lst chapter
of Daniel, 8th verse: But Daniel
purposed in his heart that he would
not defile himself with the portion Of
the kings meat nor with the wine
which he drank. The speaker in ell
oquent language portrayed the man
illness and high character Of Daniel,
his moral courage and his devotion to
his religion. He brought out with
great force the lessons to be learned
from a study Of the life Of the great
prophet 1t was an earnest, eloquent,
practical address that could not but
cause sober reflection upon the part Of
all who heard it. The choir Of the
church had two appropriate special
selections which were excellently sung.

Tuesday evening Rev. DR.. F. '. \.
Painter, of Roanoke College, Salem,
Va, delivered the address before the
literary societies of the college. He
took for his theme the elements that
make success in life, and as an exam
pie he portrayed the life and charac-
ter of Martin Luther. He held him
up not as the great reformer, or edu-
Gator, or scholar, but as man, and
showed how his never-failing faith,
his love of truth and his unfinching
courage had united to form one of the
grandest heroes and noblest characters
the world has ever known. DR..
Painters address was eloquent and
inspiring, and delivered with an earn
estness and effectiveness that brought
out every point with the greatest
clearness. He was attentlvely listen
ed to by large and intelligent audi
ence.
Mr.. George N. BeltzhOOyer, Jr., pres
ident of the Ciceronian society, prssid-
ed, and his remarks introducing the
speaker were well chosen and well de-
livered. Miss Katie Lucas, on behalf
of the Parthenian Society, presented
DR.. Painter with handsome bouquet
of flowers.

Gladness Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal 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 constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
lv 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. It's beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that 1t is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which il 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 artl-
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
NAV be commended TO the most skillful
physicians. but if in need of 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 satisfaction.

THE CHICIGO CONVENTION


At the session Of the committee on
convention yesterday resolution
was offered by Waterbury
delegate endorsing Ex-Governor Rus
sell of Massachusetts, as a fearless
exponent of democracy. Judge Lynde
Harrison read to the committee let
ter from Governor Russell, in which he
requested that the Connecticut Conven-
ton should not endorse him, taking the
ground that such endorsement might
hamper the action of the delegation at
Chicago and emphasizing the state
ment that the first thing the Chicago
convention should do would be to de-
clare for principle on the money ques-
tion.
Judge Harrison was interviewed on
the subject last evening, especially as
to furnishing a copy of the latter for
publication.
Judge Harrison said: ] am not au-
thorized to give the letter to the press.
1t is partly a personal letter. But / am
authorized to give publicity to Mr..
Russell's views expressed in the letter
All | can say and it is the gist of what
Mr.. Russell authorized me to commun-
cate, is it became necessary, is this:
Mr.. Russell wrote me a letter in the
latter part Of April saying that he de-
sired that the delegates should go I'M
instructed to the Chicago convention,
and that there should be no expression
of preference by the convention because
IS he said, the important question for
C>a Chicago convention to settle was
one of principle in the platform; also
that If the delegates We're hampered
by instructions for an individual it
might injure their influence for sound
money declarat ton, or a gold platform.
lie authorized me to say this publicly
but only if it became necessary. I
read the letter to the committee on res
olutions, and they concurred."
Judge Harrison added that the COM
mittee on resolutions would undoubted-
ly have introduced a resolution in the
convention of preference for ex-G6ver-
nor Russell, if it had not been for this
letter.
