tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to-
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feverS
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

PLAIN MEASURES.

MT. k. H. Clarke in his letter announce ing his candidacy said:
 Tt is greatly to be regretted that re- peated bond issues have been necessary to sustain the credit of the country, but It will be borne in mind that this has been largely due to the refusal by dem ocratic congress to make the same wise provision as ito the terms of bonds as was lately Wade by the democratic legis- lature of Alabama, and to take plain measures to secure permanent relief and financial stability
 MT Clarke appears to have forgotten that the credit of the country was main- .tained by all the secretaries of the treas ury from the period of specie resumption in 1879 down to the present time by pay ing gold or silver at pleasure. Secretary Manning, during MT. Cleveland's first term informed the gold brokers that if they made a run on the treasury he would pay in gold as long as he could and then would pay in silver. That put a stop to all attempts to gut the gold re- serve. The same result would have hap pened in 1893 if MT. Carlisle had not be- come converted to the gold basis.
 MT. Clarke is not historically correct therefore in saying that there was a ne- cessity for repeated bond issues to pre- serve the gold reserve. All other secre- taries preserved it without selling bonds to buy gold Nor is he correct in his as- sertion that the repeated bond issues is largely due to the refusal by a demo- cratic congress" to issue gold bonds. He knows that making the bonds payable in gold would not have stopped the "end- less chain" Possibly it might have made the bonds more salable abroad, but it would not have obviated the necessity for new bond issues when the gold realized l by the former issue had been exhausted | The gist of the above quoted paragraph | of MT. Clarke's letter is in the last two | lines. He regrets that the democratic l congress did not retire the treasury notes | by funding them into bonds. This is | inform us what are the plain meas l to which he refers. In the line of the pol | icy of MT. Cleveland and MT. Carlisle, as | expressed in 1895, and not in the line of | that expressed in 1893, MT. Clarke would I fund the $500,000,000 treasury notes in | bonds and make them the basis of new | national banks. He would make the people pay interest on this new bonded | debt. Great HeaVens, Are We not bur. dened enough with dxbt as it is? Why l cannot we retain the non-interest bear ing greenbacks and conduct the treasury as Secretary Manning did in 1884, and as | all the secretaries before him had done: | The policy advocated by MT. Clarke would put the country upon paper | basis.

The Daughter of Col. w. D. Mann, Formerly Editor of the Mobile Register and
 Now Editor of Town Topics.

DeLand, Fla, Jan. 16.-Mr. Harold R. Vynne and Miss Emma May Mann were welded here today at noon. The bride is the only daughter of Col. William D. Mann. formerly of the famous Michigan brigade of the cavalry corps of the Army of the Potomac. Colonel Mann is we'll known in military and newspaper cir cles. He was once editor and proprietor of the Mobile Register and is now of the Town Topics of New York. Colonel Mann is also famous as the originator of the boudoir car that bears his name.
 The bridegroom, MT. Harold R. Vynne, is son of the late John R. Vynne, Esq., of Carlisle. England, himself well known to the journalistic fraternity of New York and Chicago.
 The ceremony was performed at the Presbyterian church by the Rev. W. H. Gilston, who used the Episcopal ritual. The church was elaborately decorated with palmetto. magnolias and roses and some beautiful designs from Thorley of New York.
 The wedding breakfast was served at Colonel Mann's winter home. south of town. The bridal party arrived at the church promptly at 12 o'clock. The bride and maid of honor, Miss Sophia Hartog of New York, were preceded by Misses Amy and Irma Mann, cousins of the bride, and were met at the altar by
  Knight of New York.
 The brides gown was charming cre- ation of white satin, with train three yards in length. The front of the skirt was of chiffon, garnished with pearl and silver passementerie and made with large puff sleeves. The veil was of tulle, held in place by spray of orange blos- sons. The bride carried a bouquet of lilies of the valley and maiden hair fern.
 The maid of honor and little attend ants wore white mule, with trimmings of pale pink, and large leghorn hats, trim med with pink roses.
 The presents testified to the great per sonal popularity of the bride and her wide circle of friends from all parts of the country, which were very numerous , and costly.
 Among the guests from distance were Dr.. A. B. Isham of Cincinnati, late of the United States army, and Mrs. Isham 1 Major Charles Swift. late of the United States army: Capt. Douglas Hamilton royal navy, and Mir. Gouverneur Morris Of New York.
 l Mir and Mrs. vynne left this afternoon for Tampa. where the honeymoon will | be spent.
