SUED for Commissions.

Joseph IL, Weldon recently brought
smt against the Charles Warner Go. to
recover Sl8792, as alleged to be due
as commissions on a contract. The
case was heard before Referees A. l..
johnson, w. L. Crossley and Philip
Reybod, in Magistrate Kelley's court

that the Warner Co. had made an agree
ment with him that he was TO receive
a commission on cement furnished for
use in building the city filter, and also
that a certain amount was due for re-
bate on empty barrels. The company
contended that Weldon did not get the
contract for the work and that the
cement was furnished by the company
because it was the lowest bidder. Tho
referees decided in favor of the de-

"WoRKISG WIrH orr OWN HANDS"
Boys aud Girls Should be Taught to Earn
Their Own Living.


Their Own Living.
Working with our own hands" was
the text of the Rev. George G. Halls
sermon in st. Johns Church Sunday
afternoon. He said that there was
large class either indifferent or
ashamed to work. Cities and towns
are crowded with country people seek
ing professions. The aim is to get into
business where they shall receive more
than they earn.
Boys, whether their parents are rich
or poor, should gain trade in which
they can make their own livelihood.
Children need to be taught to work
with their hands. Mr.. Hall declared
that there are thousands of helpless
women who have not been taught to
work. They evidently should be taught
to earn their own living. AS the wheel
of fortune turns the wealthy may
become the poor and the poor the
wealthy. Some mothers will pinch in
order to allow their daughters to take
dancing lessons or lessons on the piano
forte, when they should be taught how
to thread needle. Mr. Hall cited the
example of the Toledo High School,
where each girl makes her own gradu-
ating dress. He urged his hearers not
to get above using their hands and told
them that their Master, Christ, by His
working in a carpenter shop had con-
secrated handwork forever.

Normal Condition.
The receivers of the George w. Bush
& Sons Co. have been discharged and
the company is again in a normal shape.
The Delaware receivers, the EQUITABLE

lor Nicholson on February 1st, and the
Pennsylvania receiver, Francis b.
Reeves, vico- president Of the Girard
National Bank of Philadelphia, was
discharged by Judge Thayer in the
common pleas court i'll Philadelphia
on Saturday.
The company went into the hands Of
receivers on March 9th, 1898, but at
that time the assets wore greatly in
excess of tho liabilities and it was ap-
parent that in time the affairs would
be Strengthened out.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.
Views Of the Late Secretary of Stat
Gresham, MS Expressed in Letter Writer
Ia I20A


Views Of the Late Secretary of State
Gresham, MS Expressed in a Letter Written
in 1894.
New York evening Post
The movement in favor Of interna-
tional arbitration, which has recently
started at Chicago, New York and
elsewhere, lends peculiar interest to the
following correspondence with Secre-
tary Gresham, whose lamented death
has removed the seal of confidence, if
any, which-has covered it heretofore: /:
New York, Dec. Gath, 1894. My
Dear Mr.. Gresham: According to my
recollection the Pan American Con
gress, which sat at Washington during
Mr.. Blaine's term of office, pledged its
international arbitration, as substi-
tute for war, but also pledged thom in
dividually to urge those principles
upon the nations of Europe
1t has occurred to me, on the eve Of
this blessed Christmas, when we are
all talking about peace on earth and
good will to men, that the present ad-
ministration might round out its title
to the applause of posterity by taking
some steps to realize tho foregoing
pledge Perhaps such steps have been
already taken.
III the United States and Great Bri-
tain would enter into an agreement to
refer their future differences to arbitra-
tion, in accordance with the spirit of
the Pan American resolution, the ex-
ample would have a great influence on
the other nations of the earth, and the
statesmen who should connect his name
with such treaty would acquire i'm
mortal fame. Why should you not be
that oneY
am aware of the stock objections to
international FILTRATION, but l submit
that the objections to war are far
greater. Embarrassments will arise
after such a treaty shall have been
made, but the persons most embarrassed
will be the jingo party, which we shall
always have among us. Sober minded
people will then be able to take the
initiative when international troubles
arise, and the iingoists will be obliged
to play second fiddle. Pardon this in
trusion, and believe me,
Very sincerely your friend,
Horace White.
Hon. W. Q. Gresham, Secretary Of
State, Washington, ID. G.
Department of State, Washington,
Dec. 3lst, 1894. Horace White. Esq,
New York, N. Y.--My Dear Sir: !
heartily concur in the views expressed
in your letter of the oath inst. / have
had several interviews with the British
Amabassdor upon the subject of con-
vention between the United States and
Great Britain, providing for the arhi-
tration Of any controversies arising be-
tween the two countries. OF course so
years ago England would not have en-
tertained such a proposition, but the
conditions have greatly changed, and |
am not without hope that treaty such
as you favor will be concluded, per-
haps within six months.
Faithfully yours, ~
W, O. Gresham,

Myth 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, 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 tlebilitating the
organs on which it acts. Its therefore
all important, in order TO get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, thatyou have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laXa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slSillful
physicians, hut if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrupof
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most general satisfaction.

And mourn the brother whom she loved SO

Ah no! I'm doomed, and here must remain
A prisoner for life to toll and slave
Till death shall come and break the GAZING

And give me rest. sweet rest within the grave.
Enclosed within these gloomy prison walls
To wear away my life in silent grief:
In vain my very soul for freedom calls.
