A HUSBANDS RIGHTS.
The Point That Judge johnson Will
Have to Decide.

Judge Johnson yesterday heard evil
dence in matters affecting the estate of
Layina Jones, deceased. Some years
ago the deceased and her husband sep
arated, and an agreement was drawn
up and signed in which each relin-
quished all claims on the other. of what
ever kind.
Mrs. Jones died the past year without
making will. She had some property
ana desired to make certain bequests
but died before her attorney had the
will prepared.
Now the husband shows up with pe-
tition for the distribution of the prop
erty. He holds that the agreement re-
ferred to does not debar him from OBJ
tanning husbands rights against his
wife's estate
The case was argued and taken under
advisement.

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle eefforts-pleasantef 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
remedy with millions Of families, and lis
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
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the 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, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. IT
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sklllful
physicians, but if in need of a 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.

/ was appalled, by the frightful knowl-
edge of poisons possessed by the poor
est laborers in the mountainous dis
tricts of Northern Italy. They know of
poisons-chiefiy obtained from vegeta-
bles-which kill instantly and leave no
trace, and of others, still more danger
GUS which do not act in a week, or
even a month. but which kill surely
within year.
The recipes for these poisons are
handed down from father to son as
precious family heirlooms. and woe be-
tide anyone who incurs the resentment
of a holder of one of these formulas.
No post -mortem examination reveals a
trece of any poison, the effects usually
being TO produce the symptoms of some
ordinary disease.
Although the constituents of these
poisons are kept vigorously secret. II is
probable that the ptomaines enter
LARGELY into their composition. Tue
science of toxicology is probably the
least advanced OF all branches OF
chemical knowledge to-day. The pro-
fessioaal chemist knows less about the
most deadly poisons than many an I'M

superior to that of the civilized scien-
fist. The deadly poisons used by the
natives of Western Africa are prob
ably similar to those of the Italian
peasants. and the latter are certainly
the same as those which have given
to the Borgias and the Remini of 18th
century Italy such infamy.
I'm those days death was conveyed
in a glove or a flower. Cesar Borgia
alone is said to have murdered hun
dreds of persons in this way, while his
father and his sister. Lucretia, were
equally skillful in the practice of this
CHASTITY art
Among the italian inhabitants of
New York are hundreds of persons who
possess this knowledge. Students and
professor of chemitry ought certainly
10 investigate the subject as fully as
possible in order to be able to deal with
the question properly. The America
of to-day may see revival Of crime
equal to that of Italy and France OF

through the soft places without getting
mired, whereas l could run along most
OF the logs without breaking through.
As IL was. l was all torn up as far as
clothing went. Fawcett now came

fired three times out of my carbine.
Well. we found that every shot fired
had taken effect some way or other-10
altogether. and all except Gerard's two.
which were buried in his back. at very
short range. My five 45-caliber pistol
balls were distributed about his chest
and neck. and plenty deep enough. too:
and besides the brain shot. my two
heavy army bullets were embedded in
his lungs.
AS he lay there. before we skinned
him, he looked the grand old fellow he
was. You may bet your bottom dollar

1t appears that the proprietor OF a
