Gladness Comes

With a 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 constipated condi-
ton 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, andis
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
ali 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, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. Ii
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV 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.

BLACKBURN IS GAINING,
Two Sound Money Legislators
Cast Their Ballots for the
Silverite.
Lieutenant Governor Worthington
Asks Hunters Withdrawal
From the Race.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 5.-The vote
for United States Senator in joint assem-
bly, to-day was as follows: Hunter, Sc +;
Blackburn, 81; scattering, 6. Necessary
to choice, 90.
The greatest crowd that has ever at
tended Joint ballot was present in the
Senate chamber this morning. The gal
leries and lobbies were crowded and some
women were present at first, but their
fears got the best of them and they went
away The greatest excitement prevailed
and the crowd was with difficulty pre-
vented from pushing on the floor of the
House.
When the name of Senator Hayward
was called he asked to be allowed to 'ex-
plain his vote. He said he was for
''sound" money, but he was confronted
by peculiar crisis. He was not moved
by threat, but in order to secure the
greatest good for the greatest number he
would vote for Blackburn. This announce
ment was received with great applause.
Senator Hayward has. therefore, voted
for "sound" money Democrat. Senator
Holloway. who has also voted that way,
voted for Blackburn.
The Republicans held a short caucus to-
night at which Lieutenant Governor
Worthington was present. 1t is said that
Worthington, in a speech to the caucus,
asked for Hunters withdrawal from the
race, promising that any other man who
was put up would be elected.
The Democrats also caucused. Senator
Bronston made a speech trying to get
"seund" money men in line for Black
hurn He said If thew won Id vote for h n,
Poore would cast the deciding vote and
elect Blackburn. The caucus was intended
to heal the breach between the "sound''
money men and the Blackburn forces, but
failed to secure this result.

county dependent on the railroad for ship
ping facilities, and driven the hearts OF
the farmers to despair with the tariffs for
freight on their produce.
NC. Swinford Cd is lawyer from
Cynthiana, Harrison County, on Hunting
toms Chesapeake and Ohio road, the East
ern division of his Kentucky system. He
has been engaged in suits against the rail
road in times past, but lately had some
connection with it. How far his election
was due to that influence is hard to say.
Mr.. Swinford is conscientious and able
man and represents one OF the most intel
ligent sections of the State and can be
very surely counted for the right as he
sees it.
w. H. Lyons (R.) is lawyer from New
port, Campbell County. He was elected
from the county district. The Chesapeake
and Ohio has a bridge across the Ohio be-
tween Newport and Cincinnati and aroused
great deal of hostility on the part of the
committee by their course in securing
right of way for approaches, etc. Mr..
Lyons has always been warm in his advo-
cacy of the cause of the people against
monopoly, and it is thought that he will
support the Goebel bill.
The Huntington lobbymen are advised
on all these points and others besides and
are cutting their cloth accordingly. They
will spare no effort to bury that bill in the
committee should it pass the Senate, but
they will find Judge Flippin and most
likely majority of his committee hard to
control or influence.

WASHINGTON, D. G. Feb SIN order
to prevent the series of prize and buH

near Ell Paso, Tex, from being carried out
in the adjoining Territory of New Mexico
a bill was passed, en- motion of Delegate
Catron (R.) of New Mexico forbidding
prize or bull fights in any Territory of the
United States or District of Columbia
under penalty of from one to five years
imprisonment.
Ell PASO, Tex, Feb. 5.-When word
reached Ell Paso to-day that the United
States Congress had taken a hand in the
suppression of prize-fghting and passed a
bill making it felony in the Territorie s
gossip became rife concerning the great
carnival which is to take place near here
within the next two weeks. Dan Stuart,
when asked what effect the bill would have
upon his carnival If it became law, said ::
''None in the least. The English Parlia-
ment may pass similar bill tomorrow
and still the great carnival will go ahead

John j. Taylor of the firm of Look e.
Taylor, who gave Mr.. Stuart his cue upon
which the preparations have been made,
was seen and Mr.. Stuart's statement was
confirmed. If those most interested were
disconnected over the news they concealed
their feelings from those not on the inside.
Mr.. Look is in Chihuahua, and reports
from him are said to be of character to
make the sports feel safe.
Upon the other hand, the Ministers
Union and other parties opposing the
fights are confident that the legislation of
to-day ruins the last chance that Dan
Stuart had of keeping his word. They
claim to have positive assurances that
Governor Ahumada will not, under any
circumstances, allow the fight in his State,
and that the ''neutral-strip" talk is ridicul-
Gus.

From This Country.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. 5.-The next
number of the War Cry, the official organ
OF the Salvation Army, will contain the
following editorial on the recall of Com
mander and Mrs. Ballington Booth:
The lapse of week has given us time
to think over and in some measure COM
prehend the fact that our leaders have
really received orders to leave us for other
helds. Sorrow and regret are naturally
only limited by the boundary lines of the
country. The tender associations, the ex-
perlences OF thousand hard battles fought
ana won during the, past nine years, can
not be severed without pang.
But such are numbered among the
fortunes OF war and accepted as such by
the commander and Mrs. Booth. Their
letter is manly, yet affectionate. 1t will
cause the tears TO flow, yet it Is clear
statement of the situation and contains
many statements which should be en-
graved upon the hearts of our readers,
such as, for instance: We, who have re-
qulred obedience from others are our
selves obeying.' Others may come and
GO; others may live or die, but God lies in
your lives and ours forever and forever
The army is not a man or number of
men; 1t is not regulations or rules; it is
not form or methods, but it is something
far deeper-it is God-given principles -"
This letter was issued yesterday, the
Booths. referring to the attitude of the
Carnegie Hall meeting of Monday night,
thanking their friends for their good will,
but stating that they must obey orders as

A MARYLAND DINNER.
What That Meal Was Like in the Good
Old DAYS.

The following will give the reader who
an ida of what the Maryland Club dinner
as eaten and digested by the members oil
the older and original stock, really is.
We will begin our Maryland dinner with
oysters from Lynnhaven, Virginia-a step
which will surprise those who do not
know that six generations of surveyors
have been unable to indicate the iron tieI
lines between the two States, most prob.
ably because (alack! that this should have
been said before. and in Congress) there
are none. A consomme is then to
be recommended, whereupon the
terrapin in real Maryland style
is ushered in with an air of becoming
solemnity. Upon this mystery follows a
saddle OF mutton from the mountains
which will have chung" for two weeks
and then appears the second mystery oil
the reDast-a wild duck, with celery, and
hominy which has first been boiled and
then fried-the hominy and not the duck
Now do not be obstinate and insist upon
the wild duck being canvasback, if Tom

ing. Your feast should conclude with an
Eastern Shore ham, two years old, and
baked rich claret color, and then coffee,
cigars and liquors, according to your fancy.
The wines with which you may decide
TO discuss your dinner will be very good
wherever your choice may fall, but the
Maryland Club whisky and Madeiras can
not be found elsewhere, and for the latter
you can offer almost any price and get not

trends at court, but luck. The Maryland
Madelras have much in common with the
wines OF Shiraz of which the Persian bard
sang and the Falernian in which Horace
delighted. Your Baltimorean thinks OF
them in the most serious moment of his
LIE, when making his will, and if he leaves
