YEAR OF SMALL EARNINGS
Although 1t We'll Show q Better
Total

Now that 1896 is fast drawing to a
close railroad men are looking back
over the twelve months to see what
has been gained or lost, and what they
encounter is not the most pleasing in
the world. 1t is now evident that the
year will pass into history as one of
extraordinary small earnings, increased
mileage being taken into consideration.
The year started out with some en-
enlargement, says the Railroad Ca
Zette in a recent issue, and for the first
six months, while many roads had to
report decreases, the aggregate earn
ings were considerably larger than for
the same period in 1895. But with the
coming midsummer and the campaign
excitement business generally decreas-
ed, and, although a little later a large
grain crop began to move, it was less
than in the previous year, and rate
wars cut down the earnings from that
source, so that altogether the fall
months have continued to show fall
ing off, even compared with the unsat-
isfactory results Of last year. Still the
increase gained in the first half of the
year has not been entirely wiped out by
the later losses, and the year as a whole
will show a somewhat better total,
gross and net, than 1895, and 1897 will
open with every promise of great i'm
proVement over many previous years.

NEW CRUISER.
Practice Ship Annapolis Launched
at Elizabeth, N. j.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The gunboat
Annapolis. designed for service as the
practice cruiser of the United States
naval academy at Annapolis, was
launched at Elizabeth at 1890 a. M
The Annapolis is a vessel of entirely
new type, so far as our navy is con-
cerned, in that it is of composite con-
struction, all of the framing being Of
steel, but planks, of Georgia pine be-
ing worked on the frames below the
water o1ine,- secured by composition
bolts in such manner as to prevent
galvanic action, and being then COW
cred with copper. This will make the
vessel largely independent of docking
facilities and economical in the use OF
fuel Another feature which distin-
guishes it from other naval ships is
full use of sail power. It will be bark
entine rugged, and will be able to sail
twelve knots an hour without using
it's engines. 1t is a sister ship to the
Vicksburg and Newport, of LOCO tons
displacement, drawing twelve feet of
water, and is 16S feet long by Sc feet
beam.

NTith 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. 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 facilitating the
organs on which it acts 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cab
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. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but If in need of a laxative,
one should havc the best, and with the
well-infornaed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
