With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle cfforts-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 constippted 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. tits therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you 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 slSillfpl
physicians, but if in need of q laxative,
lsthen 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.

FIRE ISLAND LIGHT.

light piercing the darkness has been to
millions of wearied immigrants anxious
ly watching for the first sight of their
expected Canaan, their promised land,
where the old world expressions, the
heartburnings and hunger and toll of
the monarchical regime would give
place to a new life in the land of free
dom! How they have hailed its radi-
ance as the emblem of their new start!
It's rays, flashing in one glad streak
upon the waters far out to sea, have
been watched with delight by Ameri-
cans returning from abroad, who have
greeted it with the exultant song of:
This Is My Own, My Native Land"
What boon it has been also to the
storm-tossed mariner seeking safe
haven from the storm.
Again, what comfort has filled the
hearts of those waiting and hoping
against hope, perchAnce, for friends on
long-overdue vessels when the tele-
graph sped the tidings; 1.-THE steamer
City of - passed Fire island light, in
ward bound, at : p. m. All safe on
board"
The song-writer who sang 1.-THE
Lighthouse by the Sea-" and Bright
Star of Hope" may well have had Fire
island light in mind when he penned
the lines.

The main building of Mount Hol
yoke colleg was destroyed by fire ear;
ly Sunday evening, together with the
two wings and gymnasium. The loss
will probably amount to S2OO,0Oo
fully insured.
The fire started under the gymnasl-
UNI, probably in the drying room con-
nected with the laundry, and spread
rapidly to the rest of the building
The fire was discovered about 4.45 o.
clock and it took until after 3 o'clock
to destroy the building. There was no
adequate fire protection about the
building and assistance was called from
Holyoke and northampton. Three
steamers were sent from Holyoke and
one from Northampton, but as the wa
ter had to be pumped a quarter OF Q
mile it offered no check to the flames.
Much of the furniture and contents {
the building, including large part OF
the students property, was saved anc
no one was injured, as far as learned
Mrs. Mead, the president of the col
lege, was overcome by the excitement
Almost all of the students were render
ed homeless and were given quarters il
South Hadley. Some went to Holyok
and others to Springfield.

week against the Employers Liability
Assurance corporation to Mrs. Helen
B. Clark, widow of Barna A. Clark,
one of the most prominent men of Brat
tleboro, who was found dead by the
roadside near his team about year a
go. Mr.. Clark carried accident in
surance policies to the amount of S26,'
900. The question was whether or not
he was killed by being thrown from
his wagon, and the corporation refused
to settle, claiming that death was due
to apoplexy.

The George Fred Williams de-
mocracy of Massachusetts, had high
old time, Saturday. The state con-
vention was called to meet that day
at Music Hall, Boston. On Friday
night Bryan occupied the hall and at
the conclusion of his meeting, acting
under the advice of George Fred, a
large number of the delegates re-
NAMED, keeping possession of the
hall through the night. This was
done for fear that the state commit
tee, that is tinctured with the gold
cure, might play some trick on the
Williams or silverite party. The hall
had been let to the state committee
for Saturday. AS the committee
could not get possession ii did the
next best thing with its property,
locked it up and with the aid of the
police prevented all corners, includ-
ing George Fred, from entering.
Here was quandary as large num-
Der of the delegates were outside.
The redoubtable George Fred was
equal TO the occasion. He managed
to talk to those inside through o
grated window and following his ad
vice the insiders organized conven'
ton, nominating Williams and his
ticket. The outsiders then organized
a convention and ratified what thu
insiders had done.
In the mean time the state commit
tee went to Faneuil hill, called thu
convention in regular order and nom
mated the same ticket. The populls
convention, in session the same day
also nominated Williams, making fou
of them, the Music hallites, the street
ties, the Faneuil hallites and the pop
ulists. The tug of war will nov
come as to which will be the regula
state committee, the Music hall an'
the Faneuil hall conventions naming
different sets. This will probably b
settled by legal process.
Great is popocrazy ! and George
Fred Williams is shining prophet.
tt will be safe now to set dowr
Massachusetts plurality for Mckln
ley at 100000.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, rs they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that
is BY constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets Unframed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
FORMAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition of the mucous sur

was largely due to his efforts that GER
tain amendments were made in the cleo

an end to the frauds which so long pre-

The blank ballot law of 1898 was one of
the results of the agitation which was

cuted throughout the state.

Mich, continues to attract the atten-

Gardner, who is miner, lives near
the mine where he is employed. The
child has developed an uncomfortable
appetite for iron ore, which she eats
with relish, and in splte of her peculiar
diet is apparently healthy, strong and
bright. The child is now about two
years of age and has been addicted to
the habit ever since she could creep. She
eats particles of ore which she gathers
with her baby fingers from the ground.
When the child has been kept away
from the mine she has been known to
scrape the ore from her fathers boots,
devouring the ferruginous food with

BLACK as the republican candidate for

surprise to great majority of the peo-

outset of the convention, says Leslie's
Weekly, that it's choice would fall in an
other direction. 1t became apparent,
however, to the party leaders that either
one of the selections which seemed the
more probable would be likely to
ALLEVIATE the support of a very large
body of republicans; and as the out
come of this condition new forces as
serted themselves, and Mr.. Black was
chosen as best representing the princi-
pies of that element Of the convention
which, while in sympathy with The So

The only success that candidate Bry-
an has met with in his speech-making
tours was at New Haven, Conn, last
week and this was of no merit OF his
own but came from the demerit of Yale
college students who broke up the

Bryan votes. The whole affair was
shameful and should be condemned by
every good citizen everywhere. This

Bradstreet's of Saturday last said:
In eastern jobbing circles the feeling
is one of increased confidence. There
is more doing in some staple lines, no
ticeably at the East and at a few
southern cities. In most other in
stances purchases continue for immed-
late wants only. There is little ex-
pectation of general revival in bust
ness prior to election. Throughout
the central and north West no material
change is reported in general trade
features.
Improved demand for wool continues,
with upward tendency in prices. The
starting up of iron mills and furnaces
is conspicuous, but makers in some in
stances seem to be anticipating demand.
Easier rates for money at the East are
followed by disposition on the part of
western banks to make loans, but at
many points money markets are charac-
terized by extreme stringency, notably
at some southern cities Collections
generally are difficult to make, the on
ly tendency TO ease being at some pri-
mary markets for wheat and cotton.
The bank clearing gauge of the vol
ume of business brings an expected de-

The decrease this week compared with
the corresponding week in 1895 is IA
per cent.
