Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal 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 notdue to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipatcd 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 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. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most Sllillful
physicians, but if in need of 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

With an Indian Warrior.

The first of the new figures of actual
warrior types was commenced several DAYS
ago. The subject who posed for this fac
simile was Mate-wa-nak- TAXA alias Kick
ing Bear, the fighting chief Of the Ogal-
lala Sioux.
While in this city, attending to some
business of his tribe, he was frequently
met by Ethnologist Mooney, who persuad-
ed him to have his form perpetuated in
plaster. Before going to the modeler's
studio he posed before ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Dinwiddie who took his front, back and
profile views. He assumed the attitude of
a hunter preparing to kill large grizzly
bear He was given a picture OF grizzly
to look upon, and the fierce expression
which he put on was amusing to the
artists. He was dressed In his proudest
costume. His fighting paint was a solid
green, covering the face, with the excep-
ton of two broad, red lines an inch i'm
diameter, dotted with large, white blotches
extending from the eyes and meeting un-
der the chin The part in his hair was
painted bright vermillion. About his
neck he wore a necklace Of fifty SCALP
locks, all of which he had cut from the
heads of victims, both red and white
Since this chief covered his body in
gaudy array 1t was necessary to make
casts merely of his face and limbs The
portions of his anatomy to be hidden with
attire will be built upon a wooden skele-
ton, filled out with excelsior and covered
with buriap. rms VIII be shaped, how
ever, by careful measurement. In taking
his molds all went smoothly until the quilts
were to be placed in his nostrils and the
plaster smeared over his physiognomy. At
this point Kicking Bear justified his name
He suspected that he was being enticed
into an execution place, rather than a
studio. Not until the modeler had perform
ed the feat. of taking a face mask upon
boy did the great chief exercise the
bravery indicated by his scalp locks When
the face mold was taken off it contained
the greater part Of his cosmetics.

Consul Chancellor writes from Havre,
April is, 1896: Il inclose herewith a sta e-

new and unexpected application of the

Messrs. Girard and Bordas has given an
account OF their researches in this direc-
Ton at recent sitting of the Academy of
Sciences, and If their statements on the
subject are TO be accepted without reserve
1t would appear that many of the extraor-

and the contents of an ordinary Internal
machine decided without risk. The ex-

HOT SHOT.
Appiauded, but the Union Would Not
 Endorse Him.

HAVERHILL, Mass, Aug. John McLuckle. ex-burgess of Homestead Pa., spoke before the Central Labor union here, his effort being to agitate the bringing of an indictment against the Carnegie company of Homestead for furnishing the United States gov ernment with defective armor plates for warships. He was very bitter in his utterances. He stated that he was not doing his work for the love of country, but for revenge. He said: ''In 1892 the men at Homestead had 300 Winchester rifles; now they have $500, and they are ready to use them if occasion requires In the late war the north compelled the seeding states to return to the Union by force of arms, and in like manner the la- Dor unions ought to compel workmen out of work to come in, by shot and shell, shooting them down in case they do not come in, so that the capitalists cannot use them. The government investigation of the armor frauds was hung up in the senate, through the efforts of Senator Quay, Carnegie's tool"
 The speaker was frequently ap- plauded, but the union did not vote to endorse his sentiments.

The List of the Dead and

Many Bodies Unidentified Many Injured Unknown.
Arms and Legs to Which No BtTerl Have Been Found-The Entire

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., August l. Forty-seven dead and forty-three in jured. These are the figures of the appalling disaster in Meadows Thurs day evening. Of these forty have been identified. Three of the unidenti- fled were men and three women. An odd one consists of an arm to which no body has been found.
 The official list of the dead is as fol- lows.
 P. s. Murphy, Millville; J. D. John son, Bridgeton; Charles D. Burroughs, Bridgeton; c. B. Taylor, P. H. Gold smith, Bridgeton Samuel Thorn, bag gagemaster of the Reading train, At lantic City; D.

Mrs. Hattie Loper, Bridgeton; Nance Cheney, Bridgetou; unknown woman unknown boy; Miza May, Bridgeton William Sparkling, Philadelphia; FL mer, Wentzel, Bridgeton; Henry Hughes, Brjdgeton; unknown woman Mrs. Mary Friaz, Bridgeton; Mrs. J D. Bateman, Bridgeton; William Prick. cit, Bridgeton; Jos. Cheney; unknown man; Samuel Thorne, Atlantic City Chas P. McGill, Bridgeton; unknowI woman; unidentified arm; unknowf woman.
 Of the injured it is more than prob able that four or five will die. Many others are injured only superfcially.
 The impression prevails that tht dead engineer was responsible for tht disaster. There is no dispute that the signal 'Go Ahead" was given west O the Jersey excursion train, and if st the danger signal must necessarily have been given at the Reading tracl by the automatic arrangement. Tn, theory is that Farr did not slow up an( could not stop in time when he say the West Jersey train approaching The cOroners inquest will begin a 10:30 Monday morning.

To- day the executive committee of the striking Brown hOisting men and la bor leaders of the union met in confer ence and decided that a sympathetic strike was necessary.

These men have voluntarily bound them selves to obey the mandates of the Central Labor union, which consists of chosen representatives from the different unions-

PECK SAYS IT WAS FIXED SeWall to Give Way to
 Watson. Good Faith Leaves But One
 Course Open.
The Democratic Party Will Commit the Unpardonable Sin If Sewall
 Is Not Withdrawn.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 1.-W. A. Peck, who ran flor governor on the Populist ticket i'm 1892, and headed the Georgia delegation at St. Louis, made the following statement to the Atlanta Journal today:
 "Conyers, Ga, Aug. 1. ''To Atlanta Journal:
 Tt was understood with Democrats that if the POpulists would nominate Bryan for president and a southern Populist for vice-president, Sewall would retire from the race, or in oth- CT words, he CSewalD would be taken down and our candidate for vice-pres- ident should be placed on the ticket with Bryan. With thfs understanding Watson was unanimously nominated, every state in the Union supporting him except South Carolina, and it was not represented. This was the broad ground on which Democrats and Pop ulists met Having been deceived by promises we made it certain on our part, reversed the order of business and nominated the Wfce-president first.
 Senator Jones, the chairman of the National Democratic committee, was there, together with many prominent Democrats from different parts of the United States, urging thds course for the success of financial reform
 We did not endorse Bryan, but made our platform and nominated him then for president by over two thirds vote. MT. Watson's nomina- tion was greeted with as long and loud outbursts of enthusiasm as was MT. Bryan's, and I beg leave to say now there is but one course to pursue, viz: the Watson electors must be put up by the Democratic party from Maine to California It would be a lack of fidelity to ask or do otherwise in the south. In Georgia it would be an unpardonable sin, and unfaithful- ness on the part of the Democratic ] party, and the people will hold them directly responsible for the result. | (signed} WILLIAM L. PECK
