Gladness Comes

With a better understanding of the
Wv transient nature Of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
fo~rts-gentle e4orts-p!easant 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 a constipated condi.
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
~ removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's 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. It is therefore
eli 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
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
ono should have the best, and with the
w~ell-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Masonic,

A large body of visiting and local
Free Masons participated Thursday
evening i'll the raising of three Moun-
tain Lodge Fellowcrafts to the sublime
degree of Master. Among those pres
ent were the Grand Lecturer, Graham
Dukehart, and Edwin j. Lawyer.
State Fire Marshal and ex- president of
the State Fire Association. At 10a
o'clock nearly 100 sat at the tables of
the Beall Mansion and enjoyed most
elegant and bountiful repast. The
occasion was an unusual one and,
therefore, of exceptional pleasure.
Not the least occasion of the enjoy
ment which ruled the hours at the
Mansion was the delicious music fur
nished by the Mountain City Orchestra,
a combination of seven harmonious
pieces in the hands of as many artistic
performers. Their services, though
gratuitous, were literally rewarded by
tumultuous rounds of applause.
1t was announced that the Grand
Lecturer, Col. Graham Dukehart, will
visit the Royal Arch Chapter, No. 26,
Thursday evening next. 18th inst,
whereat all companions are u,yed to be
present.
Sunday morning, June 21-St.
Johns day, Mountain Lodge will re-
pair in body to the NJ. E. Church for
worship. The Worshipful Master en-
joins all Free Masons to attend in full
dress-black suits, silk hats and white
gloves-gloves and aprons to be fur
nished at the Temple. Rev. T. M.
West, Fellowcraft of nearly 80 years
standing, will conduct the services
and deliver the discourse.

The Homecoming Star finds few in
constituencies IN the JOURNALS last
report. 1t says that
in Its issue of May 30 the JOURNAL
itself directly intimated that the metro.
plitans" manager had permitted the
Homecoming club to win in order to inject
more excitement into future games between
the two clubs, and thus profit by con-
sequent increase in the attendance.
That statement erroneous through
out. The JOURNAL had learned that
the manager had kept Jack out of the
box in order to preserve his strength
for the anticipated game at Bedford,
Pa, few days later, but after about
five innings was at last compelled to
stack him up against the Lonaconings
who were running away with Jack
son. This news came unofficially.
The paper was hardly more than out,
however, before i. was understood
that it was not defeat after all-that
the scorer had enormously given the
game to Homecoming. Here is the
JOURNALS paragraph:
Manager Dillon owes it to himself club and
town to permit no more feints at baseball as
that made at the Park Thursday. There
should be no reservations Of strength for
future games, but each should be played as
though it were the last and decisive test of
strength speed and skill.
The JOURNALS ambition for the
metropolitan club is that it shall win
each game as it comes and let future
games, whether with Bedford or any
other, be taken care of when it is on.
This done, the record as whole will
be all that can be desired. The
''proft" object was not thought of, for
the Park people had nothing to make
out Of a big attendance at Bedford.
Only one other point needs attention.
The Star thinks the JOURNALS descrip-
tive style discouraging to Increased at
tendance" at the Park, etc. This looks
considerably like sneak away from
all the responsibilities of bad be-
haviour. Nobody pays his entrance
fee for the privilege of swagger at
least, the Park people do not sell that
right at so much head.
In conclusion--that the armless
scorer was overborue in time of great
contention is beyond question, and
that this was not done by people who
long ago have learned to synpathize
with him is equally true. He had
served often before and served well,
but Homecoming tone, lingo and GEES
ture were probably too much for HIM.
The Bedford (Pa.) Gazette gives an
excellent account of the visit of the
metropolitans to that town. Itawards
credit to the Frostburgers for fine
playing and gentlemanly conduct.
