Gladness Comes

A|ith 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 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, 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 Gu 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
al 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 have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
leed andgives most general satisfaction.

SWINDLED A LOCAL FIRM.
w. III. Armstrong & Co. Has a Man Ar
rested at Knoxville.

W. H. Armstrong of 1913 North Delaware
street, is in Knoxville, Tenn, trying to re-
cover valuable consignment of surgical in
struments belonging to w. H. Armstrong
& Co. One DIR. r. F. Young, claiming to be
a resident of Virginia, is under arrest at
Knoxville for fraudulent appropriation Of
the instruments, valued at about $1,000.
Some months ago Young wrote w. H.
Armstrong & Co. for employment as a
travelling salesman. Good references were
given and the man was assigned territory in
Virginia, North Carolina and other South
ern States. He was not very successful as
a travelling salesman, and in a few weeks
was directed to return the samples the
firm had sent him. No response to this or
der was received and for several months
the firm was unable to ascertain anything
as to his whereabouts. Last Wednesday
Mr.. Armstrong went to Cincinnati to at
tend 3 meeting of the q. A. r. After he
firm from a concern in Boston, Mass, in
dicating that Young was in Knoxville. He
had evidently applied to the Boston firm
for employment, using his former connec-
ton with Armstrong & Co. as a proof of
his qualification. Authorities at Knoxville
were communicated with and a detective
was sent to watch Young. Mr.. Armstrong
was telephoned to at Cincinnati and instead
of coming. home he left that city for Knox
willie Friday evening, where he arrived
arrested. Meantime physician of that city
had written the firm here that Young had
pawned some of the instruments and had
sold others at a remarkably low price in
never in Indianapolis nothing is known here
as to his family and antecedents

BURGLARS AT IRVlNGTON
HOUSES OF TWO MINISTER'S THOR.
OUGHLY RANSACKED.
At One House Robbers Took Every.
thing but a Bath-Extent
of Losses.

Burglars have again turned their atten-
ton to -&rvington. Saturday night two
houses were broken into and ransacked.
Both residences, singular to say, were oc-
cupied by ministers of the gospel. In the
case of each robbery the family was away
from home. One of the houses entered by
the burglars was that of Rev. Lawrence
Jones, superannuated Methodist preacher.
The house was occupied by Mr.. Jones and
his wife until few weeks ago, when they
went to Knoxville, Tenn, for the winter,
leaving their house unoccupied. The house
is on University avenue. The burglars
forced an entrance by using Jimmy at
a dining-room window. The sideboard was
stripped of everything save a few of the
less valuable articles. The closets and cup
boards were ransacked and clothing and
bedclothing taken. Every drawer of every
piece of furniture in the house was pulled
out and emptied of it's contents. In the up
stairs bedrooms the mattresses were
twisted out of their places by the robbers
in their search for money. Trunks and
boxes were broken into and papers and
books thrown in every direction until the
house looked as if cyclone had struck 1t.
Even the clock and kitchen range were
opened and searched.
The other robbery was that of Samuel J.
Tomlinson's new residence, on Ritter ave-
nue.. Mr.. Tomlinson is engaged in a pro-
tracted meeting at Staunton, Ind, and his
family was in Indianapolis last night. This
house was treated in a manner similar TO
the Jones house. The robbers took a little
of everything but bath. Suits of clothing,
bedclothing, cutlery, a shotgun and gold
watch chains are now missing. Things are
in such condition that it cannot yet be
house a lamp was found burning at clock
this morning with very little oil burned out,
so it is thought the robbery was committed
in the early morning hours.
The residence of James H. Banning, on
University avenue, was entered last
Wednesday night between 1880 and 1890
o'clock. Here the burglars entered by the
same means used in the other robberies.
They obtained about $S5 worth of ''swag."
Mrs. Banning lost a gold watch and chain,
a diamond ring, several gold rings and some
bracelets. The thieves picked out the solid
silverware and left the plated ware behind.
1t has been only a week or so since Mrs.
Dickman's house was robbed and Smiths
grocery store broken into at two different
times, and about $3.50 worth of goods taken.

DEATH OF A NAVAL VETERAN
John l.. Robins Found i'm a Room at
the Princeton.

\ John T.. Robins, aged fifty-five years,
bookkeeper for Dalton & Merrifield, lumber
dealers of this city, died suddenly yesterday
afternoon at the Princeton Hotel, on South
Illinois street. An autopsy, held last night,
showed that death was caused by an acute
attack of congestion of the lungs, coupled
with heart trouble. Mr.. Robins went to
the Princeton Hotel about o'clock yester-
day morning. 1t was apparent that he had
been drinking, and he seemed to be suffer-
ing greatly. About 2 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon DIR. Crosse was called in to see him,
and after remaining an hour left the pa
tient, who seemed much better. Shortly
before O'Clock DR.. Crosse was again sum-
moned to the Princeton, but when he ar
rived the patient was dead.
Mr.. Robins had for some time been living
at the Charlemont Hotel, on North Illinois
street. His relatives say he had been suf-
fering from congestion of the lungs. Mr..
Robins served for fifteen years in the
United States navy. During the war he
was masters mate on board the frigate
Brandywine, and with his ship was in the
near neighborhood of the fight between the
Monitor and the Merrimac. He served
with the North Atlantic squadron, and was
at one time in service aboard the flagship
Powhatan. He had been in the employ of
Dalton & Merrifield for nearly twenty
years. MI. Robins was unmarried The re-
mains will probably be taken to Winches-
ter. Va, for burial.
MT. RODlnS Is kIOWH 10 nave ndu n large
sum of money in his possession Saturday
evening. Some time during the evening his
brother-in-law gave him about 5000. He al
ready had about the same amount in his
pockets Yesterday it was found that only
$13O remained of the $500 he is supposed to
have had the night before. Two women
who were with him during his illness part of
the day took receipt from the hotel people
for the $3.50 and Mr.. Robins's watch and
diamonds. These women declined to give
their names, and neither the physician who
attended the sick man nor the hotel people
knew them.

Mr.. HANNA'S RETURN.
Preparation for the Monetary Con-
ventiOn Next Month.

Mr.. II. II. Hanna, chairman of the none
tary executive committee, returned yester-
day from Washington, where he had been
in attendance upon the final meeting of the
monetary commission and the meeting of
the executive committee that was held in
conjunction with it. The commission con-
cluded it's labors on Friday and it's report
will be ready for publication about JAM 8,
as soon as the secretaries have put it into
shape. The monetary convention will re-
assemble in this city Jan. %. Mr.. Hanna
win probably ask the local committees that
ofticiated last January to meet him to-mor-
row afternoon to discuss the local arrange
ments for the convention.
IT feel greatly encouraged over the out
look said Mr.. Hanna last evening. 1.-THE
plan agreed upon by the commission is, 1
believe, the most satisfactory solution of
the question that has been presented and
I am confident that it viii commend itself
to the conservative business sense of the
country. The purpose of reassembling the
convention is in line with the resolutions
adopted by ii last year that it should be
called together to receive the report of the
commission The three hundred delegates
and the business communities they rep
resent will have nearly a month to dis
cuss and digest the plan prepared by the
commission and will. l believe, be able to
cordially indOrse it as a safe and gradual
method of unlfying and strengthening our
''Tvhe situation at Washington is more
gratifying than / hoped to find it after
reading the dispatches upon the reassem-
ties of observation during my stay there
and the rate at which the sentiment in
favor of sound currency legislation is gain
ing ground in both houses leads me to hope
Tor satisfactory action at this session.

POLICE STOP THE SKATING.
Ice at Garfield Park Lake Was Too
Thin.

Young men, young women; boys and girls
found their first skating yesterday but it
did not last for long, owing to police inter-
ference. The streams about the city did not
freeze up, but the lake at Garfield Park
was coated. Here the sport was fine for
a few hours during the morning, but the
ice was thin and dangerous A thousand
boys and girls were there during the morn
ing hours and there were several narrow
escapes from drowning or ducking, but none
of the skaters happened to get into the
breaks The report went abroad that there
was good skating there, and every car for
two hours after the noon hour was loaded
to the guards with skaters The police
were notified of the danger of the situation,
and at O'Clock Sergeant Lowe and Captain
Dawson went out to the park and ordered
all the skaters off. They left two patrol
thicker
Yesterday morning many children en-
joyed keen sport at Broad Cut, on the
canal and on the old Butsch pond. The ice
at Broad Cut was thin however, and there
was no skating there in the afternoon.
There was but little water in the pond and
but few skaters were there in the after
noon.
An accident at Garfield Park married the
first days skating for one young woman,
who struck a thin sheet of ice near the dam.
In an instant there was an ominouS crack
ing and before she could escape she was
in water up to her waist Willing hands
sisted her to the custodian's house. After
the first excitement was over the incident
was amusing topic for those who had
not shared her predicament.

Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.

Persons who mail Christmas packages
are not always careful to see that they
are fully prepaid. Such packages are re-
turned to the sender If his name appears
on the package; if not, they go to the dead
letter Office. In either case they are de-
is made has made it a practice for several
years to deposit sum of money with the
Boston postmaster to pay the short postage
on Christmas packages. Last year he spent
500 in making up this deficiency, which
shows that a great deal of carelessness pre-
walls among Christmas present senders.
There is no postal Santa Claus at the Pitts
burg postoffice. and the regulations regard
ing packages insufficiently prepaid must be
cbeyed to the letter. The matter is referred
to here for the purpose of warming mailers
of Christmas packages what will become OF
them if they are not prepaid IN fuil; Three
rules should be observed by those who send
packages by mail: Wrap them well; write
the name and address of the sender in one
corner: have them weighed at the post
office and see that stamps representing the
full amount of postage are placed thereon.

scattered seeds and grain, but could not

starved, but the famine will carry off other
birds that subsist similar kinds of food.
