Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentlee fforts-pleasante 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
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. 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
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, TO note when You pur-
chase, that y3u 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 syste II is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most shillfui

one should have the best, and with the

A FORMER DECISION.

The Supreme court in passing on that
case, Chief Justice Marshall delivering
the opinion, said: ''Mr. Marbury, then,
since his commission was signed by the
President and sealed by the Secretary Of
State, was appointed; and as the law Gre
ating the office gave the officer a right to
hold for five years, Independent OF the eX-
ecutiye, the appointment was not revoca-
BILE. but vested in the officer legal rights,
which are protected by the laws OF his
country"
The case is attracting much attention
among offlce-holders and applicants for
office. Should the court decide that Par
sons was legally removed by the Presi-
dent, it will mean that Congress cannot
create an office and fix a term of office
which the President cannot disregard.
Should the court hold that Parsons was
illegally removed, then Congress will
have this power. II the Supreme court
decides that under the Constitution the
President has the implied power to re-
move officials the civil service law VIII

The Minnesota Editors Outing.

Frank G. Wolfer, who represented
The MIRROR in the recent excursion
of the Minnesota Editorial Associ-
alton, speaks in the highest terms of
the trip. The party was on one con-
tinual round of pleasure for five days
and six nights, having reached st. Paul
on the return trip at 500 o'clock Satur-
day morning via the editorial special
of the Wisconsin Central Railway.
The pleasant outing was started
from St. Paul on a special over the
Wisconsin Central. At Milwaukee the
the editorial party was provided with
a special steamer for the trip across
Lake Michigan from Milwaukee to
Ludington, thence to Saginaw and De-
troit via special over the Flint and
Pere Marquette road. At all main
points along the route the party re-
ceived an ovation. The Milwaukee
Press Club received the editors in
royal manner, and provided abun-
dainty for their thorough enjoyment
while in the city of many brews.
While in Detroit the editors visited

Remarkable Horse Sense.

An instance of horse intelligence, de-
serving of commentator, was last
night exhibited by the central police
station patrol team.
The horses are trained to come from
their stalls when a call for box is
made.
At niue o'clock a call was made from
box Is, Third and Sibley streets.
Driver Haggerty was in another part
of the barn, but the horses attended to
their duty. Waiting for time ev-
identity considered sufficient for the
driver to respond, they started off,
without waiting for the harness to be
placed Going to the box where the
call had been turned in, Officer Hen
nessey was standing with a plain
drunk in charge. They stopped for
the supposed prisoner, and then made
the trip back to the central station on
a gallop. Keeping the middle of the
streets, a steady jog was kept up until
they were in front of the station. Here
they stopped for the supposed unload
ing of the prisoner.
They were hitched to the wagon and
another trip was made for the prisoner.
Officer Hennessey being found half
way to the station, walking with his
prisoner.
The question as to whether the
horses counted the strokes of the box
and knew where to go, or whether they
merely guessed where they were want
ed will agitate the minds of those most
directly concerned for some time.
1t must at least be considered a re-
markable exhibition of animal intelli-
gence.-St. Paul Dispatch.

A late Geographic news item tells of
remarkable experiment attempted by
youthful prodigy in Pa. Mrs. Geo.
Ruthman, hearing peculiar noise on
the back porch of her residence made
investigation and, to her horror, found
her seven-year-old son attempting to
initiate his baby brother, aged one year,
with bicycle pump. The prodigy had
the baby lying on its back with the
pump inserted in its mouth, he work
ing the handle as hard as he could.
The mother pulled the tube from the
baby's mouth and the air followed like
the exhaust of an airbrake on a rail-
road train. The baby recovered con-
seriousness, and it is thought no i'll eff
fects will result from the novel expert
ment of the seven-year-ol

The pretty habit of distributing flow
ers upon this day is, of itself,
very strong, though mute appeal to
whatever remaining good is in the
most hardened wretch. Flowers are
thoroughly symbolic of the gentler
arts of woman in her efforts to recall
the fallen to ways of moral purity by
those silent symbols of Natures loving
care, the frailest emblems of her YER
nal purity. What under ordinary cir
cumstances could appeal more strongly
to us than the picture of woman
using this subtle power-these flowers,
the emblems of happiness and symbols
of all that is good-as beacon to at
tract us back to the happiness we have
voluntarily forsaken! There is a
strange power in those simple wild
flowers that is deserving of a little
thought as we recollect the past.
We desire, on behalf of the inmates
generally, to thank all the ladies who
were present or took part in the serv-
ices; and we feel confident that their
gentle appeal has had the desired effect
of opening channel of honest intro
spection among many. The result may
not be Immediately visible. but the
seed has certainly fallen in many fer
tile places and the blossoms will be
lovingly cherished.

the famous Belle Isle, st. Clair Flats
and Star Island. One of the visits that
will long be remembered by the frater-
nifty was the trip to the famous distil-
lery of Hiram Walker and Sons on the
Canadian side, but headquarters of
this large concern is practically in De-
troit. While at Vaudeville the visit
ors were shown one building owned
by the concern containing 10000 bar
rels of whisky. Just multiply this
sum by 1887, and you will have an ap-
proximate idea of the number of head
aches it contains for matured drinkers.
Report does not state how many bar
rels the building housed at the con-
clusion of the visit; but we are inclined
to the belief that the editors were sat
isfied with the stimulation as received
OFFICIALLY.
The editors feel jubilant over the
success of the trip and in commenda-
ton of its conduct by G. w. Stanton,
of the Appleton Press, president of the
Minnesota Editorial Association, pre-
sented that gentleman with an elegant
diamond stud. The knights of the
quill also expressed their thanks, in
appropriate resolutions, to the officials
of the Wisconsin Central, and the
Flint & Pere Marquette railroads.

L. A. Wise, who was paroled at the
last meeting of the Board of Managers
and who broke his parole the follow
ing day while en- route to Fergus Falls
where he was to be employed, was re-
captured at Moorhead on Monday
morning and brought back to serve
the full balance of his sentence. It
was very "unwise" act on the part of
a man bearing his name as his parole
would have been completed in thirty
days. Many of the boys would be glad
to serve a thirty-months' parole for the
privilege of getting out to freedom
and chance to earn some money.

At the conclusion of the program
Warden Wolfer explained to the in
mates the object of the day, and told
them to take all the time necessary in
marching from the chapel, so that all
could be presented with bunch of the
flowers the ladies had prepared. Six
of the ladies were stationed at the exit
to the cellroom and handed each in
mate bouquet to which scriptural
texts were attached on white cards
neatly bound.
Mrs. Leonard of st. Paul, who was
the main speaker of the day, is re-
markedly forceful and logical speaker
for woman. Her enunciation is good
and her reasoning simple and attract
i've, being devoid of all unnecessary
rhetorical frills, and flights of lung
power. "Being service inaugurated
and conducted by women" she said,
81 have selected as my text the words
of woman-the words spoken by Ha-
gar, as given in Genesis XVI, 10: "Thou,
God, seest me-" The text was used as
an inspirative guide to the sincerity of
her words as we'll as illustrative of the
strong basic reason influencing the
works of all sincere Christians.
About fifty ladies from St. Paul,
Minneapolis and Saltwater branches
of the w. G. T. U. were present on the
rostrum. That these ladies are thor
oughly sincere in their efforts for the
moral improvement and uplifting of
fallen humanity not even the most
pessimistic or hardened pantheist can
doubt. And they are certainly deserv.
ing of the sincere cooperation of all
who take the slightest interest in the
welfare of society in general

milliOnaires and other entertaining ct
ceteras of the auriferous Klondike;
but now comes the grand piece de
resistance, the KlOndike woman. She
bids fair to Guido all the hifaluting
tlub-drubbery of the now passe "new-
woman species. She is strictly in the
golden maelstrom from newsy point
of view and the enterprising Sunday
papers will keep her prominently be-
fore the reading public until something
of greater interest takes the board.
The prison will be represented at
the State Fair to be held next month
at the fair grounds midway between
St. Paul and Minneapolis. Warden
Wolfer has been assigned space in
which the exhibit will consist of speci-
mems of binder Irvine and rope in the
various stages of manufacture. Also
full display of the different articles
of educational apparatus manufac-
tured here. Such exhibit should be
very attractive to all taxpayers of the
state as demonstrating the excellent
work of the prison, especially when it
is known that the present system does
not in any way conflict with inter.
ests of free labor in the state.
Mrs. DIR. Mary McMath of st.

subscriber of The MIRROR outside of

fraternity admires with hearty appre-
ciation-a really model subscriber.
Never yet has it been necessary to ap-
prise her of the date of expiration of
subscription. What peace and good
will would dwell in the hearts of
publishers if all readers Of the press
would follow her bright example. May
the lady prosper, may her fame for
thoughtful punctuality be the heritage
of coming generations is our honest
wish.
