Gladness Comes

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 constipated condi-
tion 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 debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's 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 skillful
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
,Ased and gives most general satisfaction.

Whereas, The knoll AT ClaremOnt is already occu.

chosen with rel, renee TO its sole occupancy and to
secure for II the effect OF isolation; and
Whereas. Any monument erected upon this Same
enlinence and designed without reference to the ex-
isting monument would impair the effect and would.
on the. most important Views, have the effect OF inter.
Herence and competition to the mutual injury Of
both works.
Whereas, 1t 10 unjust to the competitors who have
prepared designs for a ! monument TO be erected upon
the Plaza at Central Park that the site should be
changed TO one or entirely different character and
requirements without giving them an opportunity to
prepare designs with reference TO tho new site; and
Whereas, The erection OF the Soldiers and Sailors
Monument after the design prepared and accepted
eociety. achieve the best result that can reasonably
be expected from American talent and skin In the
combination OF architecture and sculpture. nor be In
furtheranco OF a rational and comprehensive scheme
for the embellishments OF the city;
Resolved, That the President Of the National sculp-
sure Society be requested TO refuse HIS approval to
tho erection OF the accepted design for the Soldiers
ana Sailors Monument upon the proposed site.
The committee then decided, upon the sug-
gestion or Recorder Con. to take no further ac-
tion In regard to the erection OF the monument
and to pass the consideration OF the whole sub
ministration. A resolution was also adopted
asking the Board OF Estimate TO pay to each of
the unsuccessful competitors for the honor of
designing the monument the sum of $400.

There were $40 arrests, lot persons injured on
tho structure, 40 runaways, 90 cases Of illness
and one death. In closing their report tho trus-
tees have this to say In regard to the bridge
rapid transit schemes:
1T seems proper to state that any litigation
which needlessly delays or prevents the bridge
authorities from acting under the provisions Of
the law permitting the trustees to make con-
tracts with both the elevated and surface rail-
road companies to cross the bridge will unfor-
t%unately retard what is regarded as Q great pub.
lie Improvement, viz, the actual physical con-
solidation Of the railrJad systems Of the two
cities, which, when accomplished, will permit
passengers to reach their destination without
changing cars to cross the brf 1ge and for q
hut that the broad idea adopted by the present
Board Of Trustees of doing away with terminal
stations for all bridges in Greater New York Is
progressive and correct. The public can best
be served and the interest Of the enlarged city
most surely enhanced by making the present
oughfare without passenger tolls. All future
structures placed across the East River should
be mere combinations of streets, and that is un-
doubtedly what they will be, unless constructed
for a special purpose. such as the contemplated
all:railroad and bicycle bridge. which cannot be

Ratio or Saloons to Inhabitants In tho Cities
and Rural Districts.


ALBANY. Dec. 2s.-The average number of
drinking saloons, including hotels, saloons, and
clubs. in the State TO each 1000 population is
3.5; in the rural districts, 80; in the forty.
one cities Of the State, 4.5; in the cities of the
first class, 40; cities of the second class, 4;
cities Of tho third class, 4.5. These averages are
shown In a table prepared by Excise Commits
sioner Lyman. Long Island City shows the high.
est average. 81, and jamestown the lowest, 2.6.
In the State at large there Is ono saloon to
every 2s5 inhabitants, while in the State out
side Of the cities there is ono saloon to every
367 Inhabitants. Under the provisions Of the
Raines law over one,fourth Of all the !: town
ships of the State are absolutely dry" allow
ing no liquor to be sold, even on a physicians
prescription. while nearly, go per cent. have al.
such towns have provided for tho convenience
of travellers by allowing liquor to be sold at
hotels.
Another interesting fact brought ont by
this table Is tho apparent effect Of q higher
license on the ratio of saloons TO inhabitants.
An increase Of 1900 in the cost of O license
seems to effect the reduc ion of fve-tonths of
one saloon. per 1000 people. not q very largo
reduction for such an increase, but interesting
as showing the tendency Of q higher license fee.
