Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
th at the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improve the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried il as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.

We are informed that the 1898 AL
manac OF Prof. III r. Hicks is now
ready, and judging from its past his
tory, it will not be many weeks in
finding its way into homes aud offices
all over America. 1t is much larger
and finer than any previous issue. 1t
contains IIo pages, is splendidly
printed and illustrated on fine book
paper, having the finest portrait ever
given of Prot, Hicks. 1t can no long
er be denied that the publications of
Prof. Hicks have become a necessity
to the family and commercial life Of
this country. His journal "Word
and Works." aside from its storm,
weather and astronomical features,
has taken rank with the best literary,
scientific and family magazines of the
age. Do not believe hearsay and re-
ports. See the Hicks Almanac and
paper for yourself. You will then
know why they are SO popular. They
are educators of the millions, and un +.
rivaled safeguards to property and
human life. 1t it matter of simple
record that Prof. Hicks has foretold
for many years ali great storms, floods,
drouths and tornadoes, even the recent
terrible drouth over all the country.

CHARGES AGAINST EASTON

GOVERNOR WOODRUFF INVESTI-

Albany, July (SpeciaD.-Governor Black ana
Lieutenant Governor Woodruff considered for
several hours to-day the charges against fred-
erick Easton Superintendent OF Buildings
Speaker O'Grady, the third Trustee OF Pubic
Buildings. was absent, however, and no concur
sion was reached by the Governor and Lieu
tenant-Governor as to the truth or fasity OF the
charges-at least no conclusion which they were
willing to give to the public. Mr.. OGrady teie-
graphed that he was detained by law case In
Rochester and that he would endeavor to be
here Tomorrow when the charges will be con-
sdered further
Mr.. Woodruff indicated tonight by what he
said about the charges that he would vote 10
dismiss them, and therefore In favor OF retain
ing Easton at the head Of the Department OF
Buildings. What he said was this;
THE Trustees Of the Capitol have had very
thorough examination made OF Mr. Eastons
books l suggested an appraisal of the furniture
bought by him, and the Governor and the
Speaker agreed to the proposition The ap-
prasers were from the leading furniture dealers
of New-York and Brooklyn. Mr.. Easton has
been charged with extravaganza In buying this
furniture Two or three questions must be con-
sidered. however. in dealing with the matter OF
extravaganza Was the furniture appropriate
for a costly and magnificent building? was X
worth what was paid for It? Was there any
exaggeration Of the bills? l think every one
will concede that the furniture Is appropriate FOR
the Capitol. The appraisers report that market
rates paid for it, They say that the bills
were not exaggerated, and the State was not
defrauded, therefore. Then there Is the ques-
ton of the over-employment Of men on the
Capitol. 1t is conceded that too many men were
employed. That was discovered by the present
Trustees Of Public Buildings. and the force was
largely reduced. 1t is evident, nevertheless that
there some drawbacks to the reduction OF
the force at work the Capitol. Papabiy
there are too few elevator men. and some OF the

prices for showing people about the building

Mr. Blacks attitude toward Mr.. Easton is Is not
disclosed, and he would not say anything re-
gardng the charges to-day.
''If Mr.. O'Grady arrives here tomorrow" said

ment giving our judgment on the charges
against MIR. Easton."
Mr. Woodruff and the other members OF the
