Gladness Comes

\fIith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante forts
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-
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. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that tits the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on 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
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 a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

Bullish Feeling Ascendant in the Stock
Exchange, Yesterday.


New York. Feb. 24.-When business
was resumed at the stock exchange
this morning the bullish feeling was in
the ascendant. The operators for
rise ignored the fractional declines re-
ported from London and were inclined
to take a more favorable view of the
situation, especially as the st. Paul
statement for the third week of Feb
ruary showed an increase in earnings
as compared with last year, and as it
was announced that the orders for steel
rails had reached such proportions that
the Pennsylvania Steel Works were re-
fusing new orders at anything less than
500 per ton.

vorably influenced for time by the
annual report submitted to the stock
holders at their meeting to-day. The
shorts became nervous because of their
inability to force out stocks held by
weak hands, and they, too, started in
to buy, with the result of stimulating
the rise.
The upward movement was checked
during the afternoon by the introduce
ton in the senate of the resolution de-

gave speculate a chill, as it was i'm
mediately suggested by the bears that
the resolution in question meant a fresh

Cuban situation.

that Professor Parker has kindly con-

on a level of the classical oratorium,
