Bismarck's FavOrite SPOT.

One strange result of Bismarck
death has been the stimulus that il has
given to lottery speculation in Vienna.
Never since the terrible catastrophe at
the Ring theater have the Offices been
crowded by SO many thousands of SUI
perstitious spectators. The age of the
departed statesman S4 - was, of
course. the favorite number but il soon
became impossible to get even the frac-
ton of a ticket. All the factors and
multiples of the number were next
bought up with eager interest, and
there was run on every other figure
even remotely connected with the
hero's life. Many serious gamblers de-
spise these arithmetical condolences
and follow the handbooks which assign
numbers to incidents and character
istics. One old woman entered an Of
flee and besought the clerk to tell her
what figures represented 'Reichskanz-
ler." The compilers of the mystic lists
had omitted this important word

The EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF figs

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP co.
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIa SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the lame of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of it's remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and

LOST HIS ARM
FOR APPLES.
Doctors at the Delaware
Hospital Amputate the
Soldiers Arm.

Private Michael Gersimer, Of Company
4, Of tho Second Pennsylvania Regiment
who was shot yesterday near Contreville
had his right arm amputaed between the
elbow and shoulder at tho Delaware Hos
pital. George Walker, the farmer in whose
hands the gun wa, when tho soldier was
shot, Is under 81, 900 to answer the charge
Of attempted murder
Walker was locked up at tho city hall
last night and in conversation said that
about9 o'clock yesterday morning eight
soldiers passed his place and went towards
the Spring Hill Brewery, which Is about
mile beyond Walkers.
They came back about 10 80 and Walker
saya, went through the orchard clubbing
trees and knocking down apples. With his
gun in bis hand no told them to get on and
they loft tho orch ard After that, Walker
says, no fired shot into the air. Then
about five of tho soldiers returned aud,
coming up to him. first dared him to shoot
and when he said he would not tried to
take the gun from him.
IL WAS tucu, uCCOIulhE w Vheso
the weapon went off, but no declares that
no did not know any ono was shot The
soldiers throw him down and beat him, he
says. and took his gun from him and went
away This was apparently for reinforce
mcnts, for while afterwards crowd Of
soldiers appeared, which no estimated at
fifty. He promptly took refuge in his
house, locking tho door. With al axe
from the wood pile they broke down tho
door and searching for Walker, found him
up stairs Then, he says they threw him
down stairs, He offered 10 g ear up his
horse and drive to camp, but they said he
must accompany them, which he did.
Colonel Porter OF tho second Regiment
noticed men leaving the camp and sent tho
provost guard after the soldiers. They
met So Of the men and Walker In their
midst. They had threatened to hang
Walker but the provost guard preserved
the law. When Monchanin was reached
the soldiers were placed In the guard house.
Walker was handed over to the custody Of
Constable Windish.
When Walker arrived at the City Hall
he had large lump on his head ms the Of
fects of blow from stone. His back Is
also severely bruised where the soldiers
dragged him over lot Of stones.
He was taken before Magistrate Daley
this morning and held in $1,000 bail to ap.
pcar on August Is. BY that time tho in
ju"cd soldier will BIO able to leave the hos
pital to attend the hearing.
Thomas J. Stirling became his bonds
man. Walter II. Hayes has been rel aimed
by Walker to defend him. Tho officers Of
tho Regiment will fully investigate the
caso and they are also anxious that the
civil authorities shall also take cogn!zancc
of the soldiers conduct, What charges
Walker will make against them has not
yet been stated
Walker Is prominent farmer in that
section and. commands the respect of all
hi, noighbors. This was shown last night
when eight of his Leighbors called at diff
erent times at the city hall and were will
ing to go on his bond for any amount.
The young follow who lost his arm Is
about 20 years Of age He is weak today
on account of the amount Of blood lost.

Golf has invaded the realm Of jewel
ry. Some OF the presents that would
be most acceptable to men and women
who play golf have designs Of golf
clubs upon them. Gold and silver
clubs are used as stick-pins, miniature
bundles Of clubs crossed somewhat af-
ter the fashion Of rifles on soldiers
cap as brooches. and a small putter
clasp pin is just the thing for the white
puff tie. Match safes, cigarette cases,
link cuff buttons. tankards and loving
cups, silver-backed brushes and silver
topped tobacco jars, all with golf de-
signs upon them In relief, are coming
more and more to be part of the GENTLE
mems outfit. For the women there are
dainty silver score-caw frames, chain
belts, purses, small cups. silk belts with
silver buckles ornamented with golflng
paraphernalia. As prizes in local and
inter-club matches these convenient
articles are finding much favor.

Removal of Signs.

have been in business on Market street
for the past thirty years. l stepped out
in front of my store his morning and look.
ing up and down tho street. 1t seemed to
me as though the merchants had all gone
into their stores and pulled all their signs
in after them. The street seemed dad.
Even canvas signs have been ordered from
the awnings upon the curb, although they
can do no harm to anything. There can
be no objection to removing hanging signs
over the pavement, but tho idea Of remoy-
Ing Il wooden or canvas sign from the
awning rails over the curb which obstructs
nothing seems very unwise.
see some signs that were taken from
over the curb and put up over the doors,
which arc not near as secure us they were
when fastened upon tho awning rails over
the curbs. This action looks like II one
man power against the people. The city
wants all the money it can get from the
merchants Yet they are being deprived OF
making it. Since my signs have been re-
moved, / havo no pace for one, except
one over tho top Of the door. Lot the mer-
chants Of the city got up IL petition and see
if wu can't get some privileges upon the
