THE EXCFLLFNCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS


is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the are 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, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

PROTECT GREEN GOODS MEN.

New York, March 1s.-Grave charges
were made today before the Gledhill AS
sembly Investigating committee in Jersey
City today. County Superintendent
Christopher H. Smith was accused of ac-
oepting bribes from green goods men
when he was the Superintendent of the
Jersey City police. Evidence of bribery
was heard against Chief of Police Gala
han of Harrison and Sheriff Heller
charged with criminal conduct in connec-
tion with the Monte Carlo gambling re-
sort in Weehawken. Accusations of dis
honesty were made against subordinate
officials
Edward B. Thomas, a colored man,
formerly valet and messenger for J. w.
McNally, the green goods king, was the
chief witness against Smith. According
to the testimony which he gave before the
committee a score or more of writing
rooms'' and reception rooms,' were
established in Jersey City and with the
assistance of the police authorities and a
number of flake" policemen an extensive
business was conducted for some years.
He swore that he paid to Police Superin-
tendent Smith an average of $l75 to $3.50
q week; sometimes the amounts reached
as high as $1,000 to $.7OO. In return for
this the green goods men received protec

DOES IT MEAN AN ICE TRUsTs

Richmond. March 1S.-There is a well

Haynes & Dewitt Ice company have sold
their. ice houses at Iceboro to the Com
solfdated Ice company of Philadelphia.
These houses have capacity of 10000
tons, there being none better built,
equipped or located on the river. The
sale is also said to include the property,
at Nahumkeag where there are houses
with a capacity of 1900 tons. The
price paid is rsputed to be $4,000
Hon. j. Manchester Haynes, Horace R.
Sturgis and Geo. Lawrence of Augusta,
are the I. leading owners in the Haynes
& Dewitt company. Mr.. Charles Morse
of Bath and New York, is one of the
heavy owners in the Consolidated Ice
company mentioned above, as well rs in
the Consolidated Ice company of New
York, which now owns and controls ice
houses on the Kennebec with capacity
of some 10000 tons. The sale of the
Dewitt property may be but another
step in the scheme of consolidation
which has been adopted by the leading
ice opera tors.

Few men in this country who have
lived to "clear the eight-barred gate
which not many come in sight of, and
fewer go over" have enjoyed more of the
blessings of long, active, well-spent life
than Patrick A. Donahoe, the founder of
the Boston Pilot.
In every city, village and hamlet
throughout the several States and Terri
tories of the Union, where the Irish
American people have settled. the name
of Patrick Donahoe Is spoken with re-
speot, admiration and affection.
More than half century ago Mr.. DOna-
hoe established the Pilot. In 1870 he en-
gagged John Boyle O'Reilly, who was it's
brilliant editor for twenty years.
To every good cause and to every char
ity he has been generous subscriber
Scarcely Catholic church in New Eng
land that has not been a recipient of his
bounty.
Mr.. Donahoe is now eighty-six.
The following open letter. sent to Wells,
Richardson & Co., is, in fact, addressed
to the thousands of friends all over the
land, in whose hearts and homes Patrick
Donahoe has found SO large place.
