People overlooked the Importance oil
permanently beneficial effects and
were satisfied with transient action;
but now that it is generally known
that Syrup of Figs will permanently
overcome habitual constipation,
well-informed people will not buy
other laxatives, which act for a time
but finally injure the system. Buy
the genuine, made by the California

1t was unjust. and he desired 10 see u
abolished IN every charter where II "a
listed. Many OF the cities OF the State
actually helped 10 keep up the roads lead
\ ing into them. which seemed TO him
more nearly Justice.
Mr.. Letcher offered an amendment pro-
viding that where charter provisions re-
Qured towns 10 keep up roads for GER
tain distance beyond the corporate limits,
these should not be affected by this act.
MIR. Wlckham opposed the bill on the
ground that II would cause confusion and
turmoil throughout the State. as such
provisions existed in such a largo num-
Der OF town charters.
Mr.. Barksdale reiterated his arguments
for his bill, saying that Mr.. Wickham' 8
opposition was not grounded upon valid
reasoning there was no just argument
10 be made for relieving towns OF their
Just burdens.
MIR. Turnbull opposed the bill, saying
that towns needed such provisions In
order TO improve their streets. etc. III
the Senator chose he could make the bill
apply TO towns in his district alone.
MIR. Barksdale again spoke for HIS
measure. Mr.. McIlwaine suggested that
the bill be recommitted. Mr.. Mcllwaine
made this motion. Mr.. Wickham opposed.
saying the bin should be voted down at
once. as II was bad from cuticle to core.
The motion TO recommit was carried by

House of DELEGATES.

The House of Delegates yesterday
passed sixty-one bills, and very nearly
cleared the calendar, but all of them
were of mere local interest. No discus
sion or argument enlivened the proceed
ings, which were quite monotonous.
The body was called to order at noon
by Speaker Ryan,, and Bishop Van de
Vyver offered prayer.
Mr. Saunders Offered q resolution pro-
viding that when the calendar was reach
ed all bills on which a discussion would
ensue should be passed by and those af-
fecting merely local matters he given
their second reading and passed. This
resolution was to apply only to the pres
ent day. Speaker Ryan vacated the
chair, calling upon Mr.. Cooke to preside.
and opposed the resolution. He did not
think the House should consent to have
its hands tied thus early in the session.
Upon the resolution being placed before
the body It was adopted.

E.ade you thing of such a thing? There is
only one kind of heart trouble to which
young girls like you are subject, and
can't prescribe for that
But have such funny feeling when
L am riding in the cable car, DOCTOR" said
the girl. Something seems to stop lust
about where my heart is, and 1 feel so
funny and stuffy, and there is a sort of a
IL mp in my throat. Then 1 feel it for
long time afterward, and it is so uncom-
Portable"
Hurnph," grunted the doctor. After
riding in the cable cars, is it? When do
you ride in them oftenest? Just after
luncheon, isn't it?"
why, yes; 1 guess perhaps do ride lust
after luncheon quite as often as any other
time You see. l am apt to be out to
luncheon and then have to take a car to
get anywhere 1 am going. &"

And there yod sit and watch the wag-

Jump In front of it, ard the women and

that? Yes, l do; and sometimes 1 am so
sure they are going to get run over l just

Yes, and that's what's the matter with

the effect on your nerves of the excitement
OF seeing people run over. 1t is about as
bad for you to think they may be as If
they were.

MARRIAGE MADE EASY.
An Alleged American Industry in
Western Waters.
From London Tit-Bits,

From London Tit-Bits.
To marry you for nothing, and then give
you 50 in gold and a wedding trip is what
an enterprising American steamboat COM
pany has offered to do in order to stimulate
marriage and strengthen its returns. The
steamboat company in question runs boats
regularly during the summer months be-
tween Chicago and Milwaukee on the
shores of Lake Michigan.
This last place is known as ''the town of
easy marriage and it is to this spot the
young men of Chicago take their brides
during the summer months to undergo the
wedding ceremony. Indeed, one minister
in Milwaukee alone, the Rev. w. A. Huns
berger, has earned for himself the title of
the marrying parson," and it is estimated
that for some time past he has united over
1000 couples annually in the bonds of mat
rimony.
The steamboat company has sent ont
over $1,000 invitations to the young men
IN Chicago and the surrounding towns Of
fering to marry them free of cost and also
to provide them with an annual pass for
TWO on any OF their steamers plying he
tween Chicago and Milwaukee. To those
however. who are willing to allow the knot
10 De tied on board there is further in
ducement of a present of s25 given by the
company The invitations are said to be
alluring and persuasive. They are very
Pietlhy got up ana are Illustrated with six
pictures, representing Chicago the steamer
on the lake. Milwaukee, a marriage cere-
mony on the boat steaming under full moon
and, lastly, Chicago again
Many viii no doubt wonder in what wav
the company will benefit by this extraordi-
nary and novel method of increasing their
business. In the first place. 1t is undoubt-
edly the outcome of the fact that at Mil
waukee, in the state of Wisconsin. there is
the absence of license law, which is i'm
posed in Chicago.
Again, local ministers and civil officials
make more from tying couples in holy we'd
lock than they do from their salaries. and
Iasty, ofidai couples are always accom-
panied by numerous friends, who. of conrsa
would pay for their passage, refreshments
and other necessaries. So far the company
is SAID to be receiving acceptances in an
sWer 10 their invitations at the rate of 800
a day, and 1t is expected that hundreds of
couples will be married on the comnenv,s
boats during the season.
