Proceedings Interrunted

The proceedings in the Head case were interrupted late yesterday afternoon by the announcement that the jury trying the murder case of Manic Richardson was ready to report.
 The foreman reported the following ver- dict as agreed upon by the jury:
 We, the jury, find the defendant guilty of manslaughter in the second degree and assess her punishment at years in the penitentiary."
 The prisoner, who had sat during the en- tire day with an exceedingly downcast look upon her face, seemed to brighten as the verdict was announced. She smiled as the deputy accompanied her back to the county jail.
 It will be remembered this woman killed another negro woman by the name of Frances Moore on Decatur street last Au- gust. The two were engaged in an affray at the time when the Richardson woman inflicted wounds with knife from which the Moore woman subsequently, died.
 The court is engaged in the Head murder trial today. It will probably continue sew eral days.

 The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the CALIFORNIA Flo SYRUP Co.,, illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxa- tive principles of plants known to be incidentally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa- tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and levers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub- stance, and it's acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative.
 In the process of manufacturing figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by a method known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co. only.

Cuba After a Year of Peace.

The Cuban Industrial Relief Fund,
of rs Tribune Building, New York
City, has issued for free distribution
an illustrated booklet entitled "Cuba a
Year After Peace" The illustrations
are direct reproductions photographs
taken by William Howard, General
Manager of the Fund, during the
months ofAugust and September, 1899
They show that there is still in Cuba Il
vast amount of sickness, suffering and
starvation. Not one of Mr.. Howard's S
pictures was taken in hospital All
represent the condition of the Cuban
poor as they are after the island has
been at peace for more than year; as
f1oated over them for ten months.
The survivors of the reconcentrados
still live in the Wretched huts into
which they were crowded at the time
of the infamous Weyler concentration
order. Utterly without work oxen,
farming tools, or seeds, with which to
resume the cultivation of their devas-
tated farms, they have rem aimed in the
towns and cities without means of sup
port and without hope for the future.
Our own Government has done
nothing to restore these impoverished
Cuban farmers to their former homes.
1t has not provided SO much as one
farmer with oxen or tools or seeds.
The Cuban Industrial Relief Fund
has in successful operation at Ceiba
Mocha, twelve miles west of Matanzas,
two relief farms, on which employment
is given to the poor. Nearly 800 per-
sons are supported by the work done
on these two farms. The managers of
the Fund earnestly desire to extend
the good work to other parts of Cuba.
Contributions Of money to enable
them to do so should be sent to the
Continental Trust Company, 80 Broad
street, New York City.
