An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIa 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. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its 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 SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

Louis Ferdinand street. This club was
founded only five years ago and at
first saw many vicissitudes, but the
kaiser's marked interest in military
sports and encouragement of such en-
terprises has done much to make the
club a success.
Its membership is drawn almost en-
tirely from court circles, offering, as
it does, an interesting vacation from
staid court functions. The introduce
tion of the ladies is the latest i'm
provement of the club arrangements.
Here they come frequently to practice
with the foils, especially in the morn
ings, when the men are not around.
Some of the members of the gentler
six have become experts at fencing.
which is not nearly so easy as it APP
pears, and find that their health is
greatly improved by the good eXer-
else which it affords. The teachers are
highly pleased with the progress of
their lady pupils, and say that many
of them will soon be able to hold their
own with some of the male members
of the club.
The privileges are, of course, extend
ed to none but the wives and daughters
of members of this club and as it is q
most exclusive organization, none but
the leaders of art and fashion are adj
mitted.. The walls of the fencing hall
are hung with rapiers and swords Of
various kinds. with fencing masks and
the other paraphernalia necessary or
the sport. W.
Lockers are provided for the men and
women. in which they keep their fight
ing Clothes" the apartment and ladies'
dressing rooms being, of course, separ-
ate from the mems. None but ladies'
are admitted during the morning hours
when they are practicing, but the num-
Der of ladies who have taken up this
sport is growing rapidly from day to
day. They retain their presence of
mind and GOODNESS to a surprising de-
gree, even going so far as to make a
few modest bets of pounds Of candy or
boxes of gloves on who will make the
first touch"
The best of the fencers are always
surrounded by ring of admiring spec
tators, watching their 1.-THE and grace
full movements or trying to learn some
of their tricks of fence. The rage for
fencing, which has started among the
higher circles of the Prussian capital,
is already spreading among the middle
class, and there is promise that many
similar clubs will he started there, some
of them exclusively by and for women,
SO that they need not confine their
hours of exercise to those when the men
do not care to use the hall.

Dutch Housekeeper Most Capable of
Women.
No housekeeper of America can ap-
proach the woman of Holland in domes-
tic capability. At least this IS the dis
concerning testimony of an ntelligently
observant traveller.
1.-The Dutch housewife" says Albert D.
Vandam. has not her equal in the world
as manager. She is first Of all the abso-
lutte mistress Of her home There are no
implicit reservations as to the Kitchen
She goes into 1t every day, and at any
hour of the day, and the cook who OBJ
iects is likely to be dismissed for her
pains. In that respect, at any rate, SER
wants appear to be more tractable in Hol-
land than with us. And such kitchens
they are! For l was asked and taken into
three, and each time my visit to them
happened to be about an hour before din
ner. In each case the family to be pro-
vided for was fairly numerous-in one
case 1t consisted of a round dozen per-
sons the youngest of whom was only 10.
The dinner hour is between 6 and $50
o'clock, for even in those well-to-do fam
lilies the so-called luncheon is somewhat
in the nature of a high tea the Sou

not always.

The conventional dresser with the con-
ventional dinner and breakfast service
were not there, instead of which an array
of saucepans stra.ners, colanders and the

es were inclosed in cupboards. the shelves

cloths, trimmed with lace l dazzlingly
white. l asked how often~Shese had to

I'm London these shelf cloths would be
downright grimy before half the time had
expired, and 7 am not likely to forget in
all these and possible future remarks that
the Dutch atmosphere fights and makes
for cleanliness and that our English cli-
mate does the reverse. l will go still
further and say that the Dutch servant,
having something to show for the elbow
grease she has expended, is prouder of
her performance than the English one:
yet all this does not account for the COM
parattve cleanliness of our homes and the
superlative cleanliness of the Dutch
homes

A Busy Meeting of the County Conn
missioners Held.
Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Boulder. Dec S.-The county com
missioners, in session this week, besides
regular quarterly business, have let
three contracts for the year beginning
Jan. l, 1900. Two bids We're received for
the care and maintenance of the county
poor, one from Monroe punks at $2.75
per capita per week and one from Jo-
seph Potts at $3.50; the latter was ac-
cepted. This rate seems low and prob
ably is lower than in most counties of
the state, but the successful bidder has
the use of the farm, which is owned by
the county, and that, of course, enters
into the consideration. For medical at
tendance to the county poor there were
two bids. one from DR.. Leighton, the
other from DR.. Vawter, both at $50 per
month; the latter was accepted. For
county printing all the newspapers in
the county put in bids and the prices
are very low, probably lower than any
where else in the state, and instead of
being a source of profit to the publisher,
will hardly be more than a "stand-Off,"
but the glory of being county printer is
something. In fact, all of the bids were
too low, but the publishers deserve no
commiseration, as it is their own fault.
The bid of the Boulder Age was 80 per
cent discount from statute rates on all
advertising, and So per cent. discount
from statute rates on book and job
work. The Basin Progress bid was In
discounts as follows: Eighty-five per
cent off on advertising, As on plain rec
ord books and books with one heading,
SIS on books with full printed page and
SIS on legal blanks. The Whitehall
Zephyr offered So off on publications,
so off on plain record books, As off on
books with printed heading. 55 off on
blanks and books with full printed
pages. The Boulder Sentiners bid was
a discount of from So to 55 per cent. on
book work, 60 per cent. discount on JOB
printing and 95 per cent. discount on
advertising. The contract was award
ed to the last named.

The third and fourth acts of the sec
ond part of king Henry H. were read
at the regular weekly meeting of the
West Side Shakespeare club, which met
with Mrs. Charles Jackman on Copper
street. Much interest was manifested
in the characters of Prince Hal and
Falstaff. which We're discussed at
length, all of the members taking part.
The following questions, prepared by
the president Mrs. Jacllman, were an
swered by the different members:
/. Is the character of Prince Hal true
to history?
2. Were there any religious disturb
ances during the reign of King
Henry "?
8. Were the Percys and Doug
lasses friends or foes?
A short discussion on current events
was followed by roll call and quota
lions, after which the club adjourned,

County Without a Railroad

Fulton county is notable for being
the only one in Pennsylvania that con-
tains no railroad. Yet that county was
founded in 1850 and is populated by a
thrifty and intelligent class of people.
Only two newspapers, the Republican
and Democrat have represented the
respective principles since the erection
of Fulton county.

The period for the payment of taxes
expired Saturday and the books of the
treasurer show that nearly all the tax
payers have come forward with their
proportion of the money necessary to
run the county government. The total
amount of taxes due was $95, 1922, and
of that amount SS7 ,423.55 had been paid
in when the books closed Saturday
night, leaving S7,S1567 delinquent. Be-
sides this there are taxes on the real
estate of c. S. Hefferlin. amounting to
$1,37S.22; the realty of ]. A. Danforth,
amounting to s454.71; the taxes of j. A.
Murray on the springs at Hunters.
amounting to $2S5.20, and that OF
Thompson Bros. on the Albemarle ho-
tel. which figure UP $1033.20. These
taxes are in litigation and will not be
paid until the supreme court passes
upon the question. For the general
school fund there is S13,13591 to be APP
portioned among the different districts,
as against something over $4,000 last
year. Only seven taxpayers refused to
pay the special school tax.

The MAJoRITYS WILL.

T does not seem to have occurred to the burns
Lnta that it has always beep lett to majority TO
saw whether there shall be a not. Yet
that is everywhere the usage. In other words, in
stead OF the caucus ruling the majority the majority
nrecedes the caucus and decides whether it will not
invoke the caucus as an instrument OF its will.
Every time Burns has tried to get caucus this ma
iory has wthstood and defeated him. Is it not time
that he subjected his will and surrendered his ambi
ton to the often expressed will of the majority? The
majority has decided repeatedly against caucus and
in Joint convention it has nearly hundred times de-
cded against his aspiration be Senator. In every
possible way the party by its majority in the Legs-
lature has decided against Burns candidacy and
against his schemes for making it successful.
This has been done because the party sees its de-
struction in his success and the majority should
defend the life of the party that high duty has been
performed in opposing him and should be to the end.
The party is entirely satisfied with the conduct OF
its majority 1t appauds, approves and will stand by
that majority which has wisely decided that party in
terests do not require caucus.
Mr. Burns is the boIter. He maintains a chronic
bolt from the decision OF the majority. Had he not
been a boter he would have closed his headquarters
and gone about his business long ago. Only de-
fant and unustifable ambition which hopes to -four
ish over the ruin of the party has kept him at Sacra
mento and made the contest scandalous. Cancel the
boters cast out those who DEFY the majority, and the
State can have worthy Senator and the party can
have salvation without further delay.
The San Francisco call., 1899-03-09

East can be accounted for only upon the theory tha
the public mind of that section is subject to an I'M
mense delusion British capitalists can afford to sena
their capital abroad because they manufacture at nome
all the raw material produced there, and, indeed d
great deal that produced there, but America mas
not yet reached that stage by long way
Why should send out our capital to manulac-
turc raw material in other lands when we do not
manufacture what we produce in our own country?
We are sending large quantities of raw trult to
Europe and importing large quantities OF fruit pre-
serves and confectons of all kinds. Why should we
not work up at home fruit to its highest form
and ship it in that shape to Europe? Why, IN tact,
should we export any kind of material II we
have capital enough to manufacture it all?
That there is gut of money in the Eastern centers
is not be denied since all authorities there agree
upon that point. The country around Boston, New
York and Philadelphia, however, not the whole OF
the United States by any means There abundant
opportunities for the profitable investment OF capital
over the whole vast region lying west OF the Mssis-
sppi and south of the Potomac If the Eastern peo-
pie could recover from their deuson and things
they are they would perceive at that there are
larger opportunities open for capital in any one OF our
Pacific States than there in Venezuela, and that
it would be better for to manufacture our own raw
material before we go abroad to work on that OF
other folks.
The San Francisco call., 1899-03-09
THE PRACTICAL VIEW,

THAT Ingleside as now conducted is doomed is
a circumstance which seems to excite no ex-
1 preston OF regret AS business proposition
Ingesde is bad for everybody but the propretors 1t
is a constant drain the community, and for that
which it absorbs makes return.
1t is true that racing puts money into circulation
in certain channels, but adds nothing the wealth
OF the community. The money it stimulates is merely
taken from legitimate channels and diverted to a
course always ending in the pocket OF the speculator
whether owner or bookmaker. There is no advantage
in this no impetus given to business industry pro-
noted
The money which Inglesde attracts comes from
poor people, for the most part. They earn it by
labor and then instead OF paying the butcher and the
grocer and the landlord they wager it a speed con-
test which may have all been settled before the horses
lett the post They lose their own money, and in
desperation take money that does not belong to them
This they also lose but the money has been put into
circulation" That it would have truly have been in
circulation if devoted to legitimate purposes is fact
the touts ignore.
Business men would be glad to see racing re-
strcted and rather than go at the rotous and
ruinous pace which now marks it would be glad see
grass growing on the track. They have suffered
much Their employees have been led into embezzle-
ment and other forms of crime. This can be said
Cf men and women It even be said of boys. A
spirit of disrust has arisen, and so strong is the
prejudice against the Ingleside institution that
workman resorting there habitualy can retain good
standing. He causes himself, whether justly or not
to be suspected, and as matter OF protection his
employer watches him.
Racing, if honest and periodical rather than
tinuous, would not be Objectionable. Racing which
depends for its support upon the dollars OF the de-
luded poor has nothing to commend it, and the
sooner abolished the better.
