/ A story About Ineersoll,


Here is an entirely new story about
the late Colonel Ingersoll, which is
quite as good and fully as genuine as
the usual run of them:
When Ingersoll was a young man he
went into a short-order restaurant in
Peoria and called for an egg. II
"You are an agnostic, l think?" said
the waiter, who was a college student
in the winter, and had just associated
himself with the restaurant business.
"Your habit of thinking has not be-
trayed you this time-I am" replied
Ingersoll.
"Then you do not have faith in the
integrity of this egg?" quoth the
waiter.
II have no faith in it's int-egg- rity,''
replied Bob. II have no faith in any
thing. I believe only in what I see,
or in what is proved to me-"
II have faith in the egg," said the
student, and he regarded the colonel
with sad eyes. "My faith tells me that
it contains a yolk."
"My doubt admits nothing of the
kind" said the agnostic.
So the student broke the egg, and,
10! it contained chicken!
But the fact is the agnostic took an
unfair advantage of the student.
He had eaten at that restaurant be-

Baltimore, October 12.-Should the
present rate of increase in the net earn
ings of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
continue, almost the entire interest
charges and the rentals for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1900, will have been
earned by December 81, 1899. This was
foreshadowed to-day when the net earn
ings for September were made public.
The estimated gross receipts were b.

history of the company, and an increase
of $216,597 over September, 1898. The

Of this well-known excellent laxative
were first made known to the world
through the medical journals and news
papers Of the United States; and is one
of the distinct achievements of the press.
i is now well known that Syrup OF Figs

yet pleasant to the taste and acceptable
to the system, and not only prompt in its

from any unpleasant after-effects. 1t is
frequently referred to as the remedy Of

who enjoy good health and who live well
and feel well and are well informed on
all subjects generally, including laxatives.
In order to get It's beneficial effects, it is
necessary to get the genuine Syrup Of

1t has always been known that constipa.

the way Of treating 1t has changed.
The old way was to make up sickening

colocynth-the larger the bullet the better
and after the patient had swallowed the

turned the liver inside out, he was settled
for a few days-fequently forever.
The most dangerous medicine Of all
was the mercurial pill-poison which lodged

RUTHERFORD ESCAPES JAIL.
COURT DISSOLVED CONTEMPT OR
DER AGAINST HIM.

Telephone Manager VIII Not Have
to Produce Books, and Give the
Information Called fOr-Charged
That the Proceeding Was Backed
by the Bell Telephone PeOple-He
Did Not Have the Information
Called for.
Atlanta, July 31-Manager John B.
Rutherford of the Atlanta Standard Tele-
phone Company VIII not have TO so to jail
for contempt OF court in refusing to an
sNer certain questions ana produce books
demanded last Saturday.
In a proceeding before Judge j. II.
LumpNn the court announced that Mana
ger Rutherford would be given until to-
day TO answer the questions asked, and 10
produce the books and records in the case,
and in the event Of mis- failure and refus-
a. TO be taken into custody by the sheriff
ana confined in the county jail until ne
pu-s,d himself Of contempt.
The defense took the position that the
matter did not lie within the jurisdiction
of the court, and That the books and in
formation desired by Commissioner D. o.
smith. which were refused by Manager
Rutherford were not in his possession, but
in the custody and control of the corpora
ton.
The argument to-day was that the re-
fusal Of Manager Rutherford was made
because of his inability to answer the
questions asked and to produce the books
ana records desired. Attorney Rountree
argued this question to the satisfaction
of the court and an order was directed
dismisssing the attachment and ordering
the movants in the case to pay the costs
of the proceeding,
In the argument this morning the declar-
alton was made that the effort to secure
the books and Information was because
there was desire upon the part Of the
Southern Bell Telephone Company to Sc
cure information about the Standard
financial standing, and that the questions
and records did not pertain TO the issue
involved.
Under the ruling of me court this morn
ing Manager Rutherford will not have to
answer the questions asked nor will he be
compelled to bring the books and records
showing the financial condition OF the
Standard Telephone Company into court.
