OF forecast. and the critics, when recording tho
fact that a bad piece has been cordially re-
ceived. politely question the genuineness OF the
applause. The Daily Netcs maintains thnt at
the Grand Opera In London the olaque still
lourlshes in q perfectly unabashed manner.
1t Is wholly due to the folly Of the artists. At
the commencement OF the season the ~vocallsts
receive letters from nm individual stating that
he has supplied the ciadue to So-and-So. and
will be happy to do so for the newcomer. AS a
rule, the artist accepts the ofror. To this
rule the De Rcszkes are brilliant en-
captions. although many foreign sing
era accept the claquo. which is provided
by tho individual in question at n
fixed sum per night. 1t is In vain the ~vocNlists
have been warned that applause which en-
anates from certain corners OF the gallery and
amphltheatre decelves no one. and even does
harm. The foreigners, who evidently fear
that II they do not pay q claIuc they will prove
failures, prefer to emaino on the safe side.

FIFTH AVENUE CHURCn OFFERINGS.
A Serious Decline Since DIR. John Hall'e

n serious Decline since DR.. John haIi'0
Denth-Appeal by His Son.
The Rev. DIR. Thomas C. Hall. son OF the
late DR.. John Hall, who oflciated atthe morn
ing service at tho Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
Church yesterday made an earnest appeal to
the congregation to contribute funds for the
maintenance of the mission schools and chap.
els connected with the church. He did so. he
said, at the request OF the Church Session. the
members Of Which had declared that unless
the congregation contributed $1,000 more to
the collection taken up on Jan. % some OF the
missions would have to be closed.
The offerings in the Fifth Avenue Presby-
terrain Church have greatly fallen off since
differences arose in the congregation over the
Warszawiak case, Before this controversy
arose DR.; Hall always obtained as much money
as he asked from the congregation to carry on
church work. Since the controversy and es-
pecially since DIR. Halls death there has been
considerable difficulty In inducing the congre-
cation to make its offerings lin :pro portion to
the needs OF the church.
The congreRation vas asked, to contribute
$4,000 on Jan. % to maintain the church
mission schools and chapels for the present
was found that only $0,000 had been given.
Since then $4,000 has been added to that
amount.

Philadelphia Times.

PHILADELPHIA Times.
Charles Sommers, the oldest
lecter>carrier in the Philadelphia
service. died in tbs storm yester-
day, a victim to duty. He was to
report at the Post Office building
at 6 o'clock in the morning, and
at 4 o'clock be left his home, ALTO
Cambridge street. No cars were
running, and Sommers, notwiths
standing his go years, faced the
binding storm and began to walk
the long four miles to Ninth and
Chestnut streets.
He plodded bravely the lonely
road, growing weaker and
weaker. He had missed but seven
days in thirty-fve years Of SER
vice, and he vas determined not
to miss another. He struggled
over the bridge and down Market
street, There was not a saloon
open where he could for a mo-
ment seek refuge from the cold.
At Fifteenth and Market
streets the fury of the storm
overcame the indomitable reso-
luton Of the man. The elements
had conquered. and in sight of
warmth and aid he tottered into
the big drift at Fifteenth and
Market streets and, benumbed
with cold, fell into his last,
dreamless sleep. His body was
found there a little after 6 by a
policeman. 1t Was then almost
covered with snow, and although
the Hahnemann doctors tried tic
revive him the aged carrier was
dead.

AS II s SEE HIM.

The Winston Sentinel, in
speaking of our worthy towns
man Capt. T. W. Slocumb as a can
didate for Railroad Commission
er pays him the following high
but fully merited compliment:
"Capt. 7. W. Slocumb, of
Goldsboro, is spoken Of for Rail
road Commissioner. It would be
difficult for the Legislature to
find two o citizens of equal
capability to sit with him on the
Commission. Capt. Slocumb is
one of the States most sterling
sons-a staunch and unwaverlug
Democrat, and a gentleman of ex-
tensive experience in railroad
matters, and,- moreover, was
AMONG the tried and true wearers
of the gray in the days that
'ttried mems souls"
The Legislature could not Sc
lect a man more qualified or more
worthy than Capt. Sloeumb, and,
as the Sentinel says, it would in
deed s'be difficult to find two more
citizens of equal capacity to sit
with him on the Commission"
Capt. Slocumb's sympathies are
with the people. His life was
freely offered in their defense,
and laid a fresh sacrifice daily on
the altar of his country for four
long years of wal and supremest
%privaUioD, exposure and heroic en-
durancea. For thirty years he has
been IN active railroad work as
agent of the Atlantic Coast Line
at this place, giving him the ann
pest possible experience with
freight and passenger rates, trans
fl 5, schedules, "long and short
haals," &c; of discriminating
and an abiding sense of
justice-what more qualifications
could the people desire in a Rails
road Commissioner?

Not The Question.
Fairbrother's Farrago.

~Fairbrother's Farrago.
A newspaper which drifts into
these headquarters is discussing
the question which it propourds
to itself, which is the greater
evil, whiskey or cigarettes. We
fail to find why any particular
evil should be compared with
another evil. It is admitted that
an evil should be avoided. So
far as whiskey is concerned. all
agree that it is an evil, and one
time held the boards as being the
one foul blot on mankind. But
there are other evils, and not
least among them are cigarettes.
and other drug sfiictions and
additions,
The cigarette evil is in it's ins
fancy. but as it attacks infancy.
the evils Of it are the most
threatening. The average boy OF
to-day is becoming a cigarette
fiend, This is true, at least oil
the city boy. The evil has not
reached the country to an alarm
ing extent, but. sadly enough, il
is spreading. The cigarette DIES
bases, degrades and debauchei
youth. Look at any of it's victims
and you will see its blight. The
eye shows il; the hand shows it
the whole constitution indicate.
that it is being dwarfed ant
wrecked. Whiskey gets in it
work on adults, for the mos
part, and therefore is not Al
dangerous as the cigarette.
The boy who becomes saturate'
with the cigarette poison is sur
to find a premature grave or be
come a totterihg imbecile whel
he should be in the prime Of life
Society is not yet fully arouse
to this growing evil, but it will
be, we hope, some day, and thel
the philanthropists who are. no,
being applauded for giving @
their ill-gotten gains will b

most vicious foes ever turne'

Etion is not which is the creates

a host Of limitations and cheap
substitution, Syrup of Figs is
permanently beneficial in its eff

promotes good health while in
ferior preparations are being
cast aside and forgotten. In olden
times if a remedy gave tempe
rary relief to individuals here
and there, it was thought good;
but nowadays a laxative rem,
edy must give satisfaction to all.
If you Lave never used Syrup of
Figs, give it a trial, aud you will
be pleased with it, and will recon-
mend it to your friends O. to
any who suffer from constipation
or-from over-feeding, or from
colds, headaches, biliousness, or
other ills resulting from an mac
tive condition of the kidneys,
liver and bowels.

made by the California Fig
Syrup Co., and named Syrup of
Figs, figs r used, as they are
pleasant to the taste; but the
medicinal properties of the rem
