An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG 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
printed on the front of every package.

Newman, of Tennessee, now In Chicago on

William, universally known as Bill

him from accommodating any property.
Before the war, Lincoln county. where
Grove resided, was decidedly Democratic,

HER MOTHERS STOCKINGS.
The Bride Thought OF Them at Every
step During Her Mar
riage.

A good story is being whispered
around about one Of the beautiful
brides Of the other week. She wns mar
ried in q big church with the usual ac-
compartments of flowers and pretty
bridesmaids. Everyone remarked how
perfectly beautiful the bride looked as
She walked up the aisle on the arm Of
her father to meet the bridegroom wait
ing at the altar.
After the wedding breakfast, and
just as the brideNvas preparing to start
for the depot to catch the afternoon
train for her honeymoon, an old school
friend of her mother came TO her,
kissed her on both cheeks, and said;
MY dear child, you were the most
perfectly lovely bride that / have seen
this winterl AS you walked up the aisle
to meet the man who was so soon to be
your husband; everyone could see from
the half-frightened yet trustful look
upon your face and the firm yet tender
smile about your mouth that you were
thinking of the serious Importance Of
the step that you were taking. Your
very look seemed TO say; 4 am leaving
my girlhood behind me and going forth
upon an untried sea, but so great is my
trust in him whom have chosen that l
step forward without fear and in per-
feet confidence Tell me, my dear, just
what the thoughts were which brought
that lovely expression upon your face
this morning"
'Very well, will tell you," said the
bride, exactly what my thoughts were
as I walked up the aisle. My mother,
who, as you know, is much smaller
woman than / am, for some sentimental
reason insisted upon my wearing at the
altar the very silken hose in which she
was married to my father 20 years ago
They were so tight for me that at each
step ! kept repeating to myself: This
time they will surely split This time
they viii surely split" And when
reached the altar without accident
was so much relieved that / probably
did wear the look Of bliss which every
body mentioned" Washington Times

animals Are 50 Plenty There the
shooting License Has
Been Reduced.

The Newfoundland legislature has
just passed an act which will be hailed
with satisfaction by American sports
men. BY It the hunting grounds Of
the island will be thrown open to men
of moderate means and limited holiday
time. Heretofore the fee exacted by
the colonial authorities for permission
TO shoot caribou has been 500 for seven
head-five stays and two does For this
there has been substituted graded IL
cense, as follows; For $40 a license is
granted, good for one month, permit
ting the holder to kill two stays and one
doe; for $50 the number is increased to
three stays and one doe, and the period
Is extended to six weeks; while for $50
a two months license is obtainable, with
the right TO kill five stays and two does.
The deer-stalklng season opens on
July 10 and continues until October /,
when there is an interval of 20 days.
Shooting is resumed on October 20 and
continues until February 1, from which
time until the middle of July close
season is observed. The caribou are
to be found in the vast tracts Of in
terror forest and the uplands known
as "barrens," untrodden except by the
occasional hunter. The deer are in
countless herds, and those in the col
ony who have most closely observed
their habits say that with proper safe
guards against wanton killing there is
no reason why they should not con-
tlnue 20 provide the finest sport for
the hunters of Europe and America
when every other accessible hunting
ground has been depleted. 1t must be
remembered that the 100000 people
who inhabit Newfoundland live round
It's coastline and that three miles from
high water mark there is not settle
ment. The rest of the $4,000 square
miles of the island is given up TO the
wild animals, which include bears,
wolves, foxes, lynx, caribou and hares.
The best time for American sports
men to visit the island is the month of
September. The best route is that by
rail to North Sydney, Cape Breton,
where the steamer Bruce is taken across
the 90 miles of water separating this
island from the continent. Landing at
Port-aux-Basques in five or six hours,
the hunter boards train, and a run Of
10 hours places him in the midst Of
the deer country. At Bay Of Islands,
about two-thirds of the way, guides,
canoes and all the other accessories to
successful hunting trip can be OBJ
tanned.
September is the best month to visit
the island, because then the sportsman
can vary his caribou hunting with other
sport, such as angling for trout or sal
mon. No fee is eXacted by the colony
for any form Of sport except deer hunt
ing; the trout and salmon rivers are
free 10 all, and the game birds can be
shot by any person possessing the
requisite fowling piece. The guides en-
gagged for caribou shooting are equally
available for the angling and bird
shooting A visitor, therefore, with the
leisure and equipment can claim his
fill Of enjoyment there within month

Gil COUNTY.
Elkton, Md, Sept 9.-Wilnam p.
Windish, the constable from Delaware
who shot and killed Ali Terror at
Perryville, Cecil county, on Monday
last, was given a preliminary hearing
on the charge of murder before Justice
Philip NJ. Groves in Elkton yesterday.
The prisoner was defended by Senator
Austin L. Crothers. assisted by l..
Marshall Haines counsel for the rail-
road company.
Constable Windish described the oc-
currence. He stated that he had one
prisoner and was holding him with
his left hand, and with his pistol in his
right hand pointed into the car. He
saw two men in there, one to his right
and the other disappearing at the door.
Just as he did so his pistol was in
voluntarily discharged, as he supposed
into the opposite side of car, as he was
not aiming at nor dfd he see any per-
son in that direction, and was surprised
and shocked when he heard that he
had struck a man.
Detective Jones. who was with Wind
ish. testified as to the nature of the
proceedings. stating that he was COM
missioned by the governor OF Mary
land as a special officer.
Justice Groves decided to hold the
prisoner for the action of the grand
jury at the September term OF the Cir
cult Court for Cecil county.
The inquest in Baltimore on the body
Of Terror was again postponed on ac-
count OF the absence of witnesses from
Cecil county. This was the second post
ponement. Coroner Germon telegraph
ed to States Attorney Evans. OF Cecil
county, to have the witnesses in Bal
timore Monday night. Coroner Ger
mon claims that as Terror died in his
district it is necessary to have a jury
pass upon the cause of death before a
permit can be given for the burial of
the body.
The will of Rev. William T. Miller
of Leeds, Cecil county. was admitted
to probate. The estate is valued at be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, and is dis
posed of as follows: To his son, An
