THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

Is due not only to the originality and
simplicity OF the combination. but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFoREiA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS. the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other paD-
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRSIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions OF families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence OF It's remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver ana
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order 70 get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

a RUN POWER VICTIM
But He was Not an Ordinary Bicycle
Thief.

R. F. Wayne who was sent to the
county Jail from Tempe the other day

it transpires, no ordinary bicycle

only one lucid interval since and that
wasn't as lucid as it might have been.

Tempe on the Fourth of July, par

favorably impressed with Tempe and

that when he recovered consciousness

his brother was in Jail for stealing a

true but the crime was ridiculous.
His brother, he said. could not ride a
bicycle any mere than q calf, and
there was no need OF his stealing a
wheel or anything else. fer both had
plenty Of money. The brother in. Jail
recoI,ects nothing about the wheel
He says he took it no doubt, but in

never tended toward bicycles and he

THE HARMONY COMMUNITY
The FACT of 1t Stronger Than the
Fiction of Vniga.

Sam Seip, who once lived in Pitts
burg, made a study Of a remarkable
town almost adjacent TO the city. a
plain story Of the town would sound
like fiction only that 1t is even more
strange than fiction. Mr.. Seip said:
You talk CT Shakers and peculiar
people. III tell you about the most
singular village. It is called the town
of Harmony and is only twenty miles
from Pittsburg- The pesple are prop
erly known as Butlerites-a man
named Butler was the founder of the
town-bEt they are commonly called
Harmcnites. The village was set
ted nearly forty years ago. when land
was cheap and quantity of it was
bought. The inhabitants of Har-
mony numbering about $1,000 live on
Cooperate re plan, but they de slot be-
lieve in marrying. The population OF
the town is maintained by adopting
children, but think it only a matter
CT years when the place will be de-
populated. If it is. according to a
contract made with Pennsylvania, the
state will get the property. Harmony
is governed by father and twenty
four councilmen. These are old men
and when one of them dies he is sue
ceeded by the next Oldest man in the
village, provided he is capable. The
villagers don't believe in co-education
They live in immense houses. each
enc holding at least 100 persons and
they try as nearly as possible to all eat
at the same table. Under this form of
government the people have become
very prosperous. The dense setting
up of that part of the state has made
the holding exceedingly valuable.
And the people have nothing but the
best. Their produce is standard. They
have wooden mills and dairies The
rich families of Pittsburg buy the
butter, which is the most expensive as
well as the best quality on the mar
ket. The people are lot socialists, as
the name is commonly understood.

Gil has adopted successful measures
against imp0stors. If a child is left

RAMON, THE DESTROYER
p Sanguinsry Affair Beyond Five
Points Yesterday.

The telephone at Justice Johnstone's
Office rang Historically yesterday
afternoon. The justice put the trmpet
10 his ear and dropped it with a shrek
of pain. He got a deaf man to listen
for him and he said that James Nc
Carthy of Five Points was at the
other end describing in graphic lam
guage a sanguinary row, which had
occurred on the avenue half mile be
yond. Mccarthy said that one of the
participants was there at his place of
business badly mutiIated. The deaf
man hung up the trumpet joyfuily.
He said that this was the first time
he had heard anything by telephone
in ten years and he believed that his
hearing had been miraculously re-
stored. Justice JohnstCne, still boring
his finger into his ear trying to soothe
the irritated tympanum, said: L
believe mine has been permanently
lost. Jim Mccarthy ought to be eX-
cluded from the use Of telephones"
The justice and Captain Mcdonald
got cab and went out to Five Points.
They found the mutilated Mexican
He had lost from his face about $3.50
worth of epidemis, based on the pres

The Mexican was net quite

HARRISON.
4 Notable Tribute to the Republican
Ex-President.
Constitution (Dem.).

Atlanta Constitution CDem.).
The example set by the appearance of ex-
President Harrison as a practicins attorney
before the Venezuelan arbitration commits
sion at Paris must be a revelation from
several points of view TO the people OF
Europe.
Judging from the character of the men
who are born into power In the Old World,
and who are incapable of transacting their
own business, the appearance of the Amer
lean ex-President furnishes a pleasing con-
trast. Here is a man who for four years
was the executive head of the greatest ma
ton on earth. who not only knows how to
work, but who can work well, holding his
own in a contest of the keenest intellects
of the world. Clean in character, indus
trious in habit, studious in manner, and
proclaiming himself a man among men.
Benjamin Harrison is a citizen of whom
the United States may well feel proud.
The fact also that a man who had once
tasted the vastness of power should relin-
quish IL with pleasure and engage in an
honest vocation is another feature which
will arouse comment. The French borders
are always beset by the presence of pre-
tenders to power whose only claim IL that
Of family inheritance. They live by bleed
ing their followers. who hope for repayment
when the time OF restoration comes. The
American, on the contrary. calmly resumes
his citizenship and feels as distant from the
control of empire as if he had never had
ii in his hands.
To a world of conySntionalism and ira
dition this lesson of American manhood
land it Is the man and not the family that
counts, and manly principle and integrity
go for much more than polluted princely
blood.
