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 a 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,

Wool.

BOSTON June The American Wool and
Gotten Reporter will say tomorrow of the wool
trade: The market is more active and stronger
Several of the large mills have been represented
In the market and they have taken, all told, a
considerable amount Of wool, for which they paid
advanced quotations. Certain of these mills
would have purchased more wool IL holders had
been willing make sufficient concessions in
prices. Holders OF wool very firm, however,
and as q result a number of intending purchasers
did not secure all the wool that they expected
and the strength Of the situation is accentuated
by the increased activity and strength in the
goods market. The sales of the week in Boston
amount to 554S 500 lbs domestic and 5000 for
egn, making a total of 6,l63, 400 los. against a
total of 4,435.o 600 for the previous week. Sales
since jan /, 1899, amount to ion, S90, 200 lbs
against 81, 464.310 last year at this time.

RULES ARE TOO RIGID
FOR CONDUCTING RAILROAD
BRANCHES OF THE Y. M. C. A.
Suggestion for Meeting Trolley Com
petition-The Big Four Engine
Exceeded Expectations.

]. Q. Van Wrinkle, general superintendent
OF the Big Four lines. thinks some modifi-
cation is necessary in the rules governing
tie railroad branch of the. Young Mems
Christian Association. THE railroad COM
panies." he said yesterday, fit up COM
Portable and inviting quarters at division
points for the trainmen and other en-
pioyes to spend their time in when off duty;
they have reading rooms, bathrooms. a
good restaurant and good beds. The inten-
ton IS TO have the men feel that II is a
home for them, and in this manner it is
hoped to keep them from visiting saloons,
gambling houses and other resorts and
forming bad habits. the intention being to
elevate them morally and religiously That
IS all right. and the Big Four Company and
myself contribute literally TO the support
of these institutions. but mistake is made.
Under the rules Of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association We are not allowed to sell
tobacco or cigars, or give them away to be
used about the building. Ninety-five out
OF one hundred of the railroad men use to-
bacco in some form. and. like myself. would
rather go without a meal than miss the en-
5oyment of a good cigar. This craving for
tobacco forces the railroad man TO go
across the street to a saloon TO get his to-
DSccO nave decided 10 Try the experiment
at Brightwood and East ST. Louis. of al
lowing tobacco and cigars sold to the men,
so that they may not be obliged to visit
q saloon to get cigar or tobacco"
Mr.. Van Wrinkle also spoke of the COM
petition of the electric lines. When the
building of an electric line in the gas belt
territory was agitated, he proposed to re-
duce passenger rates so low and put up such
o fight that the electric lines could not have
sold their bonds or get capitalists to in
vest He went so far as TO urge President
ingalls, that the road meet trolley competi-
tion before 1t was put in operation. Mr.
Nan Wrinkle. however, does not think that
the long lines, such as proposed from To-
ledo to Cincinnati. from Cleveland to In
dianapolis. will ever cut into the long haul
revenue OF the through trains. but between
the larger cities and towns they will cut
into the steam roads in fine weather. He
thinks the railway managers will hit upon
some plan TO meet this new line of COM
petition. considerable portion of the
travel on electric lines will undoubtedly be
short pleasure trips. and he does not be-
leve that the revenue of the steam roads
will suffer from the trolley lines to the ex-
tent that some OF the passenger officials
fear.

Green to succeed thomson.

II was learned yesterday at Philadelphia,
from what is believed TO be a trustworthy
source, that when the directors of the
Pennsylvania Railroad fill the position
made vacant by the death of President
Frank Thomson. they will make no de-
parture from the time-honored custom of
advancing the next in rank of the executive
officers of the company. The logical Sc
qGence OF thus following established prece-
dents will be the election OF First Vice
President John p. Green 10 the presidency.
and from the same source Of information
IL Is learned that Mr.. Green will accept the
place. Second Vice President Charles +.
Pugh will be made first vice president and
third Vice President s NJ. Provost will be
made second vice president. No official ac-
ton has yet been taken by the board of d.
rectors special meeting may be called TO
