An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Ere 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 FI6 SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

PIG IRON PRODUCTION.
Indications That 1t win Soon BE Mater
tally Increased

Indications That It win Soon BE Mater
ialiy Increased
Philadelphia, March 24.-This weeks
bulletin Of the American Iron and Steel
Association says:
In January last it was reported TO tha
American Iron and Steel Association
that there were in blast on December
81, 1898, 2o2 furnaces. whose weekly
capacity was about 247 800 gross tons.
or at the rate of 12,S70.O00 tons rer
annum. From this rate of production
there was a slight decline in January
and a still further decline in February
due largely to the inclemency of the
winter weather, but while some furn-
aces fell below their capacity in these
two months, and while a few furnaces
were forced to blow out temporarily for
repairs, others were blown in and still
others have been blown in in March or
are pelng made ready to blow in, so
that it seems probable that in the yerv
near tuture our production Of pig iron
VIII De sensibly increased if, indeed, it
mas not ALREADY been increased beyond
the figures of December 81.
TO ascertain as nearly as possible
the exact situation at the present time
CT our pig iron industry, the associa-
ton has communicated directly with
the manufacturers whose furnaces were
likely to have been blown out or blown
in since December 81, or were likely to
be soon blown in.
Detailed replies from the manufac-
turers show that sixteen furnaces have
been blown out with weekly capacity
Of 1O,740 tons; than fourteen were
blown in before March 10, with a week
ly capacity OF 1921 tons, and that
forty-eight other furnaces are already
in or may be expected to blow in soon
with a weekly capacity of 1882 tons.
These figures verify the forecast or
an increased production Of pig iron.
There are few other furnaces not
noted in this calculation that are re-
ported to be likely to blow in soon, but
from which the association has not re-
ceived definite information.

THGMAsvILL<E. Ga. March M-Tne
administration Will not decide upon its
permanent policy respecting the Phisip-
pines until the Schurman commission re-
ports. 1t feels that its present knowledge
Of the islands IS too indefinite as basis
for fixed policy.
Moreover, an Immediate decision is felt
to be needless since for the present the
only problem is the restora ton of law and
order and the establishment of stable
peaceful conditions. This and the apr mt
ment of a diplomatic representative at
Madrid are two of the most important
matters remaining open. The Madrid
mission probably win be raised to an en-
bassy soon after payment of the twenty
miaion indemnity, and man of the high
est qualifications and attachments chosen
for this delicate and important post.
Gen. Woodford may not lie the new en-
voy, owing to the fact that New York all
ready has an undue proportion Of the
highest diplomatic appointments.

The evening session was opened with
4 violin solo rendered By Miss Edith
Cartwright. She responded to an en-
core, after which the subject, How can
we keep the boys in school until they
finish the course?" was opened by Supt
". N. Mertz, OF Sistersville. who said
that some suggested mere male teach
ers, others that more high studies
elective. Supt. Anderson said he did
not approve of allowing the pupils to
select what they are to study. Supt-
Stewart, of Martins Ferry, agreed with
Mr.. Anderson. He also wished his
child taught by both ladies and gem
tlemen. Prof. Chamberlin, Of Marietta
College. spoke against elective studies.
Eupt. Merrick, CT Cadiz, o., spoke next.
He said that there was both an inter
nal and external cause for boys and
also girls for leaving school. One
internal cause is that all are expected
to do the same amount of work The
slow ones are expected just as much
as the bright ones, and they thus be-
come discouraged and quit school.
An external cause is found in the
homes; the parents do not see the
necessity for a high school education"
Supt. Work, OF the Wheeling high
school, said that the high school is try
ing to do too much work. Our best
high schools are equivalent to what
Harvard and Yale were one hundred
years ago. Our high school courses are
not near enough to the people" Supt.
Williams, of Marietta, spoke of how to
keep the boys through the grammar
school. He says that five times as
many drop out of the grammar schools
as drop out of the high schools. The
meeting was then adjourned until $3.50
o'clock this morning.
Among those present from distant
points were Professors Plummer and
Chamberlin, OF Marietta, O.; Merrick,
OF Cadiz, O.; Mertz, of Steubenville, O.;
