"a sFa>
sin.
PITTSBURG, Pa. September g.
Seldom has Pittsburg been so pro-
foundly affected as it was this even
ing. President Mckinley is a great
favorite with Pittsburgers generally.
An instance of this feeling was given
in front of II of the bulletin boards,
when an unknown man yelled: "Hurrah
for the uran who shot Mckinley" In an
instant he was knocked down and with
a hundred men trying to get a kick at
him he was in a fair way to be killed.
Somehow during the excitement he
managed TO get through the crowd and
ran up Diamond alley with a mob at
his heels. In desperation he made a
dash for a passing trolley car and for
tunately for him. hung on until the
conductor dragged him inside.

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
themin the form most refreshing to the
taste ard acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening 10 xa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling on3
to overcome habitual constipation per.
mauently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance. and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, ~-ithout weakening
or irritating them, make il the ideal
laxative.
IN the process of manufacturing 6gs
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 FIe SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

New York, Feb. IA dispatch to
the journal and Advertiser from Lon
don says:
Delicate negotiations are passing
between the courts of Russia and En-
gland looking to a marriage between
the Grand Duke Michael, younger
brother of the car, and heir presump-
tive to the throne and Princess Vic
toria, only unmarried daughter Of
the king of England Standing in the
way of the marriage is the ironclad
law of the Russian church forbidding
marriages between first cousins. The
czarowitz Grand Duke Michael Alex
androvitch, is a son of the dowager
empress of Russia, who is a sister of
Queen Alexandra of England, the
mother of Princess Victoria.
A dispensation from the car would
be necessary for such a match, and it
is extremely doubtful if Nicholas
would grant such dispensation, for
he refused it when Michael wanted to
marry another first cousin, Princess
Helene, daughter of the Grand Duke
Vladimir.

VALUE OF VEGETABLES.
Parsley is cooling and purifying.

Parsley is cooling and purifying.
Asparagus is very cooling and cas-
lily digested.
Turnip tops are invaluable when
young and tender.
Celery is delicious cooked, and good
for rheumatic and equity people.
Tomatoes are health-giying and
purifying, either eaten raw or cooked.
Spinach is particularly good for
rheumatism and govt, and also in kid
ney diseases.
Lettuces are very wholesome. They
are slightly narcotic, and lull and
calm the mind.
Beetroot is very cooling and highly
nutritious, owing to the amount OF
sugar it contains.
Onions are good for chest ailments
and colds, but do not agree with all.
Watercresses are excellent tonic,
stomachic and cooling.
Green neute shoots, if gathered in
spring and cooked as spinach, form a
most delicate and wholesome blood
purifying vegetable.
Cabbage, caulihower, Brussels
sprouts and broccoli are cooling, nutri-
tive, laxative and purifying to the
blood, and also act as a tonic, but
should not be eaten too freely by deli
cate persons.
Potatoes, parsnips, carrots, turnips
and ortichokes are highly nutritious
but not so digestible as some vege-
tables. Potatoes are the most nour.
ishing and are fattening for nervous
people.
Chill, cayenne, horse-radish and
mustard should be used sparlngly.
They give zest to the appetite, and
are valuable stomachics. Radishes are
the same, but are indigestible, and
should not be eaten by delicate PEG.

FEARFUL RUSSIAN OIL FIRE.
Millions OF Foods of PetI Oleum and

Baku, Russian Trans-Caucassia Feb.
IA fire broke out, Tuesday, in the
magazines of the Caspian g. Black Sea
Co., which contained 100000 pools
Of petroleum. The confagration re-
suited in great loss of life and wide
spread damage.
The flames spread to other depots,
having a capacity of 100000 pools
of naptha, which poured out like a
stream of lava, inundating and setting
fire to the dwellings of the workmen
which were totally destroyed. Many
persons persisted. Twenty charred
bodies have been found, and upwards
of so people are terribly burned. Four
hundred families lost everything they
possessed.
The magazines are still burning, and
neighboring reservoirs are in great
danger. A general panic prevails.
Eight naptha springs belonging to
the Melkoff, Ralski G. Caspian Co.
caught fire February 3.
