TO REBUILD JACKSONVILLE.
Generous Act of Railroad Magnate
of New York.


JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 20. "A stock
company to rebuild Jacksonville is what
seems probable at the present time, al
though the company does not contem-
plate owning the city.
Ex-United States Senator Call hopes
to organize a corporation for the pur-
pose of lending money to persons who
wish to build or rebuild in the ruined
city, ,ays New York dispatch. These
plans the ex-senator has submitted to j.
j. Hill. the railroad magnate, who was
SO heartily impressed that he rendered
tn ex. senator his personal check for
Slt, 700 to be used in whatever way it
was thought best.
Mr.. Calls plan is to form an associa-
t1on, to be corporate body, under the
lws Of New York or New Jersey. 1t is
planned to issue bonds and sell them, a
portion of the proceeds from this sale to
be set aside as sinking fund.
1t is Mr.. Calls idea that money be
loaned only for rebuilding purposes and
in amounts not to exceed an extreme
limit of $5, 900 in one loan, thus giving
to the fund extensive circulation and
capabilities of great relief.
Mr.. Call has submitted the plan,
which seeks to establish the relief fund
on sound BUSINESS basis to many of
the prominent business men Of this city,
and has met with general encourage
ment.
1t is suggested that per cent bonds
to the amount of $1,O00,O0 could be
placed, the proceeds of the sale convert
ed into United States bonds and depos-
tied with some trust company, either in
New York or Florida, to be loaned up
on real estate, under the direction of a
syndicate of men of New York and
Florida
In rendering his gift of $40, 1000 to Mr..
Call Mr.. Hill expressed belief that J.
P. Morgan would lend material aid to
the plan to re ulld the stricken city.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 29.-Alex.
ander E. Crawford is one man badly
wanted by parties in Pensacola, but his

Crawford, for several months, has been

had built up very extensive patronage
in Pensacola and vicinity. Thursday
of last week, however. he left his home
ness called him to Mobile and that he
would return the day following. The

Cost of Making Pig Iron May BE Rev
OlutioniZed.
PITTsBURG, May 29.-Preparations are
being made by the United States Steel
corporation for the erection of refrig.
Grating plant at the Lucy furnaces of
the Carnegie company, which will prob
ably figure largely in revolutionary re.
ductions i'll the cost of making pig iron.
The plant, while an experimental one,
will be built on a commercial basis and
will cost in the neighborhood of $780,
O0O.
The idea is to deprive the air of the
large percentage of its moisture by pre-
cipitating and freezing the water before
the blast is sent into the furnace. The
furnace owners have found that in win
ter, when the air is cold, dry and crisp,
they can make pig iron more cheaply
than in the summer, when the air is
filled with moisture. The experiment.
will be watched with interest by all
blast furnace men.

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. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and, sub
stance, and it's 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 senna and
other aromatic plants, by 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
