FOREIGN RELATIONS.
An interesting Book Being Made Up
 By the State Department.

Washington, April s.-The volume of foreign relations with the United States during 1902, published by the state de- partment, Is now in press and will be ready for distribution within few days. Among other things contained in this number are copies of instructions sent to the diplomatic and consular representa- lives of the United States relative to the issuance of passports, the purpose being to secure greater uniformity in the sys- tenn.
 The attention of agents of this country is called to the fact that while the United States does not discriminate between na- tive born and naturalized citizens, yet" says the department, Fin determining the question of the conservation of American citizenship and the right to receive a pass port it is only reasonable to take into ac- count the purpose for which the citizen- ship is obtained A naturalized citizen who returns to the country of his origin and there resides without tangible mani festation of an intention to. return to the United States, may therefore generally be assumed to have lost the right to re- ceive the protection of the United States

 of the Worlds Commerce.
portant Than Wealth With out It.

It must be apparent to every one that qualities of the highest order are neees- sary to enable the best of the products of modern commerce to attain permanently to universal acceptance. However loudly heralded, they may not hope for worldwide
 preeminence unless they meet with the general approval, not of individuals only. but of the many who have the happy faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn ing the real worth of the choicest prod ucts. Their commendation, conseduently, becomes important to others, since to meet the requirements of the we'll in formed of all countries the method of manufacture must be of the most per- feet order and tho combination the most excellent of it's kind. The above Is true not of food products only. but Is espe- cially applicable to medicinal agents and after nearly a quarter of a century of growth and general use the excellent remedy. Syrup of Figs, is everywhere accepted, throughout the world, as the best of family laxatives It's quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative and carmin- atIve principles of plants known to act most benehcally on the system and pre- sented in the form of pleasant and re- freshing liquid, but also to the method
 of manufacture of the California Fig Syrup Co.,, which ensures that uniformi-
 ty and purity essential in a remedy in- tended for family use. Ask any physi- clan who Is well informed and he will answer at once that it is an excellent laxative. If at all eminent In his pro- fession and has made a special study of laxatlves and their effects upon the sys- tenn he will tell you that it is the best of family laxatiyes. because it Is sim pie and wholesome and cleanses and sweetens the system effectually. when a laxative Is needed, without any un- pleasant after-effects. Every well-in- formed druggist of reputable standing knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel lent laxative and Is glad to sell 1t, at the regular price of fifty cents per bot
 tie, because fl gives general satisfac- ton, but one should remember that in order to get the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs 1t Is necessary to buy the genuine, which Is sold in original pack ages only; the name of the remedy Syrup of Figs and also the full name of the Company-California Fig Syrup Go. printed on the front of every package.

ALABAMA WILL
 HAVE NO EXHIBIT
Commissioners Decide Not to
 Make Showing at St. Louis,
STATE CAN'T GIVE ANYTHING
As Governor Jelks Could Not See He Way Clear to Sign Blll Approprlat. Ing Any Amount the Matter
 is Allowed to Drop.

Montgomery, April s.-(speeial )--Ala- ba.na will not be represented by state exhibit at the Worlds fair at St. Louis.
 This decision was reached by the state commission after an all-day session here today. When the commission met the members were aware that Governor Jelks was opposed to an appropriation out of the state treasury sufficient to make a satisfactory exhibit, so plans were dis- cussed for raising money to supplement what was thought could be gotten from the state.
 It was determined to ask for subscrip- tions of sf to the fund, and the commit- tee was named to see the governor. The governor informed the committee that he did not believe the treasury could stand any appropriation. The commission then abandoned the idea of an exhibit, adopt ing the following resolution:
 "Whereas, The Alabama Worlds fair commission, in session today, has been duly informed that the chief executive of the state will not see his way clear to give his approval to an appropriation which in the opinion of the commission would be sufficient for the making of state exhibit at St. Louis. even should 1t be supplemented by what may reason- ably be expected to be obtained by pop ular subscription; therefore be it
 Resolved, That this commission does not believe 1t wise at this time to adopt any plan for raising a subscription for making a state exhibit at the Worlds fair
 Resolved, further, That copy of these resolutions be sent to each of the com mercial bodies of the state. at whose re- quest this commission was created"
