CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence of climatic condi-
lions in the cure of consumption is
very much overdrawn. The poor
patient, and the rich patient, too,
can do much better at home by
proper attention to food digestion,
and a regular use of German Syrup.
Free expectoration in the morning is
made certain by German Syrup, so
is a good nights rest and the alb
sence of that weakening cough and
facilitating night sweat. Restless
nights and the exhaustion due to
coughing, the greatest danger and
dread of the consumptive, can be
prevented or stopped by taking Ger
man Syrup literally and regularly.
Should you be able to go to a warm
er cline, you will find that of the
thousands of consumptives there, the
few who are ben Fitted and regain
strength r those who use German
lSyrup. Trial bottles, 25c.; regular

HOW THEY IMPRESSED A

Question to a Puzzled Guest,
and Emphasizes Anew the
Abiding Fact That We've
Got the Best Town in

who sell New York papers at night
upon the arrival of the Norfolk
"shoofly," which brings them, are
hustlers indeed. Some times the
Norfolk train is a few minutes late,
and when this occurs it has to take
the siding near the ice factory to al
low the "shoofiy" from Whining
ton, north bound, the right of way
out, before it runs up to the depot.
These little fellows keep them
selves posted right up to the second
as to the Norfolk train and whenever
it is late enough to lose its right of
way into the city they are on their
wheels and down at the siding, and
the moment the train slows up they
secure their papers-and then such
a race as they have up to the hotel to
sell them to waiting guests and reg
ular customers. Last night was one
Of these occasions. A transient guest
at the hotel bought a "'To-day's New
York paper" without adverting to
the fact that the train had not yet
arrived. The train from Whining
ton came in shortly afterwards and
departed. Then the Norfolk train
ran up to the depot and passengers
began to file into the hotel and reg
lister.
! "What train is that" asked the
| guest who ten mi ute5 before had
bought the ''to-Gay's New York pa
| per-"
"That is the train fir m Norfolk
that brings to days New York pa
pers," said Harry Edwards, to whom
the guest addressed his enquiry.
The guest in question quickly
and with a flashing suspicion that he
had been s.did'-consulted the date
line of his paper in hand. It was
"to-day's New York paper" The
guest was puzzled and looked
thoughtful. "Well, how's this" he
enquired, "here's to-day's New York
raper that I bought from a newsboy
ten minutes before the train that
brings them got here?"
Then Harry Ed wards-he of the
Hotel Kennon's cigar and new,
stand zswIth his usual urbanity anC
characteristic loquaciousneS s-ness
infinitely explained the whole cir
cumstance to the enquiring gentle
man. Whereupon, the latter re

"Those, + hustiing newsboys! Sell

"Oh, no." said Harry, "they ar

BRADsThEET,s REVIEW.

New York, Jan. 22.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: Confidence in a pros porous spring trade finds support in an en1arglng volume of business at south eFn and Southwestern markets, an
 awakening of interest at some northwest ern centres and growth even at ccntrat- western and eastern markets. where. how oyer. weather conditions are drawback
 to the fullest activity. The strength of
 raw cotton is apparently making it easier to negotiate and place cottons in eastern markets at the higher level of values, manufacturing and jobbing in dry goods is increasingly active. The iron trade Is irregular as a. whole and various ly regarded accordingly as the point of view shifts from crude to finished pro ducts or the observer Is located east or west. The lighter finished products pretty good shape and demand is better. Good prices are being obtained as rule. Pig iron is quiet. Talk of more busi- ness in heavy steel. structural and rails Is heard, but the railroads as whole are backward in placing orders. Lumber and building materials are nominAlly quiet at present, but the outlook for spring is regarded as promising.
 The shoe, leather and allied trades are In strong position. Wheat dncluding four exports for the week. ending Jantia- " 2f. aggregate S.5ss,1 ,192 bushels, against last, year.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
wEArHER CONDITIONS cHIEE
Wholesale Business Is Fairly Good, While Manufacturing Plants Are More Active Outlook
 for Spring Flattering.


 New York, Jan. z2.--R. 0. Dun & co. | weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Weather conditions have furnished the
 chief influences in the general trade situa-
 ton. To some extent traf1c has been hindered, especially at he East, but the
 test returns of railway earnings for Janary show an increase of 3.9 per cent over 1905. Consumption of fuel was iIi- creased and retail trade in coal, greatly expanded. but no commensurate gain at first hand is reported owing to the large supplies held by dealers. Retail distrtbu- 'tion of foot wear and heavy wearing ap- paref felt the stimulus. Wholesale busi- ness is fairly active. Manufacturing plants arc more active and the outlook Collections are somewhat more prompt. Leading staples have risen to new maxi mum prices for the crop year. Iron and steel plants that resumed at ethe turn of the year have obtained sufficient business to continue operating and t}sis far the ad- justment of wages has not produced tho threatened strikes. As to quotations there is nominally no alteration. Scrap iron and steel continue firm and old rails are the strongest feature. The industry Is nearly in most unsettled condition owing to the numerous and unequal re- ductions in quotations, but there is . feel ing that with the easier money market como q better demand and more set- tied conditions. Of scarcely less interest than the abnormal pride of raw cotton is the situation as to the size of stocks of manufactured goods. Much depends on the revival of purchasing, thus far very limited amount of new business being off, fered. There seems to be no uncertain ty regarding the scarcity in first hands for there is delay in the few contracts rendered. Print cloths again advanced but otherwise former quotations prevail. The London wool auction sale produced slightly higher quotations for raw wool and the situation in this branch of textile fabrics Is becoming as complicated sas the cotton industry. Failures this week numbered 3Ss in the United States, against 265 last year and 8 in Canada, compared with 27 a year ago.

PETER TALK PARDoNED.
Barbour County Negro Convicted of
 Miscegenation.


 Governor Jelks yesterday issued a par don to Peter Falk a negro of Barbour County, convicted of the crime of misceg- enation. Fafk was sentenced to four years imprisonment. of which he had served a little over a year.
 There were grave doubts as to Falk' s guilt. There was doubt In the first place as to whether the woman in the case was white. She was tried for the same crime and acquitted and yet on the same evil denee FaIk was convicted.
 The trial judge, the solicitor. the fere- man of the jury all wrote that hey doubt ed Falk's guilt and asked the Governor to extend him executive elemency. The application for Talks pardon was signed by all the county officials and many good citizens of Barbour County. The Board of Pardons recommended ciemency. The attention of the Governor was drawn to the fact hat Falk at his trial was not represented by an attorney.
 All these facts are reviewed by the Governor in his endorsement of Talk S pardon.

BOTTLES OF MEMBERS
VISITORS SURPRISED AT CON-
 GRESSIoNAL DISPLAY.
They Were for the Purpose of Ex- hibition, However, and Did Not Contain What the
 Visitors Surmised.
Advertiser Bureau,

Advertiser Bureau,
 Colorado Building,
 Washington, Jan. 22.
 Expressions of curious surprise have the galleries of the House during several days of the week past. The occasion of this surprise was the spectacle of numei- ous bottles on desks at which members sat Quite a number of them had each a bottle in front of him that contained suggestive-hucd liquid, while one meI:- ber's desk looked like the shelf Of a well stocked bar-room. The House had under consideration the pure food bill and the bottles contained samples or adulterated beverages. table oils. condi- ments, wines and liquors.
 An incident of the display of bottles which has caused amusement for tic week occurred the day Representative Mann, of Illinois, who was taking con- spicuous interest in the pure food ques- ton. started from his committee room for the House floor with an arm full of the samples. He had just reached the House portals when a swinging door knocked from his hold a big bottle of olive oil The bottle of course broke and the oil spread rapidly over the smooth stone floor. Immediately following this worse mishap came. General Bingham, Path CT of the House" who Is about the size of General Joe Wheeler and has ths same unwaiting gait. plunged into the pi! re- zion and instantly gyrated as though he were trying to skate the figure eight on banana peeIlnE. b6ninu nlm Cdne Cooper of Wisconsin: he too went to grief and grease and with an exception ally sickening thud. The fallen states men, with a new literal sleekness, were picked up and sympathetic hands assist ed their own in rubbing the sore places. While this was going on, Floor Leader Serene Payne, with his head in the air. striding like Catiline quitting Rome, was just about to set foot across the oleagl- nous dead line. when a cry of horror thrilled through and through his maJes- tic embonpoint. Thus suddenly brought from the empyrean of his thought, the look with which the upstate New York statesman realized his narrow escape was indescribably ludicrous.
 One of the most touching spectaeles pre- sented by the presence of the array of bottles was furnished by Representative Gibson. of Tennessee. MT. Gibson was first observed to walk solemnly down the middle aisle with a large bourbon-look- ing black bottle in hand. He went over to the Democratic side where Richardson. of Alabama, was speaking; stood there wrapped in thought and wrapping the bottle with his ten fingers, and finally sank down into q chair, still hugging the bottle. Thus absorbed. solemnly clasping the bottle, sat Mir. Gibson. while specta- tors in the gallery craned their necks and leaned forward as though to see whether he would sample the sample.
