Daniel O'Connell had got man off
at one time for highway robbery and
at another for burglary; but on the
third occasion, for stealing a coasting
brig, the task Of hoodwinking the jury
seemed too great for even his powers
of cajolery. However, he made out
that the crime was committed on the
high seas and obtained an acquittal.
The prisoner lifted up his hands and
eyes to heaven and exclaimed: May

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup Of Figs
and Elixir Of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one of many reasons.
why it is the best Of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component

effects always purchase the genuine

MAcHINE-eRouND PAINT.

Occasionally one hears the hand
mixed" paint of the painter slightingly
spoken of as "unscientific" and mot
thoroughly mixed" The facts are all
on the side of the painter and his hand
prepared paint.
1t is the most scientific" paint there
is, because it is made on the spot to
suit the particular purpose for which
it is to be used. 1t is as scientific as
a good doctors prescription. If the
painter did not mix it thus it would
be as unscientific as a patent medi-
cine. Moreover, the paint which a
good painter turns out is made of
genuine white lead and pure linseed
oil. II he does not mix it himself he
is not sure what is in it, and conse-
quently his client cannot be sure.
As for not being thoroughly mixed
by machinery, that is simply a mis-

New York, Aug 14.-Tnat Harry X.
Thaw will be free within a month is
the opinion of prominent New York
lawyers Eugene Philibin former dis
trict attorney, said:
There is no doubt that once Thaw
STEPS oufside CT New York state he

convicted Of any crime. He was ac-
quilted on grounds of insanity, Judge
Bowling, believing il to be for the
good OF the state, committed Thaw TO
Matteawan. This commitment is legal
only in New York.
'If the Federal authorities demand
Thaw's presence at the bankruptcy
proceedings in Pittsburg. those who
have Thaw in custody have no other
course than to produce him. The SER
vice of subpoenas on either Thaw or

quira mis- keepers to turn him over to

take him 10 Pittsburg Once across

John f. Mcintyre, a aMug lawyer

Because Thaw was committed to
an insane asylum does not necessarily
prove that IN any other state he would
not be legallg sane until proven other
wise, and until ais sanity was paase
upon by competent commission, he
wouh have every right under the law
