A GOOD MAN GONE. Death in Philadelphia of George W. Childs. The Famous Journaliat and riiiJanthro* plat Succumbs to an Attack of Paralysis—Account of Ills Career and Work. HE WAS A MAN BELOVED. Philadelphia, Feb. 5.—G. W. Childs, proprietor of the Public Ledger, died this morning at 3:01 o’clock at his residence at the southeast corner of ‘Twenty-second and Walnut streets from the effects of a stroke of paralysis sustained by him January 19. George William Chlldn was born in Haiti, more, Mel, May 12, 1829. He was educated at private schools in his native city, and when 14 years old removed to Philadelphia. Soon afterward he becamo a clerk in a book storo and after a service of four years there opened a small storo of his own in the old Ledger building at Third and Chestnut streets. In due time he became a publisher of books and at the

GEORGE W. CHILDS. of 21 was at the head of the llrrr. of Childs & Peterson, liven at that early day Mr. Childs’ ambitions and* inclinations were well formed. He had decided to be a newspaper publisher, and it is related that goon after ho engaged in business in the Ledger building he stated that some day lie intended to be the proprietor .of the paper. Hut meanwhile ho achieved considerable success in the publishing businessmany of the works issued by Childs & Peterson being of intrinsic excellence, among them being “Dr. Alii tone's Dictionary of English and American Authors.” Other standard works were brought. out in profusion. In lMi. Mr. Childs retired from the firm and tho following years, witnessed the consummation of his cherished ambition—he Nvas the owner of the Philadelphia Public Ledger. True, when he acquired control of the property tho Ledger was uiireniuntjrative; but soon after his energy, his ehtm-priso'-and _ his determination to ‘make it succeed won him abundant success. The Ledger sprang suddenly into public favor and lids continued to this day the most profitable newspaper in Philadelphia, and, indeed, one of the best paying in United States. At Iris own expense Mr. Childs caused a Stained glass window to lie placed in Westminster Abbey in commemoration of the poets, William Cowper and George Herbert, and ho also caused a monument to be placed over the Jmtherto unmarked grave of Leigh Hunt in Kensal Greeu. Jle rendered a similar service to jhe memory of'.Edgar Allan Poe, and wup the largest subscriber to the fund collected in this" country by Gen. Wilson and in England by Samuel C. Hall for tfic purpose of placing a momortal window for the poet Thomas Moore in the church in Bromham, where Moore and “Bessie” are interred. In 1808 he gave to the Philadelphia Typographical society the printers' cemetery, Woodlands, with a liberal sum, the interest on which is to be expended in keeping the grounds In order. Mr. Childs took an especial Interest in the printers, and nowhere will his death be more deeply deplored than in the composing rooms. It was well that ho should provide a resting place for the printer after death, but he did tet'er—made provisions for such of them as became unequal to the struggle for life. In company with the late A. J. Drexel, of Philadelphia, ho endowed the Printers’ home at Colorado Springs, Col. They gave $10,00!) to start tho fund and the Typographical union made up the remainder by assessments, providing for the maintenance of the home in like manner. The holiday season was tho most delightful portion of the year to him. for it was then ho hud the greatest opportunity for giving. His employes received a Christmas gift of from 510 to ssoo > Jn their pay envelopes Christmas week. J. Mr.'Childs artt'ri buted bis success to the fact that he always attended to his own busincis and never interfered with others. He had two proverbs which were tho guiding rules of his conduct. Gno was: "Do your best: let go the rest” Theothorwas: “What can’t be cured must be endured.” Another secret of his success was the care he gave his men. Those who worked honestly and faithfully for him always received more than their stipulated salaries. He always gave them every encouragement to mako them successful. He watched their personal habits. If they were not inclined to save he tempted them to become economical by making good investments for them, so that they were obliged to save in order to carry pn the Investment. Asa rule all of the employes of the Ledger who have familcs live in houses of their own bought and paid for by Mr. Childs, who, in return, has only received back the printipaf advanced. He insured tho lives of all the principal men of his paper and paid the premiums himself. Some of the leading men in his office have such insurance uDon their lives to the amount of $25,%)0. This kind proprietor watched more carefully after the interests of those under him than the average man looks after himself. He paid them all good wages: he lodged them In the most luxurious of quarters: be never made an over-de-mand upon their attention; he insured their lives for their families: he bought them homes and established them, and when they were broken down with the steady grind of their daily work he sent them off for a vacation with their families and puid the expenses of these families as well as their own. When they became old and broken down in his service he retired them upon full pay. N?> man in the United States in ag unofficial capacity ever had a wider or a more intimate acquaintance with great men than Mr. Childs. His friendship for Gen. Grant was most notable. particularly when the general met with the reverses which hastened his death. Mr. Childs’ private office in .the Ledger building was little less than a museum, the exhibits being mementos of the many great men in literature, art, statecraft and war who esteemed him as a friend or benefactor. It was a great blow to th? owner when (Ire destroyed the Ledger office, and with it most of these treasures, and the whole country sympathized with him. SPOONER FOR PRESIDENT. Chairman Carter Says the Wisconsin Man Will .lie In the Race. New York. Feb. s.—Hon. Thomas C, Carter, chairman of the republican national committee, was asked if the northwest would present oa candidate at the next republican presidential convention. “ Well,” replied the ex-congressman from Montana, “the friends of cx-Senator bpooner, of Wisconsin* speak of him as a strong- candidate who is thoroughly identified will the interests of the northwest His name will no doubt receive favorable consideration.”

A Family Laxative. Physicians are not inclined to recommend self medication to the laity. Yet there is one need which they are almost unable to supply. We refer to the “family laxative.” The lamily physician is able ta prescribe for tho most complicated and obscure of maladies and yet is often puzzled to know Just what to give when asked for a remedy which can be kept in the house for family use as a laxative, that shall be effective, free from danger, and not unpleasant to take. When absent on our summer vacation we were asked by four different parties, representing as many families, wnat wo thought of the “Syrup of Figs.” Notone word did we volunteer on the subject, and we were somewhat surprised to find that there was this small token of the very general use of that preparation. These parties said they derived more benefit from it and found it more pleasant to take thanany thing of the kind they had ever used. The simple question with them was, is it a dangerous compound? We informed them that its active ingredient was a preparation of senna, and that it was entirely free from danger. With this assurance they volunteered the information that they shpuld continue to keep it in the house. The therapeutical properties of senna are so well known that comment on this seems unnecessary. It might be well to notice, however, that Bartholow says it is “a very safe and serviceable cathartic,” and that it is “highly prized as a remedy for constipation.” He also -makes the important observation that its use “is not followed by intestinal torpor and constipation.” The sifcpie truth of the matter is, we have altogether too few preparations which we can recommend to our families as effective laxatives. But the California Fig Syrup company has one of the most desirable combinations for this purpose with which wo are familiar. The Fig Syrup company gives to the profession tho composition of this preparation, therefore thero is no secret about it; the persons who use thislaxative speak in the highest terms about it; and we are pleased to notice that a largo number of physicians arc prescribing it. Viewed from tho narrowest and most selfish standpoint tho physician will lose nothing by recommending such a preparation as Syrup of Figs to his patients; while viewed from tho highest standpoint of doing the best possible by those who place themselves in our care, we would say the profession cannot do better than give their indorsement to such a preparation.—American Analyst.
