c<l^Bß^ KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement Und tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live better than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the’needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleasant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneCcial properties of a perfect laxative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and । met with the approval of the medical I profession, because it acts on the Kid- j neys, Liver and Bowels without weakening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all druggists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not accept any substitute if offered.

Mrs. Margaret Treadwell, of Milburn, Long Island, in an interview had with her on the 24th day of May, 1895, said: “Two years ago I had the Grippe, and since then I have neyer been real smart. Nothing that I ate seemed to set well on my stomach. I ain’t been much of a band for doctoring, but I tried different kinds of herb teas, but they didn’t seem to do much good —Catnip was the best, but I got kind of set against that. One day a lady asked me if I would try some of her medicine—Ripans Tabules she called them. They seemed harmless-like, and Richard he took some too, and whatever they are made of I don’t know, but they beat all the herb teas, aud we ain’t felt so well in years. We work on the farm all day now and eat our three regular meals, and all kinds of victuals seems to agree with us. My advice is, don’t bother with herb teas when you can get these Ripans Tabules, and don’t hesitate, as I did. about taking them. They won’t hurt you. (Signed) “MRS. MARG’T TREADWELL."

; IT GOES TO CHICAGO. DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION TO MEET JULY 7. ' b ; World’s Fair City Wins on the Twen-ty-ninth Ballot—St, Louis Defeated by Two Votes—Gotham Gives the Lake City Her Strength. Location Is Named. The Democratic national convention trill be held in Chicago July 7. This conclusion was reached by the committee in session at Washington after twenty-nine ballots had been taken and the struggle had gone on until well toward midnight. Starting in with but six votes, Chicago steadily gained in favor until she won the prize. At one time the number of votes cast for her was but four. Nevertheless her fitness in location won rhe fight for her. “It was a pure question of geography," said one of the most prominent Eastern Democrats and a member CHAIRMAN IIARRITY. of the committee. There was no bluster, no buncombe speech-making, no noise of any sort in favor of Chicago, says a Washington correspondent. She won the fight purely upon her merits, and after the individual prejudices of the members in favor of other cities had given way. The detailed vote on the final bailot by States was: CH ago Connecticut. Florida, Idaho, Illinois. Indiana, lowa, Kentucky, Maine. Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska. New Hampshire. Now York, North Carolina. Oregon. Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Da kota, Tennessee, Vermont, West Virginia. Wisconsin, District of Columbia. Alaska.

William I*'. Garrity of Pcnnsylva nia. Bradley B. Smalley of Vermont. E C. Wall of Wisconsin and others prom: nent in national or State affairs, ail voted | for Chicago. The understanding is that the Chicago | delegation will be expected to have acer ‘ titled chelk for s4o,<*W ready for t ie ex ceutive committee when it arrives in Chi- , eago three weeks hence. 'Dus will be I turned over to the committee, with the j keys to the convention hall, and then the Chicago delegation will slop down and ! out ami leave the entire management of j the convention in the hands of the national committee. There is to be no appointing of ser- ' geant-at-arms or other officers by the Chi- I cago people, and no claim for large num- • bers of tickets with which the convention . hall can be packed. Everything is to be ‘ left absolutely to the national committee, i It is expected that that committee will j allot a certain number of tickets to the i Chicago people, but how many or upon ! what terms has not been decided. The ('hicago delegation was quite willing to i leave that matter in the hands of tht national committee, content with getting ; the natouml convention and prefru.m*-!-place tic.- responsibility" for its manage-1 ment in the hands of that organization,: and thus avoid any criticism as to mismanagement, such as has been made ! with reference to a former Democratic convention held in that city. After the location had been decided upon the committee promptly took up the question of the date for holding the convention. and the issue was soon sharplydefined by two motions, one to hold it June 2 and another that it be held July 7. The vote resulted 32 to 18 in favor of July 7. Can Handle the Crowd. Chicagoans claim that no other city in the country can furnish anything like the facilities for handling the crowds that ^company a national convention as well as can Chicago. To obtain hotel accommodations it will not be necessary for 'isitors to sleep on cots in hallways nor In chairs in reading and smoking roiAus, and the transportation facilities from the center of the city to the likely convention hall are a“mple. According to the following table forty-three hotels are ready to accommodate over 15,000 guests, besides taking care of their regular patrons: Alabama Hotel 150 Atlantic Ashland .......... 100 Auditorium 7*. 1.000 Brevoort 600 (

Graceful Backdown Projected in the Venezuelan Mutter. Aside from the leisurely manner in which the enezuelan commission is arranging to prosecute its work, there are other indications, says a Washington correspondent, that the administration has become convinced that this august body will not have the honor of settling the great boundary dispute. While it cannot be stated positively that this belief is based entirely upon any specific reports from Ambassador Bayard upon the subject, yet there is reason to believe some assurances of a satisfactory nature have come to the State Department that the matter will be terminated shortly, probably within two months or before a report can reasonably be expected from the enezuelan commission, and upon lines that will lie unobjectionable to our government. M hile details of the arrangement are not obtainable, and perhaps have not yet been fixed, it is believed the Ixisis of it will be arbitration as proposed originally by the I nited Stales, but with a limitation that will suflice at least to save British pride and appear to maintain British

| eon»i*teney. This is likely to be found in : an agreement between Great Britain and • \ enexuela directly. brought about through i the good offices of a third party, not nes- ' escirily or probably the I uited States, to . submit to a joint eonuni-sjon the question ; of the t’le to all territory west of the > - ■ » .i j in the nurse of the inquiry of the com's mission evidence appears to touch the j British title to she lands lying to the east- । wan! of that line the body may extend its | fumdirms to adjudicate such title. This arrangement will meet the British j contention that the original arbitration ‘ shall be limited to lands to the westward | of the line, while still conceding the jusI tice of the contention of Presaletit Clevej land that the lands on the other side may properly be taken into eons.deration in * fixing the boundary. Possibly a snpplc- ' meixtary arbitration will be left to deal • with the question as to the title of the ! eastward lands, if the original commission i dealing with the matter shall find that the title to the lands is a lit s ibje, t for arbii fration as shown by the evidence produced before it. — re—ww At the Budapest millennial exhibition j next year there will be another steel tower like the Eiffel tower, but 1,625 feet high, | instead of 975. j English tradesmen are indignant be- ■ cause the dried potatoes, carrots and turnips provided for the Ashaute. expedition were ordered by the Government in Germany.

Foreigners who are not bachelors of arts or science are to be excluded from the Paris medical schools, as the laboratories are overcrowded, and even enough subjects for dissection cannot bo obtained.
