B«r S ths _/} The Kind You Have Always Bough* Bignatsro .// of A Fortunate A»«a»stn. Luccbeni, who murdered the empress of Austria and who is imprisoned for life in Geneva, has apparently no reason to be dissatisfied with his lot. His place of confinement was closely inspected a few days ago by a correspondent of the British Medical Journal, and he found it not only spacious, but comfortable, the assassin’s so called cell is No. 94 and is a large room, lighted by an ordinary window, through which the sunshine comes for several hours daily. The room contains, among other things, an elec tric bell and a supply of excellent books. As for Luccheni himself, though some "hat pale, he is quite healthy and happy- He has the privilege of walking for one kour daily in the courtyard of the prison, and the only drawback is that he cannot have any companion during this walk. Besides the room already described he has a comfortable bedroom with a win dow which is rather small, but which has ® southeastern aspect. * 'There is noth about this room or the other to re mind one of a prison, for, though they sre under the street level, they are nev ertheless quite dry and airy. If the sto ries of Luccheni's early life are true, there was certainly many a year when he did not fare as well as he is faring now.

O Broughton, the well-known Baptist minister of Atlanta, in hie , sermon last night made a severe attack . upon Mayor Woodward, of that city, ■ in which he said : “The time has come when we must ■ ‘cry aloud’ against certain of our public officials, and I want to speak to you of the head official of our city govern ment. It is known to most of you , that I have always been ashamed of our mayor. I have eaid this repeated ly, and now I repeat it with increased emphasis. “I openly fought his election. I did it on the double ground that ha was the representative of the whisky ele ment and of all the other elements of high-handed corruption and vice I opposed him because he was impure and personally unfit for this high office, the highest in the gift of the people. “Time has proven my position—that I was a faithful diagnostician. Ido feel that the time has come when some one must speak of these things, and although it is distasteful, I look upon it as a duty that some one 'cry aloud’ against this shame. “Yes, I am ashamed of our mayor. Our mayor is a libertine. Our mayor is a sot. These facts are all known to the council, and need not have me to declare them. “The time has come for council to act. There is not a single decent man in the city, in my judgment, who does not repudiate our mayor and desire bis impeachment. “I submit that our community has suffered long enough at the hands of such an official. Our integrity and our honor is too much at stake. We have already lost caste. How long, oh, how long must we suffer before some member of council is patriotic enough to act and rid us of this stigma, and lift from us this awful cloud? “These are bold charges, but they j I are true Let the man dare to open iris lips in denial, and I will next Sun day night prove them where I now! stand, upon this platform. "Fully one-third of his lime since he tfegan bis administration has been I spent under the influence of whisky.] I These charges can be readly establish- | led. They are known ail over the conn ] try. Men have spoken of the conduct' of our mayor while I was on the train, ] j and they have said that it was a shame j that this community had to put up I with such a mau, and all that 1 could | | say in defense of our city was ‘amen.’ j “Ask the members of the committee who vo t with him to Washington if I he was not beastly drunk on that trip, I and if it was not known? Ask them I if there was not a worse and more dis graceful occurrence on that trip of] which I cannot make mention from] my pulpit. “This stigma to our community is known all over the city and is talked about all over the country. Our may or baa been lor a whole wesk—a whole week, on a drunken spree. The police, the detectives and the city council know these things, but nothing has been done. Let the council take hold I of this matter. “We must have relief; else our city will be brought to greaier disgrace. What man in the council will have the good name of the city enough at I heart to call for the impeachment of] so unworthy an official? I believe it I will be done. There are good men in - that bully and with many of them Ii have talked, and they stand ready to apply the ax l» the root of the tree. “Personal y I am not anxious for the | task, but if no one else will do it, I stand ready to go before this body as ; an humble citizen, armed with the be lief that I am in the right and that I ] have the decent people of the commu* | nity with me, and demand hie im- ] peachment and removal from this; high office. ’’ ■ THE MODERN BEAUTY Thrives on good food and sunshine, with plenty of exercise in the open air.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 19, 1899. GOLD FROM KLONDIKE 1 Miners Say the Season’s Yield Will be S2O 000,000 Seattle, Wash, June 19—The steamers Farralon and Alki from Skagway bring news from the Klon dike to May 25, and also the first con signment of gold dust for the season, amounting to $50,000. The first steam er through by the chain of lakes arriv ed at Dawson on May 23 with a con signment of fruit, which was gathered in by the hungry crowds. The lower Yukon isopen to Behring Sea, and the river steamers are experi encing no trouble in getting through. The clean-up on all the creeks is in active operation, with plenty of water . and an abundance of gravel, assuring big returns. The Eldorado and Bo nanza are turning out better than last season. A hundred miners are busy from the mouth to the source of those streams Dominion and Indian creeks have big dumps and Hunker is making a wonderful record. On Dominion the largest nuggets have been taken out, some exceeding $l5O in value. The Canadian officials began collecting royalties from the miners on May 1, letting none escape. Miners returning on the Alki report good luck and say that every boat coming byway of the lakes and St. Michael will bring out gold. None estimate the output at less than $20,- 000,000 for this season. Col. Steel of the Northwest mounted ] police has discovered evidence of an organized band of highwaymen who intend to attack gold trains bound ; from the creeks to Dawson and escape ! with the treasure to pie American side. ; He has been unable to locate the band ] who are biding in the bills. To defeat t them be has detailed soldiers to go to ■ the heads of the various creeks and i furnish an armed guard to all miners ! desiring to bring out treasure. ] Bismarck’s Iron Nerve Was the result of his splendid health. = Indomitable will and tremendous energy | ’ are not found where Stomach, Liver, Kid- H neys and Bowels are out of order.

Reflections of a Bachelor A woman likes to have a man the way she likes to have him without any reason for it. Not one woman in a thousand ever did anything but scare a man to death in her bathing suit. It wasn’t that Eve ate the apple, but that she put on clothes that made Adam begin to wonder about a lot of things. No mariied woman ever feels that a man’s friendly relatione with another married woman can be quite as inno k cent and harmless as they arc with her. When a woman wants to find out what you think about a man, she asks you about all his friends, and thinks you are a fool if all your answers are! not abaut him.—New Y ork Press. S '<l- W7 ite.- An Excellent Combination. The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, Syiiup of Figs, manufactured by the Cai.ifoknia Fig Syrup Co.', illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxa tive principles of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa tive, cleansing the system effectual!} - , dispelling colds, headaches and fevers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub stance, and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative. In the process of manufacturing figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by a method known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. In order to get its beneficial effects and to avoid imitations, please remember the full name of theCoropany printed on the front of every package. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.
