An Interesting Story-
The Olympic Theatre tonight will
bave'Hoyt’s greatest play up to date,
“A Texas Steer." It is the play io
which Hoyt took the greatest pride,
because hie wife had the leading fe
male role in it. The author traveled
with the company when he could get
away from New York, and on occa
sions assumed the role of Brassy Gal',
the member of the- third house. The
lamented death of Mrs. Hoyt left a
Vacancy in the original company,
which has been filled the last two sea
swe by Katie Putnam, io whom Mr.
Hoyt has fonnd the ideal
"A Texas Steer” cannot help but
amuse every American citizen wbo has
any sense of the oddities of our politi
cal system, which makes it possible for
the biggest ignoramus in the land to
land in congress. The playwright has
said some sharp things about our glo
rious institutions, and bis philosophiz
|og on office seeking cannot f^ii to be
of deep interest to the great American
public today.

What Present McKinley Said to the
General Assembly.
When President McKinley aroae to
address the general assembly, of Geor
gia Wednesday, no one anticipated
bis speech. So when he deliberately
yet feelingly, gave voice to fraternal
sentiments no unequivocal, coming as
they din froto president—« repub
lican once a federal officer—hie listen
ore were for a moment swept from
their mental fo&ing. Confederate vet
erans—many of them members of the
legislature—broke into tears, and a
volcano of applause followed.
President McKinley said ? “Section
al lines no longer mar the map of the
United States. Sectional feeling no
longer bolds back the love wo bear
each other. Fraternity io the national
anthem, sung by a chorus of forty-five
states and our territories at homo and
, i
beyond the seas. The union is once
more the common altar of our love
and loyally, our devotion and sacrifice.
The old flag again waves over us in
peace with now glories, which your
sons end our sons have Ibis year add
ed to itasacred folds. Whet cause we
have fur rejoicing, saddened only by
the fact that so many of our brave men
fell on field or sickened and died from
hardship and exposure, and others re
turning bringing wounds and disease
from which they will long suffer. The
memory of the deed will be a precious
legacy, and the disabled will be the
nation’s care
“A nation which cares for its dis
abled soldiers, as we have always done,
will never lack defenders. The na
tional cemeteries for those who fell in
battle are proof that the dead as well
as the living have our love. Whalan
army of silent sentinels we have, and
with what loving care tbeir graves are
kept! Every soldier’s grave made du
ring our unfortunate civil war is a
tribute to American valor.
“And while When those graves were
made we differed widely about the fu
ture of this government, these differ
ences were long ago settled by the ar
bitrament of arms—and the time has
come in the evolution of sentiment
and feeling under the province of
God, when in the spirit of fraternity
we-sbould share with you in the care
of the graves of the confederate sol
diers.
“The cordial feeling now happily
existing between the north and south
prompts this gracious act, and if it
needed further justification, it is
found in the gallant loyalty to the un*
ion and the flag so conspiciously
shown in the year just passed by the
sons and grandsons of these heroic
dead.
“Whit a glorious future awaits us
if unitedly, wisely and bravely we face
the new problems now pressing upon
us, determined to solve them for right
and humanity.”

God’s Blessings for 9s. 9d-
A few days age one of the registrars
of Lambeth advertised the fact that
marriages would be performed for 9
shillings 9 pence at the registrar’s
office, says the Pall Mall Gazette. Now
the vicar of one the parishes of Isling
ton has reduced bis scale of charges
for the solemnisation of marriages at
hie church In the current issue of
mom lily record, published recently,
the reverend gentleman ..makes the
following announcement:
‘ The vicar gives notice that mar
riages will, for the fytuie, be solem-J
nixed at St. ’• (provided that one
of the parties to the marriage lives in
the pariah) at a cost of 9 shillings 9
pence, inclusive of the cost of the
banns. Hitherto the fees have
amounted to J. 6 shillings 6 pence.
Tbs reduced fee is exactly the same
as that charged for marriage by the
registrar. Marriage is sacred. Cbrist
tiau people ought to bo married in
church, where prayer ought to be
made, and the blessing* of God pro
nounced. It shell not be henceforth
in St. ’a pariah that any go to the
registrar’s office simply because it is
cheaper Children of God shall not
be asked to pay extra for their Fa
ther’s hleuing. In future 9 shillings
9 pence will cover all coat.’"

THE DOCTOR IN WAR.
Elk* T*et *t Coaraere Wte*»- I
•v«w VaS«r Wire. I
The London Lauoet baa an article
about the bravery of surgeons under
fire. The Lancet’s article is about Brit
ish surgeons. It applies in so far as its
anecdotes go to them, but in its general
terms and its comments it applies to
all. We have never read of a surgeon
quailing under fire or deserting hie post
in a pasta, and what ia a great deal
more we have never heard of a sur
geon quailing before a hospital or de
serting bis poet, though yellow fever,
smallpox, typhus or cholera threatened
his life and surrounded him with Its
horrors. There are many well authen
ticated stories of the courage and devo
tion of our army dooton in the field and
hospital. The latter is the much more
trying to courage aqd fidelity.
The excitement of battle goes far to
keep a man at his work, even should be
be disinclined for it The long dreary
watches of the hospital, the hard and
thankless round of duty, the hourly
scenes of horror and possibly the dis
couraging absence of proper assistance
and support from the administration of
the army are what try a doctor’s nerve
and test his fortitude and patriotism.
We do not know why they stand the
test so well—better apparently, on an
average, than those whose trade it Is
supposed to be to faoe death and danger.
But the fact remains that they do, all
honor to them!—San Francisco Report
The Modem Mother
Has found*that her little ones are Improv
ed more by the pleasant Syrup of Figs
when in need of the laxative effect of a
gentle remedy than by any other, and that
it is more acceptable to them. Children
enjoy it and it benefits them. The true
remedy, Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Company only.
Dean Swift and John-
“Look ye, man, why haven’t you
cleaned and polished my bools?”
asked Dean Swift of bis eccentric ser
vant, John, at a tavern where they
bad just passed the night.
‘‘What’s the use of polishing snob
things?” asked John, doggedly, as be
hold up the boots, discolored and gri
my,
“Very true,” said the Dean, and
without farther protest be put them
on. Then be went to the office and
gave orders that John should have no
breakfast. He partook of bis own and
directed' the , boatier to saddle the
horses end lead them to the door.
"Mercy!” cried John, when be
found the dean ready to start. “I
haven’t had my breakfast yet.”
“Ob,” replied Swift, "I can’t see the
use in you breakfasting; you would
soon be hungry again.”
John could think of no answer to
such on unexpected application of bis
own sophistry, so he maintained a sto
ical silence.
They mounted and rode on, the
dean in advance reading his prayer
book, and the servant following at a
respectful distance.
“Hark ye, my man,” said a stranger
whom they met, after be had ob
served the two closely, “you and your
master seem to be an uncommonly
sober pair; may I ask who you are
and where you are going?”
“We are as near saints as we can
be," replied John, solemnly, “and we
are going to heaven, I hope. My
master’s praying, and I’m doing ttq
fasting.”

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Brnur
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Csy y
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
Which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe, nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—

THE KIDNEY
The pale, sallow, sunken-cheeked, dis
tressed-looking people you so often meet
are afflicted with “Kidney Complexion.”
Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip
color. So is their complexion
They may also have indigestion, or suf
fer from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neu
ralgia, brain trouble, nervous exhaustion
ana sometimes the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney disease
does not find out what the trouble is until
it is almost too late, because the first
symptoms are so like mild sickness that
they do not think they need a medicine or
a doctor until they find themselves sick in
bed.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root will build up
and strengthen their weak and diseased
kidneys, purify their diseased, kidney
poisoned blood, dear their complexion
and soon they will enjoy be ter health.
You.can get the regular sizes at the
drug store, at fifty cents and one dollar, or
you may first prove for yourself the won
derful virtues of this great discovery,
Swamp-Root, by sealing your address to
Dr. Kilmer A Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for
a sample bottle and a book that tells all
about it, both sent to you absolutely free
by mail. When writing kindly mention
