If we could trade the Philip pine Islands to Great Britain for the Bahamas and Jamaica, after acquiring Cuba and Porto Ri’a, we would possess the greater portion of the West Indies. — Americus Times-Recorder.

The Terrell county Democrats will give Col Candler an ovation when he speaks in Dawson next Saturday.

The administration is taking a mean advantage of Bryan ’and Lee, whom admiring Democrats have spoken of as possible pres idential candidates. Instead o giving them a chance to ad military reputations to their civ ic celebrity they have been sent to Florida to fry and bake and run the chance of fever. The latest report is to the ef fect that CoL Beelzebub Satan has bought a new hammock and is now “taking it easy” while he brushes up on modern Spanish This report doubltess came via: Mole St. Nicholas as, at last ac counts, that point still had a cable connection. Perry S. Heath, first assis tant postmaster general, and representing a compamy of cap italists, will be authorized by the comptroller of the currency to establish the First National bank of Honolulu, with a capi talization of $150,000.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the oare and skill with it is nianuf istared by scientific processes known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon a'l the importance of purchasing the tru and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Jj'igs 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 Cali 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 tbe Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all laxatives, as it nets on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken in' - them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate. In order to get its beneficial effects, please remember the name of the Company—- CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. LomaVILLF. ’ ’•KW YORK. N. Y. ——- ■ "■ . The Sparta Ishmaelite says Schley made the Spaniards smoke even if their powder was smokeless. Poor old Spain ! She discover ed us 400 years ago, and only dis-covered our ability on and since May Ist. No battle in the Mexican war cost the American army as long a casualty list as that of July 1 at Santiago. At Monteray and Uerro Gordo the American loss was 500 each, and at Beuna Vis ta less'than 800. - ■■■-- - The wife of Stanco Uwaniwitch. the chief of a band of gypsies near Chicago, is s-.ing him for divorce on the ground that he. chains her to a bear. Most women who obtain divorces claim they been chained to bears “You and ail like you will get all the lighting you want before this war is over,” said Maj.-Gen. Brooke the other day to a young officer who was la menting the fact that he had not yet been sent to the front. De.vew says the Filipinos are litten -to govern themselves than are the Cubans to do a similar act on their own 1 island. Dewey has established a reputation for knowing what he says as well as doing what he sets out to do. Rome has not developed a fish story or a snake yarn this season. Is it possible that our local liars iave joined tbe Mole St. Nicho las syndicate? We knew they were eligible but had no idea their ambitions set in that di rection. One Chicago thief’s specialty is stealing clocks. The police want to lay their hands an him and make him do time, but have not yet been able to run him down. Its to be hoped his wind up will cpme and with the state’s watch and chain he will find that he is no langer a hunting ease.

Makes water pure and clear for sale by The Hanson Supply Co The Spanish prisoners who were taken to Portsmouth, N. IL, and put in a prison camp at Seavey’s Island, were very much surprised when they were not taken there to be shot. They ex pected death, and when they found they were to enjoy a com fortable camp, with inatresses and clean blankets, and with the privilege of moving about the grounds, there - was a happy surprise. These poor devils never heard ol such treatment to sol diers, especially prisoners of war. o o o Last Monday Secretary Alger issued orders attaching the Hawaiian Islands to the military department of California. The First New York volunteers, Col. Barber, commanding, will be assigned for the time being as the garrison at Honolulu. Gen. Otis has charge of the transpor tation of the troops to the island. o o o The administration seems de termined to stand by its pet, Sampson. It can’t get out of giving some recognition to Schley for winning the victory at Santiago, and so it is going to make him an admiral.- But Sampson must be made an ad miral too —because he didn’t win a victory. o o o This is a good pointer from the Denver Republican : With the Alfonso XII, destroyed on the coast of Cuba and the Alfon so XIII burned up in the harbor of Cadiz, the young King Alfon so ought to change his name be fore a brick falls on him. O O O Among the novelties to be ex hibited at the Paris exposition in 1900 will be a monster horn, nearly three hundred feet in diameter at the large end, and of proportionate length. No less a lung power than that of a Kansas populist will be required to blow it. o o o A shoe manufacturer with a head for figures has calculated that the hides of the following number of animals would be re quired yearly to shoe the whole population of the earth, so far is known : Cattle, 245,881,384 ; goats, 90,084,548 sheep, 25,- 482,000 ; horses, 30.520,000, and kongaroos, 25,000,000. o o o At a convival gathering of widowers recently held in Berlin a beer seller, whose wife had just died, remarked that her coffin had cost him S6O. A man ufacturer of coffins happened to be present, and said that he could furnish as good an article for sls; whereupan the beer seller replied that he would take a thousand at that price. The manufacturer took the matter seriously, and sent the coffins, together with a bill for $15,000. The court before which the case vas taken held that the order was given in fun, ami did not constitute a valid contract. o o o Greenville, Miss., has a new ifficial, whose entry upon a career of public usefulness is thus noted in a local paper: “Henry 11. Obanon has been appointed Justice of the Peace to succeed his father, the late D. B. Obanon, Any one wanting to be married or any other busi ness in his line give him atrial.” o o o Russia Is experimenting with / the I’orto Rican’s turn to hear the Vesuvius cough. giant searchlights mounted in’ balloons and containing burners ! connected with dynamos’ upon I the ground. The largest of these yet reported is of 5000 candle power. At a dista ice of 600 yards above the earth it will il luminate a circular area SGO yards in diameter to the bright ness of day. 000 Joseph Leiter’s father calcu lates that after paying out the young man’s indebtedness, there will remain $y,000,000 for the family. It is to the old man’s credit that he came to his son’s rescue and made vast sacrifices of the wealth he cherished. And the average man would suppose that Mr. Leiter might have most of the necessities and some of the luxuries of life with $9,000,- 000 left. Mr. Leiter has felt obliged, howeyer, to abandon the Newsboys’ Mission, which he had kept going with contri butions of $12,000 per an num No peace propisitions from Spain which do not include the indepence of Cuba, the annexa tion of Porto Rico, and the abso lute freedom of the Philippines from all European domination, will be acceptable to the Ameri can people, The administration which concludes a peace with Spain on any other basis will sign its political death warrant. The Toledo, Ohio, Evening News has evidently been study ing the war revenue bill. It says : “How nicely ail the reve nue stamp tax is shifted by the corporations onto the producers and the business public. How was it done? Dead easy. The railways, telegraph and express companies, and the like had representatives in congress. The people had a few, but they were in a hopeless minority.” Col. James Hamilton Lewis, member of congress from the state of Washington, who has been identified with the militia for many years, and now hole’s the rank of colonel, has offered his services as a field officer in the volunteer army. Col. Lewis is an American of the bold and resolute type, and assigned t<> duty will not disappoint his friends and admirers.

With Garcia bolting from the free-grub counter, it looks to us as if the second blackberry crop of Cuba must be ripening. ADMINISTRATOR’S SALE.
