It isn’t just any farmer who

It’s now in order for Queen

The dude at the front is a

Continued rains, and not war

Aguinaldo proposes to boss

Shafter, if be has read the

The Kittery, Portsmouth and
York Railroad Company is mak- '
ing money hand over fist over
the presence of the Spanish
prisoners at Kittery, N. IL, its
earnings having gone up to
nearly SIOOO per day. “The gov
eminent is vety strict about let
ting any one on the island,”
said a representative of the com
pany to an interviewer the other
day. “The cars and boats of our
dues which pass there are not
allowed to come to a standstill
near, but they do run mighty
slow as they go along there, and
give the passengers all the show
there is to get a glimpse at the
prisoners. ”
A New York surgeon of a statis
tical frame of mind says that the
expensss of palatial Sr, Luke’s
Hospital are so heavy and 'he in
terest on the investment is s >
large that the inmates, say 2500
for one year, could be boar led at
first class hotels and attended by
the best of doctors and nurses at a
considerable annual saving. St.
Luke’s is the costliest institution
of its kind in New York, and it
has an endowment fund of nearly
$1,000,000
Porto Rico’s export trade aver
ages about $16,000,000 annually
and the island’s yearly im orta
tions are about $14,000,000, The
Chicago Times Herald expresses
the belief that “under the foster
ing influence of American push
and enterprise a far larger share
of this trade will come to the
United States than we heretofore
have been able to secure even
with the aid of reciprocity treat
ies.”
The citizen* of Madison, Ind.,
do not appear to take kindly tu
the employment of female conduc
tors on the street cars. The fact
that the move has deprived as
many men of situations as there
are girls employed is not looked
upon with favor by the people, es
pecially as many of the new con
ductors are not compelled by their
circumstances to perform manual
labor for a living .
There i- a sentimental resist
ance in Madrid to the surrender
of Porto Rico, the contention
being that the island has always
been lopal to the Crown. Spain
is having a dream. The cordial
reception which greeted the ar
my of invasion shows that Por
to Rico is ready to b» off with
the old love and on with the
new.
A revulsion of feeling favorable
to the Spanish dynasty has set in
it was started by a natural sym -
pathy for the little King who is
sick with the measles. Au eruption
of the epidermis of a boy may save
a crown, even as the midnight
cackling of a gander once saved
imperial Rome.
Miles can write about as smooth
a proclamation as Napoleon Bona
part ever wrote. Miles had every
reason to believe that Porto Rice
wou'd be an easy mark, or be
would not have been brash about
lambin in on that peace loving
island.
Garcia will have great trouble
in holding his men in the moun
tains to which he is said to have
indignantly withdrawn. Those
men have tasted American grub
and know there’s more where
that came from.—Houston Post.
General Miles made a landing
where there was a big road run
ning plumb through Porto Rice.
He doesn’t intend to take any
chance on tearing his Jubilee uni
form by marching through the
jhaparral.
The French legion of honor
has struck Zola from its rolls.
As it had already struck honor,
too, it is supposed that Zola will

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the cure and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the Califobmia Fig Sybup
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 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 the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in ad’ tinee of all oilier laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor

the Company
