The colored sojer has a con
tempt for the Spaniaid—because
the bull lighter can’t even shoot
“crap.”
President Guggenheimer, of
the New York Council, who in-;
trod need the anti swearing ordi
nance now in force there, has
received an anonymous letter in
which the writer says: ‘ You
are a—of a good fellow and a—
good cook. Inclosed find $2
for my fine.” Mr. Guggenhei
mer is famous as a clam baker,
which explains wn.it the un
known correspondent says re
regarding his ability as a cook.
Hobson is a brave man but
not wreckless. He took in the
Merrimac, but reluaed to bring
a license when challenged by a
Kansas girl. He knows when
he has enough, even though
Spaniards include him among
the “Yankee pigs.”—Albany

And now it is the Du hess of

A St. Louis uncle has married
his nephew’s widow. According
to family tree experts, this
makes the uncle his own nephew
and his wife, who is also his
neice, her own aunt. —St. Louis
Republic.
The Denver woman who sued
her husband for divorce says
his “love has melted.” This
conetraius the bachelor editor of
the Cleveland Leader to think
that she made it too hot for him.
The Miles style of proclama
tion is of the very latest cut,
warranted to give perfect satis
faction to the people for whom
it was made. And is bull-high
if not pig-tight.
The tax returns for 1898 from
thirty three counties show a
decrease of more than $500,000
in property valuation, as com

So far the prohibition cam

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FKiS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it ia
inanu fact tired by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Srnur
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 advance of all ot/ier 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 naaie of
the Company

Don Carlos pretends that he
ia too chivalric to order a rising
in his own behalf while Spain is
in such great distress, but how
does he ever hope to gain the
throne until his distracted coun
try has reached the last stages
of desperation?—Chattanooga
News.
Coming from the Boston
Globe, this statement has double
force and appositeness : “Per
haps if Gen. Lee had not been
so good a democrat he would
have been assigned before now
to a responsible position at the
front.”
The Cork Examiner declares
that Admiral Sampson was born
in County Limerick, Ireland.
This must be an error, for no
Limerick Irishman would delib
ately rob a fellow officer as
Sampson has done Schley.
Porto Ricans have a happy way
of adapting themselves to their
surroundings. They never rebelled
against Spain and now their only
trouble is in securing enough
American flags to run up over
their towns and cities.
Speaking of patriots, the re

If as a power Spain is to be

then she is out-of-sight.
The bicycle hasn’t done any

It is regrettable, but neverthe

Impetuous Teddy Roosevelt has
made a mistake in drawing invid
ious comparm hi between his Rough
Riders and other State troops the
difleienso is only a difference of
selection and equipment. Picked
men who had learned to ride, and
who were better arine ' and inured
to the hardships f t war. ought to
bi able to give a I ett«r immediate
account of themselves than un
trained volunteers.
but somethii g can be forgiven

for his Rough Riders'it was ashame

The army contractors are
growing rapidly wealthy. It is
claimed that the hay contractor
pays sl2 50 per ton and sells all
he can buy to the government
for $25 per ton, while the politi
cians who have the contract of
supplying the army at Chica
mauga with about 60,000 loaves
of bread per day,sell the same at
5 cents per loaf after having
sub-let the contract at 2 cents
the loaf. The army contractor,
the members of the navy and
the other millionaires of the
country seem to be “doing very
well, thank you.”
Two or three American men*
of-war may be sent through the
Suez canal to re-enforce Admi
ral Dewey’s fleet. Should the
Oregon be one of the vessels or
dered to the Philippines, as i»
hinted, her new cruise would be
a remarkable supplement to the
voyage of that battleship around
the South American continent.
Returning later to San Francis
co, the Oregon would have
made the most wonderful cir
cumnavigation of the waters of
the world achieved by any man
of-war in naval history.
Speaker Reed predict* with pat
