The better clags of droggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians’ prescriptions and Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances.

Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try tosell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. sometimes have the name—* Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package.

SNWo0D5(0- 740 Market Street * SENATOR [SES VIGOROUS WORDS Nelson Startles the Solons at Washington in a Speech Upon the Needs of Alaska WASHINGTON, April 18.—“All this have they done, Mr. President, and in return we have not done a d-——d thing for them.” This was the amazing remark made by * Nelson in the Senate to-day. He was talking of Alaska. The state- ment was a surprise to all present, ap- parently as much to the speaker as to his audience. There seldom has been as spontaneous an outburst of laughter in the Senate as the exclamation pro- voked, Nelson joined in the merri- ment, though with many evidences of embarrassinent. His only apology was the remark that “‘sometimes adjectives | came from the heart,” and with that he closed his speech. The conference report on the army appropriation bill had been read, and the discussion turned on the need of wagon roads in Alaska, Nelson say- ing that there was not a single road | in that Territory, and Teller asserting | that if $500,000 could be spent in the building of such roads there would be a rich return in the increase of gold production. Messrs. Proctor and Quarles said that it had been impos- | sible to secure more than $25,000 from the House conferees. Nelson predicted that within the next generation Alaska wouid have a popu- lation of a million. He related many details of his observation in Alaska while visiting the céuntry as a mem- | ber of the Senate committee, and aroused much interest as he told of its resources, the hardships to which the gettlers are subjected and the little that had been done for the people. He grew especially zealous in his pre- sentation of the-production of precious metals, furs, etc., and his zeal in this connection was scarcely exceeded by the indignation he exhibited as he de- picted the niggardliness of the Govern- ment in dealing with the Alaskans. At last, completely forgetting himself, he uttered the vigorous remark which startled the solons and Created the merriment. 25 The House to-day passed the last of the supply bills of the Government, the general deficiency measure, in the evening. The comntest was a party one over the deficlency appropri- ation for pensions, which the Demo- crats tried ineffectively to amend by incorporating as a law the recent ex- ecutive age disability pension. An ef- fort was made by Moon of Tennessec to secure an aye and no vote on his amendment as to the age disability or- der, but the Speaker refused to recog- nize him for this purpose. > k +On a pro forma motion to recommit the bill the Democrats, angered by the Speaker’'s refusal to recognize Moon, secured a Follcall, but after the vote had been taken all further opposition ceased and the bill was passed. This afternoon Hitt offered his Chi- nese exclusion bill, introduced Saturday, as an-amendment to the general de- “| of New York are absolutely essential to Demo- after al stormy session which lasted until 8:15 | NEW YORK DEMOCRATS ARE 'PLEDGED TO "CAST THE VOTES FOR PARKER f— e Continued From Page 1, Column 7. cheered loudly, but not for long. Mr. McCarren moved the adoption of the platform and Senator Grady offered the following minority amendment: The Democraty of New York believe that the result of the Presidential election mnow pending involves the very existence of con- stitutioral government in this country, and in such a grave crisis it has no favor to ask of the party in the nation except the privilege of serving. That this service may be most effective the delegation here elected is lett free to take such action at St. Louis as a ma- jority thereof may consider likely to in- sure the success of the cnnqms selected by the national convention. Realizing, however, that the electoral votes cratic_success, we submit to our brethren throughout the country that Alton B. Parker, a Democrat in the prime of life, has been elected by a majority of more than 60,000 to the chief position in the judicial system of this State, and during the last six years has discharged the duties of his high office with such unvarying dignity, ehining ability and scrupulous fidelity - that if his term were to expjre this year he wouyld undoubtedly _be chosen to succetd himeelf by the concurring votes of all his_ fellow-citizens. “On behalf of the minority of the committee on resolutions,” continued Senator Grady, “I present this supple- ment to the resolutions on fnstructions, there being no opposition on the part of the minority of that committee to | the unit rule.” Senator Grady went on ta argue in favor of his amendment. “I take it,” he said. “that the only purpose of this convention is to assure that New York shall make its contri- bution to national success.” REFERENCE TO TAMMANY. This was received with vociferous applause. He challenged any friend of. Judge Parker to find in Tammany's position any lack of appreciation of | that able jurist. “We ask to meet the question next July,” he said. “We all have'in mem- ory times when conditions changed between April and July. Moreover, wa believe this will comport better with the Chief Judge of the Court of Ap- peals. An instructed delegation 1is never a very edifying sight. It usually carries very little weight to favor a candidate because you were ordered to do so. How much better to act on the basis of mature and conscientious judgment.” Senator McCarren then took up the cudgels for the other side.. He began by saying that the smallest boy in the gallery did not believe a word that Senator Grady had said. Instantly pandemonium broke loose. | Mingled cheers and hisses rose and fell | for fully two minutes before Senator McCarren could proceed. He said: Senator Grady does not believe what he said himself. His absurd argument will not | for a moment deceive any intelligent man in this convention. If you think of what Senator Grady proposes you will see- that 1 am justi- | fied in saying that it is not intended to ap- | peal to the sincere, the honest and falr mind | of any delegate in the convention, 2 He has told you that an instructed delegation is not always a good thing. Instructed dele- gations in 1884 secured the nomination of Grover Cleveland: in.1888 an instructed dele- gation secured his renomination; an instructed delegation in 1900 secured the vote of the delegation from New York in favor of Wil- liam J. Bryan, so that I can only say to you here as a delegate that no true friend of Judge Parker would have the information €o forth from here to-night that New York has failed to instruct its delegates to St. Louis. Senator Grady has toid you that something may occur between now and July. Nothing will occur to make Judge Alton B. Parker any less the available candidate that he is now. We know that there is not a candidate before us to-day except Alton B. Parker with any chance of election. As the friend of Judge Parker we must enlightén the other States of the Unicn that the Democracy of the State of New York, either my unanimous or majority vote, has expressed itself in favor of his elec- tion of the only available (:nndldnl1 that the United States has to-day. SPEECH OF COCKRAN. Congressman W. Bourke Cochran fol- lowed in a ringing speech. He said: Senator McCarren seems to have addressed himself to the smallest boy in the gallery. I address myself to the largest man in the con- vention. = You shall decide between us. The minority resolutions state why, as I understand them, why Judge Parker might be the best and most available candidate for the Presidency that the Democracy can name. The majorify of the convention give no reasons whatever why Judge Parker should be pre- sentéd to the convention. The minority aska that this convention send a delegation to St. Louls prepared to discuss the interests of the party from the standpoint of its own welfare. The majority desires this delegation to Eo to St. Louls and ask for a favor at its hands. The majority wishes to go to St. Louis and ask that Judge Parker be nominated to obligs us. The minority thinks that we ought to o there and give reasons why Judge Parker should be nominated in the interests of the | Democracy. J Now. in the Interests of the Democracy and of the candidate, this plap be consummated the inevitable de- duction will. be that the Dpmoeratic party can not agree on anything: that it has adopt- ed here a serles of platitudes and then p) Céeded to recommend a candidate who will stand for anything or nothing? Now. the minority has a higher opinion of | Judge ‘Parker than those gentlemen who pro- fess to be his friends seem to entertain. We believe that on his record he may and very likely will be the strongest man that the con- ventign can nominate. We don’t believe that we should load down Judge Parker with the political hopes and aspirations of any man or set of men. We believe that in our minority report we have given reasoms why, if condi- tions do not change he should be nominated by the convention at St. Louis. Senator Hill arose in the Albany dele- ' gation amid wild cheering and sug- | gested that the vote be taken by coun- ties. This was agreed to. The New York amendment was lost—141 to 301. The platform as originally reported was adopted by a viva voce vote. This list of delegations, alternates and Elec- tors was read and adopted, and the | | neav State committee was announced. This weel is understood, as chairman. A resolution was adopted that the State committee be authorized to fill any and all vacancies that may occur in the list of Presidential Electors and Electors at large. At 10:30 the convention committee will organize next adjourned | without day. BITTER FIGHT OVER 4 CHILD Father of Little Girl Seeks Court’s Aid to Wrest Her From Parents by Adoption CHICAGO, April 18.—To prevent the removal of his eight-year-old child, Alice Catherine Dagg, to Portland, Or.. William Dagg has begun suit here to annul a decree of adoption. At the time Dagg’s petition was made to-day the custody of the child was being contested for in another court here, Mrs. Catherine Cannon, her foster mother, demanding the child’s care, the demand being opposed by Dr. and Mrs. J. F. Williams. When the mother of Alice died, four years ago, the girl’s father was thought to be near death from a critical ill- ness. At that time Joseph Cannon, with Dagg's consent, adopted the child. Six weeks later. according to Dagg's petition, the Cannons left the child with Dr, and Mrs. Williams, where she has since spent most of her life. Instead of dying, as was expected, Dagg recovered, returned to work and for nearly two years has been paying Williams for the care of his daughter. Mrs. Cannon, who had removed to Portland to care for an aged mother, recently returned to Chicago and de- manded her adopted daughter from the Williamses, but was rafused, the latter declaring she had abandoned the child. The little girl is an heiress to a $20,000 estate left her by Dr. Cannon, .the husband of one of the persons contesting for the possession of the child. . ————— Arabs En Route to St. Louis.

There the quali- | fications are the ability to read and | write English, accumulate property to the amount of $300, and they must! pay a poll tax. The illustration drew | forth applause. Dr. Abbott said that government is a divine organization and the con-| scientious and jntelligent -are to lead | the nation. He wondered what Crom- well would have said of Americans who declare that they do not care for poli- tics. o MEN WHO DO NOT CARE. It meant, said the doetor, that those | who make the utterance do not care for their fellow men. Any American, he said, who does not take an interest in politics is not the best citizen, a sentiment that again elicited much applause. There are, said the doctor, about 70,- 000,000 in the land and the largest Presidential vote s 12,000,000, which means that everv man has a vote for five people, and besides that the voter is a trustee just as much as Edward of England, or the President, or any man in Congress. He considered that the man who will not sacrifice a day or an hour in or- der to take a share in the ruling of this Government has no right to call him- self an American. The power with which the declaration was made fairly aroused the great-as- semblage, which applauded again and again. Dr. Abbott then turned his attention to the country’s responsibility to other nationalities, during which he spoke of the Filipinos, a people that had fallen under American sovereignty and a people for whom America had become responsible. The doctor told of what might have been done as regards them. They might have been left helpless, turned over, as some oneg had advised, to Japan; or they might have been robbed of their territory or left to work out their own destiny. AMERICA'S HUMANITY.

Jackson, a teamster, pleaded guilty in Judge Lawlor's court yesterday on a charge of bigamy. Jackson has not yet attained his ma- jority and owing to his youth and other circumstances, the Judge re- leased him on probation in $500 bonds. Jackson had lived with Annie Mec- Clain for more than a year and at her request he consented to marry her. After the ceremony he left her on the understanding, he said, that she would obtain a divorce from him. A few months later, on December 17 last, he married Miss Mabel Nut- ting -and was living with her when Miss Carmelita McClain, the sister of his first wife, swore to a warrant for his arrest on the charge of bigamy. Yesterday the first Mrs. Jackson told the Judge that she would at once apply for a divorce and Jackson prom- ised that as soon as the law allowed he would again wed Miss Nutting. —_————— ‘Will Examine Medicines.
