FIGHTING BOB EVANS
Admiral Evans has conoluded his
ca-eer It appears. The announcement
comes in a fl ish message received at
the miment of cologr to pre?s last
evening. Admiral Evars has resigned
and liear Admiral Sperry has taken his
place at the head of the great fleet.
The resignation of Evans was forced
upon him by ill health. Ho has not
Ven in bt*d? suffering from rheumatic
tout? since the fleet left Trinidad,
awav round on the east coast. His con
dition is serious there being
symptoms of bright's diseas- and he is
to go ashore when the fleet reaches San
Diego, and from there be sent east in a
Pullman accompanied by physicians.
Of course it is a pity to be cut out by
a case of gcut just at the time be was
occupying thj most conspicuous post in
the history of the day's doings. But
tie admiral is for' unate, on the other
bind, to have had the opportunity to
do this thing before his certain fate
overtook him. He will now go into
history as having accomplished some
thin*. There is no dcubt in the world
tbat Admiral Evans would have ac
quitted himself as well in a tight as be
has upon this frolic. But It is rather a
curious thing to note that the appella
tion of Fighting Bob, of which he, of
course, has oeen proud, did not come of
fighting? of which he has done some ?
but of a dec ared disposition to do so on
the occasion of a row in a South a ? ?
lean port.

ENGLAND'S TROUBLE IN INDIA
Dispatches from London make the
declaration, founded on information i
from the foreign oftlce, that there is a
systematic organization all through
India to throw off the British yoke,
The plans for the general uprising
were at first made for the fiftieth anni
versary of the sieges of Lucknow and
Delhi ia September last, but the
natives felt themselves unprepared
with funds and not sufficiently drilled
to enter upon a long. and serious cam
paign: therefore the aggressive open
icgofthe great movement was post
poned.
It has been discovered that the plot
ters have maintained headquarters in
London for many years, and that they
have emissaries ia many other capitals.
The plot is said to embrace many dis
tinguished rajihs of great wealth, and
the movement to be of immensely wide
ramifications.
The reports received are to the effect
that the convictions for treason have
materially s'reogthened the asitation,
and the recent strike bas been taken
advantage of as showing the ease with
which the natives could take possession
of the ra'lroads. The failure of the
crops and the spread of the plague is all
put down to British domination and in
tolerance.
It is a pitiful alternative that New
York offers for the pitiful scandal of
Raymond Hitchcock. If it shall appear
that the Gerry society, which is back
of the prosecution of the well known
actor, bas done so without the facta to
warrant, or in a spirit other than a
straight desire to punish wrong and
offer an example to others, suborning
young girls to testifying falsely in such
a case, a greater wrong and shame bas
been committed by an organized society
than e\en Hichsock was cha-ged with
?and that w> s thought to be the limit.

To what extremity must we have
come when St. Patrick's day cornea acd
goes and no more attention is paid to it
than the placing of a bright sun in a
clear sky and the service in tho church.
Alas it was not always so. Not even a
broken bead or an allamard left.
The presumption is that, havin r told
us the story of the conviction of those
official robbers in the state bouse deal
in Harriet urg, the wire will trail a'oog
tomorrow with another of the speedy
action of the supercedeas to their re
lief.
THE MINT
What! out of senseless nothing to
provoke
A conscious something to resent the
yoke
Of permitted pleasure, under pain -
Of everlasting penalties, if broke!
What! from his helpless creature be
repaid
Pure gold for what he lent him dross
alloy'd?
Sue for a debt he never did contract,
And cannot answer? Oh the sorry
trade!
Oh Thou, who didst with pitfall and
with gin
Beset the road I was to travel in,
Thou wilt not with predestined evil
round
Enmesh, and then impute my fall to
?in!
Ob Thou, wbo man of baser earth
did'st mike,
And ev'n with Paradise devise the
snake:
For all the sin where with the face of
man
Is blacken'd ? man's forgiveness give ?
and take!

LAUGHTER ANALYZED.
The Observations of a Man With a
Sensitive Ear.
'"Of course you have beard." said the
man with a sensitive car, '"a laugh
that Jarred. I dou't mean." he contin
ued. "so much a laugh at an Inoppor
tune time? 1 imagine we have all heard
such laughs? as a laugh the quality of
which is unpleasant. There is some
thing contagious in laughter of the
right kind, even though you may be
the object of it. It bubbles from the
well of good humer. There Is no hid
den thought, or -arriere pensee.' as the
French say, behind It. It Is the es
sence of frankness; It Is spontaneous
and whole souleii, and It cleanses the
system of the laughter and. too. of the
bearer, like a spiritual bath.
"But there are other kinds of laugh
ter. The sneering laugh Is perhaps the
most familiar. Then there is a quiet
laugh, a sibilant, secretive sort of laugh
that is quite ns certain to mean mis
chief. Another laugh, disagreeable In
Its nature. Is the high pitched, nervous
cachinnation that comes either from em
barrassment or Is a mere vocal habit.
The worst laugh of all. however, to
my mind. Is that mirthless sound pro
voked by the distress or embarrass
ment of others, and It rasps naturally
most of all the object calling it forth
A person laughed at and hurt never
forgets the experience." ? New York

'It Is always refreshing." says a
Cleveland lawyer, "to hear of an at
torney who will not undertake a shady
case. I know of at least one such, a
lawyer in Toledo.
"At one time a chap in business In
that town known to be practicing ques
tionable methods sought to retain the
Toledo lawyer and was smoothing over
his crooked conduct as well as he
knew how when the attorney astonish
ed him by exclaiming:
" 'I think you have acted like an in
fernal scouudrel, sir!'
" 'Is there any charse for that opin

Truth and
Quality
appeal to the Well-informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which il acts without any debilitating
after effects and'without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts arc known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine ?
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
