ORDER! WORK! TONE!
We believe in our work: that the field of education is one of the broadest deepest
And grandest in which man can engage and especially that which pertains to the prac-
ucaland useful every day life.
Success in every business whatever may be the natural talent Is always the. re-
ward of industry and pains. I Incision energy courage and earnestness insure success.
Young man! Secure an education. There are thousands of youngmen now living
In obscurity who possess the ability to achieve honorable and conspicious success if
they would place themselves in fortune s way.
While ambition 1.4 not the only quality requslte to success men rarely almost nev-
er .succeed unle:s 1 ley possess it and in a large degree. If you have an ambition to
take a prominent part'in the practical affairs of the world In any department you
must strike out at once. Hoping for.and dreaming of success you will not wlo it.
Action effort and push will to a certainty.
Wo live In an age noted for Its rapid strides in all that pertains to material pro-
Ri'oss. Our people are. ever growing more and more practical In their tastes and (nodes
M thought Ediiealional methods and processes must adapt themselves to this grow-
ing tendency. Even tlio old Grook philosopher when asked what boys should study
otto"!' ’’'‘Plied: "That which they should practice when limy become men.” Hou-
e’t mil hopefulness brains and a resolute will are all that we need.
I eophi no longer ask the question "Wliat do you know?” but “What can you do?"
We must lie educated and know how to do something. Therefore practical education
“ thu very thing needed to-day to win the battle of life. Money paid for an education
s not an expense but an investment.

KNOWLEDGE
Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many who live bet-
ter than others and enjoy life more with
less expenditure by more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the needs of physical being will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas-
ant to the taste the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax-
ative ; effectually cleansing the system
dispelling colds headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid-
neys Liver and Bowels without weak-
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug-
gists in 50c and $1 bottles but it is man-
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only whose name is printed cn every
package also the name Syrup of Fir.
and being well informed you will not
accept any substitute if offered.
A Friend
Wishes to speak through the Registered
the beneficial results he has received
from a regular use of Ayer’s Pills.
He says: “I was feeling sick and tired
and my stomach seemed all out of order.
I tried a number of remedies but none
seemed to give me relief until I was in-
duced to try the old reliable Ayer’s
Pills. I have taken only one box but I
feel like a new man. I think they are
the most pleasant and easy to take of
anything I ever used being so finely
sugar-coated that even a child will take
them. I urge upon all who are
in Need
of a laxative to try Ayer’s Pills.” —
Boothbay (Me.) Regitter.
“Between the ages of five and fifteen
I was troubled with a kind of salt-
rheum or eruption chiefly confined to
the legs and especially to the bend of
the knee above the calf. Here running
sores formed which would scab over
but -would break immediately on mov-
ing the leg. My mother tried every-
thing she could think of but nil was
without avail. Although a child I read
in the papers about the beneficial effects
of Ayer’s Pills and persuaded my moth-
er to let me try them. With no great
faith in the result she procured
Ayer’s Pills
and I began to use them and soon
noticed an improvement. Encouraged
by this I kept on till I took two boxes
when the sores disappeared and have
never troubled me since.”—H. Chipman
Real Estate Agent Roanoke Va.
“I suffered for years from stomach
and kidney troubles causing very severe
pains in various parts of the body. None
of the remedies I tried afforded me any
relief until I begnn taking Ayer’s Pills

THE WORLD'S FAIR.
Special Correspondence to the Dem-
ocrat from Chicago.
World’s Fair Grounds )
Chicago 111. May 141893. J
Fifteen days ago this day saw the
opening of the World’s great fair and
mammoth exposition in the city of
Chicago. An event so stupendous as
to cause the boldest mind to pause in
the consideration of its probable re-
sults upon the future social industrial
and scientific progress of the world
in this and succeeding ages. Day by
day this colossal achievement of nine-
teenth century genius has approached
dearer and nearer to completion yet
even now the finishing touches are
lacking to make perfect this splendid
panorama of modern industrial pro-
gress. The fact that after two weeks
have elapsed from the date of the
opening upon which every assurance
had been freely given that all things
would be complete and yet things in
and about the fair are in a decidedly
unfinished and incomplete state has
given cause for much blame and al-
most universal complaint upon the
part of the visitors. In commenting
upon this state of things among other
items of general public interest the
Democrat's World’s Fair correspon-
dent writes as follows:
Guides to right of you
Guards to left of you
Uniformed men in front of you 1
Thus one is met as he is ushered
through the turnstiles at the World’s
Fair gates. There are guides to show
yon about the grounds and through
the buildings; guards to keep the
peace; boys dressed in light blue sell-
ing guide books; boys dressed from
tip to toe in bright red selling tho of-
ficial catalogue; boys in grey and yel-
low selling Chicago papers and the
Daily Columbian; custom officers let-
ter carriers telegraph boys and many
others who have official business all
wearing uniforms. One almost be-
comes bewildered until the title of
their office is made apparent by an in-
spection of their caps. Asa rule these
uniformed men and boys are polite
and courteous and seem to take pleas-
ure in answering questions.
The second week of the great fair is
numbered with the past and during
that time many results have been ac-
complished although much remains to
be done—much more than to have the
“finishing touches ’ put on. Some are
wont to complain because every nail
had not been driven and every door
hung on the stroke of twelve noon
May Ist and although the task set
was herculean in its scope still so
much should not have been promised
by the heads of the departments hav-
ing such matters in charge unless
there was some seeming prospect of
its being fulfiilled.
While perhaps many of us would
not have done as well under like cir-
cumstances still there is room for
complaint and just where to lay the
blame is perhaps not an easy matter.
The general public expect so much
especially in view of oft-repeated
promises made by the fair officials
that everything would be ship-shape
and iu order on the opening day and
from some cause said officials have so
forgotten their pledges that the long
suffering public are not willing to ex-
ercise the virtue of patience. Os
course we all understand (those of us
who have watched the rise of the
White City by the Lake) that the
building thereof required no ordinary
measures rather extraordinary ones;
and perhaps they have been taken but
we were rather in hopes that in respect
to the general finishing more would
have been accomplished so that in af-
ter ages liistory could point with pride
to the fact that the World’s Columbian
Exposition was practically complete
on May 1 1893.
All meet on the same level here; you
jostle perchance against some titled
foreigner or one his superior—an
American—and bearing no handle
such as “Earl” “Duke” or what not;
the hard working mechanic; those who
adorn and likewise disgrace the pro-
fessions of law medicine and of the
“cloth;” the sunbrowned sailer from
over tho seas.
The man of war and of peace all
come together on one common plane.
To the mind of many this fair will be
a great object lesson with much to
learn with their eyes for their teach-
er and many will make good use of
the opportunity. There are others
who having the time to spare and
necessary “wherewithal” to spend
will not embrace this chance. To one
who has bad a foretaste of what the
future weeks ami months promise it
can hardly be conceived that any of
the latter class exist. How many less
favored with time and means would
like to exchange places with them un-
til November Ist next.
A pleasant ride of twenty mlnuues
starting from the Van Buren Street
Station of the Illinois Central railroad
and running within full view of Lake
Michigan in cars built for this traf-
fic and over tracks used only for this
purpose brings one to the Sixtieth
street entrance of the fair. Trains are
now run on five minutes headway but
will be reduced to two minutes as
soon as tho patronage demands it.
There are many convenient ways to
reach the grounds but this is one of
the pleasant ones.
As ouc enters at this entrance
with the great horticultural building
just to his right he is apt to com-
ment to himself: “Well the com-
missioner of horticulture has certain
ly been good to himself” as he be-
holds the well-kept grass plat on the
West side of this home of flowers on
which the lawn mowers are making
their familiar summer music and he
repeats this thought as he wanders to
its eastern frontage.
These two immense grass plats
with their coat of green soft as vel.
vet appear to have been growing for
years instead of a few short weeks.
In the makeup of the grounds and
buildings Mr. Burnham and his aids
have accomplished wonders. The
lawns iu some other parts of the
grounds are not yet in so forward a
state; in fact in many places the bear
earth appears. But what is black
to-day will be green to morrow. How-
ever in this ease it is the reverse
order of things for although the
shoemakers' children go shoeless and
the tailors' boy’s trousers are patched
Mr. Horticultural Comtnissiouer has
seen that outside appearances about
his home are in keeping with the
springtime. As you turn to the
right on the east front of the last
named building you are confronted
with the sight of what was not many
months since a marsh overgrown
perhaps with cat tails but now con-
verted into a lagoon. A wall
of stone is built on one side of
this wandering sheet of water and
at frequent intervals there are
landing places where you cun hail
and take your choice between an elee
trie or steam launch or a gondola
manned by real live gondoliers im-
ported from Italy arrayed in pict-
uresque costumes as worn in their na-
tive land. For a few days after the
opening these gondoliers were dressed
like ordinary mortals and they had
to beg for patronage; since they have
assumed their rainbow regalia the
shoe is on the other foot
and a majority o( the passengers
are ladies. Perhaps this sort of
boating is suited to all seasons of
the year in Venice (and doubtless will
be popular here when the moon is full
and after a day of 90 0 in tho shade)
but just at present walking is more
comfortable. The bridges crossing
these waters are graceful and pretty
and look as though they had been
built to stay. .
The exhibits are not by any means
installed in their final resting place
and this is perhaps more noticeable in
the manufacturers’ building than else-
where. Boxes and crates are waiting
to be unpacked but much of this
work cannot bo done until the booths
for their reception are ready; the car-
penters however seem to be working
hard toward that end and each day
seems to bring its reward in much
being finished. The aisles in this
building are broad and spacious and
will accommodate many people with-
out crowding.
The grounds and buildings when
fully illuminated by electricity present
a sight never to be forgotton and al-
though the electrical exhibit at the
Paris exposition was flue such rapid
strides have been made in tills depart-
ment of science since that time and
such wonders have been achieved in
order to convince one of the truths of
this assertion a visit to the building
devoted to this exhibit is necessary.
Your readers from different states
who hope to fiud the buildings of
your own particular state all in readi-
ness to receive you and fully complete
will probably bo disappointed. There
ire many nails to bo driven saying
nothing about placing the exhibits
before your hopes will be realized.

LOGAN H. ROOTS.
His Resignation as Receiver of the
let Natianal Bank Demanded.
For once at least public confidence
proves not to have been misplaced
and in the demanded resignation of
Logan H. Roots as receiver of the
First National Bank of Little Rock
and in bis enforced prompt compli-
ance therewith the expected has in-
deed happened. The entire corres-
pondence between the comptroller
and Mr. Roots in securing the desir-
ed resignation while In uo wise vol-
uminous yet exceeds in length the
space we have to devote to it. Hence
we are content to reproduce the fol-
lowing extract from Comptroller
Echols' written demand for Co l .
Roots' resignation:
Washington 1). C May 13 1893.
To Logan 11. Roots Ltttle Rock:
After due and proper consideration
of all matters connected with your
trust and witli a desire simply to do
that which under all the circum-
stances will bring about the best re-
sults and relieve all in any wise inter-
ested in it from embarrassment or
criticism I have decided to ask of
you that you forward to me by tele-
graph your resignation as receiver of
the First National Bank of Little
Rock to take effect upon the qualifi-
cation and arrival of your successor.
James 11. Echols Comptroller.
To the above demand the following
reply was received at the Comptrol
ler’s office in Washington on yester-
day.
Hon. James H Echols Comptroller
of Currency Washington I). C. :
Yours notifying me of the accept-
ance of iny resignation and that ray
successor would lie here on Wednes-
day is at hand.
Allow me to thank you for reliev
ing me of a thankless and disagreea-
ble task and for the kindly words in
commendation of my stewardship.
Loo an 11. Roots.
Thus the Logan Roots receivership
rs numbered with the things (mistaken
things) of tho past. Tho new receiver
whose appointment and induction
into office will follow immeiliniely is
said to be eminently qualified for tho
duties of the position. His name as
yet has not been officially announced.
CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT.
The Chinese Government Threatens
Measures of Retaliation.
Tho stubborn reristance offered by
the Chinese residents of this country
to the recent stringent exclusion
measures embracing tho registration
law and others passed by the bint
federal congress have indicated all
along a stronger backing in the light
than could possibly be. afforded by
American residents of their race
aloue. That such backing could only
be received from one source the
Chinese Empire was well understood
but tho manner means and measure
of same remained to be disclosed by
Dr. J. S. Baldwin of New York who
spent twenty-two years of his life in
China as a Methodist Missionary and
who for the past quarter of a century
has been General Secretary of the
Missionary board of- the Methodist
Episcopal church which has large
moneyed interests in China. In con-
versation on this subject upon which
ho of all other Americans Is most
competent to speak Dr. Baldwin said
that he had positive Information from
dignitaries from Chinese and from
his own Chinese missionaries that if
the Chinese exclusion act. is carried
Into effect and the Chinese shipped
from this country to China deported
simply because they are hero without
having taken out certificates that the
Americans iu China will be likewise
deported from that country to the
United States. “If the law is declared
constitutional by the Supreme court”
he said “I anticipate that there will
ke a speedy exodus of both mission-
aries and merchants from China in
retaliation for our sending home the
Chinese from the United States. Sev-
eral years ago this course was urged
upon the Chinese government by one
of the censors who was supported in
the memorial by a number of prom-
inent officials. Li Hung Chang at
present viceroy of Chun Lee ami
Bhang Tung provinces a great states-
man of China whom Gen. Grant so
heartily admired Ims been very slow
to come to this view of the case and
very unwilling to relinquish bis friend-
ship for the United States. There arc
strong grounds for believing Unit tills
great statesman has at lust come to
the conclusion that the only way to
defend the honor and dignity of bis
own nation iu view ot these expected
ads of oppressive legislation on our
part. Is to enter upon a course of re-
taliation and treat tlio Americana in
Chinn hr the Chinese are treated iu
America. This is the most perilous
NO. 240.
I time in the relation of China to the
i United States yet encountered. It is
probable the Methodist church will
make an appeal to the Chinese author-
ities in case depotation is decided
upon in behalf oi the Methodist mis-
sionaries now station in all the pro-
I vinces.”

Blood Letting at Paris.
News has reached this city of a
tlifficulty which occurred between
railroad men at Paris Tex. in which
C. E. Hoss general roundhouse fore-
mnn in the Frisco yards at that place
caiue witiiin a hairs breadth of losing
his life at the bauds of one S.M. Allen
a locomotive engineer. The details
of the nearly fatal affair are stated as «
follows:
“It seems that about one month ago
a man came to this city from Missis-
sippi in search of work. He is a loco-
motive engineer and brought first-
class recommendations from his pre-
vious employers. C. E. Boss foreman
of the roundhouse gave him work as
an extra man. Friday night he at-
tended a ball and while there appear-
ed to bo under the influence of liquor.
Yesterday morning when he reported
for duty he was very much out of
temper lie ami Boss had some words
anti Boss avoided any trouble at the
time.
“Last night about 10 o’clock Boss
stepped out of the roundhouse and
was uuexpectly attacked by the man
who cut him several times with a
large pocketknife and but for a
memorandum on his inside right
pocket which was cut in two Bose
would have undoubtedly been killed.
Ah it was lie received a number of
serious wounds. Hoss is a member of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers which order fully indorsed
Ids action in discharging the man and
will do all they can to procure his
assailant's arrest and conviction.”
Young Lady Killed.
Another of those shocking acci-
dents which occur with alarming fre-
quency in every country where' dan-
gerous fire arms are brought into
general use for sport or practice has
just been reported as having occurred
at Era a small town twelve miles
southwest of Gainesville Texas on
yesterday. Tho details of the deplor-
able affair are related as follows:
A party of young people were out
on Spring creek limiting when Miss
Amanda liullett daughter of L C.
Hullett a well to do farmer whr acci-
dentally shot and killed by 8. F. Bot-
toms son of another farmer. Bot-
toms was loading n *22-calibre target
rille when it accidentally fired the
bull entering the left side of the
young lady. At the crack of the gun
Miss Hullett exclaimed “Ob my
God” and fell dead.
Young Bottoms was recently ap-
polnted by Oougressinan Hailey as
cadet to West Point.
During the Christmas festivities of
1891 Mr. Hullett had a sou killed by
the explosion of a piece of gas pipe
some boys had loaded with powder.
