"v New York, March 1.What may prove an epoch-making event in the rail road world took place yesterday in the "departure of the strange gas-electric car on its trip to the Pacific coast. It is the first time that a self-propelled com mercial car has attempted a journey of such length, and for that reason is looked upon as an experiment of im mense importance. William B. Strang, owner of the car, heads a party of officers of the New York Central lines. The route to be taken will be over the West Shore and Central railroads to Buffalo, thence to Chicago over the Lake Shore, to St. Louis over the Chicago & Alton, the Bock Island to Kansas City, and to El Paso and San Francisco by the Bock Island and Southern Pacific lines. It will not be lone before a steam locomotive in New York city will be a strange a sight as a coach and four with business intentions. Thus far only one line uses electricity for its' suburban traffic, jyet -plans now under way on nearly alf**the other lines bring close the day when smoke and smut will be things of a dirty past. Elec trification of steam railways marks the next great step in the progress of trans portation. PREPARING FOB NEW LINE tion PREACHERS ARE HIT Half-Fare Clergymen's Permits Will Be Hard to Get.

Speculation as to what cities will get the increased shop facilities, required by the Milwaukee toatl because or its' Pa cific coast extension is settled in part. West Milwaukee is to have the first extension, costing about $250,000.. This amount will be probably increased later Work will begin soon on.the shops. The Pacific extension1 will require at least 10,000 freight ears,' 250 loco motives and other rolling stock. Be tween $4,000,000 and $6,000^000 will be spent annually by the company in con struction of rolling stock. If it is all settled for Milwaukee, the force there will have to be increased from 4,000 to 6,000 men at once. The eapacitx of the wheel foundry will be enlarged from 185 to 400 wheels daily, increas ing the foundry force from 260 to 400 men.

Chicago, March 1.A 5-year-old buck deer that escaped from the compound in Lincoln park yesterday and fled down town by way of Clark and Kinzie streets and the State street bridge, caused a panic that .extended over three, miles* of the north side, bowled over and slightly injured three men, caused several run aways and was Anally caught by a cross ing policeman, thrown, hobbled and hauled back to the. park. JShere are two classes of remedies those of known qnal- ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony witfr nature, when nature needs assist ance and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting- tempo- rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing* the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of ="i! the remedies of known quality and excellence ft the ever ^V] pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Pig Syrup Go., which represents the active principles of'^ plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup. in which the wholesome California^ blue figs are used to con- 'f tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity'flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system "Tl gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti- pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi- ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of tepown quality and excellence,'* containing nothing of an objectionablPor injurious character* there are two classes of purchasers those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere- when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannpjfc expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the a^-^'iitf GenuineSynip*x manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.plainly printed oh the front of every package.

Miftdletown, Conn., March 1.Wee- leyan university sustained a severe loas by fire early today, when old Nortk college, containing 150 rooms, was prac tically destroyed. The-fire, which start ed in the attic, burned so rapidly that little was saved. The loss is placed at $80,000, covered by insurance. The burned building. was erected in 1827 and formed the nucleus of the present college group and was of great historic interest at Wesleyan. About all that was saved from he fire were the valuable college records of Presi dent Raymond and Professor Nicholson, the secretary of the faculty. All or the 150 students in the building made their escape And many left the dormito ry in their night clothes. *a OF UAUT m. Al Figs
