There was a very large and we'll
pleased audience in the Congregational
Church last night, to hear Rev. Henry H.
Rice describe 1.-The White City" He did
so in great detail-not ali of the fair, for
second entertainment is necessary to
cover the ground. Mr.. Rice evidently
had his eyes wide open and his under
standing sharpened when he visited the
Worlds Columbian Exposition. He is
thus enabled now to talk for nearly two
hours of what he saw, and to do so inter-
estingly, holding his audience i'll wrapt
attention. But the beauties OF architect
ure and exhibits so charmed him that he
is led to indulge over-much III eXclama-
tions of wonderment, so that his attempts
to convey to his hearers an idea OF the
buildings and their contents, too often
culminate in the exclamation OF adJec-
tiVal incapacity to accomplish the task.
But aside from this enthusiasm he gives
his hearers great amount OF lnforma-
ion and better idea of the buildings and
grounds, Of decoration, art work and the
exhibits OF nations, than one can gain
from books or other printed descriptions.
For he has the powerful assistance OF
the finest views ever shown here. We do
not RECALL any just so clear, strong and
altogether handsome. Next to visit to
the fair we should say stands the oppor-
tunlty 10 VleW these greatly enlarged
photographs, thrown upon the screen by
a very fine and eXcellently handled
stereopticon. In second lecture, to be
given Friday night, ,N1r. Rice will COM
plete this pictorial trip about the exposi-
ton, which will include pictures OF the
State and foreign buildings; of many in
terror views in main and foreign build
ings; views in the Midway Plaisance;
views Of the grounds from lofty nights,
and views of the scenery en- route home.
Mr.. Rice took occasion to compliment
Sacramento, where he lived many years,
upon the happy changes he noticed and
the great improvement that has been
made in all directions throughout the
city, which works are rapidly bringing
her up into the front rank of progressive
cities. The lectures Mr.. Rice is deliver
ing, he says, are not for his personal
benefit, but in aid of the improvement
fund of his church in Oakland.

Capital Lodge, knights of Pythias,
Entertain Their Friends.
Pythian Castle Hall was filled last
night with an assembly in strong con-
trast to that composing the convention
the night before. the ladies being out in
force and gay colors entwining the hall.
The occasion was concert and enter
tainment given by Capital Lodge,
Knights of Pythias. and an attractive
programme was prepared and carried
out.
The opening address by J. II. Liggett
was a very interesting one and the pro-
gramme was encored from beginning to
end. The violin duet by Misses Edna
Johnson and Rebecca Levy was finely
rendered, as was the whistling solo from
''Trovatore" by the latter. The vocal
solos by Mrs. Hawley, Mr.. Crocker,
Mrs. Thorp and Miss Clinch were thor
oughly appreciated, Charles Neale ac-
companying the latter in flute obligatO.
Miss Hattie Noteworthy brought down
the house in comic recitation, and the
instrumental solo by Professor Dunster,
the harmonica solo by Mr.. Whittier and
the guitar and mandolin duet by Misses
Iva Hughson and May Glenn were all
that could have been asked. Miss Ida
Clinch, Mrs. r. II. Hawley and Miss
Bella Johnson were accompanies.

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 worlds 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 perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t 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 SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

While the crowd at Fourth and K

last evening, half-tipsy individual
treated a knot of listeners to TRADE
against the Democratic chieftain.

He was apparently about to explain
why Dan wouldn't sell out for a dollar
and half when boy cried "Rats ~ and
the orator broke through the crowd to
get hold Of him, at the same time drawing
d big jack-knife and swearing he'd cut
his heart out. Officer Alter caught the
excited speech-maker by the arm and
took the weapon from him.

nice it would be if our friends would put
some of this fruit into their wagons when
coming to the city and give 1t to the
Protestant Orphan Asylum at Eighteenth
and X streets. Do not think that because
there are $50 of these hungry waits you
would not have enough for taste, for If
there were only few pounds it would be
canned and saved for them.
My attention was called to this subject
by the following incident: A few days
ago | carried some fruit to child and he
asked to save some tor friend, because
he found three prunes on the walk yes
terday and he gave me one whole prune

Here is chance for some of our kind

fuse it to these parentless children?l

Runaway Chinawoman,

There was a big crowd of jabbering
Mongols at the depot last night when the
$40 train arrived from San Francisco.
The magnet that attracted them thither
was the receipt by one All Bien of a tele-
gram from San Francisco to look out for
a woman who had run away owing a
large sum of money.
1t was, of course, the usual dodge to
get hold of some poor female slave who
was fleeing from her owner. The chattel
did not come, however.

The taxpayezs Of Honey Island

Be subdivided among every school

allotment remain intact and be per-
mitted 10 accumulate, BY subse-
queot allotments, until such time q
the patrons thereof shah see at to
use the same. Il will thus be an
easy matter for each locality to
know exactly what fund they have
to their credit, and they can gov.
ern themselves accordingly. In
this manner . good deal Of annoy
auce can be saved to the direc-
tors, which cannot be the case under
