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

m-de-ay fame. There was q
threatened row over her song Mar
guerite, which she sings with wonderful
vim, but it does not promise to amount
to anything. even though A. NJ. Palmer
was one on the other end OF the dispute.
The rainbow" dance which she does in
connection with her song, is a great hit.
In conjunction with Miss Collins is Al

some singing. Ta-ra-ra was looked upon
az quite lively, but it seems that Miss
Collins thinks that Marguerite is
lively too, and dances it in that mood.
Chief among other talent which con-
poses the company is the equilibrist and
juggler, Severus Schatfer, OF the famous
Schaffer family of Vienna, seen in the
great spectacular America at the Audit
orium, Chicago, during the worlds fair.

the most remarkable strength. Fancy

Cling two plates with the other. That
is but one of the many tricks. But
probably nothing will excite more sur
prise than his trick with the burning
lamp. Standing on the top Of small
wooden block on the top OF a small de-
canter, which is placed on a wooden
pedestal, he places small lighted lamp
on the top of his head, and having
gradually worked it back to the back Of
his neck he bends forward, places one
hand on the little wooden block on
which he is standing, and gradually
raises his legs until his body 10 parallel

one hand and raising and lowering his
body as if he had not a joint in it, so
rigid does he keep it. He then reverses
the act, and removing the still lighted
lamp from his head jumps to the floor.

Three Cottages Destroyed by Fire Last
Night.
A fire occurred last night shortly after
O'Clock by which three cottages, Nos.
1922, 1926 and 1880 ON Hoover street
were destroyed They were occupied by
the families of H. A. Smith and w. H.
Pearson of the Southern Pacific, and Mr..
Rohannan, coal merchant.
The cottages were owned by 7. L. and
G. II. Toll, and were each insured for

cottage. He had built fire and gone
out, and while away the fire caught in
some unknown manner. The nearest
water plug was nearly half mile away,
but the chemical engine did effective
service, and the fourth cottage adjoining
was saved.
A young man named Bert Fsncher
met with most unfortunate accident
while attempting to cave some OF the

ANOTHER OPIUM SEIZURE.

Collector of Customs Osborne Makes a
Capture.
The second opium seizure in the last
month was made yesterday by Collector
of Customs H. q. Osborne. Forty-five
taels were seized at the Arcade depot.
The opium is valued at $3.50.
The drug was shipped from the north
to Tsue Chang Guen & Co., 502 Los An
gees street, through Wells, Fargo &
Co.'s express. 1t is supposed to be a
part of the consignment recently seized
by United States Marshal Gard at 4241a
Los Angeles street.
The opium was labeled with stamps
that had evidently been "swested" or
used before. This is an old trick of the
ceestiale.
The collector, Deputy Downing and
Inspector Schwannecke seafched the
store OF the Chinaman to whom the
illicit drug was consigned, but no more
opium was found. Yuen denied all
knowledge OF the shipment.

FOR TWENTY THOUSAND
FIRST NATIONAL BANK FILES AN
IMPORTANT SUIT.
Treasurer Fleming Refuses to Pay War

A suit for writ Of mandate was filed

much tragedy, and then follows a high
class comedy, which is a legitimate
laugh from rise of curtain until it falls
in the end all peace and happiness.
The Atlanta, Ca, Constitution, COM
menting upon Mr.. Hanley and his play,
says:
The reception to Lsvre Hsnley at
De Gives last night amounted to moth
ing short OF an ovation-a genuine and
well deserved ovation.
When an actor comes before an appre-
ciative audience like the audience that
greeted the talented Hanley last night
and plays part in which tragedy and
comedy is SO commingled that smiles
and tears come with rapid succession
and manages to catch q storm of ap-
plause on his first lines and win louder
cheers as the plot proceeds, then it may
be safely put down that he is an actor
of brilliant parts.
And that is what Lawrence Hanley
did last night.
The Player is just the kind of play
that brings fine acting out, and it fol-
lows that none but brilliant actor can
play it to the full satisfaction of art. 1t
opens with the tragedy of some stand
ard play-lsst night, for instance, with
an act from Hamlet-in which Hsnley
takes the title role. In this he won
last night tremendous applause, and
was interrupted with renewed cheering
at every climax.
The plot is extremely good and excit-
ing.
In the act from Hamlet the young
actor was at his best. He was the
actor that it takes to play Hamlet, and
that is saying very much. Handsome
and talented, he wac a Hamlet to dream
OF. He wore the costume of Booth
himself which was given him by the
eminent tragedisn when he used to play
as his leading support. He has many
other pieces OF costuming given him by
Booth, who always made sort of pet
OF Hanley, and expressed himself as
entertaining the highest expectation for
the young artist. Mr.. Hsnley's support
is good.

drama will have rare treat in the ap-
pearance of Edith Lemmert, who will
appear at the Los Angeles Theater Feb
ruary Goth and 2lst, with her talented
husband, Lawrence Hanley, in the great
New York success, The Player. Miss

A stranger in strange land, without the
assistance OF grand wardrobe or the
blazoning of newspaper trumpets, 30 to

seeking to play in the Shakesperean
and classic drama.

eastern cities with great success. In
Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, New Or
