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 a perfect lax
alive; effectually 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
news, 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 we'll informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

DECISIVE ACTION TAKEN
THE POLICE OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK ARE RID OF ALL ANXIETY.

By General order of Chief Conln Read at
 Midnight no Member of the Force Is
 Obliged to Belong to Any Organization or
 to Contribute to Any Fund-Protection by
 the Commissioners is Promised.
 New York, Sept. 3.-The anxious con sideration which the police board has given the rumored formation of an or ganization designed to fight the efforts of the reform commissioners to reor- ganize the force resulted to-day in de- cisive action.
 By general order issued by Chief Conlin and read in the various stations at midnight all members of the force were informed that they were not ob- liged to belong to any organization or to contribute to any fund whatever, un- less they choose to do so, and they were warned that any contribution to fund raised for corruption purposes would be punished by dismissal from the depart ment and would be further liable to land the officers contributing in jail.
 On the other hand, the protection of the commissioners was promised to off cers against any petty persecution on the part of their associates or superior officers should they refuse to contribute to any such fund, should an attempt to raise it be made.

LADY LUNA HID HER F4CE.
The Eclipse Last Evening Plainly Visible
 in Clear Sl<y-In the Shadow Four

The Eclipse Last Evening Plainly Visible in Clear Sky-In the Shadow Four
 Hours.
 The second total eclipse of the moon this year occurred last night. The moon entered the shadow at 1110 and kept getting dinner and dinner until 1215, when it appeared to be entirely covered although it was visible in the outline and appeared like huge chin- csc lantern hung in the heavens. Short ly after o'clock it began to emerge from the shadow and was entirely vis- ible at 8 o'clock this morning. It left the penumbra soon after o'clock The previous total eclipse last spring was but imperfectly seen here owing to the cloudiness of the sky, but last evening everything was suspicious for a perfect view of the entire overshadoWing and on meeting an acquaintance on the street the first question asked by near ly every one was, Have you noticed the eclipse?" The shadow made its first appearance on what is known as the eastern limb of the satellite The first phase, the penumbra, was not vis- ible. in fact never is, and the first visi- ble phase was the entrance into the shadow. The interest in lunar eclips- es is almost entirely phenomenal and curious, and not much in the way of scientific value is gained from observa- tory observations.
