tAIlln pettcf understanding OF tlt
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills. which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle eefforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
~ removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and Is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which il acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have TIE genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatiyes or
other remedies are then not needed. If
affiieted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
ply but If in need of laxative,

well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

Fire Scare.

The chimney on the south side OF the
Windsor hotel on South Ell Paso street
caught fire this morning at 9 o'clock,
from sparks out of the barber shop
stove. The fire department was quick
" summoned, and the chimney subject
ed to severe scrutiny. Lew Gasser
fired several buckets of the aqua down
the hue, and then Stanley Bevan
fished ten pounds bag of chloride of
sodium from the depths of his capacious
pocket, and poured the same with more
or less JUNCTION down the overheated
fiue. This did settle the business, and
the fire spluttered, spit and went out in
disgust under the 'sweet Influences Of
the chlorine gas.
The firemen then came down the
ladder, and got Charlie Kiefer to chalk
Off their names as being present on the
roll book, while the eXpressman who
had hauled number ones hose cart
over from Mesa avenue, smiled softly
to himself as he thought of three
dollars earned for five minutes work
Quiet was presently restored. and the
occupants of the hose went cheerfulIy
to work cleaning out that smutty
chimney.

REV. MIR. MOORE'S RECEPTION.
The Y. NJ. c. A. Rooms Crowded Last
Night by People to Welcome Him.

The enlarged rooms of the Y. NJ. G.
A. on San Francisco street were crowd
ed all of last evening by citizens ex-
tending the hand of an appreciative
welcome to Rev. H. w. Moore, the
new Presbyterian pastor. In fact
there were so many there that Secre-
tary Sloan of the Y. M. G. a. said he
''could not have stirred them up with
a stick" Fully five hundred people
passed in and out of the rooms to shake
hands with Mr.. Moore, and give him
| to understand by word of mouth and
by hearty shake of the hand that his
presence in Ell Paso was appreciated
and that his work was attracting wide
attention.
The reception was under the auspices
of the Ladies Aid society of the Pres
byterian church; they had the rooms
decorated as never before, and for the
time being the place was transformed
into a suite of elegant parlors. Rugs of
attractive design were spread over the
floors, large, elegant stand lamps were
there with Partisan opera hat shades
that were ''just too sweet for any
thing:' mistletoe and smilax were
spread over the walls and fixtures in
profusion, the windows were handsome
ly curtaiped, great fire that was
typical of comfort cast its genial
warmth from under the mantle piece,
the part Of the new gym" that was
used was fitted up with everything
needful for the occasion, and the re-
freshments were served from an ell
egantIy spread table. There was ice
cream, the most toothsome of cake in
variety of kinds and styles, while the
coffee was enough to put man s
stomach to sleep, and make him forget
there ever was such a thing as dyspeD-
sia. PitZer's orchestra furnished
acceptable music during the evening.
1t was a dressy crowd. Every man
was out in his best store clothes, and
every lady had on her very best ''bib
and tucker" The people were certain
ly as we'll dressed as those at any re-
ception ever given in this city, and
silks, satin velvet and broad cloth |
seemed omnipresent. 1t was q lively |
crowd, so that the wall flower intiic- |
ton was reduced to its lowest terms |

when he reached home the |
first object of his sollcitous search was
the arnica bottle wherein to minister

already feeling quite at home, and the |
chances are that he will remain here. |

and earnest Christians ever in this |
part of the country, and the Presbyte-
rian church is already so crowded |

A Pleasant Social.

The local order Of the Woodmen Of
the World gave social and reception
last night in their hall on San Antonio
street that was attended by about 150
people. The social was made the more
Interesting by a musical and literary
program which gave much pleasure.
The singing was particularly good.
The evening was concluded with the
practical appreciation of large table
loaded with tempting stables, so that
it was late in the evening before the
social was ended. The order of Wood
men in this city is hourishing, and the
membership is increasing each month.
The Ell Paso lodge is one of the star
lodges of the order.
The HERALD Office is in receipt of a
basket of cake, oranges and good
things, this morning from the tables of
good things dispensed last night by the
social of the Woodmen.

J. w. Hill and wife of Corsicana,
have daughter, May, aged 4 years,
who has forty fully OR partially
developed fingers and toes nearly all of
which, physicians who examined the
child say, have the usual number of
bones. One very long toe protrudes
from the upper part OF the left foot just
below the instep. Except for the feet
and hands no part of the child's body
is deformed. She is one of twins, the
other one of which was similarly de-
formed, but died when 3 months of age.
The child's parents are both well

A Chicago morning paper makes the
! following announcement: John D.
Rockefeller is seeking to outdo Andrew
Carnegie as an iron king, and has
plans already matured and about to be
carried out aiming at that end. The
Standard Oil company directed by
Rockefeller, will be the foe of the
Scotchman. This company has pur-
chased in south Chicago, along the
shores of Lake Michigan and at the
mouth of the Calumet river. plot of
ground several acres in extent and with
a water frontage OF 32O0 feet. Ou this
it is said rolling mills will be erected
to cost $40, 600, 900, possibly twice that
amount.
With this plant for manufacture,
with the vast mines in the Meseba re-
gion for the raw product and with
eighteen lake vessels to carry the ore
to the very doors of the works, all
owned by the Rockefeller company, that
corporation may be able to dictate
terms to Mr.. Carnegie instead of being
dictated to.
