AETith bet er understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, whica vanish before proper eff
tforts-gentle pleasant efforts
rightly direct I'd. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly 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 it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
Il IN the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

ic Of Guiana" alias 1.-The Bishop
of Honolulu has once more made
his appearance on the streets of
San Francisco. He arrived re
tentIy from Portland, Or, where
he has been doing prison work
not of Il missionary but com
pulsOry order. The sOjOurn in Sc
clusiOn was due to an OverWeen-
ing curiosity on the part of John
Lawrence, as the impOster -
named. \ telegram addressed to
Father Dielman of Astoria fell
into the impOster's hands and he
opened il. For this mistake he
spent two months in Jail. 1t was
no new experience for him, how
ever, as he has divided his time
pretty equally between that spent
inside and outside prison walls

skill, the following statement
Published in IL press dispatch from
Portland recently may be re
called:
John Lawrence, the bogus Bishop
of Honolulu left yesterday morning on
the steamship Queen for San Francisco.
When released from the county jail he
had less than 81 but within twenty
four hours he had made presents to his
iailmates amounting to at least $40.
During, Friday and Saturday he col
Iected over $50, exclusive Of first-class
ticket to San Francisco. Late Saturday
afternoon Lawrence called upon County
Judge Gray and by means of smooth
talking and alleged repentance for past
errors succeeded in getting a steerage
ticket TO San Francisco. He then dis
posed of his first-class ticket and at
temDted to occupy a berth on his steer
age ticket. He was found in bed and
made to rise and seek steerage quar-
tiers. He assumed very indignant at
titude, but when he found he was rec
ognized he submitted peacefully to the
change of quarters.
1t is said that he now threatens
TO invade the Salvation Army
ranks. He is over 90 years old.

TRIBUTE TO MISS FIELD.
Touching Incident Showing Res
pect of COlOred Americans.

Shortly after the announcement of
Miss Fields death touching incident
occurred which showed the place her
name holds among the common people
of her country. Two American ne
groes, laboTers in Honolulu, came to
DR.. McGrew's residence and offered to
assist in any way possible in caring for
the remains. They stated that they
had no money, they could not buy
floral tributes, but Miss Field had al
ways been a friend of the negro and
had done what she could to improve
the condition of the race in the South
ern States. They would like to do some
thing as a mark of appreciation and
respect.
AS kind hands had done all that could
be done at that time, DR.. McGreW
thanked them and gave assurance that
their kindness would not be forgotten.
During the noon hour before the flu
neral on Wednesday one of the men
went to DR.. McGrew's in his workin
clothes and asked if he might have a
last look at the earthly remains of the
woman who had done so much for his
race. Although the casket had been
closed and sealed, the doctor remem-
bered his promise and granted the re-
quest.

DEAR SIRS: Our exhibition of the
New Disc Pillow in broom corn at this
place today was not only a success but
a complete surprise to all the farmers
present, and was an agreeable surprise
to myself in that sort of work. I talked
with every farmer at the exhibition,
and the majority of them said the plow
was worth all it cost just to plow
broom corn. Just think how absurd it
would be to try to plow in heavy broom
corn without breaking or raktng and
burning the stalks, but the Disc Plow
will do it, and do it well. From what
have seen Of this pillow think it is the
only pillow, for broom corn, at least.
Yours truly,

Otto Holm, the Artist, shows His
Artistic Skill on the Wallis OF
the Prescott House Annex
The Prescott House Annex fresh
from the hands of that master artist,
Otto Holm, is now a place of dazzling
beauty. The room has been thorough
ly renovated, new bar-room fixtures
added, and the whole interior has
been touched up by the brush in the
hands of an expert artist and decora-
tor. The walls and ceiling present a
bright blue green color. The ceiling
is finished up with gold ornaments
and besides the handsome border
around the walls they are finished up
with beautiful oil paintings. The
painting facing the bar is a master
piece of work. It represents a scene
on Lake Maggiore, Italy, and it is a
painting true to nature. The picture
is 15x7 feet in size and is bordered by
a beautiful frame made by the brush
of the artist. To the left and to the
right of this large painting appear
paintings which are also works of
beauty.
There is no house in this section of
the State the walls of which present
to the eye such a rare treat in decora-
tive art as the walls in the Prescott
House Annex, and there is not a
saloon in the State outside of st.
Louis that is finer than this one. Nh.
Huhn deserves much credit fer his
enterprise and energy. he has left
nothing undone to make his saloon
a handsome and attractive place and
in securing the services of Otto Holm
to beautify his place he used good
Judgment, for there is no other a in
the country who can do better work.
