ENGLISH OPINION
OF AMERICANS


It is absurd for any one tc
pretend that as far as English
society takes America into &C
count and has any well-defined
opinion, it is not hostile. This
hostility is rather passive than
active, and is made up of two
parts disdain to one part indif
ference. II is both natural and
inevitable.
The social fabric of Great
Britain is laid in caste and
class. Beginning at the throne
it tapers down in regular
series of strata to the coster-
monger. At this moment the
Prince of Wales is not only the
greatest individual in England,
but the most popular man. As
candidate for President Of the
English republic, If by some
sudden CONFUSION of nature a
republic should be ordained, he
could beat any other English
man three to one.
The English aristocracy are
rich and strong. Their titles
are tangible and mean some
thing. Their estates back their
legislative power The little
princelings of Germany and
Italy and France are as men of
straw. But an English Duke
is a living grandee. He has a
fine house in the country aud
fine house in town. Beneath
him we'll mortised in a firmly
fixed ladder is ronnd upon
round Of titular distinction to
do him honor. Why should he
concern himself about the poor
devil of an American whose
grandmother may have been a |
washerwoman and whose sole
claim to recognition may be a
few paltry stocks and bondsl
He does not concern himself in
the least. and, as he, led by the
Prince of Wales, sets the pace,
the rest of the nobility and
gentry fall in line, and wherever
the American is accepted it is
with condecensiun. He must
pay for this by unceasing adult
alton Of all things English.
The London press is not quite
as oblivious to all things Amer
lean as it used to be, but under
lying it's treatment of things
American, a trickle of the sup
ercilious spirit that permeates
English society may be discern
ed. IF there be an affair, or
controversy, 7r what not, the
American invariably gets the
butt end of it. Where the an
imadVersion is not i'll tempered,
it is Satire.
In a word, the only kind
words one sees in the London
newspapers about the United
States come from the few act
Ors, who; having found the
leading American cities very
fruitful and intending to go
back for another crop of dollars,
have an Obvious Interest telling
a little laudatory truth about it.

Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms or
sickness are not due TO any actual dis
ease, but simply to q 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, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's 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. It 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.
If 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 slxillful
physicians, but if in need of a 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

Los ANGELES MYSTERY,
John Bold, an Inmate of the
Soldiers Home, Loses
His Son.
Last Saw the Youngster When He
Placed Him in an Orphan
Asylum.
Los ANGELES OFFICE or TIE CALL, ]
323 South Broadway.


John Bold, blind and decrepis inmate
of the Soldiers Home at Santa Monica. is
anxious to learn what has become OF his
lit.le boy. When the father went to the
home provided by the Government for the
Nations defenders, the SON was placed in
an orphan asylum in this city. From that
institution the youngster was Harmed
out" and the father lost all trace of him,
although repeated efforts have been made
to discover the lads whereabouts
Bailih Appel OF the Police Court knew
Bold IN Arizona, and the old soldier has
appealed to the officer TO assist him in
finding the sequestered son.
About three months ago, when Bold was
admitted to the home, he left his son,
boy Of about ID years of age, in charge of
the orphans home, at the corner of Yale
and Alpine streets. Bold sent a man 70
the home month ago with . message and
some money for the boy. The man was
unable to deliver either the message or the
money because the boy was no longer
there
Bold, however, was not satisfied with
the information that the boy had been
placed in good home, but had a friend,
}. Spring, write TO the Institution to try to
ascertain where the child was to be found
No response was received from the matron.
Mr. Appel caused an investigation TO be
made, and while he has not succeeded in
locating the boy, he has at least caused the
managers OF the home to begin q search
for him.

reaching Ensenada safely and turning
over their prisoners to the authorities,
who promptly placed them behind the
strong bars Of the Ensenada prison.
One OF the housewives is Rudolfo Gal
legos. a desperate border rutfian who was
discharged from San Quintin two months
ago after serving term for stealing mules
from old man Dukes of Campo. Another
prisoner is James Dukes, son OF the elder
Dukes.
He is q hard citizen, who has trained
with Mexican cutthroats and horse
thieves since childhood. He is an expert
shot, and is greatly feared on the border.
The third man is Nacho Sortello, who
with Epifanio GalIegos. a brother OF
Rodolfo, almost murdered Inspector
Ralph Conkiln two years ago, when ne
was bringing them into San Diego TO jail.
It has been learned that the leader OF
gang of horsethieyes is this same Epifano
GslIegos.
He has a congenial crowd OF ruf1ians,
and has chosen an ideal spot tor his
stronghold, as the Coco oah Mountains are
inaccessible to ordinary travel, and plenty
of places are afforded where two or three
smbushed men might DEFY an army.
The Mexican autt critics have Instructed
the rurales along the border TO make de-
termined effort to break up the gang, and
it is probable the familiar red-shlrted
Mexican horsemen, with short rifles and
sharp eyes, viii yet make Gallegos and his
gang bite the dust.

SACRAMENTO. CAL, Aug. 30.-Judg-
ing from present indications the State
Fair of 1896 will be the most successful
ever held; at all events it will certainly
be the most extensive, and the fair direc-
tors and their energetic secretary, Edwin
Smith, are sparing neither personal eff
forts nor expense to properly prepare for
the flood of applicants for floor space in
the pavilion or stalls at the racetrack.
Under the skilIful fingers of an army of
decorators the interior of the huge pa
vilion is rapidly becoming a maze of COR
geously tinted bunting.
The center piece is an innovation in
decorative effort. It consists of an i'm
mense square pendant of deIicateiy tinted
pink cloth fringed with silver stars. Sur
rounding this is larger square Of lemon
yellow, similarly fringed, and again sur
rounded by an immense square. of light
blue, from which broad bands of ya.i-col-
ored bunting drape of in every direction
to meet ana blend with mass OF flags
and streamers.
On the floor of the huge building are
scores OF workmen buslly engaged in
erecting novel structures composed of
manufactured and agricultural products
and the MANAGEMENT states that every
available foot of floor space has been
spoken for. Up in the art department
rapid progress is being made in hanging
pictures and placing exhibits, and in every
other department work is progressing
rapidly.
One of the most attractive features of
the fair viii be the dairy exhibit, for
which room will be especially fitted. 1t
viii have an immense glass front so the
operations within may be witnessed from
the outside. An ice machine will be
placed in the room and the temperature
kept at 90 degrees. Fully 1000 pounds of
milk viii be used daily IN giving practical
demonstrations OF the best method OF con-
verting milk into butter and cheese.
