w transient nature OF the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle effortS-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 20 constipated eohdis
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
IL 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 It is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
c,e, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold By
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment Of good health,
snd 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 givesmost general satisfaction.

Cleo de Merode made her American debut
at Roster & Balls Monday night as
permier danseuse. The Partisan beauty
came from the ranks of the corps de ballet
in Paris. her fame being the result of per-
sonality rather than genius as a dancer and
the New York critics had various opinions
as to her merit. BY some she was spoken
of as a Paris scrub woman's offspring
while others saw nothing but art in her
performance. A fair estimate of the young
woman seems to be that she wins not by
her dancing, admittedly only paSsable, but
by her rare personality. Curtis Durham, in
the New York Evening Journal, draws her
picture as follows: 'Cleo does not elevate
her pink satin toes above the level of the
longest flounce of her white tarletan ballet
skirt. She does not wriggle. She takes no
long leaps across the stage. She makes no
eyes at the audience. She is utterly lacking
In coquetry She hardly smiles. Cleo lacks
almost every attribute which one confident
ly expects for his money a music hall.
But not one of the somewhat dazed indi-
vlduals, who made up the multitude at
Roster & Balls last night, wanted his
money back. The most material, beer
reeking orchestra, or in the boxes, indis-
tinct behind wells of blue haze, went away
joyous and full of wisdom. He had gazed
upon beauty chosen among thousands of
beauties where beauty reigns supreme and
where beautys cOnnoisseurs hold the palm
for accuracy of judgment. And he felt that
no understood how such beauty might be
the undoing OF a crowned head that should
bow too long before it,

learn that the night the soldiers passed

law this is a valid marriage. Lady Bar

situation recognize in Lady Barbara the
gypsy whom Gavin acknowledged as his

are thus caught in their own trap. There
is nothing tedious in the way of fine speech

literary standpoint for it has atmosphere
and the characters are clearly drawn. Lady
Barbara, or 'Babbie," is a creature OF in

Boston Wins the Championship by De-
feating Brooklyn.


BROOKLYN, N. Y, Sept 3O.-Although
Boston has one more game to play with
Brooklyn and Baltimore will play two more
with Washington at the Monumental City,
the race for the League pennant of 1897
practically came to an end with the conclu-
sion of to-day's game at Eastern Park.
Boston won the game, while Washington
trounced the champions, which leaves Bos-
ton the undisputed champions COR 1898.
Even should Baltimore win both their
games they can only attain percentage of
700 points. Should Brooklyn win from Bos-
ton Saturday the latter will have percent
age of 704.
The excitement at to-day's game was ex-
traordinary. In the second inning, when the
Bostons scored five runs, which gave them
a safe lead men and women alike arose in
their seats and yelled frantically. When
the lead became so great that there was
no more hope for the home team the most
faithful joined the Bostons and their root
ers, and for a time nobody could hear any
thing else but people yelling Boston,
Young Dunn was put in the box to fool
the new champions, but Captain Griffin
might as well have stood up wooden man.
The "Beaneaters" had their batting clothes
on, and the faster Dunn tossed the ball
across the plate the harder Captain Duffy
men would line the leather out. The only
trouble was that the batting was all on
ore side. The Trolley Dodgers could do
little with Klobedanz, the Boston twirler.
About the only time they hit him with any
effect was in the third inning, when they
scored all their runs. The fielding, like
the batting, too, was one-sided. Brook
Ign made only four actual errors, but some

most stupid plays seen in many days. Bos-
tons work in the field was simply marvel
