THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP CT FIGS

THE EXCEL ENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and origipuf remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup Of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA Flo SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

HEIGHT OF POLITENESS.

Three young women who boarded North
side cable car the other day were evidently
dressed Tor reception, and carried card
cases IN their Frenchilly gloved hands. They
attracted much attention, which was not
surprising, as they were young and would
have been handsome but for a similarity of
facial msfortune-each one had prominent
red nose, which presented lurid and re-
markable appearance.
Fortunately for the peace of mind Of the
other passengers on the car, a woman-also
IN gaia dress-knew them well enough to ask
with great establishment:
What in the world happened to YOU all? ?"
"Oh, haven't you heard? We are going to

to your noses?" -
Nothing; our noses are all right. But
haven't you heard about Mrs. H-?"

quGintance.
why, she fell off her bicycle and skinned
her poor nose. The cards were out already
tor this reception, and she felt SO badly about
her disagreement that her dearest friends
decided to show their sympathy by wearing
the same kind of nose in the reception"
oh, you sweet things! But why did YOU
not let all her friends know! would have
been delighted to have got up my nose in
The same style, but l suppose it is too late
now"
They left the car together, and two women
who had been listening with lend.me.your.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRApHIC NEWS
From Manila.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, June 90
According to advices brought from
Japan by the steamship Columbia,
hundreds of people in Manila are using
every effort to leave and are offering
$500 and 5000 for transportation out.
As the time draws near for the arrival
Of the American soldiers, they are be-
coming more restless. 1t is stated that
an appeal will be made to the British
consul to make arrangements for the
removal of the women and children in
case of bombardment. The American
fleet is unable to obtain fresh provisions
and the men have been living on salt
fare. Notwithstanding this. there is
no sickness among the crews and all
are patiently waiting for orders to take
possession of Manila. The Spanish
soldiers are anxious to meet the Amer
icau troops in battle. They are we'll
armed with mauser rifles and Captain
General August says every one will
fight with desperation to maintain the
honor of Spain.
MADRID, June 29.-Dispatches re-
ceived from Manila to-day under date
of June 81 say the Spaniards are de-
termined to fight to the death and that
there is every reason to believe that
when the American troops arrive des-
perate fighting will occur on land and
sea. 1t is supposed at Manila that the
German warships will prevent the
bombardment Of that place and it is
alleged that Prince Henry Of Prussia
is on his way there on board warship.
The Spaniards are said to be actively
pushing preparations for the defence of
the city. General Aguinaldo, the in
surgent leader, declares that the family
of Captain General August, who are
prisoners in his hands, are at Panpanga
and are we'll treated.

Preparing Tor Tho General Advance.

Preparing for rhe General Advance
AT THE FRONT, ON THE RIO GUIANA,
June 2S.-4 p. m.-The preparations
for a general advance of the American
troops on Santiago are being pushed
steadily forward and troops of all
! branches of the service are being hur
ried to the front. The delay in the
general forward movement is due to
the inability to get subsistence stores
to the front rapidly enough. The sd-
vance, it is said, will not be ordered un-
til every man has three days rations in
his knapsack. This, however, is i'm.
possible until the road is passable for
wagon trains. The pack trains can only
convey one days rations in day.
The whole country, front 2nd flank,
is being thoroughly reconnoitered and
an accurate map has been made by the
, engineers. The Spaniards have seem
ingly retired to their intreuchments, as
no pickets or skirmishers were en-
countered, Aguadores was shelled to-
day by several ships of the feet. Aqua

come the base Of operations, while the
