troops on board. The passengers be-
longed to the regiment of Cuban
volunteers organized in the lower
extremity of Florida some weeks

send these men, as they speak Spanish

Fast Time to Colorado.

A new through Sleeping Car line between
st. Louis and Colorado Springs will be estab-
lished over the Wabash Rock Island Short
Line, May 18th, 1898. The time will be the
fastest made with through service between
these two points by many hours. A through
Sleeper will leave st. Louis on Wabash train
No. 3, at 800 a. m, arriving at Colorado
Springs the next morning at HOO, with di-
rect connection for Denver, arriving at II 80
a. m. This is the fastest regular through
service ever established between ST. Louis
and Colorado. Returning, the Sleeper will
leave Colorado Springs at 2.45 D. M, and ar
rive at st. Louis the next evening at 6I5.
Patrons of this line will avoid the only un-
pleasant feature heretofore attendant on Col
orado travel, inasmuch as the trip through
MissOuri's fertile fields will now be bv day-
light, and the unattractive portion of Kansas
will be traversed during the night, with the
mountain scenery to greet the tourists in the
morning.
The fast time of this line will naturally
commend the Wabash Route to intending
Colorado tourists.
Particulars will be gladly furnished on ap-
phcation.

WASHINGTON, May %. - Saturday
night the residence of Senator William
Mason, of Illinois, 1882 Chaplin street,

jewelry to the value of nearly $4,000
was stolen. Not a clew to either the
burglars or the jewelry has been OBJ

son issued to the burglars a character

needed. 1t is as follows:
TO the gentlemen who robbed nv
house last night:
Il will pay in cash more than any
one else for the watch and pin YOU
took last night and give you my word
of honor that you shall not be prose
cuted for the taking of them. The pin
has portrait of my little son who
died years ago and it was, as was also
the watch, present to me. You can
communicate with me by mail or in
person and you can rely absolutely on
my promise not to prosecute.

CHANGING THEIR TONE.
Paris Press Has Nothing But Praise FOL
America and Americans Since the
Threatened Boycott.

NEW YoRK, May %. A dispatch
from Paris to the World says:
There are remarkable indications in
Paris journals, hitherto inimical, of a
complete reversal of the French dis.
position toward America.
The Gaulois, for example, extols the

his opponents slowness to effect 9

him to divide the forces into two parts.

CUBAN CAMPAIGN.
Steps Taken to Mobilize and Equip the I'm
mune Regiments Authorized BY
Congress Recently.

New YORK, May ga special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The intention of the war depart
ment to force the Cuban campaign
was sufficiently indicated by the steps
taken Saturday for the speedy mobili-
cation and equipment of the immune
regiments authorized by act of con-
gress last week. This Law which en-
powers the president to organize an ad-
ditiOnal volunteer force not exceeding
10000 enlisted men, possessing i'm
munity from the diseases incident to
tropical climates, will be Immediately
put into effect by the formation of six
regiments of nearly 1000 men each,
TO be recruited in the gulf states. AS
surances from that section are to the
effect that these men are practically
ready for mastering in and are
awaiting equipment. Nearly all of
them have had military train
ing, and confidence is expressed that
they can be made ready for active SER
vice within ten days. 1t is significant
that if immunes are needed at all in
the Gu ban campaign they are especially
adapted for service there in the imme-
dlate future, and that if the campaign
was to be abandoned until fall there
would be no need to raise this force
hurriedly in the month of Nav.

The big cruiser passed through the
Golden Gate at $40 Sunday morning
altering having been anchored in the
stream all night. She adjusted her
cOmpasses at an early hour and then
passed up the bay through the RaccOOn
straits and past the docks on the
northern frontage of the city. Every
steam vessel in the harbor blew au re-
vOir to Capt Glass and his crew. None
of the forts in the harbor saluted
the vessel, but the demonstration made
by the 5000 soldiers gathered at the
Preside was tremendous. When the
vessel was sighted coming down the
bay the soldiers gathered on the beach
to bid her bon voyage. They lined the
beach for mile and cheer upon cheer
rang out from the men who are to soon
follow the Charleston to the scene of
Dewey's triumph. The Charleston's
big siren answered the boys on the
beach time and again and the whistllng
was heard from one end of the city to
the other. Never has a war vessel
leaving this harbor received such a
SendOff as was given the Charleston,
which was the first of the American
feet to be built on the Pacific coast.
She was launched from the Union iron
works in this city ten years ago, and
was one of the ''nest eggs" of the pres
ent American navy.

Lecture of a Novelist.

A well-known novelist delivered a lecture
recently in which he read selections from
his own works. His reputation and the so.
ciety that engaged him brought together an
audience composed of the best people of the
neighborhood. After the lecture, when
people met, it was the proper thing for one
to ask the other:
''Were you at the lecture" And the
answer in every case:
"Oh, yesl l was there, but didn't hear
a word. Did you hear the Lecturer
"Well, MOI l was there, but / couldn't
hear, either"
A friend who met the novelist few DAYS
after his visit to the suburban town asked
him what kind of audience he had, and how
he liked the town.
Its fine place. was the reply, ''and |
ever spoken to. No one made a sound I snd
/ did not have to raise my voice above a
whisper. "-Philadelphia Press.

THE EXCELLENCE 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

all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.

assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par

which the genuine Syrup of Figs has

the name of the Company guaranty
OF the excellence of it's remedy. 1t is,
