An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Ere SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing TO the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIo SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

PHILIPPINE COMMISSIONERS
They Will be Formally Received by the
President Today

washington October 31.-The Philippine
commission will be formally received by the
president at 10 o'clock tomorrow. At the
session of the commission today it develop
ed that the report probably will take longer
in preparation than was at first supposed,
and possibly may not be completed until
very near the meeting of congress. In this
event the president may want certain in
formation now in the hands of the commits
sion for use in the preparation of his mes
sage and the conference at the White
House tomorrow will give an opportunity
for an exchange of views.
Today's session consisted only in further
blocking out the commissions report, and
actual work can hardly be said to have
commenced. 1t is understood that the re-
port when completed will be not only a
presentation of facts as observed by the
commission, but will include certain recon-
mendations for the future government of
the islands The commissioners are quite
thoroughly in accord on the subject of the
needs of the archipelago, and it is not likely
that there will be minority report.

Will Bet $4,000 That He Can Whip
the Sailor

New York. October 31.-This was day of
quiet at Jeffries' training quarters as AS
bury Park, and, except for a short run and
a little excursion in a row boat this morn
ing, not one of the party put his head out
of doors. A terrific storm ragged all day
and trainers and fighters sat around the
fire and discussed the prospects OF the
weather for the days that remain between
now and Friday.
As the fight draws near Jeffries' conf
dence in his ability to win grows greater
and today he mailed a check for S3,000 to
his manager with directions to put 1t on at
the best price he could get.

the battle begins so as to let therpuolio

Sharkey will probably weigh ITO pounds or
less The big fight will be preceded by
ten-round bout between Kid Goulette, OF
Rochester, and Tommy Moran, of Brook
Ign.
Jeffries and Sharkey have agreed ito be
in the club house at 9:15 and to enter the
ring at 945.

MUCH DAMAGE WAS DONE

Wilmington, N. c., October 31.-On ac-
count of high tides incident to the Carib
bean sea disturbance, which was a storm
central over the Carolina coast last night,
at 9:15 o'clock, many wharves in the city
this morning at o'clock were submerged
and considerable damage done to merchan-
disc in Storage warehouses.
At 8 o'clock the tide began to recede and
if the wind changes, which is now becom-
ing a gale from the southeast, no further
damage will likely result. The tide rose
rapidly during the night and merchants and
warehousemen had very little notice to
move their wares to a safe distance. Re-
ports from Wrightsville and Carolina
beaches this morning tell of much havoc
wrought by the storm there. There Is
thought to be no loss of life at these
places, but considerable damage is thought
to have resulted to property there.
The tide is said to have been the highest
since September, 1888. No reports have yet
been received as to any loss in shipping,
though Geographic communication mas
cut off with Southport.
The Clyde steamship Oneida, Captain
Staples, which cleared yesterday afternoon,
did not put to sea, but is still safely in
port.
Nothing has been heard of the Clyde
steamer New York, which was expected
here this morning, but it is thought she
is safe. Damage to the rice crops on the
lower Cape Fear river is said to be very
heavy. -ss4..----....-4--
