An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIa 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. 1t
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. It's 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 method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

QUITE AN ACCIDENT.
Collision Between Ferryboat and Unit
e6 States GIlnbOat

| Collision Between Ferryboat and Unit
ed States Gunboat. ,y
| New York, Aug. IA collision oc-
Cured this morning between the Terry
| boat New York of the Williamsburg
line and the United States gunboat
Dolphin The bow of the gunboat cut
clean through the mems cabin of the
ferryboat to the teamway and into the
engine room. The New York's main
shaft was broken and considerable ma
ehinery damaged. All the wood work
on the forward port side was carried
away and the hull badly damaged.
The gunboat's bow was bent and sew
eral feet of the rail torn away in the
collision. There were not many pass
sengers on board the New York when
the accident occurred. The ferryboat,
with the aid of tugs, managed to reach
her slip at williamsburg. The gunboat
stood by for a time, but finally pro-
ceeded up the river.
The accident occurred when the New
York was on a trip to this city. She
had reached the center of the river
when the Dolphin, which was coming
up stream, signaled that she would
cross her bow. The New York's en-
gines were stopped, but the strong cur
rent carried her directly in the path
of the gunboat.
Secretary of the Navy Long was
aboard the Dolphin. That the injuries
to the latter were trifling is evidenced
by the fact that the Dolphin continued
on her way up the river and passed

! THE CITY OF 3
= DIAMONDS. &
- Kimberley, Scene of the First 90
"a Desperate Struggle Be- ~
~ tween EOcr and II
- BritOn. 90
BY
Charles Warner

Kimberley, which has been the scene
of one of the first desperate struggles be-
tween Bocr and Brton in the present
South African clash, has a worldwide
reputation rs the city of diamonds. 1t is
the metropolis Of the diamond fields. 1t
is probable that the presence in the city
of Cecil Rhodes prompted the fierce Boer
onslaught rather than the hope Of Selling
the fabulously rich mines.
Kimberley is a city Of some 10000 in.
habitants. built in the heart Of the great
karroo desert. Nothing but the pres.
ence Of it's vast underground riches could
have caused white men to have built q
city in such place. 1t is CAT miles by
rail from Cape Town. It. is in Griqua.
land West, which before the discovery OF
diamonds was part Of the Orange Free
State.
When gems were found there, the Brit
ish rushed in at once. The Free State
Beers protested. Then Great Britain
hunted up a Kafir chief who presented
an ancient claim to the territory. This
claim was pushed through. In the mean
time the land had been occupied by Eng
lish. The Free State was compelled to
cede this rich strip Of desert land to the
great empire, receiving an indemnity Of
$4.5OO,OOO. Since then the English own
ers Of these mines have taken out gems
worth more than 100 times as much US
the original purchase price OF the terri
tory.
The Griquas are of mixed origin, partly
Dutch and partly Kaftir, or Hottentot.
1t was on the Colesberg kop, or hill, that
the first diamond in South Africa was
found. In 1870 the famous diamond
mines were fairly discovered, and from
that time on the growth Of Kimberley be-
gan and continued with u rapidity hardly
surpassed by any Of the western boom"
towns Of this country. Its name, given to
it in honor Of the Earl of Kimberley, who
was then the British secretary of state
for the colonies, is shared with it by one
small village in England and by three
towns or stations and one goldfeld in
Australia. The earl took his title from
the old English village, and his admirers
