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
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG 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 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

Mckinley Sends a Message
in This Wise to Congress.

Washington. D. c.. Feb. D.-The presi-
dent sent q message to congress today
calling attention 10 the urgent necessity
for the construction OF cable across the
Pacific ocean. 1t makes no specific rec
concentration as to the mode by which the
cable shall be secured. the main point be-
ing that it is imperatively necessary that
cable should be laid. The message is as
follows:
LAS a consequence of the ratification Of
the treaty of Paris by the senate Of the
United States and its expected ratification
by the Spanish government, the United
States will come into possession Of the
Philippine islands, on the farther shores
of the Pacific The Hawaiian Islands and
Guam bsing United States territory and
forming convenient stopping places on the
way across the sea, the necessity for
speedy cable communication between the
United States and all the Pacific Islands
has become imperative.
Such communication should be estab-
,ished in such way as TO be wholly IN
der the control of the United States, wheth-
er in time of peace or war. At present the
Philippines can be reached only by cables
which pass through many foreign coun-
tries and the Hawaiian islands and Guam
can only be communicated with by steam
ers. involving delays in each instance of at
least a week. The present conditions
should not be allowed 10 continue for
moment longer than is absolutely neces-
sary.
T,o- 71vrr1
in the Pacific must extend as far as Ma
Mia, touching at the Hawaiian islands and
Guam on the way. Two methods Of es-
tablishing this cable communication at
once suggest themselves: First. construc-
ton and maintenance of such cable at
the expense of the United States govern
ment. and, second, construction and main
tenance of such a cable by a private Unit
ed States corporation under such a safe
guard as congress shall impose.
'I do not make any recommendation to
congress as to which of these methods
would be the more desirable. A cable
Of the length of that proposed requires so
much time for construction and Iaving
that it is estimated at least two years must
elapse after giving the order for the cable
before the entire system could be success
fully laid and put in operation. Further
deep-sea soundings must be taken west OF
the Hawaiian islands before the best route
for the cable can be selected. Under these
Circumstances it becomes a paramount ne
cessity that measures should be taken be-
fore the close of the present congress 70
provide such means as may seem suitable
for the establishment of a cable system.
~ recommend the whole subject TO the
careful consideration of the congress and
to such prompt action as may seem ad-
visable.

Inc story OF now Gordon died, based upon the
esumony OIL eye witnesses, occupies chapter Of
tho book before us. but OF course, only an out
line oil 1t can be here presented. The first person to
describe the mode OF Gordons death was, il seems,
man whose tongue Gordon had threatened to
cut out as the only cure for his invetcrate lying.
All later versions OF the incident have been based
apparently upon the tale related by this after

construction may DO placed on the assertion that
he turned his back upon his assalants and in his

that he died. as they must all have believed that
he died-in spite OF the official and semi official
accounts to tho contrary-as tho soldier and lion

The squad will have new coach be-
fore long to direct them but who the
man will be is hard to tell. The manage

but good ones are hard to obtain, and
the Academy lads want none but good
one. They have money enough to get
the best, unless the colleges overbid
them which is likely in several instap-
.ces. Several names have been mentioned
for the position, but the management
has no means of knowing whether or
not any of the men can be secured.
The squad was out for a brief exer-
else yesterday and then attended the
game at the oval. Capt. Norris injured
ankle is improving rapidly and he will
join the squad again tomorrow. Nelson
will not be worked to any extent but
he will be able to play in the game with

The prospects for a game with the

Academy has several open dates later in
the season and it looks now as if they
will give the high school lads a match.
