Against chean Rricklayers.

At the regular meeting of the San Fran
cisco Bricklayers' Association held on
Wednesday evening, February 10, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, There was an article pub
lished in some of the daily papers on the
7th inst, by the international Bricklay-
ers' Union, calling the attention Of the
public to the carpenters setting terra
Gotta. on the Hall of Justice and claim,
ing that the San Francisco Bricklayers
Association was organized for the benefit
of the Master Masons, and was not an
organization of journeymen;
Resolved, That the San Francisco
BrickIayers' Association is the only bona
fide bricklayers' union in this city. with
branches in Oakland, San Jose and Sac
ramento, and is recognized as such by all
the architects and legitimate contractors
in San Francisco, having been organized
since 1882 with a standard of S. per day,
which we still maintain.
Resolved, That we call the attention
of all mechanics to the work on said
building to show that the International
Bricklayers' Union does not consist. of
competent men, and we deplore the fact
that the contractor of said public build
ing saw fit to employ cheap and incom-

FATHER AND MOTHER
FIGHT FOR A CHILD
CREATED A SCENE NEAR THE
AGASSIZ SCHOOL.
The Prompt Appearance of Police
man Put a Temporary Stop
to the Trouble.

The sight of father attempting to drag
his child away from its mothers arms
created a great deal of excitement in
front of the Agassiz School on Bartlett
street, between Twenty-second and
Twenty third streets, yesterday after
noon.
The trouble between the couple, Mr.. and
Mrs. de Bonnet, is of long standing, and
has arisen to the dignity of a scandal in
the Mission. Both parties are we'll to do,
and De Bonnet claims to be connected
with the crowned heads of Europe.
About two years ago husband and wife
separated, Mrs. de Bonnet going to live
with her mother, Mrs. Pollard, at Twen-
tieth and Mission streets. At the open
ing of the last school year Mrs. Pollard
senior brought a child to the Agassiz
School and requested the principal to
have his name entered on the books as
Pollard, saying that she did not wish to
have him bear his fathers name. She
also gave instructions that the boy be
only permitted to go home with its
mother, or some one designated by her.
The instructions were faithfully car
ried OUT but yesterdday, afternoon nd the
to see his child. The mother heard OF 1t
and asked Sergeant Perrine OF the Sew
enteenth street station to detail man a, at
the school. In explanation she said that
she feared for the life of herself and
child, as Mr.. de Bonnet had threatened to
dfS1gure them both.
The officer concealed himself in the vi
cinlty of the school and awaited develop
ments When Mrs. de Bonnet came out
with the boy the husband suddenly
rushed forward, stuck one hand in his
hip pocket and started to drag the boy
away with the other. The policeman
then appeared on the scene and ordered
him to go home quietly and leave the
child with it's mother. He at once said
he would, and permitted the officer to
search him. 1t was found that he car
ried neither a gun nor bottle of vftriol,
but further trouble is expected, and it
is probable that the school will again be
watched Monday.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the welI-known remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Company, illus
trates the value of obtaining the liquid
laxative 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 lax
ative, 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 it's 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
