VESSEL CAUGHT IN ICE.
Remarkable Experience of the Sugar
Laden Bark Nuuanu.

Remarkable Experience of the Sugar
Laden Bark Nuuanu.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8.-The first yes.
sci to be caught in the Antarctic ice this
season, a remarkable experience, owing
to the fact that the ice was within 100
miles of Cape Horn, was the sugar laden
bark Nuuanu, which was docked at the
Spreckels sugar refinery today after a
run of 199 days from the Hawaiian
Islands.
The Nuuanu left Honolulu in June
last. and aftec having encountered two
severe gales III the Pacific ocean, was
caught in the field of ice In the early
part of September while rounding Cape
Horn on her way to the Atlantic ocean.
Far to the south nothing but drift ice
could be seen. The sea was smooth and
there was no sign of land.
The weather was fair at the time and
this enabled the Nuuanu to work her
way into clear water. Captain Joseph
Flynn, the vessels master, calculated
that the ice was about 800 miles south
of Cape Horn.
The Nuuanu's run was over $4,000
miles. She is the first of feet of sugar
laden sailing vessels bound from the
Hawaiian Islands to Philadelphia and
New York which, it is said, are to dis
place the steamers which have found
the trade improbable, owing to the
long run.

tlon of nearly $40, 600, 600.

mainly TO the diminished value of the

FAMOUS SCULPTOR DEAD.
Adolph Kraus Dies at Danvers Insane
Asylum.

HYDE PARK, Mass. Nov. 8. - An.
nouncement was made today of the
death of Adolph F. Kraus, the famous
sculptor, which took place in Danvers
insane hospital last night Mr.. Kraus
had been receiving treatment at the in
stitution since last July. He was 81
years of age. A widow, four sons and
two daughters survive him.
A pensioner of the Prussian govern.
ment and winner of the grand prize of
Rome, the name of the sculptor was es.
tablished in Europe before he came to
America in 1881. In this country he
continued to win fame and it was the
disappointment of his ambition to pro.
duce masterpiece which is said to
have caused his mind to give way. He
had partially completed model in clay
of an heroic figure of Belshazzar at the
moment of seeing the handwriting on
the wall, when it began to crumble, and
Kraus was compelled to abandon the
work. His mind became unbalanced
soon afterWard.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the we'll known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
themin 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. Its 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 senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial
