ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir Of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one Of many reasons
why it is the best Of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs

Croker's Horse Wins
Big Classic Stake.

London. May S.-Last year it was
.'Croker'S Derby" It is already
"Croker's Thousand Gllineas," and bar
ring accident it will in all probability
be "Croker's Oaks" otherwise known
as the Ladies Derby" the blue rib
Dor OF the turf for iillies. There is a
strong likelihood also that it may be
''Belmonts Derby" this year. for Mr.
Belmont', Norman I'll is at present Il
favorite in the betting for this race
Today's victory Of Mr.. Cookers
Rhodorah in the "Thousand Guineas"
stake at Newmarket following the sue
cess of the American horse RubiO in
the Grand National and Norman III in
the 1000 guinea stakes makes Il notable
American triumphs, these three events
constituting the most important races
yet contested this season. RhodOra is
still lacking in condition and Mr.
Croker although hopeful was in no
way confident that his mare would
make her brilliant performance of to-
day, when she covered a mile in l min
ute 4324' seconds, beating Norman HIS
time of I minute and A 35 seconds
made Wednesday, This fine showing
has made Mr.. Croker regret that the
filly is not entered for the Derby or
the st. Lege.
London, May S.-The 1000 Guinea
stakes was run at Newmarket today
ard won by Richard Crocker's Rho
dora.
Rhodora, Mr. Crocker's brilliant
3-year-old filly, thus has added another
classic to the sporting trophies already
captured by this American sports
man. She won today's event from a
big field of IS horses, and was fol-
lowed into the finish by Captain F.
Forcster's Bracelet, and J. H. Houlds-
worth's Ardentrive.
1t was doubly an American victory,
for Lucien Lyme, the American jock
ey, rode the winner. He displayed such
Judgment that Rhodora turned the ia
bles on the favorite w. Lesbia, horse
that defeated the American filly in the
Middlepark plate last year and that
up to the present time never has been
beaten.
The betting was as follows: Rhodora,
100 to against; Bracelet 5 to
against, and Ardentrive 100 to 6
against.
Mr. Crocker was present to see his
filly win and King Edward and the
Prince Of Wales also were among the
big crowd that witnessed the Amer
lean victory.
Rhodora won comparatively easily.
Lyme lay behind Elm Twig until
bushes were reached. Here he drove
his mount to the front and romped
home two lengths ahead of Bracelet
with Ardentrive third. Only neck
separated Ardentrive and Courtesy,
the fourth horse.

They cling to the 10cent foods.

They are going without the food that they like

Then think of this: We spend 96 hours in pre-

Theater-Since Prof. Lund took
hold of the music department of the
b. Y. u. at Provo, he has furnished
many surprises to the music lovers II
Salt Lake and the other large cities
of the state but he has given no more
complete surprise than that which he
furnished last evening in the rendition
of "Boccaccio" by the opera company
which he organized from the music stu
dents of the we'll known institution.
"Boccaccio" is so nearly classic
among comic operas and 1t is so full of
the difficulties with which Suppe al
ways invested his works, that 1t has
been seldom attempted in Salt Lake,
and even the best travelling compan-
les usually fight shy of it. But con-

Prof. Lund put 1t in rehearsal some
time ago and the hearty reception his
efforts have met with everywhere the
opera has been presented, showed him
he had made no mistake in the selec-
ton.

Ship-Subsidy Again.

The new ship subsidy bill provides
that the Postmaster General shall pay
for ocean mail service in vessels of the
second class on routes to South Amer
lea, the Philippines, Japan, China and
Australia, at the rate of $4 per out
ward mile, which is the rate now paid
to vessels of the first class. Thus a
steamship of less than 5000 tons for a
voyage to Hongkong, China, would re-
ceive subsidy of $4,000 for the dis
lance from San Francisco TO Hongkong
is 1910 miles. 1t requires 81 days to
Hongkong, or about 30 days for the
round trip, including the time Occu-
pied in loading. Thus such a steam
ship can make six of such voyages and
would receive subsidy each year Of
S176,160. which would be large inter
est on the money invested above the
profit from freight and passengers.
Why is Uncle Sam to add to the
profits of steamship companies which
are undoubtedly paying well or would
discontinue the business? Why do the
Republican politicians push this bill
to pay ship subsidies unless they are
directly interested by contributions
from the steamship combine for their
campaign expenses?

sued unless a check for the amount
was sent by return post, the artist
mentioned the matter to one of his
friends who lived near him. Explain
ing that he had few pounds in the

quested his friend to stop at the bank
on the way to business to ascertain
what was required tG make his ac-
count coed for check of slightly over
800 and to deposit that amount for him
'as loan.
The friend was quite willing and liz
due time stood at the cashiers dess
of Whistler's bank asking the amount
of his balance and explaining the er-
rand. The cashier was interested. HI.
went to the big book of balances, turn
ed over few pages, wrote down some
figures and in a moment placed them
before the astonished friend. Wits.
tiers balance was more than $4,000.
The artist was delighted. but found
