THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS '
is clue not only to the originality and j
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the cure and shill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California. Fig Svrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true aud original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is munufuctured
by the California Fig Svrup Co. 1
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist ope iu avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par- I 1
ties. The high standing of the Cali- *
fornia Fig Svki'p Co. with the modi- i 1
cal profession, and the satisfaction i
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has j
given to millions of families, makes | ,
the name of the Company a guaranty |
of the excellence of its remedy. It is j (
far in advance of all other laxatives, ^
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and j
bowels without irritating or weaken- .
ing them, and it does not gripe nor i '
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial \
effects, please remember the name of
the Company? '

GERMANS BLAME ENGLAND
For Row In Santo* While Admiral Kanti
Is Censured.
The Germau Democrat, published
in San Francisco has received a letter
from one of the chief Germau officials
at Samoa, which is iuterestiug as giving
the Germau views of the complications
at Apia.
The correspondent writes that with
all the shooting that has been done
not u single Matuafan had been killed
or wounded and that the Matnnfans and
United States supreme court, retired,
died at Washington early Sunday
morning. He had been in rather poor
health for several weeks, but was not
confined to his bed but a little more
than a week prior to the end.
.Tustiee Field's retirement from the
supreme court bench occurred December
1, 1897, and Attorney General
McKenna, of California, shortly afterwards
was nominated to succeed him.
During his incumbency lie said he
alone had written (>20 opinions which,
with f>7 in the circuit court, and 3(>f>
in the California supreme court, made
up a total of 1,012 eases decided by
him in his life, lie took issue with
the styling of the court us an aristocratic
feature of a republican government,
and said it is the most democratic
of all.
"It carries," lie wrote, "neither the
purse nor the sword, but it possesses
the power of declaring the law, and in
that is found the safeguard which
keeps the whole mighty fabric of gov
eminent from rushing to destruction."

A Savannah, (In., dispatch says: A
warrant iins been issued in n justice

the Third Georgia officer charged with
murder. He will be brought from
Augusta in answer thereto.
Solicitor General Osborne may communicate

Germans have apparently uo respect
for the lighting ability of the American
and British sailors.
The Mataafaus are auxious for the
allied forces to come out and light in
the open, where they, with their native
implements of war, will have a
chance against the modern weapons
used by the Americans.
The writer Rays that Admiral Kautz
gpve no warning of the bombardment,
and that when it commenced he
thought a salute had been fired.
According to the correspondent,
British Consul Maxse is greatly
blamed for the trouble and there seems
to he an inclination among the Germans
to hold tho British responsible
for tho war instead of the Americans.
The German commander of tho
Falke, in addition to receiving on
board the women and children of his
own nationality, extended to American
and English women and children
the hospitality of his ship, which was
greatly crowded. The Gormau correspondent
says that Admiral Kautz
thanked the Germans for their courtesy
by shelling the German consulate.
The admiral later attributed tho firing
011 the consulate to poor ammunition.
The writer says that stores are being
openly plundered by tho Mataufans
and the English cannot stop it.
On March 24 th Matanfa seut word
to Admiral Kautz that ho would stop
fighting if the whites would let him
alone. The admiral replied that ho
would capture Mataafa uud hang him.
The English are very much incensed
against German Consul llose, and
Captain Sturdee wants to proceed
against liim a? n spy. According to
the Oeru'au writer the only cure for
the trouble will be the Rending of new
consuls ami new commanders, who
will act in harmony.
According to a dispatch from Washington
the German ambassador, Dr.
Von Holleben, called on Secretary
Hay Monday and went over tho
Samoau question quite fully!
Tho ambassador expressed the
wishes of the German government to
have the commission begin its work at
the earliest possible moment, in order
that the pending difficulties may
be overcome. Tho German position,
as made known by the ambnssador,
while not a protest, at the same time
questions the course of Admiral Kautz.
There is no disposition on tho part
of the German authorities to repudiate
ilerr Hose's course. The IvautzUose
incident, it is said, in the highest
quarters, official and diplomatic,
will be quite immaterial in aflectiug
the settlement under the high commission.
The Hritish ambassador, Sir Julian
Puuncefote, also conferred with Secretary
Hay on Satnoan affairs.
The president has selected Hartlett
Tripp, of South Dakota, formerly
minister to Austria, as the United
Statis representative on the Samoau
joint commission.

CAUSE OF NEW YORK'S LATEST FIRE
De*t ruction of Andrew*' and Adam*'
Huildcncpi Fired to Knconipn** the
Death of .Servant.
A New York special says: Despite
retieeuee on the part of the police,
facta became public Saturday which
make it appear that the fire which last
Friday destroyed thirteen persons was
of incendiary origin. It transpired
that a few hours before theflameB were
seen a policeman was sent for from the
Andrews house, and was mysteriously
dismissed l>y a servant, who said he
was not wanted.
Letters threatening the lives of the
Andrews family and the children of
Mrs. St. John were found. It is bolieved
that the motive for incendiarism
was revenge, and that the alVuir arose
out of a quarrel between tlio servants.
Foley, the butler in the Andrews family,
is under surveillance, and the
police are hard ut work investigating
the clews, which chiefly rest upon the
anonymous letters.
Mary Flannagan, the dead maid
servant, seems to have been a central
liguro in this alleged plot, and the
chief object of the supposed perpetra'or's
hate. The police have given
out three scurrilous, threatening anonymous
letters which had been sent
to members of the Andrews household.
One was addressod to the servant,
Mary Flannagan.
The letters made chnrges against
Mary Flunnugan and the butler. In a
letter addressed to Mrs. St. John, the
writer said:
"I hope you and Mrs. Andrews
don't think for one moment that I am
reconciled with Mary Flanungnn, for,
indeed, I am not, and what is further, I
will not be until I get my revenge. 1
feel that 1 have given warning enough,
and I am going to fix her life, and because
you and Mrs. Andrews did not
give heed to warning, I am going to
fix you too. I am going to make
some one throw something in your
nurse's and children's faces that will
disfigure them and eat all the flesh ofl
: the bones. This I will do for spite,
because you did not let Mary go?as I
told you to do. You had just as well
let her go first as lust. You will have
no girl ulive when I get through with
her."
