“Fighting Bob” Evans’ swear
words were roared through a
megaphone during the battle,
and the frightened dons thought
the Vesuvius was coughing at
them.
Four brigadier generals in the
Santiago army received promo

this recognition more than Gen.

An exchange announces that

honor of having been recogniz

biggest liar so far produced by
the war,
Sampson, who, while acting
admiral, was, in reality, only a
captain, has now been made a
Commodore. Schley should be
made an Admiral, and Captain
Clark, of the Oregon, be promo

Gen. Blanco cables to Madiid :
“No details have been received
as to the naval fight, but it is
rumored that Admiral Cervera
.eached a port ol Southern Cu
ba.” He did sure enough, but
his port was not a haven.
This from a Northern paper,
I'he Toledo Blade: “Gen. Joe
Waeeler is the same brave man
d'a third of a century ago. In
Friday’s battle before Santiago,
ilthough too sick to lead his
men, he was carried to the front
on a litter. Wheeler is alright.’
In the closing scenes of con
gress, Cannon, of Illinois, called
Ball, of Texas, a liar. 'The charge
was heavy but the aim was
nasty and inaccurate and the
Ball bo nneranged back at the
Cannon’s mouth ; the last report
sounds as if the whole thing was
only a flash in the pan.
There is a mercantile and
commerc »1 side view of the na
val battle at Santiago. Some of
our foreign critics affect to have
found the cause of American
success in the superiority of our
steel armor plate and puns. As
a result they anticipate a great
er demand for our battleships

The Administration has deem
ed it prudent to begin business
in Hawaii b\ sending an armed
cruised with the flag—and a
regiment of infantry with the
cruiser. There are so many
people in Hawaii who
have not been consulted about
the nuptials that it is well
enough lo make a gunpowder
demonstration to begin with.
It is a striking coincidence
that Samuel J. Tilden, Grover
Clevelandtand William Jennings
Bryan, the three most notid
leaders of the Democracy since
(the civil war, are all on record
! against such enterp-is s as the
mnexation of Hawaii and the
Philippines. Representatives of
the sound money Democracy
and representatives of the silver

THE EXCELLENCE Os 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 tiie California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine S.ytup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par-,
ties. Tiie 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 a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of ail other laxatives,
■ as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

It still appears from accounts
of the recent naval victory that
the guns of Morro are by no
means silenced. It is said that ns
long as the American vessels are
within its range the firing was
incessant. Morro’s gunners must
have more lives than a cat, or
else the fortifications must be
impregnable on the so a side.
CURRENT TOPICS
Whatever else the soldier boys
in Cuba may be prohibited from
eating, they are to have their fill
of tomatoes. The government
has just awarded a contract io a
Baltimore firm for 720,0001bs of
canned tomatoes, and a Si. Lou

A nonagenarian widow of
Michigan recently purchased a
bicycle, and it is said that she
has been making rapid progress
in learning to ride. For years
she has walked four miles to at
tend church services, but now
she goes on her “bike,” covers
the distance in one sixth of the
lime formerly required and with
less than one-sixth of the exer
tion. The old saw, “Never too
old to learn,” seems to be spe
cially applicable to bicycling.
A new and dangerous counter
feit ten dollar note is worrying
bankers. It made its appearance
in New York. The sample sent
to the treasury department is of
the series ot 1880; check letter
C ; plate number S; J. Fount
Tillman, Register; D.N. Morgan.
Treasurer, and the portrait upon
it is that of Webster. The figures
of the numbering of the note,
says tiie New York Sun, are
poorly formed ; the seal is too
dark, being red instead of car
mine ; the lathe work on the
back is blurred and indistinct,
and the siik threads used are
100 heavy. In spite of all these
fl iws, apparent to the expert
ey", the note is of good general
.ppearance and well calculated
t> deceive the ordinary person.
THE MODERN BEAUTY
Thrives on good food and
sunshine, with plenty ofexeicisi
in the open air. Her form glows
md her face glows with its
Jeauty. If her system needs the
leansing action of a laxative
emedy she uses the gentle and
deasant Syrup of figs, manufac
tured by the Cahiornia Fig
Syrup Co , only.
