Five cents entitles a boy to bed and board, wiih the privilege of indulging in the ample supply of books, papers and magazines that cover the long table of the reading-room. G S here 1s nothing very elaborate just at present at the Newsboys' Hotel. One great long room rejoices in the varlous cognomens of sleeping apart- menty reading-room and parlor. Twenty beds flil the place, and the boys point with reasonable pride to the ciean sheets, scanty pillow and threadbare comforters. “Aren’t they fine?”’ THE newsboys have gone into the said a little tot, who was one of the first to sign the hotel's register. “Look at them sheets, see the pillows, and, say, what do vou think of the comforters? This ain't no mission place. We newsboys got it up by ourselves for ourselves. Joe Simpson is running this place, and Joe is & newsboy hisseM.” Stmpson; to whom all honor is due for organizing the home, sells papers at the ferry. The boys have joined with him heart and soul in the enterprise and are bound to make the institution will be installed to preside over the combined destinies of the beds and the table, and preparations are also under way for the arrangement of twenty more beds on the upper floor of the building now occupied by the boys. +OHOHT+ O +0+ 0+ 04040404040 101040+ 010+ 0 +0+040+010 a success.

After a stop of six days at Hilo the | Adams will go to Honolulu, where she will stay from June 9 to June 19. She will arrive at Port Angeles, Wash. ! July 15, and sail for Victoria, B.

The Phelps will come off the dry dock on Monday and will go to Harrison street wharf where she will take in ballast for a voy- | to Honolulu, where she is to load age sugar for New York. The Phe! has the | best accommodations of any sailing ves- | sel afloat for passengers and she will | carry a limited number to Hawaii. | Each of the whalers that has left port | during the Fas( few weeks has taken | away several casks of peculiar construc- tion that are warranted to withstand a terrific pressure. They are being sent out by the Geographical Society of Philadel- p?\la and are to be thrown overboard in the Arctic Ocean. The idea is to deter- mine if possible the course of the cur- rents in the frozen north and also to| test the theory of an open around the pole. Captain Russell, who has been on the sick list for some time, has recovered and went out Thursday in command of the Mail Company’s steamer Costa Rica. He will join his own steamer, the San Blas, at one of the Central American | ports, and Captain Url will take the Costa Rica. The transport City of Puebla sailed for | Manila_last night with 600 men of the Ninth Regiment of infantry. Lieutenant Vitale, military attache of the Itallan legation in Washington, was also a pas- senger. “CARMEN" REPEATED That the first performance of “Carmen” made a genuine stir among the opera- goers was evidenced last night by the crowded house that greeted its repetition.

How hopeless the future appears, month after month the same siege with menstrual pain! Comparatively few women understand that excessive pain indicates ill-health, or some serious derangement of the feminine organs. A million women have been helped by Mrs. Pinkham. Read what two of them say. Mgs. Lizzie CoLEMAN, of Wayland, N. Y., writes: < DEar MRs. PinknaM—For years I suffered with painful menstruation and falling of womb. The bearing-down pains in my back and hips were dreadful. 1 could not stand for more than five minutes at a time when menstruation began. But thanks to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- o table Compound, my sufferings are now g ; a thing of the past. I shall gladly § recommend your medicines to all my friends.” Miss C. D. Morris, 3 Louisburg Square, Boston, Mass., writes: «Drar Mrs. PINKHAM—I have been using Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and it has helped me wonderfully. I was troubled with headache, backache § and that weak and tired feeling. I cannot say enough in praiseof your medicine for it has done me so much good. I shall recommend it to all my friends who suffer.” Despondency is a dis- ease. Nervousness and snappishness come with DESPONDENT it. Will power won't overcome it. The femi- | nine organs are con- nected by mnerves with the brain and all parts of the body. These organs must be healthy or the mind is not healthy. All low-spirited or suffering women may write to Mrs. Pink- ham at Lynn, Mass., and receive her advice free of charge. Don't wait until your life is wrecked by neglect and suffering. | _Get advice in time. = % N 70 GET.ITS BENEFIY " 0 5ot etz BUY THE GENUINE ¢ CAloiN 16 p LOUISVILLE K Y. Sy CNEw YORK NY, US A, LONDON ENG. =& AN GLCEKKENT GOMBINATI THE pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well-known remedy, SyruP OF Fi1Gs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company, illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxative principles of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxative, CLEANSING THE SYSTEM EFFECTUALLY, DISPELLING COLDS AND HEADACHES, PREVENTING FEVERS, OVERCOMING HABITUAL CONSTIPATION PERMANENTLY. s perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and substance, and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, gently yet promptly, 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 ARE OBTAINED FROM SENNA AND OTHER AROMATIC PLANTS, by a method known to the California Fig Syrup Company only. In order to get its beneficial effects, and to avoid imitations, please remember the full name of the Company printed on the front of every package. Consumers of the choicest products of modern commerce purchase at about the same price that others pay for cheap and worthless imitations. To come into universal demand and to be everywhere considered the best of its class, an article must be capable of satisfying the wants and tastes of the best informed purchasers. The California Fig Syrup Company having met with the highest success in the manufacture and sale of its excellent liquid laxative remedy, SYRUP OF FIGs, it has become important to all to have a knowledge of the Company and its product. The California Fig Syrup Company was organized more than fifteen years ago, for the special purpose of manufacturing and selling a laxative remedy which would be more pleasant to the taste and more beneficial in effect than any other known. The great value of the remedy, as a medicinal agent and of the Company’s efforts, is attested by the sale of millions of bottles ennually, and by the high approval of most eminent physicians. As the true and genuine remedy named Svrup o Fios is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company only, the knowledge of that fact will assist in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other parties.
