It is well known to be a simple com- bination of the laxative and carminative prineiples of plants with pleasant, aromatic liqunids, which are agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired. Many of the ills from which women suffer are of a transient nature and do not come from any organie trouble and it is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is needed it is best to consult the family physician and to avoid the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nos- trums of the present day. When one needs only to remove the strain, the torpor, the congestion, or similar ills, which attend upon a constipated condi- tion of the system, use the true and gentle remedy— Syrup of Figs—and enjoy freedom from the depres- sion, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which are due to inactivity of the bowels. Only those who buy the genunine Syrup of Figs can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a guar- antee of the excellence of the remedy the full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every package and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs is fraud- ulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some first-class drug establishment, where they do not recommend, nor sell false brands, mor imitation remedies. The genuine article may be boughg of all reliable druggists everywhere at 50 cents per bottle. Mr. and Mrs. Francis J, Carolan are to nation. give a hunt breakfast to-day at their Bur- lingame home 1n honor of Mrs. Herman Oeirichs.

Residents Near the Monongahela and Alleghany Rivers Fear Great Disaster From an Ava- lanche of the Ice. i NEW YORK, Feb. 2l.—Snow, followed by rain and sleet, to-day created in this city and vicinity the most disagreeable weather conditions known in many yeurs. During the early hours of the day heavy, wet snow fell in great flakes. This condition prevailed for several hours. Shortly after noon the snow turned into a steady drizzle of rain, that continued with intermittent periods of sleet all after- noon and far into the night. Much of the snow that was left from the recent bliz- zard was quickly converted into slush, and to-night the streets are inches deep. The sldewalks tHroughout the city were covered and the crossings were almost im- passable. The work of the Street Clean- 1ng Department was undone and the city's streets are in a worse condition than be- fore thousands of snow shovelers went to work after the blizzard. During the evening the temperature droppea enough to turn the downpour of rain into a coating of ice over buildings and trees. In Ceniral Park the big trees creaked under the weight of thick ice. Many branches fell. This condition pre- vails throughout other parks in the city. Tratfic on the Brooklyn bridge was almost at a standstill. Hemvy trucks could scarcely be moved, even when four heavy horses - did - their best to get a_foot- hold on the slippery roadway. Street- car traffic everywiere was much inter- rupted, but the greatest difficulty was ex- | perienced on_crosstown horse car lines. our horses were attached to each of hese cars and had hard work getting . e e The educational department of the Cali- fornia Club meets this morning at 10:30.

Speclal Dispatch to The Call. ' SACRAMENTO, Feb. 21.—Chief of Po- lice Sullivan is confident that he has be- hind the bars of the City Prison one of the murderers of Hugh Duffy, in the per- son of Thomas Lord, who was arrested this afternoon. Lord had sold at differ- ent places about town a gold mounted penholder and a pailr of scissors stolen from the Bartels house, which Duffy was trying to protect from the burglars when he was shot. Lord gives varying accounts as to how he came by these articles, and his statements are of a contradictory character. When he offered the articles for sale at grocery stores and saloons he represented that he had found them in Lincoln. To the police he sald he found them in the grammar school yard at Fif- teenth and I streets. Lord answers the description of one of the two burglars, as given by Duffy to the police hefore he died. Two young men who had seen the fleeing thief were brought to the police station to-night, and from a dozen inmates of the prison picked out Lord as the man they saw running from the scene of the assassina- tion. Miss Duffy has been critically {ll since her father's murder, but if that she will be able to :e(g:tnlbe“ev;‘: number of natives into prison, simply be- cause they chose to follow out on old ‘Tongan custom of burning torches at the grave at night—a custom which in the case of the late King George Tubu was observed every night for more thun a ZLortnight. ze 't murderer, and Lord _probabl Taken to ner bedside for i@emtincation, o= Duffy was manager of the wholesale liquor house of Hugh Casey for many years.

Fifth avenue was a sheet of ice. It was early deserted by carriages and by mid- night nothing, save an occasional auto- mobile, was to be seen on the thorough- fare. On Broadway after the theaters closed the scene was one of great confu- sion. Cabs and carriages, drawn up in front of the theaters, were handled with great difficulty. Many horses fell. The automobiles had less trouble than the car- riages, although they were hard to handle. Many electric light wires were broken by the weight of the coating of ice and many others hung low. In ifth avenue the sidewalk along Central Park, where the trees overhang it, was almost impassable owing to the branches which were bent almost to_the earth. Jersey City was hithard and by 10 o’clock in the evening the city practically was in darkness and there was every indication that the electric service, which is wholly overhead, will be entirely out of order by morning. Electric wires were down in every part of the city. The fire alarm sys- tem was crippled and the police wires are in bad shape. Trolley cars ceased run- ning entirely late in the evening. All trains in and out of Jersey City were be- hind time, The g‘]ega,rtinx trains were de- layed by the ferfyboats, which consumed thrice the usual time in' crossing the North River. At Newark the streets were ankle deep in slush. South and west of New York telegraph and telephone wires were prostrated early in the afternoon, and although conditions improved somewhat between New York com- munication by wire with Philadelphia and Baltimore was cut off entirely. Fears of an Avalanche. PITTSBURG, Feb. 2l.—Anxiety was in- creased to-day along the Monongahela and Alleghany rivers, where great ice gorges have formed, by the continued rain and the prospects of warmer weather. River men of years' experience say that with the present weather, conditions last- ing, the ice is due to move by Sunday. Owners of imperiled property "along the river and the officials of the river coal combine are preparing to move their ef- fects so as to be clear of the impending danger. The great gorge on the Alle- ghany River, which extends seventy miles up the river and varies in thickness from five to sixteen feet, is being watched night and day by the river men and early warnings are to be given when it begins to move. It is still hoped that the rain will ceare and that the thaw will be a slow one, so that the ice may melt and move out slowly. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—A severe sleetstorm struck Washington to-night and the national capital is absolutely cut off from all telephonic or telegraphic com- munication north of Baltimore and is compelled to depend on uncertaln wires to Richmond and Atlanta for reaching the country at iarge. Aside from damage to wires, however, the storm did no injury, the sieet not being heavy enough to do much harm to trees. MASONS AT A BANQUET IN THE CAPITAL CITY ‘Washington Lodge No. 20 Celebrates the Fiftieth Amniversary of Its Institution. SACRAMENTO, Feb. 21.—The fiftieth anniversary of the organization of Wash- ington Lodge No. 20, Free and Accepted Masons, was celebrated with a banquet in Masonic Temple to-night. The event was one of the most notable in Masonic circles in this city in many years. Mem- bers of the order were present from other localities, and cheerfulness and brilliancy marked the.festivities. iram W. Johnson acted -as toastmas- ter and sketched the growth of Washing- ton Lodge from its beginning in the early ’50's to the present. One of the guests of the evening was Samuel M.

Tw‘o Counties at Loggerheads. SALINAS, Feb. 21.—What promises to cause much litigation between Santa Clara and Monterey counties over a change of venue trial was developed to- day when Countv Treasurer Taylor scught legal advice from his attorney. Banta Clara County has presented a bill to this county for Xpense {in- curred during the trial of George esser for the ,murder of Sheriff Farley. The Monterey Supervisors cut the bill to the extent of $300 85, on the ground that when the Suesser case came up for trial In San Jose .a special venire jury was engaged in another case and was chosen to sit in the trial of Suesser. The Auditor of Santa Clara County refuses to accept the reduction.

VICTORIA, B. C., Feb. 21.—Detalls were | brought ‘to-day by the steamship Miowera | of the abandonment of the bark Port Patrick, bound. from Newcastle to South Africa, after a storm off the Australian coast. The Port Patrick was found by two tugs, after a steamer had rescued the crew, and there was a fight for possession of the derelict. The Port Patrick was in Bass Straits when a gale blew from the northwest and she brought to. All sail on the main and mizzen masts was reduced, but the ship could .not be got under control and was going ashore. Anchors were lowerell, but parted, and for some hours the ship drifted toward the shore. The boats had been put over and provisioned and at 3 o’clock in the morning the crew went aft and said it intended to leave the ship. The captain refused to allow this. but officers and crew rushed to the boats, leaving him alone. He then hailed one of the boats, which returned and took him off, leaving the vessel adrift. All hands passed thirty hours in the half- filled open boats before they were picked up by the steamer Abergeldie, which took them' to Sydney. Two days atterward the tug Champion picked up the derelict and took her to Sydney. - About the same time the tug Eagle was trying to put a line on board. Both tugs-neared the abandoned vessel at the same time and lowered _boats, which raced toward the Port Patrick through a rough sea. The Champion’'s boat arrived first and four men boarded the Port Patrick. They pulled up all the ropes to prevent the men in the Eagle's boat getting on board. Two of the Cham- plon’s men stood at the ship’s side, swinging axes and threatening any of the Eagle's men who boarded. They sald the vessel was theirs by possession and de- clined to allow the Eagle to participate in the salvage. The Eagle then steamed away and the tug Champion managed to get lines aboard. 3 The ship, which had all sail set, although gome of it was much ribboned, was towed to Sydney and the Champion had flled a big salvage claim against her, which was being brought in the Admiralty Court at Sydney when the Miowera left. The Champion's crew reported that it was only by a fluke that the vessel was not wrecked. She was hemmed in by rocks when found and had it not been that her anchor caught in the cleft of a rock, she would have pounded to match- wood on the shore. The ship is valued at $100,000. SROGGY CREEK IS NOW THE GOAL OF YUKONERS Two Hundred Claims Already Staked Out Along the Stewart’s Tributary. SEATTLE, Feb. 2l.—Dawson advices state that a stampede is under way to Srogsy, Creek, a tributary of the lower Stewart. The news was brought by M. G. McLeod, Assistant Recorder at Stew- art. Said he: Fully 200 claims have been staked on the stream, and more stakers are going there right along. On my way from Stewart to Dawson I et twenty or twenty-five men bound for Sroggy.

Sieberst Recovers His Kidnaped Grand- daughter. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 2l.—Isaac Dalley, who murdered Lemuel Metz on July 10, 1900, was hanged this morning In San Quentin prison. Just twenty-one seconds elapsed from the time the murderer left his cell until the trap was sprung. On ascending the scaffold Dailey displayed no fear. As the hangman adjusted the noose the condemned man raised his eyes slightly, and as the black cap was slipped over his head he clenched his fists tightly. Rev. Father Eagan offered a last prayer for the murderer and at 10:40 o’clock War- den Aguirre gave the sign and the trap fell. Fourteen minutes later the physi- clans pronounced life extinct. The crime for which Dailey pald the death penalty was committed in moore, Kings County. Lemuel Metz, a bicycle repairer and a man with a large family, was the victim. Dalley went to Metz’'s place of business with a bicyecle to have a puncture repaired. After the work was completed he informed Metz that he did not have the 25 cents to pay him, to which Metz replied that he could settle the next day. On the second day Dailey again appeared with a punctured tire and the bicycle dealer repaired it. The same excuse was given, whereupon Metz told Dailey that he did no credit business. “Oh, you don’t, do you?” sneered Daliley, as he left the shop. In a short time he returned with a shot- gun, and with no warning whatever_shot his victim in the back. - Dailey was arrested .and in his trial pleaded insanity. He was convicted, but the case was appealed, the Supreme Court refusing to grant a new trial, and later the day of execution was set. The Gov- ernor_was appealed to for a respite, but last Monday refused to grant it. Dalley received the last edict of the State's ex- ecutive without comment, and during the time of the death watch had little to say. This morning, however, he sent for Sher- iff Buckner of Kings County and had a talk with him. Said he: ‘‘Sheriff Buckner, when I go to the gal- lows this morning I will do so without fear. I will die with a clear conscience in the fact that I know when I shot and killed Lemuel Metz I was insane or I would not have done it. That was nearly two years ago, and I have had much time to realize the enormity of my act, but nevertheless I will die with a clear con- sclence. I want to thank you for the kind treatment I received while incarcerated at Hanford and also, through you, I want to thank my friends for their strenuous efforts in my behalf. Now I am ready 0. o_go. Dailey’s body was buried in the prison aveyard this afternoon. He is survived g; a widow. His victim had a wife and six children.
