VALLEJO, April 25.—In San Pablo | Hall this morning the twenty-seventh | annual of the Grand Parlor, Native the Golden West, was called to order, the response to rollcall showing an unusually large attendance. fThe grand officers, headed by Grand sion Sons of President H. .R. McNoble, were all there, as were also four of the seven grand trustees. Several of the past grand presidents of the order are at- tending the session. The cogtests for [the offices of grand secretary and | grand treasurer overshadow everything else, ‘although there are a number of | impertant matters relating to the order and State development to come before the Grand Parlor. The retirement of Henry Lunstedt and Henry S. Martin has invited a battle royal, and the pre- | liminary skirmished are already well advanced. Those who seek the secre- | taryship are C. H.

An increase in the per capita tax is providgd for in a rescolition for the benefit of sick members of the order who belong to parlors that have al- lowed tr charters to lapse or which are in poor financial circumstances. The fund is also intended for the re- lief destitute widows and orphans | of deceased members. All the resolu- | tions were referred to committees and | will be considered later.

Joseph Arthur's thrilling drama of a | | fireman’s life, “The Still Alarm,” cap- tured the audience at the Central The- ater Jast night, and the sensational scene In the engine-house when the hero discovered that the wires had been cut, heard the still alarm and re- sponded with horses and fire engines ord time, roused the house to en- sm. The play was exciting, the performance went with spirit, and cheers and curtain calls testified to the effectivenesg of the production. Her- schel Mayall, in the role of Jack Man- ley, the ideal fireman, gave a portrayal that carried conviction with it and made a capital hit. In fact, the applause was deafening | when, on Jack's wedding day, a mes- | senger rushed in to notify the hero of | his appointment as chief of the fire de- | partment. Henry Shumer came in for | a storm of hisses in the part of the vil- ! 1ain who plots to ruin Manley and who | cute the wires in the prosecution of his desperate designs. Kugenia Thais | Lawton had the sympathy of the house |in the role of a girl who resolves to | sacrifice her happiness to shield her | father's honor. Edwin T. Emery and | Myrtle Vane are very good in light comedy parts, and Elmer Booth makes | the most of his opportunities in the | character of the old volunteer fireman, who is continually recalling the brave days of yore. George Nicholls, the rich old man in the villain's power, and Ernest Howell, as the tramp with an | honest heart, each gave a good account | of himself. “The Still Alarm” is one |of the melodramas that people never :grow tired of. It pictures the rise of | @ poor young man, in spite of many ob- | stacles, to a position of honor and prominence which he earns by sheer merit. The engine-house interior, with 'jts complete station outfit, alarm sys- tem and all, is about as realistic as it +eould possibly be made. The attrac- { winners, Chutes. ¥lo Adler, a pleasing mezzo soprano, and her pickaninny; Mitchell and Love, | “the men who can make and take a ! joke,” and Huston, a clever comedy juggler, were new at the Chutes yes- terday and they all made hits at both | performances Little Ruth Boland | changed her songs and dances; Alberta 1 C. Hadley and Helen Archer presented | new specialties in their comedy sketch, “The New French Maid,” and Story | and Van varied their selections on their odd instruments. The t'.ree Malverns, |in & daring and graceful gymnastic | performance, and the animatoscope, | showing many novel and amusing mov- }inz pictures, completed a capital pro- gramme. The amateurs will appear on Thursday night and a Mayday festival and electric Maypole dance are an- nounced for next Baturday, Sunday and Monday. Columbia.

A woman disguised as a nun, | it is said, gained entrance to the pris- | on under the pretext of giving religious congolation to the convicts. leged that this woman, whose name is unknown save to, the detectives, passed a package of money into the hands of one of the €onvicted dynam- iters. A guard noticed the exchange |and soon afterward a search revealed that the money had been passed, but the bulk of it was gone. Only a little’ remained in the lining of a convict's coat. The woman was traced to | Rochester, N. Y., and there the clew | was lost. | The prison officials believe the money | was to have been used to bribe the guards to permit the escape of the convicts. Tt is alleged the money came | from Italy, through an English woman. John Nolan, John Walsh and Karl | Dullman are serving life terms in the penitentiary in Kingston for having attempted, on April 2, 1900, to blow up the gate of the lock of the Welland canal near Thorold, nine miles above Niagara Fails. The men were alleged Na-Gael, which in turn, it was de. clared, had obtained the money from abroad. The Dominion Government secret service proféssed to have dis- covered that Dullman, Nolan anl Walsh had attempted the destruction | of the canal as a reprisal against Canada for having sent rtoops to South Africa.

Hica Crass DRucGISTS AND — OTHERS. The better clags of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high infiegfl‘{; who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies an purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians’ prescriptions an scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, o e They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy S best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises frem a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchas remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torgidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or ere 18 no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles . of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. sometimes have the name—“ Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. they find it necessary to resort o misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passea off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he'is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every- where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as excéptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return 1§ it does not bear the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists whowillsell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices. sold to them. d but r imitation medicines. and the finest and f the choicest Such preparations In order to sell the imitations et “ontinued From Page 1, Column 4. in the secretary's headquarters, When he vote was being counted he stood nside the railing and kept close tally on the result.
