President Noah Porter. He was con-
secrated on December 6, 1854, a little
more than three years after Bishop
Williams’ consecration. He is old and
infirm, and will have to perform most
of the presiding bishop’s duties by

Costly Cistern.
Waco, Tex., March 4.—The city hall
is damp and mouldy on the first flour
from the evaporation of a cistern once
which the building was erected. The
cistern holds 100,000 gallons. It was
made in 1875 to supply the city with
water for fighting fires, and In 1888
the city hall was buidt over the cis-
tern. The city council has ordered
steps taken to pump out the water and
fill up the cistern. The damage has
been in progress a long time and wil

here and there, it was thought good;
but now-a-days a laxative remedy
must give satisfaction to all. If you
have never used Syrup of Figs, give it
a trial, and you will be pleased with it,
and will recommend it to your friends
or to any who suffer from constipation,
or from over-feeding, or from colds,
headaches, biliousness, or other ills re-
sulting from an inactive condition of
the kidneys, liver and bowels.
In the process of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the
California Fig Syrup Co., and named
Syrup of Figs, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste; but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
