people. Immense flags anil pennants, pic-
tures of the senator and banners of wel-
come were everywhere displayed. An im-
mense parade was already formed. Mili-
tary and civic and labor organizations
made up the procession and the "Teller
Silver Club." 2000 strong, was in line. As
the senator stepped from the train there
went up a mighty shout. The roar of hu-
man voices drowned out tlie noise of the
bombs.
THE TWO-THIRDS RULE.
Action of tlio Illinois Delegation Mny
Not He Indorses!.
Chicago. 111., July 1.—It is not yet certain
•whether there will be a general disposition
in the convention to follow the lead of the
Illinois delegation in declaring for the ab-
rogation of the two-thirds rule. The action
of the Illinois people in the matter has had
the effect of reviving interest in the sub-
ject. There is unquestionably a strong fac-
tion favorable to the course outlined by the
Illlnoisans, who contend, as did Governor
Altgeld, that the rule is undemocratic and
who would like to see it canceled upon gen-
eral principles. If, however, it is abrogated
the action will be due to the difficulty cf
securing the necessary two-tiiirds to nomi-
nate with the rule still in existence. It is
contended by many men that by the time
the nominating stage of the convention is
reached the silver men will be able to com-
mand fully two-thirds of the voting
etrengh, and they argue that if this should
be the case there will be no necessity for
changing the rules. It is uggested that the
change may come at the opening of the
convention on a motion to adopt the rules
of previous conventions for the guidance of
the temporary organization and until the
committee on rules can have an opportun-
ity to pass upon the subject. This is one
of the questions which the silver committee
will possibly consider, and until its verdict
Is registered no programme can be made.
Delegates Arriving; and Expected.
Chicago, 111., July 1.—The delegates from
North Dakota are expected to open their
headquarters at the Palmer house to-mor-
row, and a number of the Michigan dele-
gates are already upon the ground. The
men who were expected to make their
headquarters at the Palmer have concluded
to shift to the Clifton house, and the rooms
of the delegation are expected to be opened
to-day.
Three members of the Michigan delega-
tion arrived here last evening, but were
averse to talking to newspaper men. Michi-
gan is regarded ns the pivotal state, as of
the 28 votes 13 are for sound money and
there are three contested seats. It is sup-
posed that the three contested seats-will be
given to the free silverites, and in that
case the vote of that state would make the
requisite two-thirds majority. None of tho
Michigan delegates, however, would sub-
mit to an interview last night, and they
would express no opinion as to the outcome
of the contests. Two of the southern states
—Alabama and Georgia—will be represented
in Chicago to-morrow.
IlnilroiHlM Preparing; for Crowds.
Chicago, III., July 1.—The roads centering
in Chicago are making great preparations
for carrying the crowds coming to the con-
vention, but do not anticipate any big rush
before Sunday night or Monday morning.
The St. Paul, Northwestern, Burlington,
Alton and Wabash roads are all arranging
for running their trains in several sections.
From the east the Grand Trunk will bring
In Sunday afternoon two special trains
from Detroit and Saginaw, carrying the
Michigan state democrats. The Lake Shore
and Erie railroads are already beginning
to show signs of convention travel, and
some of the biggest clubs in the east will
be landed here Sunday early in the even-
ing. The Santa Fe, from Kansas and the
territories, expects all kinds of crowds.
T ey will come from all directions, but will
not put in an appearance earlier than Mon-
day morning.
HOBART VISITS M'lvlM.EY,
JSpeuks to a Crowrt-VnriouN \ isitors
to t'liiiton and Aleli in ley.
Canton, O., July 1.—Governor McKinley
drove to the Fort Wayne station shortly
after 10 o'clock this morning to personally
meet and greet his invited guest to-day,
Hon. Garrett A Hobart, who wired yester-
day he would call on the governor to-day.
A large crowd of people gathered at the
station to witness the meeting of the two
distinguished men, although the affair was
Informal in every reject. As Mr. llobart
stepped from the train Governor McKinley
took him by the arm and they walked to
the carriage amid the applause of the big
crowd. The governor and his guest were
driven quickly to the former's home, where
Mr. Hobart was presented to a number of
Governor McKinley's neighbors, after
which they retired to the library in the
major's home. It is not probable that
either Governor McKinley or Mr. Hobart
will make any stumping campaign.
The Associated Press reporter, on the
drive from the station to the McKinby
hoine, asked the gentlemen if they had ever
met before. The response was quick. Gov-
ernor McKinley had known Mr. Hobart for
many years, recalling meeting him at a
large political gathering In Newark, while
Mr. Hobart had known of Major McKinley
twenty years. It is understood at the con-
ference of the republican nominees to-day
it was mutually agreed, as far as present
intentions are concerned, that neither of
them will depart from their homes for any
campaign tour. It is believed that Gov-
ernor McKinley has virtually decided to
give up any idea of complying with the
wishes of his friends that he take a rest,
as suggested by them. It is probable that
Governor McKinley will remain in Canton
until the campaign closes.
In order to make train connections, Mr.
Garrett A. llobart took an early lunch with
Governor McKinley and left for Cleveland
at 12.30.
Mr. llobart had been at the McKinley
residence but bait' an hour when a large
Medina delegation, with bunds and banners,
called. McKinley and Hobart were greeted
with cheers as they for the lirst time ap-
peared together on the same platform to
speak.
Mr. Hobart: "I thank you for the com-
pliment of this call. 1 think I will speak
but briefly on this occasion, when my only
business is to pay my respects to your most
distinguished fellow citizftn. New Jersey
feels very near to Ohio in these da vs. lit
the convention lately held in St. Louis there
were no more constant friends, no more de-
voted admirers, than were those delegates
from New Jersey. We feel we have the
right to say a word in a republican conven-
tion nowadays, for only last fall we carried
for the republican party the state of New
Jersey with a grand majority oi 27.900. (Ap-
plause.) New Jersey greets Ohio to-day,
and New Jersey will greet Ohio in Novem-
ber next with a majority of not less than
60.000." (Applause.)
Governor McKinley said: "I thank you
gentlemen, for the compliment of your call!
I will be glad to meet as many of you as
possible during the Intervals which you
spend here." (Applause.)
Then both McKinley and Hobart shook
hands with the big crowd.
At 3 o'clock 200 glass workers anil rolling
mill men from Massillon, O.. with band and
glass badges and cane, called at the Mc-
Kinley home and were presented by their
leader, Joseph Grapevine, who talked of
protection as the safeguard of their indus-
try, to which Governor McKinley respond-
ed, thanking the delegation for their cor-
dial greetings and congratulations.
At 4.15 a special carload of St. Louis busi-
ness men arrived. They were headed by
Hon. K. S. Kerens, and sent Governor Mc-
Kinley an invitation to dine with them in
their car. McKinley was compelled to de-
cline owing to an engagement to meet 3U00
Christian Endeavor delegates to the stale
convention here.
Promptly at 5 o'clock the delegation, 3000
Strong, marched to the McKinley residence.
They made a handsome sight as they
crowded about the McKinley grounds, over-
flowing the streets for a block both ways,
and waving their flags and handkerchiefs
in enthusiastic aeeoru.
Governor McKinley mounted a chair on
the piazza to respond to the presentation of
President 11. J. Bamberger of Columbia.
The St. Louis delegation was presented in
McKinley's sitting room by the Hon. R S
Kerens. Governor McKinley replied as fol-
lows:
"Gentlemen: I appreciate very much the
ra" of this representative body of business
men of St. Louis and the state of Mis-
souri, and thank you very much for your
expression of regard and good will. What
we want is a restoration of the policv which
lasted tor more than thirty years, and un-
tie!- which we enjoyed the most exceptional
prosperity. What the republican party has
done in the past for the country it can be
rolled upon to do in the future. It Is a
matter of pride and gratification to all of
us that the party, now little more than a
third of a century old, has never failed to
mc i every demand and exigency of the
goVtf Meat, and if the cardinal doctrines
of the party, protection, reciprocity and
sound money, can be carried by the pro-
nounced majority confidence will be re-
sumed. And after all. that has everything
to do with the business of the country.
We will enter upon an era of better times,
which 1 believe will last for many years.
I thank you for this call."
The Kerens party left here at 9 o'clock
to-night, going direct to Chicago.
Hon. Purchard Hayes, son of the late
President Hayes, and family arrived at tho
McKinley home this evening for a visit.

Duluth was chosen temporary chairman.
On taking the chair Mr. Benham spoke
briefly, eulogizing republican principles and
candidates. After the election of D. M.

Chief among our standard principles is
a protective tariff that cares for American
interests and secures the highest good for
American labor: a reciprocity that, while
seeking out the world's markets for our
surplus products, will never yield up a sin-
gle day's wages that belongs to the Ameri-
ican workman; a sound dollar, as sound
as the government and as untarnished as
its flag; a dollar that is good not only at
home, but good wherever the trade goes—
as good in the hands of a farmer or a
workingman as in the hands of a capitalist,
a manufacturer or corporation.
"The republicans of Nebraska most
heartily indorse the nomination of their
first choice. William McKinley of Ohio, for
president and Garrett A. Hobart for vice

undivided support."

I.oulMinnu Crop*.
Logansport, La., June 29.—The corn crop

creased about 10 per cent in corn and in-
creased about IT. per cent in cotton over last
year. A good rain fell north and east of
here within two miles of this place.
If you have decided to take Hood's Sarsa-
parilla, do not bo induced to buy any other.

AN ESSAY ON ROASTING
With Casual Reference to a Sprinting
Match in the Western League.
Von der Ahe's Full.
In the second half of the Texas league
season, which begins on July 4, Manager
.Work intends to handle the men on the
field himself. He figures on getting 20 per
cent better work out of them if he is in
the game himself, as he thinks his pres-
ence will give them confidence and steady
them at critical points. The second half of
the season will see the clubs enter the race
much stronger as a rule than they were
earlier. Austin, San Antonio and Denison
are playing a much better game than they
were two weeks ago. while Paris in playing
strength is unquestionably stronger than
Sherman was. Dallas has several new men,
while Fort Worth and Houston have about
the same teams they started out with. Gal-
veston. with the addition of one good pitch-
er, would be able to successfully meet all
comers. The eighteen games just ended in
the west and north show that the team is
able to hold up its end away from home.
Nine were won and nine lost on foreign
grounds—not a bad showing at all for a
club several of whose players have been on
vthe sick list during the trip. With such a
creditable record for a road trip they
should certainly win two-thirds of the
games on the home grounds. Blakey has
added greatly both to the fielding and bat-
ting strength of the team. He is playing
his old position on third, while Hoover has
been shifted to short, where he is doing
first class work.
Galveston and Houston will play in
Houston Saturday morning and in Galves-
ton Saturday afternoon.
Austin 7, Paris 3,
Paris, Tex., July 1.—Austin could not play
£he last game of her series here yesterday
on account of rain, but played it this
morning. The Parisians were easy victims.
They lacked ginger from the start.

A Tough Game.
The good eye and the glass arm some-
times get on good terms, even in the major
leagues, and conspire to pump the fans full
of bilious ennui. Up in St. Paul about ten
days ago there was a game that never—no,
never—could have been finished on a Texas
field. If Billy Work's aggregation under-
took to palm off such an exhibition for
baseball playing there would be eighteen
lunerals before the sun went down, and
one thrown in to lit Work for good meas-
ure. Yet this game was between Jimmy
Manning's Kansas City Cuckoos, which
hold third place in the Western league, and
the St. Paul team. Which is not a tail-
ender by any means. St. Paul made two
runs in the first inning and at once felt
safe as to the final result. But Kansas
City went in and knocked out four and
was sure the game was won. St. Paul was
in good trim, however, and in the second
heat harvested two more and tied the
score. Then the Kaw crew sailed in to
make it emphatic and strung ten scores in
the inning, making their total fourteen.
Then they were sure that the battle was
won. In the third each added two, making
it It! to 6. A game that nets twenty-two
runs is no slouch as a sprinting match.
But in this tiresome instance it was only a
starter. In the fourth inning St. Paul
corked out five and put a nest egg in the
Kansas City game bag. making the score
11 to 10. But it was still a glorious day for
Jimmh planning. Then St. Paul piled up
seven more in the fifth inning to Kansas
City's one, making the score is to 17 and
reversing the margin. Not yet appeased,
St. Paul punched out nine more in the
sixth and allowed Kansas City to garner
three, making the totals 27 to 20.
How long would the Galveston rootatorial
choir stand such a game from Work's
wandering Willies? Forty-seven runs in
si\ innings! Why. it would be more out-
rageously disgusting than cold-blooded
murder. But that wasn't all. In the last
three innings St. Paul added seven pearls
to their necklace, giving it thirty-four
jewels, while Kansas City added one, mak-
ing their score 21.
No better speed was ever shown any-
where. It was a clear case of glass arm,
for St. Paul wore out Mullane and Phyle,
two of their sturdiest pitchers, while Dan-
iels, Hatfield and Lake officiated as start-
ers on tho other side. There were forty-
six hits made. St. Paul leading by two,
and of the seventeen errors St. Paul made
but six. And this in the boastful Western
league, where a signed contract is more
fruitful of pelf than a presidential appoint-
ment to a government job!
MiinI Ml Get on 4he Spit.
But all teams that play ball for money
or marbles must stand a roast now and
then. When Chris Von der Abe and his
coterie of Brown Leghorns were doing Texas
last spring and preparing for the National
league pennant race, every man in the
procession was as big as a mountain, while
Chris Yon der Abe could hardly find room
in this state to turn around without cramp-
ing himself. There has been a noticeable
shrinkage, however, for St. Louis is. barr-
ing the Colonels, the most subsequent party
of the league, and the efforts of the team
appear to be getting no better fast. This
is the way they were greeted by a SL
Louis paper upon their recent return from
a swing around the circle:
"To-morrow we have them with us again.
It is probable that, like the poor, they will
always be with us. There are institutions
in St. Louis maintained by the public where
ihe poor are cared for and kept from tho
sights of the world. The public of St.
Louis would no doubt subscribe liberally
for the maintenance of an institution in
which the Browns could be kept from the
world and prevented from playing ball."
And this was another greeting:
"No 'umpire' or unsavory 'hard luck'
tales will go in St. Louis henceforth. The
Browns will be playing right here in St.
Louis, where the coldly critical eyes of the
St. Louis fans can follow their every
move."
it is said that the team is composed of
well-behaved, gentlemanly fellows, who are
trying to win, but can't, and it is pro-
claimed that St. Louis wants no more "nice
fellows," but demands ball tossers, regard-
less of social accomplishments.
Huh No Sitfiti Hen nee.
There has been a great deal of criticism
heard concerning the fact that Galveston
was trounced at Fort Worth the other day
to the tune of 31 to 4. About the onlv sig-
nificance that can be attached to such a
deplorable event is that the Galveston team
was in a crippled condition. It is seldom
that a team goes away from home on a
long tour that it doesn't get crippled. And
even if the Galveston team were in the
pink of condition, it is no great disgrace to
be badly beaten now and then by a good
team. No one will deny that the Fort
Worth team is a good one. A one-sided
game is likely to occur at any time with
the best of talent.
Galveston lit, Calvert 1.
Calvert, Tex., July 1.—The Calvert people
enjoyed some rare sport to-day in witness-
ing an exhibition game of baseball by the
Galveston league team. The Calvert ama-
teurs hardly" amused the visitors. The su-
perior batting, catching and pitching of the
Galveston team was admired by everyone
and showed them to be masters'of the art.
1 he score stood 13 to 1 in favor of Galves-
ton, and that one was given the home team
in the last inning to keep the bovs from
feeling too badly. The game was played
in one hour and a quarter.
After the MoerleiiiN.
The Athletic baseball club would like to
arrange a game with the Moerlein club for
next Sunday on Fourteenth and N for any
amount. Following are the players and po-
sitions of the Athletics: B. Luitich. catch-
er; \ ordenbaumen, pitcher; F. Siercovich,
first base; W. Odell. second base; F. Her-
zog. third base; Sharp, shortstop: G. Har-
rison, left field: J. Harrison, center field-
Kauffman, right field; T. Fitzwilliam, man-
ager; J. Luitich, captain.
Mnrlin and Bremond.
Marlin, Tex., June 30.—The Marlin an^l
Bremond baseball teams had a game here
to-day, with a score of 10 to 12 in favor of
Bremond.
Maroons Defeated.
Honey Grove, Tex., July l.-The Austin
league team defeated the Maroons of this
city to-day. Score, 9 to 11.
Henlsou and Paris.
Bonham, Tex., July 1.—The Denison and
Paris game resulted in a score of 12 to 6
in favor of Denison.
THE TURF.
Chicago Trotting Events.
Chicago, July 1.—Joe Patehen and John
R. Gentry will meet for the first time to-
morrow afternoon at the famous Washing-
ton park, and, judging by their condition
to-night, a great contest may be expected.
Gentry's mile in 2.03^ last week speaks for
him. It has been common talk about Wash-
ington park that Joe Patehen is not in
condition, and so generally was this state-
ment accepted that it has interfered ma-
terially with the interest in the meeting.
Gentry being considered a sure winner: but
Currie, Patehen's trainer and driver, to-
night waved his hands angrily in allud-
ing to the talk about Patehen's condition
and declared it emanated from his (Cur-
rie's) enemies. "If Gentry beats my horse
to-morrow." said he. "he will have to go
the best race he ever has gone in his life.'
The Gentry-Patchen race will consist of
two heats out of three instead of the regu-
lar three out of five.

CYCLING.
W ill Have to Put I p.
The following correspondence, which ex-
plains itself, is of particular interest to the
cyclists who indulge in racing, especially
those who participated in the recent Gal-
veston meet:
Galveston, June 24.—Mr. D. W. Roberts,
Member of Racing Board, L. A. W., St.
Louis—Dear Sir: We endeavored to operate
at our recent meet in strict accordance with
the L. A. W. racing rules for 1896. In some
instances both amateurs and professionals
claimed that usages and customs did not
correspond with the rules in many cases.
On page 14 of the rules we find in section
4. article C, under the head of entries, thai,
it is provided that entrance fees must in all
cases be paid in advance, etc. We con-
strued this to mean that the fees must be
paid at the time of entrance and for all
races entered for. The riders claimed, how-
ever. that they should be allowed to enter
for anything to which they were eligible,
and pay before starting only for such races
as they started in. We made a demand for
the full amount of the face, but accepted
payments according to their version of the
rules, with the understanding that the mat-
ter would be left to you for decision, which
I now request at your earliest convenience.
Respectfully. C. H. M'MASTER.
Secretary Galveston Cycle Association.
The answer to the above was received
yesterday and is as follows:
St. Louis. Mo., June 26.—Mr. C. H. Mo-
Master. Galveston—Dear Sir: Riders must
pay for every race they enter for whether
they ride or not. The fee is supposed to be
paid for the privilege of riding and if they
do not avail themselves of the privilege it
is their own fault. All fees should accom-
pany the entry. The handicapper has to be
paid whether the men start or not. Yours
truly, D. W. ROBERTS.

THE YALE CREW.
The Boyfr popular With the English
Sporting Public.
Henley-on-the-Thames, July 1.—(Copy-
right, 1896, by the Associated Press.)—The
near approach of the day set apart for the
royal Henley regatta, July 6, 7 and 9, is
increasing the already very great interest
manifested in the gallant young Americans
who are going to uphold the glorious tra-
ditions of Yale on the Thames. From the
first moment of their appearance here up
to the present time they have steadily im-
proved in form, and have- most assuredly
deservedly won the approbation of the press
and public. On all sides the New Haven
oarsmen are classed as thorough gentle-
men and sportsmen of the first water. Con-
sequently. however strong may be the de-
sire among Englishmen to see the grand
challenge cup successfully defended by a
home crew, nobody will begrudge the Yale
boys the victory if they defeat the crack
crews of Great Britain, and their triumph
is certain to be greeted as enthusiastically
as if the Leander or New College turn out
to be winners.
llritish Press Opinions.
London. July 1.—The Star's Henley cor-
respondent telegraphs: "The Yale men look
fit to row for a kingdom. bui*T^ey are not
yet good enough to win the grand, although
they have plenty of time to improve. The
Leanders are less powerful than in 1V.»5,
nevertheless they will take a lot of beat-
ing."
The Evening News' correspondent at Hen-
ley says: "Nobody tan speak too well of
the Yale men. They are hardly likely to
win, but they certainly will give a good
account of themselves."

UNIVERSITY REGENTS,
A Movement Looking to the Rest In-
terests of Institutions and Pupils.
Bryan, Tex., July l.-On June 30, 1896, the
board of regents of the university of Texas
met at the agricultural and mechanical col-
lege by invitation of the board of directors
of said institution. As it was their i t visit,
it was of more than ordinary intt.cat and
enabled them to obtain a better under-
standing of the college affairs.
At the joint meeting of the boards Dr. T.
D. Wooten, chairman of the regents, was
chosen ro preside as chairman of the meet-
ing, and Hon. \Y. R. Cavitt us secretary.
All members of the two boards were pres-
ent except Dr. Thompson of Galveston, who
was absent from the state. The following
proceedings were adopted by a unanimous
vote, to-wit:
it was recommended that a joint commit-
tee be appointed, to be composed of the
president of the university of Texas and
such two members of his faculty as he may
select, and of the president of the agricul-
tural and mechanical college and such two
members of his faculty as he may select, to
whose consideration shall be submitted the
question of the advisability of so revising
the curricula of the university and its
branches as to economize, if possible, in the
interest of the state and of students, and
with a view of so arranging the courses in
these institutions that students taking
courses in one branch may receive credit for
the same in the other, and that said joint
committee be requested to make their re-
port and recommendations to the respective
boards of said institutions on or before Jan-
uary 1. IN! 17.
The cultivation of closer and more cordial
relations between the alumni of the univer-
sity and its branches was also recommended
to the end that their joint efforts may bet-
ter advance the educational interests of
Texas, and that they may all feel that they
are children of a common mother.
The following order was also made in
joint session:
"It is hereby ordered that hereafter, when
any student shall be dismissed or expelled
from either of the branches of the universi-
ty of Texas on account of any immoral or
other conduct which would render him an
unfit character to be matriculated in any
of such branches, it shall therefore be the
duty of the branch so expelling or dismiss-
ing such student to mmediately notify the
other branch of their action, whereupon
such other branch shall refuse to receive
such student for matriculation or even for
examination should he apply therefor, until
the branch which has so expelled or dis-
missed him has rescinded or reconsidered
its former action and recommended such
student for admission into such other
branch at which he may apply."
The board adjourned to meet August 3 in
Galveston.
liotird of Regents Adjourn.
Bryan, Brazos Co., Tex., July 1.—The
board of regents of the state university,
which has been in session at the agricultur-
al and mechanical college the past two days,
adjourned this morning and returned home.
The board of directors of the agricultural
and mechanical college, however, are yet in
session, disposing of routine business.*

Flatonia, Fayette Co., Tex., July 1.—The
Flatonia normal will begin its session Mon-
day, July 6. Every convenience and facility
will be offered those desiring to attend.
Prof. Wm. Cnllen will be the conductor, as-
sisted by Prof. C. A. Jameson and Prof. J.
A. Bell. The normal will continue four

Verdict Attiruied.
Chicago. 111., July 1.—The appellate court
has affirmed the verdict of $40.0u0 granted
to Herbert Gehr against the Mexican Cen-
tral road. Gehr was formerly paymaster
of the road and was imprisoned on the
charge of taking sums of money, amount-
ing in all to about $10,00'.). His case never
came to trial, and after returning to this
country he brought suit lor damages.
Held an Inquest.
Coroner Barry was called out at 3 o'clock
yesterday morning to held an inquest upon
the remains of Mary Ann Kobison. a col-
ored woman of 7s years, who had died sud-
denly about an hour and a half before at
her home, on the north side of Broadway,
between Twenty-ninth and Thirtieth
streets. He found that death was due to
heart disease.
Gladness Comes
\ A / ith a better understanding of the
* V transient nature of the many phys-
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis-
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt-
ly removes. That is why it. is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
ficial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If iu the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere. Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
