PITTSBURG ON DECK
Ate Atlantic City, Where the Wild
Waves Are Never Sad.
THEY HAVE FADS AND FANCIES
And Also the Cold Cash to Command
Respectful Attention.
FIRST wHIFF FROM THE HAPPY LAND

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
ATLANTIC CITY, June 15.-Despite the
fact that the country is about to plunge
wildly into that great social disturbance, q
national campaign, the residents of this
famous lounging spot BY the sea look
forward with assurance to q season of
the liveliest and most brilliant char
acter. Indications of it are to be seen
on all sides, and when the season was for
mally opened to-day glimpse at the differ
ent hotel registers was sufficient to explain
the contented smiles of anticipation which,
even at this early date, adorn the visages of
the army of landlords. Even the allure
ments of national politics will not be tempt
ing enough to keep the great leaders away,
and the game" will go on all summer with
the ablest exponents of each party battling
for the supremacy from this point.
Chris Magee, whose temporary victory
over his old-tlme foe, Quay, at Minneapolis
has made him a conspicuous figure of the
country, will spend the season at the Tray
more, where he has engaged the most elab-
crate and expensive suite of rooms in the
house. Hitherto Mr.. Magee has contented
himself with modest room on the sec
ond floor of that famous hostelrie,
but during tho present season he
will disport himself in apartments big
enough for ten persons The utterance of
Chauncey Depew the other day to the effect
that Magee's methods, coupled with his
knowledge of politics, would make him in
valuable as leader and counsellor in the
Republican party, is particularly signif-
cant SO far as Atlantic City is concerned,
for it indicates that the politi cal Mecca of
the coming campaign will be cooled by the
breezes which blow from the ocean at this
point

DILLON AND O'BRIEN SPEAK.

FarheIIItes Are Doing Tor Them.
DUBLIN, June 14-John Dillon made q
speech at Cork to-day. He said the Par
nellites were boasting because the anti Par
nellites were short of funds, but that short
age was due to their iberality to eyicted
tenants. Out of 100000 collected eli. 900
had been given to evicted tenants. The
anti-Parnellites, he added, had done everv-
thing possible to restore unity, but the Par
nellites had rejected all offers, and now the
battle must be fought ont.
William O'BrIen also spoke at Cork to-
day. He declared that Mr.. Harrington's
proposals were not intended to be accepted;
they were merely intended for consumption
in America 1t was less important, he said,
to avoid petty election squabbles than to
allow Ireland to speak with no uncertain
voice.

A WOMAN NEARLY STARVED f!


Food Brought Back Strength and
Hea,th-Diet Suggestions for Invalids.
A sad case of starvation has come to light in
Bernardston, Mass.
About ten years ago Mrs. A. C. Brooks, of that
town, was taken seriously ILL. and since that tim
has been an invalid.
The simplest kind of food rejected by her
weak stomach and medicine had no good effect.
She could not eat even broths or meat juice and
most of the time her stomach was weak that 1t
could not retain beef tea.
Nine different physicians attended her and her
case excited a great deal of interest among the
medical profession. They agreed in saying it was
the most severe case of indigestion they had ever
seen. 1t looked az though her days were numbered,
for she was nearly starved to death. Yet when
hope seemed lost, there came a change and Mrs.
Brooks states to-day:
'.Dr. W. H. Pierce recommended me to use
lactated food. I did so. Lactated food gave me
health and strength, and my restoration is due to
that alone.''
There are many whose condition, though not so
severe, is similar to that described above, where
an easily digested, Strengthening and appetizing
food is absolu te necessity. In all weakened and
debilitated conditions actated food will give tone
to the system create an appetite, restore strength
and hasten recovery. 1t is invaluable in fevers,
dyspepsia and all wasting diseases. Invalids. dys-

gestion are weakened. find great good in this pure

pertaining to dietetics They will send free a

where proper food is of more value to the patient
than the nauseating and powerful drugs so COM
