The Approaching Dinner Hour

Is fraught with no pleasant anticipa-
tione for the unhappy mortal plagued
with dyspepsia. Appetite seldom,
discomfort after and before meals, al
ways is his portion. Heartburn and
fiatulence subsequent to eating, a
gnawing at the pit of the stomach be-
fore it, are only few among the
woes arising from this truly impish
complaint. Sick headache, nervous
ness, constipation and biliousness are
its dlabolical offspring. Each and all
of them are annihilated by Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which tones the gas
trio organs and regulates the liver
and the bowels with certainty and
promptitude. Chills and fever, kid
ney trouble, rheumatism and neural
gia are also remedied by this medi-
cine of rare purity and comprehens-
i've uses. Invalids of all kinds are
greatly and swiftly benefited by it.

The fire started over the office and

an hour the large structure was in
complete ruins. The origin of the
fire is unknown. 1t was the latest
built summer house in the White
mountains and was provided with
modern Improvements. 1t would ,,ac.
commodate about 300 guests, and, in

COLONIZATION.
The Man Of the World Condemns It al
Likely to Prove the Unions Ruin.

Likely to Prove the Unions KUN.
There is an eIi il prevalent in this
country that should be emphatically
sat upon, thinks the man of the world,
1t is one of the most perplexing prob
lens that our people have to contend
with. 1t is none other than the dispo-
sition manifested by many immigrants
to colonize. This fact shows that there
is no possible chance for them to be-
come Americanized so long as they
ALLEVIATE themselves from the other ma
ions now living on the American con-
tinent. In this connection it may be
we'll to cite the Italian quarter of New
York or TO Russian sections In neither
of these two districts is there a word Of
English or any other tongue save Ital
ian and Russian tolerated. So long as
this exists there is no possible
chance of the denizens rising a single
degree even morally, physically or
mentally above the condition that was
prevalent in their old sections in the
old world. So long as they are per-
mitted to coloniZe in this manner just
so long is all possibility of their ever
Becoming Americanized offsett. The
solution to this problem is to make
them scatter, miDgle with other peo-
pie and hear other tongues. The
more they miogle with Americans the
more they naturally acquire our way
of acting and living. In other words,
they soon become Americans. 1t is
but natural that any man, woman or
child who comes to this country and
mingles with our people should ac-
quire within from IL to 20 months at
the outside some understanding OF our
language and our mode of living. The
Southern states are solving this prob
lem in way by requiring every voter
to be able to write and speak the Eng
lish language. Dispat ches from Phil
adeIphia show that the city council Of
that city is trying to make one move
in the direction of getting the Rus
slams and the Italians out of their old
ruts. Their scheme is to require so
many cubic feet of air to each person.
This law tends to break up the filthy
habit now prevalent in the Russian
and Italian quarters OF sick men. wo-
men and children to the number OF 20
or more in one small room. The dan
ger of permitting this colonization by
foreign clements has been agitatlng
the midds of the statesmen OF the
country for some time. Its evil is only
too forcibly shown and it 'now re-
mains for each state aud city in the
United States to give assistance by

A NOVEL INVENTION,
An Arrangement by Which Trains Can
Communicate With Each Other,

Among all the invention made of
late years looking to the prevention of
accidents on railroads is one that is
credited to F. E. Seagrave of Toledo,
o., successfully exhibited to number
of newspaper men on the railroad
track at the Maumee rolling mill re-
cently,an apparatus by which railroad
accidents may be averted. The exhi-
bition was made through the medium
of two hand cars. A central, an cleo =
trio battery and small wheel or me-
talic brush is about the only extra
thing necessary on every railroad in
the country. The device, upon which
letters patent will soon issue, looks es-
pecially to the prevention of collisions
between trains and accidents due to
the neglect or carelessness of railroad
employees at stations, according
to the Bee. By this arrangement an
alarm is sounded in the cabs of the
locomotives, when two trains are ap-
preaching each other on the same
track, moving in the opposite direc.
ton, or one train following the other.
This alarm advises the engineer of the
proximity of another train and enables
him to put the train under control
and avoid accident. A simple contriv.
ance in each cab enables the engineer
of either train to signal to and COM
municate with the engineer
of the other, though both
may be moving and not
in sight of each other, thus
communications and orders may be
given in order to avoid collisions. By
the application of the same principle
the station agent can communicate
with a train approaching a station
one or two miles distant and can COM
municate equally as well with train
that is leaving station and give Or
ders looking to the safety of the train.
In addition to this the device provides
that an alarm in the cab shall sound
if train is approaching an open
switch or drawbridge. A large per-
centage of accidents to moving trains
occur under the conditions named,
and if this device will enable trains
to be operated with greater safety,
and prevent, to any considerable eX-
sent, accidents attending the collision
of trains and open switches, it would
seem to be of very considerable i'm
portance. In addition to this, how.
ever, the ability of an engineer of a
moving train to communicate with
the engineer of another moving train,
and especially of the possibility of an
operator at the station to communi
cate with and give orders to an APP
preaching or retreating train, when
one or two miles distant from sta
ton, certainly renders this invention
of great importance.
