battleship Texas. said that nothing could
be more lucid than Admiral Brown E
statement that appeared in the Richmond
Times yesterday morning. The situa-
tion was this: That owing TO delays
in completing the hull Of the Texas. the
Government had more than year ago
taken the machinery off his hands and
paid for IT, rcserving however. a sum
sufficient to pay for final work and adj
justing that could not be done until the
ship itself was entirely finished.
The ship is now finished and the Gov
eminent is having preliminary runs made
in order to adjust and make such alter
ations? and changes as are usual and
necessary in putting such a mass Of ma
chnery in perfect working order
Its weight is 10000 pounds and this.

means. on Monday the Judge Advo-
cate General stated that he had no idea
OF converting his Inspection Board
which Will number some II engineer
officers. until he had notice from Captain
Glass. of the Texas, that he was ready TO
turn the work over to US. There has
been no experience that was not antici-
pated.

The Business on the Stock Exchange Was
 Less Active Than Formerly.

The Business on the Stock Exchange Was
 Less Active Than Formerly.
 New York, Sept. 17.-Business at the stock exchange was less active to-day, The transactions in the railway bond department were also on smaller scale, The course of prices, however, was up ward throughout, save for a. slight de- cline in the early dealings due to raid on Rock Island, which carried that stock down from IS to 76%. The change in sentiment and the improvement in prices which followed the break noted was due to the light engagement of gold, only $400, ,00O having been taken for to-morrow's steamers; the slightly cas- fer condition of the sterling exchange money, some foreign buying of St. Paul and other stocks, and the further ad- vance in coal prices announced from Philadelphia.
 These favorable developments led to a general covering movement and an advance of 4 to S5s per cent. was re- corded, The greatest gains were made by Jersey Central, Reading, Delaware and Hudson, Pacific Mail, the grangers, Manhattan, Northern Pacific preferred and the industrials. Chicago Gas and Sugar were the features of the last named group, Gas rising from 621a to 651a@65, and Sugar from 10515 to 107ss@ 107 The rise in Chicago Gas was, at trihuted to purchases by the Benedict party. It is known, however, that cer- tain Chicago operators now in the city were also buyers. Sugar was strength ened by the improved condition of the trade and bull manipulation. Pacific Mail rose to 3311s and closed at that figure bid on the revival of the report that the difference between the com- pany and the Panama had been adjust ed.

A COMMON CAUSE OF SICKNESS.
In Warm Weather Nothing SO DnngerOl
 as Decayed Foods

hS Decayed fOuus.
 Everyone knows or ought to know that decayed foods are poisonous. Boards of health seek to prevent their sale
 We now have in mind the results which follow the decay and decompo- sition of foods after they have been eaten, for unless digestion occurs with in a reasonable time after our meals, decomposition sets in.
 If dyspeptlcs will stop and consider for moment some of the symptoms of their trouble such as disagreeable breath, eructations of gas or bad taste in the mouth. they will understand that they all must come from decaying foods that ought properly to have been absorbed into the system.
 Spots before the eyes, dizziness, sleeplessness, dyspeptic headaches and but a few of the effects following the absorption into the blood of poisons developed from decomposing and undi- gested food that lies in the stomach. It was a recognition of this impor- tant fact that caused the Mount Leba- non Shakers to devote so much of their time to the preparation of a remedy for dyspepsia, and nothing is more eff ficient than the Digestive Cordial which they have recently placed on the market It's action is so prompt that relief frequently follows the very first dose. It restores the appetite and increases the weight. Plumpness and strength take the place of weakness and that care
 
 dyspeptics in every community. The local druggists are now giving away interesting descriptive pamphlets.
