INTERESTING STATEMENT
OF A NEW YORK GENTLEMAN
Regarding TIE New Discovery for Cure Of Dy'-
pepsia and lndlgestiea.

Regardiag tie New Discovery for Cure Of Oys-
pepsia and Iadlssstiea.
Some weeks ago the newspapers OF
the country devoted considerable space
to an accoun: Of an interesting discov-
cry In medicine. which, 1t was claimed.
would cure all forms of dyspepsia and
stomach troubles. Since the time many
experiments have been made with the
remedy In order to demonstrate just
how much real merit 1t possessed. The
results of these experiments have been
all that could be desired: in fact. in
many cases the cures very little short
Of wonderful.
The remedy Is prepared in lozenge or
tablet form, pleasant to the taste. and
harmless even for the stomach of an
infant. In fact, no secret Is made OF Its
ingredients, being composed Of vege-
table essences, fruit salts. pure pepsin
and bismuth. They are sold by drug
gists under the name Of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. and are undoubtedly
the safest and most reliable remedy to
use when the stomach Is weak, or any
trouble whatever with the digestive
organs.
Mr. C.. Bensinger, of the firm Of Ben
singer & Co., and Dey street, New
York city, relates his experience brief
ly but Enthusiastically. He says: Some
three months ago I purchased at a
drug store two boxes of Stuart's Dys-
pepsla Tablets and take great pleas
ure In stating that after using about
half Of one fifty cent box I felt such
a wonderful relief from she dyspepsia
I was suffering from that ] did not
need the rest of the box. Having many
| friends who We're equally troubled with
| some form or other of Indigestion, l
suggested and offered to them some of
the Tablets and the verdict Of all who
have taken them Is the same. that they
are wonderful In their effect and the
best thing Of the kind. / have nothing
but the best wishes for Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. Very truly,
| c. Bensinger,
| land Dey street, New York.
Thoughtful men and women are cau-
tious regarding patent medicines and
very properly SO. Being secret prep
arations you cannot knew just what
you are taking into your stomach. With
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, composed
as they are Of pure. fresh pepsin, vege-
table essences, fruit salts and bismuth,
no risk Is incurred. The overworked
irritable stomach Is at once invigorated
and rested, and perfect digestion means
strong nerves. and muscles, a clear
head. energy for mental or physical
work and capacity to enjoy life.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. If yours does not happen to
have them he will get them for you,
as they are sold by all wholesalers.

METEoRlTE MYsTERY.

Journey That would Take Seven AAAlAion
Years TO Cover.
When a meteoribe strikes the earth
it ends a journey Of 1000, 900 years, be
gun centuries before the Christian era.
This is on the basis that it came from
a star, for it would, according to as
Economical calculation, require the full
time given to make the trip from star
to earth.
just what these meteorites are and
from whence they come are things that
even those who have spent their lives
in studying the stars can yet do barely
more than conjecture.
An article on this subject, from the
pen of Camille Flammarion. the great
French astronomer, has just appeared
in Paris, and is of especial interest, as
it gives hitherto unpublished details
regarding the great aerolite that burst
over Spain the month before last.
1.-THE sun was shining brightly in the
blue sky, when at 9:29. 80 o'clock in the
forenoon of Monday, February 10, the
people Of Madrid suddenly saw a fash
of blindingly brilliant light in the sky
above them, which seemed to set the
whole heavens afame- 1t appeared to
emanate from a white cloud, which
hung like a puff Of smoke high up to-
ward the zenith, having the form of
n semicircle, with its convex side TO-
ward the east, and tipped with Grim
son hue at its outer edge"
NJ Flammarion says that a PrOjec-
tile sent from the earth with a speed
OF IL 900 meters (nearly 81 600 feet) per
second allowance being made for the
resistance of the air-wOuld never fall
back to the earth.
A projectile sent with a speed Of TO-
600 to 1000 meters "a meter is about
3.2s feet) would fall only after hun
dreds Of thousands of years. A projec-
tile launched with an initial velocity
of from g. 600 to 10000 meters per second
would fall after thousands Of years.
Therefore, it seems says M. Flam-
marion, that certain number Of me-
teorites must come from these different
sources. Without doubt some of
them may be the dust of defunct worlds
wandering in space. But their analogy
with the interior rocks Of the terres-
trial globe would seem to indicate that
many of them come from our own
planet. Those which arrive with a
small velocity may have the moon for
their origin, but the great speed with
which some OF them strike the earth
indicates that they come from some
star. From the nearest star to the
earth is a journey which it would take
a meteorite no less than 1000, 600 of
years to make"

WHITELAW REID'S VISIT.
He Makes a Pilgrimage to Canton to
See the Major.

Canton. O., June 6.-Major Mckinley
had a, visit from Whitelaw Reid. who
has recently returned from Arizona.
where he was seeking to regain his
health. Mr.. Reid has changed his ap-
pearance and now has a closely crop
ped full beard, which has turned to
white. His call here. said Major Nc
Kinley, was a social one-another pill
grim from afar.
Mr. Reid came to Canton, was quietly
hustled to the Mckinley residence,
where he was until he took the evening
train for Cleveland. at which city he
will transfer to Buffalo It was ascer-
tanned that Mr.. Reid does not regard
the money question as the paramount
issue to come before the people, for
when he was asked: Which is to be
the chief issue, silver or protection ?''
he replied: THE issue is simply that
the people realize that they made a
mistake when they entrusted the gov
eminent to the Democrats four years
ago. and that they will put back the
party that gave them a strong protec-
tive tariff, a credible foreign policy and
a sound currency. The people know
what this party is. what it has done
and what it viii do"
who is your choice for vice presi-
dent2"
My big namesaI1e from Maine would
undoubtedly make the ideal candidate"
said Mr.. Reid THE sentiment in favor
Of his nomination seems to prevail in
all parts of the country"

CECIL RHODES AMBITION.
He Unfolds His Plans in a Speech at
Buluwayo.

BuluWayO Matabeleland June G.
At q banquet given here Cecil Rhodes
had an important speech in which he
briefly sl1etched the history Of Rhodesia
and referred to the "creditable action
of the British Chartered company in
the matter Of compensation for the
Jameson raid. On the completion of the
railway BhOdesia, he thought, would
become thickly populated with whites.
If he were allowed to remain to work
with them. ne looked to the future for
the charter TO lapse and the colony to
become self governing. This would be
possible without detriment to the share
holders.
Mr. Rhodes ridiculed the idea of the
amalgamatiOn of the TransvaaI or its
annexation to Cape Colony. It rested
with the people, he said, to cooperate
with him to carry out his schemes
The present population, he argued,
was too small for self government, but
representation in the legislative council
would be an intermediate stage to the
ultimate object He advised the people
always to look to independence in the
future and to keep in their hearts fele
idea of free trade and quick cOmmuni-
cation in the cape. He also favored a
system of joint defense. which summed
up. meant federation He concluded by
again inviting cooperation of the peo-
PIE in his scheme Of making Rhodesia
one of the South African states.

Imperial hotel early last evening, and
for a time there was considerable ex-
element in the house

in a vOlley of harsh words in the writ
ing room of the hotel, and both walked
down stairs to the laboratory. A few
minutes later sounds Of a fight were
heard from below, and the unknown
was seen to make a hasty exit, being
forced UP the stairs and to the street
by two porters.
With the aid Of crutch Harrison
walked up to the clerks desk soon af-
terward and declared:
HE put revolver to my stomach
twice" Then Harrison dfsa ppeared
from view. and his story in full could
not be learned
