me close relation between heart troubla
anu poor digestion is because both ORGANS
are controlled by branches of the same eraot

In another way, also, the heart IL affected
by That form of poor digestion, which causes
gas ana fermentation from half digested

heaViness in the chest caused by pressure
OF the distended stomach on the heart and

arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood makes

bles is to improve the digestion and to in

This can best be done by the regular use

Creed.
Philadelphia Times
1t is a rather singular fact, although
one not generally known, that Edwin
Booth was and Joseph Jefferson is
confirmed spiritualist. 1t is not meant
by this that they trembled on the prec-
lpice of that misty belief, but that
one was and the other is an enthusi-
asst upon the subject of that creed
To such an extent is this true that
Jefferson frankly tells his most init
mate friends about the spirit of his
first wife, Maggie Lockyer. visiting
him in a material form and sitting
upon his knee. Booth even went fur
ther than this and insisted that he
himself was a medium and in that ca
pacity had frequently sat at the CEN
ter of spiritualistic circles. "Fraudu-
lent mediums" he often said to a
friend, may fool me, but I can't fool
myself" The last communication from
the other world which he claims to
have received concerned the death of
his father.
The elder Booth made his last ap-
pearance in New Orleans as Sir Ed
ward Mortimer in the play of 1.-THE
Iron Chest" He left the Crescent city
for Cincinnati on the steamboat ]. H.
Chittenden, and during the trip sud
denly died. Edwin Booth was then
in San Francisco. There was no tele-
graph in those days, and the postal
service was so slow that it was six
weeks before the news Of the great
tragedian's death reached the Golden
Gate. Yet Edwin Booth claimed then
that at the very hour his father died

the accusation by the fact that he was
VIGOROUSLY jealous.
His trial resulted in acquittal, part
ly in consequence Of an extraordinary
piece of testimony which was produced
In court by one of the police officials.
The story he related was this: A cou-
pie of, days after the murder, on the
removal of the seals from the doors of
the bedroom, he made careful inves-
ugation of the apartment and had
found on the floor by the bedside one
of those enormous night moths, the
bodies of which are almost as thick as
a mans thumb, and which abound in
Italy. He declared that the moths
wings were badly singed, as If it had
flown against the candle that stood on
the table by the bedside. He produced
the moth in court, and then proceeded
to point out to the judges that some Of
the powder of the insects wings was
apparent on the black ebony and gold
stock and trigger Of the little revolver
which had been f6und on the table
with which the shooting had been
done. He then called the attention of
the judges and jury to the phenomenal
facility with which-the-trigger yielded
and advanced the argument that the
princess had beensg murdered by the
night moth, which, he alleged, must
have flown into therrooin, attracted by
the candle light,giand falling with
singed wings onto the table had dis
charged the revolver in the violence cf
it's contortions. -

Used to attend ball toward midnight,
she went to her bedroom to lie down
for a few minutes rest to refresh her
self for the dance.
At II o'clock her maid entered the
room to awaken her, whereupon the
princess asked her to return a little
later, and twenty minutes afterward,
when she returned, the girl found her
mistress still lying on her bed with
scarcely muscle of the face changed,
but stone dead, with the mark Of a tiny
bullet in the region of, the heart
The maids shrieks quickly brought
the prince and the whole household to
the room, and within ten minutes the
judicial and police authorities arrived.
1t was clear that no stranger he1 fired
the shot, since the bedroom was stu
ated on the third floor, and no one
had entered the gates Of the palace be-
tween the hour of 10 and midnight.
AT length the prince was arrested on
charge of having murdered his wife
with the little pistol which lay by her
side on the table, and one chamber of

SILVER IN THE BACKGROUND.
Gov. McGraw Says Washington Re-
pubIicans VIII Not Instruct.

SEATTLE, Wash, April 1.-THE political
situation in this state is somewhat mixed,
but very interesting, especially as regards
the Republican national situation. The indi-
cations are that the state will send an unin-
structed delegation, at least, as regards the
presidential candidate, to the national con-
Tention. Sentiment Is about evenly divided
between Reed and Mckinley, with Allison
the second choice of each faction. But the
free silver men will make a desperate effort
TO have the state convention adopt a silver
platform. The sentiment in favor of silver
is much stronger in eastern than in western
Washington.
Interviewed today on this question, Gov.
McGraw said: Il hope and believe the state
will not send free silver delegation to st.
Louis. The so-called free silver Republicans
of this state are Republicans first; they are
stronger in the Republican faith than they
are in their desire for the unlimited coinage
of silver. 1t has ever been my desire to keep
the party in touch with the national Repub-
hcan party on the money question. We
would certainly have to eat crow were we to
send free silver delegation to St. Louis
/ believe in the unlimited coinage of both
gold and silver under an international agree
ment. l think that contamination is near at
hand. The sentiment for it is rapidly grow
Ing all over the world
