LONDON, March lathe Chronicle

it's critical examination of the contents
of the Venezuelan blue book. The
Chronicle contends that the very docu-

British case, disprove the British claim
based on the Dutch possessions and &C.
cupation in the Eighteenth century.
It fears that the entire case is vitiated
by the assumption that rowing descents

A woMANs SUFFERING.
Interesting Experience of Mrs. Lounsbury,
If AI..,,, min sI,iIartnIn

Interesting Experience of Mrs. LOunsbury,
of Olympia, Washington.
The practice of publishing medical testi-
monials is certainly not new one; in fact,
the subject is well nigh threadbare, the col
umns Of every paper being full of them,
Nevertheless, occasionally a case appea rs of so
interesting and remarkable character as to-
merit special attention. of such character
is the experience of Mrs. L, L. Lounsbury of
Olympia, in far off Washington, who now re-
sides at No. III Maple Park, in that city.
Mrs. .Lounsbury's trouble was an aggravated
case of stomach trouble. She says: ! was very
weak, could not sit up in bed more than an
hour at a time, no appetite, eating the juice
of rare beef. My husband would have to
read to me until two or three o'clock in the
morning before sleep would come, my heart
was weak and troublesome, gas would collect
in my stomach 50 that a number of times
during the day would become almost help
less.
l saw the new stomach remedy, Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets advertised in the Chris
tan Herald of Detroit, and even now after
taking but one box l am good advertisement
for them sleep good, have good appetite,
my heart is better, my nerves stronger,
am gaining strength so fast that yesterday
walked seven blocks.
If this letter will do any good you may
publish it in the Christian Herald, as l have
many friends who read that paper.
The tablets have done wonders for me,
where hope of recovery was nearly gone.
The case of this lady is but one of thous-
ands who have been cured of dyspepsia, in
digestion and stomach troubles by the reg
ular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets-a
common sense remedy, which cures by caus-
ing the prompt digestion of the food eaten.
They should be taken Immediately after
meals and their beneficial effects are speed
! lily apparent in the increased strength OF
stomach and nerves. They cure palpitation
of the heart by removing the cause they
increase flesh and appetite by digesting the
food before it has time to ferment, sour and
poison the blood and nerves.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets not only cure
indigestion, but they are so safe and pleas
ant that they are also perfectly adapted to
children and invalids.
They are sold by druggists at 80 cents fol
full sized packages.
A useful book on stomach diseases will be
mailed free by addressing Stuart Co., Mar.
shall, Mich.

failures. or tho general result 10 Is too
tarly to spoaS There were very many
American Hcbrews who did not think the
fchome good one because thry knew that
every fern Of assisted emigration pro-
viously tried had failed They saw no
reason why this should be an exception
But when the refugees began to arrive and
these American Hebrews saw the pitiful-
ness of their general condition. their pow
erty, their lack of health, their ignorance
and debasement, they did not hold back
but have given genuine and hearty sup
port of the plan, even though they had
not approved. Schools were established
both for young and old and agricultural
colonies founded Whatever may be the
result of the experiment us to the grown
men and women who have been forced
from Russia and brought to the United
States, the effect on the children, the men
and women of the next generation, cannot
be other than good.
But Baron de Hirsch learned from the
reports of his agents and colleagues in the
United States that il would be very easy
to overdo the thing in bringing out Rus
sian Hebrews 1t would be unwise they
thought for them to come faster than they
could be prepared to support themselves
So the baron sent agents to South Amer
lea and Mexico to negotiate for the pur-
chase of large tracts of land In the Ar
gentine Republic negotiations were CON
cluded and the government looked very
favorably upon the colonization scheme
But the people were bitterly opposed to It,
and made such manifestations OF angry
hostility that the plan had to be aban-
doned Then Mexico was settled upon,
and President Diaz promptly gave his as
surance of CO. cooperation. These are the
large benevolenoes that engaged the re-
cent years of this Jewish millionaire.
Since 1880 Baron de rsch'sexpenditures
for charity had exceeded SIS 5000 year
He had established offices in all the cap
itals of Europe on the system of charity
organization societies The committee in
charge of each of these offices has author
ity to investigate each case of poverty pre-
sented to it, and to deal with it as it may
think proper, He devoted six hours every
day before considering anything else, to
his charitable enterprises. He was con-
stantly overwhelmed with requests for
aid, and sometimes received as many as
400 begging letters day. He never gave
a penny, however, without first investi-
eating the need and character of the ap-
plicant, and was utterly opposed to indis-
criminate charity.
The Hirsch fund for the assistance of the
Russian Jews has capital of ten millions.
1t is operated by stock company known
as the Jewish Colonization association,
and is limited liability company. The
shares are $500 each, and all but ten were
owned by Baron de Hirsch The Ameri-
can branch of the Hirsch fund holds S2,-
| 100000 of the baron's money in trust, The
| income is $l25,O 900 a year. and this is de-
voted to establishing colonies and educat-
/ ing the Russian Jews in republican prin-
ciples and the ways of the country. One
! of The largest colonies is locaJed at Wood

VIENNA, April o. Baron Maurice de
Hirsch, the great financier and philanthro-
pist, died yesterday morning on his estate
at Presburg, Hungary, from stroke of
apoplexy.
The millionaire railroad builder and
philanthropist, Baron Maurice de Hirsch
de Gereuth, was native of Bavaria, and
though il has usually been supposed that
his colossal fortune was entirely made by
himself, this is not so. Though to be sure,
the ampler means he inherited grew in his
hands much faster than the accumula-
tions of either his father or grandfather
had. II he had not augmented his inheri-
tanoe so greatly he would never have been
classed by the leaders of European society
among the objeodonably newly rich, and
have had the doors of many Of the great
clubs closed to him. ..f

We fully agree with our able con-
temporary, the Baton Rouge Truth,
in the following: sin no State in
the Union does the negro enjoy
greater encouragement or protection
in his business enterprises, his
schools, his religion and his personal
well being than in Louisiana. 1t is
only when he is debauched and mis-
led by the professional politician
that he encounters trials and troub-
les. Let alone and he is all right
even on the lines Of politics, but
when, from personal motives, am
bilious political schemers undertake
to use him against the best interests
of society, then his troubles begin
and never end. 1t is high time that
public journals cease to scatter over
the land false and libelous reports
concerning the relations Of the two
races in this Siate.'
