Last night the special attraction for the
many visitors was the athletic perform
ance given by Prof. Joyce and four of his
pupils. Tonight the Mandolin Club will
be on hand to furnish music for the edifica-
ion of those who are fortunate enough
20 hold tickets and who visit the fair
during the evening.
Father Mackin. the chief director of the
enterprise, expresses himself as being per
fectly satisfied with the fair so far and
with the prospects ahead. He is sure that
81 800 or $4,000 will be realized. and that
This will be judiciously used in pa wing off
the debt on the church. Last night Con
gresham ID. NJ. Hurley of Brooklyn was
among the visitors.
The ladies connected with the fair are
earnestly engaged in the work and are
trying hard TO ma Ike IT one of the pleasantcSt
and most successful church enterprises ever
given in this city. They are surely sue
ceeding, as the sales at the several booths
plainly show. The fair will be continued
until the 18th of the month.

That Common Trouble, Acid Dys-
pepsia or Sour Stomach.
Now Recognized as Cause of Serious
Disease.


Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach, is a form of indiges-
ton resulting from fermentation of the food.
The stomach being too weak TO promptly
digest it, the food remains until fermcnta-
ton begins, rilng the stomach with gas. and
Il bitter, sour, burning taste in the mouth is
often present. This condition soon becomes
chronic and being an every day occurrence
is given but little attention. Because dys-
pcpsla is not Immediately fatal, many peo-
pie do nothing for the trouble.
Within Il recent period a remedy has been
discovered prepared solely to cure dyspepsia
and stomach, troubles. II is known as Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, ana IL is now be-
coming rapidly used and prescribed asa rad
icaI cure for every form of dyspepsia.
