IS 1T A TRIFLE?
That Common Trouble, Sour Stomach,
Now known to Be the Source
of Serious DiSea Ses

of Serious Diseases.
"Sour Stomach Is the common name
for acid dyspepsia, and because 1T is a COM
mon everyday trouble with many people
they have come to look upon it as of little
consequence as affecting the general health.
Nevertheless the most serious diseases have
their beginning from this very condition. 1t
is caused in the first place from weakness
of the stomach, which, instead of promptly
digesting and disposing OF the food, allows
IL to lie in the stomach for hours fernent-
ing, causing gas, sour rising in the mouth,
heart burn, headaches, oppression, despond-
ency, dullness, etc.
The blood is thin. impure, and circula-
ton poor simply because it is replenished
from this mass of fermenting, half digested
food. This condition of the stomach can not
continue very long without dcranging the
nervous system, the kidneys, heart, liver or
lungs. Whichever is weakest will break
down first.
Pure blood, strong nerves and muscles,
firm, healthy flesh can only come from
wholesome food well digested. blood
purifiers and ''uerve tonics" do not reach
the cause of the mischief The stomach is
the point to be looked after. The safest
and surest way to cure any form of indi-
gestiop is to take after each meal some
harmless preparation which will of itself
digest food. There is an excellent prepar-
alton of this kind composed OF vegetable
essences, pure pepsin, Golden Seal and
fruit salts, sold by druggists under name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and these
| tablets taken after meals assist digestion
wonderfully because they will digest the
food promptly, before 1t has time to fer
ment and sour, and the weak stomach re-
lieved and assisted in this way soon be-
comes strong aud vigorous again.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are superior
to any secret patent medicines because you
| know what you are taking into your stom-
| ach. They are sold by druggists every
| where at 90 cents per package.

DIR. .BILLINGS'CALLT LTONEw YORK
Offered the Chief Libraria nShtp Of
the Consolidated Libraries.


Philadelphia, Jan. S.-Dr. John 5. Bill
lings. director of the department of hy-
giene of the University of Pennsylvania,
has received an offer TO become chief libra
rian of the consolidated Libraries of New
York. consisting of the Astor, LennoN and
Tilden libraries. This offer was sent Of
ficially through the universit Y trustee, about
a week ago, the request being framed with
the utmost courtesy.
The fact that the management of the
New York institutions had made the re-
quest for Dr. Billings services, in the
way that they did. was complimentary
to the university. The question was wheth-
er the university or the New York insti-
tuition most needed DR.. Billings.
The medical faculty appointed a commit
tee. consisting of DR.. William Pepper. DR..
j. W illiam White and DR.. Horatio C..
Wood. to show to the board of trustees
how important was DR.. Billings position
at the university and the great loss that
would result if he left.
At the meeting of the board OF trustees
yesterday morning the matter was re-
ferred to Provost Harrison and DR.. s.
Weir Mitchell. After mature delibera-
ton, they reported that. though the uni
yersity could not well spare the services
of Dr.. Billings, still the field of the New
York libraries was so broad and DR.. Bill
liDgs' abilities were so much needed to di.
rect the consolidated institutions, that the
university ought to consider the wider in
terests involved and extend a magnani-
nous assent. The university trustees ac-
cepted the report.

CITIZENS AND OFFICIALS
Commissioners Handled Without
Gloves at Columbia Heights.
Much Indignation Over The Permission
Given the New Electric Light
Company.

The Columbia Heights Citizens A>socia'
ton. at its meeting last night was teeming
with sentiments and opinions, to which The
Morning Times called attention more than
a month ago. There has been growing
discomfort and constant murmuring against
the Commissioners. prevalent ever since the
facts upon which the feeling is based were
given to the public. The current of sup
pressed Indignation burst forth at last
nights meeting.
President BallinCcr of the association
read paper on electric lighting. Many
times citizens of that section. he said, had
asked the United States Electric Lighting
Company to give them electric lights. The
president of that company had replied that
he had made application first for permit
TO put a pole line along Columbia Heights.
and when that was refused he had, on No
vembcr |, 1898, made application for a
permit to put in an underground service.
But he had not even been able to get leave
TO lay a conduit.
President Thomas says in letter read by
President Ballinger 10 the association
that he is willing 10 run The conduit to
Columbia Heights, and is only waiting on
the Commissioners.
Mr.. BalIinger then called attention to the
fact that a permit had been granted TO
the Potomac Power and Light Company TO
erect pole line from Tenlcytown road to
lexington, covering more than third of
the rightof-way over which the United
States Company had asked To be allowed
to erect poles. A letter had been ad'
dressed to the Commissioners. protesting
against the Potomac Company's overhead
wires, and they would not be permitted to
go up until the fight against them had been
decided adversely TO the citizens in The
highest court.
A general discussion followed Mr.. Bal
lenger's paper.

KITCHEN RANGE EXPLoDEs.
Blown Into Hundred Pieces and Mrs
Tweed Seriously Intured.

Scranton, Pa, Jan S.-Alrs. Emma weed,
who resides at Sanderson avenue and Mar
ion street, was seriously. if not fatally,
injured by an explosion Of steam in the
water pipe in the kitchen range. She re-
turned from Honesdale and built fire in
the range.
The water pipe was evidently frozen,
for after the fire burned briskly and gen.
Grated steam the Ice would not permit the
hot water to circulate. The confined steam
burst the pipe in the stove, and just as Mrs.
Tweed approached to see how the fire
burned the whole top and front of the stove
blew out. The cast iron was blown into q
hundred pieces and shot into her face and
body.
Mrs. Tweed was thrown to the floor
unconscious. Her collar bong was broken.
a hole was cut in her cheek. her eye was
cut and cash was cut in her side.

BULLET IN HER BRAIN.
Little Miss Newhart Has Lived With
1t Eleven Y ears.

stroudsburg, Pa, Jan. s.-The physi-
clans of this county are watching with in.
terest remarkable case. For eleven
years young daughter Of Morris Newhart,
who lives near the fair grounds, has been
living with a bullet in her brain. Physi.
clans probed for the bullet without sue
cess. 1t looked as il death must claim
the little one, but still she fingered on.
For months she lay paralyzed. Her eyes
were blind and she could not hear.
Suddenly change came over the little
sufferer. Her hearing returned and she
was able to see. She grew. and to all ap-
pearances was healthy. Doctors mar
veled at the strange recovery, but pre-
dicted that the first serious illness would
cause her death. Presently it came in
the shape of a bad attack of scarlet fever.
The report of her death was daily expected,
but to the wonder of all she lived through
il. and today she is as healthy as ever,
although still carrying the bullet.
II is thought that the bullet by this time
has become incysted-that is, sac has
formed around IL. which may prevent any
return of the dangerous ailments. Miss
Newhart is now fifteen years of age.

American File. In England.

A retail hardware dealer in England says that 90 per cent of the files he sells come not from Sheffield, but from Amer ica, and he explains the anomaly in The Ironmonger. The American manufac- turers, it seems, keep large stocks in London and fill orders with great promptness. The American price lists give exact information regarding sizes and grades and promise delivery in three days from London. A Sheffield price list requires prolonged study to comprehend it, and when an order is sent to Sheffield it may not be filled for four weeks, or even eight weeks. This tardiness in filling orders has been a matter of weekly experience for 20 years.

 NEW HAVEN, Sept 1.-The Democrats of Connecticut In state convention assem- bled yesterday converted the state organ ization of the party into a silver organiza- ton, wrestling from the gold standard men with the greatest of ease the party power, adopted a platform not only indorsiLg the cause of free silver, but pledging the support of the electors of the state to the nominees of the Chicago convention, and nominated presidential electors and oandi- dates for the entire state ticket who arc unanimously in aooord with the principles set forth in the Chicago platform and heartily In favor of the election of Bryan and Sewall.
 Judge Blydenburgh read the platform, which was In part as follows:
 "Be 1t resolved, That we indorse the platform adopted at Chicago by the Demo cratic national convention, and that we pledge our earnest and faithful support to William J. Bryan and Arthur Sewall, tho candidates nominated by the Democratic party.
 Resolved, That the growing industrial disasters and distressful poverty and idle ness have been the ever increasing result of the characterization of silver in iS7a We therefore invite the united support of the electors in the effort to restore tho coinage system which existed during the years of our national prosperity and which is the coinage system recognized Tn our national constitution. We denounoe the reoent bond issues and the useless Increase of the na- tional debt In times of peace"
 The delegates aoquiesoed in the desires of their leaders, and the proposition Co nominate unanimously their candidates met with no opposition. Joseph B. Sar- gent of New Haven, a well known manu- faoturer and twice New Haven's mayor, was nominated by exclamation for govern or. The fashion was set by this nomina- ton. and the convention took not a single ballot, all of the remaining candidates be- ing nominated by exclamation.

NEWARK, N. J., Sept ia.-At Long Branch United States Senator James Smith, Jr., gave out tho following state ment regarding the Chicago platform and ticket:
 "The lines upon which the present po- litical campaign Is being conducted and tho interpretation of the Chicago platform by the Now Jersey Democratic convention held to select electors are in opposition to tho views which oppressed when called upon to speak on tho financial question in the senate My desire has been to find way to harmonixc those views with the platform declaration and to harmonize my individual opinion with the expression of the party councils. With theso objects in mind I have given the questions at issue careful consideration Tho result Is find my mind adhorins to the course took in the sonate as the only ono consistent with a sound financial policy.
 "This conclusion being fixed, 10 neoes- sarily follows that should not participate in the direction of the campaign as a member of either the national or the state committee.
 "Justioe to the candidates demands that their cause be In the hands of those who are without doubt as to the correctness of the policy proposed by every plank in the platform.
 ''I have therefore decided Co resign from any leading position In the political man. agement of the campaign. In doing this I am governed by senso of propriety and not by an inclination to set up my per sonal views as against the oppressed policy of my party. But as Democrat obedient to party usage, must and do bow to the will of the majority and unhcsitatinRly express my belief that the people may safely trust a Democratic president and congress for whatever logislation may prove necessary for the welfare of the country.
