HEART DISEASE,
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look for
the Cause.

Heart troubles, atleast among mericans,
are certainly increasing and while this may
be largely due TO the worry and excitement
OF American business life, it is more often
the result of weak stomachs, of poor di-
gestion.
Real organic heart disease is incura BILE:
but not one case in q hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close reiation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by branches of the same great
nerves. the Sympathetic and Pneumo-
gastric
In another way, also, the heart, if affected
by that form of poor digestion, which causes
gas and fermentation from half digested
food; there is a feeling of oppression and
heaviness in the chest caused by pressure
OF the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath
Poor digestion lHo poiSons the blood
makes tt thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is 10 improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation of food
This can best he done by the regular use.
after meals, of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation like Stuart,s
Dyspepsia Tablets which may be found at
most drug stores, and which contain valua-
| ble harmless digestive elements, in a pleas
ant, convenient form
1t is safe TO say that the regular, persis-
tent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time will cure any form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
Full size packages of the Tablets sold by
most druggists at so cents or by mail HDem

HOLMES DID NOT CONFESS.
Stat ements That the Murderer Wa

Stat ements That the Murderer Was
Interviewed Prove False.
Philadelphia, Pa, April 5.-A sensational
New York paper published this morning un-
der Philadelphia date line, what il alleged
to be confession OF the notorious murderer
II. H. Holmes
The story was a good story and was
told with an attention 10 detail that was
worthy of Conan Doyle. In the story
Holmes is pictured as Confessing to the
murder of twenty people and the manner
OF these victims deaths is almost circuIn-
stantially given.
The confession. lacks one essential
qualification-it is untrue. The story is a
fake pure and simple About the only
foundation it has, in fact, is that about
week ago one OF the young women who are
employed upon the reportorial staff of this
paper came to Philadelphia and vainiy at
tempted to see Holres. Samuel T. Rotan
Holmes counsel, Father Bailey OF tue
Church OF the Anuunciation, Holmes spirit
uai adviser, and Superintendent Perkins
OF the county prison, all deny that there
is word Of truth in the alleged confession.
No one could obtain admittance to the
county prison without the knowledge OF
Superintendent Perkins and Holmes receives
and sends no mail that is not first seen by
the prison authorities.

sloner, Dies Mysteriously.

Conduct an examination in the
Case Today.

Frederick Richter was found dead in bed

old man was lame till death.
Four years ago he came to Washington TO
urge the grant OF a pension. A pension
was allowed him and this became his only
source OF revenue. Two years ago he made
his home with Oscar Hermann and was
given the second-story front room i'll the
little brick house, No. 800 street.
For week he had been in good health
He ate Easter breakfast with the Hermann
family. AT its close he went 10 his room

tive way. AT noon he came down stairs,
went TO the kitchen, and drew a pitcher OF
water. He asked at VIVA hour dinner would
be ready and was told 4 O'Clock. Richter

tectives have been looking for one week,
shot his brains OU. at Charlottesville, Va,
Friday, April 3.
News or the suicide was received at
police headquarters last night, aud Detec-
tives Horn aud WeedOn, who bad been

from bis home at Baltimore. 1t was
known to his wife that he had friend N

The friend was Meyer Fisher OF Ker-
mans Theater- The conjecture had been
right. Waters had come 10 Washington
Fisher had seen him and had understood
that he was stopping with Fritz Reuter-.
The detectives went TO Reuters hotel.
The proprietor reCOllected Waters. He had
occupied a room on the third floor He
was gloomy guest and the suggestion
was made that he might be insane.
He paid his bill and left the hotel sud
denly Thursday night, He took leave OF
no one, and no one at the hotel knew
whittier he went
The detectives learned that he had taken
a train TO the South Yesterday mOrniB g

compliShed.

IT WAS ONLY FIDO's BODY.
How Find in Front Yard stirred
Up the Police.

Up the Police.
The metropolitan police department and
Coroner Hammett have been April fooled.
They were made the subject of Joke
which. while it lasted, was a very serious
Joke. and one not TO Toe laughed at.
II all happened about three weeks ago,
and therefore was little ahead of time, but
as the effects lasted over until April /,
it can be appropriately called an April
Fool joke.
One afternoon in March the telephone In
the First precinct station house tinkied
and headquarters wanted to speak with
the precinct. Desk Sergeant Lamb took
down the receiver ana said Hello
go to No. - Ninth street, he said.
Some WOrhmen have found dead infant.
They were digging in the yard at that
number to lay walter pipe and unearthed
a tightly sealed box containing a body.
You had better take il 10 the morgue at
once he concluded, and l viii notify
the coroner
AtNo -- crowd of men were standing
with uncovered heads about Il small wooden
box that lay Oh the parking. Mr.. LOTUS
lifted il tenderly into the wagon and Prince
was headed toward the morgue. Here the
little casket was lifted out again and
placed on the marble slab.
The next morning Coroner Hammett tele-
phoned station No. ! early. He held a
long conversation over The wire. He
asked that a sergeant or the lieutenant
should take the case i'll hand and sift the
matter thoroughly, TO the very bottom.
Then lie went 10 the morgue. Softly he
cut the cords that bound the box and raised
the lid. A little fuzzy grey dog lay curled
up inside.
About the same time lady on Ninth
street was explaining TO Sergt. Moore how
they had all thought so much OF poor
Fido, and what a bow il had been TO them
when be died. They had buried him in
the front yard she said, because he would
be near them even in death.

CHEATED THE GALLows.
Notorious Louisiana Murderer FOunt
Dead in His Cell.


Dead in His Cell.
New Orleans, La, April 5.-Mike Nea Ion,
who brutally murdered Mrs. Mary Purcell
in a hovel in the French quarter in October
last, and who was confined in the parish
prison awaiting trial, was found dead In
his cell this morning.
Last night at 8 O'Clock he retired to
bed apparently in perfect health. Two
other men who are confined with him in
the cell, did not know that he was dead
until the door was opened this morning and
Nealon was found stiff and stark. He
had not been in good health for some time,
but his general appearance did not indicate
anything serious. His fellow prisoners say
he never used drugs, and it is thought he
died from natural causes, and thus cheated
the gallows.
The woman he killed was previously his
wife. She was a bad character, but her
taking off was done under circumstances
of peculiarly cold-blooded character. The
woman was found dead, seated at a
table, upon which were the remnants ct q
revel She had been shot through the head
and chest.

the Wasbburn & Moen Manufacturing
Company was burned this morning. The
loss Is total and P. w MoeD, general

oil that tie men had barely time to escape.
The factory was 100 feet in width and
275 feet long, constructed of iron and
brick, with floors of wood. 1t was the
only building in the entire Washburn x
Moen plant which was considered fire
proof, but the walls began to tumble and
the roof fell in shortly after the alarm
was sounded The iron girliers are twisted
like reeds. The company will rebuild the
mill at once.

 STE EJ'N ESS AND LIGHT

The official report just made by the l Secretary of the United States Senate giving a statement of the receipts and expenditures of the Senate for the fiscal year ending June 90th last, is an in- teresting paper in spots. Outside of the customary dreary reading pertaining to official reports and to congressional re- ports in particular, there are oases, of sweetness and light" that afford a good deal of light as to certain ex- penses and necessities of some at least of the senators when at work for the nation at the national capitol. Out of total of expenditures of little over twelve hundred thousand dollars, there was the neat little sum of $165,920 for contingent expenses" the remainder going to pay salaries and to defray the cost of the capital police.
 l The ''sweetness" above referred to, was sugar, of which 5000 pounds were consumed, presumably for lemonade, as another item in close contiguity in the account was "91 boxes of lemons" Now no one expects the sugar trust to pay | increased dividends over this purchase of sugar, nor is there any suspicion of undue influence from the trust being ex- erted over this sugar item. Possibly however if any senators were ''long'' or 1 tFShort'' ,nf c,,p-ar ,tloe ronc1,Yr, nj iop of | lemonade was increased. Other items in the bill are the purchase of 300 grains of quinine in the form of pills, all bought in seven months, and the chief demand for which occurred di- rectly after the holiday season and not | in Washington's proverbially malarious season. The remedial virtues of quinine l need not be eXpatiated upon and the senators know a good thing when they see it.
 Then too bromo-Hthia was in special demand and appears to have chiefly been used on mornings following all night banquets. The demand for this article was extremely limited in the summer months. Five, eases of promo arsenic water were consumed in the hot months, also presumably to straighten out the patients before beginning the days arduous labors. For fine pocket cutlery, card eases, five dollar watches. manicure sets averaging s5 a set.

FASHION NOTES.
A penartnre in Tailormndes

There is new tailormade girl. Some one has decided that the tight waist and outlined figure are unhecoming, and the new tailormade strives to give as straight a line from under the arm down over the hip as a man shows. The bust does not make a rounding line promptly from the collar, and the shirt front, stiflly starched, almost ac- complishes straight line over the bust. The curve under the bust is there but its presence is only attested by the wrinkling of the front below. The waistcoat, striving to cover with an un- broken surface the hollow between bust and waist line, also wrinkles, but the straight line is attained. The skirt does not flare, and out over the hips there is hardly a curve.
 Many women find something very at- tractive about a figure thus oddly re- vealed, and yet in no way restrained to conventional lines. The usual gown is a sack coat that fits slightly at the back and is almost straight in front. The waistcoat is cut low, and the skirt
