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

Heart troubles, at least anIenS AmerIcans,
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-
gestioD.
Real, organic heart disease is incurab BILE;
but not one case in hundred of heart
trouble Is organic.
The close r-iation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
arerontroied ny 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 digestcd
food; there is a feeling of oppression and
heavincSs in the chest caused by pressure
OF the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitalion ana short breath.
Poor digestion also ro:sons the blood
makes 1t thin and watcry, which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can best he done Ivy the regular use
after meals, of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like Stuart's s
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at
| most drug stores. ana whic, contain vaiua-
bic. harness digestive clements. In Il pleas
ant, convenient form.
It. is safe TO say that the regular. pcrsis-
tent use of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets aJ
neal time Will care any forn OF stomach
trouble except cancer or the stomach.

NECK BROKEN BY AN ELEVATOR
Horrible Death OF Porter in "A
philad,lplilu House.

Philadelphia April S.-After putting
several hundred pounds OF steel aboard the
freight elevator in the basement OF the Wire
works of Edward Darby N Sons, 10 Bread
street. late yesterday afternoon, William
Heron, ,wenty-eigbt years Old, employed rs
a porter for several months, started for the
second floor. When more than halfway
up he heard a boy on the street cry 'hcilo!'
and he leaned out to see.
A moment later the half,dozen men at
work upon the first floor heard sharp cry,
quickly followed by sound of choking.
and looking up they saw tightly wcdged be-
tween the floor of the car and the ceiling Of
the high room the face OF Heron.
1t was 4 sight tina caused all to stand Tor
Few moments powcrlcss To aid the unfor-
tunate man, whose life was being crushed
out bet wCcn the two pieces of wood. Unable
TO aid himself or to cry for help. Heron hung
between life and death. his buging eyes
sending out a mute appeal that could not
long be unans wcrcd by bis wOuld-be res
cuers.
A couple of the men tried to pull the ele-
vator down. and then it was seen that aid
must be given from the second floor. They
ran up, and with a couple of axes began
hacking away the floor OF the elevator
around the suffocating man, fearful lest a
bad stroke might cause his instant death.
1t was about ten minutes before they sue
ceeded in freeing the porter from his ter.
rible position.
He had been struggling while they worked,
but as one of them raised him he fell back
dead His neck had been crushed and al
most cut off.
The evening times., 1896-04-08

Generally nj this season there are AZ least
thirty or forty vacancies in all branches os
The army, but today the War Department
reports but five, three OF which are in the
infantry and two in the cavalry.
Not vacancy exists IN the artillery,
nor one in the engineers AMI few are likely
TO occur before June 80.
Every graduate. nevertheless, Will get
MS commission in the aTny some day, and
none will lie deprived OF positions because
there happcn TO lie no vacancies Just yet
THEY WILL BE COMMISSIONED.
Under the law every graduate is entitled
10 appointment, and when there are no
vacancies the young men are appointed
additional second licutcnInts and retained
n this rank until vacancies occur. Their
nay and rank continues :ust the same and
they suffer no hardsiiips from being tenn
porarily deprived of actual commissions
Within the next three months rctireIn'nfs
will occur which may possibly bring tie
total number of vacancies to twelve. abh
some few Officers may he physically a,s-
qualified, which may extend the !isi TO
fifteen.
The department now expects, however,
20 have at least flfty-odd cadets on us
hands for whom the rearc no vacancies,
and it is probable everyone VIII be ininle-
iiately assigned rs " asiditisnals." Among
The line officers to retire is Col. Gonion,
sixth Cavalry, commanding the cavalry
post at Fort Mycr, Va. and Col clos
son, Fourth Artillery, commanding the
posts at Washington an the detached com
panjes at Fort McIIcnry. Col. Parker of
the Eighteenth Infantry also rctires on
account of age, anu Col. Wood, or the
adiutant generals department. Capt. Ulio,
Second Infantry. brings up the tail end IN
point of rank.
There are also eighteen vacancies On the
retired list. which are open TO officers VINO
may be reported disabled. but SO far they
all seem to BE- exceptionally well, with
little promise of 0Hiiauing their active
connection with the service The pros
poets of appointments from the enlisted
grades and from civil life are now remote
for the next two or three years, and II 10
no, likely that this years class Will all be
cared for under twelve months, by which
