MIR. STEVENSON'S PLAN
He Will Re Ii Free silver DcmOcra It.
('nn

1t is understood that Vice President Stew
enson is going tC enter the list as free
silver candidate for the democratic nomi-
nation. 1t is stated with authority that he
will between now and the meeting of the
democratic convention write 4 letter in
which he will declare himself to be in favor
of the free coinage of silver.
This statement is regarded with consid-
cradle interest in View of the present ac-
tivity OF The managers of the Morrison
boom. This boam for Morrison is largely
being managed by free silver democrats,
though MORRISON is avowedly opposed to
free coinage under present conditions. A
letter. such as is expected from Mr.. Stev-
enson will seriously complicate the situa-
ton for Mr.. Morrison in states outside
Illinois, where his support is now strongest,
ard Will probably lead to a very interesting
fight among the democrats in Illinois.

THE SCHOONER xAvARINo.
Nothing to Call for Action on the
Part of This Government.

According to the officials of the State De-
partment, there appears to he nothing in the
case of the schooner Navarino calling for
action on the part of the government of the
United States. Capt. Warner, commanding
the vessel, which recently arrived at Lewes,
Del, reports that when the Navarino was
leaving the Spanish part of Manzanilla, fly
ing the United States flag. she was boarded
searched and detained twenty-four hours
by Spanish man-of-war. The Navarino
halls from Boston, and is owned by d. S.
Emery of that city. She has been engaged
in trade between American and Cuban ports.
lnasmuch as the alleged search and deten-
ton occurred within the undisputed juris-
d:ction of the Spanish government, it is
said it can hardly be considered an offense
against the rights and dignity of the United
States. Under existing conditions in Cuban
waters. it is said that the right of search of
all suspicious craft is conceded to the Span
ish authorities. !

Completes Lyman Beecher Course of Lec-
 lures Yesterday-Large Audience Listens
 to an Interesting Address Lecture to be
 Published.
 Rev Dr. Watson gave the last of his lectures in the Lyman Beecher course to a. large audience yesterday after noon. It was. announced that the whole series of. lectures would shortly be published, slight variations being made to adopt them to book form. The book, Dr. Watson, said, would be dedi- cated to Professor Fisher, of whom he spoke in terms of the highest affection and praise. pcso
 At the close, of the lecture Professor Fisher spoke of the great satisfaction and appreciation which the lectures had given and said the blessings and prayer of all would follow Dr. Watson in his travels in this country and when he should return to his own flock
 Dr. Watson also expressed his high appreciation with the manner in which he had been received and the help he had sustained from the sympathy of his hearers in the delivery of his Iec- lures.
 He said he had been requested to send some word of greeting to the as- sembled students of school with which he was connected in England, and he had taken upon himself, un- authorized, to send the following mes- sage:
 Yale theologues greets the Balfour technicals." This announcement was greeted with long continued applause on the part of the students. The subject of the afternoons lecture i was 'The Ministers Care of Himself,' D and in it Dr. Watson gave some sound and practical advice to the students as l to the care of their health, the conser- vation of their time and the private | life of the minister.
 He also detailed some of the many trials which a minister has to endure. He said there were strong arguments for the celibacy of ministers and ex- pressed the opinion that it would be more common in the future than al present in the profession.

THE CUP MAY YET BE YALE,s.


 In the Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament If DriscoIl of Georgetown Wins the Final Singles Yale Will Have Another
 Chance at the Trophy-Yesterday's Matches-Those to be Played To-day.
 Yale will not win the inter- collegiate championship cup for the permanent trophy this year and the chances are very good now for the prize to go to Harvard. This cup is to belong per manently to the college whose tennis representatives win three times the in tercollegiate tournament, and Yale and Harvard have each won it twice. The only hope of Yale having another chance at it rests in Driscoll of George town defeating Whitman of Harvard in the singles this afternoon. Harvard is sure of the doubles as her two teams have won out in their contests and are pitted against each other to-day, so that in any event the doubles will go to the credit of the crimson, but in order to win the cup, Harvard must also win the singles, and as consequence Yale tennis men are anxious for a victory by Driscol.
 Yesterdays play resulted as follows: Singles, Driscoll of Georgetown, de- feated Ware of Harvard, 7-5, 9-7; Whit man defeated Dodge, 6-3, 6-2.
 Douhles-Ware and Scudder of Har- yard defeated Budlong and Barrows of Brown, 60, 6-3; Hackett and Dodge of Yale defeated Evans and Mason of Princeton, 6-0, GA; Hertkamp and Nicely of Cornell defeated Hackett and | Dodge, 3-6, 7-5, 7-5; Whitman and | Forbes of Harvard defeated MacMullen and Gennert of Columbia by default; Ware and Scudder defeated Hooker and Moves, GA, 6-1 Whitman and I Forbes defeated Heitkamp and Nicely, | 7-5, GA | In the consolation matches the re- suits yesterday were as follows: Good body of Williams defeated Evans of Princeton 6-3, 6-1; Wilson of Universi- | ty of Pennsylvania defeated Barrows of Brown by default Sanky of Princeton 1 defeated Andrews of Williams by de- | fault; Perry of Williams defeated l Thompson of Princeton by default.
 MT. Wright, of Wright & Ditson, has offered Princeton tennis racket as a consolation prize.
 The remaining consolation matches will be played off this forenoon, anG at o'clock this afternoon Driscoll oi Georgetown will play Whitman of liar yard in the final singles.
 In the final doubles Ware and Scud. der of Harvard will play Whitman and Forbes of Harvard.

Morse's Wooden Feet

The giant in Klaw & Erlanger's new production, Jack and the Beanstalk, !" will be nine feet high, and he will be called Amos Rusie. It is said to be a funny character, and in the hands of H. M. Morse will surely make a bit. Morse is an unusually tall man, meas uring a little over six feet. He will build himself up with the aid of stilts, which are made to walk and run, as if he was travelling on his own feet Morse is spending all his leisure time rehearsing with his wooden feet in the back yard of his New York residence and it is needless to say he does not allow anyone to play in his yard while he is there.

 tions of flowers and draperies gave the
 church very home-like air and re- fleets credit upon the committee.

Why They Take
 Puritana.
WHY THEY GET WELL.

The proof does it. That is why people begin to take Puritana.
 People find that their neighbors have tried it.
 Their friends have tried it. Men and women in every walk of life have tried it.
 A man suffers.
 Perhaps he has suffered for years. He has tried many things. They have all failed. He reads Puritana testimonial. He reads another. He sees new ones wherever he looks.
 Some of the writers are in his own town.
 Some in his own business. Some he can see.
 Some he can write to. Some have been cured of his own ail1nent.
 Some of other ailments. All are grateful
 All are glad to tell suffering people how Puritana gave them relief They are approachable folks, and their voluntary testimonials count. Some live in town.
 Some in the country. Some hold office.
 Some vote.

Druggists sayit is a good medicine Their customers buy it and are more than satisfied with its effects
 What the people say about Puritana you have read before, and you will read again.
 The thousands of Puritana cures are becoming better known every day. The patients are real people.
 The cures are real cures.

 They can be proven by any medical society.
