Dear Editor: Will you please publish the
following verse. which 1 have made up as
play on '1ittle":
Once little cat, who lived in little house.
Went out for little walk and caught little
mouse;
But this little cat so enjoyed little fun,
That she let the little mouse have little run.
But this little mouse had gone but little way
When the little cat, who enjoyed little PLAY,
Caught the little mouse again and gave him
little throw;
While the little mother cat exclaimed, "Ah, 1
told you so,''
As the little mouse went through the little
door,
"Now your dainty little mouse has gone to
come no more"

4 Hundred Reasons

Can be given why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best and most effectual cure
for every form or indigestion.
They are in tablet form, which retains
their good qualities indefinitely. while
liquid preparations become stale and use
less with age.
They are convenient. can be carried in the
pocket and taken when needed. They are
pleasant to the taste.
After each meal dissolve one or two of
them in the mouth and. mingiing with the
food. they constitute perfect digestive
absolutely safe for the most sensitive
stomach.
They digest the food before it has time
to ferment, thus preventing the formation
of gas and keeping the blood pure and free
from the poisonous products of fermented,
half digeSted food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets ma Ike the COM
plexion clear by keeping the blood pure
They increase flesh by tiigcstinc flesh
forming foods.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
remedy designed especially for the cure of
stomach troubles and nothing else.
Ono disease, one remedy, the successful
physician of today is the specialist. the sue
cessful medicine is the medicine prepared
especially for one disease.
A whole package taken a one time would
not hurt you but would simply be waste
of good material.
Over six thousand men and women in the
State OF Michigan alone have been cured of
indigestion and dyspepsia by the use of
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
Sold by all druggists at so cents per
package.

TO COVER A GREATER CRIME
Arson Resorted TO for Concealings a
wafChmnn- Murder.

Lancaster, Pa. Jan. 29.-After two
days search in the ruins OF the Champion
Flower and Forge company's Works,
which were destroyed by fire on Sunday
morning, the CHARGED body or William
Miller. the missing watthman, was found
last evening. :
The body was found in the extreme
south end OF the cellar, under a big pile
OF debris. The fire is supposed to have
started in the north end, and the loCa-
ton of the Charred body gives additional
credence to the view held by many that
the old man was a victim OF foul play.
The coroner held an inquest last night
over the body, the verdict being that
death resulted from suffocation by smoke
from a fire started by unknown persons.
witnesses testified that after the smoke
was seen at the works two men ran from
that direction. When an effort was made
to notify Miller he could not be found.
Reading & Columbus railroad lantern
was found in the debris, and such a lantern
had never been used about the works.
There is good evidence to show that the old
man was fouily dealt with before the build
ing was destroyed.
The origin of the fire is a mystery, and
1t is probable the district attorney Will
institute an investigation into this and
other large fires of supposed incendiary
origin which have recently occurred in
this city.

RAGE OF AN INSANE NAN.
Edward Myer Created a Fearful Rum.
-pus in Police Court.

Edward Myer, the insane man from the
NorristOwn asylum, who was arraigned
several days ago on a charge OF assaulting
Scrgt Myers at the White House, be-
cause the latter would not allow him to
see the President. and remanded To Jail
on that charge, was again before Judge
Miller this morning for hearing as to his
sanity and created Il lively disturbance after
it was over.
Judge Miller. after hearing statements
from the police surgeons. certified Myer
to the Secretary of the Interior as insane;
and at that Myer burst into a string OF
profanity. and declared that there was
no justice in the court.
Take him out" said the Judge. and the
bailiff started toward the cell-room with
the prisoner. As they reached the door he
gave it a kick, nearly knocking it off its
hinges, and making fearful noise.
Bring that man back here" said Judge
Miller, jumping up.
Myer was taken back into the courtroom
and the court ordered that he be put under
strong guard until he was turned over
to the asylum authorities. He was then
put in charge of a couple of officers and
taken down into the cells.

WERE BOUND FOR CUBA
Mission Of the Expedition on the
Steamer Hawkins Admitted.
They Had Two Hotch kiss RIA pid-F Firing
Guns, u Qua nifty ofSmallArmsand
Cargo OF Ammunition.

Boston, Jan. ga special from New
Bedford, Mass, says that thirteen of the
survivors OF the wrecked steamer j. w.
Hawkins, being part of the boat load saved
by the schooner Alice d. Crosby, reached
hat city last evening. Four were Arneri-
cans and nine Cubans. They left for New
York by train. AS the Cubans could talk
| no English it was difficult TO obtain any
Information from them. The Americans,
however, were willing to tell what they
knew of the expedition.
Although ostensibly fitted out for the
Berlnudas, the Hawkins was really bound
! for Cuba. When the boat was picked up
By the schooner Alice d. Crosby the occu-
pants made frantic jumps for the vessel.
Ten of the poor fellows were unable to
secure a hold on her side fell into the sea,
and were sucked under with the undertow.
Several others narrowly escaped a similar
fate.
Capt. Denise said that the men saved
nothing but two valises filled with United
States bank notes. These were in the pos
session of Gen. Garcia.
Ii. Nj. Clarity. who shipped as assistant
! steward of the Ha wilkins, said there was no
| use in denying that they were bound on
filibustcring expedition, although the crew
were not supposed to know anything about
it. Fireman Thomas Kelley, who was, he
says, the only man saved out Of the en-
g!ncering department, says that he was not
told the nature of the trip when lie shipped.
The men were promised good wages, which
was sufficient induccment for them to ask
no questions.
The final gathering OF the filibusters
vas in "A narblc-yard in Port Morris, at
One hundred and Thirty-eighth street,
where there is dock, late Saturday night.
Gen. Garcia, his son, and 40 other CubIns,
who had enlisted for the expedition, met
in the yard, and the Ha wilkins tied up at this
dock. Then IL was found that there were
more volunteers than the steamboat could
carry.
1t was impossible to take more than 20.
Capt. Hall said and il was necessary to
made after two men had deserted and had
been chased away in the darkness. After
the chosen hand had been sifted, and the
100 had got aboard, the Hawkins steamed
away for the Sound.
The arms of the boat consisted of two
Hotchkiss rapid-fring guns, 200 Rem
inEton and Winchester rifles and some re-
volvcrs. There was plenty Of ammunition
for the Hotchkiss gun, and ,00o, coo cart
ridges for the rifles. Gen. Garcia also had
taken along 5000 pounds OF dynamite
and materials for making heavy explosives
