Arizona Volcanoes,

A dispatch from Yuma, Arizona,
says the Cocopah volcanoes, seventy
five miles south west from that city,
are in violent eruption. Those on
the plains are throwing out water,
stone and mud, while the dry ones
and solitary ones in the mountain
range pour smoke forth by day and
fame by night, plainly seen at a
point fifteen miles west of Yuma.
There are 10000 of these volcanoes
on this plain, twenty five miles north
of the base of the mountains. They
are active only at times, when the
roar Of their workings can be heard
for twenty miles.

May Be SOMETHING WRONG
Suspicious Regarding the Death Of
Mrs. Baboock at Asbury Park.
Her Body TO BE Exhumed and Analy-
sis of the stomach Mnde-COffin
Was Ordered In Advance.

Asbury Park, n. j., March I3.--The cir
cumstances connected with the sudden
death OF Mrs. Katharine Babcock, about
two weeks ago, will very likely be invcsti-
gated by the police authorities.
Mrs. Babcock was an active worker in
the Women's Christian Temperance Union.
and last fall was sent as a delegate from
Ocean Grove to the National Temperance
Convention In Baltimore. She died. aged
s..v.'nt y-cight years. at the residence OF
her adopted daughter on Second avenue.
A strange story OF alleged foul play came
to light last night. On the morning after
Mrs. Ba bcock's death the body was hastily
put in n coffin which had been ordered
several hours before the end came.
The undertaken was told al the time that
he must be ready TO take the body away
TO Hillsdalc the same afternoon. He said
this would be- unwise and would create
suspicion. but those i'll charge insisted SO
strongly that the undertaken complied.
Meanwhile Mrs. Babcock's friends in the
local temperance union con men ced TO
grow suspicious. and Mrs. Bishop, who
WIS a co-laborcr of the deceased. wrote
Mrs. Babcock's relatives at Rochester. re-
lating the strange circumstances OF her
death and suggesting that an inquiry be
made.
One of the letters was sent to Mrs. Mills
of that city. She replied that she wanted
the authorities at Asbury Park TO take
the case in hand, have Mrs. Babcock's
body eNhumed and the stomach thor
oughly examined. She then went on to
say:
Mrs. Babcock left here little before the
holidays with two $500 check and some
cash. She was kind TO everyone. i can
not rest easy If tie case is not thoroughly
Investigated and now is the time. hope
TO hear from you as soon as the sitting
Is begun"
Ella Prentiss Upham, who attended Mrs.
Babcock, said tonight that on her last
visit to her patient she was apparently
on a fair road to recovery, and that she
could not understand the case at all. She
said further that on several occasions
when her services were required the peO-
pie in the house failed TO have her called
in attendance.
II is likely that the authorities will
take steps at once TO hnve the body ex-'
humcd and the stomach examined.

WOMEN WERE HIS VICTIMS
George Hartman, Insurance Swind.
Ter Arrested in Philadelphia.
Head and Is Wanted in Many
Cities.

New York, March 13.-George Hartman
who, the police say. is known in every city
from Philadelphia to Maine, under dozen
different names, is locked up a police head
quarters. There are about eighty complaints
against him, made by poor persons who hold
life insurance policies.
His scheme, it is alleged. is original
with himself and has paid him thousands Of
dollars, though ii has cost him several terms
in Jail. He has been swindIing SO long and
has been so much wanted by the poles
that his photograph and list of aliases were
at one time carried in the helmet of almost
every New York policeman.
He was arrested in The Hotel Vincent by
Central Office detectives. The plan ha
adopted was the following: He would entei
tenement house, where there would
likely be number of persons holding life
insurance policies He would knock at
tiIe door ,and when the woman OF the house
appeared would simply remark. "lnsur-
ance." If she held an insurance she would
produce the policy book without Il word,
believing him to be the agent of the COM
pany.
He would get the name of the company tho
woman was insured in from the book and
then explain that he was special agent of
the company. He had good news for her.
new law enacted at Trenton made it OBJ
ligatory for insurance companies TO pay
interest on premiums, the same as banks.
She was entitled to Il dividend. But she
must first pay certain amount 10 get the
dividend promptly.
In the case of Kate Mead, of 136 West
Houston street, whom he visited on Feb
ruary 10, he told her on payment Of
81. 50 she would he entitled to dividend
OF S27. 20, which he was prepared TO pay
her at once. She handed him the money.
He gave in return note for S27-20
signed by William Doughcrty. He told her
TO take the note to the company's office
where il would lie cashed. Ofcourse, when
the note was taken there it was found to
be worthless.

BicycleS Talk.

Are you thinking Of purchasing bicycle?
You have been confused by the representa-
tlons made concerning a great number of
bicycles of different designs. Let US help
you ont n little. Take your stand at ans
prominent corner preferably one of the APP
proaches to the Conduit road on n bright
Sunday morning in the spring. and watch
for the Columbia name-plate as they pass
by. You Will notice that n great majority
OF them are Colmmbias. Why is this?
The real reason for this great preponder-
ance OF Columbias is the real excellence of
the machine. 1t is demonstrated by its
thousands OF riders. and not by the talk
Of the salesman, for there is no esta blish-
ment in the city of Washington where so
little talking is done to sell a bicycle as in
ours. The machine speaks for itself. In
purchasing a Columbia you have behind
it the Pope Manufacturing Co., with its inn
mense plant, the largest in the world, and its
long experience, equaied by no other manu-
facturer in the country. and its combina
ton of brains and talent are far and away
above everything else in cycledom.

is IT A TRIFLE?
That Common Trouble, Acid Dys-
pepsia or Sour Stomach.
Now Recognized as a Cause of Serious
Disease.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach, Is form OF fndfges-
ton resulting from fermentation OF the FOOD.
The stomach being TOO weak to promptly
digest il, the food remains until fermenta-
tion begins. filline the ST stomach with gas. and
bitter. sour. burning taste in the mouth Is
often present. This condition soon becomes
chronic and being an every day occurrence
is given but little attention. Because dys-
pepsia is not Immediately fatal, many pco-
pie do nothing for the trouble.
1t is now well known among able physi-
clans that the whole constitution is gradual
ly undermined and weakened that The
nerves and vital organs are seriously al
fected by any form of dyspepsia. This is
plain, as every organ. every nerve In the

DON'T POISON YOURSELF
Food Is Poison If Allowed to Fer
msnt in Your Stomach.

Putrid food contains poisons SO dangerous
that they cause effects similar to aka
loids which druggists are not allowed to
sell to the public.
No wonder 80 many OF us become dan
gerously sick from indigestion
For what is Indigestion?
1t is putrid (undigested) food in the
stomach.
The poisons of undigested food are alb
sorbed into the blood, and affect the liver,
the nerves. the kidneys. the heart and all
the organs of the body.
They cause weakness, lethargy. head
ache, dizziness, nieHtal depression, bad
taste, stomachache, fever, flatulenee, pal
pitation, nausea, constipation, loss Of ap-
petite. jaundice, prostration, anaemia,
rheumatism, etc.
They can be got rid OF only by helping
the stomach to digest its food. and this is
done by the Shaker digestive Cordial.
You will never be strong or healthy SO
long as you suffer from Indigestion, SO long
as you allow your stomach 10 taint your
system with the poisonesof putrid food.
And, as for q cure. nothing will cure You
SO quickly as Shaker Digestive Cordial,
nothing SO certainly relieve your pain and
discomfort or give you new strength,
energy and endurance.

GLADSTONE ARRAIGNs RUSSIA.
Acceptance of Turkish HOnOrs Makes
Her Responsible for Outrages.


London, March 13-The Daily News says
today that Mr.. Gladstone has declined to
introduce a deputatiOn to Lord Salisbury
to urge the establishment of a national
fund under government patronage for the
relief of the Armenians, which he was
requested to do by the Anglo-Armenian
Relief Society. Mr.. Gladstone bases his
declination on grounds of physical infirmity
and abstinence from public affairs.
The Daily News adds that In conversa-
ton with Mr.. Francis S. Stevenson, NJ. P,
and chairman of the Anglo-Armenian COM
mission, Mr.. Gladstone said he greatly re-
GREETED the acceptance of Turkish honOrs
by Prince Lobanoff, the Russian foreign
minister, and NJ. Nelidoff, the Russian am
bassadOr to Turkey.
The acceptance of these honors, coupled
with Russia's recent attitude on the Ar
menian question must be held to make
Russia morally answerable for future OUT
RACES He advised that communication
addressed to Lord Salisbury would be
preferable to deputation. He did not
see any reasonable objection TO govern
ment patronage of a national fund for the
relief of the Armenians.
