Sir Ben jamin Ward Richardson was IL vivi-
sector within reasonable bounds, but above
all he was a physician. His warning to
the profession that modern experimentation
tends to unfit the physician for the pIac-

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and
Effectual Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been con
sidered the next thing to incurable. The
usual symptoms are fullor bloating sensa-
ton after eating, accompanied sometimes
with sour or watery risings, formation ot
gases, causing pressure on the heart and
lungs, and difficult breathing; headaches,
tickle appetite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeling
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, aud if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny, inflamed condition.
The care Of this common and obstinate
troubleis foundin treatment which causes
the food to be readily, thoroughly digested
beforeit has time to ferment andirritatethe
delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach
To secure prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and when
normal digestion is secured the catarrhal
condition viii have disappeared
According TO DR.. Harlandson the safest
and best treatments to use after each meal
a tablet composed OF Diastase, Aseptic Pep
sin, a little NuX, Golden Seal and fruit
acids These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being patent
medicine can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite and
thorough digestion will follow their regular
use after meals.
Mr. N ]. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn St,
Chicago, Ill, writes: "Catarrh is a local
condition, resulting from a neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes inflamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom passing OK
ward into the throat, reaches the stomach,
thus producing catarrh of the stomach.
Medical authorities prescribed for HE for
three years for catarrh of stomach without
cure; but todayI am the happiest of men
after using only one box OF Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets / cannot find appropriate
words to express my good feeling. have
found flesh, appetite and sound rest from
their use.''
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest andmost
convenient remedy for any form Of indiges-
tion, catarrh of stomach, biliousness, sour
stomach, heartburn and bloating after
meals.

Wall street Yesterday.

New York, May 13.-The reactionary
tendency of the stock market was accen-
tuated today by advices from Washington
Indicating a more serious phase OF the
general situation in Cuba, so far as this
country may become involved. The adv!ces
in this respecs We're not received until the
afternoon, but upon their general dis
senilnation the market sold off rapidly and
rallied very feesly at the close. There was
practically no other influence in the days
market, for with the correction of the ex-
travagant estimates as to the shipments OF
gold on Saturday. the bear room traders
were left without much speculative am
munition, which probably accounts for the
avidity with which they seized upon the
revival of the Cuban question. Gold TO the
amount of $1,000,0OO was engaged for
export Saturday, and at least as much in
addition is expected to be taken tomorrow.
But the actual shipments will still fall far
below the general stock exchange estimates
of the week.
At the opeI:ing OF business the tone of the
market was fairly steady on renewal Of
purchases for foreign account, and the gen

AS was TO be expected, the New York
stock market went off rapidly yesterday
afternoon On tie threatening news from
Washington relative TO the Cuban situation
The stock market is always most sensitive
over war news or even the intintation OF
foreign troubles, as was 10 be seen, for
Instance, when the trouble between Turkey
and Greece made itself apparent The
much more ultimate difficulties OF the
Cuban situation, as far as the United States
Is concerned, were received yesterday and
will undoubtedly be received today, with a
much more decided feeling or fear by the
owners OF railroad securities and other
stocks. There was much more selling
of long stock by investors yesterday, ana
the bears made full use OF the situation in
attacking the list There Will almost
certainly be repetition OF yesterdays
declines today. The gravity of the de-
clines can be measured, OF couIse, by the
news of the situation as it appears, but
already sufficient has developed in tie
complication To make an early decline very

cosDEMNATIoN PROCEEDINGS.
Preliminary Steps for the Extension
of Connections Avenue.

The Commissioners of the District Jf Co
iumbia yesterday filed! a bIlIin equity aefore
the supreme court Of the District praying
that they be given the right to condemn GER
tain lands between Florida avenue and
Waterside drive, along Rock Greek, as in
structed in the act OF March 8, 1897 pro-
yiding for the extension of Connecticut
avenue, and authorizing them to condemn
the right Of way through certain lands in
the section above mentioned. The property
affected by the proposed street extension
is one Of the most beautiful sections around
the city, taking in portions OF Kalorama
and Washington Heights, Oaklawn. portions
OF Tuttle's and Truesdell's subdivisions
and occupies large extent Of territory to
be donated by property owners.
That it will not be given up without a
bitter struggle can well be seen, for the
reason that 1t lies in one OF the most valn-
able suburban sections of the District, and
by its condemnation property holders will
lose velcable portions of their land

Sugar was one of the weakest stocks on
the board yesterday. There was, in the
case of sugar, beside the Cuban trouble and
the unfavorable tariff news, the complica-
tions that have developed in connection
with the Chapman contempt case, grow
ing out of the sugar legislation of couple
of years ago 1t is thought by many
shrewd operators that the Chapman
troubles in connection with the present
revelations as TO the sugar schedule and
the way it was formed, may have an even
further effect in sending down the price
of sugar. Moore & Schley have been max
ing large sales of sugar, and their CORE
spondent, Mr.. Mccartney, is certainly one
OF the gentlemen who is best able to
advise with regard to the Washin gton
situation in this stock,
There is TO be a decline in sugar, UNI
questionably, but unless the whole market
goes off radically it is quite possible that
this decline may be small. 1t must always
be borne in mind with regard TO the stock
OF this trust, that it will probably be able
to earn its dividends, no matter what
sugar schedule becomes law. / look for
a strong rally from the prices that sugar
drops to ON this occasion.

There is some difference of opinion as
to the significance of the report OF the
American Tobacco Company. Most Of the
authorities have seemed to believe that
the report is very favorable, but it is to
be remembered, also, that, although the
company seems to be very strong in cash,
its net earnings last year were materially
below those of 1895, and the surplus over
all payments was pulled down more than
half million dollars.

Fancy Waists.

Immediately after the holidays all the large establishments offer for sale number of costumes which were import ed in the autumn, and among them are many very beautiful French gowns Fancy waists of every description are also to be had, and, while there is no doubt that it is more in style to have skirt and waist of the same material, it will be long time before separate waists are pronounced entirely out of fashion. There are so many occasions when all odd waist is just what is need ed that women will not consent to give them up until the last moment. Chiffon, that wonderful material, still proves most aIluring, and, made up i'll the solid colors, is smart and becoming. Different shades of red, blue and purple, made very simply, but with no economy as re- gards the quantity used, are greatly i'll favor In pale blue a pretty style has the surplice effect. Where the folds cross is a graceful rosette, and the ruff at the back of the collar is held up by band of gold passementarie studded with tar quoises, while q narrow belt te match is charming finish to the waist. A red waist fashioned like the blue, has imi- tation rubies instead of the turquoises, and remarkably natural are the stones. In pale mauve is an exquisite waist, with collar and belt of amethysts, which stones, by the way, have fairly jumped into fashion and are worn ill brooches, collars, belts and the inevitable chain about the neck.
 On all the chiffon waists the sleeves are shirred and puffed-and tho mate rial is particularly adapted to shirring while full puffs on the tops of the sleeves add the desired breadth to the shoulders. Satin is preferred to silk for the lining, as the sheen it possesses seems to add more luster to the thin fab ric Black chiffon waists do not show any marked change of style and are trimmed with horse hair net, with many ieweled ornaments sewed on around the collar and in corselet style. -Harper's Bazaar

Nettie Wood of the Hearst Grammar school, made an appli- cation for the position, The schoe' board met and considered the matter, and 1t appointed committee to asccr- tain just where the Farallones came in on the school map, and decided that the rocks were in the San Francisco school district, and, further, that there were ten children, sufficient to warrant the running of school the educational year around Having so decided, Miss Doud's application was fayorably con- sidered, and she was duly appointed.

Women,s Athletic Clubs.

Already there is talk of the organiza- ton of wom ms athletic clubs in some of the large cities This should cause no surprise. A higher physical develop ment for women is required by the rapid advancement of the sex in those pastimes and business pursuits formerly monop- olized by men. Public sentiment has undergone a marked change in the past few years, making it possible for yemen to engage in athletics for the improve ment of her physical we'll being with out exciting mortified comment from those who have high regard for the nroprieties of life. It is no longer con tended by any considerable number cf people that in doing this she necessarily sacrifices the dignity and refinement be- longing to an ideal American woman hood
 All modern arguments seem to be in favor of stronger and more rugged phys ical development on the part of the weaker sex. It is the kind of develop lnent that brings the strength necessary to sustain the burdens and trials of ma ternity, the obligations of wlfehoed, the duties of homemaking, the responsiblH- ties of official trust and the exactions of the various fields of usefulness that have been opened to women all over thls country. There has been an evolution of the popular conception of the ideal wom- sn. She may represent the highest type of womanly grace and refinement and still boast of we'll trained muscles, steady nerves, healthful digestion and sound organization The woman who has been tat ght to fill only the place of the ..clingirg vine' is unfitted for the newer conditions of life. She is unpre pared for aD of the many emergencies that may burden her with responsi bill. ties and dut,es requiring strength, self confidence and endurance.
