CATARRH OF THE ST0M-
ACH,
Pleasant, simple, but Safe and Eff
fectuaI Cure for 1t.

teCtuaI cure Tor IL.
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risngs,
formation of gases. causing pressure on
the heart and lungs and difficult breath
ing; headaches. tickle appetite, nervous
ness and a general played out. languid
feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth.
coated tongue and if the interior of tn.
stomach could be seen il would show
Shiny, lnfiaEed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferment
and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces
OF the stomach. To secure a prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet, composed of Diastase, Asep-
tic Pepsin, little Nux. Golden Seal and
fruit acids. These tablets can now be
found at all drug stores under the name OF
patent medicine can be used with per-
feet safety and assurance that healthy APP
petite and thorough digestion will follow
thor regular use after meals.
Mr.. n. j. Booher of 2710 Dearbon street,
Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh is a local
condition resulting from neglected COLI
in the head, whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes inflamed and the pois-
onous discharge therefrom passing back
ward into the throat reaches the stomach,
thus producing catarrh of the stomach.
Medical authorities prescribed for me Cor
three years for catarrh of stomach with
out cure, but to-day l am the happiest of
men after using only one box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. l cannot find appfo-
pirate words to express my good feeling.
I have found flesh, appetite and sound
rest from their use.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest ana
most convenient remedy for any form OF
indigestion, catarrh of stomach bilious
mes, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating
after meals.

READY FOR THE BALL.
Hamilton Hall is a Pretty Sight This
Aftern oon.

Hamilton hall has been eIaborately
dressed on several different occasions,
but tonight it will probably present a
prettier appearance than at any time IN
the past Three days of tireless labor
on the part of Mrs. Sutton has trans
formed the usually dull looking hall
into an artistically arranged and dec
GRATED ball room, and at O'Clock this
afternoon it was in READINGS for the big
May ball tonight.
An Oriental effect is carried out IN
the decorations of the hall by the use
of Japanese lanterns and parasOls OF
every ina ginable hue. The stage is ar
ranged as a garden scene, with Alaba-
ma smilax and California carnations in
profusion. Here refreshments will be
served the dancers.
A fence of ferns and palms separates
that part of the hall reserved for the
musicians; 12 electric fans are arrang-
ed at different locations around the
hall, and these will add greatly to the
comfort of the dancers.
Marshall's band will open the ball
with the first waltz promptly at half
past eight o'clock.

SIMON HAS A NEW SCARE.
Now He Threatens a Libel Suit
AGAINST a Morning Paper.

Simon Greenspan says that the o. NJ
B. lodge which meets in an upper
story of the Crawford Opera House is
making an investigation preliminary to
bringing a libel suit for $50, 900 damages
against the Capital
The grievance against the Capital is
the publication of a statement that the
lodge had planned last March to give
a "Seeley Dinner" The article was
printed only a few days ago, but the
lodge thinks it has been maligned,
nevertheless. and according to Simon
the matter viii be ventilated in the
courts.
"Some of the most respectable people
in the city belong to that lodge" said
Mr. Greenspan today ''They have
been disgraced and ridiculed by that
publication and do not propose to
stand it. We will give the Capital a
chance to prove what it says
Mr. Greenspan claims that no Seeley
dinner was planned, and he thinks
that the lodge will be able to esta b.
lish that fact to the satisfaction of a
Jury. The Journal reporters were in
formed of the proposed Seeley dinner
some weeks ago and We're prepared to
report it in full in case it took place.
Mr. Greenspan promises that the suit
shall be commenced as soon as the in
vestigations which are now going on
are concluded.

Thousands of TailOrs Rush In
to New YOrk's Streets
In the Darkness at 2 O'Clock
This Morning
SHOUTING "STRIKE!''
Streets Black With People for
Many Blocks.
Seven Hundred Tailor Shops
Have Been Closed.

New York, May 1.-THE decision of
the tailors to strike today was not ar
rived at by the ordinary processes Of
reasoning. It was a wave of popular
sentiment which eliminated in an over
wheIming and resistless desire to or
der the strike at once. By something
like mental telegraphy, apparently. this
idea spread all over the east side like
flash, for in the darkness just before
two in the morning, throngs of excited
people poured into Orchard street from
all points of the compass, shouting
Strike Strike, Strike, Strike Monday.
No more waiting
A cheer which swelIed into a roar as
the Surging masses of humanity SWayed
in front of New Washington hall, call
ing for the executive committee to come
down, followed the shouts. In ten min
utes all the streets leading toward Or
chard street were black with people.
William Cohen, the new leader of the
brotherhood of tailOrs, who is also the
head of the executive committee opened
a window above in the room where the
committee met and asked the people
what was wrong.
Strike, Strike. Order a strike. We're
starving, was the reply from hundreds
of throats. why would you strike
nOw?" shouted Cohen. wait until all
the trades can strike together. You
have no demands prepared
A yell, mingled with execrations, fol-
declared that if the executive board did
not order a strike they would break the
doors down. The crowd for awhile
seemed bereft of reason.
Cohen headed a deIegatio of the ex-
ecutive committee, which came out to
reason with the tailors. Each member
was mobbed as he came out. Dozens of
fists were shaken in their faces.
Lynch them if they don't order a
STRIKE" shouted several hoarse voices
Yes" shouted hundreds of others.
lynch them. Kill them if they don't
do it,"
Men began to weep and plead saying:
90 have pity on US, and order a strike
We are earning starvation wages now"
Another singular figure of the extra
ordinary scene was that the people were
so implicitly bound up in the idea of
having leaders that though they could
have gone on strike themselves they
would not do so without the official or
derS. They were determined to force
the executive committee to order them
to strike.
Cohen expostulated at such haste.
but his speech was drowned with one
word uttered fiercely by thousands of
voices, the command Strike"
That settled it. The committee has
tened back into the meeting room and
formally ordered a general strike of the
Brotherhood of Tailors in the Metropol-
itan district. As the childrens jacket
makers and the Progressive Tailors' un-
afterward it is a foregone conclusion
they will go on a strike today.
There are about 700 shops in which
these tailors work. After the strike
has been ordered committees went
round the shops and called the taiIors
out.
The contractors were taken by sur
prise. They were not organized The
average wages the men are now get
ting is So a week. They will demand
from SO to S12,
