THE DIPLOMATIC TONGUE.
Amusing Efforts of American Dele
gates to Master French.

All the American delegates, attaches and
other attendants try their hands and
tongues at French, principally their hands
They gesticuIate in the language of the
French till gems of sudorific dew bespangle
their lofty brows, which glow and glitter
like the decorative bandages that are tied
around the hecks Of many of tte noble
strangers. One of the Anne rican postal Of
ficials who takes lunch with the congress
daily speaks French with such fluent GEES
lures that his wife has to sew on New but
tons and stitch up the seams OF his coat
each night. He speaks French rs though
he had practiced il with dunbbelIs, though
his friends insist that he studied It &C
cording To the Delsarte method.
Although the Preach of the A merican dele
gates SCUM dis very much like Seminole to the
European delegates who really know how
TO speak French, yet these European dele
gates arc sympathetic and appreciatiye
of the efforts of the American delegates.
One OF the French delegates said to
reporter for TIE Times today that he
would bet his week wages that the Amerl
can Delegates would have 20 feed them
selves on throat lozenges, sleep in red flan-
mel right shirts, and use coal oil gargle
for a north as a result OF their heroic
efforts at French.
One of the heads Of the POstnfifce De
partment told the reporter that he would
almost rather keep a Democrat In office
than to speak in French To most OF the
American delegates and attaches the
French language is about as clear as the
plan Of salvation or weather map.
One Of the American secretaries, who
speaks French with SwaInnOOdle accent.
confessed that when he made speech IN
the acrobatlc lingo Of the lily land he
was always afraid of puncturing his fire
or running into a washOut.
OFTEN when an American delegate is
attempting to say something in French his
gestures look very much like the commence
ment exercises al Kendall Green, with the
addition of Painful suffering of gulps
and gurgles.

product Of this Chino factory is said TO he

try by removing the only competition Which
such sugars now have. This is a self-evdent
faIIacy, this Senator says, and should be

The Hawaiian sugar product amounts 70
only about two hundred thoGnaud tons as

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe aud
EffectuaI Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been con
sidered the next thing to incurabIe. The
usual symptoms are fulIor bloating sensa-
ton after eating, accompanied sometimes
with sour or watery riSings, a formation nt
gases, causing pressure on the heart and
lungs, and difficult breathing: headaches,
tickle appetite, nervousness and general
played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny, inflamed condition.
The c3re of this common and obstinate
trouble is foundin treatment which causes
the food to he readily, thoroughly digeSted
beforeit has time to ferment andirritatet the
delicate mucoNs 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 viii have disappeared.
According to DIR. Harlandson the safest
and best treatments to use after each meal
a tablet composed of Diastase, septic Pep
sin, little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit
acids These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores under the name of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being a patent
medicine can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite and
thorough digestion will follow their regular
use after meals.
Mr. ~ J. Booher, of 271O Dearborn St.
Chicago, III, writes: ''Catarrh is a local
condition, resulting from neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes inflamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom passing back
ward into the throat, reaches the stomach,
thus producing catarrh of the stomach.
Medical authorities prescribed for HE for
three wears 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

FAST TINE AT BRIGHTWCOD.
Ambitious Trotters Show the Metal

for his friends after his colt trOtted his

thoroughly understood

WHEELMEN WIN A VICTORY
Railroad Association Decides to
Garry Bicycles Free.
Action of the New York and New
Jersey Legislatures Broke the
Back OF the Opposition.

New York, May 12.-The most important
concession yet obtained BY wheelmen is the
decision Of the passenger committee OF the
Trunk Line Association, reached yester-
day, TO accept bicycles as personal bag
gage between States. This rule, which will
go into effect a t once, does not apply 10 the
transportation of bicycles between the
United States and Canada. In such cases
bicycles will have TO be checked and paid
for as gular baggage.
The significance or this decision be-
comes apparent whenit is recalled tina t the
same committee, in November, 1895,
agreed 20 impose tax apon all bicycles
carried for passengers The passenger
committee then took the ground that the
railroads could not be expected TO carry
wheels Us they would trunks
In lS96 the New York Legislature passed
a bill compelling all railroads in the State
to carry bicycles free, and at Is last Ses-
sion the New Jersey legislature passed Il
similar bill.

action similar TO that of New York and
New Jersey This broke the back Of the
opposition. and the passenger committee 5
action will dispose OF the problem on all
