Frocks on the STAGE,

Realism in things theatrical has brought
about a great changein the matter of stage
costuming. The days OF cotton velvet
and sham diadems are past andthe modern
actress has gowns modelled after those
worn at European courts and made of the
best and most expensive materials. Her
laces, silks, satins. velyets and Jewels are
nearly always real.
The manager OF today spares no expense
in producing play. His leading ladies
are often allowed to order their own gov rs
and are given carte-blanche. They go
20 the most famous dress makers in Paris or
New York, and their costumes are made
of the finest materials throughout, their
tailor gowns being silk-lned and finished
perfectly down to the IninUtest details.
f The costuning of Il play is not rarely ad-
yertised, the public being supposed to take
for granted that ever rything of the kind
will be done in the most elaborate way
During the past year many actresses of the
first rank have had their dresses made in
this country, declaring that, while the
actual expense is about the same, the re-
suits are just Is good and the trouble in
volved much less.
Among the best-dressed actresses are
Miss Ada sRehan, Miss Maude Adams Miss
Viola Allen and Caroline Miskell- -Hoyt Miss

ANOTHER PLAN PROPOSED
A Commission to Settle Pacific
Railways Indebtedness.
A BILL TO BE PREPARED
The House Committee Thinks That
Either Three or Five Cabin ct Off
mission-It Should Have Power
to Send for Persons and Papers.

The House Committee ON Pacific Rail-
roads at their meeting yesterday demon
strated beyond doubt that in their opinion
the better plan OF settling the lons-stand-
ing Indebtedness of the Pacific Railways
to the government would be through
commission having power TO send for
persons and papers. This conclusion was
reached as the result OF a motion made
by Mr. Harrison of Alabama, that a sub
stitute committee of five should be ap-
pointed to formulate plan of settle
ment by commission on the general lines
OF the substitute offered by him in the
House several days ago when the Powers
bill was under discussion.
The Harrison substitute provided for q
commission consisting of three members of
the Cabinet, who should have power to
settle the Indebtedness of all the bond
aided railways to the government, subject
to the approval of the President. Mr..
Harrison'S motion caused a general dis
cussion which showed that the members
with practical unaniInity approved the
commission idea, the only difference OF
opinion being as to the number Of Cabinet
ministers who should constitute it.
Some of the members thought the COM
mission should consist OF more than three
Cabinet ministers, while others objected
to including the Secretary of the Treasury
on the ground that the duties of his de
partmentr are so onerous that he could not
give such consideration to the work as
it deserved. That, however, was matter
of detail that was left to a subcommittee
to settle. 1t was agreed, therefore, that
q. subcommittee, consisting OF five mem
bers, should be appointed to draft a COM
mission bill, and it was decided to in
ciude in their work a plan for the ad-
justment of the Indebtedness of the Sioux
City and Pacific Railway to the govern
ment inasmueh as the bill now before the
committee for this purpose leaves the set
Element OF this matter with the Secretary
of the Treasury.
The subcommittee consists of Powers, of
Vermont; Harrison, of Alabama; Hep
burn, of Iowa; p Patterson, of Tennessee, and
Hubbard, of Missouri They Will hold
several meetings during the next few
days, and the belief was expressed that
before the meeting of the full committee
on Wednesday next they would have pre-
pared bill, which, in their judgment, will
not only meet the approval of the commit
tee, but OF ajority OF the House as wei.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING The RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look for
the Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among Ameri-
cans, are certainly increasing and while
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life. it
Is more often the result of weak stomachs.
Of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is incurable:
but not one case in d hundred of heart
trouble Is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlledby ranches of the same great
nerves, the 8 ympathetica and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also, the hearts, affected
by thatform ofpoor digestion, which causes
gas and fermentation from half digested
food; there Is feeling of oppression and
heav1ness In the chest caused by pressure
of the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action: hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood.
makes 1t thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation of food
This can best be done by the regular use.
after meals, of some safe, pleasant and ef-
fective digestive preparation like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain yalu-
able, harmless digestive elements, in q
pleasant, convenient form.
1t Is safe to say that the regular, persis-
tent use of stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time will cure any form of stomach
trouble, except cancer of stomach.
Full size packages of the Tablets sold by
most druggists at 90 cents or by mail from

CUBAN STAMPS IN THE MAILS
A Matter Which Slightly Puzzles
Onr Postal Authorities

oNE usual
The appearance of the stamps of the So
called Cuban Republic in the United States
mails has caused much comment here, and
was the source OF some discussion at the
Post Office Department yesterday as to
whether such stamps could be recognized
as proper for the transmission OF mails
into the United States, as this government
has not recognized Cuba as free and
independent country. This is probably
the first case of its kind where insurgents
have established their own post offices
transmitted in the mails to the United
States.
At the Post Office Department it was
stated that these stamps We're good so far
as the United States was concerned, as
our poStal laws require only that the
stamps be properly cancelled and the en-.
velopes bearing mail matter bear the
postrnark of regular post office. These
regulations have been complied with so
far as the department. knows. Had they
not been admissible tie letters bearing
these stamps would have been marked
with the letter L at the receiving office
in this country, meaning tax collect
The department knows nothing about the
post office stamped on the envelope, ex-
cept that it is in Spanish territory, and
Spain is in the international postal union.
These stamps might1giSe rise to deli
cate diplomatic question, in which the
Post Office Department. would take no
part, but refer, the matter 10 the Depart.
ment of State for settlement.
