THEY ARE CAPITALISTS.
Savannah Street Car Conductors
Must Furnish Their own Change.

Savannah Street Car Conductors
Must Furnish Their own Change.
There are few people who are aware Of
the fact that a street car conductor in Sa-
Vannah has to be a capitalist Such, how
ever, is the case, and it is a requirement
mat the company practically makes of him
when he accepts employment as such.
The matter of furnishing change to pat
rons of the street car line is one of greater
dlfaculty than many people have any idea
OF. Probably not one half the people who
ride on the cars have the proper change
with which to pay the fare. The change
must be furnished by the conductor with
IN a reasonable amount and for so do
ing he is held responsible by the company
Under such circumstances it would be
supposed that the company would every
morning provide each conductor with a
certain amount of small change with
which to make change when passengers
do not have the right amount. But this
1t does not do. Every conductor is re-
CURED to furnish his own change and
that appears to be one of the requisites
preliminary to his employment as a con-
ductor. In some instances when conduc-
tors have appeared to take charge of their
cars without any change they have been
suspended for the day, or rather not al
lowed to go on the cars until they provided
themselves with change.
This appears to be an unnecessary hard
ship on the conductors, whose salaries are
by no means enormous. They often find
it difficult, they say to get sufficient
change together to enable them make their
trip, but they have to do it or let some
body else go in their places. In some cit
les the street car companies always furn-
ish each conductor so much change when
he starts out with his car early in the
morning, and they hold him accountable
for it. Somehow or other, however, this
plan, which would make it easier for the
men without imposing any burden On the
company does not seem to have struck

A PECULIAR REMEDY,
Something About the New Discovery
for Curing Dyspepsia.

The Rev f. l. Bell, a highly esteemed
minister residing in Weedsport Cayuga
county, New York, in a recent letter
writes as follows: There has never been
anything that l have taken that has re-
lieved the Dyspepsia from which l have
suffered for ten years except the new
remedy called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
Since taking them 1 have had no distress
al all after eating and again after long
years can sleep well. Rev. +. l. Bell,
Weedsport N " formerly Idalia, Col. ="
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a remark
able remedy, not only because Il is a GER
tain cure for ali forms of indigestion, but
because it seems to act as thoroughly in
old chronic cases of Dyspepsia as well as
in mild attacks of indigestion or bilious
ness. A person has dyspepsia simply be-
cause the stomach Is overworked: all il
wants is a harmless, vegetable remedy
to digest the food aud thus give it the
much needed rest.
This is the secret of the success of this
peculiar remedy. No matter how weak
or how much disordered the digestion may
be, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
the food whether the stomach works or
not. New life and energy is given not
only to the stomach, but to every organ
and nerve in the body. A trial of this
splendid medicine will convince the most
skeptical that Dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles can be cured. The tablets are
prepared by the Stuart Chemical Co.
of Marshall, Mich, but so popular has
the remedy become that Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets can now be obtained at any
drug store at 30 cents per package Send
for book on stomach diseases free.

HAS NOT REPLIED.
The Times Claims Mr.. Woodford's
Note Is Unanswered

The Times Claims Mr.. WOOdfOrd's
Note Is Unanswered.
London, oct 1.-THE Madrid correspond
ent of the Times says: The rumors that
Spain has replied or is on the point of
replying to United States Minister Wood
ford's note are premature. 1t is quite
true that the note asked for a reply dur
ing October. 1t is of considerable length
and contains not a few expressions of the
most friendly sentiment. 1t does not ex
plain very clearly what the positive aims
and intentions of the Washington cabi-
net really are. 1t is all the more neces-
sary for Spain to obtain accurate infor-
nation on mis- point, since important
changes have occurred since the note was
presented in both the Spanish government
and policy.
'If the assurances Gen. Woodford has
volunteered, to the effect that President
Mckinley does not desire to embarrass
Spain, are to be taken literally, it is not
unreasonable for. the Spanards to expect
that further Automatic action will be
postponed till it is seen whether the new
policy will produce the desired result.
Spain, in fact, has already replied, not
verbally, but by acts; and it is not inn
possible that the delicate questions at
issue might be complicated rather than
solved by q formal reply at this moment
to Gen. Woodford's note"

ONE MORE VICTIM,
The Fearful Increase of Disaster
From Small Beginnings.

A prominent gentleman of Brooklyn
returned from his vacation feeling in per-
feet health. As a result he was careless.
The next thing was a cold; then pneu-
monia, then death. Nearly all physical
troubles start with cold, and this is
just the season when it is most easily
taken. Some sudden change checks the
action of the body, clogs the circulation,
and lays the foundation of death. Stop
the cold in its start and you stop the
disease. A cold requires the stitch In
time"
There are many ways of attempting to
stop cold, but all physicians now agree
that there is only one sure way and that
is by the use of pure stimulants The
pores must be opened, the circulation
aroused and vigor awakened. Nothing
now known to the world does this so
certainly as Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.
1t is remedy, not a beverage. 1t has
been used for years, and is the most
popular remedy before the public MANY
doctors, clergymen, and temperance peo-
pie endorse it for its health-giving quail
ties, and it has become a family neces-
sity.
Many INSCRIPTIONS dealers claim they
nave somthing Just as good" Beware
OF all such claimants, and secure only the
genuine.

v. NJ. C. AS BIBLE SCHOOL.
A Series of Topics Arranged by Bible
Teachers.


The Young Mems Christian Association
has undertaken a line of work which it
considers of great importance. 1t is
graded course of Bible studies free to all
business men and will be taught by some
of the best Biblical teachers in the city.

o'clock. Supper will be served at o'clock

business. The cost of the supper will be
10 cents. The meal together, will, 1t is
thought, prove very pleasant feature,
conducting greater soclability and better
acquaintance. Classes will begin and
close promptly on time, leaving the bal
ance of the evening open for educational
classes or other engagements.

books of the Bible. Rev. ]. T. Ryder,
pastor Grace Methodist church, will con-
duct these studies and great pleasure and
profit is assured to members of the class.
This class is intended especially for be-
ginners In Bible study.
Course "B' will be the study of the BIZ
BILE by topics, not controversial doctrines,
but the great truths which all Christians
in common hold. Rev. Arthur j. Smith,
pastor of the First Presbyterian church,
who will conduct these studies, has had
much experience in Bible teaching, and
will doubtless make his subjects of much
interest.
Course "C' win be Biographical studies.
The purpose of these studies, as directed
by Rev. J. D. Jordan. pastor of the First
Baptist church, will be to study the strong
and weak points of the great men of the
bible. with reference to their practical APP
plication and avoidance.
In addition to these classes General Sec
retary Johnson will conduct a workers
training class for young men desiring to
help their fellow young men to the Chris
