OBSERVANCE OF THE DAY.

Memorial day is for an observance,
not q celebration. 1t is sacred to the
heroic dead. The distinction between
il and other American holidays is very
clear. Thanksgiving day. Christmas
and the Fourth Of July are all days of
rejoicing. The flrst two have divine
character whose influence should be
more marked than it is upon the char.
acter Of their celebration, but the
Fourth of July is very properly set
apart as the date for the noisiest and
most enthusiastic demonstrations Of
patriotism. New Years day has come
to have no great significance. 1t is lit
tie more than ga day off," and the ma
ture Of it's celebration is a matter of no
moment. .
But Memorial day, says the Chicago
News, stands apart from them all. We
should not forget that it is primarily
a commemoration Of death. The sor-
row that it evokes may be softened by
tine and the patriotic observances it
suggests may divert our thoughts TO
the glories of our country, but nothing
should be allowed to interfere with the
essential solemnity of the festival.
This is the view that is taken by
those people who are indignant that an
anniversary so sacred to them should
be made the occasion for grand ac-
cession Of racing, gambling, cock fight
ing and similar amusements.

Names Musical Festival.

Bangor, Me-, May 26.-At a well-at-
tended meeting in the board of trade
rooms last night the question of provid-
ing for the holding of the Maine musical
festival in Bangor was discussed at
great length. There was entire willing
ness to raise money necessary for suit
able building. but decided opposition to
division of the festival between Port
land and Bangor. The general senti-
ment was that Bangor alone should have
Il, and the whole of It, as originally pro-
posed. A resolution was adopted to the
effect that If the festival can be held here
I'm its entirety the money should be
raised, and a committee was appointed
to solicit subscriptions. Several large
subscriptions have already been re-
ceived. Mr.. Chase and Professor Chap
man were notified Of the action Of the
meeting.
Lewiston. Me-. May 26.-Professor w.
r. Chapman. director of the Maine musi-
cal festival, has decided to hold the east
ern part in Bangor and the western in
Portland. Dates not given.

NERVOUS TROUBLES
Begin with Inability to Digest Foo


Thousands of men. women, and even
children, who suffer from nervous weak
ness, prostration, sleeplessness, nervous
headache, frequently get the cart before the
horse in the treatment of their trouble. In
all cases of nervous exhaustion, the di ges-
tion and appetite are poor or entirely lack
ing, yet they invariably ascribe this condi-
tion, not to the stomach, but to the nerves.
The real fact is that all nervous troubles
arise and are caused by weak digestion
and this Is plain because nervousness is
simply an indication Of tired nerves,
starved nerves, and the only way they are
starved is because the stomach fails to di
gest a sufficient quantity of nourishing
food, to supply the immense expenditure
of nerve force wasted daily. Nervous peo-
pie expend more nerve force than the weak
digestion can replace.
Is 1t not plain that the common sense
treatment to give In all nervous weakness
is to begin with the stomach? Build up a
good appetite, thorough digestion Of
wholesome food, and whoever saw ner-
vous wreck who could eat a hearty dinner
and digest 1t?
Nervousness and good digestion are
never found in the same individual, and
how quickly the nervousness vanishes
when the appetite becomes normal and the
food Is promptly digested before fermenta-
tion and acidity can take place.
Treat the stomach first, and do 1t with a
safe, well-tested, reliable remedy, like Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are
no wonderful decoction warranted to per-
form miracles, but are simply a pleasant,
absolutely harmless digestive to be taken
after each meal. They do not act on the
bowels, but do the only thing really neces-
sary, they digest the food promptly and
completely, leaving none to sour, ferment
and poison the blood and nerves.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are used and
advised by physicians because they are no
secret patent medicine, but contain only
the natural digestive acids, fruit juices and
peptones. They increase flow of gastric
Juice and build up the appetite, nervous
system and increase flesh as no other rem
edy has done before, because by perform
ing the work of digestion they rest and
build up the whole digestive system.
So popular have they become by reason
of their merit, the pleasant taste and con-
venience (can be carried In the pocket)
that all druggists now sell them at 80 cts
per pkg.
No one having,any trouble with their di-
gestion will ever fegret having made trial
Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

The War sonC. stin Live.

Decoration day again, with its solemn
ceremonies, its flowers and it's ever
lessening columns of men who marched
out in the sixties to the same inspir-
ing airs. Those old war songs! Is there
one of us who does not feel thrill at
sound of them. though he has heard
them ever so often? Long ago. great
man said: Let me but write the songs
of n nation, and l care not who makes
its laws."
And surely the authors Of such songs
as Tramp, Tramp. the Boys Are March
ing" and Marching Through Georgia
have left their impress upon the ma
tion which has for over 30 years lis
tened to them, whether sung by n
mighty chorus, hummed as n lullaby
or ground out by a wheezy street organ!

sued by the governor. The session was
made necessary through the error of a

racing and bookmaking unlawful. The
amendment is to be submitted to the
people for ratification In October. and
the error was not discovered until Gov

weeks ago. previous to signing 1t. The
error consists Of the introduction OF the

TARIFF DEBATE BAG.NS
The Amended Bill Placed Before the
Senate by Aldrich.
Consideration Of Paragraphs
Commences.
Chairman Dinglsy and Others Were interested
Listeners.

Washington, May 26.-The senate for
mally took up the tariff bill yesterday.
and will consider 1t steadily from now
until it is passed and sent back to the
house, which will probably be within
six weeks, working on 1t literally night
and day.
Republican senator's predict that
among the changes that will be made in
the senate revision by majority of the
Republicans will be the substitution for
the increased beer tax Of tax on trans
fers of shares Of stock. and tax on bank
checks. The Republicans propose to
settle their differences outside the SEN
ate chamber. and to present united
front there, and they believe that, III they
do So they will be able to arrange for the
votes they lack to give them majority
against the combined forces OF the OPP
position, which have already promised
not to make factious fight.
Minor business claimed attention up
to %. m. when Senator Aldrich of
Rhode Island, In charge of the tariff
bill, had the measure laid before the
senate and took the floor for the opening
speech At that time every available
seat in the galleries was occupied.
The Republican side of the floor showed
an almost solid representation, there be-
ing three or four vacant seats. The
Democrats also presented full ranks,
and the scattered seats of the Populists
were occupied with but enc exception.
Mr.. Dingley, chairman OF the ways and
means committee, and author OF the
house bill, took seat Immediately be-
side Mr. AIdrich and listened attentively.
Other Republican members OF the ways
and means committee and Representa-
tive Simpson of the Populist contingent
occupied the rear lounges. Speaker
Reed was not present. Mr.. Aldrich
spoke for almost IL hours. adopting an
easy conversational style. His speech
was the official utterance Of the finance
committee, and in q sense Of the Republi-
can side Of the chamber. Without max
ing invidious distinctions between the
two bills, Mr.. Aldr1ch clearly stated, as
the belief of the finance committee, that
the house bill would not yield revenue
| adequate for the needs Of the govern
ment.
Mr.. Vest Of Missouri. one Of the Demo-
cratic members Of the finance committee.
followed with a statement In opposition
| to the bill. He spoke of the futility OF

| pie when there was q balance Of 312S. 600.

schedules In detail. declaring that some
OF them were designed to be prohibitive
He severely attacked the increase IN the
lead duty. declaring II was for the bene-
nt of the ''cormorants" Of monopoly
and against the people.
Mr.. Cannon Of Utah. q silver Repubii-
can, closed the debate for the day by
urging that the protection should be &c
distributed as to aid the farmer.
Early In the day Mr.. Mallory, the new
senator from Florida, was sworn in and
took his seat.
