congress cannot well refuse to enact the

to be only a question as to whether the

day evening Rev. DR.. Thomas of the Oil
vet Baptist church will unite in marriage
George William White and Miss Sophia

an average sized woman, and her future
husband describes her as the best look
ing colored girl in Chicago"
shorty White, as George is called
around the Leland hotel, came struttinS
up to Chief Clerk Kelley and announced
in a solemn voice that he was going to be
married 1t created a sensation around
the hotel, where White has worked for
two years carrying messages. All of the
old boarders would not believe the news
until George himself had confirmed it.
When Tomb Thumb was in the height
of his fame his managers secured White
to drive the little carriage. The Georgia
colored lad was but a few inches taller
than Tom or his wife. After a time
George came to Chicago and was en-
ploved by c. L. Willoughby as footman.
This position he occupied for some time,
and then came to the Leland as messen-
ger and confidential clerk for all the
boarders.
George says he has been single long
enough and he can see no reason why any
man who makes money cannot find Wo-
man who wants him. Even if he is small,
he says he is good-looking, dresses well
and makes money. The wedding will be

MODERN NOAH,s ARK.
Barnum & BaiIey's Great Circus En-
barks for Europe.

New York, Nov. 15.-On the pier of the
Atlantic Transport line, at the foot of
Houston street, Barnum & Bailey's circus
was assembled Saturday morning await
ing embarkation by the specially charter
ed steamship Massachusetts, which is to
take the menagerie to Europe, where it
will remain for the next two years. Early
in the morning the animals arrived in
town from their winter quarters at
Bridgeport. Most of them were in big
cages while the two herds of elephants,
the camels, the zebras, bronchos and
horses were ahoof. The show paraded
through the streets to the Houston street
pier, where everything was in readiness
to place it aboard the Massachusetts. The
400 horses were first led up a wide run.
Then the zebras followed, and after
them the smaller elephants were placed
in large boxes and run aboard. No trou-
BILE was experienced in getting them into
the hold, where compartments had been
built for them.
The cages containing the lions and other
exhibits were detached from their trucks
and hoisted into the forward hold. These
animals will remain in the cages during
the trip across the ocean. Immense boxes,
built of large planking fastened with iron
bolts, were on the pier to be used for the
herd of ten big elephants. Each elephant
will be driven into box and the ends
closed. They will be hOisted aboard the
steamship tomorrow morning. 1t is the
intention of the managers to keep the
ill-tempered elephants encased in boxes
on the voyage over.
Stalls for the other animals have been
built on the two lower cargo decks and
on the upper after deck. The animals
were all their good behavior this
morning.
Five hundred employees will go abroad
on the Nfassa chusetts to care for the ami
mails. The other members of the circus
have already left on the fast transatlantic
liners.
The Massachusetts, will sail for London
as soon as she finishes loading.
1t will cost $4,000 to carry the circus
to Europe and the steamship will be nine
days en- route. Special care viii be taken
to transport the circus, as the English
and continental tracks are narrower than
the American tracks. Johanna, the fam
Gus chimpanzee, will have six cases of
wine, boxes of oranges and other fruits
for her own use.

THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and Stomach Troubles
Ridicule, However, is Not Argument
and Facts are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and
in many cases so obstinate to cure
that people are apt to look with sus
picion on any remedy claiming to be
radical, permanent cure for dyspep-
STA and indigestion. Many such pride
themselves on their acuteness in never
being humbugged, especially on medi-
cines.
This fear of being humbugged may
be carried too far; so far, in fact, that
many persons suffer for years with
weak digestion rather than risk a lit
tie time and money in faithfully test
ing the claims of a preparation so re-
liable and universally used as Stuart's
Dyspepsia. Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines for the reason that they are not
a secret patent medicine; no secret is
made of thor ingredients. but analysis
shows them to contain the natural di-
gestive ferments. pure aseptic pepsin,
the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bis
muth, hydrastis and nux- They are
not cathartic, neither do they act pow
erfuly on any organ, but they cure in
digestion on the common sense plan
of digesting the food eaten promptly,
thoroughly before it has time to fer
ment, sour and cause the mischief.
This is the only secret Of their sue
cess.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach
troubles because they act entirely up
on the bowels, whereas the whole trou-
BILE is really in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken
after meals, digest the food. That is
all there is to it. Food not digested or
half digested is poison, as it creates
gas, acidity, headaches, palpitatiOn of
the heart, loss of flesh and appetite.
and many other troubles which are
often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
where at so cents per package. Ad-
dress Stuart Co, Marshall. Mich, for
book on stomach diseases, or ask your
druggist for it
