HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed But Look for
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 stomach. of poor digestion.
Real organic hear u,- use is incur
able: but not one east of a hundred OF
heart trouble, is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by branches
of the same great nerves. the Sympa-
thetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart is af-
fected by that form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food; there is a feel
ing Of opposition and heaviness in the
chest caused by pressure of the distend-
ed stomach on the heart and lungs, in
terfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisonS the blood,
makes it thin and watery. which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The los 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 effective digestive preparation. like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which may
be found at most drug stores and
which contain valuable, harmless di-
gestive elements. in a pleasant convent
ent form.
1t is safe to say that the regular, per-
sistent Use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at meal time will cure any form of
stomach trouble, except cancer of
stomach.
Full sized packages of the tablets
sold by druggists at 80 cents.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Many OF the mill

participate in the Inauguration parade are
very backward in notifying the local
committee. At the inauguration head

of the leading military and civic organi-

The local committee has made elaborate
preparations for entertaining the largest

near for the great demonstration the
committee finds that the notifications are
not up to their expectations.
various reasons are assigned for this
rather discouraging state of affairs. BY
some of the officials il Is said that the
railroads have not offered sufficient in
ducementS to tempt the many thousands
of people who are anxious to come TO
washington to participate in the cere-
monies attending the Inauguration of
Mai Mckinley. Hard times appear to be
the reason given by many OF the civic
organizations who are anxious to join in
the parade.
Owing to the general financial and bust
ness depression, many of the political or

try, have been obliged to send their re.

DIDN'T RUN THE BLOCKADE.
The Vesuvius Failed to Make the At
tempt as Expected.

Charleston, S. c., Feb. 12.-The battle
ship Indiana and the dynamite cruiser We
suVius arrived off Charleston bar last
night. Contrary to all expectations, the
cruiser made no effort at all to come into
the harbor or to run the blockade. She
came to anchor near the other ships of
the squadron, and is still lying there.
The Indiana had an uneventful trip
down the coast.
The Newark and Massachusetts are
hourly expected to join the fleet. 1t is
now believed that the actual attempt to
run the blockade will be postponed until
all of the fleet are here, though no Of
fetal information whatever on this sub
ject is obtainable. 1t was so rough and
foggy outside last night that little work
could be done by the ships, and so strong
a sea is running off the bar that the gun
practice of the fleet is being materially
interfered with.
This afternoon the cruiser Marblehead
came up to the city and anchored off the
battery. She has received orders to pro-
coed to Jacksonville Monday, and it is
understood that she will go from there to
Mobile in few days. Little or nothing
was done by the warships during the
day.
The Vesuvius was anchored near the
rest OF the vessels, and gave no intimatiOn
of an attempt TO run the blockade. The
dynamite cruiser, in fact, was apparently
having an uncomfortable time of it in
the heavy sea that was running. She
was rolling and plunging about in man.
ner that rendered footing on her deck
insecure to landsmen. The Amphitrite
was coaled during the day, but she will

UNCLE sAM,s NEW TORPEDO BOAT.
Secretary Herbert CongratuIates the
Builders

Washington, Feb. 6.-Secretary Herbert
this afternoon waived the usual formali-
ties which have hitherto invariably made
the acceptance of naval vessels a tedious
procedure. and accepted torpedo boat No.
6, which is now enrolled on the naval lists,
though tried only two days ago. This
procedure, which usually consumes
months, was expedited in this instance by
the almost marvellous performance of the
little vessel, as described by the members
of the trial board, who have returned to
Washington, and who have made prelim-
mary report on the test, which is compli-
mentary in the highest terms, From this,
it appears that the course over which the
runs were made was intended to be twelve
nautical miles, but in the opinion of the
board, it was slightly longer. measuring
in excess on the chart. The best run was
the first, which consumed 2i minutes 52.5
seconds, the successive runs increasing in
duration. The total knots were covered
in 125 minutes and Is seconds or at the
rate of 2S.7S knots per hour, while the re-
quirements were 27la knots. At the com
mencement of the fifth run one of the
blowers broke down, yet the run was
made at the rate of 2SA knots.
The board in its preliminary report says:
highest skill in hull and engine design
and workmanship. At her great speed
the vibration was very slight even over
the screws, and there was no evidence of
that effort and strain ordinarily noticea-
Bile on full power trials. Only a very light
wave was produced, and the boat ran as
well and with as little disturbance of the
water in sixteen feet as in ten fathoms-a
phenomenon which the board believes is
contradictory to previous experience and
theory"
The vessel is declared to be strong
enough for all her weights and no fear is
expressed that the careful measurement
of the course, the tidal computations and
other complete figures viii change the be-
| lief that she can safely exceed the con-
| tract requirements On those assurances
| Secretary Herbert ordered her prompt ac-
| ceDtance.
Secretary Herbert has telegraphed con-
| gratulations to the Herreschoffs on the
remarkable performance of the boat.
| The Gushing will be taken at once to
! Norfolk and her crew will be sent back

LINCOLN's BIRTHDAY.
New York Observes the Anniversary
as Holiday.

New York, Feb. 12-Over all public
buildings, schools and hundreds of houses
in the city to-day, the-srs SUsnd stripeE
floated in honor of Lincoln. Il happens by
the fortune of circumstances that in the
month of February the state of New York
celebrates the birthdays of two of the
greatest of national heroes, Washington
and Lincoln. One was the father and the
other the savior of his country. The men,
ory of Lincoln is still fresh in the hearts
of men, and the rising generation is COM
ing to look upon the war President iii the
same light as Washington.
Perhaps more than any other in the
union the metropolis shows her apprecia-
ton by an almost general observance of
the occasion Most of the stores were
closed to-day and business was almost en-
tlrely suspended, and snow came to add to
the general holiday air. Lncoln's birth
day is a new legal holiday in this state.
Albany, N. Y, Feb. 12~-The observance
.of Lincoln's birthday was not general
among the executive departments, only
the state, controllers and treasurers de-
partments, with one or two others of less
Importance having closed In honor of the
day. Gen. Black was at his desk at the
executive chamber as usual, and received
large number of callers. Several Of
the departments were closed after midday.
Washington, Feb. l2-Observance Of
Lincoln's birthday took the form usual OF
a banquet at night in all of the great cit
les of the north, and in a good many of
the smaller ones The day is a legal hol-
iday in New York and Illinois, and in
those states all public business was sus-
pended. In the public schools universally
throughout the northern and western
states some notice was taken of the day
in the school exercises, but no public DEM

BOSS BUCK AT CANTON.
He Takes lunch With the President
and Talks Politics.

Canton, O., Feb. 12.-AIaj. McKinley's
callers to-day numbered more than a
hundred and fifty, and many of them had
to wait several hours before they saw
him. A flag, indicating that Lincoln's
birthday was by no means forgotten, float
ed from a third-story window.
The significant caller of tho day was
Col A. e. Buck of Atlanta, Ca. who is
one of the most influential republicans
in the south. Col Buck was met az the
station by Maj: McKinley's carriage and
took lunch with the President-elect Col.
Buck and Maj. Mckinley talked about
many matters, and it is not likely the
cabinet was unmentioned.

"Is there much foundation for the OBJ

southerner because he was born in the

II think not. That objection comes from
the politicians, rather than the people.
Mr.. Evans has lived thirty years in the
south, and that fact ought to naturalize
him, so to speak. My belief is that the

Among the first callers this morning
was a delegation representing the patent
law associa ton of Chicago. They pre-
sented printed memorial recommending
that the appointee for commissioner Of
patents be a man thoroughly acquainted
with the patent laws, but did not name
any one for the position. Maj. Mckinley
listened attentively to the reading and
thanked the association for the sugges-
ton, assuring him that the subject would
be given careful consideration.
John p. Elkins and j. M. Clark of Phil
adelphia called to urge the appointment
of Gov Hastings to the cabinet.
There were a number of colored repub-
licans in town. A delegation of four from
Colfax, Iowa, came to confer with the
President-elect concerning patronage for
their race. There are three prominent
colored men, Bishop Arnett, Is. K. Bruce
and John r. Lynch, who have been men,

Giles B. Jackson, a colored attorney of
Richmond, Va, said he was here as the

reimburse depositors, many of whom lost
all they had in the crash.
