Mrs Perla solOmons' Long Life o
Good Deeds Ended.

Mrs Perla SOlOmons' Long Life of
Good Deeds Ended.
Mrs. Perla Sheftan Solomons died early
Yesterday morning at her residence, at
Gwinnett and Barnard streets.
With the passing away of this lady
savannah loses one of its oldest residents.
ana one whose interests have, as were
those of her ancestors, for her entire life
been coincident with those of the city.
city.
Mrs. Soomons' forefathers came to
America with the first of Oglethorpe's
colony. A piece of property that formed
part of the original grant to one of her
ancestors still belonged to her at the time
OIL her death, having, through all the gem
erations remained in the FAMILY.
Mrs. Solomons was in her S6th year
Her life had been an eventful one. In
It's long duration she had seen many
changes. During the civil war she was a
staunch and true confederate, and her
love for the cause was shown in many
ways. The sick and wounded southern
soldiers found comfort and care at her
hands In the Savannah hospitals, where
she took pleasure in minsterng to their
needs as an attendant.
From the period of civil war and strife
to the time when the restraining hand of
age was laid upon her philanthropic
works, the relief of the needy was her
ruling desire, and deeds of charity, com
ing from her, gladdened many a heart
For many years she was a directress of
the Abrams home.
On account of her extreme age, Mrs.
Solomons' death was not unexpected The
end that cuts off all human careers was
in her case expected at almost any time
as the deeadenee of the earthly body
comes with the fullness of the years that
were hers. She was feeble for some ten
days prior to her taking away, but death
was due mainly to old age.
Mrs. Solomons was the daughter of DR.
Moses Sheftall, the son of Mr.. Mordecai
Sheftall
The late Sheftal Sheftall, an uncle of
the deceased, reared her to womanhood.
Mr.. Sheftall lived them on Broughton
street The old frame house still stands
just east of Barnard street. Mrs. Solo,
mons was the widow of the late Liar
Soiomons. who died in 1889. Their mar
riage took place in 1S47.
A number of years ago Mrs. Solomons
presented Solomons' lodge of Masons
with a gavel, that to the lodge, possess
ed historic value. 1t was made from the
oak whose sheltering hollow served,
away back in the time of the revolution,
to secrete the lodges charter from the
British redcoats. Her great GRANDPA theirs
had hidden the document in the tree.
The funeral will take place this after
noon at $3.50 o'clock from the deceased 8

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stom-
ach Trouble.
Instantly Relieved and Permanent
Tablets.
A New Discovery, But Not Pat ent
Medicine.

Dr. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers a remarkable
cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic
dyspepsia by the use of the new discovery.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was man who
had suffered to my knowledge for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate SEEM
ed to sour and create acid and gases in
the stomach; he had pains like rheuma-
tism in the back, shoulder blades aad
limbs, fullness and distress after eating,
hpoor appetite and loss of flesh; the heart
became affected. causing palpitation and
sleepleSSneSS at night.
1 gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. AS an
experiment, l finally bought a fifty-cent
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
drug store and gave them to him. Al
most immediate relief was given, and
after he had used four boxes he was to
all appearances fully cured
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has gain
ed between 10 and II pounds in weight of
solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores, yet
l consider them a most valuable addition
to any physicians line of remedies, as
they are perfectly harmless and can be
given to children or invalids or in any con-
dition of the stomach with perfect safety,
being harmless and containing nothing
but vegetable and fruit essences, pure pep
sin and Golden Seal.
Without any question they are the SAT-
est, most effective cure for indigestion,
biliousness, constipation and all derange-
ments of the stomach, however slight or
severe.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made by
the Stuart Co. of Marshall, Mich, and
sold by druggists everywhere at fifty
cents per package.

passed through Savannah yesterday, ar
irving here at 2:O6 o'clock in the afternoon
and leaving at 2;2l.
The train takes 81 as its southbound
and So as its north bound number All
the cars are Pullman's vestibuled, elegant
ly furnished, and with the latest improve
ments and conveniences. Composing the
train are sleeping, parlor, dining, library
and observation cars, steam-heated and
lighted by electricity. Every provision that
is possible is made in the appointments
and fittings of the cars for the luxurious
comfort, ease and entertainment of the
southern tourist
The train was run with great success
last year. Its popularity was evinced by
the constant tide of southern tourists that
sought it as the pleasant means of rapid
conveyance from the frozen north to the
smiling land of sunshine flowers and trop-
ical fruits. The route over which the spe-
cial runs is safe and settled, having the
advantage of early construction, with the
resultant ease and comfort that an old
roadbed affords the traveller. No jolting,

magnificent train has it's particular advan-
tages in the elegance and luxury that

restricted. No rush of air cinders and
dust greets the passenger as he opens a
door, and without danger, egress from vne
car gains entrance to another
The train runs a flying schedule, leaving
New York at 4:90 o'clock in the afternoon;
it arrives at Jacksonville twenty-six hours
later, at $50 the following afternoon
