Some of the Advantages 1t Offers
Young Men.


The last nine months has seen a great
advance in the work of the Young Mems
Christian Association. 1t has been the
most successful in the history of this in
stltution.
Possibly the greatest advance has been
along educational lines. The first year
or evening classes, organized for the pur-
pose of assisting young men to help them
selves, has clearly shown that the effort
was appreciated. The physical work has
been done well. The large gymnasium has
otten oeen crowded with young men going
through the various exercises in body
building In addition to the regular classes
many exercise a other times.
At the social entertainments
men were made to realize what a good
time one can have without spending the
evening in folly. Men meet men in an
open handed manner; the employer meets
employe and,thHs a good feeling is es-
tablished all around.
The spiritual work has been ahead of
every department. There are Bible classes
for beginners and a class conducted by
the general secretary for young men who
desire to become trained Christian work
ers. The attendance al the Sunday after
noon meetings shows an increase over the
previous year,
Young men away from their homes have
found home in the association. The we'll
furnished reading room and library have
furnished profitable evenings to hundreds
of young men, In the secretary's office
are letters from all sections of the coun-
try, and recently one from as far as Tur-
key-a mother wrote concerning her son,
father inquired after a runaway boy,
young man sought a position a business
firm asked for information, a traveller
asked for hotels and points of interest,
AS a general information bureau, the
association alone is an aid to Savannah.
The attendance at the building has
never been better; II is one of the most
popular resorts in the city for young men
to gather. The present membership of
the association is over. $50. Twenty
leading men serve as the board
of directors; sixty young men
are on working committees; eighty ladies
serve in various capacities on the ladies'
auxiliary. The employed force consists of
the general secretary, physical director for
three nights a week, and janltor, who are
kept busy from o'clock in the morning
until 1880 at night. 1t has required much
thought and hard work on the part of
those in charge to accomplish these re-
salts. The association, though managed
in strictly business-lilxe manner has had
hard pull financially, and the finance
committee is now endeavoring TO raise
funds to pay off all debts on current ex-
penses. Leading business men all over the
country testify that it is an investment
that pays WE'LL

that not drunken soldier has been seen

INTENSE SUFFERING.
FOR DYSPEPSIA and sToM4ACHE
TROUBLE.
Instantly Relieved and Permanently
Cured by stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets. tNs
A New Discovery, Hut Not a Patent
Medicine.

Medicine.
DR.. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers a remarkable
cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic
dyspepsia by the pse,of the new discovery,
Stuarts 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 apd gases in
the stomach; he had pains like rheuma-
tism in the back, shoulder blades and
limbs, fullness and distress after eating,
poor appetite and loss of flesh; the heart
became affected, causing palpitation and
sleeplessness at night. tH
I gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but, to. no. purpose. As an
experiment / finally bought 5O-cent pack
age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at a
drug store and gave them to him. Almost
immediate relief was given, and after he
had used four boxes he was to all APP
pearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour wa
terry risings no boating after meals, the
appetite was vigorous, and he has gained
between ten and twelve pounds in weight
of solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores vet
l consider them a most valuable addition
to any physicians line of remedies as
they are perfectly harmless and can be
given to children orifivaiids' or in any con
dition of the stomach with perfect safety
being harmless and containing nothing but
vegetable and fruit essences, pure pepsin
and Golden Seal.
Without any question, they are the SAT-
est. most effective cure for Indigestion
billiousness, 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.

WIFE MURDERER CONVICTED.
May Try to Chent the GaIIows by
Starving Himself.

Milford, Pa, June 13.-Herman Paul
Schulz of New York, VINO haso been on
trial since Tuesday for the murder of his
wife, was found guilty Of murder In the
first degree to-day. fie
The jury went out at O'Clock last night
and deliberated until o'clock this morn
ing before arriving at a verdict The ju-
rors remained in the court house all night
and at $3.50 o'clock this morning filed into
the court room.
The prisoner was brought In and as he
gazed at the jury his face took on'a sheer
ing smile. After the eJury's verdict mad
been announced Schulz was led back TO
his cell, and as he was passing the jury
by he laughed and said: Il thank you,
gentlemen, for your verdict"
When he had been placed IN his cell at
the jail Schulz was searched. Concealed
within the lining of his trousers and coat
was found a small saw, a file and a pen
knife. The prisoner had previously said
he meant TO cheat the gallows should he
be convicted. All efforts to persuade him
to eat have failed since the articles were
found on him.

THEY FOLLOW THE RIVER.
The Reason Savannah's Thunder
storms Come From the West.

inc heusOn SaVnnnahs thunder
storms Come From the West.
Savannah is just now passing through
series of thunderstorms. The recurring
storms seem to have no effect upon the
heat, however, which, exhibits a, tendency
to rise higher each day. Naturally more
thunderstorms may be expected.
The most interesting thing to the aver
age person about thunderstorm is to get
out of the way of it. If he is wise he does
not get under a tree, especially IL the tree
be in an open field. In the latter case the
lightning is likely to find its mark.
1t is a well known fact that. severe
storms usually come from the southwest,
beginning in that direction and gradually
shifting around to the northwest. The
severe storm which devastated Florida
last year was from the southwest and the
two severe storms which inflicted large
damage on Savannah in recent years were
both from the southwest.
Weather Observer Sherier was asked
yesterday to explain this phenomenon. His
explanation was that the northeasterly
movement of the storms is due to the ro-
tation of the earth on its axis and also to
the fact that storms move along the line
of least resistance, steering off from
mountain ranges and seeking the valleys
and water courses.
Local thunderstorms,' said Observer
Sherier, 'are the result of intense heat
The air near the earth becomes heated. be-
coming lighter with the natural result
that 1t rises. 1t meets current of cold
air coming down and condensation takes
place, with the result that clouds are
formed thunderheads they are sometimes
called. The particles of dry air, which
are charged with electricity cling to the
outside of the clouds. The moist clouds
naturally prove good conductors. When
two clouds approach each other, one
charged with positive and the other with
negative electricity, there is naturally an
attraction between them, and the result
Is lightning flash There is also
attraction between the earth and the
clouds. A thunderstorm naturally follows
a water course and / have often noticed
them moving down the river, following
its winding curves. ] nave never known

ranged for the meeting, and it is expect
ed that there will be a large attendance.
1t is to be distinctively a public meeting,
and all who feel interested in it's purpose

Cordele, Ca June Blast night at 70
o'clock two small frame houses owned by
w. e. Smith and A. E. Hamilton was to-
tally destroyed by fire. After the fire
had been extinguished the body of Walter
Nesby, a negro itinerant dentist, was dis
covered In charred condition. The head
and arms were found several feet from the
body. and there was some suspicion of foul
play, as another negro man was occupy
ing the same room with Nesby. and Nesby
was known to have some money with him.
The suspected party was arrested, but
subsequently released, as circumstantial
evidence was not sufficient to hold him.
Nesby went to his room about 1870
o'clock In a drunken condition.
Both buildings were fully covered by

Republicans Hope to End the De-
bate In Two weeks.

bate In Two weeks.
Washington. June 13.-The sugar sehed-
ule of the tariff bill is expected 10 con-
tnue to be the subject of consideration
in the Senate for the next day or two.
The Hawaiian treaty and antitrust
amendments are still to be disposed of,
and both will cause. considerable debate.
With the sugar question settled. the
agriculture schedule. which has been par
TALLY considered, will be again taken up,
and win in turn be followed by the tobacco
schedule, il in the meantime the republi-
cans agree upon its provisions.
The republican managers hope to also
dispose of the spirit and cotton schedules
during'"the week, and possibly to make
some progress with the hemp and fax pro-
visions. W
There will be no great amount of debate
on either cotton or spirits. There was at
one time talk OF an attempt to add COM
pensatory duties on cotton goods, because
of the duty fixed on raw cotton, but this
is understood to have been abandoned if
ever seriously contemplated. The demo-
Gratis do not find the present schedule OBJ
Jectfonable except In minor details, and
viii allow it TO go through with but little
discussion.
The republican managers now hope that
the debate in the Senate will be conclud-
ed within the next two weeks, notwlth-
standing less than one-third of the bill
has been gone over, They have secured
an agreement with the democrats that
the session shah begin at II O'Clock. In
stead of AZ, after Wednesday next.
The House probably will continue its
policy of adjourning from Monday over
to Thursday, and from Thursday until the
following Monday. No business win be
done, and the session tomorrow and
Thursday will be merely perfunctory.

There Are Thousands of People suf-

Some of the most deadly diseases from
which humanity is a common sufferer are
caused by the entrance into the system,
and the subsequent growth there, of GER
tain micro-organisms, or germs These
diseases have been aptly called "hlth dis
eases" because the germs which cause
them flourish most luxuriantly in all sorts
of organic dirt, or filth. Such germs
commonly occur in water drawn from a
contaminated water supply, or in ice taken
from contaminated ponds or rivers.
Among the most. common Of germ dis
eases are typhoid fever, .diphtheria, chol-
era, cholera infantum and yellow fever.
Physicians all agree that from impure
WATER the greatest danger arises. And
when II is remembered that the only real
ly pure water is distilled water, that ice
water is often prolific. in disease germs
and that even boiled water fails to purify
1t, 1t IS at once seen how great is the
danger that confronts us.
The best advice which can be given to
people, whether residing in city or coun-
try, is to make use of some pure, effectual
stimulant which will keep the blood in
healthy circulation and prevent contagi-
GUS germs getting a stronghold on a stag
nant system. Nothing will do this so we'll
as pure whiskey, and the pure whiskey
best known to the world is Duffys pure
malt
Not only will 1t keep the system in vigor-
GUS condition. but it's addition to even
contaminated water will render 1t harm
less.
