He could hardly keep anything on his stom-

and gave him terrible paugs.
This is an uncommon case. Dyspcptics

They may eat enough, but they don't digest
enough, much of what they eat tnrns into

THE LORDS MONEY.
No Change Allowed From the Church contri'
button Box.

LONDON, England, February l5.-
A local Judge has ruled that where O
worshipper BY mistake puts larger
amount than intended into the church
collection box, the money becomes the
Lords and cannot be refunded on q
plea of error.
The decision grew out of o suit
brought by q woman who attends
service in. the fashionable Episcopal
church at Regents park, against the
vicar and church wardens; her conten-
tion being that, during fit of mental
alteration, she had placed in the plate
gold sovereign (s5). instead of 8
silver shilling (25 cents). She there
fore sought to recover some $4 rs
The court held thai the moment the
money fell into the plate, it became an
accepted Offering to the Lord, and that
neither the church officials nor the
courts were at liberty to authorize its
return to the donor. This is said TO be
the first case and decision of the kind
on record, and may stand as prec
edent for many generations to come

CUBAN STEAMER.
The "Three Friends Case a Special Order In
the U. S. Supreme Court.

/ WASHINGTON, d. c., February Is -
4 Whether or not the steamer "Thret
Friends is o filibuster, and what,
according to strict legal definition "fiI.
ibuster" really is, are the questions
THAT the supreme court has made the
special order for to-day. The ques-
tions involved are OF the highest impor-
tance, not merely to the Cubans and
their allies in this country, but to oil
nations engaged In commerce on the
high seas.
The proceedings have been initiated
by Attorney General Harmon, and
grow out Of the recent decision of
Judge Locke, OF Jacksonville, which
held, in effect, that the Cuban insur-
gents were not people, state, a dis
trict or colony, within the meaning
of the section of the revised statutes
under which was brought the libel that
sought to prevent her taking cargo Of
arms, ammunition and volunteers to
Cuba and that consequently the expe-
dition was political one.
The attorney general, or rather the
government, holds, on the other hand,
that the ssThreo Friends' at the time
OF her being libeled, was either engaged
on political expedition against
friendly power, or else was pirate;
her arms and mounted cannon demon
sirating that her mission could not be
peaceful one.
When the supreme court was asked
for writ of certiorari, its response
was prompt, the court admitting that
the situation was most delicate one,
and that grave question of inter-
national law, which demanded imme-
diate adjudication, was involved. 1t
is thought that the arguments can be
concluded in one day.
