SUSUPud Judgment

The explosion of the battleship Maine
is not only the most terrible disaster
which has occurred TO the American ma
Wy, but the most mysterious that has ev-
err occurred anywhere. Numerous theo-
Ties have been given and expressions
made by experts upon the cause of the
explosion, but all vary I'm their opinion.
As to the cause Of the catastrophe, abso-
lutely nothing is known, and TIE public
cannot act more wisely than accept the
advice of Capt. Sigsbee and suspend
judgment. People should suspend their
judgment until they have made a thor
ough investigation Of the beer they drink,
and should pursue their examination I'M
I'll they have discovered a beer that is
recognized as a standard. such as Heu-
Iich's Maerzen. The final decision of ev-
eryone will ultimately end in selecting
Heurich's as superior in age. purity and
strength. 1t

that they have been doing hard and
faithful training, and are ready for a stiff
fight.
The go will he for twenty rounds.
1t is hoped that the affair will not be

merous fizzles cannot be laid to the
door of the club managers, but they get
the blame. nevertheless.

John Sullivan, the popular foreman
of Engine No. 1, is going back East to
attend the golden wedding of his faith
er and mother in Rhode Island, SO
the boys concluded to give him little
surprise last night.
So they let Chief Engineer Guthrie
into the secret and he made a visit to
the engine house and made a brief but
pretty presentation speech, presenting
Sullivan with a handsome gold headed
cane for his father and a beautiful gold
pin for his mother Sullivan expressed
his thanks in his best language.
Then one Of No. rs company tuned
up and sang the following words COM
posed for the occasion:
We have gathered here tonight, Jack,
to have little time,
We know you'll soon be going far away
To your boyhood's happy home in that
distant Eastern cline,
To be present at the Golden Jubilee.
Of course we can't be with you Jack, you
know they need US here,
We must always be ready for a run,
But bear this little token back to those
whom you hold dear,
And tell them it was sent by Engine
One.
When the jubilee is over, Jack, come
back to us again,
You know that we will miss you when
you're gone,
And we'l try to keep our record up at
fires just the same,
For a cracker-jack is Engine Number
One.
Chorus.
The boys Of Number One wish you luck
To the the home home Of your childhood far
away.
And when the old folks meet you and
with fond embraces greet you,
Don't forget the boys of Engine Num-
Der One.

SPANS MIsRULE.
Rev. A. G. Herrick's Lectures on the
Late War.

Rev. A c. Herrick lectured at the
Sixth-street Methodist Church last
night. Subject: Spain in Cuba and
the Philippines with particular refer
ences to Dewey's great victory at
Manila
There was large attendance. and
the address was extensively illustrated
with photc-opticon slides, many of
which were true to life, others fanciful
portrayals of justice, Spanish types,
avenging agents of the law, etc. The
photographs of scenes and people in
and around Havana were realistic pre-
sentations of all the horrors OF Span
ish misrule Among these were pho
tographs Of starved and starving re-
concentrates, Of Cubans lined up to
be shot, and like subjects.
The speaker emphasized the fact that
Spain had always been cruel unjust
and treacherous with her subjects, as
We'll as with her enemies. He went
over the events that led up to the late
war, justifying Americans and seeing
in it the footprints of retributive JUS
tice. Dewey's glorious victory was told
with the stirring features illustrated
and explained, and an era Of expansion
and good feeling was portrayed.

Heart troubles, at least among Amer
leans, 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 stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is in
durable; but not one case in hundred
OF heart trouble is organic
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by branches
or the same great nerves. the sympa-
thetic and pneumogastrfc.
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 oppression and heaviness in the
chest caused by pressure Of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs.
interfering 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 most sensible treatment for heart
trouble 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.
It is safe to say that the regular,
persistent use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form Of stomach trouble except cancer
Of the stomach.

by druggists at so cents.
