A BICYCLE POLICEMAS.
He StoTs runaway Horse on
Crowded Street.

New York, March u.-Bicycle Police
man Thaddeus NJ. Jones proved himself
a hero in Herald Square yesterday.
Crowds saw him dragged westward
through Thirty-fourth Street, clinging
desperately to the bride of a runaway
horse with one hand and guiding his
wheel with the other. In this manner
Broadway and Sixth Avenue, one of the
busiest corners i'm the city, was crossed,
Vet Jones never lost his seat or his grip.
Jones was assigned to duty on Fifth
Avenue. He was standing at the corner
Of Thirty-fourth Street when he no

had gotten beyond the control Of the
driver Just as the animal bolted
Jones swung on his wheel and gave
chase Fortunately he had a clear
track. and before the runaway had COW
cred half the distance TO Broadway he
was alongside the galloping horse.
Two more turns of the pedal and he
was at its head. and. leaning from his
saddle, had grasped the bride. The
driver was doing his best, but could not
hold the maddened animal
The clatter OF hoofs on the asphalt at

and there was a rush toward the cor

Cable and horse cars cross here every
second and il seemed that a collision
must happen. But Jones kept Juggling
at the bride even as his wheel bounded

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A SIMPLE, HARMLESS REMEDY
Yet 1t Cures the Worst Cases of
DysDeDsia and Indigestion.

DR.. Jennison, who has made a life study
Of stomach troubles, says: "All forms of
indigestion really amount to the same
thing. that is, failure to completely di-
gest the food eaten; no matter whether
the trouble is acid dyspepsia or sour
stomach, belching of wind, nervous dys-
pepsia, or loss of flesh and appetite;
person will not have any of them if the
stomach can be induced by any natural,
harmless way, to thoroughly digest what
is eaten, and this can be done by SIM
pie remedy which i have tested in hun
dreds OF aggravated cases with complete
success. The remedy is a combination of
fruit and vegetable essences, pure asep-
tic pepsin, and golden seal, put up in the
form Of pleasant tasting tablets, and
sold by druggists under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. One or two
Of these tablets should be taken after
meals and allowed to dissolve In the
mouth and mingling with the food in the
stomach. digests 1t completely before it
has time to ferment, decay and sour
On actual experiment one grain of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three
thousand grains of meat, eggs, and SINH
lar wholesome foods.
1t is safe to say IL this wholesome
remedy was better known by people gen.
orally. 1t would be national blessing
as We are a nation of dyspeptics, and
nine-tenths Of all diseases owe their orr
gin TO imperfect digestion and nutri-
ton.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a
secret patent medicine, but a fifty-cent
package will do more real good for a
weak stomach than fifty dollars worth
of patent medicines, and a person has
the satisfaction of knowing just what he
is putting into his stomach. which he
does not know when widely-advertised
patent medicines are used.

the Herald from Washington says: For
mer Governor Merriam, of Minnesota, is
said to be slated to succeed Secretary
Hitchcock as AMBASSADOR to Russia.
Mr.. Merriam's friends assert, with every
indication of assurance that the incident
is closed between the president and the
former governor, and his name will go
to the senate soon after the holidays.
Mr.. Merriam is now in Washington
and has had several interviews with the
president, but declines 10 confirm or
deny the report. Those familiar with
Minnesota politics are aware that the
president has more than a passing
friendly regard for Mr.. Merriam, and
had he to consult only his personal de-
sires, place in the cabinet would have
been bestowed upon the former governor.
He was also favorably mentioned in the
early stages of the present administra-
ton in connection with various diplo-
matte missions abroad, from ambassador
to the court of St. James, down to con-
sul-general in Cuba.
President McKinley's wish to reward
his friend was not agreeable to Senator
Davis, but it is believed that Senator
Davis, while refusing to become entirely
reconciled to Mr.. Merriam. has so far
curbed his personal feelings that he may
not antagonize the wishes of the presi-
dent should the latter determine to send
Mr.. Merriam to st. Petersburg.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 29.-Oficial
notice has been received by Major-Gen-
eral Merriam that General Shafter is to
be again assigned to the command of the
department of California. It is ex-
pected that General Shafter will take
charge about the 9th of next month.
General Merriam has not yet been as
signed. He may go north again to the
department of Columbia. The impress
sion prevails, however, that he will go to
Denver, to command the department of
Colorado, and that the departments of
California and Columbia will be COM
bined under Shafter.

ably be confronted upon his arrival al
Washington to take his seat in the 56th
congress by proposition of expulsion
because of his alleged polygamous
practices. Some of the ablest consti-
tutional lawyers in the house who have
studied this Eow celebrated case declare
there is nothing in the constitution oi
the United States to prevent Mr.. Rob
erts from taking his seat, but they add
that the house, by two-thIrds vote,
may expel him on the ground that he
is living in violation of the general laws
which govern the United States.

Two Pointed ouesrlons Answered.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price for it2
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
SO that while our profits may be smaller
on single ecale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
Ii both articles are brought prominent
ly before the public both are certain to
be tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
know to be reliable, and for coughs,
colds and Group there is nothing equal
to amberlain's Cough Remedy. For

SAVED
FROM TERESA
Only About Four Hundred Dollars
Worth of Property Recovered.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Not much of
! value has been obtained from the wreck
of the Infanta Marie Teresa, according
to report from United States Consul
McLain, at Nassau, who was charged by
the state department with the task of
recovering such of the property as could
be saved. His report just received at
the navy department, shows that the
marshal of the admiralty court had
gathered a lot of miscellaneous articles,
such as pieces of ropes, boxes of candles,
groceries. canned goods, lanterns, etc.
The valuation placed upon them was
$400, half of which sum would, under
the law, belong to the salvers. The con-
sui reported that he should withhold
from sale an American flag, and in ap-
proving his recommendation to that eff
feet, the navy department cabled him
also to preserve with the American flag
British ensign which was among the
articles recovered.

Rebels Capture Tnlcan.

a telegram through the Columbia 'front.'
Ter saying that Tulcan as taken recent
ly by the invading revolutionary forces
under General Rivadniera, defeating the
government troops. The Herald's cor
respondent at Guayaquil confirms the
news. The invaders marched on Ibarra
with the intention of intercepting the
artillery on the way from Quito for Cen
eral Arellanos' forces in Tulcan.
Important details of a significant
battle are momentarily expected. The
invading enemy is said to be largely
composed of Columbian contingent.
Tulcan is situated on the Columbian
frontier. It is the capital of Carchi pro-
vince, and is well fortified. Ibarra is

TIRE DIFFERENT
ROUTES SURVEYED
Preliminary Reports Of the Nicaragua
Canal Commission.
ESTIMATE BASED
ON THE LARGER
Senator Morgan Estimates That the
Excavating on the Big Ditch Can
Be Done for s1oo, 900, 900.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Copies of the
preliminary report of the Nicaragua ca
nal commission, of which Admiral
Walker is chairman, have been furnished
Senator Morgan and others interested
in the bill now pending in congress on
that subject.
Three routes are spoken of; namely !:
The old low level, the high level, or
MenocaI route, and the intermediate
route, and all of these, Senator Morgan
says, the commission considers feasible
Of construction.
For the purpose of arriving at an esti-
mate of probable maximum cost, the
commission submitted figures on the
low level route, which the senator says
is considered the longest and most ex-
pensive. For this route Admiral Walk
er estimates the cost will be $124, ,e0O, 900
and Professor Haupt $123, ,OOO, 900, while
General Haines added twenty per cent
to the figures because of various condi-
tions, chiefly the question of the cost of
labor, which he thought it was impossi-
BILE to figure definitely.
The report, says the senator, shows
conclusively that the project is an en-
tirely feasible one, and that in its con-
struction the government has the choice
of any of the three routes.
The senator believes, however, that all
of these figures are high, and expresses
the belief that 500 ,OOO. 900 will cover the
entire cost of construction.

Investigation Needed.

New YORK, Dec. pa dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says:
Admiral Dewey considers it absolutely
necessary that first-class statesman be
sent to Manila to thoroughly investigate
the situation there and ascertain the
aspirations of the PHILIPPINE republicans.
He further states that the United States
must accept their responsibilities in the
Philippines which have been acquired
by conquest. If they should shirk this
duty they would put themselves back
200 years in the worlds history.
The first republican government has
resigned over the question of American
Intervention in the government of the
Philippines. Owners of property desire
American cooperation.
The present temporary cabinet, which
will exercise power pending the cleo
tions, is very anti-American. 1t allows
American cooperation whatever, and
wants tc declare for free republic and
to consider the Americans as allies. 1t
is willing to grant liberal commercial
treaties, with a monopoly of the mines
and railways, and to repay the expenses
of the American occupation of Manila.
Troubles due to malcontents continue
in the provinces of Tarlac and Pangasi-
nian. Republican troops have been
sent there to Quell the disturbance.

MANILA, Dec. 29.-The expedition un-
der General Miller arrived at Iloilo on
Tuesday and found that the Spaniards
had evacuated the place on Saturday.
The steamer Churuca transferred the
Spanish forces to Mindanao.
In accordance with an agreement the
rebels entered the city and trenches on
Monday at noon. They immediately es-
tablished municipal government.
Guards were placed over foreign prop
erty. Everything is quiet and orderly.
There was some looting during the night
but five natives were shot and this had
an exemplary effect. The only foreign
ship in the harbor was the British cruis-
er Irene.
1t is fully expected that General Otis
will demand the evacuation of Iloilo by
the Filipinios, and use the American
army and feet to enforce it.
A new Filipino cabinet has been
formed, the personel of which is as fol-
lows: President of the cabinet and
minister of foreign affairs, Senior Mabin1 !;
minister of war, Senior Luna; minister
of the interior, Senior Araneta; minister
of agriculture and commerce, Senior
Buencamino; minister of foreign works,
Senior Canon.
