LEITER TuRNs To MECHANics

Chicago, November 1.-Joseph Letter, who Las written an article in the Cosmopolitan on Wheat and Its Distribution" Is quoted in today's Times-Herald with regard to the report of his purchase of the large locomo- tive plant at Providence, R. l., as follows:
 "Yes, am in the deal and 1t is going through. We will manufacture locomotives and other specialties.'
 The locomotive plant at Providence of which Mir. Letters corporation has obtained control Is capable of developing an immense capacity, and from statements which -.-r. Letter has made 1t is apparent operations are to be on an extensive scale.
 The works are located on the Woonsqua- ticket river, near the city, and formerly employed 1000 men. Room for larger number Of skilled mechanics and special force for the electrical department which is destined to form a big part of the new undertaking, is to be provided.
 The Providence plant was sold by auction fast spring and has been idle for some time. The Hospital Trust company of Providence was the holder of several mortgages on the plant, and 1t Is understood that company made a very reasonable offer to the new organization.

URoKEn LETTING BIG MONEY

New York Correspondence of Louisville
 Courier-Journal.
 This money was still untaken at this evening. Croker has already wagered about $10O,OO0 on the result, taking the Van Wyck end
 In 1892 Croker won on Cleveland $1S7 300, and last year he won on the mayoralty con- test about sI5o,000. I understand he pro- poses to wager quarter of a million dol lars on the election of Van Wyck. I met ex-Senator Eustis, formerly of Louisiana who was ambassador to France under Cleveland's last administration, on Broad way today. Mr. Eustis now resides in New York and is a member of Tammany Hall and takes a deep interest in its fortunes l asked him what he knew, and he answer ed by asking me what I knew.
 Well, nothing absolutely certain said l, "only the tide seems to be with the dem- ocrats. Don't you think so?"
 "Yes; unmistakably; but do you know for certain that Croker has put out his money to bet on Van Wyck yet?'
 "Yes; for sure."
 ''Get it straight"
 "Yes; why?"
 For this reason: Croker knows what New York city will do. It is remarkable but I never knew him to make a mistake especially when he bets his money. Now, if you know that Croker is betting on Van Wyck, rest assured that it is his own money that he is betting, and it is the best information you can get on the situation"

THE BIRMINGHAM LYCEUM.

Those desirous of subscribing to the full course can do so now and obtain the bene- fit of nearly all numbers, as only two lec- lures have been given.
 Zangwill
 The coming of Zangwill, under the aus p.ces of the Birmingham Lyceum, has ex- cited more than passing interest among the literary inclined in our community. In the east, where he has lectured since his arrival in this country, the papers have takn him up and he has excited more com- ment than any other visitor to our shores since Dickens. Hardly a magazine is praise cannot be bestowed on the Birming- ham Lyceum for their efforts in securing him. Few cities of the south will be favored. Tickets can be secured from MT. H. K. White, secretary. or from Bert Jacobs, 2011 First avenue. And as only a limited number will be sold, early applica- ton should be made to secure them. Re- member the date, Tuesday. November 8.
 Read what Ainslee's Magazine says of Zangwill:
 "If Israel Zangwill had not come to this country with a reputation as humorist he would have achieved one by the re- marks he has made in public since his arrival. Several of these have been widely quoted and they all show extraordinary readiness of mind. They could not have been prepared, for they were called out by other speakers. and they all have the marks of spontanety. Those who have met MT. Zangwill say that he is just as humorous in conversation as he is wher speaking before an audience. and that hi' wit is delightfully."- unforced. Few Eng | fish authors who have come here in re cent years have made so fine an impress | sion. MT. Zangwilfs visit will start man. neonle to reading his books. They woult | do well to read all of his Ghetto stories, al well as his novel, 'The Master" whicf was highly praised on its appearance l about three years ago."

TWO Hundred Per Acre

From the Guntersville Democrat
 Masters Dean and Jamie Gaines of Soli- tude are gathering a patch of Virginia White. peanuts. which are yielding at the rate of two hundred bushels per acre. Two vines were pulled and brought to this office which held about quart each. The "vir- ginia White" sells at an average price of one dollar per bushel. Two hundred dol- lars from an acre of land Is certainly better than ten or fifteen dollars from an acre of cotton. It takes less work to raise pea nuts than cotton. Marshalrs plateau soil

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
 TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For the
 Cause.

Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For the
 Cause.
 Heart troubles, at least among Ameri- cans, are certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of American business life, 1t is more often the result of weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
 Real. organic heart disease is incurable; but not one case in hundred of heart trouble is organic.
 The close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion is because both or gans are controlled by branches of the same great nerves the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
 In another way, also the heart is affected by that form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half di- gested food; there Is feeling of oppres- sion and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs interfering with their &C., tion; hence arises palpitation and short breath.
 Poor digestion also polsons the blood, makes 1t thin and watery which irritates 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 ef- fective digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores and which contain val uable, harmless digestive elements in a pleasant, convenient form. It is safe to say that the regular, per- s,stent use of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stom- ach trouble except cancer of the stomach.
