at the head of that great denominational
institution Of education for some three
years. He left the pustorato Of tho Calvary
Methodist Episcopal church, Now York,
to take his present position.
The controversy is concerning the obli-
CATION of Syracuse university to furnish
support to tho widow Of Bishop Peck,
founder of the institution. When Bishop
Peck was still in health, ho decided the
greater part of his ample estate TO Syra-
ouso university, receiving in return q
pledge that the university would never
allow either him or his wife to suffer
want. That was 25 years ago. Since then
Bishop Peck has died and u short time ago
Mrs. Peck followed him to the grave.
During tho last fow years of her life tho
university refused TO contribute to her
support Chancellor Day claiming that the
sum set aside for that purpose had been
exhausted. Before and after Mrs. Peck's
death tho claim has been urged by the
Rev. Mr.. Rockwell, an alumnus of the
university, who mudo his home for several
years with Mrs. Peck and who was her
sole residuary legatee The controversy
has been bitter one and among the devel-
opments has been the filing of a $50, 900
libel suit by Mr.. Rockwell against Chan
cellor Day.
DIR. Day has been in the Methodist min
istry nearly 80 years and is widely known,
having been mentioned several times as u
candidate for bishop. llo was born in
Whitnoyville, Me-, about 52 years ago. He
is man of imposing presence, being 6
feet inches in height and weighing near
ly $50 pounds AS youth he roamed far
afeld in search of adventure and fortune,
but finally returned to the farm on which
he was born. Then the powerful influence
of pious domestic atmosphere asserted
itself and he announced his intention to
enter the ministry. Ho took course Of
study at Kents Hill, Wesleyan seminary
and Bowdoin college, entering the Maine
conference after he had been ordained.

Itor Hanna in securing the seat in the
senate. After that fight, which was
none the less q good one because It
was lost, the lineup in earncs' against
trusts, which has just been made, was
to be expected. II is rather significant,
too, that to find a real trust and Crap
pie with it on its native heath, the
committee felt that it was necessary
to go at once to Cleveland the home
of Rockefeller, Hanna, Everett and
many other well known heads OF mo-
nopolies Perhaps the senate investi-
cation committee has not set its eye
on Senator Hanna and his large coal
and iron interests, but it is significant
in this connection that the committee
is only a senate committee, and not
Joint committee. In the senate the
anti-Hanna element predominates,
while in the house Senator Hanna's
friends are n the majority by a few
votes. 1t is an open secret that II an
attempt had been made to make the
committee q joint one, the friends OF
Senator Hanna would have voted it
down. This is not saying in so many
words that Senator Hanna's friends
are opposed to the trust investigation,
but a nod is as good as a wink to q

The Centennial.
Several cities of the state are now
striving to secure the celebration with
which 1t Is proposed to celebrate the
conclusion OF the first century of the
existence Of the state of Ohio, and 1t
is a question Of much interest when
and by whom this question will be de-
cided. Perhaps the joint resolution
which was adopted by the Seventy
second general assembly, and which
embodies the whole of the action OF
the state looking to this centennial,
that has been so far taken, is the high
est authority that can be quoted 1t
does not seem TO have occurred to the
newspapers of these rival cities to
publish this resolution. Here it is:
Joint resolution-Providing for
centennial commission for an Ohio
centennial celebration in A. D. 1898.
Whereas. There Is a widespread
feeling on the part Of the people of this
state favorable to the proper observ-
ance of the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the admission of Ohio to the
Union; and,
Whereas, The century Just passing
covers period wherein the population
has increased from 45,365, in 1900, to
3,672, ,316, in 1890, and the wealth of the
state as shown by it's assessed taxable
property has multiplied from a COM
paratively small amount in 1900 to
s1,742, 500 900 in 1895, and in these and
many other ways exhibits the marvel
Gus growth, development and civiliza-
tion of the commonwealth;
Resolved, by the general assembly
of the state of Ohio, That there be ap-
pointed by the governor, as soon as
practicable, a commission of seven
suitable persons, residents of this
state, whose duty 1t shall be to formu-
late plans and devise ways and means
for the observance of the centennial
of Ohio in the year 1908, and report the
same to the next general assembly in
writing
Resolved, That said commission
shall act without compensation other
than the actual expenses made neces-
sary by the execution Of It's duties and
object"
This resolution was adopted on Feb.
10, 1896. 1t is evidently the intention
that the present general assembly shall
set the machinery of centennial prep
arations in motion. 1t is not likely
that there will be a session of the leg
islature next year. When the next
legislature meets in 1900 the time re-
naming will not be sufficient to pre-
pare fitting celebration.
While the resolution does not spe-
officially authorize this commission to
recommend where the celebration shall
be held, 1t is quite likely that the
plans, ways and means" 1t recon-
mends will involve both time and
place.
Chairman Dennison has called the
commission to meet here next Tuesday
to consider the matter submitted to 1t.

lTOuDlet.
DR.. wurth. IN commenting on recent dis
coveries in medicine. said: There isnone
which is certain TO be so valuable and far
reaching in beneht as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. the new stomach remedy: I sny
far reaching. because people little realize
how important a sound stomach and Wig
orous digestion Is to every man, woman
and child.
Indigestion Ia the starting point OF con-
sumption, heart disease. BTights disease
diabetes. nervous prostration. liver troub-
les; why is this so7 Simply because every
nerve. muscle and tissue In our bodies Is
created and nourlshed from the food we
eat. II that food is, by reason Of weak
stomach. compelled to lie for hours. n
sour. fermentlng mass OF half dlgested
food. II polsons the blood and nervous
system. creates gas which distends the
stomach and bowels causing pressure on
the heart. lungs and other organs and
seriously impeding their action.
He says further. the point to direct at
tentlon Is not the nerves, nor heart, nor
lungs nor kidneys. but the stomach. the
first cause OF all the mischief
The remedy TO use for indigestion and
weak stomachs is not some cathartic, but
a remedy which will digest the food, In
crease the flow OF gastric Juice, absorb the
gasses, and stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
will accomplish exactly this result In any
case OF stomach trouble, because these
tablets are composed OF the digestive
acids, aseptic pepsln, Golden Seal and
BIsmuth. pleasant to taste, and not being
a patent medicine, can be used by any
one with perfect safety. / believe Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any
form Of indigestion and stomach trouble
except cancer Of stomach.

sla Tablets arc sold by druggists at 90
