WASHINGTON. Jan. &.-An unusually

The committee say they have revised the
vote on the most conservative lines. giving
Aldrich a plurality of so. whereas the
election OF Plowman was claimed by s,s61

could not have been, in some respects.

When il is known that the condition for
such state of facts exists, IL is not
strange that illiterate voters should remain
away from the polls. in the hope that they
would at least not furnish ammunition for
their political opponents. But this has
made little difference TO the Democratic
managers in Dallas county. The maehin-

tomb of Marabout Ben Ali, and are set

is Their Concert Going A-Begging ? Some
Facts Worth Knowing.

Saturday night the subscription list

Tor the chamber concert arranged to be
given in Horticultural Hall, April IA
Cthe Thursday after EASTER by the
kneisel quartet and Rafael Joseffy,
pianist. The list will be kept open a
few days longer, because the required
number of subscriptions has not been

In view of the slowneSS with which the
seats have been taken, it seems desir-
able to mention a few cold facts. Only
Tour concerts by the Kneisel-Joseffy
com bination have been Scheduled, and
these have been allotted to Boston,
Cambridge, Providence and Worcester.
Portland is eager to crowd out Worces-
ter. Each concert costs the manage
ment $500 for artists alone, making a
total expense of $4,000 for artists for the
four concerts. In Boston, Cambridge and
providence the price of ticket Is two
dollars In Worcester it is only one dol
lar. This comparison is sufficient guar
antee of a fact well known to all musi-
cal people, that a dollar is a small price
10 pay for hearing a Kneisel quartet
concert to say nothing of Joseffy, one
of the foremost pianists in the world So
much for the financial side of the ques-
ton.
Experience shows that it is becoming
more difficult every year to succeed with
any first rate musical enterprise in this
city. Springfield, with 54,00 people, does
much better both for theatres and for
music. Providence ought to and does As
a man of experience in such enterprises
told Spy reporter, there are about 200
music patrons in Worcester who can be
relied upon to support a first class con-
cert outside of the festival. These are
all. The two hundred are probably as
discriminating and intelligent an audi
ence as can be found in New England,
but these alone can hardly support a
symphony orchestra concert or Knei-
sci quartet concert. Necessarily they
bring in a few others by their personal
influence; for example, one teacher has
secured 30 subscriptions to the Kneisel-
Joseffy concert, and one in Spencer has
brought in 10. If other musical people
would be similarly energetic. perhaps
the desired quota might be made up.
Those who heard the Ondricek-SchulZ
quartet last week were well paid for
coming down town. especially as most
of them got in free. 1t was a delightful
concert, given at a loss of $100 to the
management. 1t is no credit to the intel
ligence of a city of 105, 900 people to say
that an audience of 500 cannot be gath
cred to hear such an organization as the
Kneisel quartet at one dollar a head.
Must the quartet go to the little city of
Portland Me, to find such an audience?
The concert will be given in Horticul-
tural mot SteinerD Hall.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID IN
CREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look for the Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among
Americans, are certainly increasing
and while this may be largely due to
the excitement and worry of American
business life. it is more often the re-
suit of weak stomachs, Of poor diges-
ton.
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
of the same great nerves, the Sympa-
tnetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also, the heart is
affected 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 posons 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 digestive
elements in a pleasant, convenient
form.
1t 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
in the stomach.
