A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Somethin. About tine New Discovery for
 Curing Dyspepsia.

The Rev. r. I. Bell, a highly esteemed minister residing in Weedsport, Cayuga county, N. r., in recent letter writes as follows: "There has never been anything that have taken that has relieved the Dyspepsia from which I have suffered for ten years except the new remedy called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Since taking them I have had no distress at all after eating, and again after long years can sleep well. Rev. F. I. Bell, Weedsport, N T., formerly Idalia, Colo"
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is remark able remedy, not only because it is a cer- tain cure for all forms of indigestion, but because it seems to act as thoroughly in old chronic cases of dyspepsia as well as in mild attacks of indigestion or biliousness. A person has dyspepsia simply because the stomach is overworked. All it wants is a harmless vegetable remedy to digest the food and thus give it the much needed rest
 This is the secret of the success of this peculiar remedy. No matter how weak or how much disordered the digestion may be-, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not New life and energy is given not only to the stomach, but to every organ and nerve in the body. A trial of this splendid medi- cine will convince the most skeptical that Dyspepsia and all stomach troubles can be cured. The tablets are prepared by the F. A. Stuart Company of Marshall, Mich., but so popular has the remedy become that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can now be ob- tained at any drug store at 50 cents per package.

Grand total... ...SSo,off io
 Rev. Father Leman of Emmettsburg, su- perior of the order, who is in the city in the interest of the hospital, was called upon and made a short talk, in which he ex- pressed the appreciation of the sisters for the hand of friendship which had been ex- tended to them by the citizens of Birming- ham and for the handsome subscriptions which had been raised in behalf of the movement.
 He statetd that it had been decided to give the institution the name of St. Vim cent hospital and that as soon as Walter & Co.,, the architects, completed the. plans, bids would be asked for the construction of the first building, which will cost about s6O,oOO. This building will front 152 feet on Kirkland avenue and will be five stories high.
 The lot on which the hospital will be built is 330x660 feet, and the building will be located about 200 feet back from the ave- nue, and will present a most imposing ap- pearance.
 Other buildings will be added from time to time the entire hospital when complete costing about $2OO 900. Father Leman stated that he saw no reason why the building would not be ready for occupancy by Oc- tober 1, 1Ss9
 Father Roberts, of West Hoboken, N. J who lectured at the opera house on Wednesday evening, responded to a call and applauded the efforts of the people of Birmingham to bring the Sisters of Charity into their midst. He thought that the sis ters had acted wisely in naming the hos pital St. Vincent after St. Vincent de Paul, who he said was one of the modern saints; a man whose zeal and self-sacriflce and love for the poor. the down-trodden, the sick and the suffering marked him one of the greatest dispensers of charity the world had ever seen.
 MT. McCrossin who has charge of the work at the temporary hospital announced that the building would be practically com pleted today and would be ready to turn over to the sisters by Saturday. He ex- tended an invitation to the physicians of the city to inspect it.
 The temporary hospital will be in charge of Sister Benedicta, from Emmettsburg, who will be assisted by four or five sisters who will arrive in few days.

GERS and Crew.

Yesterday was one of anxious waiting
to countless number of the citizens of
Portland for since it was known that the
in the teeth of the recent storm the deep
est solicitude as to her safety has very
naturally been felt.
There was scarcely moment yesterday
but that some friend of those known to
be ON board was at the office of the com
pany seeking information and an employe
was kept busy answering the inquiries
which came over the telephone wire for
the reports had been very misleading. In
Mondays morning papers had appeared
telegram stating that the steamboat was
at her dock in Boston, and yesterday
morning bulletin was received to the
effect that she had arrived safely at
Gloucester in time to escape the storm.
This was soon followed, however, by an
Associated Press despatch stating that
the management of this Portland Steam
ship company, in Boston, innounced at
noon that they had no information OF the
whereabouts of the Portland.
Nothing has occurred to change the last
report up to the hour of going to press,
and Mt late hour this morning groups of
people could be seen on the wharf anxious
ly awaiting news from the belated steam
er. Not alone friends Of passengers but
many seafarers were in evidence and
among the latter was an old fireman who
has seen veteran service on the Boston
line of steamers who being asked to say
something as to the safety of the boat ex-
pressed himself this way: .'It Is known
that the steamer left Boston at seven
o'clock and by nine o'clock she should

most certain that when the storm struck

If any trains had come in from Province

trains had come in from the Cape to Bos-
ton during the day.
If it should be found out that the
steamer had not turned back and had not
made harbor at Provincetown, it is
more than likely that she went off shore

soon after his return to the city his at
tenton was invited to the following de-
spatch sent from Boston by the Associ-
ated Press dated November ss:
The managers of the Boston and Port
land Steamship company stated tonight
that there are grave doubts as to the safe
ty of the steamer Portland which sailed
from here Saturday night
Every harbor between here and Port
land on the north shore has bean heard
from and one on the south shore and in
no case has the steamer been seen. The
only remaining harbor which she could
have reached is Provincetown on Cape
Cod, and news from that port is anxious
ly awaited as it is still impossible to
reach that place by wire. She carried 60
passengers.
Mr.. Liscomb then made the following
statement:
ST have had no interview with any
reporter to my knowledge and certainly
did not express apy grave fears to any
one. As soon as Sunday morning came
