the vast advantage of the pupils and
greatly to the instructors own bene-
fit in the matter of ease of accomplish
ing his or her routine work. In many
OF the schools Of the city it is already
the custom to have certain hours ev-
cry week devoted to such exercises as
this, and 1t has been found that the
pupils take hold of the idea with graf
| flying avidity.
1t is the object of the Art League
to encourage this idea as best it may
by furnishing to the schools the works
of art that are the Indispensable &C.
compartment Of such work 1t Is hoped
In time that there may be a room
given up in each school building to an
exhibit OF pictures, casts and pottery
that will greatly aid this work. Aside
from the educational advantage of the
idea, every one is realizing nowadays
that bright and CHEEKY school rooms
are necessity, and their beauty can
In no way be so much enhanced as by
having on the walls pictures that are
delight and an inspiration to the
children who look upon them.
The present art exhibit is an excel
lent opportunity for pupils and teach
eTs and citizens to get an idea of the
possibilities Of this kind Of decoration
In addition to the reproductions that
were previously mentioned in The Spy
there have been added to the collection
this week a number of reprints of the
first sketches from which some of the
great pictures have been developed
and these form an interesting addition
as showing the first flash of inspiration
that genius uses from which to mature
its greatest productions.
The exhibition will be kept open I'M
til next Wednesday night by special
arrangement, instead Of closing last
night, as was at first advertised This
attendance has been very gratifying

airs as we'll as parents have visited the

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA,
no Gain Flesh, to Sleep Wen, to Know
What Appetite and Good Diges-
ttOn Mean. Make u Test OF
stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an IndtAn-
apOIis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more
misundcrstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having It think that their nerves
are to blame, are surprised that they are
not cured by nerve medicines and spring
remedies; the real seat of mischief is
lost sight of; the stomach is the origin
to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach. nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregu-
lar in others the kidneys are affected;
in others the bowels are constipated, with
headaches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite with the ac-
cumulation Of gas, sour risings and heart
burn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper of No. 81 Prospect
St, Indianapolis Ind, writes as follows;
"A motive Of pure gratitude prompts me
to write these few lines regarding the new
and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets. | have been a sufferer from
nervous dyspepsia for the last four years;
have used various patent medicines and
other remedies without any favorable re-
suit. They sometimes gave temporary
relief until the effects of the medicine
wore off I attributed this to my Sc
dentary habits, being a bookkeeper, with
little physical exercise, but am glad to
state that the tablets have overcome all
these obstacles, for I have gained In
flesh, sleep better and am better in every
way The above is written not for no
torlety, but Is based on actual facts
Respectfully yours, A. w. Sharper,
ISL Prospect St, Indianapolis, Ind"
1t is safe to say that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any stomach weakness
or disease except cancer of the stomach.
They cure sour stomach, gas. loss of fieeh
and appetite, sleeplessness, palpttation,
heartburn, constipation and headaches.

THE DURATION OF THE WAR,

The question Of the probable dura-
ton OF the war with Spain is a prob
lem that puzzles many profound STRAIT
egists, not only in the newspapers but
In saloons and other public resorts
where men congregate to devise ways
and means of licking the Spaniards.
There have been two utterances lately
by eminent citizens which serve to
show how wide is the divergence Of
opinion on this point.
General Stewart L. Woodford Is re-
ported as having said recently that in
his opinion the war would be so long
protracted as to afford ample oppor
unity for ambitious young soldiers to
achieve distinction. He based his opin-
ion on his observation OF the pride and
patriotism Of the Spanish people, which
in his opinion will not permit them to
acknowledge defeat until they are beat
en- down to the ground. On the other
hand, Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has ex-
pressed the opinion that the conflict is
not worth Identifying with the name Of
war, ana that it will end in the COM
plete triumph Of the United States
within a few weeks.
Woodford comes nearer knowing
what he is talking about than Carnegie
who only a week ago refused to equip
a Scotch regiment Of Chicago with
bag-pipes and bonnets, with plaid
hose, mohlach, sporan and philabeg.
Andrew is canny and never wastes
good money he has made off America
Being close-fsted, he told the patriotic
Scotch Of Chicago that the whole thing
would end before the uniforms could
be made. General Woodford's knowl-
edge Of war and his knowledge of the
resources and pluck of Spain, gathered
while minister to that country, entities
his opinions to respect.

IT THREATENS INDEED.

The indications could hardly be
stronger that Germany, at the risk Of
war, will attempt to take a hand in
the disposal Of the Philippines. The
emperor and his ministers protest that
the presence of German war vessels in
the Bay of Manila only means pro-
lection of the German interests there.
What these interests are does not ap-
pear, outside Of the chance Of acquisi-
ton. There are now FIVE German war
ships in the Bay of Manila and some
four or FIVE thousand German marines.
Such a demonstration is neither
peaceful or friendly one, whatever the
German government may protest
Back Of these ships and men is an I'M
derstanding between two or three Of
the continental powers of Europe. The
Philippines were a Spanish possession,
taken by the United States in war; and
any interference upon the part Of any
other power means war. means repu-
diation of neutrality, means an alliance.
Any attempt, therefore, of Germany
to land her marines on the soil of Lu-
ION should be opposed by Dewey with
force even to the sinking of the Ger
man vessels, for the landing of Ger
man troops in Manila under the cir
cumstances is just as much an overt
act of war as the shooting Of guns.
No other nation is rushing their war
ships into Manila. Great Britain has
a large fleet at Hong Kong, but six
hundred miles away. The German man
euver is therefore an open menace and
it should be accepted and treated as
such The first gun fired between the
United States and Germany in Manila
bay means European, if not a unlver-
sal war. in which the continental pow
ers and Great Britain will align them
selves. 1t will be Germany. Spain and
Austria certainly against this country,
with little doubt that France and Italy
will lean to the Spanish side, if not
actively. Russia's interests are in the
east and may be counted on for such
an alliance, leaving Great Britain and
America pitted against all the other
so-called first class powers. leaving
the century to go out, as has SO often
been predicted, In universal carnage
whose end is to change the maps Of
both the old and the new worlds. If
such a war does not soon, ensue it will
not be Fr1DarOr Williams fault whose
every and only instinct is for war.
