A GuardSman' S Trouble.

From the Detroit ClI.chD Journal.
The prOmptness with which the Ma
tional Guard of the different states re
sponded "a President NcKinIey's call
for troops at the beginning OF the war
with Spain made the whole country
proud Of its citizen soldiers. In De
troit there are few guardsmen more
popular and efficient than Max r.
Davies, first sergeant of Co. 3. He has
been resident of Detroit for the past
six years, and his home is at 416 Third
Avenue For four years he was con-
nected with the well known wholesale
drug house of Farrand, Williams *
Clark, in the capacity OF bookkeeper.
Il have charged up many thousand
orders for DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People" said Mr.. Davies, but
never knew their worth until / used
them for the cure of chronic dyspepsia.
For two years 1 suffered and doctored
for that aggravating trouble but could
only be helped temporarily.
Il think dyspepsia is one of the most
stubborn of ailments. and there is
scarcely clerk or office man but what
is more or less victim. Some days
could eat anything, "nlIe at OtneT
times 1 would be starving. Those dis
tressed pains would force me TO quit
work.
Il tried the hot-wateT treatment
thoroughly, but it did not affect my
case. / have tried many advertised
remedies but they would help only for
a time. a friend of mine recommend
ed DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, but l did not think much of
them.
Il finally was induced 10 try the pills
and commenced using them. After
taking a few doses I found much re-
lief. l do not remember how many
boxes of the pills l used, but l used
them until the old trouble stopped.
know they will cure dyspepsia of the
worst form and l am pleased to recon-
mend them
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all dealers, or will sent post paid on
receipt Of price, 80 cents box or six

MIR. M'STOCKER.
The Collector General Viewing
Hawaii Affairs.
(Hilo Tribune.l

Collector General McStocker arrived
in Hilo from the Volcano on Monday.
MIR. McStocker has spent several weeks
at the large plantation in Kona, IN
which he is a large stock&older. He
finds the progress of the plantation
very encouraging. Mr.. McStocker was
much surprised at the general excel
lence of the Olaa plantations, of which
he obtained brief view as he came
through. He had been led to have an
erroneous opinion of this district by
reports of people who never saw it eX-
cept in their dreams. MIR. McStocker
is of the opinion that coffee will be a
brilliant success on both sides OF the
island. This view and the fact that ne
has been strenuous advocate of a new
custom house for Hilo causes him to
be looked upon by the denizens OF our
town with d more kindly eye than is
the average Honoluluite.

Late Changes.

The transformation in the dining
hall of the Queen Hotel is so great

THE Vanderbilt CONSOLIDATION.
FURTHER sTEPs IN THE PLAN OF UNION MAY
BE MADE BEFORE LONG

BE MADE BEFORE LONG.
Chesapeake and Ohio. Big Four" and other
vonde-bO, stocks were marked for their strong
sunnort and healthy tone yesterday. The per-
sistent r,lrnors about changes within the Wander
but system are beginning 10 assume definite shape.
When The Tribune last Thursday exclusively told
of the proposed consolidation OF the New-lork
Central and the Lake Shore. certain persons IN
Wall Street who discredit everything until the or
fetal announcement IL made were inclined TO deny
the report but now the truth Is admitted. Inc
Tribune yesterday told OF a plan being terminated
TO .Tect a consolidation OF the big Four and the
Chesapeake and Ohio. Many were inclined TO deny
this thinking that the consolidation Of two great
roads ike those mentioned. can be effected In
day and that upon the announcement OF such a
plan ar immediate naturalization OF the project Is
necessary TO verify the report Plans OF such mag
nItude as these can only be effected by months
and perhaps years OF careful work. Well-lnfcrmed
railroad men understand the situation thoroughly,
and instead Of denying the story say that such
a thing is to be expected. but that II Will take
long time TO wo1k out such scheme OF union .
or course. IL would be absurd 20 say That with
one sweep the New-York Central and Lake Shore
would he welded into vast system with the BIG
Four. the Chesapeake and Ohio. tho Chicago and
Northwestern, the Union Pacific and other lines.
IL will take time and trouble 10 effect this but
the tendency is that way. Ways and means for
efecting such huge consolidation are being dis
cussed. and attempt is being made 10 see n the
much study 10 tho project and Il vii not surprise
a great many people H. within very few weeks
another phase OF this gigantic consolidation plan
becomes known. The whole aim and theory Of the
cure better traffic arrangements and along this line
