edness incurred in building the new grandstand

is so common many people neglect tax

Il matter of fact. Indigestion lays the
foundation for many inCUrable diseases.
No person with a vigorous. healthy
stomach will fall a victim to cOnsump-

troubles date their beginning from poor
digestion; thin. nervous people are really
so because their stomachs are out of
gear: weary, languid, faded out woman
owe their condition to imperfect diges-
ton.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflicted with weak digestion ii is not
surprising that nearly every secret pat
ent medicine on the market claims to ne

of other troubles when in fact, as DR..

Love was about to drop another child from the

The flames spread from the rear Of the market

LEAGUE CHAMPIONS EN- ROUTE
Manager Seiee Thinks Well of
Washington's Chances

New York, March 2O-Manager Frank
G. Selee and players Bergen, Tenney,
Duffy, Hamilton, Klobedanz, Collins
Mills, Bransfield, and Bemis, of the Bos-
ton Baseball Club passed through here
today on their way to Greensboro N
c., where the League Champions will
get into fighting trim. Selee said that
Stiyetts. Willis, Keister. Pittinger, Hick-
man, Stahl, and Yeager had been mott

OILS, the champions star pitcher, will
come up from New Orleans, and Her
man Long will journey East from Hot

of the pitchers, are already in the South.
As soon as the Bostons have thawed
out bit, they will begin a series of ex-
hibition games at Greensboro, the first
one to be with Augusta on March "a.
Manager Selee. who is averse to claim
ing pennants until they have been won,
expressed the hope that his players
would be able TO finish near the top
again tins year.
Baseball is very uncertain" he said,
ana NOBODY mas ClnGl on the CnaUl-
pionship at this time of the year. We
won it last season by hard. clean ball
playing, and we are going to try and
land ii again by the same methods The
rules prohibiting rowdyism suit me to
a nicely. | have always been in favor of
some such legislation. The umpires are
the ones to look 10 now for an enforce
ment Of the rules. They have the power
and also the support of the club-owners,
as well as that of the respectable pat
rons and players. All they have to do
is to punish the rowdies without a mo-
ment's hesitation, and there viii be no
trouble.
THE championship this year is a puz-
zling question. AS l said, baseball is
full of uncertainty, and no one can tell
what may happen. On paper and form 1t
seems to me that Baltimore, Cincinnati
New York and Boston ought to finish up
near the top, but there are some dark
horses. Chicago under Burns's man
agement, should be higher up than last
year, also Washington, if Doyle plays
his game. The Baltimores are fully as
strong as a year ago, in my opinion, and
I believe that McJames will come very
near being Hanlon's winning pitcher"

Mr.. GIadstonc's Peculiar Ideas.

One of Mr.. Gladstone's peculiar ideas
which he has followed for fifteen years is
to go to bed the instant he finds he has
caught cold, and remain there until the
indispOsitiOn has passed. In this way he
believes he has frequently cut short what
might have been a serious illness He

The President Not at Church.

The President did not go to church yes
terday but instead devoted the morning
to a conference with Secretary Long. Sec
rotary Bliss and Assistant Secretary Day.
1t is understood that the Cuban situation
was the subject conferred about. and that
the early disposition of the Maine report
formed a part of the discussion.
After the conference the President and
Mrs. Mckinley took a long drive. and in
the evening entertained at dinner Score
tary and Mrs. Alger, Secretary and Mrs.
Bliss, Assistant Secretary and Mrs. Day,
Gen. and Mrs Grosvenor. After the ladies
had retired from the table Attorney Cen
eral Griggs joined the party. and the real
object of the social dinner affair became
apparent, Tor an important discussion of
the Cuban situation took place.
There is reason for believing that the
urgency of immediate intervention in Gu
ban affairs was talked over earnestly and
logically, and that there was a unanimfty
of feeling that something must be done
at once. although Gen. GrOsvenor insisted
that the Administration should go as far
as possible to effect a peaceabIe solution
of the difficulty. 1t was also shown and
admitted to be a fact, one which the
President, has long known, that nothing
but war Will satisfy vast majority of the
people of this country. Mr.. Mckinley has
long recognized this fact, but it has been
his desire TO force Spain to make the dec
laration of war, and at the conference last
night the best plan to pursue in this re-
spect was considered, although it is
known that the President has determined
fully upon plan of action, and one that
met the approval of his guests last night.
1t IS to leave the decisive action TO Con
sress, and 10 hold that body responsible
TO the country if war is declared by il.
Inc character of the message the Presi-
dent viii send to Congress with the Maine
report was one OF the subjects talked
about, and while its character was not
othcially made known, there is little
doubt but that the message will be brief
ana so worded that the first step toward
intervention must be taken by Congress
and not the President.
II the Maine report reaches the White
Rouse today or tomorrow it is believed
that 1t will at a very early date be sent no
Congress.

Mr.. Finney performed this arduous
task with cOmmendabie ability, and Sec
rotary Long escaped a cross-examination
by the correspondents.
However. it was the general impress
sion last night that the important de-
cision OF this Court of Inquiry is on it's
