HALL GAME LIKES TO POSE.
The Authors GrOtesQue Apparel
Stamps Him a Member of Bob mia.
New York Journal


That Hall Game, the novelist is not free
from the petty vanitieS that human flesh is
heir to is shown by the fact that he is not
above attracting attention by oddities of
costume and hair dreSSing-or rather, lack
of hair dressing. AS red always photo
graphs black none of the portraits hereto
fore published give a correct idea of the
Manxman's appearance, for he is invariably
black. The fact is the author has a heavy
growth of fiery red whiskers and hair a
shade or two darker, which is worn in a l.
m-a-talented- Bohemian style-long and
unkempt But it is in the character of
his wearing apparel that the novelist be-
trays the fact that lie is not averse to at
tracing attention on the street. When a
snap shot was secured Mr.. Game was hurry
ing down Broadway with the swinging
stride that seemed TO constitute the only
evidence of the Britisher in his appearance
Drawn firmly down over his head to where
the tops of his ears were hidden by his
curly hair, was an old-time Stovepipe hat,
with a wide. straight brim. 1t had evidently
been constructed by hat maker who had
been told to build hat unlike anything
ever seen before" The tile bears some re-
semblance to the ancient relics sometimes
worn by darny cab drivers in Southern
cities, but is story or two higher and a
a frock coat reaching below the knees and
a pair of impressed trousers completed the
odd makeup. As the rough sketch above
shows. the combination is one that would
attract attention on the most cosmopolitan
thoroughfare in the universe, and of course
Broadway pedestrians as the street gaminS
would say, didn't fail to "rubherneck.'

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow It's
Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in its place and
indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking
and washing purposes, but 1t was never in
tended for a medicine. and people who use
it as such will some day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, habit
which thousands of people practice almost
daily, and one which is fraught with danger;
moreover the soda only gives temporary re-
lief, and in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as mechanical irritant 10
the walls of the stomach and bowels. and
cases are on record where it accumulated in
the intestines, causing death by inflamma-
ton or peritonitis.
DIR. Harlandson recommends as the safest
and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dys-
pepsia) an excellent preparation sold by
druggists under the name of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. These tablets are large. 90
grain lozengers very pleasant TO taste and
contain the natural acids, peptones and d.
gestive elements essential to good digestion,
and when taken after meals they digest the
food perfectly and promptly before II has
time to ferment, sour and poison the blood
and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably uses
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases OF
stomach arrangements and f1nds them GER
tain cure not only for sour stomach, but by
promptly digesting the food they create q
healthy appetite. increase flesh and
strengthen the action of the heart and liver.
They are not cathartic, but intended only
for stomach diseases and weakness. and Will
be found reliable in any stomach trouble ex-
cept cancer of the stomach.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's at soc per package.
A little book describing all forms OF
stomach weakness and their cure mailed

ColoneI Hav,s succcssor.

NEW YORK. Sept. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: president
Mckinley is considering the recommends
ton of prominent public men of Massachu-
sets that Governor Wolcott be appointed
ambassador to Great Britain. The name of
Henry Adams, a warm friend of Colonel
Hay, is also mentioned in this connection.
Mr. Adams is we'll known as a historian
and writer. While he has had no diplomatic
experience it is recalled that his father.
Charles Francis Adams, was minister to
Great Britain during the rebellion; his
grandfather, John Quincy Adams, held the
same position just before the war of 1872,
and his great-grandfather, John Adams,
was accredited to the British government
as minister Immediately after the revolu-
ton Mr.. Adams is a highly educated gen.
tleman, ready speaker and would, his
friends believe, credtably represent this
government at the Court of St. James.
Representative Hits name is only men
toned I'm circles outside of the White House
and it is generally conceded that he stands
no chance for the appointment.

Only Partly Successful.

Only Partly Successful.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The mission of
Colonel Bryan, commanding the Third Ne
braska Infantry, to Washington for the dis
charge of a number of enlisted men of that
regiment who desire to leave the military
service and return to their homes, has so
far been only partially successful. There
have been seventy-five of these applications
received at the War Department They all
came through the regular channels. While
all of them were approved by the regimental
officers including the colonel commanding,
the majority of them were disapproved by
either the brigade. division or corps COM
mander. So far but fifteen of the applica-
tons have been favorabiy acted upon and
the discharge of the men ordered. In these
cases the applicants are married men with
families dependent upon them, and their
applications were regularly approved by all
the reviewing authorities including Gen.
FitZhugh Lee commanding the Seventh
Army Corps, to which the Third Nebraska
is attached There still sixty cases UNI
acted upon by the department.
Colonel William j. Bryan, of the Third
Nebraska, is still confined to his bed at the
home of his friend. G. T. Bride, 13l B street,

TUESDAYS CABINET MEETING.
The Army Investigation and AgOnciI

The Army Investigation and AgOncil-
los Coming Visit Discussed.
WASHINGTON, Sept H.-There were no
questions of special Importance before the
Cabinet meeting to-day. The work of the
war investigation commission was infor-
mally discussed, all of the members heartily
approving the Presidents address to the
commissioners last Saturday, in which he
charged them with the duty of making the
inquiry searching and exhaustive and pledg-
ing them his assistance in procuring evil
dence from all official sources. The ap-
preaching arrival here of Agoncillo, the rep
resentative of the Philippine insurgent
leader Aguinaldo, was alluded to, the Presi-
dent stating that he would gladly bear what
he had to say, but under no circumstances
could he receive him in any official capacity
If he was granted an interview with the
President it would be only as private
citizen of the Philippines. Nothing of a
disquieting character has recently been re-
ceived from any quarter. The evacuation
of Cuba no doubt will be begun about Oct.
Is, and be concluded by Jan. l. This is
Understood to be the substance of the Pres
idents instructions to our Cuban commits
sioners. A large share of the meeting was
consumed in a discussion of the forthcom-
ing departmental reports, which the Presi-
dent urged should be in his possession at
as early date as possible.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sept. 27.-Consid-
cradle comment has been created by the
action of a representative meeting of sugar
planters called for the puspose of supporting
the recent Barbados conference The
meeting converted the proposed resolutions
into strongly-worded memorial to Queen
Victoria. in which those present disclaimed
the attitude OF being pauper applicants who
were willing to accept illusory schemes. but
claimed their rights as subjects who were
the victims of unfair foreign competition
and protested against being sacrificed to
political fads. Continuing, the memorial ex-
pressed surprise lat the governments cal
lous treatment OF previous efforts made to
secure justice" and urged the necessity for
the adoption of prompt and effective meas
ures TO form countervailing duties The me-
mortal concluded with an expression of Ja-
maica's unchanged loyalty lin spite of its
sore trials through the continued, unfeeling
neglect of those just, constitutional rights to
which all are entitled under her Majesty's
government.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept 27.-The sudden re-
vival of free-silver agitation in the East
and the fights for recognition which are now
being carried on by the leaders of the sill
verite wing of the Democratic party can
be traced directly to Col. William Jennings
Bryan. He has sounded the alarm and
forced the national managers to be up and
doing. If the Democrats should win con-
troll of Congress this fall Bryan is deter
mined that free silver shall have the benefit
of the victory. He is bound that the presi-
Dental fight of 1900 shall be a repetition OF
that Of 1886, and his influence is being ex-
erted to its fullest extent to bring about
that condition of affairs. He came on to
Washington to spur the national committee
to aggressive action and has succeeded in
his mission. The activity among Eastern
Democrats for the white metal is the re-
suit of an organized campaign of very re-
cent origin and is being carried under
the auspices and direction of the national
committee, with headquarters in Washing
ton.
Discussing the new campaign phase to-day
distinguished Republican congressman
from a Western State said
IF the Democrats and Populists gain con-
troll of the House it will mean a repetition
of the battle of the standards which wa
fought with such desperation two years ago
There will be no escape from the calamity
If the sound-money voters turn out they
will hold their own, but 1 regret to say they
are showing signs of Indifference. If they
do not take enough interest to go to the
polls and save the ground they have al
ready gained they deserve to lose, and they
will deserve all the misfortunes which will
follow When people get too prosperous and
contented to exert themselves for their own
protection they are deserving of no sym
pathy from the sufferings of the lash.

General Lees ability as a commander could
