SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A SIMPLE, HARMLESS REMEDY.
Yet 1t Cures the Worst Cases.of Dyspepsia
and Indirastioa

and Indigestion.
Df. Jennlson, who has made life
study Of stomach troubles, says: All
forms OF Indigestion really amount to
the same thing, that is, failure to COM
pletely digest the food eaten; no mat
ter whether the trouble is acid dys-
pepsia or sour stomach, belching of
wind, nervous dyspepsia or loss of flesh
and appetite; person will not have
any OF them il the stomach can be in
duced by any natural, harmless way to
thoroughly digest what is eaten, and
this can be done by simple remedy
which ! have tested in hundreds OF
aggravated cases with complete sue
cess. The remedy is combination OF
fruit and vegetable essences, pure
aseptic pepsin and golden seal put up
IN the form of pleasant tasting tab
lets and sold by druggists under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
One or two of these tablets should be
taken after meals and allowed to dis
solve in the mouth and mingling with
the food in the stomach, digests it
completely before it has time to fer
ment, decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will di-
gest three thousand grains of meat,
eggs and similar wholesome foods.
1t is safe to say if this wholesome
remedy was better known by people
generally, it would be a national bless
ing, as we are a nation Of dyspepticS
and nine-tenths of all diseases owe
their origin to imperfect digestion and
nutrition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not q
secret patent medicine, but a fifty cent
package will do more real good for q
weak stomach than fifty dollars worth
of patent medicines and person has
the satisfaction of knowing just what
he is putting in his stomach, which he
does not know, when widely adyer-
tised patent medicines are used.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets full sized packages, so cts.

A NEW DUTY IMPOSED.
Commissioners to Determine Amount
of Street Railway Stock Issue.

of Street Railway Stock Issue.
The recent opinion of the attorney for the
District in reply to inquiries relative to
the privileges and requirements Of the re-
Gently acquired charter of the Washing
ton and University Railroad Company,
called attention to feature of that char
ter which is rather novel in legislation OF
this class. In the clause relative to the
issue of stock and bonds the law provides
that the total issue of said bonds and
stocks shall not in the aggregate exceed
the amount necessary for the cost of con-
struction and equipment of It's railway and
buildings, and before any bonds or stock
shall be issued the amount thereof shall
be ascertained and fixed by the Com
missioners of the District of Columbia; and
for this purpose said Commissioners are
hereby authorized to subpoena and examine
witnesses and take such testimony as may
be necessary to enable them to make such
determination and fix the amount of the
issue"
A similar clause is inserted in the bill
passed at the last session of Congress
which gives the Columbia Railroad Com
pany the right to build an eastern extern
sion of the line. Although charter was
granted to the East Washington Heights
Railway Company, and practically new
charters to the Belt and the lexington
roads, the same session of Congress when
the bills above referred to became laws
yet no provision of this character was in.
serted The evident purpose is fo preyent

as it is an entirely new device, in this To-
eahty at least, the practical operation will
be watched with considerable interest.

%EoHGEiOWN's NEW HOSPITAL,
opened This Morning for the Trent
ment of All Diseases

The new Georgetown University Hospital
opened its doors to the public this morning.
and Is now in condition to receive patients
for the treatment of all kinds of diseases.
The opening was very quiet and not attend
ed by any ceremony. The building was not
thrown open for the inspection of the pub
lie. Instead, notices were sent through tn ,
mails to about 400 local physicians. an
rouncing the fact that on and after TODAY
the hospital would be ready to receive all
classes OF patients and treat them with the
best modern methods.
The emergency ward of the place while
ready for all cases that may be brought is
not as fully equipped as it will be later in
the season. Additional implements for uss
in the room have been ordered and larger

is expected that this will be inside OF the
present week, the hospital will have the
most modern surgical instruments avail
able. This room promises to be feature of
the new hospital, ss!t cases of emergency
will be brought from Georgetown and yicin-
ity. This does away with the long distance
to be traversed to thet En- ergercy Hospital.

COST OF WAR DISPATCHES.
What the Newspapers Pay to Get Re
uorts From the Front.

From the Philadelphia Times
The average newspaper reader glances In
: casual way at the statement that the re-
MORT of the overthrow of Spanish arms
comes by means of the dispatch boat So
and-so; he Skins through statement
which explains that the news was OBTAIN
ed by a man who risked his life TO get lt
he notes in perfunctory manner the eX-
nIanat;on that the dispatch was delayed d
little in transmission, little dreaming that
the delay was caused by the inability of the
writer to get it in quicker time over eight
miles of mountain and swamp, ana gives
the matter no more thought.
1t is only those who sit in the executive
cffices OF the great newspapers and news
gathering associations who know what a
ghastly thing from financial standpoint
is this business of reporting nineteenth
century war, the seat of which is on an is
land d goodly distance from the mainland.
In conyersing with the writer on this sub
jeet, Melville E. Stone, general manager Of
the Associated Press, said:
..It requires a fleet of four dispatch boats
in order that the papers that are members
of this association may get the stories OF
battle and bombardment The boats tnat
we have in active service are the Wanda,
the Dauntless, the Dandy and the Cynthia
IL. Coal, of course, Is the great expense,
especially in a region where steamboat fuel
is almost as expensive as the neceSSarfes OF
life. Each of our boats when going full
swing on dispatch work will burn from six
| to ten tons of coal day. Coal that we can
purchase here for $40 ton cannot be
bought in the section where the fighting is
| in progress fer less than from $6 to 50 a
ton, and even at these figures the quality
! is very inferior, and all kinds of rubbish
| that is not coal is mixed with It. No mat
ter what the cost, we must buy the coal,
| for no coal. motive power for our
steamers. and had the wheels for our news
paper boats ceased to revo1ve there would
Eave been a sad dearth of news regarding
the doings OF our warships and troops
Apart, however, from the coal expense,
| the average cost of running this fleet OF
| boats is about 5000 per month. To be
added to all this expense is the salary of
