A St, Louis Box Party.
CFrom the Republic }

There was a strange box party at the
Olympic Theater last night 1t was par
" such as the OlympitSseldom sees. The
strangeness lay not in the people who
occupied 1.-TWO men and three women
but in the refreshments with which they
rogaled themselves during the perform
ance They began TO feed upon peanuts
which are conceded everywhere to be
gallery-god feast. The people in the par
quet at the continuous are stopped
from crunching peanuts between their fin
gers. should they so far forget themselves
as to bring in a bag of the delicaCy.
When the occupants of the first stage
box had devoured the nuts they pulled out
oranges, with which they were plentifully
supplied, and began to suck the juice
from the luscious fruit before they de-
voured the meat. The combination OF
peanuts and oranges had stirred up
thirst among them and they kept the
ushers running in double file fetching
trays full of crystal water. Even that did
not satisfy them. and when their thirst
got beyond the control of water they sent
for the head usher and ordered bottled
beer
The demand raised a storm in the ush-
er's breast, and he replied rather sarcas-
ticaIly that the Olympic was not a Win
ter garden where drinks We're served pro-
miScuously. The box party was all broke
up over the arraignment of its manners,
which the head usher's Jemark implied,
and said that they would, of course. do
without it if they must. They came from
the Klondike, they said. where every
thing was permitted to him who had
money to pay for it. Then they went
back to munching peanuts, and before the
play was out they had divided at least
a gallon more of water between them. 1t

STOCKS FALL HEAVILY
Prospects of War With Spain Cause
Many Declines.
Sugar Opens Up Four and One-eighth
Per Cent Off-TObacco Loses
Six Points.

New York, March 1.-The stock market
morning and amid a scene of indescriba-
bic confusion and excitement.
Brokers rushed wildly hither and
thi;her trying to sell the stocks of their
customers to the best possible advantage,
but they found little market in the first
few minutes of business. Prices fell with
alarming rapldity, the declines extending
from l-2 to Is per cent.
The heaviest losses were in the interna-
tionally listed stocks, the Trusts and
Manhattan. Tobacco opened off nearly
six point, Sugar Is per cent, st. Paul
and New York Central over 3 and the
same in anhattan. Declines of from
to per cent We're common.
AS was the case in the big decline of a
week ago, certain prominent interests
came to the support of the market and
the good buying that followed caused a
reaction of from 1-2 to per cent. The
market steadied itself somewhat. but the
feeling is unsettled and nervous and fur
ther declines are looked for.
The cause Of all the excitement was the
new phase of the Cuban situation which
developed yesterday. The bears, it was
generally expected before the opening.
would take advantage OF this with ven
geance.
London securities came lower because
of the new complications in the East and
this proved Of great assistance to the
bears in their onslaught

More Abuse of the President.

(From the Boston Herald)
A correspondent has sent me true
story of a Somerville cat, which seems
another case of "cat intelligence worth
repeating, and proves to me, at least.
that some felines have a keen sense of
right and wrong. This particular cat,
which reioices in the name of William
Mckinley, is addicted to theft. One day,
recently. he was discovered in the act of
taking a piece of meat that had been
left on the kitchen table. Promptly seiz-
ing a little switch. which was kept for
the purpose of his correction at such
unguarded moments, Mckinley was
chased from the table without cere-
mony But it was not long before this
intelligent cat returned from his hiding
in another room. and cautiously crept
upon the table where, taking the switch
in his mouth he carried it. with some
difficulty, but in triumph, to the floor,
and there deposited it behind the door.
The real source of danger being thus re-
moved. Mckinley sat down and bided
his time, but. unhappily for him, it
never came as the object of his clever
ness was removed to a place of safety.
Now, If cat ever reasoned, this name
sake of the President is the puss, and
his very limitations in cunning only
make his thieving propensities the more
interesting. and assuredly the more par
donable, from the moral point of view.

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A SIMPLE, HARMLESS REMEDY
Yet 1t Cures the Worst Cases or
Dysnensia and Indigestion.

ana
Dr. Jennison, who has made a life study
of stomach troubles. says: "Ail forms or
indigestion really amount to the same
thing. that is, failure to completely di-
gest the food eaten: no matter whether
the trouble is acid dyspepsia or sour
stomach, belching of wind, nervous dys-
pepsia. or loss of flesh and appetite; a
person will not have any of them If the
stomach can be induced by any natural
harmless way, to thoroughly digest what
is eaten. and this can be done by a SIM
pie remedy which l have tested in hun
dreds of aggravated cases with complete
success. The remedy is a combination of
fruit and vegetable essences, pure asep-
tic pepsin. and golden seal, put up in the
form of pleasant tasting tablets. 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 dissolve in the
mouth and mingling with the food in the
stomach. digeSts il completely before il
has time to ferment. decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three
thousand grains of meat. eggs, and SINH
lar wholesome foods.
1t is safe to say if this wholesome
remedy was better known by people gen.
orally. 1t would be q national blessing,
as we are a nation of dyspeptics, and
nne-tenths of all diseases owe their ori-
gin to imperfect digestion and nutri-
tion.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a
secret patent medicine, but fifty-cent
package will do more real good for a
weak stomach than fifty dollars worth

j. y. McCook aud Ma rk Hanna Call
at the White House.

The money kings interested in the Gu
ban bond deal are making frantic ef-
forts TO prevent a war.
The first caller at the White House this
morning was J. J. McCook. The second
was Senator Hanna.
After having been closeted with the
President for some time. Mr.. McCook,
who is the official representative of the
syndicate which owns the bonds went
to the Navy Department. and had a con-
ference with Secretary Long. Senator
Hanna followed soon after.
Whether the two representatives of the
peacc-at-any-pric faction succeeded in
bringing the President around to their
views they would not say.
If the Administration should recede
from the firm stand taken in regard to
Spain's intoerable demands. such ac-
ton will be attributable. no doubt TO the
visits at the White House this morning.

The Railroads Win.

The United States Supreme Court today decided
the Nebraska maximum rate law case in favor Of
the railways.
The opinion was delivered by Justice Harlan.
This decision makes invalid the law Of 1898 Of
the State Of Nebraska. which gave power to the
Board of Railroad Commissioners to establish 4
maximum schedule Of freight rates within the
State. The decision was unanimous. The Chief
Justice, however. took no part in the decision Of
the case. Neither did Justice Mckenna, who was
not a member OF the court when the
heard The court decides there was error in any
part OF the decree in the Circuit Court IN Ne
braska, and therefore affirmS the finding Of the
court below.
In every particular the maximum law is declared
unconstitutional and rates Illegal which fail to
be Just and equitable to railroads. The court
points ont in the Nebraska decision that if the
rates. prescribed in Nebraska had been enforced,
railroads would have been operated at a loss OF
% ID per cent. The decision does not deny the
right of States to fix rates. for railroads, hut in
ssts that rates shall be such as to permit fair
profits
