HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For
the Cause

Heart troubles. at least among Amer
leans are certainly increasing, and while
this may be largely due to the excite
ment and worry of American business
life, It is more often the result OF weak
Stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is incura-
bic; but not one case in a hundred of
heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
of the same great nerves, the Sympa-
thetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is af-
hicted by that form of poor digestion.
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food; there is a feel
ing of oppression and heaviness in the
chest caused by pressure of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs,
interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also pOisons the blood,
makes it thin and Watery, which frri-
tates and weakens the heart
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble Is to improve the digestion and
food.
This can best be done by the regular
use AFTER meals, of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets which may
De found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive
elements In pleasant, convenient form.
II is safe to say that the regular
persistent use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any form
OF stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
Full sized package of the tablets sold
by druggists at so cents.
Little book on stomach troubles

THE SITUATION IN CHINA.

An American, long residing in Picking,
who had opportunities of acquainting

ally and prefer England to the sullen
neighbor on the north, from which
quarter the Kingdoms enemies have

order to bring England to the point
that is a substantial guaranty of the
integrity of China against Russian ag-
gression. and no arrangement that has
been entered into would be allowed to
stand in the way of favorable con-
ventfon with the United States.

His Section of Redwood Tree Was

Dining Table.

London. Oct. 31.-Mr. William AstOr
writes to the Times denying the story
that he recently won a bet by giving
a dinner to q guests seated around a

in the grounds of CIiveden was put
there as an object of curiosity, and was
never intended to be used as a dining
table.
no bet was ever made as to the seat
ing capacity of the section. The whole
tale was a deliberate fabrication. He

NEW STAR OBSERVED.
It is of the A1gol Type and It's Varia-
ton is Less Than a Day.

Boston. Oct. S1.-At the meeting of the
Boston Scientific society Saturday even
ing Edwin F. Sawyer announced the
discovery of another short period var
liable star of the Algol type. The star
is known in the Durchmusterung as the
star u degrees 1867. It's period of var
iation is twenty-one hours and twenty
one minutes; that is, less than a day.
It varies from seven magnitude to half
a magnitude fainter thus losing nearly
half its normal light at times of minima.
The star is noted in Miller and
Kempf's catalogue, these observers hav-
ing seen it twice in its faintest phase.
In looking it up in connection with the
stars in the catalogue, Mr.. Sawyer saw
it twice. and both times in it's brightest
phase. The disagreement between it's
published brightness and that observed
led to further watch, which resulted in
the determination of its true nature.

In the sweat Of thy face
shalt thou eat bread"
The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1898-10-29
Opera House, Friday Nov. 4th.

The stage tramp has ever been
a source of amusement, wonder
and interest. Baron Rudolph
was not, however, in the category
of stage tramps above alluded to.
1t was this role which ended the
career of George S. Knight. He
could not get away from his de-
sire to make the theatre-going
public accept "Baron Rudolph"
and the public would not enshriAe
in its affections so repulsiye a
character, Yet it was mastery
delineatlon and knight was a
martyr to it. "Old Hoss" was a
stage tramp which caught the
public fancy. William (. Hoey
did not ask any one to sympathize
with his idea, he aimed to make
theatre-goer laugh, he did make
them laugh and sold Hoss was
popular. The "Percy and Harold
of Ward & Vokes' followed i'm
mediately and soon there was
scarcely an offering in which his
hobo-ship had no place. Ward
& Vokes were fortunate in placing
their characterizations in q draw
inc room instead of on the high
way, and the idea of Il tramp in a
drawing room with all the fine
manners of the gentleman-born
was accepted and aPpIauded.
Walter Jones gave ''l492' a tramp
ond his success is theatrical his
tory. So there are three instances
of artistic success and financial
reward for the genus hobo, to
one of failure and death. Knight
died of shattered mind caused
by a broken heart at his failure,
while Hoey's "Old Hoss," Ward
& Vokes, "Percy and Harold
and " alter Jones "1492" success
have all coined money and laugh
ter.
