The pain that sometimes strikes
man at the most inopportune moment
is due to indigestion. 1t may come in
the midst of dinner and make the
feast mockery. 1t is reminder that
he may not eat what he chooses, nor
when he chooses. He is slave to the
weakness of his stomach. A mans
health and strength depend upon what
he gets out of his food. This depends
on his digestion. Remove the Obstruc-
ton by taking DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. They are a positive cure for
constipation and its attendant ills
headaches, sour stomach, flatulence,
dizziness, biliousness and "heartburn."
The "Pellets" are very gentle in their
action. They simply assist nature.
They give no violent wrench to the
system. They cause no pain nor grip

Lees Iden of Entering the Grand
Masonic Lodge.

Richmond, Va. May Is.-It is under
stood from officials high in Masonic circles
that there has been a plan on foot 10
make General FItzhugh Lee a member OF
the grand lodge without undergoing tho
usual preliminaries. but the distinguished
soldier, when approached in regard to the
subject said. while he appreciated the
honor, he would prefer being properly in
itiated. Grand Master Duke authorized
one of the highest officials of the lodge
to say to General Lee that he would
make him a Mason at sight" a prerog-
ative which he has the right to exercise.
but which has never been done in the
case of anyone, except the Prince of
Wales General Lee. after considering
the matter, concluded that when he hc-
came a Mason he would rather go through
the usual formalities- The general, in his
hearty, outspoken manner said: Il ap-
preciate the honor intended, but l do not
think it would be treating the rest of the
fraternity just right l hope TO be a
Mason some day, but I wish to ride the
billy goat just like all the other Masons
have done. If | should get In through
the grand masters side door many Of my
Masonic friends might comment.

Which Deeeiyes Nobody
Madrid, May 1S.-When upon the eve of
leaving st. Vincent Admiral Cervera is
sued the following general order to his
squadron:
After a three years struggle in Cuba
we are now about to see the end. As
suredly the insurrection would not have
lasted had Ii not received support from
the United States. That nation, beiiev-
ing that by its underhand work it had
created a thousand embarrassments for
US. and seeing that il could not attain
the object of it's ambition, at last threw
off the mask when it saw the insurrec-
ton dying out, and declared against US
a most unjust war.
1t will be known to history that Spain
did not want war, as is proved by her
making every concession possible to a
self-respecting nation. but the Ameri-
cans. whose ambition is insatiables al
ways demanded more, and asked even
what belongs to us, the country which
the Spaniards discovered under the leader
ship of Columbus
Let US, then, go to war, since we are
driven to il by the blind ambition of the
Americans. But we shall enter the fight
as Spaniards have always entered, strong
in our rights and trusting in God, who
will not abandon a 5ust cause and who
viii sustain our efforts.
Il need not counsel you to observe dis
cipline, for in the six months / have COM
manded you i have only had cause to
congratulate myself upon your conduct.

THE NEED OF A LARGER ARMY
Fifty Thousand Regulars May he
the Peace Establishment.


Never before has the great need Of a
before the Government and people as
now
Army officers are becoming very much
discouraged at the dilatory manner in
which the volunteer forces are being mus
tered into service and equipped for the
field. 1t can hardly be said that the War
Department is entirely responsible for
this delay. as its officers have made ev-
cry effort TO hurry the enlistment OF men
and purchase of supplies.
In talking over the tardiness of the
Army in getting into the field, several
prominent Army officers have said that 1t
was entirely due TO the poor organiza-
ton of the National Guard. Some States
called upon to furnish troops have a So
called National Guard that is positively
without organization. and in some cases
the men even lack uniforms and modern
guns.
1t is more than twenty days since Presi-
dent Mckinley made the call for 125, ,000
volunteers, and the latest reports show
that only $1,000 have been mustered in,
and only a few regiments are at present
ready for actual service.
In the meanwhile the Navy has won a
wonderful victory. The purpose of the
/ present war with Spain is to free Cuba
! and establish in that island a stable form
! of f-government Up to the present
| date no action has been taken by the
! Army to end the mfsruie of the Spaniards
/ in Cuba Army experts now declare that
! If the United States had a standing army
/ of $4,000 men there is no doubt that the
/ war, as far as Cuba is concerned would
! have been ended by the present time
Gen. Eagan, cornInissary general, says
recent developments have conclusiveiy
shown that IL is impossible TO quickly fl.
an army for actual service. The quar-
/ termaster's department is exeTtinC every
/ resource in America 10 get equipment fol
the Army and yet, * is said. the supplies
are not being furnished half fast enough
In Germany. France and other countries
4 which keep large standing armies there
! are companies which make it their bust
ness to attend solely to the wan,s of tbs
/ army. These concerns are able. at a day
/ notice, TO expand their resources enough
/ to quickly provide for the army in any
( emergency. II the United States had 8
! larger standing army such establishments
would spring into existence here
Gen Eagan said: III at the beginning
OF the present war with Spain, the United
/ States had been provided with a standing
army of $1,000 men, the war on the Island
| of Cuba would have been ended. On N,
! declaration Of war we could rave i-nTae-
diately put 10000 well drilled and equipped
| men into the field. and with the ass.sC
ance of the Navy this army coud hay,
easily taken Havana"
Many Army officers who have expressed
| themselves in a like manner are OF tn,
opinion that the Army of the United
| States will never be again allowed to fal
| below 80, 900 men.

FURNISHING ARMY SUPPLIES.
Senator HnwIey Calls Up the Con-
ference Report

Senator Hawley yesterday in the Sem
ate called up the conference report on the
bill to suspend certain statutes in relation
to furnishing supplies to the Army in the
existing war.
This conference report has been before
the Senate a number of times and objec-
ton has been made TO repeating the stat
ute requiring such supplies TO be adver-
tised for.
The report as presented yesterday does
not repeal that statute but has the fol-
lowing paragraph substitute:
That during the existing war the Bu-
reau of Ordnance OF the War Department
is authorized 10 purchase without adver-
tisement such ordnance and stores as are
needed Tor immediate Use. and when such
stores are 10 be manufactured they are to
be received as rapidly as possible without
advertisement"
Mr.. German objected TO this. as he held
il opened wide the door for corruption.
MIR. Hawley stated that under the cir
cums,ances it was exceedingly necessary
that such a provision should be adopted
and that he could explain the matter to
the Senate only In executive session. Upon
his motion such session was ordered and
