Is IT A TRIFLE?
THAT COMMON TROUBLE, ACID DYs-
PERSIA OR SOUR STOMACH.
Now Recognized as a Cause of Serious
Disense.

Disease.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach, is form of indi-
gestion resulting from fermentation of
the food. The stomach being too weak
to promptly digest it, the food remains
until fermentation begins, filling the stom-
ach with gas and a bitter sour, burning
taste in the mouth is often present. This
condition soon becomes chronic, and. be-
ing an everyday occurrence, is given but
little attention. Because dyspepsia is not
Immediately fatal, many people do moth
ing for the trouble.
Within a recent period remedy has
been discovered prepared solely TO cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and
is now becoming rapidly used and pre-
scribed as a radical cure for every form
of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold by
druggists everywhere at so cents per
package. 1t is prepared by the Stuart
Chemical Co.. Marshall Mich, and while
1t promptly and effectually restores a
vigorous digestion, at the same time is
perfectly harmless and viii not injure the
most delicate stomach, but on the con-
trary, by giving perfect digestion,

ATLANTIC COAST DEFENsEs
SEABoARD CITIES THE SCENE
OF ACTIVE WORK
Everything Done According to Pro.
gram and Not Because Of Any
Fear of War

NEW YORK Feb. 21.-The World
says:
Nearly 100 telegraphic dispatches were
sent during the past twenty-four hours
from Governors Island, the army head
quarters of the Department of the East,
to various points of Notifications along
the seaboard from Eastport, Me-, to GAL
weston, Tex. All of these Notifications
in which guns and mortars have been
mounted are under the control of Gen.
Wesley Merritt, commander of the De-
partment of the East.
Gen. Merritt spent very little Of the
day at the island, his staff attending to
the usual amount of telegraphic corre-
spondence.
During his absence, Col Barber, Adju-
tant-General of the Department of the
East, was in charge. Col. Barber re-
fused to discuss the reasons of the activ-
ity along the seaboard except to say
that everything now being done was
merely the execution of coast defense
program outlined several months ago.
1t was learned from other sources that
orders had been received at the island
on Friday night to send from Fort
Wadsworth to Sandy Hook twenty men
to clean the big guns in the Notifications
there and to transfer considerable guam
titles OF ammunition. The same orders
brought instructions to send forty men
from Fort Schuyler to Willetts Point to
clean the guns there and to overhaul the
ammunition.
Fort Hancock at Sandy Hook is still
in the hands OF the army engineers and
ordnance bureau. The engineers are
constructing the displacements for the
guns and mortars yet to come and when
they complete the work the ordnance
bureau will have to set the guns and
carriages and test them before the fort
can be regularly transferred to Gen.
Merritt's command. This work will not
be finished until late in the spring and
the quarters for the artillery will not be
finished under the present program until
Octover. Not till then will Fort Han
cack be an official reality
Two days ago the expert artillerist
stationed at Governors Island, the man
recognized by army men as the most

turned from tour of inspection of the
fortifications from Boston to Charles

The last place he visited was Fort Cas-
well, near Cape Hatteras On his way
back to Governors Island he stopped at
Washington and conferred with Secre-
tary Alger. At Fort Caswell he found
three high caliber guns in splendid shape
which he did not know had been set
up. He visited the Boston forts, the
Qualifications at Dutch and Gull Islands

Shown by English-Speaking People in
Paris ,,.. -r
NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-It Is a note
worthy fact that in all the English
speaking churches in Paris reference
was made to the Maine disaster in the
Sunday services, says the Heralds Paris
correspondent. 1t was to be expected
that preachers at the two American
churches would dwell on the catastro-
phe, but the unanimity with which the
chaplains of English churches took oc-
casion to express sympathy merits re-
mark. At the English church where
Sir Edmund and Lady Monson and the
Embassy staff were. the Rev. DR.. Noyes
said:
Il take this opportunity to express
what am sure is in all your minds.
namely, our intense feeling of sorrow
with regard to the calamity which has
befallen the American navy. We are
more than allied with America-we are
related-and any pain felt by her causes
sympathetic throb in the hearts of the
English nation"
Similarly sympathetic references were
made at ST. Georges, the Victoria Jubi-
lee Church and the English Wesleyan
Church. At the latter the Dead March
in Saul was played, the congregation
standing.
At st. Joseph's Church for English
speaking Catholics mass was said es-
pecially for the seamen of the Maine.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 21.-A special to the
Globe-Democrat from Monterey, Mex

The Ward line steamer Yumuri was
alongside the wharf and turned the first

the river. A. S. Robinson, the engineer
in charge of construction, while fight
ing the flames, was injured by falling
timbers and Will probably die. The con-
struction Of the wharf was commenced
in July, 1896, and it was to be one of the
finest on the Spanish coast. It's lengeth

custom house, under construction and
nearly completed, was damaged to the
extent Of about $4,000 The total loss
