Below the stone a wooden platform

BARRIOS' BIOGRAPHY.
New York, Feb. 1O.-General Jose May
Reyna Barrios, president of the republic
of Guatemala, was born in San Marcos in
1859 He was a nephew of the former
president, Justo Rufino Barrios, who was
killed in 1885. The general was educated
abroad, and after his collegiate course he
made a trip around the world. In his
ideas he was always liberal and when the
Conservative party was busted he was a
close adherent to his uncle's principles.
In the ensuing war of federation, the pur-
pose of which was the unifcation of the
Central American states, the general was
placed in command of a division of the
Liberal troops. During the war of 1885,
when his uncle. the president, was killed.
the general succeeded him as commander
of the forces. Later on, when President
Barillas was in control, he banished the
young general from Guatemala and he
went direct to California, residing in San
Francisco for about year. Nine years
ago General Barrios was consul in Ham
burg, Germany. In 1892 he succeeded
Barrillas as president, his term of Office
(six years. expiring on March of this
year. Last June he publicly declared him
self dictator of Guatemala His parti-
sans say that under his administration the
country prospered and developed extern

From Dyspepsia and Stomach

He says: The patient was man who
had suffered to my knowledge for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate seemed
to sour and create acid and gases in the
stomach; he had pains like rheumatism

experiment I finally bought a fifty cent
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
a drug store and gave them to him. AL
most immediate relief was given and
after he had used four boxes he was TO all
appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings. no bloating after meals,

CAPTAIN KlDD'S TREASURE
Strange Fortune OF Money-Diggert
on the Nova Scotia Boast.

New York, Feb. 9.-The Herald says:A
short time ago, on an siland in one
the rugged shore of far Off Nova Scotia,
a knot of swarthy, bronzed workmen
gathered about the mouth of pit. The
setting sun lit up Malone Bay with a
touch of gold, but the workmen at that
moment care little about the beauties of
nature.
With the shovels at their sides they
gathered about their leader and eagerly
scanned a little piece of parchment. 1t
was only thre-eights of an inch wide and
half an inch long. A few minutes before
it had been brought to the surface from
down the dark pit 156 feet below where
they stood.
The workmen puzzled over the indis-
tinct writing on the piece Of parchment
and finally decided that the two letters
thereon inscribed were ''vi -. It is to be
added that a scientific study of the parch-
ment has only served to indorse their
reading.
This scene took place late in the after
noon on Oak Island. q. few miles off the
village of Chester, n. S., which is for
ty-fve miles by stage from Halifax. Few
people travel by the stage nowadays.
They take the little steamer Lunenburg
instead and have four hours trip on the
water, past the headlands that stand out
grimly on either side of Sainte Margarets
Bay; past the Northt West Arm, and so
into Halifax harbor. Or else they come
by Malone village way.
To the men themselves to Chester and
from Nova Scotia the finding of parch-
ment by gang of workmen would have
no significance.
To the men themselve, to Chester and
to the province of Nova Scotia it meant
that perahps another and a tangible clew
to the hundred-year-old mystery Of the
buried treasures of Captain Kidd had
been unearthed.

said that letters for Chester in the winter
