WHITE HOUSE PHoNoGRAPH.
Nightly Concerts for the Presidents
AmuScment.

The Presidential phonograph is the lat
est addition to the White House. 1t is
what is known as an entertainment
phonograph and was purchased recently
by direction of Mr.. Mckinley, who had
heard a similar instrument give its auto
matte performance while he was on a
visit to New York.
The White House photograph has a
large megaphone attachment through
which are ratified off comic songs of the
day, funny recitations, and stump speech
es. These voices in the tube can be heard
distinctly through the upper rooms in
the Mansion on a quiet night. and the
President as a matter of relaxation from
the cares of office spends many a quiet
candlelight hour with the mystic ma
chine listening to "There'll be a Hot Time
in the Old Town. "On the Banks of the
Wabash" "Gilhooly's Wake" and other
selections. A Presidential phonograph
concert is held almost nightly, and when
the Chief Executive tires of the old tunes
and jokes, new ones are procured
Usually when the concert is on in one
of the upper private rooms, a crowd of
White House attaches tiptoe up the stairs
and congregate about the door to listen
to the automatic voices and hear the
Presidents hearty laughter.

Definition of RELIGION.

Major James Albert Clark addressed
the Theosophical Society last night,
choosing for his subject There Is No Re-
ligion Higher Than Truth" which is the
standing motto of the organization over
the world. f@
The recent decision of court in Massa-
chusetts, ruling that theosophy is not a
religion, prompted the major, as presi-
dent of the Washington branch, to reply,
and in so doing some stress was laid upon
the fact that the society believes that all
religious institutions should pay their
share of the taxation of the society in
which it exists. The Theosophists in Bos-
ton believed this, the speaker said, al
though they appeared in court, claiming
that their property should be exempt If
that of other sects and denominations
was not subject to tax. Theosophists
do not believe that a creed is religion.
but a statement of what men think con-
cerning religion; that worship is not re-
ligion. but a method of expressing it;
that church is not religion, but an or
ganization of men and women to promote
religion.

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 Ameri-
cans, are certainly increasing, and while
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life, it is
more often the result of weak stomachs,
of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is incurable;
but not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by branches of the same
great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneu-
mogastric.
In another way, also the heart is affect
ed by that form of poor digestion, which
causes gas and fermentation from half
digested food; there is a feeling of op-
preston and heaviness IN the chest caused
by pressure of the distended stomach on
the heart and lungs, interfering with their
action: hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes 1t thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and TO
insure the prompt assimilation of food
This can best be done by the regular use
after meals, OF some safe, pleasant and eff
Iective digestive preparation like Stuart $
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain val
uable, harmless digestive elements in a
pleasant, convenient form
1t is safe to say that the regular, per-
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time win cure any form of stom-
ach trouble except cancer of the stomach.
Full sized package of the tablets sold by
druggists at so cents
Little book on stomach troubles mailed
free. Address Stuart Co, Marshall, Mich.

ANXIOUS TO BE RETAINED.
Officers of the District Regiment
Want to Serve Two Years.

Want to Serve Two Years.
1t was stated at the War Department
yesterday that certain officers of the First
Regiment, District of Columbia Volun-
teer Infantry, are making a determined
effort to have the regiment retained in the
service of the United States until the
original term of enlistment 1.-TWO years.
expires.
The date named for the muster-out of
the District Volunteers is November 60
when the two months furlough will ex-
pire. 1t is said that the officers who want
the regiment to remain in the service are
exerting themselves In order to bring
about that consummation in the three
weeks remaining before the proposed mus
ter-out, and that they have made many
recent visits to the War Department and
presented their arguments to Secretary
Alger and Adjt. Gen. Corbin.
They claim that many of the men are
anxious to remain in the army and COM
plete their terms of enlistment, and that
they are Injured to the Cuban climate and
conditions, and therefore practically i'm
munes, and would prove to be a valuable
command for garrison duty on that island.
1t was also pointed out that the First
District Regiment was one of the best
drilled and disciplined In the volunteer
service. and for that reason, coupled
with their severe campaigning, they would
be practically a body of veterans.
Those who are interested in the reten-
tion of the regiment claim the ranks could
be filled to the limit promptly, after the
retirement on November % of all who
wish to be mustered out.
A former non-commissioned officer of
the regiment has learned that Col. Har-
ries himself is not averse to the retention
proposition. and that he would be willing
to remain as colonel commanding.
Whether the War Department is serious
ly considering this matter could not be
learned.
