JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY
The Robert Burns ofAmerica, at Opera House
Thursday, April 21st.

The greatest treat of this season will be
Mr.. Rileys appearance at the Opera
House next Thursday night. He has re-
manned in comparative seclusion for sew
eral years, writing more of those songs
and stories which move the world to
laughter and to tears, but he is now max
ing a short public tour, and Birmingham
is one of the few cities he will visit in the
south.
When he made his last tour, few years
since, and appeared in Atlanta, the Con-
stitution said of him:
''Mr. Riley is a revelation. He is not
only poet and humorist, but he Is also a
most versatile actor. Everybody has wept
over the pathetic portions of his poems,
and has laughed over the exquisite humor
they contained, but nobody can realize the
beauty of 1t all until Mr.. Riley introduces
to him these creations of his pen. He Is
one of the few people to whom nature has
given talent upon talent. AS he recited
the different extracts from his works he
was to the audience, the living represent
alive of the character he portrayed, and
every emotion was reflected by his fea-
lures His first selection was, when the
Frost is on the Punkin." This was fol-
lowed BY "Tradin' Joe's" description Of
his courtship. His representation OF the
little boy telling a bear story, which the
child makes up as he goes along, was
simply CONFUSING, and that of the object
lesson professor was even more enJoyapie,
* such a thing be possible. His audience
fell completely in love with him. MT.
Riley is without peer. :.

to remain on their tracks in the depot all
night, and Colonel Burt, commanding, after
consultation with General Boynton and
other local officials, decided to remain in
the cars all night and pitch camp by 8
o'clock tomorrow morning.
General Boynton met the special at
Bridgeport, Ala, and accompanied it to
Chattanooga. Colonel Burt insisted upon
changing the camp grounds originally Sc
lected from the Dyer field to the Widow
Glenn field. There he will take up his head
quarters in the same house in which he
stayed for three days and nights during
the battle of Chickamauga, being then a
member of General Rosecrans' staff The
latter place is less than one mile away from
the Dyer field.
Splendid Set of Men
There are 600 soldiers in the Twenty-fifth
regiment, and splendid looking set of men
they are. They were greeted at the depot
by crowd of citizens conservatively esti-
mated at 1900, and loud cheers rent the air
as they alighted to exercise in the shed.
The regimental band played the Star
Spangled Banner which was literally APP
plauded and wound up with Dixie" The
ground fairly shook with the mighty yell
that went up at this. Several of the Off
GERS of this regiment are Chattanoogans
and were accorded an informal reception in
the depot waiting room. A number of the
privates are former Chattanooga negroes.
General Boynton today said that there is
absolutely no doubt but that many thou
sands of troops are under orders to come
here. Troops from Texas and Arizona
points are already moving east and are ex-
pected here by the latter part of the week.
Two companies of the Twenty-fifth, with
their baggage, were transferred to the
Southern railway trains and left for Key
West tonight. They are commanded by
Lieutenant-Co Colonel Daggett.

The Baltimore Bazaar for the
Benefit of Confederate Veterans.

The work that is being quietly accom-
plished by the Daughters of the Conted-
eracy in various parts of the south cannot
be fully appreciated unless the figures are
carefully computed.
The growth of the organization in Ala
bama indicates the loyalty and devotion Oh
the women of the state to the honorable
traditions of a glorious past, and also evil
dences the desire of Alabama women to aid
as far as in them lies the veterans, who
have found the battle of life too serious TOT
their remaining strength.
At Baltimore a very successful bazaar is
now being conducted under the auspices
of the Daughters of the Confederaey, ana
the Society of the Army and Navy OF the
Confederate States in Maryland, for the
benefit of confederate veterans.
Baltimore ever since the close of the late
war has been particularly active in behalr
of the veterans.
Immediately after hostilities ceased In
1866 a large amount of money was raised
by Baltimore citizens and sent south, and,
owing to this generosity, many confederate
soldiers were enabled to begin life anew.
In 1886 a bazaar was held at Baltimore
when S42 900 was realized and applied to the
maintenance of confederate Soidlers
home, near that city, and also in renewing
the necessities of many ex-confederate
soldiers families. The doors of this SOL
diers' home are open to needy, helpless
ex-confederates from every section of the
south.
Contributions to the present bazaar have
been received from every Southern state,
and each state is represented by table OF
BOOTH The bazaar will not close until the
10th, and it is expected that a very graft
flying sum will be realized, which Will be
applied toward caring for INDECENT ex-
confederate soldiers.

liver trouble, kidney complaint, heart dis
ease or consumption.
Is not dieting the usual and best treat
ment to cure Indigestion?
No, because the dyspeptic has been
starved long enough; what is needed is
abundant nourishment, not the lack of it.
The stomach and blood demand nutriment,
not bran crackers.
What is the best method of cure?
Plenty of wholesome food digested.
But how can a weak stomach digest plen-
ty of wholesome food?
BY taking with the food after each meal
certain harmless remedies which are known
to digest food and thus nourish the blood
and rest the weak stomach.
What are these harmless remedies?
The most valuable are vegetable fer
ments pur pepsin, Golden Seal and fruit
salts All these are now combined in the
form of pleasant tasting tablets sold by
druggists under the name of Stuart's Dys-
pepsa Tablets. o1r
Are these tablets superior to the various
liquid preparations SO fealled dyspepsia
cures?
Most decidedly, because all liquid medi-
cines become stale with age and lose what
ever good qualities they may have had
originally, while the tablet retains its prop
critics indefinitely. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets can be carried in the pocket always at
hand ready for use when travelling or at
daily occupation. They cost but so cts, and
should be kept in every family. They kee
the digestion perfect and save doctors bills
by warding off disease
Are Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets adapted
to all forms of dyspepsia?
Yes, because in all cases the trouble re-
suits from indigested, fermentng food
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cause the food
to be digested before it has time to fer
ment.

your druggist for psckage and try them
