THE OLD WAY
Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion by
 Dieting a Dangerous and Useless One

We say the old way, but really 1t is a very common one at the present time, and many dyspeptcs and physicians as well consider the first step to take in attempt ing to cure indigestion is to diet, either by selecting certain foods and rejecting others or to greatly diminish the quantity us- ually taken, in other words the starvation plan is supposed by many to be the first essential
 The almost certain failure of the starva- tion cure has been proven time and again, but still the moment dyspepsia makes it's appearance a course of dieting is at once advised.
 All this Is radically wrong. It is foolish and unscientific to recommend dieting to q man suffering from dyspepsia because indi- gestion itself starves every organ, every nerve and every fibre in the body.
 What the dyspeptic wants is abundant nutrition, which means plenty of good, wholesome, well-cooked food. and some thing to assist the weak stomach to di- gest it. This is exactly the purpose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adopted and this is the method by which they cure the worse cases of dyspepsia, in other words the patient eats plenty of wholesome food and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest it for him. In this way the system is nourished and the overworked stomach rested, because the tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not. One of these tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat or eggs.
 Your druggist will tell you that Stuart's Tablets is the purest and safest remedy for stomach troubles and every trial makes one more friend for this excellent prepar- ation. Sold at 50 cents for full sized pack age at all drug stores.

Julian Ralph Is a popular journalist and literateur of New York city who has be- come well-l1nown in his profession. He has written stories, long and short, which have been greatly enjoyed. His People We Pass" are stories of life among the masses of New York city. "Dixie" contains south- ern scenes and sketches.
 Our Great Vest is study of the pres ent conditions and future possibilities of the new commonwealths and capitals of the United States. Aside from his published works, Mir. Ralph is almost constant con- tributor to Harpers Weekly.
 Mir Ralph has recently published new work entitled, An Angel in a Web" which, to say the least, is somewhat remarkable Only the past woell long and fully illus trated article appeared in the Sunday New York Herald upon the possibilities and probabilities of being able to communicate with the unseen spirits around us through the medium of a very magnetic and sus- ceptible human being.

 A celebrated judge was once trying case where the accused could only understand Irish, and an interpreter was accordingly sworn. The prisoner said something to the interpreter and the latter replied.
 What does he say?" demanded the judge
 Nothing, my lord"
 'How dare you say that, when we all heard him? Come, sir, what was it?"
 My lord" said the interpreter. beginning to tremble, 'ft- had nothing to do with the case"
 Now, what did he say?"
 Well, my lord, you'll excuse me, but he said, Who's that ould woman with the red bed curtain round her sitting up there?"
 At this everybody present roared

Schemes for a Coup d Etat in France

Paris, Feb. 25.-The Figaro says that
among the papers seized at the headquar-
ters of the League of Patriots yesterday
were letters addressed to senior officers
among the generals. melting them TO the
execution of coup d'etat.
The government, however, knowing the
officers addressed to be above suspicion.
has decided to make no further enquiry
into the matter as far as they are concern
ed.
Meanwhile Deroulede and Habert have
been transferred to the Conciergerie and
will be prosecuted before the assizes.
The more impartial journals. like the
"Matin," declare that il is necessary to
discover whether the idiotic adventure was
really as personal as it seems or whether
there are responsible persons behind il
who must be unearthed. The latter, con-
tinues the "Matin." is evidently the Opin-
ion of the chamber Of deputies and the
government, hence the great activity of the
authorities and yesterdays almost unani
nous vote in the chamber of deputies.
So far as the part taken by the public
or any section OF ii in the anti Republican
schemes. the agitation seems to be absC-
lutely at an end. Those who are not
laughing at Derouiede say that he at least
showed some courage instead Of confning
himself to the vile chorus Of spoken and
written abuse which has at last disgusted

Government agents during the night AMI
this morning made great many domicil

They protest that they were acting upon

Then Mary Ryan, who also came to the
Jail yesterday, got up and began to Shrek
that the world was coming to an end.
When a keeper tried to quiet her she
fought viciously, using cups and plates as
weapons. All the Jail force was hastily
summoned, and after a desperate struggle
oTCrpowered the two crazy prisoners and

WANTED HERE FOR
STEALING. DIAMONDS
Hamburg Authorities Capture
John ]. Collins.
Disappears From Washington When
on Bail.
German Consul General mt New York
Asks the Local Tolice for
Information.

The Police Department received a letter
this morning from the Consul General of
Germany, in New York. in which he asked
for information regarding John ]. Collins,
an expert diamond thief, who was arrest
ed in this city in November. and again in
Hamburg, Germany, last month.
Collins was arrested by Detective Horne
on November IS for shoplifting. He en-
tered the jewelry stores of Moore G. Leding
and r. Harris d Co., of this city, and pre-
tended that he wanted to purchase dia-
monds. He did not find anything to suit
him. apparently. but when he had left the
stores the clerks missed several hundred
dollars worth of jewelry.
Detective Horne arrested the man and
he was held in $500 bond by the Police
Court judge, for a hearing. When his
name was called IN court few days later
it was found he had disappeared. The po-
lice made strenuous efforts to locate him,
but had no success.
His subsequent movements have been
made known, however. through the letter
from the German Consul. He went to New
York from this city and took passage on
the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse for
Hamburg He did not go to Hamburg.
however. but left the steamer at the first
English port and went to London In that
city he worked the same game that had
caused his arrest in Washington and was
apprehended through the vigilance of the
Scotland Yard detectives, about January j.
In some manner he secured his release
from the custody OF the English authori-
ties and then proceeded to Hamburg, his
original destination. Once in Germany, he
resumed his old practices and was again
arrested. This time he gave the name OF
Carl Wissenfels and claimed Berlin as the
place OF his nativity.
The German police are of the opinion
that in Collins they have secured MEM
ber of a gang of international diamond
thieves and swindlers. They searched his
record and found that he had been oper-
ating in Berlin. Germany, and Antwerp,
Belgium as well as other European cities,
under the names of Roach, Collin, and
Wilson.
In some of the places he passed as an
American and a native of Buffalo n. Y,
but in Germany he always gave Berlin as
his residence.
From what can be learned OF the man
in this city it is thought that he is one
OF the cleverest diamond thieves in the
business. He is described, as being well
dressed and presenting very good ap-
pearance He used the best OF language
and seems to have been quite linguist.
He will be held at Hamburg to answer for
his many offences in Germany.
