At the meeting Of he American Society Of
Civil Engineers the other evening more than
one hundred engineers were present, and ad-
dresses were made by three Of the most dis
tinguished naval engineers in this country on
the subject Of drydocks. All the speakers were
strongly in favor Of sto1e docks, and opposed 10
wooden ones. and In the informal discussion
which followed the addresses the same prefer
ence was unanimously expressed. That is 4
somewhat gratifying confirmation Of the opinion
which The Tribune has put forth on the subject
many time in these last few years At first
our words seemed like voice crying in the
wilderness. but they are having their effect at
last.

The Langworthys.

The suicide of Edward Martin Lang
worthy, following on the death of an
unfortunate lady who claimed to be
his wife, recalls to mind one of the
most curious cases in the history of
the English courts. Mr.. Langworthy
had inherited something like 6 150,-
600 from his father and uncle, and aft
er a career at Elton and Oxford was
called to the bar. He met Mildred Sa-
bine Palliser Long on the continent,
and went through form of marriage
with her at Roman Catholic church
in Normandy, and to confirm the SEM
blance of legality performed a similar
ceremony in a Presbyterian church at
Antwerp. He then took the lady on
his palatial yacht Meteor to South
America, and at Buenos Ayres inform
ed her that their marriage was not
valid. Mrs. Langworthy became
mother and for the child's sake took
proceedings against her deceiver. For
four years the wealth of Mr.. Lang
worthy bought the quibbling of I'M
scrupulous lawyers to uphold his case,
and the divorce court eventually de-
creed the marriage invalid, but grant
ed the lady alimony at the rate Of
fl 200 year. The ungentlemanly Mr..
Langworthy, however, evaded payment
by fleeing the country; Mrs. Lang
worthy might have been driven
through despair to suicide had not the
Pail Mall Gazette, edited at that time
by Mr.. Stead, taken up her case. She
brought a new case against Mr.. Lang
worthy for f25,OOO damages for breach
of promise, and everyone rejoiced
when she won it. The general belief
was that Mr. Langworthy had been
egged on to such conduct by relatives.
who thought the marriage mesalli-
ance; anyhow, the quarrel seems to
have been made up to some extent be-
fore the end, and Mr.. Langworthy's
suicide is ascribed to grief at the death
Of the lady ne had so misused.

The department of Horticulture has
for several years been cooperating
with the division of Forestry of the
department of agriculture to test the
hardness of trees produced from seeds
sent from various sections of the coun-
try, north and south, east and west
The seeds were planted in plats hav-
ing the same soil and exposure and
have been subjected to the same con-
ditions On March 7, 1898, notes were
made on the effects of the winter upon
the trees and some striking facts were
revealed. AS rule no injury was to
be noted from the winter on trees
grown from seed sent from states
either north or west from this point.
On the other hand trees from seed sent
in from points southeast of this were
very generally injured from the cold.
The injury varied with both the species
of trees and the location, Black wall
nut showed the greatest injury of any
species and was most affected when
the seed had come from the southeast
ern coast region, Georgia and Ala
bama. This point, besides being of
scientific interest in showing the de-
cided effect of climate of the constitu-
tionality of plants has also practical
value for the tree planter. 1t shows
that trees from seed grown at south
eastern points must suffer more or less
when subjected to this climate, and
suggests that young trees transplant
ed from the same regions would be
even more seriously affected. Further
experiments along the same line are
in progress under direction of the de-
partment.
Nortonville, in proportion to popu-
lation, is said to give better support to

reer is watched with great interest

"a STRANGER IN NEW YORK.

Charles Hoyt the popular American
playwright has been catering to the r-si
BILE side of the tickle public for the past
decade, and during that time contributed
many succes ses to the American stage.
But in presenting "a Stranger in New
York. it is said that he has eclipsed all
his former efforts. Much of the sue
cess this clever author has achieved is
undoubtedly due to the happy faculty
he combines with authorship in the Sc
lection of artists to bring into reality
the creatures of his BRAIN This is most
forcibly illustrated in the company now
presenting "A Stranger in New York.
which comes to the Academy of Music
next Thursday evening.
The highly entertaining skit will be
pleasantly remembered by theatre-goers
as creating no end of hearty laughter
and playing to an audience that tested
the capacity of Hoyt's theatre the last
time it was presented in New York.
Company will include Mr.. John d..
Gilbert
1t is promised that the niece will come
this time even better than ever. and
will be presented with all the scenery
and stage accessories precisely the same
as originally produced at Hoyt's theatre
in New York. whore it enjoyed a run
of thirty weeks. Reserve seat sale now
on at Kings drug store.

PECULIAR P0lS0NS.
GENIRaTED IN The HUMAN BODY.
fhe Result Of Imp fcr Digestion Of food

The Result Of Imp fcr digestion Of food
Every living thing, plant or animal
contains within itself the germs of GER
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
death (called by scientists PtomainesJ,
are usually the result of imperfect diges-
ton of food; the result of indigestion
or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakens.
does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food. The result is a heavy, sod
den mass which ferments (the first pro-
cess of decay poisoning the blood, max
ing it thin, weak and lacking in red
corpuscles; poisoning the brain causing
headaches, pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion weakens the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bringing
on disease of this very important or
gan.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes
And this is so because every organ.
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fails TO digest
food properly. because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids (lactic
and hydrochloric) and pept0gs mic pro
ducts; the most sensible remedy in al
cases of Indigestion. is to take after each
meal one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets. because they supply in II pleas
ant. harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any form IF stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood
strong nerves, bright eye and clear COM
plexion. because all these result only
from wholesome food well ftigc3te1.
