Advice to DyspeptiCs,
How to Cure Til; m selves.
RELIEF COMES THE FIRST HOUR.

1t may seem strange for you to find
after years of doctoring that Dyspepsia in
all it's forms is one of the easiest diseases
to cure, vet such is fact. 1t was only
necessary to find the cause and science
soon furnished the cure For years the
medical profession thought that food was
digested in the stomach and that the lack
of digestive fluids caused indigestion,
nervous dyspepsia, flatulency, and in
truth all the supposed various forms of
dyspepsia known. Believing this, they,
with the manufacturers, have always
worked on these lines, and all dyspepsia
cures made were composed of digestive
ferments combined with some cathartic.
The fact that temporary relief followed
the use of these remedies was sufficient
reason for their continuance, although to
the surprise of the doctors permanent
cures were seldom made This was easily
explained, however, when science proved
THAT FOOD WAS NOT DIGESTED IN
THE STOMACH AT ALL, only prepared
by this organ for digestion by the intes-
tines; that dyspepsia was caused by a
disease germ and that they had been
doctoring the symptoms instead of the
disease itself 1t was found that these
germs in the stomach caused Indigestion,
1atulency catarrh of the stomach, gas
trltis, nervous and acid dyspepsia, and,
when located in the bowels caused intes-
final indigestion. biliousness diarrhoea,
constipation, catarrh of the bowls and
appendicitis

THE FRESHMAN WON.

The sailors of three memo war (Ameri-
can, French and British, while in the
same harbor, were competing with each
other for the best display of seamanship.
A Yankee went to the top of the main
mast and stood there with an arm eX-
tended Frenchman then went aloft
and extended both arms.
An Irishman on board the British ship
thought if he could stand there with a
leg and an arm extended he would be de-
clared the most daring sailor. Nimbly he
mounted to the highest point and at
tempted to do SO, but at the last moment
lost his balance and fell through the rig
ging toward the deck.
The various ropes against which he
came in contact broke his fall, and when
near the deck he succeeded in grasping a
rope. To this he hung for a couple of
seconds and then dropped lightly on the
deck, landing safely on his feet.
Folding his arms triumphantly. as if it
were all in the program, he glanced to-
ward the rival ships and joyously eX-
claimed:

ing foreigners, beat that if you CAM

MADAME SANS GENE"
Katherine Rober Presents the Piece
at Lothrop's.

Miss Katherine Rober and her COM
pany, in Madame Sans Gene" re-
ceived a rousing welcome at Lothrop's
opera house last night. The audience
was the largest of any Monday night
during the season, and the play is I'M
doubtedly the best in every way that
Miss Rober has ever presented in Wor-
cester. The company seems to be par
ticularly well selected, and the famous
play suited it exactly. OF course, Miss
Rober is Madame Sans Gene, or
Catherine Busher, washerWoman,
daughter of the regiment" and
countess of France. Everybody knows
that the scene of the play is laid dur
ing the time of Napoleon, and is full
of bright costumes and thrilling
scenes. Miss Rober has a wealth of
special scenery along with her this
trip, and the setting of the first act of
the play is startling in its magnifi-
cence.
The piece is opened with a prologue
where Charlotte meets Napoleon for
the first time. He is then but a young
lieutenant of the artillery, and she is
his washerwoman. He owes her BILL
and is too poor to pay it. In the first
act of the play Charlotte has become

wards made marshal of France and a
count. Madame Sans Gene is just the
woman to get ahead of such man as
Napoleon, and her little quarrels with
him are some of the bright things of
the play. Orr S. Cash, as Napoleon,
makes a typical little corporal" with
gestures so much like those one mag
ines as belonging to the first emperor
of France. His facial expression is ex-
cellent, and to hear his voice is a re-
lief to those who have had to listen to
the leading man in some of the roper
toire companies which have been here
this year.
Hal Clarendon, as Marshal Lefebre,
is a typical soldier of the time and a
good actor. Miss Grace c. Hamilton,
who has the role of Queen Caroline, is
a Worcester girl and is one of the
many artists this city has produced.
She makes a stately queen and is
actress.

shoulder as l can with my right arm
and elbow. In my fight with Shdrkey
hurt my arm in the first few rounds
of the battle and / was unable to do
any execution with my left hand
throughout the fight
Now, in regard to the opinion which
some persons have that Corbett will be
the easiest mark l have had in some
time let me just say | think that Cor
bett will give me q more troublesome
and harder battle than any fighter has
yet given me, not even barring Fitz-
simmons or Sharkey. Corbett is a re-
markedly clever man, good ring gen
eral and extremely lively on his feet.
Sharkey, l think, is an easier man for
me to beat than Corbett My reason for
saying this is not for the purpose of
undertaking Sharkey as a pugilist-for
he is a wonderful fghter,-but just be-
cause l have fought him twice and
know his style thoroughly l am sure
that if 1t had not been for the fact
that 1 injured my left arm in the early
part of the fight and had not felt the
terrible heat of those lights, 1 would
have won before the twentyfifth
round"
Jeffries concluded by saying that he
intends to make a trip to his home in
Los Angeles after the holidays, where
he will remain for two or three months.

HAD A ROLL OF SlOI, 600;
MATCHING WITH $1,000 BILLS.

New York, Nov, 2O.-Matchng for
money with 500 and $1,000 bills was the
amusement which couple of patrons
of Rectcr's restaurant, in Long Acre
square, INDUCED in at o'clock this
morning, and, after one of the gamblers
had lost $780, he wanted to try it again
and as an evidence of good faith and
financial solidity, flashed a $1O1 900 roll
of nice crisp $1,000 bills.
Near the center of the green and gold
dining room sat a party of four-two
men anG two women. One of the men
was tall, heavy, bald headed, and had
big black moustache. The other was
slender clean shaven and clerical look
ing. The women had yellow hair and
pink cheeks and were gorgeously
gOwned and bediamoned.
The larger man went over to where a
handsome woman sat with finely clad
man. lie piled the woman with invi-
tations 20 join his party. Her partner
presently became angered, whereupon
the intruder returned to his own ia

The couple that had been visited by
the man with the black moustache af-
terward went over to the other table.

the gridiron today, and began the last
weeks practice with hard, vigorous and
aggressive work, but both captain and
coaches felt much discouraged at the
teams showing. 1t was an off day
for the Tigers, and prospects for the
championship are gradually dissipat-
ing. The practice was unusually long.
A full hour was spent in running
through the signals, and then this was
followed with a lineup against the
scrub team for rs and 20 minute halves.
With great difficulty, after repeated
rushes through the line by McCord,
Levick was pushed over for a touch
down in the first half, this being the
only score made during the game.
Everything seems to go wrong with
the varsity, and they could not score
again. In the second half, the scrub
kept the ball most of the time in the
'varsity's territory. McCord has a
knee hurt, and Mills was injured on the
head Both retired from the game.
Dana replaced Mills. H. Lathrop and
Roper alternated at ends with Poe and
Palmer Craig was tried at guard, and
may displace Mills, as he played excep-
tionally we'll
Wheeler and Maths alternated at full
back. Both punted well, but McCord
did the star playing on the varsity.
Hutchinson ran back punts in fine style,
but fumbled frequently passing the
ball. Little, Young and Morse put up
fine work on the scrub. Reiter was out
and ran through signals, but did not en-
ter the lineup. Although not in very
good condition, he will probably be in
the Yale game. McClave was not tried
at half today. After the regular prac-
tice, Mills tried on place kicks and
Hutchinson On drop kicking.

BETTER CONDITIONS.
More Pay and Better Hours
Will Be Asked By
Machinists.

Organizer John j. Connolly of the In
ternational Association of Machinists
arrived in this city yesterday after
noon, and today will begin a canvass
for better conditions in local machine
shops. According to Organizer Con-
molly no city in the United States
where expert mechanics are employed
has machine shop employees getting
less money than competent workmen in
this city.
A movement will he instituted for
better pay for overtime work, and the
machinists will advocate the eight-hour
day through the union. Organizer Con-
molly told The Spy man last night that
he intended to be here the remainder
of the week and conduct an active cam
| paign for membership expansion in the
| local union. The growth of the two
machinists' unions in this city has been
so rapid that Organizer Connolly be-
| lieVes it will be a matter of but a few
weeks before machine proprietors will
be called upon for the payment of more
| wages to competent machinists.
Organizer Connolly will have the as
| sistance of another national organizer,
Stuart Reid, in his attempt to build
the local union to a position where it
VIII be strong enough to demand bet
ter working conditions. Organizer Reid
has written Mr.. Connolly that he will
be in upper New England for the next
few weeks, and that Worcester would
probably get a share of his attention.
Mr.. Reid recently conducted the
strike of the machinists in the employ
of the Union Pacific Railroad in Can
| ada. The strike was one of the most
powerful ever experienced in Canada.
Traffic on the railroad was tied up for
several days, owing to defective boil
ers which inexperienced workmen We're
unable to repair. Mr.. Reid is a unique
! figure in the labor movement. He is
of Scotch parentage, and when a
mere boy he began work as a machin-
lists apprentice. Later he was admit
ted to the clergy, and was a Methodist
preacher for several years. The ma
chinists' strike in Canada was sup
ported from the pulpit. Mr.. Reid is
accredited with being a convincing ora
tor, and Organizer Connolly said that
Mr.. Reid's decision to visit this city
means business

REGIMENTAL SHOOT.
Teams of the Second Regiment Will
Compete Today.

The annual shoot of the Second Mas
sachusetts regiment will be held at
Lookout range, Springfield, today. The
competition teams of the City Guards
and Light Infantry left at lib o'clock
last evening. Capt. Charles S. Holden
of the Wellington Rifles thought it I'M
necessary to make the men bear the
expense Of stopping in Springfield all
night, and the team will leave at 6. 33
o'clock this morning. By this schedule
the squad will not be able to reach the
range before 9 o'clock, but the condi-
tons governing the competition say
that all contestants must be on the
field at $50 o'clock.
Every arrangement for the shoot has
been unsatisfactory to members of the
Worcester companies, who will be con-
testants. Several of the Light In
fantry and City Guard members went
to Springfield on the train leaving this
city shortly after midnight. The con-
dition these men will be in, will not be
conducive to steady nerves, one of the
necessities when high scores are
sought.
