!" "DEATH in
THE POT"

"Death in the pot" That sentence
condenses the story of tragedy.
little family gathering. A fine dinner
cooked i'll the large copper kettle long
tiisused. and the entire family poisoned
by the accumulated verdigris. The story
was told by the newspapers from one
end of the land to the other. But it was
soon forgotten. The moral of 1t is, that
the purest of food, put into foul vessel,
instead of i1inistering to life may be-
come a minister of death.
If the stomach is diseased it is like the
poisonous kettle, which taints everything
that goes into it. The symptoms are
irregular appetite, undue fullness after
eating, distressed feeling in the stomach,
of fiuttering and sinking sensations, pal
pitation, dizziness, ringing i'll ears, sour or
bitter risings and constipation. Not all
these symptoms may be present at the
same time, but anv of them shows dis
ease in the digestive or alinentarv tract.
The intimate relation of the stomach
to the blood, heart, liver and lungs

POWERFUL
Influence Is Being
Brought to Bear
On the Erie to Have 1t Withdraw
the Low Rates.

1t was learned yesterday by pri-
vate advices from New York that a
powerful influence is being brought
to bear on the Erie railroad to have
it withdraw its rate to New York the
first week in September, says the
Cleveland Leader.
Just what the influence at New
York is to be is not known, but it is
said to be so powerful that the Off
GERS of the Erie are commen cling to
yield to the persuasion. It is said
that in a few days the Erie may be
compelled to submit to withdrawal
of the rate, but at the time they
make the admission there will be q
very dramatic performance in which
the guardian angel of the Erie, in
the person of one of the under Off
cials, will appear and tell his chief
that these reservations have been
made all along the line and the road
cannot recede from the position that
it has taken, according to the ruling
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. Then the higher officials
will shake their heads and say that
it is grave situation, and will ask
how all of this happened, and in
the same breath will say that they
are also sorry that they cannot with
draw the rate.
At the close of this scene the cur
tain will go up on another little per-
formance that will fit very well upon
the close of the foregoing. 1t will be
the announcement that all of the
other lines into New York have made
this despised 50 reduction, and are
now open to regular round-trip busi-
ness at the lowest rate New Workers
have seen in twenty years. The time
is growing short and the battle, which
will be fierce one, will be waged in
the next few days.

The Mr.. Dobson of 1892, who told
Summit county's Republicans that
their party's local affairs were con-
trolled by the Court House Ring,
and the Mr.. Dobson of 1899, who SOL
emnly affirms in his paper, the Bea-
con, that there is no Ring, are still at
loggerheads. If they don't get to-
gether pretty soon, the scores of local
Republicans whose political hopes
and ambitions lie buried in the Ma
chimes private grave yard are likely
to die laughing at the humor of the
thing. The spectacle of Mr.. Dobson's
trying to convince Senator Alexan-
der, ex-Sheriff Griffin, Capt. A. P.
Baldwin, and many other Republi-
cans of Summit county that their
party's local affairs have not been
controlled and administered for
many years by clique of politicians
especially when this attempt at
denying the existence of Ring is
made in the face of volumes of testi-
mony to the contrary by the same
Mr.. Dobson, is sufficient to make
even a horse laugh.

 Miss Grants particular friend is her cousin, Miss Vivian Sartoris, daughter of Nellie Grant, and a young lady of about her own age, though Miss Vivian is much prettier. The two young ladies spent last summer in Washington, and were the re- cipients of much attention, particularly in diplomatic circles. and 1t was evident that she would inevitably marry in diplomatic ranks.
 Miss Grant is p and Miss Sartoris is two years younger.
 Prince Michael Cantacuzene, to whom Miss Grant Is engaged, is a Russian of purest blood The CantacuzeneS boast that there is no drop of Polish in their veins, and it is said they point with scorn to the Poniatowskys, who are of Polish eKtracation, and who were said to be sad ly implicated in a scandalous way, with Catherine the Great of Russia.

But Mrs. Grant is quieter than her sister, Mrs. Palmer, and is less of a public wo- man in every way.
 Julia Dent Grant began her life in the white house, she being born during the presidency of her grandfather, General Ulysses Grant. Her mother whose home was in Chicago, often took her on a visit to the west, hence the suppostion that Miss Grant Is a western girl.
 When quite a child Miss Grant went to Austria to live. Her father was appointed minister to Austria under President Harri- son in 1889; and he took his family with Grant soon became acquainted with the royal family and was a favorite with that capricious Empress Elizabeth. She thus received an education in a foreign court and the life which was commenced in dip lomatic circles was continued in them.
 Miss Grant has often been described as a flashing girl. Truth to tell, she is not at a II dashing. She is rather undersized with non descript hair and sweet though not regu- lar, features. Her chief charm is her neat ness, which is very pronounced. She has O trim figure and is very fastidious in her dress, but beyond that she has never had a claim to beauty. To the eyes of a foreign CT she looks pretty because of her extreme modishness, but among American belles she is not conspicuous though nice looking.
 Mrs. Potter Palmer has always found her niece very congenial The two wo- men, differing widely in disposition, have been almost chums with in the past three years. Mrs. Potter Palmer, heavy mind ed, progressive and public spirited, has found her nece, Julia, very restful. An envious Newport girl once said that she never knew Julia Grant to have an idea
