Seemingly inspired by the freshness and
animation brought about by the recent

beauty and gladness, quite rivalled the
lovely flowers and smiling verdue of the
homes along the route of the pageant Lit

Sneed Watkins Little Herbert Grizzard
was in a wagon decorated with red, white
and blue, drawn by Charley Grizzard. The
little boys wore white suits, with sashes
to match the color of the decoration of the
vehicle in their respective charge. After
the parade through the principal streets
they repaired to the residence of Mrs.
Clarence Gatlin, where several hours were
made merry with music and games. Re-
freshments were served on the pretty green

BERNHARDT ON HAMLET

Sarah Bernhard has written this letter
to a London newspaper regarding her in
depreciation of Hamlet
I am unable to reply to all the criticisms
which have been made upon me, but there
are, however, some which l should like to
answer.
I am reproached with being too spright-
ly, too "mannish." 1t would appear that in
England one must present Hamlet as
melancholy professor of Wittemberg, but
assume-because Shakespeare himself says
so-that Hamlet was a Student of Wit

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, July 2S.-Bradstreets financial
review tomorrow will say:
Speculation is still without important
movements, but the activity of trading on
the stock exchange has been at a low ebb
all the week. The professional traders sup
ply nearly all the actual interest; the pub
lie is taking little part, and the pools and
large operators rest while these conditions
exist. London has not been factor, and
the market there and abroad has been ex-
periencing the usual midsummer dullness.
AS far as the railroad share list is concern
ed, the favorable crop prospects and the
large increases in current earnings reported
by some important lines, to say nothing of
confident predictions that tonnage will con-
tinue heavy during the remainder of the
year, keep up steady tone and facilitate
short-lived rallies from time to time This
process has been particularly noticeable IN
connection with the Changers and South
western stocks A few of the specialties
have been the effects of manipulation, and
even the Industrias shared to some extent
in the bulish influences.
The last named portion of the market is,
however, on the whole, neglected. For
eign exchange has been steady and dull be-
low the gold point, and fears of a renewed
movement of specie to Europe are laid
aside. Indeed, as noted elsewhere, the
London market and the foreign financial
press are inclined to dwell upon the proba-
bility of having to supply a demand for
gold from this side in the autumn and win
ter, when our cotton and grain exports as
sumo their expected activity. The I'M

The Insurgen, Capital Falls Easy Prey TO
McArthur's Division.
Manila. March 3I-Malolos was taken
with Sigh, loss at o:3o this morning by
Gen. McArthur's division. The inhab
itants Of the city deserted their homes
and retired to Caluntiti. 90 miles hey ond
Malolos where the insurgents have es-
tabllshed new headquarters.
The fighting was continued for only a
short time when the rebels evacuated
the town leaving few volunteers to
burn the city. A few shots were ex.
changed. but NO material damage was in.
ficted.
The soldiers were in good spirits when
the advance was begun and were look
ing forward to no, time. The Nebraska
and South Dakota volunteers were the
only troops that had to fight. They mel
with slight opposition from the rebels
but soon put them to fight.
The loss was slight on the American
side. The strong In,renchments to the
south OF Malolos were deserted by the
enemy without shot.
Flags have been hos,ed aud guards
have been placed at Aguinaldo's head
quarters. Strong efforts had to be made
TO prevent the troops from looting. as the
retreating Filipinos left much valuable
stuff behind. The natives have retreat
ed to point 60 miles north OF Malolos
and the way thither is extremely rough
and uaversed by many nvers. The
American pursuit which will be begun at
once. must be necessarily very slow.

London. March 3I-The steamer Stella
plying between Jersey and Guernsey
stru k on Gaske, rock few miles of the
coast last night and of the I76 assengers
only eight are reported saved. While
more than this number have surely been
saved, it is certain that the loss of life
has been heavy. Captain Reeks went
down with his ship.
The in,ensest excitement followed the
striking OF the ship. 1t was loaded with
easter excursionsts from London and
Southampton, The fog was very thick
and the vessel ran out OF its course.
When the shock came, panic ensued
and 1t required the utmost efforts OF the
officers and some of the cooler heads to
keep the crowd from committing rash
deeds. The passengers were crowded
into boats. the women and children first,
but so little time was available that there
was no time to distribute life preservers.
The steamers Lynx and Vera were near
by and rescued several boat loads. Ali
available boats have been sent from
Guernsey. the nearest point to the wreck.
1t is difficult. to determine how many are
lost as none OF the rescue parties have
reported.

Guernsey at 2:4o says the number saved
from the Stella was 90. This would
make the number missing 81.

INTENSE SUFFERING
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH TROUBLE
Instantly Relieved and Permanently
Cured by stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
New Discovery, But Not a Pa ent
Medicine.

Dr. Redwell relates an interesting
account of what he considers a re-
markable cure of acute stomach trouble
and chronic dyspepsia by the use of
the new discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
He says: 1.-THE patient was man
who had suffered, TO my knowledge, for
years, with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create gases IN
the stomach: he had pains like rheu-
matism in the back, shoulder blades
and limbs, fullness and distress after
eating, poor appetite and loss of flesh;
the heart became affected, causing
palpitation and sleeplessness atnight
gave him powerful nerve tones and
blood remedies. but to no purpose. As
an experiment finally bought a fifty
cent package Of Staart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at a drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given and after be had usel four boxes
he was, to all appearances, fully cured !.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained betBee TO and II pounds in
weight of solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stewards Dyspepsia Tab
blets are advertised aud sold in drug
stores, yet | cor slider them a most
valuable addition to any physician s
line of remedies, as they are perfectly
harmless and can be given to children
or in a ids or in any condition of the
stomach with perfect safety, being
harmless and containing nothing but
fruit and vegetable essences, pure pep
sin and Golden Seal.
Without any qre tion they are the
safest, most effective cure for indiges-
tiCn, biliousness, constipation and all
derangeinent is Of the stomach, however
sight or severe"
Stuart,s Dyspepsia Tablets are made
