HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not Re AIarmcd, But Looi. for
the Cause.

Do Not Re AIarmcd, But Look for
the Cause.
Heart troubles. at least among the
Americans. are certainly increasing, and
while this may be largely due to the eX-
citement and worry of American business
life. it is more often the result Of weak
stomachs. of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not cIs case in 4 hundred of heart trouble
is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves,
the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way. also, the heart is affect
ed by the form of poor digestion, which
causes gas and fermentation from half
dggsted fcod. There is a feeling Of oD
preston and heaviness in the chest caused
by pressure Of the distended stomach on
the heart and lungs, interfering with their
action; hence arise paipitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and 10
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular use after
meals OF some safe. pleasant and effective
digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores, and which contain val
liable, harmless digestive elements in a
pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular persist
ent use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time will cure any form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets sold
by druggists at so cents. Little book on
stomach troubles mailed free. Address

LIEUTENANT NEALL's FLIGHT.
\ YcIIoyv-Haircd Girl Mt the Hottom
of His Trouble.

San Francisco. Feb. l9.-The love OF an
other woman than his wife is the cause of
the disappearance OF Lieut.. John NJ. Neall
of the Fourth Cavalry, who is $500 short
in his canteen accounts. The woman is
Miss Vivian Alcott, Il blonde, who for
some months has resided at 334 Stockton
Street Miss Alcott. who says she belongs
to a prominent family in Brooklyn, n Y,
came to this city last August Lieutenant
Neall was introduced to her by Capt. W. S
Barnes. late district attorney of San Fran
cisco and an officer in the Sixth Regiment
recently mustered out Neal spent Il
great deal of money for jewels and other
presents for Miss AlcOtt. Miss Alcott
makes no secret of her relations with
Neail She wept when speaking of his
disappearance and said she would join him
at once if she knew his Whereabouts
Nealls disappearance, whether it be a
case OF flight or of suicide, has revealed
his double life and was a shock to many
of his friends in the army. He had been
considered kind and devoted to his wife
and children.

out. The ice which bound the vessels and
pleasure boats tied up at the Georgetown
wharves was smashed. making il possible
TO move them quickly should the necessity
arise.
Both channels al the draw of the Long
Bridge we're thoroughly cleaned. and the
ice around the bridge broken as much rs
possible. II is probable that several OF the
tugs will be sent today TO the structure TO
break the ice around the piers As mucn as
possible. Harbormaster Sutton tn nks that
if the ice passes out slowly, without a
great rise OF the waters danger at this
point will rot be great. hut If the ice ON
above comes down with a rush nothing
can be done TO prevent the formation OF j
gorge. He now hopes for wind from the
west or northwest to drive the broken ice
in the channels down stream. For the
next few days tugs VIII be kept constantly
passing through the broken ice for the
purpose Of grinding il st.ll finer AM push
ing it down stream.
HarbUImasler sutton is now OF the GpIn-
ion that 1t will he well to take part Of
his feet down the river today to open up
a channel - far as Indian Head. He think,
that it is well to provide in every way pos
sible against the threatened danger. The
more urgent work has row been done. and
the rapidity and thCroughness with which
HarboTmaster Sutton has accomplished II
is a matter OF favorable comment by those
who know the difficulties he had to contend
with.
The opinion Is freely expressed among
river men thai The channel cut by the Nor
folk boats below Marshall Hall is not more

Cleaning the Streets.
Washington thorouchfares were unusual
ly busy yesterday by reason Of the opera
tions of the men employed in removing the
snow under The supervision OF the Dis
trict Street Cleaning Department
Gratifying success attended their efforts
and more work was accomplished in ten
hours yesterday than during the preceding
forty-eight The results of the day S
work were more visible to the public eye.
This was due to the fact that the crusade
was against the snow on the surface of
streets instead Of in the cutters Its re-
moval from many downtown thorougniares
was a great relief.
More than 2,OC0 workme1 we're employed.
Three machine scrape.s. drawn by horses
and each operated by three men, were used
on some streets with good results These
machines were used only where the snow
had bsen partly removed and where the
principal thing that remained was slush.
Such were r Street and Pennsylvania Ave
nue.. As fast as the snow was removed
from the central roadway5 it was piled
along the cutters Numerous carts hauled
these piles TO various dumps, but their
work was naturally slower than that of
the shcvelers. Many piles remain 10 be re-
moved today.

FEEDING THE POOR.
Countess schimm eImann Sells Her
Jewels to Aid Needy Ones.

Chicago, Feb. 19-The hungry of Chicago
have eaten up the jewels of noble Danish
family. The Countess Schimmelmann, in
her efforts to feed the thousands who have
gone to her yacht tied up in the river, has
disposed of her jewels, and the proceeds
from the last ornament pearl necklace of
great value, are just disappearing in the
shape OF soup and bread.
The Countess told the West End club
women that she has provided for 10000 of
the unfed and unshelterel men of Chicago
since the Duen was equipped as kitchen
for the poor. The fortune which she in
herited has been spent in the work, largely
in other cities, and to maintain her char
tiles here she was obliged to convert her
jewels into cash.
The last" she said was a pearl neck
lace valued at many thousand marks. 1t
had to 90 that the poor might be fed. 1t
was valuable" she said with little laugh,
but not so dear as the thought of caring
for the unfortunate.

that the citizens of Chicago will continue

have shelter and food while they are in

Little Hope OF Early Action in the
Carter Case.

Carter Case.
The papers in the case Of Capt. o. NJ.
Garter United States Engineer Corps, who
was court t-martialed for the alleged mis-
appropriation Of about SlGOO,000 Of Gov
ernment FUNDS, are again in the hands of
the President after the sixth review Of
Ihe records and findings by the Attorney
General. but in spite of the very general
demand FOR a final disposition OF the case
there is little probability OF immediate
action.
Captain Carter is al present undergoing
the same sort of disgrace to which Eagan
was cOndemned-suspension with full pay,
and apparently the political as well as
social influence which he has been able 10
bring to bear on those in authority is
strong enough to prevent his removal from
that class.
Captain Barr, who assisted in the pros
ecution of Captain Carter, has completed
the review of the case, which he made at
the request of the Attorney General, and
has reported his inability TO find any ir-
regularity in the proceedings. He has
returned TO his pest and the papers and
findings. after being gone over again by
Attorney General Griggs, have been sent
back 10 the President. IL is the belief
now, however. that he will defer action
until after Congress adjourns on March
4, and then the matter may be allowed
TO rest until next December.
II is believed that II the case is not
disposed OF by the President before Com
gress reassembles neyf December a reso-
luton will be introduced in the House,
and the President will not be asked what
he intends to do until then. Army officers
consider the delay an outrage They
think that Captain Carter should either
be restored or dismissed, in accordance
with the findings of the court martial
which tried him.
Since his trial and suspension Captain
Carter has been accorded every privilege
by the President. The limits of his con-
hnement. he being nominally under arrest.
were at first extended 10 the District of
Columbia boundaries. Later they were ex-
tended to New York city. in order tina,
he might visit his family there, and he
has since spent most of his time in the
latter city. Occasionally. when there are
rumors that his case Is about to be acted
upon he appears in Washington.

1T Is Doing ImmeHsurabIe Damage
Along It's Path.
Richmond. Va, Feb. 19.-The immense
ice Jam az the head of navigation in the
James River is crushing everything before
it on both shores. BY the free use OF dyna-
mite yesterday the pressure on the South
ern Railroad Bridge at the foot of the rap
ids and On Mayo's Bridge hundred yards
below. was relieved and channels started
in the ice. Much of the jam above has
been broken up by the natural action OF
these channels, only to lodge in the bigger
icepack in front of the wharves. II has
piled up and expanded sideways until the
wharf of the old Dominion Company and
part OF its sheds are wreck, the big clus-
Ter Of piles at the wharf being broken like
pipes.ems The wharf and warehouse Of
the Virginia Navigation Company are
crushed into kindling wood, and the Clyde
Line wharf and buildings are little better
of. The pressure is heaTiest on the other
side of the river. where the ice is piled
agains. the bank thirty feet above water
level and has inflicted much damage 10
the big fertilizer plant on that side. The
blocking Of the entire channel has turned
the water of the river through the broad
meadow on the Chesterfield side of the
stream and the river is apparently cutting
a new channel through these valuable
lands. The extent of the damage cannot
be estimated from this cause until the
gorge is broken. In the large amount OF
floating property carried away by the ice
yesterday was the entire Government plant
used in improvements, consisting of
dredge- -hoisting apparatus and barges, all
OF which are aground with ice piled over
them. The river is falling and an efIor;
will be made tomorrow 10 break the gorge

IDEAL WHEAT LANn.
The Price of Lumber and the Tariff

From the Philadelphia Ledger Republican.
We publish in another column communication
on the lumber question from member OF the Lum-
bermen's Exchange of this city, who takes exeep-
ton to some remarks made by the Ledger on the
relation between the Dingley tariff and the recent
increased price which consumers are compelled to
nav for lumber The writer of the communication
contends that the Dingley tariff has nothing to DO
with the price of lumber, which he says IS hNed by
the inexorabe law of supply and demand, and he
denies that there is any lumber trust or combina-
ton. How could any trust control the 30 900 saw
mills in operation Y he naiVely asks and then vir-
tually admits that there is an efectual combination
by arguing in favor of the control OF the stun
mage by few as a safeguard against indiScrim-
mate cutting. II would be equally impractica bic
to form combination of the myriad OF grocery
stores in the United States and yet who VIII deny
that sugar is controlled by the sugar Trust? Grant
ing that the mill men and the manufacturers only
consult together" and suggest advances and
that there is no rigid combine, the lumber trade is
controlled just as effectively if the "stumpage' is
controlled by combine. If the source OF supply IS
in the hands of few men, lumber is as firmly
within the grasp of combine as sugar is. Our
CORRESPONDENT goes on To say:
Hard times over, general prosperity mas worked
a radical change. The difficulty today is, not to
make sale, but to secure the material needed
The West prosperous after years OF depression,
needs all the stock produced in their section"
The demand is greater, he argues, ana the higher
prices result That is true, no doubt, but why are
the lumbermen able so handiiy TO fix the high
prices, with Canadian lumber knocking for admiS.
son except by the grace of the eXorbitant and use
less Dlngley tariff on lumber, which blocks impor-
tatons and places 10000 900 consumersat the mercy
of the lumber trade? If the tariff ON lumber has
influence on prices why did the lumber interests
practically stop the negotiations between England
and this country for the settlement of disputes with
Canada, by fighting any reduction of the lumber
duty and why did they not rather, patriotic cit
izens urge the repeal of the useless tariff and in
turn secure concessions that would be of value to
this country and its people? If the tariff is of no
value to the lumber combine, why did the lumber
lobby have it inserted in the Tariff bi2 lfit is of
no benefit to the Lumber Trust, who is the bene-
fciary2 Certainly not the consumer. That the
duty was not really needed by the lumber interests
is clearly conceded by the writer of the communi-
