THE IDOL OF THE TURF.
The Most Popular Jockey in America
and England Recommends Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.

No jockey has ever appealed so
strongly to public favor as Tod Sloan.
He has achieved more than his most
noted predecessors ever attempted ana
stands in a class by himself.
Not satisfied with his successes in
his native country, he went to England
and now his fame as successful horse
man is on the tip of every tongue not
only in this country and England but
in every section of the globe where
racing has found favor.
When Tod first went to England his
temerity was openly laughed at, but
the little American played skittles with
his English rivals and his victories
made all England gasp
Having the stamp of royal approval,
society both at home and abroad lion
ize" him and he is feted and petted
to an extent that would turn an or
binary mortal'S head.
The great Jockey was in such demand
socially and dined and wined to such
an extent that it was feared his health
would give way. Too much society and
the nervous strain of racing told on
him.
A two weeks trip to America made
him acquainted with Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets and their remarkably
restorative effects on a depleted diges-
tive apparatus and he recommended
them in unstinted terms to a friend,
saying ''Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
the best thing know of for keeping
the stomach in condition and appetite
in good repair
Thousands of former dyspeptics can
vouch for the truth of Tod Sloan's
words. as "Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have become a household word in
America. and few families are without
them. One or two taken after meals
keep the stomach sweet by causing
prompt and healthy digestion of the
food.
Perfectly healthy people use them af-
ter heavy dinners to keep their good
health and to make sure that no i'll
effects will follow an unusually hearty
meal
Your druggist viii tell you or your
doctor either that Stuart's Dyspepsia.
Tablets are composed only of diges-
tive ferments, Asceptic Pepsin, Hydras-
tbs, fruit acids, etc, and for the strong
stomach as well as the most delicate
constitute a safeguard against indiges-
ton and stomach troubles.

a TEAM OF GIANTS.
How Missouri Will Line Up In the
Game at Warrensbure Today.

Columbia. Mo, Oct. 2.-The Missouri
university foot ball team is ready for
the first game of the season, to be
played with Warrensburg, October ?.
The Tigers are in fine shape and con-
fident. The team, however, is by no
means permanently organized. A num-
Der of changes will be made before the
team will be at it's best.
The lineup of the Tigers will be as
follows, with perhaps a few changes:
Howard. center, $50 pounds; Craig,
left guard, 189; Hunter, right guard,
240; West. left tackle, $50; Harting,
right tackle, 1856; Houx, quarter back,
$50; Dunn, left half back, 40; Kraemer,
right half back, 1853; Thurman, full
back, 1855; McCaslin, right end, 40;
Sanders, left end, $50. Among the sub
stituteS are: For half back, GoOdson,
Cooper and Anderson; for center,
Jewett; for right guard, Bohart; for
end, Black and Jenkins; for guard,
TOOlson and Washer. The aVera ge
weight of the team is about $50, which
shows that the Tigers this year will be
one of the heaviest teams ever put in
the field.
Coach T. G. White was delighted at
the result of the practice today, and be-
lieves the team will be a winner The
enrolment in the football association,
which has just been reorganized, is
largely increasing. New foot ball suits
have been purchased with 5000 ad-
Vanced by the manager of the associa-
ton, w. @. Lucas.

oR1r1o1sEs THE YACHTS.
Expert Half Says Columbia and Sham
rock Are Too Lightly Constructed.

New York, Oct. Hank C. Half said
today: There is a limit to all things,
even in yacht construction. Unless all
signs fail the designers and builders
of the Columbia and the Shamrock
have tied down the safety valve and
are trusting to luck to carry their pro-
auctions through the coming series of
bias steel masts and the Shamrock's
aluminium gait are but forerunners of
a general breakdown in case the yachts
encounter a good-sized blow off the
Hook.
Now, on top of the various nishaps
comes the announcement that the
Shamrock's hull, in spite of all the skill
of it's designer and the genius Of the
ThorneycrOfts, is not true and that it's
hull is at least three inches out of
plumb.
sir Thomas Upton and Designer
Fife will probably deny that this is so,
but it is true just the same, as Super
intendent Dickey and any of the ma
chinists who have charge of the dock
ing of the cup challenger will admit if
they are allowed to talk
Those who have followed the trial
spins of the Shamrock are certain that
it sailed faster on the starboard tack
than on the port; that it made more
fuss in the water and left 9. less even
wake when on the port tack. To make
the statement that a yacht, especially
a yacht like the Shamrock. sails better
on one side than the other seems al
most absurd, yet such is the case.
1T was noticed when the Shamrock
was being locked at the Erie basin
Wednesday that the dockmaster had
considerable trouble getting it in posi-
ton over the keel blocks. The dock

NEGRO HOT WEATHER.

IFrom the Jacksonville Times-Union,1
It has often been said that the capacity
of the negro race for enduring heat has
never been fully tested. An incident re-
lated by a dairyman living on the out
skirts of the city seems to bear out this
assertion. He has young negro boy,
who looks after the cattle and does
chores around the place. The only effect
that the heat produces in his case Is a
desire to .slumber. The dairyman had a
young calf in the barnyard and as the
sun was pouring in on the poor animal
his wife sent ''Carlina'' out to turn the
calf loose, so that he could seek a shady
spot After waiting hour for his re-
turn the housewife went to the barnyard
to investigate. There she found both boy
and calf curled up in the hot and sitting
barnyard. The calf was dead from the
effects of the sun, but the boy was sluln-
bering peacefully by its side.
While a negro can stand any amount OF
heat on his head. he loves to cool his
heels. 1t is a common sight in the winter
to see a negro boy on a frosty morning
with his head bundled up to keep out the
cold. and at the same time walking un-
concernedly along the frosty. ground in
his bare feet. One OF the hottest places
in the city on a hot day is at the lumber
wharves of the Florida Central and PEN
insuIar railroad. When the men knock
off for noon they frequently take a nap
with their faces upturned to the rays OF
the blazing sun: at the same time they
get their feet under the shadow Of some
friendly lumber pile.

out his hand and then withdrew it.
Mayor Van Wyck then seized the OPP
portunity thus offered to get away, and,
placing his hand upon the elbow Of Adj
miral Dewey'S right arm, escorted him
out through the door. AS Admiral
Dewey was leaving the room there was
a burst of applause and he turned and
waved a salute with his hand as he dis
appeared behind the heavy curtains.
Mayor Harrison expressed himself as
we'll pleased with the reception given
him and the committee. When asked if
he thought that Admiral Dewey would
go to Chicago, he looked surprised and
said: GO? OF course. he will. Didn't
he say he would go sometime? That's
all we came for-tO get his promise to
go whenever he pleased"
The corridors of the Waldorf-AstOria
were thronged all day with people anx-
ious to catch a glimpse of the great adj
miral. Early in the morning they be-
gan TO come in and they were coming
and going all day. But none of them
had the pleasure of seeing Dewey. He
was not down in the corridors of the
hotel at any time. When he was escort
ed to the room to meet the Chicago
delegation, he was taken down a pri-
vate stairway and returned the same
way. In every conceivable manner, his
movements were guarded to KEEP the
curious crowd from getting near him.

CAN SHAKE HANDS.
If the Victim Breaks a Leg as a
Result 1t is Not Your Fault.

"A jury in the district court has de-
cided that $1,000 damages could not be
recovered for a handshake.
1t was shown by the evidence that
the handshake was a violent one, and
that directly or indirectly an old lady
fractured her leg as a result. But the
twelve jurymen unanimously agreed
that they could not establish such a
dangerous precedent as recovery for
personal injuries resulting from hand
shake.
The case was that of Sarah Norlin, an
aged Swedish lady, against Charles
Eckstrom, a gentleman of the same ma
tiOnal extraction, but considerably bet
ter of in a financial way than his coun-
tryWOman 1t constituted something
of a Swedish session of court, as Mrs.
Norlin has been unable during her resi-
dence in this country to figure out the
1d1oSyncras1eS of the English language,
and was compelled to secure the ser
vices of Jailer Carl Lawson as an in
terpreter. She stated on the witness
stand that in July of last year she went
to Mr.. EekstrOn'S house on a visit, and
that in shaking hands with her he pull
ed her about the floor in a violent man
ner and finally administered a jerk that
caused her to assume sitting posture
on the floor. In taking this position the
bones Of one of her legs were fractured.
As a defense Mr.. EckStrOm said that
Mrs. NOrlin fell in attemr ting to sit
on a chair after he had released her
hand. He admitted having a habit of
meeting his guests enthusiastically. 1t
was shown that Mr.. Eckstrom had paid
for the medical services rendered Mrs.
the jury decided that he had done
enough in doing this.

master, after hauling the yacht in the
center of the dock, endeavored to strike
the center of the keel blocks by hang
ing a plumbob over the stern, but try
as he would he could not strike the CEN
ter of the blocks by this method, and he
finally came to the conclusion that the
.Shamrock's stern was out of true.
"A plumbline dropped from the center
of the yachts stern would show that
the stern of the yacht was twisted
about two and half inches to star
board and by standing on the dock.
fair astern of the yacht, and looking
at the turn of the rail, one could de-
tect a slight fullness in the starboard
that is not apparent in the port. OF
course, this is fault of the builder.
There is no doubt but that the Thorney-
crofts have built the boat true to the
design, but it evidently is the case that
the yacht has been so lightly construct
ed that either in the trip across the
Atlantic or in the trial spins it has
been strained out of shape If it has
been twisted so much already, how
much more will it give and bend if
caught in half a gale in one of the cup
raceS?''

ON the announce GEN. HEUREAUx..
ment of the presidents death Vice-Pres-
ident Gen. Wenceslao Figuereom assum-
ed control Of the government Of the Do
minion.
Several attempts have been made be-
fore to take the life of President Heu-
reaux, but they were frustrated. On one
occasion while passing through the arch
ed entrance to the palace between lines
of guards his quick eye caught one of the
soldiers, who appeared to lower his rifle
in his direction. Quickly pulling re-
volver he shot the man dead in his tracks,
passed on to his private Office, where he
gave orders to remove dead man lying
at the main entrance.
Gen. Heureaux was born in Porto
Plata in 1876 and served in the war
against Spain from 1868 to 1874. Later
he was put at the head of the advanced
Dominicans, who sought to improve their
country by inducing foreign capital to 10
cate on the island. AS he advanced all
the wealthy inhabitants joined his forces
and when he arrived at the gates OF the
historic city of Santo Domingo he was
chosen president of the republic and serv-
ed his term Of four years. AT the ex.
piration of every four years an electoral
college assemblies in the city to vote for
a president for the following term, but
owing to Gen. Heureaux's popularity
and ability he has always been unani-
mously reelected and was serving his
fifth term
