No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medi-

is lost sight of. The stomach is the
organ to be looked after
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach,
nor perhaps any of the usual symp-
toms of stomach weakness. Nervous
dyspepsia shows itself not in the sLom-

The car is very lucky man. He
inspires proverbs. and every one
knows that when sovereign begins to
inspire proverbs he is pretty nearly
ready to become a great man. Here
ere few of the wise sayings which
owe their inspiration to the ruler of
al the Russias: "The car is very
powerful, but he is not the All Pow
erful." 1.-THE car is naturally cous-
in to God. but he is not his brother"
"a tear in the eye of the car costs
the country many handkerchiefs. /"

Used His Brains.

Sometime ago brakeman on the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad used his
brains and saved a passenger train
from running into two derailed cars.
The Company sent him a check for
$50 and posted bulletin compliment
ing him for his quickness of thought.
A few days later, Engineer John Hag-
erty was oiling his engine at Connells-
vile, while waiting for the passengers
to alight. He heard another train
coming and believed that it was not
under proper control. He sprang into
his cab, opened the throttle and start
ed his train. The other engine struck
the rear car but it was not hard blow
and Hagerty's promptness saved ten
or a dozen lives. The Company has
ordered a handsome gold watch, suit
ably inscribed, and gold chain for
Engineer Hagerty, as a reward for his
devotion to duty and using his
brains in time OF emergency.

| His participation in the business life
and the lawmaking body of his native
state was marked by answering fidel-
ity and by high order OF talents and
attainments; and his too brief career
as vice-president of the United States
and president Of the senate exhibited
the loftiest qualities Of upright and sa-
gacious craftsmanship. In the world
OF affairs he had few equals among his
contemporaries. His private character
was gentle and noble. He will long be
mourned by his friends as man of
singular purity and attractiveness,
whose sweetness of disposition won all
hearts, while his elevated purposes, his
unbending integrity, and whole-heart-
ed devotion to the public good deserved
and acquired universal respect and es-
TEEN.
In Borrowing testimony of the loss
which has fallen upon the country, l
direct that on the day of the funeral,
the executive officers Of the United
States shall he closed and all stations
Of the army and navy shall display the
national flag at halfmast. and that the
representatives of the United States in
foreign countries shall pay appropri-
ate tribute to the illustrious dead for a
! period Of thirty days.
In witness whereof I have set my
hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.

afterward admitted to the bar. In law
ne found his proper sphere, and his
success was immediate and striking.
The remarkable career of business and
political success which followed
showed combination of natural abil-
ily. energy and popularity which has
rarely been equaled.
July 21, 1869, Hobart married Jennie
futile, only daughter of his first
patron and law partner. His home
life always held a leading part in his
affections, Notwithstanding his many
business and political cares, and was
a model Of conjugal felicity. His wife
and two children, Fannie B. and Gar.
lst A., Jr.. survive him.
IL 1871 Hobart was elected a mem
her of the city council of Paterson, his
first public Office. In November, 1872,
he was elected Republican member Of
the state legislature by the largest
majority that the district had ever
given. The next year he was re-elect-
cd and chosen speaker Of the house.
In accordance with Tile traditions of the
party in his state he refused to be q
candidate for a third term, though
strongly urged by his constituents.
Though raised Democrat, Hobart
always thoroughly Endorsed the prin-
ciples OF the Republican party, and
soon became power in the politics OF
the state. In 1876 he was elected to
the state senate by plurality double
that Of Hayes for president, and in
1879 was reelected. He became presi-
dent Of that body in 1881. The stat
utes OF New Jersey will show Hobart's
influence upon them, especially in mat
ters Of reform, in which he always took
a leading part.
From 1880 to 1891 he was chairman
OF the state Republican committee, and

The season approaches when ones
thoughts turn toward a place where
the Inconvenience of Northern win

country offers such ideal spots as the
Gulf Coast on the line of the Louisville

and New Orleans. It possesses mild
climate, pure air. even temperature
and facilities for hunting and fishing
enjoyed by no other section. Accom-.
modations for visitors are frst-class,
and can be secured at moderate prices.

somewhat impaticntly, read few
lines, folded it and said: "Ah, you
