wealth that surrounds every one who will
only gather up r1ne sunbeams lying all
around his path, make the most of his OPP
portunlties and perform his simple daily
duty. DR.. Conwell is considered one of the
best lecturers in the United States, though
his busy life affords little time for the lee
ture platform. When he does consent to
make a short lecture tour he commands as
high fees as any lecturer IN America This

course. DIR. D. j. Stafford. the Catholic

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
ON SOUTH HIGHLANDS
Residences of E. II. StolIenwerek and j. L.
Yancey Almost Totally Destroyed.
Loss More Than $4,000

The beautiful homes of E. F. Sfollen-
werck and ]. L. Yancey, on the South
Highlands at Sixteenth street and Elev-
enth avenue, were almost totally destroyed
by fire last night. The flames also reached
the two adjoining houses, but the damage
in both instances was merely nominal. The
damage to the homes of Messrs. Yancey
and Stollenwerck will amount to something
over $1,000.
The alarm was turned in at $40 yesterday
evening, but on account of the long run
when the Southside department arrived the
Stollenwerek home was mass of flames.
The efforts of the firemen were then turned
to the Yaneey residence, but the fire had
gained such Roadway 1t was impossible to
save the building. One truck from the
Northside department was then called out,
adjoining houses, the roofs of which were
slightly burned.
The fire started in the Stollenwerck resi-
dence, and was evidently caused from de-
fective fue. This was frame building,
and the flames spread rapidly. The oecu-
pants of the house ran to alarm box
and called the fire department.. The fire.
men made a quick run, hut not in time to
save either of the residences.
1t is thought that the loss /. fully COW

United Daughters Of the Codfe :
eracy to Convene al Ala
bama's Capital. IF. "a

Richmond, va, November 11.-At the
morning session of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy the following letter was
received from Mrs. Jefferson Davis:
ITO the Daughters of the Confederacy, my
Friends, and Countrywomen:
accept my grateful acknowledgements
and those of my daughter, Mrs. Hayes, for
the splendid manifestation of your love and
esteem for my Winnie. For the short REM
nant of life left to me it will be a never
failing source of happiness to me and to
her sister Another and overcoming
source of satisfaction to us is that you
have graciously assumed the controlling
and active interest in the effort to build the
Confederate monument to my husbands
memory. Such a manifestation of approval
from his own beloved people will be the
richest heritage you could confer upon his
child and her descendants. Whether your
noble efforts crowned with success or
not we shall know your patriotic hearts are
in the work and love you for what you
have striven to accomplish. l thank you
with all my heart for your loving welcome
and hospitality during our visit here and
beg yeu to believe me with cordial appre-
ciation."
The convention endorsed the movement
of several gentlemen to buy Beauvoir and
turn it into a home for Confederate soldiers
and sailors. Mrs Davis offers to sell
Beauvor for that purpose for $4,000.
The idea of the promoters of the scheme
of the purchase is at present to issue GER
tifeates of one Dollar each and sell them
throughout the south. 1t is probable that
General Fitzhugh Lee, General Joe Wheel
er or some other distinguished ex-confed-
crate will be asked to accept the position
of president of the association, which will
be known as the Southern Home Associa-
ton for Confederate Veterans, and that
vice presidents will be appointed in each
state.
A resolution was adopted providing for a
committee of three from each state to be
known as a museum committee. This COM
mittee will have charge of the interests of
the confederate museum before its respec-
tive state division. The resolution pro-
vided further that each state and each
chapter appropriate a certain amount for
maintenance and enrichment of the mu-
scum.
Mrs. John C. Brown moved that Mrs. e.
O. Weed, of Jacksonville, Fla. wife of
Bishop Weed of Florida, be elected presi-
dent of the United Daughters by acclama-
ton This was done. The other officers
elected are; ~ te
Mrs. William Reed, of New York, first
vice president. 1913
Mrs. F. t. Mccullough, of Stauntons Va,
second vice president.
Mrs. John X. Hickman, of Nashville,

corresponding secretary. .5Sr-' -

residence on Connecticut avenue, which, if
anything. is even lerger than her own. Here
she has been accustomed to give palacal
entertainments. The home presented to
Admiral Dewey would not accommodate
one-tenth of those whom she is accustomed
to invite to her receptions. The delima con-
fronts her now of either combining herself
to small and select affairs or else leaving
the house which was made a present to the
admiral by the people of the country.
Her friends predict that she will do this
another season. Mrs. Hazen is a good poll
tician. Her brother, John f. Mclean, once
said that she knew more politics in a day
than he knew In year. Possibly he feels
convinced of this since his defeat in Ohio.
The gossip in the drawing rooms have it
that Mrs Hazen will work for the white
house. She may be able to overcome the
admirals adversely to politics. Those who
know her and are best acquainted with her
ambitions freely predict that this will be
one of her efforts at any rate. Mrs. Ha-
zen's age appears In the marriage license
as 49, Her friends are saying that the adj
mirals secretary misunderstood the age
given him and mistook forty-thTee for fifty
three. Mrs. Dewey doesn't look over fifty
three, though even a wider margin are
given by some.
A woman's age Is her own affair, how
ever, even her contemporaries have no
right to go behind the returns.
The politicians are watching the effect
of married life with some uneasiness. The
general opinion is that Mrs Dewey will
throw her weight in favor of her husband
entering politics and accepting the presiden-
tial nomination f offered him. To woman
who has always lived in Washington the
role of First Lady in the land Is tempt
ing one. On the other hand it now seems
too late fer the admiral to think of. such
a thing, even if the ambitious bride could
make him reconsider his expressed determ-
nation. The leaders in the republicanparty
are almost a unit in favor of the rem otnila-
ton of Mckinley and the democrats could
hardly make use of the admiral, no matter
how much they may admire him, as pres-
dental timber.

There is much Indignation among the
friends of Richard Taylor and Miss Leonora
Trim, of Tuscaloosa, over The report that
they were married at Bessemer on Friday
last
The report probably originated with "a
practical Joker, and is entirely erroneous.
The young people, accompanied by several
friends came up on tine same train from
Tuscaloosa and get off at Bessemer to visit
friends at Brighton. The minister who is
said to have performed The ceremony was
not in Bessemer at the time, and the re-
port has caused great embarra ssment.

MYSTERIOUS KILLING
Florence Crosby Shot in the Abdomen
at Her Home

Florence Crosby negress, was shot and
killed at her home in Avenue c, between
Twentieth and Twenty-first streets, last
night. The ball struck her in the abdomen,
and was fired from a 3S.caIibre revolver.
No one can be found who witnessed the
tragedy, and it is supposed that the shoot
ing was an accident or that the woman
committed suicide Her dress was scorched
by the exploded powder, showing that the
shot was fired at close range.
Coroner Dallas was summoned, and made
a careful examination of the wound, and
took the evidence of two or three men. He
Is not yet certain that an inquest is neces-
sary, as the woman probably committed
suicide.
The case will be further investigated to-
day.

BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little Benefit Unless it is Digested

Nearly everyone will admit that as ma
tion we eat too much meat and too little
of vegetables and the grains
For business men, office men ana clerks,
and in fact every one engaged in sedentary
or indoor occupations, grains iillih an"
vegetables are much more healthlui'
Only men engaged in a severe out aoor
manual labor can live on heavy meat diet
and continue in health.
As a general rule, meat once DAY Is SUI
fcient for all classes OF men, women anu
children and grains, fruit and VegetapleS
should constitute the bulk of food eaten.
Iut many of the most nutritious 1ooas
are difficult of digestion and it is of no use
TO advise brain workers 10 eat largely Oh
grains and vegetables where the digestion
is too weak too assimilate them properly
1t Is always best to get the best results
from our food that some simple and harm-
less digestive should be taken after meals
to assist the relaxed digestive organs, ana
several wears experience have proven
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to be a very
safe, pleasant and effective digestive ana
a remedy which may be taken daily with
the best results.
stnart,s dyspepsia Tablets can hardly he
called patent medicine, as they do not act
on the bowels nor any particular organ but
only on the food eaten. They supply what
weak stomachs lack, pepsin diastase and by
stimulating the gastric glands increase the
natural secretion of hydrocarbons acld
People who make a daily practice of tax
ing one of two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets after each meal are sure to have per-
feet digestion which means perfect health.
There Is no danger of forming an in1uri-
Gus habit as the tablets contain absolutely
nothing but natural digestives: cocaine.
morphine and similar drugs have no place
in a stomach medicine and Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are certainly the best known
and most popular of all stomach remedies.
Ask your druggist for a fifty cents pack
age of STARTS Dyspepsia Tablets and after
q weeks use note the improvement in
1iea1th annetite and nervous energy.
