STILL CLING ToAFoRLoRN HOPE

The silver men will try new tack
to accomplish free coinage. The State
of Colorado is to be presented with a
silver brick weighing the equivalent
of one hundred silver dollars. The
State will send this to the u. S Mint
demanding that it be coined into 100
silver dollars. This demand of course
will be refused. Upon the refusal suit
will be entered in the United States
Supreme Court, claiming right under
the Constitution to demand that the
bullion be coined. The question will
be raised as to where the Constitution
lands the money question, and the
suit brought in the name of the State
of Colorado is to secure more rapid
action than otherwise would be given

EARNING FOR PROFIT.

A writer in an exchange tells of a
visit at the house Of a fruit grower
who has made his farm pay a big
profit. OF course, his orchard is
planted to standard varieties of trees
and they are properly cared for; the
fruit is marketed according to ap-
proved methods and it is presumed
yields about the same profits as other
carefully conducted fruit farms; but
what might be termed the adjuncts to
the fruit business were the features
which interested us. There were a

MR.. WILSON'S VIEWS ON SEEDS.

In his report of the work of the fed
eral department of agricultural for the
last fiscal year Secretary Wilson re-
views at some length the subject of the
seed distribution. He warmly defends
such distribution in so far as it ad-
heres to the original intention of con-
gress, which was to search for and
gather in various localities of the old
world useful seeds and plants to be dis
tributed in the United States to the
several regions where they would be
most likely to succeed. The depart
ment is at present endeavoring to bring
back the practice as much as possible
to this original intention, a large per
cent of the $4,000 appropriated being
now spent in securing, importing, and
distributing rare and useful seeds and
plants, He candidly admits the exist
ance of a strong feeling against the
seed distribution, and declares his own
conviction that in so far as the distri-
button of the same kinds of seeds with
no experimental feature OF intelligent
direction beyond what is provided by
dealers, it is questionable. But the
importation and distribution OF the

WITNESSES SAMPLED BEEF.

Washington, March 1.-The feature OF
the court of inquiry into General Miles
beef charges yesterday was an object
lesson in canned meats prepared by the
court and served to the non-commis-
stoned men who had previously testified.
The court had prepared eight plates OF
beef-fresh beef. canned beef that had
been to Cuba and back. and canned beef
fresh from the factory. Four plates were
prepared hot in a stew and four cold as
they came from the can, the fresh beef
being boiled to make ii resemble the
others. The enlisted men were ordered
TO sample ehch and say which was the
sort they had had in Cuba. Most of the
men declared that none OF the meat
looked anything like what they had eaten
in Cuba. BY repeated assurances that
there was campaign beef In two OF the
plates and after being urged that they
should at least choose Ito the best OF
their belief" the court succeeded in get
ting an expression Of opinion from each
OF the men. An army surgeon. DR..
Bowden, kept tally on the guesses OF the
men and changed the position Of the
plates after each witness had left the
room. The result of this record was not
made public however. and will be re-
served till DR.. Bowden testifies. prob
ably some time this week. Lieutenant
Ramsay, who had served as a commits
sary officer at Baiquiri and Santiago,
characterized the canned roast beef as

inferior meat" which he would not will

ON EXPANSION.
Lecture by frof lea'sy Of Brown Before The
fran.ln Society.

Prof. James G.. Dealey, OF Brown
University, spoke TO the members of the
Franklin society on Expansion of the
United States" The lecturer first spoke
of the territory occup by the colonies
in the early part OF the eighteenth cen
tury, gradually followed step by step
the expansion OF the United States up
to the time of the outbreak of the Span
ish-American war.
Prof Dealey did not think that the
Philippines ought to be annexed. His
reasons given, after referring TO the
sentiment for annexation by Dewey's
victory, was that ii involved a whole
change i'm the foreign policy and
breaking of the Monroe doctrine. He
was also fearful that this territory, 5000
miles away, would involve "entangling
alliances" which Washington warned
us against. Then he foresaw an in
crease in the Federal power. and "A
change i'm the internal government of
our states. Incidentally he said there
was some anology between the Filipinos
and the Indians.
Now we are on the edge OF a crisis,
OF changing from expansion to COLOMBIA
ton i'm our policy. which will be against
all our traditions" He then recited the
sentiment given by the Democrats i'm
Congress. stating that this proposed
new policy was not in accord with the
Declaration of Independence.
Prof. Dealey, i'm conclusion, said that
the sentiment that government should
derive it's just powers with the consent
OF the governed, was being better un-
derstood than il was before. and he
claimed that the governed must first
reach a certain state before this maxim
was made applicable.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not BE Alarmed, But Look For
The Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due 10 the
excitement and worry OF American
business life, IL is more often the re-
suit OF weak stomachs, OF poor diges-
ton.
Real organic disease is incurable but
not one case in 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 ef-
fected by the form of poor digestion.
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food. There is a feel
ing OF oppression and heavIuess ln the
chest caused by pressure of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs
interfering with their action. hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also pOisons the blood.
making 10 Thin and watery. which irri-
tates ana weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble Is 10 improve the diges-
tion and to incure the prompt asslmlla-
ton OF food.
This can De done by the regular use
after meals of some safe. pleasant and
effective digestive preparation. Ike
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. which may
be- found at most drug, stores and
which contain valuable. harmless di-
Eestivc eleniants In a pleasant conve-
nicnt form.
10 is safe to say that the regular per-
sistent use OF Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets at meal time will cure any form
OF stomach trouble except cancer Of the

Grays Put Up a Good Same OF Polo but Were

The Providence Grays went 10 Hart

the Grays opened with two goals i'm the

fords did i'm this game at Hartford.
Providence opened the second with a
goal, but the Indians got a couple of
fiuke goals in behind Heffernan and in
creased their lead.
The Hartfords, having the lead put
up a stronge defensive game, Everett

and joining i'm the attack. When they
did open the Hartford defence line by

Cusick defending his goal in phenomc-

stops he made were of the luckest sort
imaginable, for he never saw the bah
until IL hit him. The pressing forward
