Den Cleaned Out

There was an effort made Monday
night to have fire in Marion, but it
vas a failure. The old two-story
shack near the Christian church by
some hook or crook caught fire and
but for the heroic efforts and yells of
the doz,n or more negroes Of all sizes
and styles who occupied it, there
would have been a good blaze. 1t had
been raining, and probably by some
perversiou OF nature, it rained oil on
one corner of the building, and this
caught fre-sportaneous combustion
it is supposed. 1t was discovered and
The flames quenched.
The house is usually occupied by a
lew colored families, and various rem
nants Of other families with a lew odd
numbers thrown in occasionally tor
good count. The character OF the
house has not been like Caesars wife
above suspicion, and the people OF
that portion Of town were not proud
of il.
A few days ago case Of the famous
breaking out" was discovered there
aud one denizen was taken to the pest
house. After the fire, the ether mem
bers OF the household moved out. and
the owner will tear it down, possibly
to prevent another effort of ,ature 10

ANY man OF ordinary intelligence can drive
motor wagon" said one OF the veteran drivers
"and. on the whole, the Job requires less work
and is attended with less risk than driving
horses. A man who knows anything about driv-
ing in city, who has had experience in getting
through crowds and blocks. should be able 10
learn how TO get along with one OF these car
riages after an hours instruction. Fifteen min
utes was enough for me. and ] was as near
perfect in the matter Of driving then as l shall
ever be"
At the office OF the Electric Cab Company it
was said that the drivers are instructed and
carefully examined before carriage is placed
in their charge. The method Of instruction is
simple, and includes nothing OF a scientific nat
ure. The pupil simply knows that by moving
certain handles or levers the machine will be
set IN motion. and that other movements will
bring the mechanism to a stop. ard that the
speed may be regulated by the manipulation OF
certain parts within easy reach.
The man is placed on the box with expert
enced man at his side and. after he has learned
how to start and how TO stop the carriage, sew
eral turns" are taken on a street which has
an asphalt pavement. That's the dead easy
part" said the old timer but then the teacher
steers the thing into streets where the pave
ment is rough, and where he knows there are
holes and bad spots. He goes along the lire Of
the cars and crosses the tracks, turns corners
and backs up, gets into thick places If posi-
BILE and, when he's all done with part driving
and part letting the new man do it, the carriage
is run back to the headquarters and the new
man gets chance to go it alone"
on his first trip alone the new driver has the
superintendent Of the line for passenger, and
the trip is a long and a hard one. 1t includes
as many unnviting and undesirable places as
the superintendent can think of, and If the
driver goes through the work in a satisfactory
way he is placed in charge Of q wagon.
The selections Of drivers seem to have been
fortunate thus far. because accidents have been
few and of a trivial nature. and it is believed
that enough men have already been educated in
the art of handling the horssess carriage 10

MOTOR-CARRIAGE DRIVERS
THE BRIEF AND SIMPLE TRAINING THEY
REQUIRE.

The motor carriage. which has outlived the
curiosity stage and is looked upon by many
people the only reliable means Of surface
travel when the streets become chOked with
snow. has received additional Endorsement
through the action Of the purchasers Of the
Fifth-ave. stage line. who say that the old
fashioned ramshackle vehicles will be super
seeded by automobile stages OF the newest and
most improved pattern The motor carriages
which are now in use in NewYork are netting
their owners = handsome revenue and the scep-
tics who predicted accident and disaster in con-
nection with the horseless vehicles have had no
opportunity to say Il told you so"
1t was believed by many people who had no
practical knowledge Of automobiles that il
would require expert mechanics to manipulate
them and that even these would find il difficult
to ill all the requirements. As a matter Of
fact the mechanic plays no part in the list
of horseless carriage employees, except in the
department where the batteries are taken from
the carriages. charged with electricity and
placed back in the carriage.
Drivers are usually selected from the hack
driving fraternity and men who know all about
the streets OF New-York and bring certificates
as 10 their sobrety and attention to duty are
readily accepted for the work

THEY RlDIGlJtE
Many People Rldicui- the Idea ot an Alb solute Gars for Dyspepsia and
 Stoma ch Troubles.
RldicuIe, However, is not Argument, and
 Facts are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases, so obstinate to cure that people are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to be radical permanent cure for dyspepsia and in : digestion Many such pride them selves on theirEacuteness in never be- ing hum bugged, especially in medi- cines.
 Thls fear of being humbugged can be carried too far, so far, in fact, that many people suffer for years with weak digestion rather than risk little time and money in faithfully testing the claims made of a preparation so rella- hie and universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important re- speet from ordinary proprietary medi- clnes for the reason that they are not a secret patent medicine, no secret IS made of their ingredients but andy sis shows them to contain the natural digestive terments, pure aseptle pep sin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bjsmuth, hydrastls and nuX. They are not cathartic, neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they cure indigestion on the common sense plan of digpstlng the food eaten thor oughly before 1t has time to ferment, sour and cause the mischief This is the only secret of thelr success.
 Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach troubles because they act entirely on tue bowels, where as the whole trouble is really in the stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food. That is all there is to it. Food not dlgested or half digested is poison as it creates gas, acidlty, headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and appetite and many other tropDles N hieh are of ten called by some other name.
