Police Had No Evidence Against
John s. Dodge.
John S. Dodge. who was arrested as a
suspicious character yesterday after by De-
tectives Helan and Boyd, was released from
custody this morning, as the police had no
evidence against him.
Mr.. Dodge denied and established proof
of the fact that he has ever been incarcer-
ated in a penitentiary and Jail, with the
exception of a period of three months in
the District Jail as an alleged pension
fraud. 1t was proved at that time that the
man was no fraud but was suffering from
complication of nervous diseases con-
tracted while in the service of the United
States during the Civil War.
Mr. Dodge says he has never used, an
alias except during term@in the Secret
Service of the United States during the
war when he was known as Charles e. Les
lie. During the Worlds Fair at Chicago
he was inspector of police and since that
time has worked continuously at different
occupations. At present he is engaged in
convassing for Charles Scribner's Sons and
has been in Washington about year.
The report that he has been arrested in
a number Of Eastern and Western cities

well known in Grand Army CIRCLES and has
quite number of friends in this city.

INTENSE SUFFERING
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLE
Instantly Relieved and Permanently
Cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
A New Discovery. But Not a Patent
Medicine.

DIR. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers remarkable
cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic
dyspepsia by the use of the new discovery
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He saws: THE patient was a man who
had suffered, to my knowledge for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate seemed
to sour and create gases in the stomach; !;
he had pains like rheumatism in the back.
shoulder blades. and limbs, fullness and
distress after eating, poor appetite and loss
of flesh; the heart became affected, causing
palpitation and sleeplessness at night.
Il gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. AS an
experiment I finally bought a ffty-cent
package of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets at a
drug store and gave them to him. Almost
immediate relief was given and after he
had used four boxes he was to all appear
ances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour wa
terry risings. no bloating after meals, the
appetite was vigorous, and he has gained
between ten and twelve pounds in weight
of solid, healthy flesh.
although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
advertised and sold in drug stores, yet l
consider them a most valuable addition to
any physician s line of remedies, as they
are perfectly harmless and can be given to
children or invalds or IN any condition of
the stomach with perfect safety. being
harmless and containing nothing but fruit
and vegetable essences, pure pepsin and
Golden Seal
without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indigestion,
biliousness, constipation, and all derange-
ments of the stomach, however slight OF
severe
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made by

and are sold by druggists everywhere at SO
cents per package.

Luxurious New York.
From the New York SIM,


An American who has resided abroad for
the last twenty years, and whose oppor-
tunities for gastronomic indulgence an1
observation have been exceptional, has
since his return 10 this country last au-
tumn. evailed himself of many occasions
TO study from the point of view of Euro
pean standards the epicurean develop
ment of New York during the last two de-
cades. His establishment is unbounded
over the prodigious luxury OF certain priv
ate houses of the town. There is little or
nothing that approaches it in Europe
Whatever the character of the decorations.
whether it be Louis XIV or Louis XIV
Chinese or Japanese, it surpasses in COM
pleteness of detail, if possible, the origi-
nails Nowhere abroad has he encountered
such perfection of table equipment not ex-
cepting that found in the great houses OF
London and Paris. While in the latter the
display of gold and silver plate the accu-
mutation of generations, is magnificent in
quality and profusion on special occasions,
the American standard is equally high In
the lavish use of costly flowers in table
decoration there is nothing to approach
New York dinner tables abroad.
OF American gastronomic superiority
this observer is not disposed to speak so
enthusiastically. In Europe among cpl
curean connoisseurs the effort appears to
be to secure supreme results from common
place ailments, by preparing and eating
them properly. Here he finds that only
de cacies are acceptable. and those are
used with a lavishness and lack of dis
elimination unknown elsewhere. More
over, there is uniformity in the prepara-
tion of these that suggests rather the out
put of caterer, the product of a common
kitchen, than distinctive treatment by the
individual cook. He sees little evidence
of learned or cultivated epicureanism,
rather a certain quality of greedy eager
ness, that of people who are brought face
to face with a new pleasure which they
spoil through overindulgence. This ex-
travagant use of costly delicacies is one
that no foreigner, however great his fl
nancial resources, would tolerate except
upon very rare occasions. The prodigal
feeding habit of Americans fairly astound-
ed this observer when he studied its mani
festaticns at the great restaurants There
very ordinary looking people as we'll as
these wearing an air of distinction appear
to search the menu for the costliest con-
coctions. In fact, the sole guide In choice
seemed based ON the commercial value of
the article. The impression conveyed is
that gastronomic taste here will not te-
come general until. through increase Of
population and greater demand, the deli
cacies now abundant become practically
unattainable and people are forced to in
sist upon higher culinary skill in prepar-
ing commonplace ailments.

which would be garnished with eolored
lamps. Nine. Pereha Giverne suggests that
a cupola containing restaurant should be
put She also proposes that the cupoia in
question should revolve, thus allowing peo-
pie, while eating their luncheons or din
ners, to get bird's-eye view OF the differ
ent departments of the exhibition. There
is, of course. to be no climbing in this

something after the Eiffel plan. The COM

colossal umbrella project that they have

can be carried out as a practical scheme
and Ii sufficient space can be afforded for
it in the Champ de Mars.
