The Grand Lodge at the second session Of
its annual convention, held yesterday even
ing, adopted a proposition to establish the
national Pythian sanitarium at Hot Springs,
Ark, on the ground donated by act of
Congress, and this proposition is one that
the joint committee of the grand domains
of Illinois, Indiana and Missouri has
adopted, and which will be presented to all
of the grand domains within the supreme
jurisdiction. The grand domain of the Dis
trict of Columbia is the first domain to
adopt the resolution. 1t provides for a
levy of 81 per capita tax on the membership
of the lodge, payable at 10 cents semi-an-
nually for a period OF five years, but does
not become operative until it has been
adopted by the grand domains representing
5000 members.
The order of knights of Pythias has
membership of 100000, and the manner in
which it is raising the funds to COM
plete this project is one which places it
within the reach of all, regardless of his
station in life. AT the same time ii will
nrOyiGp sufficient n nd
nently endow the institution, which will
be the only one of its kind in the world

Some Facts Regarding the Rapid
Increase of Heart Troubles.
Do NOT BE ALARMED. But LOOK FOR THE
CAUSE


Heart troubles, al least among the Americans.
are certainly increasing. and while this may he
largely due to the excitement and worry Of Amer
lean business life. II is often the result Of
weak stomachs. Of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable: hut not one
case in hundred Of heart trouble is organic.
Tho close relation between heart trouble and poor
digestion is because both organs are controlled by
the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneu-
mogastric.
In another way. also the heart is affected by the
form Of poor digestion. which causes gas and fer
ment&tion from half-digested food There is a
feeling of oppression and heayiness in the chest,
caused by pressure Of the distended stomach on
the heart and lungs. interfering with their action;
hence arises palpitation and short breath
roor digestion also poisons the blood. making it
thin and watery, which irTitates and weakens the
heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart trouble is
to improve the digestion and to insure the prompt
assimilation Of food
This can be done by the regular after meals
Of some safe pleasant aud effective digestive prep
aration, like Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. which
may be found at mos; drug stores and which con-
tain valuable harmless digestive clements in a
pleasant, convenient form.
1t Is safe 10 say iat the regular, persistent use
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will
cure any form OF stomach trouble, except cancer
of the stomach.

INDUSTRIOUS DEAD
Mourning at inc Capital for
 Representative DinqIey.
The Funeral Ceremonies Will Take Place in inc Hall of inc House Tomorrow.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Profound sor- TOW was manifested today in every walk of public life in the announce men, that Nelson Dingley of Maine had passed away At the late home of MT. DinSley, Hamilton hCtel, there were many evidences of the deep personal es- teem in which he was held Messages Of cOndolence came from every quar- ter of the country and to these were added the personal o1ndolence of cabinet members, senators, supreme justices and members of the house.
 The house of representatives as sembled under circumstances of deep and universal sorrow in the death of MT. Dingley. As Speaker Reed entered the chamber hush fell upon the mem bers, who 8 moment later rose and with bowed heads listened to an elo- quent tribute from the chaplain, Rev. Dr. Gouden.
 MT Boutelle, senior member of the Maine delegation, offered and the house adopted, a series of resolutions pro viding for the funeral ceremonies in the hall of the house at noon-on Mon day and for a committee of nine mem bers to accompany the remains to Maine. The resolutions concluded wish a motion to adjourn.

and would delay the formal establish
 ment of an abiding peace
 The opposition in the senate while vehement in spots, lacks an organizing head. Senator Hear is good for few hours speech, but he is incapable either of a systematic canvass or of talking on a subject after he has ex- Ihausted the legitimate arguments. His literary sense and his mental habits are altogether opposed to anything like a filibustering debate, while in the
 practical machinery of legislative work,
 he is as helpless as a child. Senator Faulkner, who is next to MT. German
 the best organizer on the democratic side, is for the treaty, and Senator Cor
 man is not worrying himself much
 about encouraging the opposition So that MT. Jones of Arkansas will have
 to bear the brunt of the fight, and he
 is hardly equal to it.
 The statements of William J. Bryan and Richard Croler have had some in- fiuence here in discouraging whatever opposition to ratification existed MT. Croker's statement in particular is re- garded as important, because it is rec ognized that he speaks for what he be- lieyeS to be the popular sense of his party, and that so far as he can, he reflects the opinion of the men he meets in the street car and on the sidewalk What CroKer says is likely to have an influence on men like Senator Murphy of New York and Senator Smith of New Jersey, who have no profound convic- tions on the question, and look at it simply from the point of party expe- diency.
 As for MT. Bryan, when he an nounces himself in favor Of the rati- fc3tiOn of the treaty he pulls out a prop from beneath Senator Jones and the rest of the free silver contingent, which leaves them tottering in the air Without popular support, with the leaders of both wings of the party op- posed to them, and with pitiful mi nority in their own numbers, the op- pOnents of the treaty will have all they can do to keep up the fight even for a few days.

Barlin, Jan. 14.-United States Am bassador Mr. Andrew D.

What thinking men on eacn side wish to secure is ssinPIe inspec ton which will be valid throughout the empire and supersede the various local inspections which are often prompted by a panic arising from isO- lated trichinae eases, justly or unjust ly attributed to foreign meats.
 Regarding the question of acqui- sitions in the Pacific and elsewhere, the feeling of the two governments is excellent. The German foreign office shows every desire that this state of things should continue and German of ficial in every way work in harmony with the United States. In the Pacific as elsewhere there is not the slightest cause at pI esent for the slightest ill feeling arising out of the ambition of either power and al questions are be- ing steadily placed on a better footing"
