BELLS ARREST.
Belief That Nothing More viii
Be Heard Of Newport
Firebug Case.

The arrest OF Denniston M. Bell, son
of DIR. c. NJ. Bell. of New York, on the
charge of incendiarism at Newport. is the
talk OF the city-by-the-sea, and although
much sympathy is expressed for the pa
rents of the young man, there is a feel
ing OF satisfaction that the people can
now rest easily.
The impression I'm Newport is that moth
ing more will be heard OF the case. Young
Bell at the instance OF his father will not
talk. and DR.. Bell is also silent. 1t is
said he pleads insanity for his SON.

TALK ON CHINA.
Rev. George \. Ewing, a Re-
turned Missionary, Talks at
Bensflcent Church Chapel.

Rev. George III. Ewing. who recently
arrived i'm this country from Paotlns-Fu,
China, spoke yesterday afternoon. before
the Woman's Auxiliary of the Foreign
Missionary society, In the chapel OF the
Benefcent church. His talk. which was
on the Chinese question. was full OF IN
terest.
Mr.. Ewing confined himself 20 three
thoughts. The evidence OF Providence in
the preparation OF the missionaries and
native Christians for the crucial period
OF the Boxers uprising: the evidence OF
Providence in the delIyerance 0f many,
and the present outlook Tor future adj
yancement OF the missionary cause.
The Boxer movement, he said. WAS an
anti-foreign movement. not anu-thris-
tlan. Ii was brought on by a series OF
circumstances having their origin IN the
war with Japan. and their elimination
in the siege OF Pekin.
During all this period aversion and
antpathy 10 foreigners were being inten-
sified by the Introduction Of railroads
throwing thousands out 81 employment,
by the attitude of Christian Powers In
demanding land indemnity and by vari-
Gus reforms repugnant to the Oriental
mind
Both high and low classes were in
cluded in the movement and melted to
their barbarfc butchery by high officials,
including the empress dowager, the fe-
male Nero OF the world.
Rev. Mr.. Ewing did not experience any
horrors or the siege OF Pekn, for he
was among the fortunate few who es-
capped To the more friendly soil of Japan
before the Boxer movement broke out
In all Its terrible violence.
As 10 the future OF tho work ne said
IL had already been resumed both in
educational Institutions and I'm chapels.

II is a matter of common repute I'm the
atricsl circles that musical acts are al

That fully ninety-four per cent Of the adult
population OF this country ere suffering from
dyspepsia in one form or another. shows that
some grave mistake has been made in the
treatments heretofore used for the cure OF this
disease, and medical science has of late
proven this to be true. We do not fear con-
ago all remedies for dyspepsia were manu-
featured under the mistaken impression that
food was sdigested in ,s, the stomach,
tritis, sour stomach, nervousness, ETC., were
diseases in themselves; when the truth OF
the matter is, food is not digested in the
stomach at all, only prepared by this or gan
for digestion by the intestiaes; and all the
disagre-ablc conditions enumerated above.
only symptoms of the disease and not
the disease itself. II is not surprising then
that no progress has ever been made in
curing dyspepsia or that the new remedy
manufactured with the knowledge of just
what causes the disease, should have been
so wonderfully successful. Dyspepsia Is n
germ disease wholly. These germs in the
stomach cause latulency, gastritis, sour
stomach, indigestion and nervousness. In
the intestines, bloating, pain. diarrhoea, ap-
pendicitis, biliorsness and constipation. So
long as they remain there 1t is impossible to
cure dyspepsia. Cathartics, pepsin, soda,
liver pills. etc, may relieve the symptoms,
but it Is only for short time, and then the
