CsTA,RH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, Hut safe and Ell
fectuaI Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable. The
usual symptoms are a full or bloating SEN
sation after eating, accompanied sometimes
with sour or watery risings, formation OF
gases, causing pressure on the heart ana
lungs and difficult breathing, headaches.
tickle appetite nervousness. and general
played out, languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the month,
coated tongue. and If the interior of the
stomach could be seen It would show a
Shiny infismed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before ii has time to ferment and
irritate the delicate mucous surfaces OF the
stomach To secure prompt and healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing TO do,
and when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson. the safest
and best treatment is to use after each meal
a tablet composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pep
sin a little Nux Golden Seal, and fruit
acids. These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores under the name Of Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being patent
medicine. can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite and
thorough digestion will follow their regular
use after meals.
Mr.. y. J. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn Street,
Chicago. H.. writes: "Catarrh is a local
condition. resulting from neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes iniiamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches the stom-
ach, thus producing catarrh of the stom-
ach. Medical authorities prescribed for
me for three years for catarrh of stomach
without cure, but today ! am the happiest

pirate words TO express my good feeling.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form of
indigestion. catarrh of stomach, bilious

THE MOTORCYCLE ERA.
4 Prediction That the Wheel Trade
VIII he Re,olutionized.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-"ln five years
from now there will be as many motor
cycles in use in America as there are safe
ty bicycles in use now. In less than that
time the men who are making fortunes in
the manufacture of the wheels now in
vogue Will be making second fortunes in
the manufacture of motorcycles
This statement was made yesterday
at the Cycle and Automobile Show in
Madison Square Garden by Harry ]. Law
son. of London. England, inventor of the
safety bicycle Mr.. Lawson who is now
interested in British motor vehicle COM
pany. made the prediction that within five
years the cycle trade Of the world will be
as completely revolutionized by the appli-
cation OF motors to small two or three
wheel vehicles as il was by his own in
vention of the safety type of bicycle.
In Europe. he said bicycles are now
being fitted with small two horse power
gasolene motors. the position of the motor
on one side of the rear wheel being coun-
terbalanced by a fly wheel or 'gyroscope,"
on the other side. The motors add about
fifty pounds to the weight of the machines
Mr.. Lawson thought that within year or
two motorcycles would be sold here for
$3.50, and possibly for less.
Bearing out this prophecy the statement
was made at the Garden that at least one
cycle manufacturing concern in this coun-
try has already arranged for the manu-
facture of motor cycles and motor tricycles
on a large scale 1t has been an open
secret that several of the firms compris-
ing the American Bicycle Company have
been considering the manufacture of motor
Mr.. Lawson was much impressed with
the improvements made iii bicycles in this
country i'm recent years. and was particu
larly pleased with the 1900 models Of the
chainless wheels on view at the show. He
recalled the various stages in improvement
since he began his experiments in the low
type of bicycles in 1868.
His first machines he said were oper
ated by the hands. In 1874 he improved
on this with a machine worked by both
hands and feet In 1877 he made and
patented his first rotary action bicycle. and,
being at a loss for name for it, consulted
his father The latter. the Rev. I. Lawson,
Of Brighton England. suggested the word
safety" and hence the name by which
this type of bicycle was long known.
Mr.. Lawson exhibited an improved safe
ty at London show in 1879 and received
general ridicule for his pains. One fault
found was that the saddle was near the
ground instead of high up in the air and
away from the dust. In 1880 he opened

AMERICAN STOCKS Rising
Good News From South Africa Sends
Them Up in London.
The Market strengthened Further by
Lowered Discount Rates-Money
Easier at the Banks of England
and France-The COnsols score
an Advance of Small Proportions.

NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-The London Stock
Market was substantially strengthened TO-
dav bv the advices relating TO the success
ful attack of the British forces on Spion
Kon and further by a reduction in the
Rank Of England's discount rate TO per
cent. which was accompanied by a re-
duction of ! - per cent in the bank OF
Frances figures Owing to these circum-
stances London prices showed advances
which in some instances extended to over
one point in American stocks. There was
a fractional advance in consols. and indeed
all quarters of the market in London were
reported fairly buoyant.
The American Stock Market accepted the
advances shown in the London prices III

Nashville. St Paul. and Union Pacific,

one point, and in the industrial quarter

filming reacted rather sharply after the ear

its final figures of yesterday. number OF
other stocks also showed material recess
sions from the initial advances, and after
the opening the market had a somewhat
confused tone This was probably IN no
small measure due TO the confusion oil
mind created BY the misleading accounts
of the South Africa situation. which ap-
peared in some of the newspapers.
Aside from the African advices. and the

AMERICAN MEAT ABROAD.
Organized Effort to Be Made Against
It's Importation.

Consul Winter has informed the State
Department from Frankfort that owing to
the competition of American meat on the
Continent of Europe, an organized effort is
about TO be made to combat its importa-
tion. The Austrian butchers. at their re-
cent meeting, recommended congress of
the butchers of all the states of continental
Europe for the purpose of deliberating
upon ways and means of counteracting the
growth of meat monopolies, protection
against imports of unhealthy meat raising
of stock at home, and steps TO be taken
against American competition.
According TO German press comments,
the butchers of Germany will joint with
those of Austria in almost any kind of an
undertaking to keep out American meats.
1t is stated that the managers of the Ger
man Butchers Association will soon meet
for discussion of the proposition of their
Austrian colleagues.

try. one OF these developments the sig
nificance of which is apparent without
comment is the election of ID. o. Mills 10
the directorates of both the New York
Central and the Southern Pacific almost
simultaneously. The very heavy buying
of Southern Pacific stock recently by Mr.
Hartman and by Jacob II. Schiff is now
by MIR. Huntington and it is
also acknowledged by him that the
changes in the Southern Pacific directo-
rate are due TO the new interests repre-
scented by these two gentlemen.

The grangers were the strongest and
most buoyant Of the railway list this
morning. They opened an average Of a
point in advance Of the closing price yes
terday and held their good gain during the
morning hours somewhat active trading.
Burlington went above 123. ST. Paul above
lle and Rock Island hovered around 107.
The fine earnings statements of these COM
panies official and unofficial. have led 10
steady investment buying recently which
has caused the large short interest in the
group some uneasiness. A further advance
of a point or two would be likely TO cause
a small panic in the bear ranks. The pro-
fessonal calamity howlers have made the
grangers one of the chief objects OF their
attacks and the chief arguments put Forth
by them. and. indeed the only ones have
been tight money and decreasing earnings.
Instead of either of these things money is
now easy and promises TO continue so, and
earnings are increasing all the time In
stead of decreasing.

seen this morning that outsiders are again
beginning to interest themselves 10 a Ger

was noticeable in several securities. so that
The early hours Of the session were some
what more active than in recent days.
Prices opened up a point OF more in the
active securities and fTaCtionally all over
the list and there were general further
advances. London was buyer as the re
suit of d more hopeful feeling regarding
The South African situation. and on his
side the London optimism was reflected
somewhat among the traders The outside
buyers were perhaps Influenced less by this
factor than by the continuance of the sat
isfactOry general conditions all over the
country. There is not yet in sight any
such boom as that of last January but the
steady investment buying by the people
that are able TO buy is certain to result in
gradually higher prices. according TO
shrewd judgment OF the market. The i'm
mediate outlook is for an advance of
point or more in the expectation of an eX-
cellent bank statement If the rumors that
the British have captured the Beers best
position are confirmed this small advance
may become more important.

THE PRESBYTERIAN
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Day Was Given Over MOSTLY
to Routine Business.
MANY REPORTS HEARD

Executive Committee Makes Its An.
nual Exhibit Rights of individuals
Defined--Question of Remarriage of
Divorcees-Other Business.
ATLANTA, May 21.-The third days
session OF the Presbyterian general as
sembly was given largely to routine
business.
A telegram was read from the Cum.
berland presbytery in session at Chatta.
nooga reciprocating the sentiments ex-
pressed in the greeting sent them by the
southern general assembly.
The reading of an overture from an
individual on the twentieth century fund
raised the point of order as to whether
individuals have the right to memorial
ize the assembly. The chair was not
familiar with the law Oh the subject and
asked for expressions of opinion. DR..
u. W. Finley responded that for the
fourth time he was called upon to assert
the inalienable right of any individual
member OF the church to petition the as
sembly. The question had been settled
~ years ago, and this had been the
practice OF the assembly since. There
was no further discussion and the chair
sustained DIR. Finley's position.
Inc treasurer's report showed that it
would be necessary to draw upon the
revenues OF next year to the extent of
about $500 to meet the expenses of the
current year. This was due largely to
the extra expense incurred for editorial
work on the hymn book. The treas.
urer recommended that expense on this
account be charged against the hymn
book to be met from funds derived from
the sale, relieving the assembly of this
extra burden.
DIR. j. w. Walden of Athens, Ca, for
the committee on revision of the hymn
book, read comprehensive report and
submitted the text Of psalms and hymns
which have been selected for the new
book. Copies Of the text were distrib-
uted among the commissioners. The
report was referred to a special COM
mittee.
DIR. j. G. Finley read lengthy report
from the committee appointed to attend

mittee strongly indorsed the work of
