NEELY 100000 SHORT.
HI is Accused of Converting to His Own
Use Surcharged Stamps-Stealing
| Began Soon He En-
| tered Upon His Duties.

New York, May 25.-Papers have ar
rived in New York from which will
result in pressing of other charges
against Chas. F. w. Neely, now con-
fined in the LuaIow Street Jail.
1t is ascertained that these papers
were sent from Cuba to the depart
ment at Washington, and charge the
alleged defaulting postal employe
with the embeZzlement of sum ap-
proXimating 100000.
This alleged embezzlement consists
in the conversion into cash of the
100000 worth of 'surcharged" Cuban
postage stamps, which were ordered
destroyed, and which were certified
as having been destroyed by the COM
mittee appointed for that purpose, of
which Neely was the head.
The above information comes from
Edward X. Jones, special assistant to
the United States attorney general in
the Neely case.
There is a new and more serious
charge to be presented against
Neely,,' said Mr.. Jones, (which in
wolves much larger amount than
heretofore shown.
''He is charged with having convert
ed to his own use the supposedly de-
stroyed surcharged Cuban stamps,
and instances are cited where he sold
two-cent stamps to stamp collectors
for as high as 20 cents each. There
are evidences also that the Neely
stealings were begun almost as soon
as he took office in Cuba"

THE SENATE

Washington, May 29.-A few minutes be- fore adjournment this afternoon the sem ate added to the sundry civil appropriation bill an amendment appropriating $5,0OO,OOO for the Louisiana purchase exposition to be held in St. Louis in 1903 condition that SIC, 900, GOO in addition be raised by the ex- position authorities. The amendment was offered by MT. Cockrell of Missouri and was adopted without debate and without division. Because an amendment offered by him subsequently, was stricken out on a point of order, MT. Gallinger of New Hampshire moved to reconsider the St. Louis fair amendment and that motion is now pending. AS it Is known that con- siderable majority of the senate favors the fair amendment it seems reasonably likely that the motion to reconsider will not be adopted
 MT. Bacon of Georgia addressed the sen- ate at length on the Teller resolution ex- pressing sympathy for the Boers, after which the resolution was referred to the committee on foreign relations by a vote of 40 to 26

There are many hotels in New York city that make a claim to being fire-proof that solicit pat ronage under false representations The Hotel Normandie is as near fre-proof as modern construction can make it. and no hotel in New York city has a lower rate of fire insurance. Other questions for the consideration of the traveller are location conveniences and comforts of accommoda- tions, rates charged, quality and respecta- biity of the house patronage, service cuisine, sanitary arrangements courtesy good judgment and business tact of em- ployes, etc All of these questions have been met and mastered by the managers of this hotel.
 The Hotel Normandie is located in the liveliest and most interesting part of the city, no less than twenty principal places of amusement being within five minutes walk of the hotel; elevated and surface roads give quick transportation to all parts of the city. The building is a most sub stantial structure, the walls are exception ally heavy and fire-proof, the beams are all of iron and filled in with hollow brick and concrete: the stairs are of iron and marble. Every room is a place of security for its occupants. The rooms are light. airy and furnished in harmony s,::th tAe surroundings; the plumbing is new and up to date. The Normande has always been in the front rank in catering to and secur- ing the best people that travel, and Is known as one of the principal hotels in the Empire City.

Concerning Method of Curing Dyspep'
 sia and Stoma ,h Troubles

Dyspepsia and indigestion are considered incurable by many people who do not real ize the advance made in modern medical science, and because by the old methods and remedies cure was rarely, if ever ob- tained.
 Dyspepsia is now cured as readily as any other disease.
 What the dyspeptic wants is abundant nutrition, which means plenty of good, wholesome, well-cooked food and some thing to assist the weak stomach to digest it. This is exactly the purpose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted and this Is the method by which they cure the worst cases of Dyspepsia, in other words the patient eats plenty of whole some food and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest it for him. In this way the system is nourished and the overworked stomach rested. because the tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not One of these tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat or eggs.
 Your druggist will tell you that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is remedy sold on its merits and is the purest, safest and cheap est remedy sold for stomach troubles, and every trial makes one more friend for this excellent preparation

COL. [. P. ATMORE
 DIES SUDDENLY
Passenger Agent of |. & N Railroad SuccumbS to an
 Attack of Apoplexy

Louisville, Ky, May 29.-Colonel c. F. Atmore, general passenger agent of the Louisville and Nashville railroad died sud- denly this afternoon of apoplexy at the residence of Ridgley Cayce of the Louis- vile Henderson and St. Louis road. Col onel Atmore's death was utterly unexpect- ed He had been at his office all morning attending to business usual. It Is be- lieved that the exertion of the attempt to ascend the stairs leading to MT. Cayce's flat brought on the fatal attack. Colonel Atmore was one of the best known rail road men in the country, particularly in the south. He had been general passen- ger agent of the Louisville and Nashville since 1874. Colonel Atmore was 66 years of age. He was twice married. His second wife, who was Miss Estelle Williams of Montgomery, Ala, survives with three sons and two daughters.
