THE AMERICAN LEAGUE.
Nande rbecL, of Detroit. Dropped
From Membership.

DETROIT Mich. Feb 2S-President
Johnson, Of the American League, an
nOuneed today that Vanderbeek was no
longer a member of the board Of man
ayers and could in the future have nothing
to say in affairs Of the League. He said
he had given Vanderbeck every oppor-
tunity to protect his interests from seizure
and sale by the court to SATISFY his wife's
decree for allmony but that further par
ley with him for further concessions were
out of the question. owing to the ned-ness
of the ball season He holds that the re
ceivers' sale to Mrs. Vanderbeck notwith-
standing the order Of the Supreme Court
staying all proceedings. IS final so far as
the League is concerned. and that she or
her assigns viii be recognized by the
League.
Acting upon his decision, which was
made without consulting the other mem
bers Of the League. President johnson au-
thorized Captain Stallings to organize "a
team and get ready 70 begin the season.
Stallings will at once sign an entire new
team, having already mailed contracts to

CANNOT BUY DISCHARGE.
\ Decision Reached Concerning SOL
diers in the PhiIippiue-.

The question Of soldiers buying their dis
charges from the Army is said to have been
settled by Secretary Root. who has decided
that for the present no soldiers will be
permitted TO return to civil life by the ply
ment Of the sum required by law.
This decision was reached because it was
feared that the ranks of the army in the
Philippines would become depleted il the
soldiers were allowed to pay for their dis
charges, as a majority OF the soldiers there
are reported TO have saved most Of their
pay. and would be in a financial condition
to secure their discharge at almost any
time
The question Of enlisted men in the
Army receiving the additional % per cent
allowed in time Of war. it is said, will he
solved by the passage of a bill just intro
duced in Congress providing that soldiers
serving outside of the limits OF the United
States shall receive 20 per cent increase in
their pay. and that Officers shall receive
10 per cent increase when serving outside
of the United states. The bill provides for
an appropriation OF Sl524 10 to pay this
increase. The enlisted men are now re-
ceiving an increase Of 20 per cent over their
pay in time Of peace, but no protest has
ever been raised against the payment Of
the increase. and the Treasury Department
officials. it is said. have decided that the
Increased pay is perfectly legal

ONLY A SUGGESTION.
hut II Has Proven of Interest and
Value TO Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that if one
wishes to become fleshy and plump it can
only result from the food We eat and digest
and that food should be albuminous OF
flesh forming food like eggs. beefsteak
and cereals. in other words the kinds OF
food that make flesh are the foods which
form the greater part Of our daily bills OF
fare.
But the trouble is that while We eat
enough and generally too much the stOm-
ach. from abuse and overwork. does not
properly digest aud assimilate it. which Is
the reason so many people remain thin and
under weight; the digestive organs do not
completely digest the flesh forming beef
steak and eggs and similar wholesome
food
There are thousands Of such who are
really confirmed dyspepucs, although they
may have no particular pain or ncon-
venience from their stomschs
Il such persons would lay their prciu-
dices aside and make a regular practice
OF taking. after each meal one or two OF
Strart's Dyspepsia Tablets the food would
be quickly and thoroughly digested. be
cause these tablets contain the natural
peptones and diastase which every weak
stomach lacks. and by supplying this want
natural tone and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every
form Of fiesh-forming food meat, eggs
bread and potatoes, and this is the rca-
son they so quickly build up strengthen
and invigorate thin, dyspeptic men. wom-
en- and children
Invalids and children, even the most
delicate. use them with marked benefit. as
they contain no strong. irritating drugs
no cathartic nor any harmful ingredient
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the mos
successful and most widely known OF ans
remedy for stomach troubles. because Il
is the most reasonable and scientific OF
modern medicines.
Starts Dyspepsia Tablets are sold By
every druggist in the United States and
Canada. as well as in Great Britain. at 81
cents for complete treatment
Nothing further is required to cure any
stomach trouble or TO make thin, nervous
dyspepdc people strong. plump, and well.

the men and officers Of the troops in the

the officials of the War Department. In

meat to other persons. including sausage
makers and cheap restaurant keepers.
A portion of the German press has
taken much pleasure in repeating and ex-
aggcrating the reports of frauds in the
meat trade of the United states, but for
tunately there has never been any proof
Of such frauds in this country as are now
reported from Germany, and the German
officials might obtain some valuable hints
as to the best methods OF handling con-
demned meats by examining the plan
adopted in our meat inspection service.

Mr.. Pritchard Enquiries About DeIay
ia street improvements.

In reply to a letter of enquiry from Sen
ator j. G. Pritchard, with reference to the
opening Of New Hampshire Avenue The
District Commissioners have given reasons
for the delay in executing the work.
Senator Pritchard complains that nearly
year has passed since the passage OF the
bill authorizing the improvement when the
measure distinctly states that condemna-
tion proceedings shall be instituted within
ninety days from the passage OF the act
The Commissioners state in reply that
the court has been busy With street extern
sion eases ever since the acts providing for
such extensions were passed. and that the
cases have been taken up iu the order in
which they appeared in the 1cts-
II is stated that il is impossible to take
UP more than one case at a time. so that
the proceedings are necessarily SLOW The
Commissioners express the hope, however
that the case in question will be reached
soon.

MEAT SCANDALS IN BERLIN.
Condemned Goods sold TO Cheap

Condemned Goods Sold TO Cheap
Restaurants and Working People.
The Department Of Agriculture has just
received information concerning the re
cent meat scandals in Berlin. 1t appears
that for years the diseased meats con-
demned at the Berlin slaughterhOuse as
unfit for food were sent to a rendering es-
adjustment for destruction. Complaints
we're not lufrequently made that on the
way from the slaughterhouse to the rem
dering establishment this condemned ma
terial was stolen and placed upon the mar
ket.
The "AIlgemeine Fleischer Zeiung"
called attention time and again to these
frauds. and when. upon more than one oc-
casion this paper was sued for such
statements. it proved that they were cor
rect Finally, Berlin appropriated 10000
marks for erecting a building in connec-
ton with the slaughterhouses in which
all condemned meats should be either
cooked and then sold at a reduced price
TO the poorer Glasses. or in case il was
too badly diseased TO be sold even in a
cooked condition, it should be destroyed
Notwithstanding this, in 1891 another
scandal developed. IL was charged that
the diseased meat was not thoroughly
cooked before being sold to the working
mems families and as a result of the local
investigation. several policemen were de-
tailed TO help the one policeman who had
previously been employed in keeping
guard over this diseased meat Some
months ago the butchers reported to the
police president OF Berlin that the regu-
Iations were being continually violated.
but apparently no attention was given to
this complaint until fierce fell from
dealers wagon on the streets, and out
came quantity Of raw diseased meat,
bearing the condemned stamp. The eel
lars of this dealer were searched and large
quantities of similar diseased meat unfit
for food we're found. A police inyestiga

 A French girl who formerly wore "any old thing is now very modshly attired in fine little gowns that are designed for her and built specially to fit her figure.
 In response to the demand for gowns Tor growing girls one of the tradesmen upon the rue de la Paix advertises designs for half-grown girls, and very becoming they are, with their broad-waisted effects and their skirts that are made to escape the ground.
 So very pretty are some of these gowns that you see young women who have been out several seasons copying them ana dressing like the girl of 16. even to the wearing of the hair in a big loose coil at the very nape of the neck, where big ribbon bow secures 1t.

See the Paris Fair for Six Cents

From the N. Y. Tribune's Paris Letter.
 This Is the 18th day of the exposition and only eighty-six days more remain be- fore closing time in November. The 2O- franc exhibition bonds are quoted on the Bourse today at francs and the deprecia- tion of entrance tickets is such that 1t now only costs cents to get into the show.
 Paris itself at last is forced to admit that the exhibition lacks gayety and Is dismal financial failure. There is, nevertheless, a notable increase of visitors, who average 4O,OOO more daily than the previous week.
 This increase Is due to the invasion from Germany and Central Europe of third-class travellers, who, after they have paid their 6 cents each to get into the exhibition wander about with brown paper parcels of sausages and brown bread, at which they nibble until through sightseeing, and go away without expending an extra farthing

To their hor- TOT they were allowed no pleasures beyond a few most simple ones, such as were given to a child of I; and when they sought to gain the intellectual freedom of grown wo- men they were restrained.
