H0NORs WEBSTER DAVIS.
PEyJsident Kruger Sends His Own Spe-
oiaI Car TO Bring Him to Pretoria.

Lourenzo Marques, Jan. 22.-Webster
Davis, United States assistant secreta-
~ of the interior, arrived here on his
way to Pretoria, and called upon the
governor general, John AlVarO da Costa
Ferreira, who gave him a most cOur-
teouS reception and requested him to
convey q. message of special friendship
to President Mckinley. The TransVaal
government has informed Mr.. Davis
that President Kruger's carriage will
convey him to Pretoria.
London, Jan. 21-The publication of
the fact that President Kruger is send
ing a private car to take Webster Davis
from Lourenzo Marques to Pretoria is
causing considerable speculation here
as to whether Mr.. Davis notwithstand-
ing the denial from Washington, has
some sort of official mission. 1t is
thought rather singular that a simple
traveller, even though an official at
home, should receive so much attention
The subject is attracting the Continent
tai papers, which are inquiring through
the London representatives whether the
British government has information
which regard to the object of Mr. Dav-
is. They are reluctant 70 believe that
one Of President Mckfnley's assistant
secretaries would take a vacation in the
Transvaal and be given leave of alb
sence from his duties for several
months without some special purpose.
A recent dispatch from Washington
pointed out that Mr.. Davis has given
up his proposed visit to the TransVaal,
owing to the possibility that it might
be misinterpreted.

century has it's dark side, but the

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Eff
fectual Cure For It

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings,
a formation of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs, and difficult
breathing, headaches, tickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played out,
languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the inter
ior of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, inf1amed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly d1geSted before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To Sc
cure prompt and healthy digestion is
the one necessary thing to do and when
normal digestion is secured the ca
tarrhal condition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet, composed of Diastase,
ASeptic Pepsin, 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 a. patent medicine can be
used with perfect safety and assurance
that healthy appetite and thorough di-
gestion will follow their regular use

equalsd as a finished player. His
r. ndeIing of the Classics Is nothing
less than masterful and inspiring, and
his expression evidences a power akin
TO genius. This mastery OF the violin
appealed with peculiar force to his IL
lustrieus glandsire. Those who best
knew the late Frederick Douglass could
not fail to be interested in his intense
enthur iAsm for the violin. He person
ally knew all the great artists of that
instrument both in America and Eu-
rope and reveled in the wonders of
their execution. In some sonnsts of

butte to MF. Douglass at the time of his
death he refers to bis love for the vio-

If love of music be mortal sin

He was sinner to his dying day!
For, like the rest of his melodlous kin,
A song was what his soul delighted in,
Especially some soft and plaintive lsy

He touched the strings with more than

To all the psHt.up passion Of bis heart

Begailed for him care to a content.
