The SpOlfatfOn of Garfield Park.
70 the Editor Of The Evening Star:

1 wish to thank you for the outspoken
manner in which you have denounced the
proposition to donate so much valuable
property to the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany and to say that while the people of
Southeast Washington, ii is believed, fully
agree with every word you have written on
that subject, We are especially interested in
the preservation of Garfield Park. The
pride of our city is her parks, and there
are few, If any, more beautiful that the
eastern portion of the park named. This is
the only one Of any size with which the
southeast has been favored, and the propo-
siton to despoil 1t ought to be repugnant
not only to the residents of this section
but to every citizen of Washington and,
In fact, to every American who takes a
pride in the beauty Of his capital city The
beauty, freedom and quiet of this park
were the attractions which led many of
US to locate and invest our money in this
section. and the building of a railroad in
the park would render the whole neighbor-
hood SO undesirable that many of US would
feel compelled to abandon our homes and
rent them for what we could get. A rail-
road through Scott Circle or Lincoln Park
would drive every citizen away from those
beautlfuf sections, and yet their homes
while more valuable in themselves are not
more dear to them than are ours to US,
many of which represent the savings of a
lifetime.
This Is also question of patriotism
When the great life of our martyr Presi-
dent went out the whole American people
bowed in grief at the decree, and one re-
spect in which that grief took form was
in the dedication of this park to his mem
ory To despoil 1t now would be repug-
nant to the patriotic sense of every Ameri-
can who owes the memory of Garfield.
The abolition Of grade crossings, the re-
puted cause of this measure. is a consum-
nation devoutly to be wished, but other
cities are able to accomplish such achieve
ments without the destruction of their
parks, and We appeal to the sense Of
beauty. justice and patriotism innate in
the American people to prevent the enact
ment of any measure looking to the spolia-
ton of these beautiful grounds.

Swears on From Rat Killing.

Kills Willis, colored, declared when he
left the Police Court this morning that he
would never kill another rat. This Is the
only New Year resolution that Kills has
made The reason for subscribing to such
a pledge was that Judge Scott fined him 81
for cruelty to animals
Cruelty to an animal Of the rat kind was
the charge upon which Mr.. Chester A.
Snow had him arrested yesterday. Mr..
Shows charge was that the coIored man
had a rat that had been caught by the leg
in a steel trap. He crossed Pennsylvania
avenue. carrying the trap by a chain. MIR.
Snow thought the animal should have been
stamped to death and put out of its misery
without being carried about In Its suffering
condition.
Kills objected to any method of killing
the rat except by the use of a dog, and
after the death had been accomplished by
this method Mr.. Snow had Willis arrested.
Discussing the case in court, Mr.. Snow
said he thought a steel trap was an instru-
ment of torture. and that its use should be
forbidden.
The colored man said he thought stamp
ing the life out of the rat would have been
cruel.
Judge Scott, in imposing a fine. said he
did so, not because there was any special
cruelty, but because of the exhibition that
was made on public street.

FRIED ONIONS
INDIRECTLY CAUSED THE DEATH OF TIL
WORLD'S GREATEST GENERAL

iNDihECiLf CAUSED THE DEATH OF THE
WORLDS GREATEST GENERAL.
1t is matter of history that Napoleon was a
geurmand. an inordinate lover Of the good things
Of the table. and history further records that his
favorite dish fried onions; his death from can
Ger Of stomach. 1t Is claimed, also, probably
caused from his excessive indulgence Of this fond
ness for the odorous vegetable.
The onion is undoubtedly Wholesome article Of
food. in fact, has many medicinal qualities Of
value, but it would be ddleult to find indi-
gestible article than fried onions, and to many
people they are simply poison, but the onion does
not stand alone in this respect Any article of
food that is not thoroughly digested becomes a
source Of disease and discomfort whether it be
fried onions beef steak
The reason why any wholesome food is not
promptly digested ia because the stomach lacks
some important element Of digestion, some stom-
achs lack peptoDe others are deficient in gastric
juice, still others lack hydrochloric acid.
The one thing necessary to do in any case Of
poor digestion is to supply those elements of dges
ton which the stomach hacks, and nothing does
this thoroughly and safely as ssuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets. ~
DIR. Richardson, in writing a thesis on treatment
Of dyspepsia and indigestion, closes his remarks by
saying, for those suffering from acid dyspepsia,
shown by sour watery risings, for fatulent dys-
pepsia, shown by gas on stomach, causing heart
trouble and difficult breathing as we'll for all
other forms of stomach trouble, the safest treat
ment ts to take one or two OF Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal. l advise them because
they contain no harmful drugs. but are composed
of valuable digestiyes which act promptly upon
the food eaten. l never knew Of indiges-
ton even chronic dyspepsia which Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets would not reach
Cheap cathartic medicines claiming to cure dys-
pepsia and indigestion can have no effect whatever
In actively digestng the food, and to call any
cathartic medicine cure for indigestion is a mis-
homer.
Every druggist in the United States and Canada
sells Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and they not
only the safest and most successful, but the mos,
