UNITED STATES
Will Retain the Isle of Pines in the
 West Indies Group.

New York, November N. - The United States will retain the Isle of Pines, what ever the final disposition of Cuoa, says a Washington dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser. It will be fortified and a strong garrison will be kept there.
 Lying south of the western end of Cuba, the Isle of Pines commands the western or Yucatan entrance to the gulf and forms an important outpost for the defense of the Nicaragua canal
 When Secretary Root visited Cuba he went to the island and recognized it's strategic importance. The State Depart ment now holds that under the treaty of peace, the title to the Isle of Pines passed to the United States. Secretary Root holds similar view. The northern side of fthe island-that next to the Cuban shores--is admirably adapted for the purposes of the government. It Is high, thickly studded with valuable woods, and the climate is so healthful that prior to the war health re- sort for pulmonary patients was estab- lished there.
 Naval officers say that Suegiena bay on the west coast will, with but little dredg- ing, afford an excellent and safe harbor

ABOUT HEART DISEASE.
Ninety Per Cent of it Really Caused
 from Poor Digestion.

Real organic heart trouble is incurable, but scarcely one case in hundred Is or ganc.
 The action of the heart and stomach are both controlled by the same great nerves, the sympathetic and pneumogastris and when the stomach fails to properly digest the food and 1t lies in the stomach fer menting, gases are formed which diStend the organ causing pressure on the heart and lungs causing palpiration, irregularity and shortness of breath
 The danger from this condition is that, the continued disturbance of the heart sooner or later may cause real organic heart trouble and in fact frequently does so.
 Furthermore, poor digestion makes the blood thin and watery and deficient in red corpuscles, and this further irritates and weakens the heart.
 The most sensible thing to do for heart trouble is to insure the digestion and as- similation of the food.
 This can be done by the regular use after meals of some safe, pleasant and effective digestive preparation, like Stuarts Dys- peptia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores and which contain the necessary digestive clements in a pleasant, convenient form.
 Thousands of people keep well and viz oorus by keeping their digestion perfect by observing the rule of taking one or two of these tablets after each meal, or at least after each hearty meal.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain U. S. P. pepsin, diastase from malt and other natural digsstives which act only on the food, digesting 1t perfectly and preventing acidty, gases. and the many diseased con dttions which accompany weak stomach.
 When Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are used you may know you are pot taking into the fystem any strong medicine or powerful drug, but simply the natural digestive ele- msnts which every weak stomach lacks.
 So widely known and popular have these tablets become that they are now sold in the United States, Canada and Great Brit ain.

SULLIVAN WILL
 RETIRE FROM K. C. Efficient Superintendent Tenders
 His Resignation ANNOUNCEMENT A SURPRISE Will be Succeeded by Mir. croce, Now With the Baltimore and Ohio
 Southwestern-Long Term
 of Active Service.
ANNOUNCEMENT A SURPRISE

J. H. Sullivan, superintendent of the Kan- sas City, Memphis and Birmingham Rail- road and the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis between Memphis and Springfield, Mo-, has rendered his resignation, to take effect December 1. He will be succeeded by MT. Groce, now with the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern.

It is not stated what he in- tends doing after he leaves the Kansas City road, though 1t Is understood he will go with some other line in a high official capacity
 The announcement of MT. Sullivan's re- tirement from the Kansas City roads came somewhat as a surprise, as no intimation had been made that he intended doing so.

 The benediction was given by the dean, and then there occurred what has never before been heard in St. Paul. Fifty Wo- men, all dressed in the deepest black, and the same number of men gathered near the coffin, arose from their knees. They were the chorus of the Savoy Theatre In quiy- ering, trembling tones they commenced to sing Sullivan's Brother Thou Art Gone Before Us" A great hush fell on the crowds that had started to leave the build ing. Gathering courage, the womens voices swelled out until every corner of the vast cathedral re-echoed this sad requiem from those who had so often sung the lighter lyrics of the composer they then mourned. As this died away the organ took up the majestic strains of the dead march in Saul, the choir, clergy and mourners filed out, and one of the most impressive na- tional funerals held in England came to an end
 Just as MT. Choate, with Charles Wynd- ham, George Sims and other well-known persons arrived al the chapel, the attend ants received orders to close the doors, as the chapel was full. MT. Choate expostu- lated and showed his card of admission, but all to no avail. MT. Sims remarked in a low tone: ''The Anglo-American entente cordial is shattered after all these years
 For ten minutes the United States ann bassador was kept waiting, but finally the attendants were ordered to admit him and the other distinguished persons with him.
 As this particular doorway is known as the ambassadors entrance, unprivileged by-standers were not a little amused at the incident and one of them referred to MT. Choate as s"foolish virgin

Address on South's Resources

Huntsville, February 2.-(Special )-Presi-
dent william A. McCorkle and Secretary
N. F. Thompson have issued an address to
the people of the south regarding the sec
ond annual meeting of the Southern Indus
trial Convention at Chattanooga, May g.
The address cites the fact that at no
former period of the south's history has
there existed such favorable conditions for
advancing the industrial, educational and
commercial interests of the south as those
now prevailing. Old animosities and Sec
tional prejudices have disappeared largely
through the clash Of arms with a foreign
foe, in which the sons of the north and the
south stood equally to maintain the hosor
and glory of common country.
A stronger desire to know the real ad-
yantages of the south is everywhere man.
ifest in the north, and the supply of capital
to carry out any plans devised for its use
was never so abundant at the present
time. The fields opening to southern COM
merce, continues the address, through
southern ports and from southern indus
tries are more promising than are offered
TO any other people on the face of the
globe.
The varied resources of the south are be-
coming more widely acknowledged until 1t
would seem that the gods are rendering to
this fair land the most munificent
gifts contained in all the treasure vaults of
natures realm.

HALF OUR ILLS ARE CATARRH.
Peruna Cures Catarrh Wherever Located.
Pernna Not q Cure. All.

Peruna is not a"cure all -; 1t cures just
one disease-catarrh. But since catarrh
is able to fasten itself within the differ
emit organs of the body, SO 1t is that Pc
runa cures affections of these organs.
But we insist that Peruna cures one dis
ease only. We claim that Peruna is the
only internal, scientific remedy for ca
tarrh yet devised. We claim that ca
tarrh Is o systemic disease; that is to
say, 1t invades the whole system. We
claim that Peruna is systemic remedy ;
that is to say, it eradicates catarrh from
the system. Catarrh is not local dis
ease; Peruna Is not local remedy.
Since catarrh invades the system, only
a systemic remedy can reach it. This is,
in brief, our claim in assigning to the
disease-catarrh-our remedy, Peruna.
There is no medicine that can take its
place. Address The Peruna Medicine
Co, Columbus, O, for free catarrh book.

particulars. An attempt to revive the
policy of making contracts with religious
schools for the education CT Indian chill
dren, which tlas been gradually abandoned
by the government during the last five
years, failed the ruling of the CHAIR
that the amendment was out of order. The
latter part of the session was devoted to
eulogies upon the lffe and pubic st,vices
of the late Representative Ermentrout of
Pennsylvania.
When the house adjourned yesterday
there was pending an amendment to au-
thoriZe the secre tary of the interior to make
contracts for the education of Indian dnil-
dren where other facilities did net exist.
To this amendment a point of order had

children of the nation would be unprovided
for. We were proposing to spend millions
for the civilization of far distant people,
he said, yet, we refrained from educating
these wards of the nation because of IA
natical idea that in so doing we might help
a particular church.

Mr. Little, of Arkansas, opposed the
amendment on the ground that the govern
