GLUTTOMY

Is more common than we may think, IL
we define gluttony as eating beyond the
body's need of sustenance and beyond
the stomach's capacity for digestion and
assimilation of food. That Is a fair
definition, and it fastens the name glut-
ton on many q person who would resent
the term as an insult. The fact of this
gluttOny IS marked by its consequences.
The overloaded stomach becomes dis
eased. The popular term for the condi-
ton is "weak stomach. The "weak "
stomach fails in furnishing adequate nu-
triton for the body, and soon the "weak-
ness" spreads from the stomach to other
organs.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t
enables the perfect assimilation of food,
by which alone the health and strength
of the body is maintained.

ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP
BRITISH TRANSPORT
Bomb Explodes Under Ship In
New Orleans Harbor.
NO SERIOUS DAMAGE DONE

Explosion Occurred While Crew Slept,
but Fortunately No One Was IDjur-
ed-Thought to Have Been the Work
of BOer Sympathizers.
New ORLEANS, Aug. 10.-What is re-
garded as an attempt of a Boer sympa.
thizer to blow up British transport oc-
Cured shortly after midnight when a
terrible explosion occurred at the stock
landing where the Harrison line
steamer Mechanioian is moored. The
Mechanician is carrying mules to South
Africa The explosion shook houses,
ratified dishes and windows and awak-
ened people for some distance around.
Most of the crew of the ship were
asleep, but the explosion brought them
quickly from their berths to the deck.
An examination hurriedly made showed
large dent on the starbOard side of
the ship. Two plates at the waters
edge had been sprung, and considerable
water was let into the ship. The pumps
were Immediately put to work, and
when daylight came it was found that
and that the damage done was not se-
riOus.
The crew of the vessel denied that
there were any explosives aboard and
there seems little doubt, according to
the statements of those who examined
the ship, that the explosion was from
the outside and that some sort of bomb
or torpedo had been used.
A1ewol .ahloro Iowc;
son line, visited the Mechanician early
today and report of the damage done
was submitted to him. He said that
three large plates on the starboard side
of the ship had been stove in and that
Is rivets had been broken off or knocked
completely from their places. AS the
ship was making considerable water it
was decided to shift the ballast of the
cargo so as to lift the damaged section
out of the water. 1t is thought that the
damage can be quickly repaired here.
The agent said that the MechaniCian
would be loaded with cargo of mules
on Monday and get away for South
Africa as soon as possible.
A British officer who was on the ship
last night said the explosion was terrific
and that a column of water went high
up i'll the air and came down on deck.
Captain Ball of the Mechanician was on
board at the time.
Neither the agent of the ship nor any
of the officers were willing to express a
theory with regard to who was respon-
sible for the explosion. 1t was sug-
gested in some quarters that it might
have been the act of some disgruntled
muleteer. Many of the muleteers who
have from time TO time left the city on
British transports have returned with
complaints of the treatment they re-
ceived and a number of suits are now
pending against the British ships in the
federal courts.

CHARLESTON, Aug. 1O.-In order to
give protection to the railroad compa.
nies, which have responded so literally
to the call from the exposition company,
the city council of Charleston is prepar.
ing the draft of an ordinance which will
prevent indiscriminate ticket scalping
during the progress of the show. al.
ready many scalpers are preparing to
move here as soon as the exposition is

to big number of these spectators. A
month ago an ordinance was passed to
prevent the scalpers from working"
the streets, and there Is also a law to
prohibit "barkers" from operating in
front Of the establishments.
The license now is only 5000, but this
amount will be raised to two or three
times that figure, and the authorities
will use every endeavor to keep the
thieVing agents away. The brokers
who are recognized by the Ticket Bro
kers' association seem inclined to assist
the authorities i'll keeping the unscrupu.
lOus dealers from doing business here,
and the law TO be adopted will give bet
ter protection to the railroads and will
save the public from any annoyance
