THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Facts On the Same Sub.
 feet.

We hear much nowadays about health foods and hygienic living, about vegeter- ianism and many other fads along the same line.
 Restaurants may be found in the large cities where no meat. pastry or coffee Is served and the food crank Is in his glory. and arguments and theories galore ad- vanced to prove that meat was never In tended for human stomachs and almost make us believe that our sturdy ancestors who lived four score years in robust health on roast beef, pork and mutton must have been grossly ignorant of the laws of health.
 Our forefathers had other things to do than formulate theories about the food they ate. A warm welcome was extended to any kind from becon to acorns.
 A healtny appetite and common sense are excellent guides to follow in matters of diet, and mixed diet of grains, fruits and meats is undoubtedly the best.
 As compared with grains and vegeta- bles, meat furnishes the most nutriment in a highly concentrated form and Is digested and assimilated more quickly than vegetables and grains.
 Dr. Julius Remmson on this subject says: Nervous persons, people run down in health and of low vitality should eat meat and plenty of it. If the digestion Is too feeble at first it may be easily cor TecIeQ Dy the regular use Ol otuuTl 9 1)5S- pepsia Tablets after each meal. Two Of these excellent tablets taken after dinner will digest several thousand grains of meat, eggs or other animal food in three hours, and no matter how weak the stomach may be, no trouble will be eX- perienced if a regular practice is made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets be- cause they supply the pepsin and diastase necessary to perfect digestion, and every form cf indigestion will be overcome by their use
 That large class of people who come under the head of nervous dyspeptics should eat plenty of meat and insure its proper digestion by the daily use of Il l safe, harmless digestive medicine like | Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets composed oi the natural digestive principles, pepsin diastase fruit acids, and salts which ac- | tually perform the work of digestion l Cheap cathartic medicines, masquerad- l ing under the name of dyspepsia cures l are useless for indigestion as they hayt absolutely no effect upon the actual di- gestion of food.
 Dyspepsia in all its many forms is smp- ly failure of the stomach to digest food and the sensible way to solve the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to make daily use at meal time of a preparation like 1 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which Is en- dorsed by the medical profession and 1 known to contain active digestive prin- ciples.

minion of few inhuencial managers, who not only hire the performers, but control their bookings and the theatres where they are to appear The managers, presumably. are always on the alert to give the public what 1t wants, but as a matter of fact it is the managers who say what the public shall have Should an Independent performer decline to con- form to the managers plans he must en- counter good many difficulties in get ting himself before the public, no matter hoy acceptable the latter might consider him.
 The White Rats seem to have made 1t apparent that there are limits even to the powers of the managers. Their ex- ample is chiefly of importance as showing that it may be possible to secure change in the methods of the greater syndicate which now has a large part of the the atrical business of the country in it's con- trol, and not only dictates as to what plays the American people shall see, but tends to initiate against the creation of new and original drama al the hands of original and Independent playwrights and actors.

Fernando Yznaga's death sudden and unexpected, has occasioned scores Of re- grets Marriages are not always made in heaven. Fernando tried marriage twice He loved we'll and truly, but not wisely. Zach time his bark put out on the sea of matrimony well equipped in the world goods and a fair wind in the sail, but she bumped on the rocks and foundered in domestic gales. I well remember his wives, Jennie Smith, sister of Mrs. Ava Vanderbilt, and Mabel Wright, the beau- ty; and Fernando have known for thir- ty years.
 When one gives rein to memory about Yznaga, one's mind becomes peopled with persons prominent in New York fashion, Indeed. society becomes stage and the people actors. Anybody who remembers anything of New York twenty-five years ago will remember the Yznagas The Yznagas del Valle were Cubans. The revolutions in Cuba had destroyed their plantations and impoverished them. They came to the States for security, and be- cause Mrs. Yznaga, with mothers con- cern for the futures of her beautiful daughters desired a field presenting greater opportunities. They hired a small house at Orange, N. J. The Yzna- ga family consisted of MT. and Mrs
 Yznaga, Consuelo, Natika, Emily and Fernando. At this time society was small, and one of the most conspicuous cliques was dominated by a set of young belles who were called by theaf friends and inti- mates "The Bouncers" They were all handsome women, unusually attractive well born, rich for those days, and full of fun. Miss Minnie Stevens, the daugh' . ter of Mrs. Paran Stevens, had, through her clever mothers diplomacy, managed to be recognized as one of them. Now, Mrs Stevens, who had wonderful fac ulty for knowing everybody without any regard to their position or condltlon Tn some way or other met Miss Consuelo Yznaga. 1 do not want to be m1sundef- stood in this connection. The Yznagas had the social entree, but they were un- comfortably poor. which had. even in those days, a wonderful suppressing in nuence Mrs. Stevens insisted upon Miss Consuelo and Miss Natka passing the season at her house on Fifth avenue.
 Among the young men who went hither and thither was William K. Vanderbilt, or Willie Vanderbilt, as he was called The Vanderbilts did not amount to much in those days. Old Cornelius, the com modore, was alive. He allowed William H. Vanderbilt $10,000 q year to live on, and never thought much of his abilities. His grandsons, Cornelius and Willie K, were clerks in the railroad office. But their expectations made them considera- ble personages, or rather it made Willie K who was unmarried. Society did not know the Cornelius Vanderbilts then, and they went their way as nice church. going people But Willie, unmarried, an heir to a fortune possessed attractions for mothers with unmarried daughters. Now, he greatly admired Miss Consuelo Yznaga and Fernando and he became great friends.

FANCY SHOES
Betrayed Henson and Caused Him To
 Be Sentenced To Death.

Trenton (N. J0 Correspondent Chicago
 Inter Ocean.
 Robert Hensons passion for fancy stitched and curved soled shoes put the hangman's noise aroung his neck. The negro was convicted of murder in the first degree after trial lasting six days. The States case was built purely upon circumstantial evidence, the imprint of the fancy shoes In the mud, which was transferred to the courtroom from the scene of the crime by plaster of paris casts, materially aiding in proving his guilt
 Henson's shoes were cut V-shape, and the sole at the ball of the foot was fin- ished with many scallops. There were in- numerable stitchngs above the sole, and several peculiarities were clearly i'm printed on the clay-like mud.
 The negro murdered Mrs George Van Lieu and her fve-year-old daughter in her cottage at Altura. a village a few miles above this city, last November. He then fired the house and partially cremated the bodies of his victims. Justice Gum mere will sentence him to death in a few days

ty, came to New York. He fell in love with the beautiful Consuelo. True, his fortune amounted to little and his repu- tation less, still his title and prospective title of Duke of Manchester shone like a star Miss Consuelo determined to be- come Lady Vaudeville, and all society thronged Grace church to witness the transformation. What a scramble 1t was for seatsl No for place to perch. Pew seats became benches, and pew rails standing room.
 Willie K went South, and in New Or leans met Miss Ava Smith, whose father had been ruined by the war. In due course of time she became Mrs. William K Vanderbilt. Shortly after Willie K. built the white granite house on Fifth avenue. Then the great fancy dress ball was given, and Mrs. Willie K. became a social leader.
 Mrs Willie K. Vanderbilt had two younger sisters, Jennie and Mimi Miss Jennie was slight, pretty and attractive Fernando Yznaga. the friend of Willie K, fell in love with her. and Miss Jennie became Mrs. YZnaga. They were married at Islip, at Willie Ks country seat, which was years afterwards destroyed by fire. All New York went to the wedding, conveyed thither by special trains. At this time Fernando Yznaga was stock broker, and did the Vanderbilt business
 But the wedding did not produce hSppi- ness. Husband an wife drifted apart There were no charges, no scandal no ill-natured things said. Mrs Yznaga sought and received a divorce. She after wards, some years later. married MT. Tiff fany.
 Years after the divorce MT Yznaga, now rated as a man of wealth, met at Newport very pretty young girl Miss Mabel Wright a guest of Mrs. William K. Osgood, on Bellevue avenue. Miss Wright was a blonde a pronounced beau- ty. Her father came from Lowell, Mass, and was a designer In a carpet factory. The young lady herself had considerable talent as an artist. A kirmess was given for charity at the Metropolitan Opera House, and Miss Wright was one in set of dancers, of which there were many. Her astonishing beauty attracted the eye of Dan Fearing, Harry LeGrand Cannon and W. E. D. Stokes. They were intro- duced to her and made her belle. Mrs.

CAT AElRII

Catarrh has become such common disease that person entirely free from this disgusting complaint is seldom met with. Itis customary to speak of Catarrh as nothing more serious than bad cold, a simple inflammation of the. nose and throat. It is, in fact, complicated and very dangerous disease; if not at first, it very soon becomes so.
 The blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system.
 Ssalves, washes and sprays are unsatis factory and disappointing, because they do not reach the seat of the trouble. s. s. s. does. It cleanses the blood of the poison and eliminates from the system all catarrhal secretions, and thus cures thor oughly and permanently the worst cases.

 Mrs Upjohn-No, indeed. We have a sociable every two or three weeks, with a dinner.

CAUGHT AT LEESBURG CAMP.
The bowman Boy Now Held Here for
Alleged TIL Tapping.

y diminutiVe negro named Robert Bow
man. aged twelve years. is under arrest
at the House of Detention, charged with
grand larceny, on complaint Of William
II. Lee, colored, who keeps n rifle gal
west. The prisoner was brought here
last night from Leesburg Va. by Detec-
tive Lacy and will be arraigned today in
the Police Court.
The theory of Lee and the police is that
young Bowman. who was arrested Fri
day at Leesburg, entered the rife gal
lery of the complainant ea-ly last week
Another boy accompanied him. This sec
ond youth has not vet been caught. al
though the police have been searching
for him since the robbery. Lee appears
to have been in the rear of the gallery,
and apparently he failed to notice the
boys when they slipped into the place.
While Lee was engaged, the boys quiet
ly passed behind the counter and young
Bowman. II is said helped himself TO
all the money in sight. The other youth
seems to have kept watch on Lee. whose
attention was attracted by his work. The
boys made their escape from the gallery
unnoticed. Afterward the police were In
formed of the robbery. and the Bowman
youth was arrested through a lookout
sent out by the police.
After the robbery young Bowman went
to Leesburg, Va, where the District Ma
tional Guard was encamped last week.
There he was recognized by member
of the local police force. He was held
by the Virginia authorities until a detec-
tive could be sent for him.

FOUND DEAD IN THE RIVER.
The Body of William King Recover
ed by the Police Boat.

Harbormaster Sutton yesterday took
the police boat to point above the Aque-
duct Bridge, and after dragging for some
time, recovered the body of William
King coloreq, about eighteen years old,
who was drowned while bathing from a
barge OF the Virginia shore late Saturday
afternoon. The remains were taken to
Cherrydale, Va, where the relatives of
the deceased live.
King worked until late Saturday after
noon on his little place near Cherrydale,
and then went to the river with several
companions for d swim. The party chose
an old barge lying in the river as suit
able place from which to dive and spent
half an hour or more swimming IN the
river In making a dive King must have
struck his head, or become unconscious
in some way, for he failed to rise to the
surface for several minutes, and then
only to Immediately disappear. His COM
panions searched for him in vain for
nearly an hour but could find no trace of
the body.
Yesterday word was brought to this
city. and the police boat crew finally re
covered the remains. George w. Donald
son. a magistrate of Alexandria County,
Va, was notified of the accident. and he
viewed the body of King yesterday.
