MLAURIN AND ROOSEVELT.
The Junior Senator Holds a Good
Hand at the White House-The
Coilectorship Appointment De-

Washington, Oct. 17.-President
Roosevelt to-day assured Senator Nc
Laurin that it will probably be two
weeks before he is ready to appoint a
collector OF internal revenue in South
Carolina. This is the net result of a
consultation between the President
and the junior Senator from South
Carolina, lasting nearly an hour.
All efforts to induce the President to
fruther consider LOOMS Blalock have
been unavailing, and it is now init
mated that DR.. Clayton. who seemed
to be sure of appointment few DAYS
ago, is also out of the contest. An
other Richmond is in the field, and it
is whipsered that the announcement
of his name will cause a greater sur.
prise than did the unexpected turn
down of Blalock
Senator McLaurin went to the White
House this morning upon the invita-
ton of the President, and was the first
official caller to enter the Cabinet
room. There the whole South Carolina
situation was discussed. Senator Nc
Laurin upon leaving the White House
declined to divulge the secrets of The
conference. He simply said that he
had very courteous and satisfactory
talk with the President on the sit
uation in the South generally and also
said that the South Carolina collector
ship was also touched upon, but be-
yond that he could say nothing as tc
what the outcome might be.

GAVE THEM A SHOCK.
Presidents Entertainment of wash
ingtOn Causes Some Talk.

Presidents Entertainment of wash
ingtOn Causes Some Talk.
Washington, Oct. 17.-President
Roosevelt caused great surprise to
many of his recently acquired South
ern friends and admirers by inviting
Prof. Booker T. Washington, the noted
negro college president. to dine at the
White House last night Prof Wash
ington went there without other
guests.
Former Presidents refrained from ex-
tending dinner invitations to such noted
negro leaders as Fred Douglass, B. X.
Bruce, r. B. Elliot, P. B. S. Pinch
beck and Bishop Turner. These and
other prominent members of the COL
ored race, occupying official positions,
either in the legislative or executive
branch of the public service, were in
vited to the public receptions at the
White House. and always went without
exciting comment.
In connection with the Booker T.
Washington incident, an occurrence at
Albany. during Mr.. Roosevelt's term as
Governor which has never found it's
way into print, will be of interest at
this time. young colored man, who
sings baritone in st. Georges Church
in New York, gave a concert in AL
bany. He was a very good singer and
a well behaved and intelligent fellow,
but when he got to Albany all the ho-
tells were shut to him. He had no
place to go. Gov. Roosevelt heard of
this and sent for the young singer and
invited him to the executive mansion.
where he was lodged and fed during
his stay in the capital.

HEART DISEASE
some Facts Regarding the Rapid
Increase of Heart Trouble.

Heart troubles. at least among the
Americans. are certainly increasing
and while this may be largely due to
the exciteme emit and worry of American
business life it is more often the re-
suit of Weak stomachs. of poor diges-
ton.
Real organic disease is incurable, but
not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is org anic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves. the sympathetic ana
PneumogastS'ic.
In another way, also the heart is af-
fected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half dLgested food. There is a
feeling of oppression and heaviness in
the chest caused by pressure of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs,
interfering with their action, hence
arises palpitataon and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making il thin and watery. which irri-
tates and weal1ens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to improve the diges-
ton and to insure the prompt assim-
ilation of food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe. pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets which may
be found at most drug stores, and
which contain valuable, harmless di-
gestive elements in pleasant conven-
lent form.
1t is safe to say that the regular
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form of stomach trouble except can
Ger of the stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets
sold by druggists at so cents. Little
book on stomach troubles mailed free.

Edward VI. shepard's First Speech
in Tammnny Hall.
New York, Oct. 1.-THE Democratic
mass meeting at Tammany Hall to-
night brought together an immense
number of people. They damned them
selves into the hall and packed Four
teenth street and adjacent thorough
fares until the $50 policemen detailed
to the meeting had their hands full to
prevent serious accidents from the
crush
The announced speakers in Tam
many Hall included the chairman, Col.
George Is. Mcclellan, Edward NJ. Shep-
ard, w. w. Laid, Jr., Henry w. Unger,
George NJ. Van Heesen, Amos ]. Cum
mings, Henry Goldfogle, Congressman
William Sulzer, Thomas c. T. Grain
and Thomas F. Grady. Other local
orators talked to the outside crowd
from four stands which had been erect
ed for the purpose.
The speech of Mr.. Shepard, the can
didate for Mayor, was the first he had
ever delivered in Tammany Hall. He
said in opening:
1T is well known to you, and 1t
seems to be a chief part of the capital
of my distinguished competitor, that l
have from time to time, and more espe-
cially four years ago, been hostile to
Tammany Hall and criticised it with
out stint.
II am not here to excuse or recede
from anything that 1 have said. If it
were possible for me, as it is not, to
make any such excuse, 1 should, what
ever might be the increase of your lik-
ing for me, lose the respect of the
voters of Tammany Hail. a genuine re-
spect, which will be of far more con-
sequence to me and the success of my
administration if l be chosen mayor,
than any liking / may gain in this
campaign. Whatever my political for
tunes may be this fall, you shall have
no occasion to withdraw from me the
confidence you have shown in my in
tegrity and steadfastness of purpose
by reason of any abandonment-even
the slightest-of the standard of public
conduct and political behavior which l
have set up in the past"
Mr. Shepard declined to make any
promises whatever as to removals or
appointments in the event of his cleo
ton.
