SENATOR HANNA
 WRITES OF M'KINLEY
DURING THE PRESIDENTS LAST ILLNESS HE PATHETICALLY ASKED mS MARCH HERE PA SWEET REMEMBRANCE.

New York December 26.-In a copy righted article in the National Magazine United States Senator Mark Hanna of Ohio writes at length concerning the late President William Mckinley. In conclusion the writer gives the following "reminiscences:
 'I know of nothing In all history that can compare with the splendid climax and ending of this noble life. One of the sweetest consultations that comes to me is the memory that on Tuesday preceding his death he asked to see a newspaper, and when he was told not today he asked is Mark Nere?'
 Yes MT. President, was the re- sponse, and In that one sweet last re- membrance was a rich reward for the years of devotion which it had always been my pleasure to give him. There was nothing in the expression of his face or manner denoting exultation over his victory when it was announced that he was elected President. He seemed to placed upon him, and the quiet dignity and self-possession which marked the man then and In days after were just what his personal friends expected of him. The first day l greeted him after he was inaugurated at the White House. ir the course of our conversation, I inad- vertently called him Major and Cover nor and when I stopped to correct my self he would say, Each one Is fitting. am not particular which,"

Heart trouble at least among the Am ericans, is certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of American business life, 1t is more often the result of weak stom- achs, of poor digestion.
 Real organic disease in incurable; but not one case in a hundred of heart trou- ble is organic.
 The close relation between heart trou- ble and poor digestion is because both organs are controlled by the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogas- tris.
 In another way also the heart is affected by the form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food. There is feeling of op pression and heaviness in the chest caus- ed by pressure of the distended stom- ach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their action; hence arises palpltation and short breath.
 Poor digestion also poisons the blood making it thin and watery, which irri- tates and weakens the heart
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouble is to improve the digestion and to insure the prompt assimilation of food.
 This can be done by the regular use after meals of some safe, pleasant and effective digestive preparation like Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores, and which contains valuable. harmless digestive ele- ments in a pleasant, convenient form.
 It is safe to say that the regular per- sfstent use of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stom- ach trouble except cancer of the stom- ach.

ANNIVERSARY OF
 TRENTON BATTLE
IN SHAM BATTLE THE FORCES OF GENERALS WASHINGTON, SUL. LIVAN AND HESTER INSPIRED GREAT MULTITUDE.

Trenton, N. J., December 26.-The one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the battle of Trenton was elaborately eel ebrated here today. The sham battle did not commence until after 10 o'clock, ow- ing to the lateness of the arrival of the guards from out of town points.
 Three forces of General Washington, General Sullivan and the Hessians for more than an hour occupied the streets and covered the ground that was gone over in the original battle, and a realistic picture of that battle was presented, ex- cept the suffering American forces under- went from the cold weather and the in- sufficiency of clothing.
 The sham battle began near the bat tie monument and continued down War ren and Broad streets, the Hessian forces under Colonel Gilmore of the Second Regiment retreating and halting at short distances, firing on the advancing Amer ican army. This continued until the sur render at two points, one in front of the postoffice on East State street and the other on South Broad street.
 During the battle there was continuous firing of the guns and cannons. After the surrender the military was reformed
 
 plemented by more than 1000 members of the civic organizations of the city. In the parade was the second battery of New Jersey Guards, consisting of the Second and Third Regiments under com mand of General Cooper
 The parade was revived by Governor Vorhees and large number of state of- ficials. The indoor celebration took place at o'clock this afternoon at the opera house. Major Briggs introduced Gov ernor Vorhees as the presiding officer. The principal speaker was Profesosr Wilson of Princeton, who delivered an address on the battle of Trenton.
 Taylor opera house, where the indoor celebration took place, was packed from pit to dome. Governor Vorhees, as the presiding officer, made but brief ad- dress. Professor Wilson of Princeton University, in his address. touching on the history of the battle of Trenton, spoke of the ideals of America. "Our progress during l--e last 125 years was a natural evolution. It was not until the war of 1872" he said, that we began to assume our position as a nation of the world. Our expansion from time to time was a natural growth, finding a culmi- nation in the acquiring of the Philip pines a result of the recent war with Spain"
