New York, March e.-President Galloway
of the New York Central Railroad, who is
a director of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad, denied positively to-day that any
lease of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
to the Pennsylvania Railroad was contem-
plated.
For come days rumors have been circulate
ed in Wall street accompanying the rise
in the shares of the stock market that the
road was likely to be turned over to the
Pennsylvania Railroad. These umor
were published in the morning newspapers,
with circumstantial details of a 999-year
lease with 8 per cent guarantee, but Mr..
Galloway said the whole story was news
to him: he had never heard of It before.
On Wednesday of this week there was an
important meeting of the Chesapeake and
Ohio directors in this city, at which all
three Pennsylvania directors were present
witt Mr.. Galloway. the other two Wander
bilt directors. Mr.. Depew and Mr.. Twom-
bley. being out Of the city. the latter in
the South. This meeting was mostly taken
up with plans for developing the traffic
carrying capacity OF the Chesapeake and
Ohio, particularly terminal engagements at
Newport News. A lease Of the road. or any
change in its present status, was not dis
cussed.
While, therefore, If any plan for leasing
the Chesapeake and Ohio is carried out, it
would seem as If 1t must be a later devel-
opment, there is good reason to believe
that Pennsylvania has been increasing its
stock holdings in the seaboard soft coal
carrying lines, and 1t may be holding near
er a majority Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
stock than that embraced in its earlier pur-
chases.

HEART DISEASE.
Jome Facts Regarding the Rapid In

Jome Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease of Heart cub
Heart trouble, at least among the Ameri-
cans, is certainly increasing. and while this
may be largely due to the excitement and
worry Of American business life, it is more
often the result Of weak stomachs, Of poor
digestion.
organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
n poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves, the
Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
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 a feeling OF oppression and
heaviness in the chest. caused by pressure
of the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs. interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood.
making 1t thin and watery, which i~rritates
md 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 Stuart's Dyspsp-
sia Tablets, which may be found at most
drug stores, and which contain valuable,
harmless digestive elements in a pleasant,
convenient 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 cancer Of the stomach.

An Injustice Done.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-In my opinion, n Of the most
unjust criticisms ever published was
that in the Register of last Sunday, in
which structures were made upon the
Board of Trade because certain results
had not been arrived at in the brief
space of time during which the organiz-
alton has been in existence. I would
like to impress the impatient writer
with the fact that much has been done.
and also to ask him to exercise a little
patience. Rome was not builded In a
day, nor can a Board of Trade, however
energetic, work miracles in a few weeks
or months.
AS a member of N of the commit
tees I know that good has been done,
and that the foundation has been laid
for future benefits. l have given my
time and attention, also my money, to
the furtherance of the work going on,
while realizing that l personally would
not be benefited if fifty new factories
were brought here. l am simply striv-
ing for the good of the community, as
/ know others are. and we should all
pull together. Such structures as those
of last Sunday are unjust and unwar-
ranted, and for one I desire to enter a
protest as one Of a
COMMITTEE.

REVENUE STAMPS
To Be Redeemed-COncerninE Stamps
on Checks and Drafts.


For the information of the public the
Internal Revenue Bureau has issued a
statement regarding the war revenue
reduction act which becomes operative
July LIST, 1901, and which the Treasury
officials are actively making prepare
tions to carry into effect The state
ment says: "All documentary and
proprietary revenue stamps in the
hands of purchasers on and after July
LIST, 1901, will be redeemed by the gov
eminent under the provisions of the
act of May 18th, 1900" Such stamps
should be presented for redemption by
the owners thereof to the Collector Of
Internal Revenue, from whom they
were purchased, who will supply the
applicant with necessary forms and in
structions for the preparation of his
claim. 1t is probable that regulations
will be prepared and issued providing
for the redemption of imprinted docu-
mentary stamps without requiring the
destruction of the checks or drafts on
which they are imprinted. No definite
calculation can be made as to the sum
total of the stamps which probably will
be sent in for redemption on and after
July list, 1901.

Water Meters.

the Editor of the Register
Sir:-While the wave Of reform is
enguling the Water Board, it might
be a good time to take another impor-
tant step which has not yet been sug-
gested, in so far as | know. l refer
to placing meters upon water consum-
ers. 1t is certainly a fair method of
charging for water. The heavy con-
sumers will kick, as a matter of course,
but it will equalize on the other end,
and no injustice will be done to any
body. 1t is the only correct method
of requiring subscribers to pay in pro-
portion to the amount which they con-
sumo. If the water supply were fur
nished by a private corporation in
stead of the municipality this is a
step which would have been taken
long ago.
The meter system would have anoth-
er and very important advantage over
the present system, in that it would
prevent the present reckless waste OF
water. If subscribers knew that
while leaving water u constantly, a
meter was silently recording the guam
tity wasted, which the subscriber
would have to pay for, there would
be infinitely more care exercised. In
troduce the meter system, and there
will be no necessity for increasing res
ervoir capacity for years to come. The
daily consumption will be cut down
very materially; the water rents will
be fairly distributed; and no subscrib-
err will suffer an injustice.
