to work for a salary, and that same man is akin to me to the amount Of many scads-enough anyway to make my local, my foreign and myself kind ly disposed one to another. And the other day I went to see this supposedly friend in need touching this little diff ference. He greeted me kindly, cordial ly, even enthusiastically-sai the bill was perfectly right and for me to call later. I went later He said in the great little matter had been overlooked, but that he would ille the bill at once and for me to call again. I called again. He said, as per his promise me. the bill had been filed. and he would ap- preciate another visit from me. I visited him once more. He said the bill had been filed, and he would have -t checked and for me to return. I returned And this is what he said:
 My dear young friend. as I prom ised you, I have investigated your bill, have had 1t filed also had it checked and it is absolutely correct. and now if you will call the nrst of the year, it shall be paid
 This was the grand finale, the pa- thetic blasting, the total ruination of my dreams and intentions, and that's what makes me say what I do say, to elucid- ate that mans lnhumanity to man makes countless millions mourn

AN OLD ADAGE FROM A
 CHRISTMAS STANDPOINT

"conhdentia1ly speaking said the young man who had just been talking to crowd of other young men as If he was the person who organized the Billion Dollar Steel Trust. "I am thoroughly convinced Of the truth That mans in- humanity to man, make countless mill lions mourn" My own peculiar predica- ment, for example. To keep In the pro- cession. I am an ardent admirer of two fair young creatures-not that I don't admire all fair young creatures but in this matter of ardent admiration, I am guided solely by reciprocity. We'll these two fairies I was speaking of come un- der the head of reciprocity-of course
 them Is local and the other foreign. Both have been exceedingly considerate of me for some time. My local by all the sweet little modest attentions these demure airy fairies know how to be- stow and my foreign by big healthy looking letters telling mo things that I already know, once or twice week.
 Now this Is all very, very nice, and is goodly humanity, but here is where the inhumanity comes in-I have got to do the right thing by these trusting maidens-Christmas Is one day off and well you work on a salary yourself and you know how 'tis But there is a man in this town who has too much sense

deartetrouble. at least among the Ann orleans, ,is certainly increasing and while this maE be largely due to the excitement and worry of American business life, it 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 cr1ganic.
 The clpse relation between heart trou- ble and poor digestion is because both organs snte controlled by the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogas- iris.
 In another way also the heart Is affected by the Dorm of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food. There Is a feeling of op- precision and heaviness in the chest caus- ed by pressure of the distended stom- ach on tlAe heart and lungs, interfering with their saction; hence arises palpitation and short breath.
 Poor digestion also poisons the blood. making 1t thin and watery, which irri- tates and yweakens the heart.
 The mosti sensible treatment for heart trouble is ta5 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 digz estive preparation like Stu arts Dysperl sia Tablets, which may be found at mo st drug stores and which contains valtz lble harmless digestive ele- mauts in a pA easant convenient form.
 It is safe to, say that the regular per- sistsnt use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at m cal time will cure any form of stom- achN trouble ea ,cept cancer of the stom- ach.

 Senor Alcorta, Argentine Minister Of Foreign Affairs. has sent telegraphic communication to Florencio L. Domin- guez, the Minister of Argentina, to Great Britain, in which he informs the latter of the renewal of conciliatory negotia- tions between Argentina and Chill. This step was taken in order that Senor Dom inguez may officially inform the arbitra- tion commission and other. persons in- terested in the matter of the new devel- opments in the situation.

DEvERY ANSWERED.
Counsel for Committee of Fifteen
Replies TO Charge of Ex-Chief.

Counsel for Committee of Fifteen
Replies 10 Charge of Ex-Chief.
New York, Aug. 17.--Deputy Police
Commissioner Devery's charge that
disorderly women are being driven out
of the tenements for political purposes
was answered to-day by Robert G.
Monroe, counsel to the Committee of
Fifteen. Mr.. Monroe said:
There is no doubt that we will be
able eventually to drive this class out
of the tenements. That is the line on
which the committee is working, and
with the aid of the new tenement
house law, we expect to be successful.
OF course, these unfortunates must go
somewhere. When Devery was chief
he understood all we demanded was
that these women should keep to them
selves, should avoid the tenements and
remain in houses used for no other
purpose, and in neighborhoods where
their presence was not particularly OBJ
jectionable."
Commissioner of Police Murphy said
that the whole thing originated in poli-
tics and was aimed at Tammany Hall.

Railroad situation Around AsheviIIe
Leaves Much to BE Desired.
Ashevllle, N. c., Aug. 1.-THE rail-
road situation to-day as a result of the
heavy rains is worse than it has been
at any time during the downpour of
the past week. One man lost his life
in a cavern in a tunnel.
Trains on all lines are completely
tied up and the Ashevlle and Spar
tanburg division of the Southern Rail-
way has practically ceased operations.
No trains have been heard from on
this road to-day. Another big slide oc-
Cured on Saluda mountain to-day.
There are a number of washouts and
the roadbed entirely submerged by
water for long distance is reported
to be the state of affairs on the entire
line from Spartanburg to Asheville.
Train No. 13 from Columbia, due here
yesterday at p. m, reached Asheville
this morning, fifteen hours late.
The run through was only possible
after several transfers, as the road is
blocked in a number of places. Passen-
ger train No. 40 due to leave Ashe-
Vile at p. m, for the South, was an
nulled last night and No. IA going in
the same direction, due to leave here
at 7:O5 o'clock this morning, was not
sent out. 1t is expected that a train
will be run over the Asheville and
Spartanburg division some time dur
ing the night. No. 80 was made up here
this morning and was sent out to Nor
ristown.
There is serious trouble reported on
tha Asheville line between Black

YET UNSETTLED.
In the Fourteenth Trial Constitution
Beats Columbia for the Eighth
Time-Yestcrdny's Race n Matter
of Seconds.

Beats Columbia for the Eighth
Time-Yesterday's Race n Matter
of Seconds.
Larchmont, N. Y, Aug. 17.-To-d days
race between the Constitution and CO.
lumbia was only a matter of seconds.
For the fourteenth time the, two
yachts finished a contest and for the
eighth time the Constitution came out
a winner. To-day's margin was very
small, for she beat the Columbia only
fifty-eight seconds, corrected time. In
elapsed time she won by two minutes
and eighteen seconds. The race was
sailed under conditions that best suited
the Constitution, a steady eight-knot
breeze and smooth sea. 1t was fin
ished in three hours and three min
utes, very nearly tenknot gait, which
was fast time, considering the wind
and the fact that twelve miles of the
course called for windward work, al
though 1t was not dead beat. The
Constitution gained on her rival on
every leg, doing best in reaching. 1t
was fair test of speed, as
the boats got the wind alike
Throughout and there was little
about what the new defender can do
against the old under the conditions
which prevailed, and while many
yachtsmen who have followed the
beats are disappointed that the differ
ence between them was not greater,
quite as many more are satisfied that
the Constitution, before the trying out
is over, will have proved sufficient SUI
periority to warrant her selection as
the cup defender. The crowding of the
course to-day by steam yachts, small
sail boats and launches was the only
unpleasant feature of the racing. Time
after time the committee warned off
the encroaching boats and once half a
dozen Constitution sailors were yelling
at steam yachts to get out of the way
of the big sloops The racing was so
close at all times that a small boat
coming too close could have changed
the result.

FROM LOWER MOBILE BAY.
Widespread Damage Reported But
Yet No Loss of Life.

as 1et NO LOSS OF Lie.
Mobile, Ala, Aug. 1.-THE first ad-
vices received from the lower bay since
the storm came to-day by the United
States quartermasters steamer Poe.
For three hours the storm blew at the
rate of sixty miles an hour at the fort
Three kitchens of the officers quarters
were blown down. The mess hall was
badly damaged and the building ad-
joining was unroofed. The tents used
by the workmen were blown away.
The old shed on the quarantine break
water was washed off. The railroad
track acted as a breakwater for the
camp, but finally gave way and the
camps were flooded with water waist
deep. The schooner Foster Rice was
dismantled, but all hands are reported
safe. A small schooner hailing from
Bay st. Louis is ashore on Sand ISL
and, and large cattle steamer is said
to be ashore eight miles east of Pen
sacola. The storm is said to have cut
Sand Island into three parts.
AT Fort Gains the United States
engineers docks were badly damaged
The slop used for carrying passengers
and freight from Fort Gains to Fort
Morgan is on the beach.
The small wharf on the north side
of the fort was blown down.

SHAMROCK FL0ATED.
The Challenger Now Ready for the
Finishing Touches.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE Shamrock
II was fioated out of dry dock to-day
and was taken to Tompkinsville, S. l.,
where the finishing touches will be put
on the racer. Before she left the dock
she was painted a light green above
the water line. Sir Thomas Lipton's
people hope to have the Shamrock IL
in readiness for a cruise Off the Hook
on Wednesday to greet her owner when
he comes in on the Teutonic due that
day. Capt. Sycamore, who witnessed
yesterdays race between Constitution
and Columbia, when asked to-day what
he thought of these two boats remark
ed that they were so much alike that
he did not care much which one would
be put against the Shamrock H. He
thought, however. that the Constitution
was much finer finished boat than
the Columbia. and that so far as he
could judge there was little difference
in the sailing qualities of the two
American yachts.

FROM PENSACOLA.
No Additional Damage to Shipping
and no Loss of Life Reported.

Pensacola, Fla, Aug. 17.-No addi-
tional damage to shipping by the storm
has been reported, and so far as known
there was no loss of life here. The New
York-Pensacola lined Evelyn, reported
ashore at the mouth of Perdido bay,
twelve miles west of Pensacola bar, is
not in as critical condition as first re-
ported. Capt. RIGHT went in a small
boat up Perdido bay to Millview and
from there by wagon to this city to-
day. He says his steering gear went
wrong and his vessel stuck her nose in
the sand in about eight feet of water,
where she was somewhat protected
from the main force of the storm.
A survey was held to-day. The ves-
sci Is not leaking. and it is believed she
can be pulled off without damage to
her hull. A contract was made with
r. A. Hyer to discharge her cargo on
barges and tow it to this city. The
cargo consists of 1000 tons of coffee
and $50 tons of general merchandise.
The work of raising the small vessels
that sank in the bay is progressing.
The cypress lumber cargo of the
schooner Torgugas from Mobile for
Apalachicola is being unloaded and the
vessel will be raised.
