ANARCHISTS NOISY.

The announcement of the visit of
Prince Henry of Germany affords an
archists an excuse for being more noisy
than usual. Their publications contain
yelled threats against him, and there
is promise of great activity among
them during the time he is in this
country. Chicago is the center OF the
anarchistic noise and from all accounts
there is now being prepared in that
city an ,anarchistic programme for the
period of the Princes visit.
DR.. Viewer, the German consul at
Chicago, called on Mayor Harrison on
Monday and asked him what provision
had been made for the safety of the
Prince during the latter's visit to that
city. He said that if there was appre
hension of danger from anarchists the
programme of the Prince would be
changed-that the Prince would not
visit Chicago. The Mayor said that
every precaution would be taken for
the Princes protection, and that he
would be in no more danger i'm Chi
CdSO IMAM III any Ol1SE Guy IL iut
country
The Prince will be safe in Chicago.
The anarchists will not attempt any
violence when they know they are
watched. And they will be watched
closely while the distinguished visitor
is in Chicago.
There is nothing to be feared from
anarchists who are well known. They
are not the ones who commit acts OF
violence. They are too cowardly for
that. They depend for violence upon
those who become victims of their
teachings.
Prince Henry will be in no more dan
ger from anarchists in this country
than he is in his own. In fact not so
much as there are not nearly so large
a percentage of anarchists here as
there.

The Bank Account Was Short.

Here is a story of two well known
young Baltimoreans, whom We will
caH Mr.. Tom Blank and Mr.. Dick So
and-So. Each prides himself on being
absolutely up-to-date and up to snuff
in all particulars, says the Baltimore
Sun. Tom called around to see Dick
one morning a short time ago, and had
scarcely passed through the door be-
sfore Dick exclaimed:
BY Georgei The Very man. Say,
Tom, | want to go to Boston this af-
ternoon, and 1 need SIS. 1 wish you'd
let me have it. l really wouldn't ask
you. but see my position
Yes replied Tom, "a shot of touch
and-go or no-touch-no-go position. You
are better off at home, Dick. It's very
cold in Boston,
Somewhat frosty here, too, it
seems said Dick. But it's all joke,
old man. Come in and sit down.
Haven't time" said Tom. 81 just
stepped around to see if you wouldn't
let me have that 500 you already owe
me-if it's perfectly convenient"
Dick seemed to make a hurried mem
tai calculation. and then told his friend
that he would give him a check for
that amount, but didn't think he had
quite that much in bank.
But you can go down and see he
added.
So Tom took the check, invited Dick
to go to the theater with him that
evening, and hurried down to bank.
The paying teller took the check,
strolled back, looked at Dicks account
and returned to the window, shaking
his head.
How much does it take to make it
good?' asked Tom.
Not allowed to tell'' replied the
teller.
Tom went to the receiving teller and
deposited $40 to Dicks credit, but that
didn't make the check good. Another
$40 and still others were put up, with
the same result, until Tom began to
perspire and the bank people to laugh.
Finally Tom deposited his tenth $40,
with the remark that it was a tough
game to be up against, and he again
presented the check, only to be met
with another shake of the teller's head
and the information VERY sorry, Mr.
Blank, but that account was some
what overdrawn."
Tom gave it up and dashed out of
the bank. He had no sooner gone than
Dick sauntered in, and asking how
much he had to his credit, was told
$95.
Just cash me this check for $780, he
said, and if you see Tom Blank to-
day tell him I'm awfully sorry can
not be able to see him this evening,
as | have decided to take that little
Boston trip we were talking about this
morning"

MED sometimes with sour or watery
risings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing, headaches, tickle ap-
petite, nervousness and a general play
ed-out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the inter-
ior of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny. infiamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstin-
ate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate mu-
cuous surfaces of the stomach. To Sc
cure a prompt and healthy digestion is
the one necessary thing to do and when
normal digestion is secured the ca
tarrhal condition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet composed of Dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Col
den Seal and fruit acids. These tab
lets can now be found at all drug stores
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and not being patent medl-
cine can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion will follow their
regular use after meals.

rmE Oh ANn Tie xnw LEApER.


Mr.. Richard Croker is on the ocean.
bound for England, and Mr.. Lewis
Nixon is the recognized head of Tam
many Hall. There is much specula-
ton in New York as to whether Mr..
Croker will ever be a factor in the
political situation in that city again.
In the speech he made at the dinner
given in his honor the night before
his departure, he said that he was
out of politics for all time. There IS
no reason to doubt that he was sin
cere in making that statement. It
is not improbable that he will make
England his permanent home. If the
truth were known the chances are that
it would appear that he has been 50
shaping his affairs for several years
as TO spend the remaining years of
his life in that country.
There is no doubt that it was his
influence that put Mr.. Nixon at the
head of Tammany. The question Is
will Mr.. Nixon be able to hold that
position? There are good reasons for
thinking he win not. The men who
have dominated 'Tammany have been
force of character. Tweed, Kelly and
Croker were all men of strong per-
sonality. They fought their way up
from the ranks, and held the leader
ship simply because there was no or e
who could dislodge them.
ic NTH, N-;voz
is beginning at the top, and in his fare
well speech Mr.. Croker said that he
was better than his party. That was
not pleasing 10 the district leaders and
the lieutenants. They will not be long
in finding out whether he is enough
better than his party to remain at the
head of the organization.
In political circles in New York the
impression seems to prevail that his
leadership will be of short duration
The intimation is thrown out that he
has very little ability for political
management or liking for the kind of
politics that is required in the leader
of Tammany. He is a man of abil-
ity- There is no doubt of that, but it
is in the line of his profession, namely,
that of a designer and builder of ships.
The story is going the rounds that it
is to please his wife that he is inter-
esting himself in politics. She is a
very ambitious woman, if accounts are
to be credited, and would like to see
her husband a great figure in politics
She may be able to give him advice
that will help him to remain at the
head of Tammany for a little while,
but it would not be surprising if he
should cease to be a force on the po-
litical chess board before the next
municipal campaign in New York. If
he had won the place he occupies he
would of course hold it. The district
leaders would acknowledge his right
to it, but they will never be his willing
subordinates until he proves his right
to be their leader, until he demon
strates that he is master of the sit
uat!on. That he can do this is doubt
full.
