SOME FAVOR SALE
 OF THE ISLANDS
AVERAGE DANISH WEST INDIAN DOES NOT OBJECT TO TRANS FER OF HIS COUNTRY TO THE UNITED STATES.

New York, January 2S.-rhe special cor respondent of the Tribune at St. Thomas Danish West Indies, sends the following in connection with the proposed trans fer of the island to the United States:
 "what puzzles the average Danish West Indian more than anything else is the impression which seems to gain ground in America and elsewhere that he objects to the transfer of these is lands, and a plebiscite is necessary. Apart from the fact that there was so many different nationalties in the Danish West Indies that it would be a matter of great difficulty to arrive at a just con clusion in the plebiscite, it may be con fidently asserted that not such wish has been expressed, and if 1t were possible to take a vote under such circumstances 1t will be in favor of the transfer.
 Our people are now looking forward to the change, believing there can be nothing save prosperity for these fs- lands should it take place.
 There has been little excitement here the last few days owing to a rumor that the sale was of" At St. Croix an off, set to the telegram sent to the finance minister and the Rgsdag by 146 leading inhabitants among whom were forty planters representing 4000O out of 50,- 900 acres of cultivated land of the island, praying for the sale. An opposition list was started. The few property holders that were overlooked refused to sign it but the officials and few policemen did so.
 The St. Croix Avis In a letter from the rector of the Anglican church exposes the manner in which anti-sale signatures were obtained to list in Bassin to other town. This list was sent by cable to the prime minister at Copenhagen on the 9th inst. It protests against the telegram sent by forty planters and 146 proprietors already alluded to, characterizng them as American capitalistss and asks his Excelency to use his influence to keep St. Croix under the Danish flag under the condition that mother country will find means to meet the cultivation of sugar which at present finds itself in most critical position remunerative to this island
 This was signed by three Danish plan ters, two merchants and 215 o,--er persons all eminently respectable but not employ CTS of nearly two-thirds of the island la borers, who will shortly be without em- ployment unless some change takes place, for even the protestantS against the sale admit the critical position of the sugar industry.

 But it is not generally known that the Tablets are just as good and wholesome for little folks as for their elders
 Little children who are pale, thin and have no appetite, or do not grow or thrive should use the Tablets after eating and will derive great benefit from them.
 Mrs G.. H. Crotsley. 5SS Washington St. Hoboken, New Jersey writes Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets just fill the bill for children as well as for older folks. I've had the best of luck with them, My year-old girl takes them as readily as candy l have only to say tablets and she drops everything else and runs for them"
 X Buffalo mother, short time ago. who despaired of the life of her babe was so delighted with the results from giving the child these tablets that she went be- fore the notary public of Erie Co., N' f'' and made the following affidavit;
 entlemen:-Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets were recommended to me for my two- months-old baby, which was sick and puny and the doctors said was suffering from indigestion l took the child to the hospital but there found no relief. A friend mentioned the Stuart Tablets and l procured a box from my druggist and used only the large sweet lozenges in the box and was delighted to find they were just the thing for my baby. l feel jus tified in saying that Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets saved my child's life.
 ui4 MRS. w. T. DETHLOPE. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 12th day of April. 1897.
 HENRY KARIS, Notary Public in and for Erie Co.,, N. Y. For babies, no matter how young or delicate. the Tablets will accomplish wonders in increasing flesh, appetite and growth. Use only the large sweet Tablets in every box. Full-sized boxes are sold by all druggists for 50 cents, and no pa rent should neglect the use of this safe remedy for all stomach and bowel troubles if the child is ailing in any way regarding its food or assimilation.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been known for years as the best preparation for all stomach troubles whether in adults or infants.
