New York, june Pr. q. Dun q
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says to-
day: Trade at the east Is more quiet,
owing to the advancing season. and
the bad effect of prolonged labor con-
troversies is being felt in certain lines.
Reports from the Interior and the far
west are more encoura ging. bountiful
harVeSts being expected, while the lit
tie stocks carried over from the pre-
Vious season assure profitable prices.
The best Indication of continued pros
perity is the fact that quotations do
not recede, even in the lines where ut
present there is only moderate de-
gree of activity. Railway earnings thus
far reported for June increased 30 per
cent. over 1000.
Uncertainty regarding their ability
to secure pig iron ut reasonable prices
is making producers of steel cautious
in accepting contracts that call for de-
livery at even remote dates. Soft coal

prevail in eastern dry goods and foot

ket has revived purchases for export
to China. Supplemental buying in all
textile lines are firmly held. Leather is

INTERESTING FACTS.
For Nearly Every Man, Woman or
Child.

A short time ago we published an
article recommending to our readers
the new discovery for the cure Of
Dyspepsia, called Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, and the claims then made re-
garding the wonderful curative prop
critics of the remedy have been abund-
antly sustained by the facts. People
who were cautious about trying new
remedies advertised in the newspapers
and were finally induced to give Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets trial were
surprised and delighted at the results.
In many cases a single package costing
but so cents ut any drug store made q
complete cure and in every instance
the most beneficial results were report
ed. From hundred or more received
we have space to publish only q few of
the latest but assure our readers we
receive so many commendatory letters
that we shall publish each week n
fresh list of genuine. unsolicited tes-
timonials and never publish the same
one twice.
From James Yemmeisler, LaCross,
Wis: Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
doing me more good than anything i
ever tried and l was so pleased at re-
suits that gave away several boxes
to my friends who have also had the
same benefits.
From Jacob Anthony. portmurray,
New Jersey: I have taken Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets with the best re-
suits. I had Dyspepsia for years and
had taken. a great deal Of medicine,
but the Tablets seem to take right q
hold and I feel good. ] am a farmer
and lime burner and I heartily recon-
mend to everyone who has any trouble
with his stomach to use these Tablets.
From Mrs. NJ. *. West, Preston,
Mimi: I have received surprisingly
good effects from using Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. ] gave one-half of my
last box to n friend who also suffered
from Indigestion and she had the same
good results.
From Mrs. Agnes *. Ralston. Cadil-
lac, Mich: ! have been taking STU
arts Dyspepsia Tablets and / am very
much better. and feel very grateful
for the great benefit l have received
in SO short a time.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a GER
tain cure for all forms of Indigestion.
They are not claimed to be a cure
all, but are prepared for stomach
troubles only and physicians and
druggists everywhere recommend them
to all persons suffering from Nervous
Dyspepsia, sour or acid stomach,
heartburn, bloating or wind on ston-
ach and similar disorders.

THE DEAD SEA.
From the Chicago Record

From the Chicago Record-Ileruld.
Scientific observation justifies the
estimate that a daily average OF $780,
900 tons of water is received into the
Dead sea from the Jordan and other
sources during the year. During the
rainy season the amount is very much
greater; DUNG the dry season 1t Is, of
course. very much less; but this aver
age VIII be maintained year after year.
There is no outlet and the level Is kept
down by evaporation only. which is
very rapid because of the intense heat,
the dry atmosphere and the dry winds
which are constantly blowing down the
gorges between the mountains.
This evaporation causes a haze or
mist to hang over the lake at all times,
and, when it is more rapid than usual,
heavy clouds form and thunderstorms
sometimes rage with great violence in
the pocket between the cliffs, even i'm
the dry season. a flood of rain often
falls upon the surface of the sea when
the sun is shining, and the atmosphere
is as dry as a bone half mile from
the shore. The mountains around the
Dea sea are rarely seen with distinct
ness because of this haze.
The waters of the Jordan, when they
reach the sea, are as brown as the
earth through which they how-a
thick solution of mud-but the instant
they mingle with the salt water of the
lake the particles of soil are precipitat.
ed and they become as clear as crys-
tai, with an intensely green tint. Carry
ing so much soil and having so swift
current. one would suppose that the
sea would be discolored for a consider
able distance, but il is not so. The
discoloration is remarkably slight. The
Jordan has quite delta at it's mouth
breaking into a number of streams and
frequently changing its course because
OF the distractions brought down by its
own current

Joseph Gerrity, of Third street, threw
lighted lamp at his wife last night,
shortly after o'clock. and just missed
dashing out her brains by a hairs
breadth. AS 1t was, he set the house
on fire and just escaped being seriously
burned himself.
Gerrlty and his wife live in house
in the rear of Third street, near the
corner OF Fellows street. and the neigh
bors say that he continually abuses her.
He became intoxicated yesterday, and
when he reached home in the early
evening he picked quarrel with his
wife almost Immediately. His fierce
oaths and drunken yells attracted the
attention Of the neighbors shortly be-
fore o'clock, and there was talk of
sending for the police.
Gerrity finally became very much en-
ragged at his wife because of some reply
she made him and he struck her full in
the face, almost knocking her down.
He struck her several other times, and
as she turned in mortal terror to leave
the room he picked up q heavy lamp
and threw it straight across the room.
Mrs. Gerrity saw it coming and
lodged just in time to prevent it from
striking her head. 1t crashed against
the wall and exploded. sending the
burning oil flying about the room. Mrs.
Gerrity got out safely, but her husband
was too intoxicated to move quickly
and was almost hemmed in by the
flames. He managed to stagger through
them and down the stairs, laughing in
drunken manner and reviling his
wife, who had run shrieking to the
home OF a friend nearby. Gerrity dis
appeared before the police arrived.
An alarm OF fire was turned in from
Box AZ. at Fellows and Third streets
and Hose company No. succeeded in
extinguishing the flames after quite a
struggle. The entire rear portion OF the
house was destroyed.
