MRS. NATION AT
THE HORSE SHOW
Makes Speech in Front of the

SHE VISITS THE CAFE

New York Nov. 21.-Mrs. Carrie Ma
ton has created sensation at the horse
show. She harangued the great gath
ering on the evils of overdressing, at
tempted to break a bottle of champagne.
and finally was elected from the build
ing by the police.
Mrs. Nation entered the garden quiet
ly and took a seat in the tier. She had
been there only few minutes when her
gaze rested on the box where some
members of the Vanderbilt family were
sitting She studied her programme
and then descended to the promenade.
Stationing herself in front of the Van
derbilt box. she delivered a TRADE on
overdress. IN the box were seated Mrs.
Alfred G. Vanderbilt. Reginald Wander
bilt and Miss Nicholson. Alfred G. Van
derbilt was leaning against the rail OF
the promenade, and did not see Mrs
Nation approach
You ought to be ashamed of your
selves" the woman screamed at them.
You ought to be ashamed to wear such
disgraceful clothes. Take them off, take
them off, and attire yourselves more
mOdestly."
Alfred C. Vanderbilt hastily left his
position at the rail and came over to
where Mrs. Nation was standing and
wiping her forehead with a handker-
chief. He whispered something in her
ear and pushed her away. The outburst
of the woman attracted a great crowd of
people, and the occupants of the Van
derbilt box were evidently very much
embarrassed.
Mrs. Nation then turned her attention
to other boxes. Finally she started for
the cafe. where she bore down on a
party of men who were drinking wine.
Mrs. Nation seized a bottle, and glazing
at the men shouted: Young men, don
drink such filthy stuff You are going
straight to hell. Where is the man who
sells this stuff? Show him to me, and 1
will tell him what think of him. Mrs.
Nations request was speedily granted
by the sudden arrival of NJ. Villepigue.
the caterer at the garden.
Get out of this horrible business >
she shouted at him You are also GO
ing to hell and running the bodies and
souls of men. You are dragging them
down with you. Shame on you'll Shame
on yoEl"
The Frenchman, however. ran to Mrs.
Nation and rescued the bottle, which she
had repeatedly brandished in the air to
emphasize her remarks. Then he pushed
her out of the door. Here the police
took hold of the Kansas reformer and
forced her out of the building.

PUTTING IT STRONG
But Doesn't 1t Look ReasonabIea

This may read as though we were
putting it a little strong, because it is
generally thought by the majority of
people that dyspepsia in it's chronic form
is incurable or practically so. But we
have long since shown that dyspepsia
is durable, nor is it such a difficult mat
ter as at first appears.
The trouble with dyspeptics is that they
are continually dieting, starving them
selves, or going to opposite extreme or
else deluging the already overburdened
pills." ETC., which invariably increase the
difficulty even If in some cases they do
give a slight temporary relief Such

same time the body nourished and sus-

This is a great secret and this is also
the secret of the uniform success of

comparatively new remedy. but its sue

are also the cheapest and give the most

WILL TACKLE THE TRUSTS.
Not Known Though What Congress
Win Do With Them.

Washington. Nov. 21.-Representative
Hit Of Illinois, chairman of the house
committee on foreign affairs, has ar
rived in Washington In discussing to-
day the prospects for legislation during
the short session, Mr.. Hit said:
Il believe that the trust question will
receive serious attention at the coming
session. There certainly will be a re
port on the subject whether any legisla-
ton is enacted or not. This report will
indicate the general trend of thought
on the part of the Republican party
and will show what may be expected in
the future.
The tariff commission may be ap-
pointed. although exactly what may be
accomplished in that way may be con-
sidered somewhat of a question. A
commission to consider the tariff is not
a new idea or method of dealing with
that question. Congress appointed such
a commission in 1882 and the report of
that commission was the initial ground
work fer the legislation which followed.
although congress took up the question
and considered it thoroughly from its
own point of view"

ON AN ELEVATED TRAIN.
Lyman ]. Gage Has a Tilt With a
Passenger.

New York, Nov. 21.-Lyman ]. Gage,
former secretary of the treasury, has m ct
the man who wants all the room in an
elevated railroad car and has vanquished
him.
Mr.. Gage was on his way to business in
a Sixth avenue train from Fifty-eighth
street in the morning rush hour. He had
to hold a strap. The car was filled. The
elderly banker found himself pushed by
a tall very well dressed, somewhat pom
pous-looknrs man.
The newcomer had way of clinging to
the strap that turned his elbow out at
right angles The elbow hit Mr.. Gage
in the back of the head, knocking off his
big felt hat
Now. the banker is the most easy-going
of men. He replaced the hat, looked
once at his tall neighbor and said moth
ing. In a moment the elbow played the
same trick
Mr.. Gage was carrying a neatly rolled
umbrella that had a steel rod for back
bone He Unanswered this so that it
prodded the other man sharply at about
the fifth rib. Soon the hat went off again
and the rib was punched again
Say, what do you mean by stabbing
me in that way?" demanded the man with
the elbow. fiercely.
Then why do you keep knocking my
hat OFF," said Mr.. Gage
You ought to go downtown in a cab
by yourself sneered the elbower-

everybody who rides on the elevated were
like you"
The passengers roared at the retorts of
the grave and dignifed banker in whom
few recognized Mr.. Gage The two men
kept UP a running fire of uncomplmen-
tary conversation all the way to Rector
street. where both got off. But the ell
bow was kept down and the umbrella 5

A GOOD SAMARITAN
Being Helped Himself Wishes to Help
Others.

The papers were never so filled with
advertisements Of remedies that will
cure every known disease, as they are
today; these are invariably accompanied
by letters from people testifying in the
strongest terms to the virtue and merit
of the particular preparation advertised;
but because so much is claimed for the
medicine, it has come to the point where
most readers regard such testimonials
as pure fakes and made up out of
whole cloth
We are glad, however, to vouch for
the reliability of the following from Mr.
VIM Underwater. proprietor of the
largest printing house in Canton, Ohio
regarding the Pyramid Pile Cure. for
which nothing is claimed except that it
will cure any and every form of piles.
For several months past I have re-
ceived SO many inquiries from sufferers
asking if my testimonial is authentic,
that I am inclined to send in a bill to
you for postage and stationery.
It is now two years since / was last

clean as any man who never had piles,
although 1 suffered with protruding.

happy to say I believe L am cured, after

What will cure one man will some
times not cure another; whether it was
the Pyramid Pile Cure that cured me-
l cannot say; but l have been free from
piles for two years after using your
treatment 1 leave sufferers to draw
their own conclusions
I will answer any coTnmunica ton that
a sufferer may ask, and will refer to any
business house, bank or manufacturer
of Canton, Ohio, concerning my identity,

Crop Cut in Central Park at Late
Date.

New York, Nov. 21.-The sound of the
haymakers was heard in Central park
today. The whetting OF the scythe, the
falling of grass, ana the tumbling of it
into haystacks was going on just as If
it We're the early part of summer, in
stead of the latter part of November.
The hayma lSers were half a. dozen en-
ployes of the park department, and the
hay field was the meadow land west OF
Fifth avenue, between the Metropolitan
Museum of Art and Eighty-sixth street.
The grass was heavy and tall, but it
was hard to cut. The date breaks the
record for gathering a crop here.

The Poor Yield of Rice.

The yield OF the crop of rice which
is 0 being harvested is extremely
disappointing to the farmer, and il
quite a surprise to those who thought
they knew something of the appear
ance OF a rice crop. Rice that was
apparently good, and was estimated
tn yield Is to 20 sacks to the acre,
are giving 10 and 70, and in some
places less than that. The yield gen
orally is small, and We hardly think
that this years crop in this parish
will be much more than half that III
last year. In other sections Of tho
rice belt the same result is reported
which means III entirely short crop,
and in view of this fact, it might be
well for our rice planters to hold On
to their rice and not rush it to The
market. Under present conditions
the rice ought TO commend q better
price than present quotations, and if
held, will surely have a tendency to
higher the price. Henry Belut rep
resenting a Lake Charles mill was
here this week, and bought several
car loads. Ali our rice should be sold
right here, and the planters should
make an effort to interest the buyers
to come here and bid for their crop
instead OF shipping to u market where
it gets entirely out OF their control
and they stand at the mercy Of brok-
ers and classers who make several
grades and qualities of the same rice.
