Views on Ambition and
 Dyspepsia.

Dyspepsia, wrote Eugene Field, Soften incapacitates man for endea- vor and sometimes it eXtinguishes the fire of ambitiOn.o Field was dyspep- tic himself. Though a great man despite this handicap he felt the blighting effects of the disease all his life. Thousands suffer similarly.
 A weak, tired or diseased stomach can't perform the process of digestion. It needs rest. If forced to work it will grow constantly weaker. If it gets rest it will soon grow strong again. Such a preparation as .Kodol Dyspep- sia Cure will give it just such a rest. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure does the stom- ach's work. It digests what you eat. Don't diet. Dieting is neither more nor less than partial starvation. Star vation never benefited anyone. If you take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure you need suffer the bangs neither of indi- gestion nor of starvation. Equally good for children.
 "I consider Kodol Dyspepsia Cure the su- perior of any preparation for the prevention Ogburn, Ante, Brunswick Co.,, Va. About three years ago I suffered spells of the most excrutiating misery. tried many remedies but gained only temporary relief until used tack since and whenever I feel symptoms of spell, a bottle of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure sets me right"

Letter From Prince Henry.

Princinal Booker T. WASHINGTON has
received an autograph letter from Prince
Henry. of Prussia, thanking him for the
book up From Slavery" and jubilee
music. which Mr. Washington, during
that famous Waldorf-Astoria recentiOn,
promised to send the Prince. The letter
was couched in the most cordial Ian
guage and breathed sincere admiration
for Mr.. Washington in every line, and
evinced the deepest interest in his work
for the uplifting of humanity. The
Prince said he had read the book care
fully, and was struck with the wonderful
story it unfolded of heroism under diff
culties. He hoped that Mr.. Washington
would some day visit the German En-
peror and indicated that a revival OF his
acquaintance would be a positive pleas
ure. The letter was written on board
the Princes yacht. Kaiser Wilhelm, and
bore the crests of his royal station. The
mental breadth and Christian conduct OF
such men as Prince Henry inspire our
race with a refreshing belief in bright
er future and breeds within us a species
of pity for the poor whites who are too
mean to recognize merit because 1t
happens to be clothed in a dark skin.

$4,000. 900 Profits.

New York, October 15.-According
to rough calculations recently made
by Charles G. Gates and his
partners in the firm of Harris. Gates
d Co. the friends and customers of that
firm who took part in the Louisville and
Nashville coup have cleaned up approx
mately S1s!OO,OO0 in profits. The truth of
this story was vouched for by young MI
Gates himself, when his attention was
called to the report.
1T is quite true" he said tonight Il
figured out some time ago that our
friends and other customers who Joined
in the Louisville deal have accumulated
profits of about $4,000, 900. OF course all
of this was not made in the sale OF the
original stock to the Atlantic Coast syn
dictate At one time we had as much IS
10000 shares of Louisville-minority
shares one might call them-which We're
held haddition to the 100000 shares which
were turned over to J. Pierpont Morgan
& Co.
These 100000 shares were bought inn
mediately after we discovered that our
syndicate and Mr.. Hawley's were in COZ
troll of the Louisville and Nashville sys-
tenn. Practically every share of it was
sold out at prices ranging from $50 to 159.
1 know that some stocks were sold as
high as 1859. l cannot discuss the prices
at which the stock was accumulated.
nor can tell you who made the biggest
gains
The last payment of the Atlantic Coast
Line syndicate to the firm of Harris,
Gates & Co. was made today in a big
check. The mon ~ was promptly depos-
tied at the banks Of the firm.
In the early estimates made 1t was be-
litved that the Gates synd cato stock was
acquired at prices which would average
I1S a share. II this basis is correct The
syndicate would have accumulated a
profit OF % points on over 100000 shares.
The Hawlay syndicate, which joined
hands with the Gates party, 1t is be-
lieved possessed about 10000 shares of
Louisville stock. OF the 306,000 shares
100 900 shares of stock were turned over at
100 a share. In the trading in and out of
the Gates syndicate, which resulted in
new profits. it is said that fully $4,000
was made,
