SILK PEOPLE MEET.
Association Holds Thirtieth Ami
versarY Banquet.

New York, Feb. 12.-Members of the
Silk Association of America held their
thirtieth anniversary banquet last even
ing at Delmonicos- About three hun
bred were present. President Catholina
Lambert presided and among the guests
We're his eXcellency, x Takahira, envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipoten-
tiary from Japan; his excellency, J. b.
ter pleniootentiary from Switzerland
and John w. Griggs. ex-attorney gen.
eraL
The speakers and their toasts were:
Our Country" the Rev. S. Parks
Cadman; Japan and American Com
merce, as Illustrated by the Silk Trade"
Kogoro Takahira; why Prosperity
Prospers," Charles Heber Clark; The
Principles Underlying American Indus
tries" John w. Griggs; THE Lessons
of Experience William Sherer, man
ager of the clearing house association:
Fraternization in Commercial Affairs"
d. Leroy Dresser of the Merchants as
Sociation.
President Lambert said in his address
of welcome:
THE future looks prosperous if we
work in a conservative manner. Manu-
facturers have been careful the last
year not to OVerStOck the market and
to sell the production at ruinOuS prices.
The general prosperity of the country is
such that all our ladies are now in silk
attire from underwear to outerWear. 1t
IS subject of congra tulation that many
OF our members residing IN paterson
have escaped from the ravages of a
fearful confia grafton"
KOgOro Takahira, Japanese minister
in responding to the toastS assigned
him, said in part:
Commerce never played more i'm
portant part in the affairs of nations
than it does today. Many people decry
what they choose to term the CONNER
cial spirit of our times but I think a
careful study of history will show that
the present is very much like the past
in that respect Not men but methods,
have changed. Steam and electricity has
brought the nations of the earth so close
together that the question of what they
can most profitably buy from and sell
to each other has been brought into
greater prominence than ever before.
Intelligent men realize that no people
can attain full stature of national devel-
opment unless material prosperity is as
sured. In Japan we feel the force of
this truth. Taking into account the diff
ficulties we lave had to encounter. L
think we may without vain glory be
proud of the measure of success we
have attained. Our foreign commerce
in particular has grown from petty be-
ginnings to quite important proportions
The growth of the silk trade however,
has been more notable than any of the
other branches.
Japan and the United States are not
trade rivals. They have nothing to gain
by erecting barriers against each other
and the conditions as they now exist
inevitably tend to promote the greatest
mutual benefit

COFFEE EYES.
1t Attacks Many Persons There.

To illustrate how coffee can affect the
eyes the words of a lady in Woodland,
Ia, are quoted.
Il was brought up to believe that tea
was injurious but was allowed to drink
coffee from childhood. Ever since 1 can
remember I have been subject to severe
attacks of headache, otherwise my
health was pretty good until a short
time ago my eyes became affected; they
ached and panied me continually and
were often badly infiamed 1 also had
queer. dizzy feelings in my head almost
continually.
One time we were obliged to do with
out milk or cream for a few weeks and
not relishing my coffee clear 1 left off
its use. In short time / was surprised
to find my eyes greatly improved, and
/ felt better in every way, still 1 did not
Inistrust the coffee, and began its use
as soon as we got cream again. Within
a few days my eyes were worse than
ever. Then 1 resolved to quit coffee
absolutely and take up Postum. This
/ did and my eyes quickly recovered
My experience shows that while coffee
caused / eadache and eye trouble Pos

bad effects whatever and is greatly

GROWING SERIOUS.
Suits Against the Yukon & White
Pass Railway.

Victoria, B. c., Feb. 12.-When it was
first announced that Messrs. Higgins
and Elliott, barristers of this city, had
entered an action against the White
Pass & Yukon railway for damages, and
the return of freight and passenger
rates paid by their clients, as the tariff
of the company had not been approved
by the Dominion government, as re-
quired by the railway act, and further
because the tariffs were unjust and ex-
tortional, some looked upon the action
as a bluff. Now that Mr.. Justice Mar
tin of the supreme court has decided
that the plaintiffs have a right of ac-
ton against the company under the rail-
way act, the feeling is gaining ground
that the suits are very serious and
should they be decided against the COM
pany there is no telling where the mat
ter will end.
Already three writs have been issued
on behalf of the Upper Yukon CONSOLE
dated company, Joseph Clearihue and
]. st. Clair Beckett & Co. The latter
writ was issued yesterday, and in. it
the claim is over $4,000, making the
amount so far sued for $500, 900. Other
writs are to be issued, one for 100000
by the Victoria Yukon Trading and
Transportation company The aggre-
gate claims in the writs to be taken out
in Victoria will total three quarters of
a million dollars. 1t is expected that
the cases will cone to trial at the
aSSizeS to be held during March.

ty committees name the delegates to the
state convention, thereby obViating the
necessity of holding county conventions
for that purpose. The Anderson county
committee met yesterday for that pur-
pose, and although it is claimed that the
committee is favorable to Bowersock,
he secured a bare majarity of the dele
cation, four out of seven, and one of the
four is doubtful and may go with the
opposition.
In Wyandotte county petition is in
circulation asking for a convention for
the election of congressional delega ties
in order to allow Nat Barnes to name the
delegation in his own interest. The Sec
ond district may develop a very consid-
cradle contest before the convention
meets at Fort Scott on March IL.

The onion is undoubtedly a wholesome
article of food. in fact has many medicinal
qualities of value, but it would be difficult
to : find more fndigestible article than
fried onions, and to many people they are
, simply poison, but the onion does mot
stand alone in this respect. Any article of
fod that is not thoroughly digested be-
comes a source of disease and discomfort
whether it be fried onions beef steak.
The reason why any wholesome food is
not promptly digeSted is because the stom-
ach lacks some important element of di-
gestion, some stomachs lack peptone. 9TH
erS lack hydrochloric acid
The one thing necessary to do in any
case of poor digestion issto supply those
elements of digestion which the stomach
and safely as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
DIR. Richardson in writing a thesis on
treatment of dyspepsia and indigestion,
closes his remarks by saying. for those
sour. watery risings or for hatulent dys-
pepsia shown by gas on stomach causing
heart trouble and difficult breathing as
well for all other forms of stomach
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal 1 advise them because
they contain no harmful drugs, but are
composed of valuable digestives, which act
knew a case of indigestion or even chronic
dyspepsia which Stuarts Tablets would
not reach"
Cheap cathartic medicines claiming to
cure dyspepsia and indigestion can have
no effect whatever in actively digesting
the food. and to call any eathartic medi-
cine cure for indigestion is a misnomer.
Every druggist in the United States and
Canada sells Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
and they are not only the safest and most
successful, but the most scientific of any
treatment for indigestion and stomach
troubles.

Seven years ago the State of Illinois granted

the Physicians Institute TO furnish to the sick
such help as would make them well and strong.
Ever since its establishment this Institute has
endeavored in every possible way to carry oct
the original purposes OF its establishment under
the benehcient laws Of the State.
Three years ago, the Physicians Institute,
realizing the value of electricity in the treatment
OF certain phases OF disease. created under the
Superintendence of its staff of specialists an

HE STRUCK MRS. NATION.
New York Policeman Has Since
Dropped Dead.

Mrs. Carrie Nation has received let
ter from Manager Tilyon of Steeple
Chase park of Brooklyn, informing her
of the sudden death of a policeman who
helped to arrest her there and who
struck her as she was being placed in
the patrol wagon to be taken to the sta
ton.
When Mrs. Nation was arrested she
refused to ride to the station in the pa
troll wagon. The policeman who made
the arrest objected to allowing her to
walk and a parley ensued which result
ed in the policeman striking Mrs. Ma
ton on the back of the head with his
fist, brutally forcing her to be seated
in the wagon.
Never mind, God will punish you for
that" said Mrs. Nation to the police
man.
And his unexpected death IS regarded
by Mrs. Nation as a Just retribution to
him for his mistreatment of her.
