FUNERAL OF MRS. R0LTZ.
An Aged Baltimore Lady Who Once De-
Tended Flag With Hot Water.

The funeral of Mrs Sarah \. Holtz, who
died last Sunday at the advanced age of
eighty three years. will take place today
from the residence Of her son-in-law, Dr..
A. T. johnson, at o'clock.
Mrs Holtz was a woman who attained
almost national fame from the patriotic
zeal she exhibited forty years ago in Bal
timore. She comes from a fighting stock.
and the heroic manner in which she de
Tended a banner. made by her for a conf
pany OF Baltimore firemcn during the
turbulent days early in the civil war
rivals the well-known story of Barbara
Fritchie.
The city authorities sympathized strong
ly with the cause of those south of the
Potomac. and. during the first days of the
war, were in practical command OF the
Maryland city. Notwithstanding this fact
Mrs. Holtz proudly displayed her silken
banner from aagpole on the roof of her
house.
\ demand was sent to her from the city
authorities to remove the flag, and re-
marking that perhaps it Yas in danger
she removed it from the dagpolc.
Instead of secreting the, flag. however.
Mrs. Holtz proudly displayed it from her
second-story window, where the long
streamer nearly brushed the heads of peo-
pie passing in the street below.
A body of armed men were sent to see
that the Objectionable piece of bunting
was removed, but Mrs. Holtz caused a
large kettle of water o'be heated and with
the boiling fluid easily pat to rout her
prosecutors.

James Jefries, the present champion heavy
weight OF the world, and his gallant opponent.
Tom sharkSy, in the greatest pugilistic encoun-
ter that has taken place. both pursued
much the same OF training. and the nrst
and most important part of this training to
get the stomach in condition. and 10 keep the
digestion absolutely perfect. that every muscle
and nerve would he at its highest capabilities.
Thies was not done by secret patent medi-
cine but both OF these great pugilists used a
druggists under name OF Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets and composed OF the digestive fernentS which
every stomach requires for healthy digestion.
Champion Jefries says: .'Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets prevent acidity. strengthen the stomach
and insure perfect digestion. They keep man
in fine physical condition.. Signed. James J.
Jeffries, champion of the world
The gallant fighter. >harkev- says: stuart :
Dyspepsia Tablets remove all discomfort after
eating They rest the stomach and restore it to
a helthful condition. / heartily recommend
them Signed, Thos. J. Sharkey.
The advantage OF the daily use OF Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets IS that they keep people well
and ward of sickness and are equally valuable
TO we'll persons to the dyspepties. Another
advantage is that these tablets contain no ca.
thartics or poisons of any character. but simply
digestive ferments which are found in every
healthy stomach. and when digestion Is imper
feet it i because the stomach lacks -aIne of
these elements and Stusrt's Dyspepsia Tablets
supply it.
They are no cheap oathartic but a perfectly
safe and efficient digestive, and the demand for
them Is greater than the sale of all other
called dyspepsia combined. No remedy
could possibly reach such place in public os-
TEEN except 5 a result of positive merit.
Full sized packages sold by alt druggists
at 80 cents. and the best habit you can possibly

liven the occasion with their oratory
There were present yesterday DR.. Har-
ban, DR.. Sharp. DIR. Young. DIR. Curtis. Mr.
Breen, and others, all enthusiastic mem
bers Of the association. Major Sylvester,
chairman OF the executive committee, pre-
sided. He briefly outlined the scheme for
the oyster roast. as already proposed by

ATLANTA TRACK KILLED.
Proposition Practically Overruled by the
City Council.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 1S.-After long
debate, engaged in exclusively by visitors
to the council chamber, the ordinance
which provided for withdrawal by the
city of its police protection over Exposi-
tion Park during the three months that
racing was TO have been conducted there
was defeated. This means death to the
proposed mile race track for Atlanta, with
three months OF events next winter.
DR.. John E. White, pastor of the Sec
ond Baptist Church, spoke first He rep
resented the Atlanta Evangelical Minis
ters' Association. He said, among other
things. that Atlanta had not now enough
money properly to protect the city with
police. The race track he said. would
mean the coming of three thousand law
less persons TO Atlanta. who would make
1t necessary to increase taxes to pay more
policemen. He has been the bitterest op-
ponent OF the rack track movement.
The Rev. Sam Small spoke against the
ordinance. He argued against pool SELL
ing. and declared that those who proposed
establishing track are not the racing
men OF the country, but men who operate
the outlaw tracks and are coming to At
lanta because they can get foothold no
where else.
With two council members absent the
final vote was: Ayes, s; nays, l..

"FREEDMAN FOUR" CONFER.
Plans Prepared in Anticipation of Com
ing Meeting.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-As further evil
dence that the National League men are
going TO meet within the next week. it was
stated today that the Freedman faction.
consisting of Freedman, Brush, Robson
and Soden, will hold a private conference
here in day or two. to decide what policy
to pursue and upon what terms to accept
the expected surrender of the Spalding
four.
But the FFeedmanites may be doomed
to disappointment after all. and there may
be a smash-up that Will bring about re-
suits entirely in line with the plans of
| Spalding. Those who say they enjoy the
confidence of Freedman and his friends
declared today that the New York Club
would dictate terms upon which the
league could get together and that if the
terms were not received with favor, all
sorts of things would befall the Spalding
adherents
According to one OF the Spalding follow
ers, the Brooklyn. Pittsburg. Chicago and
Philadelphia clubs have solemnly agreed
to vote down every proposition that comes
from the Freedman Brush clique except
a playing schedule. In other words, they
have bound themselves together for self
protection. and say that they mean busi-
ness.

WOULD TAKE INITIATIVE.
President Soden Willing 70 Take Role
Of Peacemaket

BOSTON. March 1s.-President Soden,
of the Bcston Nationals osays he is will
ing to take the initiative to bring about
a truce in the baseball war in order that
a schedule may be arranged for the sea-
son now at hand.
Having waited so long in tranquility he
is prepared to remain inactive for still
another week, and there is opportunity
i'll seven days for any other magnate to
earn the peacemaker's blessing, but in
case such a one is not found he will sug-
gest to Nick Young the propriety of in
yiting the eight National League clubs to
come together and consider plans for a
truce.
President Soden takes occasion to state
that the so-called trust scheme is dead
and buried.
mo attempt will be made to revive the
plan proposed of pooling the receipts,
which was the trust feature of the plan"
said he. and added, as he had added be-
fore. that the Boston club was against
the plan from the first and would be
again.

scum From All Over the Country.
Cycle circles in this city have been sci
agog over the unexpected arfi. al in this
city Monday night of several of the big
| gest motor cycle riders in the country
Their arrival was entirely unannounced
and is said to be but the advance guard
of the lot that has selected the Coliseum
track at the corner of Fourteenth anG
East Capitol Streets as its training quar-
ters.
This is generally looked upon as most
flattering compliment to the local track.
as after riding on all of the tracks of this
country the riders have selected this one
as the best, entirely without solicitation.
AL Champion. the great French rider. and
Hall. the successor to Jimmie Michael.
the little Welsh wonder, reached the city
last night. They brought with them two
new motor vehicles, which are said to be
the best that have ever been constructed.
1t will probably be several days before
the machines are keyed up. but the men
will soon start daily training on the
track
Floyd A. Mcfarland. the American, who
is said to be the most versatile rider on
the track. arrived yesterday morning and
will join the other riders at the track.
Eddie Bald. who has been training al Hot
Springs for some time past, is expected
to arrive mere in few days for the same
purpose. He is rapidly rounding into
shape and great hopes are entertained by
his friends that he may be able to carry
off the championship this year.
Mr.. Whitman Osgood, the new director
of the Coliseum, was unaware of the pur-
pose of these wheelmen TO come here un-
til their arrival was announced. He was
Informed by Mr.. Eckhart the manager.
that many of the other fast riders will be
here within a few days.

HODCARRlERS STAND FIRM.
VIII Not Work for Less Than Twenty
five Cents an Hour.

Members OF the local hodcarriers
union assert that at no time has a prop
osition to work at rate lower than
25 cents an hour been even considered
by them. The union, it is stated, stands
firm in the determination to uphold the
scale.
The. Hodcarriers, Brick and Mortar
Wheeiers, closely associated with the
hodcarriers union, also demand the reg
ular established rate per hour, and there
is 10 prospect that any other proposition
from boss workers will prevail. Some
time age. it is stated, there was an eyi-
dent disposition on the part OF certain
boss workers to reduce the scale TO %
cents an hour.
This attempt to cut down wages met
with vigorous opposition from the hod-
carriers union and all allied organiza-
tions. The matter now has seemingly ad-
justed itself and the regular standard
scale OF 25 cents an hour is being paid.
This rate is for an eight hour day.
