To Crowded Houses Here-Praisss
Star Course.

Byron W. King, Of Pittsburg, the
eminent reader and lecturer, who was
brought here unccr the auspices Of
the Y. NJ &. A., filled the opera house
Sunday night TO OVERLOOKING. Inthe
afternoon at O'Clock, Mr.. King spoke
to an audience Of men that well filled
the house. He made the large audi.
ence laugh and cry, carrying them In
quick succession from the heights Of
pathos to the depths of humor. He
touches human hearts as few men
can. There were in his lecture FIVE
passages of oratory, but the spirit Of
true religion was yisable throughout.
Mr.. King is man who believes that
a smile is worth more than a froWn,
that good wish far outwelghs a
curse, that sympathy is worth more
than gold, and kind words are better
commerce than silver, that truth is
the sunshine OF the soul, and happi-
ness the blossom and flower thereof.
Mr. E A. Yost presided over the
meeting and took occasion to announce
the course of lectures and entertain
ments which the Association is to con-
duct, beginning with the Edwin R.
Weeks Company, Nov. % Mr.. King
in commenting upon the course, as
announced last night said "You

burg people will be immensely pleased.

STRANGER THAN FICTION

test). golden seal and diastase. The
tablets are sold by druggists under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's. Many interesting experiments
to test the digestive power of Stu
arts tablets show that one grain of
the active principle contained in them
is sufficient to thoroughly digest 5000
grains of raw meat, eggs and other
wholesome food.
Stuart's tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and
cheap cathartics, which simply irri-
tate and infiame the intestines with
out having any effect whatever in di-
costing food or curing Indigestion.
If the stomach can be rested and
assisted in the work of digestion il
will very soon recover its normal Wig
or, as no organ is so much abused and
overworked as the stomach.
This is the secret, if there is any
secret, of the remarkable success of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a remedy
practically unknown a few years ago
and now the most widely known of
any treatment for stomach weakness.
This success has been secured en-
tirely upon its merits as a digestive

no stomach trouble if the food is
promptly digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act en-
tirely on the food eaten, digesting it

They cure dyspepsia. water brash,

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found at all drug stores, and the reg
ular use of one or two of them after
meals will demonstrate their merit
better than any other argument.
