PRINCESS LOUISE'S POPULARITY
Daily Attested to by the Citizens Of
Saxony.

Dresden, SaXony, March S.-Little
Prince George, eldest son of Crown
Prince Frederick, was missing from the
palace, Friday, and for several hours
the household was in conservation.
The favorite rumor was that the
prince had been abducted by agents of
his mother, the former Crown Princess
Louise, but the boy was found praying
in the cathedral that his mother might
return. He was in an agony of tears
and supplications.
The Socialists are using the crown
princess episode for political agitation
and the unpopularity of the Saxon
monarchy appears to have been con-
siderably heightened.
The carriage of Princess Mathilde
sister of the crown prince, was sur
rounded by crowd in Wilsrumer
Strasse, and cries of -"Give us our
Louise!" were raised.
Princess Mathilde was so frightened
that when the police reached the scene
she was escorted into shop and went
out by the rear door. Several similar
incidents, showing the unpopularity OF
the royal house. have occurred since the
agitation caused by the elopement oil
the Princess Louise.

SHE WAS MURDERED,
Doctors So State of Miss Helen
Fletcher, Dead at New York.

New York, March S.-After an au-
| topsy on Helen Fletcher, the young wo-
man who mysteriOusly died at Mrs.
Maria Farrelrs, 262 West 37th street,
Coroner's Physician Otto e. Schultze
ANNOUNCED Saturday, the young woman
must have died of poison. He recon-
mended that a chemical analysis be
made of the contents of the stomach.
The circumstances of Miss Fletcher's
death appear to bear out DIR. Schultze's
theory that she died from poison. She
was found moaning on her bed. She
arrived at Mrs. Farrell's house, SUNDAY
night, with a man, and before he lett
he was heard to tell her to take some
thing he had left for her, adding, You
know that l am a physician and that
it is all right The police of the West
37th station are looking for that man.
They are extremely reticent about their
Investigation.
The mystery surrounding the girls
identity has been partially cleared. Her
home was in New Haven. She came to
this city from Chicago, week ago Sat
furday, after an interview, which is said
to have been a heated one, with the
parents of Alfred Manniere, the young
1dle graduate, WHO LOOK HeT lTOIn New
Haven to Chicago.
Manniere is only "a, and was grad
uated from Yale, last June. While in
New Haven he met Miss Fletcher. who
was living with her mother. Manniere
after he was graduated, took the girl
with him to Chicago.
Manneres father is a wealthy real
estate man of Chicago. Miss Fletcher
called at the Manniere home a week
ago last Friday, and an understanding
was reached that she should at once
leave for New York.
Young Manniere escorted her to the
station and bought her the ticket to
this city. There were a number of con-
ferences between the Mannieres and the
woman before she left Chicago. In
Chicago young Manniere said Satur-
day. he frequently gave the woman
money, and that she worked when she
was well enough.
The police, in looking for the man
who went with her to the Farrell house,
have only as a clew the description
given by the persons living there. Miss
Fletcher could have been in the city
only a few hours at most when she
went to the Farrell house.

you CAN INTEREST HIM.
Any Man Over Fifty.

You can interest any man OYER fifty
years of age in anything that will make
aim feel better, because while he may
not as yet have any positive organic
disease he no longer feels the buoyancy
md vigor of twenty-five nor the free
ION from aches and pains he enjoyed
n earlier years, and he very naturally
Examines with interest any proposition
ooking to the improvement and preser-
vation of his health.
He will notice among other things
hat the stomach of fifty is a very diff

sessed at twenty-five. That greatest
are must be exercised as to what is
aten and how much of it, and even
with the best of care, there will be in
reasing digestive weakness with adj
Iancing years.
A proposition to perfect or improve
he digestion and assimilation of food
one which interests not only every
nan of fifty but every man, woman and
hid of any age, because the whole Sc

ierVcS, is to have Il stomach which Will
promptly and thoroughly digest whole
some food because blood, nerves, brain

God can possibly create pure blood or

stomach is replenishing the daily wear

ermenting half-digested food.
No, the stomach itself wants help and
n no round about way either; 1t wants
lirect, unmistakable assistance, such as
s given by one or two Stuarts Dyspep-
;ia Tablets after each meal
These tablets cure stomach trouble
because their use give the stomach a
nance to rest and recuperate; one of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contains
digestive elements sufficient to digest
1000 grains of ordinary food such as
)read, meat, eggs, etc.
The plan of dieting is simply another
lame for starvation, ana the use OF

As DR.. Bennett says, the only reason
can immapine why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are not universally useu py
everybody who is troubled in any way
with poor digestion is because many
