Gains murder made him an outcast.
Henceforth he was an object to be
Stunned. His crime had set him apart
from society. This was his inevitable
punishment. But he was not to be
murdered because he was a murderer.
He was to be protected against the
violence of the mob. He was per-
mitted to depart into the wilderness.
There he founded a city which he
called after the name of one of his
sons. Vengeance was not visited upon
him. He was banished beyond the
pale OF society which he had offended.
But he was not denied the right to

MARKET REPORTS.
! NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
tho Leading Stocks.

New York, Jan. a9.-The tone of today $
stock market was almost altogether pro-
fessional. Trading was somewhat in eA-
cess of the previous day but was limited
for the most Part to the leading issues. A
number OF favorable features, such as the
increased ease of sterling exchange and
promise of an amicable solution of the
Venezuelan situation, We're ignored, as
were also number of excellent railroad
returns. st. Paul preferred was not in
cltided in this latter class, that road
showing a decrease of over $i3,O in net
for December. st. Paul opened moderate
~ strong in anticipation of favorable ;ic-
ton by the directors respecting the pro-
posed increase of stock. Following an adj
vance of over point. brokers represent
ing important interests sold freely and
the stock closed with fractional loss.
Other early features of interest were
Pennsylvania, in which there was extern
sive trading, st. Louis and San Francisco
issues. Delaware IL Hudson and Amalga-
mated Copper Later Missouri Pacific.
Fries and some other leading railway
shares developed increased trmness The
movement in the Erie issues in the after
noon attracted considerable attention and
appeared to be based on a revival OF
combination reports which Were current
a fortnight ago. The railroad bond mar
ket was moderately active and showed a
good distribution of dealings. though the
movement was uncertain. Total sales,
par value, 2,J15, 600 United States bonds
were all unchanged on the last call.

TOOK A STRAW VOTE.
Interesting Experiment In Restau-
rant.

An advertising agent representing Il
prominent New York magazine, while
on u recent western trip, was dining
one evening in Pittsburg restaurant.
While waiting for his order he
glanced over his newspaper and no
iiced the advertisement of well
known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets; as he himself was
a regular user of the tablets he began
Specializing as to how many of the 9TH
er travelling men in the dining room
were also friends of the popular rem
edy for indigestion.
He says: Il counted twenty three
men at the tables and in the hotel Of
flee l took the trouble to interview
them and was surprised to learn that
nine of the twenty-three made q prac-
tiSe of taking one or two of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal
'One of them told me he had suffered
so much from stomach trouble that at
one time he had been obliged to Quit
the road. but since using Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets had been entirely free
from Indigestion, but he continued
their use. especially while travelling, on
account of irregularity in meals and
because like all travelling men he was
often obliged to eat what he could get
and not always what he wanted
Another, who looked the picture of
health, said he never ate meal with
out taking a Stuart Tablet afterward
because he could eat what he pleased
and when he please, without fear of
sleepless night or any other trouble.
Still another used them because he
WAS subject to gas on the stomach,
causing pressure on heart and lungs,
shortness of breath and distress in
chest, which he no longer experienced
since using the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets was the only safe rem
edy he had ever found for sour stom-
ach and acidity, he had formerly used
common soda to relieve the trouble,
but the tablets were much better and
safer to use
After smoking. drinking or other ex-
cesses which weaken the digestive or
gans, nothing restores the stomach to
a healthy, wholesome condition so eff
! feetuaIly as Stuart's Tablets.

the natural digestiyes. pepsin. diastase

STILL IN DOUBT.
The Allies in No Hurry to
Deal With Venezuela.
No Answer to Latest Proposition and
Washington Is Anxious.
Complications May Arise Which MAY
Prove Embarrassing.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The Nene-
zueian situation. tonight. is still very
uncertain and officials are awaiting
with come concern the developments of
the next As hours. No final answer has
come to Minister Bowen's proposition.
Offering a guaranty. as demanded by
the allies. as preliminary to the
raising of the blockade The conten-
tion of the three allies that they shan
be given preferential treatment in SET
Element and payment of their claims as
against the other seven creditors ma
tons is the point on which the nego-
tiations now hang fire.
Minister Bowen is insistent that the
allies shall not have preferential treat
ment and in all his conferences with
the representatives of the European
government he has made his position
very clear. 1t is known that he has de-
clined to modify his demands in this
respect. Pressure along certain IN
fluential lines has been brought to
bear on the allies to show the justice
of Mr.. Bowen's contention.
The rejection of his proposition for
tbs: treatment Of all the creditors alike,
it is believed here, would result IL
throwing the case to The Hague tri
bunal. before which body all nations
having claims against Venezuela would
be placed on an equal footing. 1t IS
known that the allies would prefer that
this should not be done, as conside.a
ton of TIE claims by that body would
entail much delay in their settlement,
and there are other features which
make it desirable to the allies that the
claims be settled outside of that body.
One of them is that il they came be
fore The Hague, Venezuela would have
the right to set up counter claims as All
offset to those presented by the allies.
These. it is said, might reduce con-
siderably the amount of money to be
paid by Venezuela.
Up to q late hour, tonight. the al
lies representatives have received no
answers from their governments. 1t
is learned that On the second day after
his arrival here Minister Bowen in
formed the French diplomatic repre-
sentative in Washington that the
French claims would be treated on the
game basis as claims of the allies and
would be taken up after the blockade
was raised.
Relying on this assurance the French
government has remained inactive, but
ii is stated that should the allied
lowers be granted preferential treat
ment. France would take steps at
once to protect her Venezuelan in
tarests and would make representations
on the subject to the foreign offices
at London, Berlin and Rome.
