For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh Of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-

mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves Of the stomach, thus caus-

the juices Of natural digestion. This Is

Best's Plans for the Bridge-Esti-
mated Cost. $500 900.

Bridge Commissioner Best said yesterday that
II the Board of Estimate would give him the
money he would have the temporary improve
ments to the Brooklyn Bridge terminal COM
pleted In time for next summers Coney Island
traffic
NO detailed statement of the proposed improve
ments has been made. hut the Boar1 Of EST
mate has approved the general sch eme of the
| Bridge Department. AMI last Friday defnite'y
refused to entertain the Poulsen plan.
There are now three platforms in the chief
house of the Manhattan terminal Two are
| loading platforms. while one is used exclusively
| for discharging passengers The island plat
form, nearest Park Row, Is twenty feet wide.
1t is proposed TO extend the headhOuse over
Park Row and into City Hall Park The
island platform will be extended to a length
OF three hundred and forty feet In addition.
| there are to be two side platforms one on each
side of the extended headhouse, and the same
length as the present island platform when
attended. BY this arrangement room will be
found to berth a six-car elevated train. with
platform on either side of it, Passengers viii
erter from each side of the car.
The two island platforms further within he
headhouse eastward are to be heightened The
space thus obtained viii! doubls the present
loading and discharging facilities.
The bridge that now spans Park Row will
De taken down. In its place will be an orna-
mental structure, with larger platform capacity
and many stairways. The plans show a connec-
ton between the structure and the subway
by steps, which will not touch the street. The
removal of the present stairways IS 20 leave
room for the widening of Park Row az the
| bridge entrance by cutting away twenty feet
of the sidewalk
Under the existing conditions sixty ive-car
trains are handled every hour Under the pro-
jected conditions. Commissioner Best says, sixty
slx-car trains will cross the bridge hour.
This will increase the hourly capacity of the
| bridge by sixty cars. The department hopes
under the new order of things that all trains
may cross the bridge without change.
The cost of the proposed Improvement is es-
tmated at 100000 The terminal will be only
temporary.

pany. and compelling him to allow the production
there OF The Mayor of the Bowery. The reasons
stated by Mr.. Rosenquests lawyers for his client s
cancellation of McAvoy's engagement were o'cAeu
by pictures displayed in court
These pictures showed McAvoy In a remarkable

me present Duke of Northumberland is like his
laIher' banker, being the chief partner in the
wen known banking house of Drummond, and is
enormously rich. The amount of the ducal fortune
may DC estimated from the fact that the late Duke
spent the sum OF 100000 in building for his laborers
cottages. TO each of which half acre Of land
attached He spent nearly as much for the
struetlon and restoration OF churches and still
larger sums than either Of these in the construc-
uon OF roads, bridges and drainage works.
Inc Duke has two famous country seats. Sion
House, and Alnwick Castle. the latter being the
more important of the two and is situated in
northumberland. 1t is a noble and majestic pile
one of the finest existing specimens of the Old
border castles of the middle ages, and the only
historic building in Great Britain excepting Wind

the ordinary experts of the italian school of old
masters. In fact Alnwick Castle is a perfect mine
OF art treasures from artistic. historical and
archaeological point of view, the family having been
in undsturbed possession of this princey home
for eight centuries
The Duke is extremely religious and is one of
the pillars of the denomination known as the
Irvingites, and at his table at every meal a chair
is left vacant for the coming of the Lord" the
empty chair exercising a rather depressing effect
upon those who are not accustomed to this strange
idea.
The Duke is married TO sister of the Duke OF
Argyll and has a number of children, one of his
sons, Lord Percy, being at the present moment In
this country. His eldest son. Lord Percy. is
very clever young fellow, who is Under Secretary
OF State for Foreign Affairs and has achieved
distinction a geographical explorer as an
observant traveller. all round athlete and as

CONFERENCE ON RAILROAD RATES.

The report was discredited IN the best Informed
Wall Street quarters yesterday that general con-
ferenoe OF prominent railroad presidents would be
hold probably in New-Y York soon after the first Of
the wear for discussion of methods for regulating
railroad rates According to this report the call
for the conference would probably be issued by
Presidents Cassatt. of the Pennsylvania; Fish. OF
the Illinois Central: MeIlen. of the New Haven
ord Riplev of the Atchison. II added that the
movement had the support of J. Pierpont Morgan,
E. H. Hartman and George ]. Gould.
The Presidents recommendations on the subject
OF railway rates have naturally been the subject
of various informal conferences among railway
executives since the transmission of the annual
Message 20 Congress. and further conferences Of
the same sort will probably take place. But it Is
understood that so wide divergence of opinion
ists among the prominent railroad presidents of
the country regarding the Presidents recommended
tions as to make II exceedingly improbable that a
general conference will be called.
