EDUCATION IN TEE SOUTH.
Dicussed at Banquet at the Waldorf
 Astoria.


 New YeFk. Jan. A1--The work of the Sothern Education Board in co-operation with the General Education Board was discussed tonight at banquet at the Waldorf Astoria. All the prominent edu- eationai institutions Of the Southern States were represented. Robert c, Og- den of the southern Elimination Board presided. At the presidents table were Commissioner of Education William T. Harris, Chancellor Walter B. Hm of tho University of Georgia; President David r. Houston Of the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College; Professor O. c. Mitchell of Richmond College and others. Commissioner Harris said in 1880 there were only thirty high schools in the Southern slave States and iS90 the num- Der had increased to SE3 and had 240O0 pupils and In 1892 to 1.3OS with 5000 pupils. Professor P. P. Claxton of the Univer- sfty of Tennessee pictured the conditions in the State of Tennessee, saying that the average school term is less than three months and that 1t costs more to maintain prisoner in jan than is expended in the education of child. He urged that as the people have not the money, because of the smaliness of taxable property in that State, they are deserving of aid from all sections of the country.

RUSSIAN REFUGEE
TELLS OF COMMANDMENT
Says Jap Fire overreached and De-
struction Was Small.

THEN TSIN, March ia Russian
refugee who arrived here today throws
valuable additional light on the bonn
bardment of Port Arthur last Thurs
day. He says that the attack was in
tended for the forts, but the Japanese
fire overreached. There was small de-
struction, and the casualties were not
numerous. Twenty soldiers and two
civilians were killed and three civilians
injured Col Vershinin, governor of
Port Arthur, was slightly wounded.
The Japanese used three or four humid
dred Russian shells which they found
on the captured transport Manchuria.
The refugee mentioned above says
only four Japanese cruisers We're act
lively engaged. The forts replied with
several shots whenever the Japanese
left the cover of Lao THE Shan prom
ontory.
Besides the Retvizan, the battleship
Petropavlovsk received slight damage
from a shot
The action of Vice Admiral Makaroff,
on board the armored cruiser Noyik,
in taking portion of the feet out of
the harbor on the afternoon of Friday
appealed to the patriotism and excited
the admiration of the garrison. The
food supply of Port Arthur is reported
to be abnormal, though it is necessary
to govern prices by ordinance. Three
merchants have been punished for rails
ing prices. The French caviar res
taurants and the Russian cafe chantant
are running and the naval band plays
in the park daily.
Replying to the inquiry of a foreign
gunboat at New-chwang the civil adj
ministrator characterizes the report Of
Russias intention to block the Lao
THE Shan channel by sinking junks
as calumnies.
The latest report from Feng Huan
Cheng, brought by a courier of the reg
ular native courier service, who left
that place on March 8, states that there
were no Japanese there or in that vi
cinity Therefore the reports of en-
counters at the outposts there must be
discredited.

FALSE RUM0R STARTS
RUSSIAN HOT HEADS
Papers criticise United States Before
Untrue Report Is Denied.


ST. PETERSBURG March 13.-The
circulation here Of an untrue report to
the effect that the Washington cabi-
net had decided to support the protest
of the commander of the United States
gunboat Helena, now at New-chwang,
against the action of the Russian
authorities in sinking Chinese junks
in the channel of the Lao river, and
that Washington would notify Russia
that the neutrality of New-chwang
must be respected, has created some
thing of a furry.
The Novoe Vrenlya makes this the
subject of an editorial article, entitled
more American Meddling," In which 1t
is contended that as New-chwang is
within Manchuria and is only six
miles distant from the railway to Port
Arthur, Russia has a perfect right to
take defensive measures there and that
unless the United States is seeking a
cause of quarrel it would not insist
upon supporting the protest of the
commander. Fortunately a denial of
this story reached here in time to head
off what might have proved a fresh
cause of irritation. Prince Mashchersky,
writing in the Grashdanin, q weekly
newspaper Of st. Petersburg, predicts
that Gen. Bobrikoff, governor general
Of Finland is to be appointed minister
of war.
According to a dispatch from St. Pc
tersburg, dated Feb. 90, Gen. Sakharof
had been appointed to- act as minister
of war in the absence Of Gen. Kuropat-
kin,

ARE YOU LOCKING
FOR TROUBLE :?
If You Have Dyspepsia You Don't Need
to Look Far-It's Always
With You.

There is no fun in having dyspepsia.
You feel as if the whole of creation
were in conspiracy to make you mis-
cradle, and you proceed to get sour on
the whole creation accordingly. Moth
ing goes right Everything goes wrong.
You are cranky, morose, disagreeable
and out of sorts.
There is only one thing for you to
do, and that is to invest so cents in
box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
get happy right away. They will make
you forget you ever had stomach,
and spirits will rise rapidly. They
take up the work that your stomach is
unable to perform and carry it on just
as well, sound stomach would. Their
essential ingredients are Identical with
the gastric Juice and other digestive
fluids, and their action is therefore
natural and beneficial in all respects.
Stuart,s Dyspepsia Tablets, by thus
relieving the stomach of it's burden,
permit it to rest, recuperate and re-
build it's waste tissues. Nature is very
rapid in its work of restoration where
1t is not interfered with. Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets prevent all interfer-
ence. No matter how much you eat,
the stomach is not permitted to di-
gest the food at ALL They do the work
themselves and do it regardless of the
condition of the stomach. They act
independently and are not influenced
by surrounding conditions.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists throughout the
land at so cents box. No druggist
would think of being without them,
as his customers would recognize his
inferiority in a business way, and lose
confidence in him. The demand for
them is so great and universal that it
would be a very short-sighted policy
on the part of any druggist to be with
out good supply of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets.
