Former Alderman Charles Stell, of the

sity of speedily equipping all the schools

Flemming mansion, in Grand street,
which has wooden stairways and has no
protection whatever against fire. The

called in the Financiers and that he fav-
ored the appropriation and advocated the

DAVIS CLUBPLANS
Ladies' Euchre and Rscep-
tion March l6--Great
Outing to Donnel-
ly's Grove Sep
tember IA.

The double assemblyroom of the Rob-
ert Davis Association was crowded last
night at the regular meeting of the organ
ization.
Plans for the big annual outing at
Dennelly's Grove which is to take place
this year on Wednesday, September IA,
and for the ladies' euchre and reception
to take place on Wednesday evening
March 16 were discussed.
Twenty new members were elected and
ten propositions for membership were re-
ceived.
The business meeting was followed by
social session the arrangements for
which reflected high credit upon the en-
tertainment committee, of which George
III. Donaldson was chairman. 1t was
very enjoyable affair. All the members
present at the meeting remained and
many who dropped in later were obliged
to stand in the rear. The programme
was one of considerable merit. William
McKenna, acknowledged brilliant pianist
contributed several solos and a mono
logue in his cleverest manner. Edward
0'Cennor sweetly sang numerous songs
told a number of witty stories Frank
Hiofir i~b
criptive vocalist and Eva Swinburn
cleverly sang number of -humoreus and
recitative songs. Edward Tenner de-
lighted the audience with cleverly told
dialect stories and several humorous
songs. All the entertainers were so good
that they received triple encores.
Refreshments were served by an
obliging committee. The session, all in
all, was voted one of the best the Asso-
citation has held in long while, and that
is saying a good deal-for the association
has talent to burn at its command. The
entertainment committee was lauded on
every side.
The committee is composed of Messrs.
George n. Donaldson, John Lanahan,
Michael Garry, Peter Coffey, Thomas
Lynch, Matthew Rooney, Thomas Hap
kins, John Moody, Harvey Meyers and
Harry Manchet.

AMOUNT REQUIRED $I5,76o

The Board of Fire Commissioners last
night adopted resolutions requesting the
Finance Beard to appropriate S1l,000
with which to erect a new house for No.
5 Engine Company andt$4, 100 for erect
ing an extension to the Department Hose
House in Bright street and addition to
Department Horse Hospital and altera-
tions and repairs to the old house now
occupied by No. II Engine Company in
Webster avenue, near Franklin street.
1t is proposed to replace the old dilap-
idated No. 5 Engine House in Sixth
street, between Jersey avenue and Coles
street, which is also too small and ill
adapted for the use of the department
with modern building fully equipped
for fire department purposes. The res
olution adopted last night calls for the
erection of the new house. This will ne
cessitate the company seeking other
quarters pending the erection of the pro-
posed new building. If the money is
appropriated the new building to be
erected will have twenty-five feet front
and will extend back 80 feet on the first
floor. The upper floor will be so or Cox
25 feet in dimensions.
1t is claimed that the Hose House in
Bright street and the Horse Hospital are
too entirely too small to meet presentn
needs. As is well known the building in
Webster avenue occupied by No. u En-
gine Company has long been in dilap-
idated condition. 1t in need of extensive
I repairs and alterations.
Should the amount of $4,760 asked for
these repairs, alterations, and additions
be. graHtedv$1, 200 willtbe spent on the
addition of the Department Hose House,
81 ,260 on the Horse Hospital and 1900
on the Webster avenue building occupied
by No. u Engine Company.
The Board ordered a warrant drawn
for the sum of $2S0.50 in favor of the
Firemen's Pension Fund that amount be-
ing realized by fees received by the Board
and deposited with the city, treasurer.
The Superintendent Of, Telegraph was
by resolution directed to furnish the
Board with list showin&the location of
all the fire alarm boxes, indicating those
which are interfering as we'll as nen-in-
terfering and those which have auxiliary
fire alarm connection.
Applications for positions as firemen
were received from Thomas Jaquins, No.

TOOK A STRAW VOTE.
Interesting Experiment In Res
taurant.

An advertising agent, representing q
prominent New York ma gazine, while on
recent western trip, was dining one
evening in a PittsbuFg restaurant.
While waiting for his order he glanced
over his newspaper and noticed the ad-
vertisemeat of well known dyspepsia
preparation, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets;
as he himself was regular user'of the
tablets, he began specializing as to hew
many of the other travelling smen in the
dining room were also friends Of the pop
ular remedy for indigestion.
He says: counted twenty men
at the tables and in the hetsE efice took
the trouble to- interview them and was
surprised to learn that nine of the twenty
three made proctice of taAking one of
Stuart's Dyspepsia TaSists after each
meal.
One of them told me he had suffered so
much from stomach trouble that at one
time he hadAbeen Obliged to. quit the road
but since using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's had been entirely free sfrem indiges-
ton, but he continued their use, especial
" while travelling, on account of irreg-
ularity 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 a meal without
taking a Stuart Tablet afterward be-
cause he could eat what he pleased and
when he pleased without fear of sleep
less night or any other trouble.
Still another used them because he
was subject to gas on stomach, causing
pressure on 4eart and lungs shortness of
breath and distress in chest, which he
no longer experienced since using the tab
let's regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets was the only safe remedy he
had ever found for sour stomach and
acidity He had formerly used common
soda to relieve the trouble, but the tab
lets 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 effeetu-
ally as Stuart's Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain. the
natural digestives. pepsii, diastase,
which every week stomach lacks, MS well
as nux, hydrastin and yellow parilla, and
can be safely relied on as a radical cure
for every form of poor digestion. Sold
by all druggists everywhere.

So far as gastronomy and roseate or
atory is concerned Republicans had
things all their own way at the Minka-
kwa's twenty-seventh annual dinner at
Columbia Hall, Greenville, last night.
Nearly every Republican of Prominence
in the county was present and with the
local lesser lights and several distin-
guished guests from distance they
numbered about two hundred.
The hall was tastefully decorated with
the national colors and the tables en-
bellished in an artistic as well as ap-
.petizing manner.
State Senator E. G. Stokes was there
to talk on "0ur Country" and the great
flood of prosperity that has descended
thereupon through the benign and sa-
gacious wisdom and influence of Repwe-
liean statesmen. The booming stone of
the Senator of course, gathered some
moss, but others present, Including May
or Pagan were talked of GuberRatorial
possibilities. That State Senator Wakelee
and Assemblyman John Boyd Avis, who
were to fellow in the oraterical wake of
Senator Stokes failed to materialize,
threw no damper whatever upon
the spirits of the Minks and
their guests. There were Mayor
Pagan to talk on his fayorite
theme of equal taxation and Corporation
Counsel George L. Record to furrner
eiucidate the plans that are being put
forward to bring to bring it about Then
with Corporation Attorney Carey as
tcastmatser, and other speakers galore if
necessary there was no danger of inter-
est tagging or enthusiasm waning. Net
even the letters from President Roosevelt
and United States Senators Drydea and
Kean regretting their inability to be
present and join in the feast had the
tS1sl 0CPESSoAAS oASIt- Inc On1s Scul-
blance of regret manifested was caused
by the receipt of a letter from Captain
Jack Graham explaining that he had
to stay home and mind the baby. Its
too bad,' was the universal verdict. 1t
was the first dinner of the Minks that the
Captain has missed since the club began
years ago giving annual dinners.
Besides the Stokes and ;Fagan guber-
Material beoms that of State Treasurer
Frank o. Briggs secured some impetus
Marshall Van Winkle was doomed for
Congress.
Senator Stokes occupied the principal
seat of honor at the table and Mayor
Pagan the next. Others who occupied
seats of honor were Colonel Samuel D.
Dickinson, the Rev. John E. Heindel
Of the Evangelical Church of the Re
deemer, Judge Charles w. Parker,
Police Commissioner Tilden, Chief of
Police Murphy, Police Inspector Archi-
