SIDNEY HERBERT'S LETTER
Facts Of Interest to Confederate and Union
Veterans and Others

Pine Crest Villa, Maitland. Fla 4
Feb. THE only graduate at the Ma
val Academy last Monday from Georgia
was Midshipman F.. G.. Upper of At
lanta, whose father, Mr.. S. Y. Upper.
prominent insurance man, was a
member of the board of visitors. The
chairman of the Committee on the
Farewell Ball to the Graduates. was
Midshipman ]. w. Wilcox of Georgia.
A great deal is being said about
Rev. DR.. Greer's three destinations to
bishoprics before he accepted the
fourth. 1t has long been customary
for clergymen to decline this honor.
Before the Civil War 1 attended an
Episcopal convention in Philadelphia
and heard Rev. DR.. William Bacon
Stevens, formerly of Georgia, decline
in these words: II do not desire the
office of bishop" But, like Rev. DR..
Greer, he later on changed his mind
and became a bishop. Ministers often
decline the degree of doctor of divinity.
and army officers decline brevet pro-
motions. Why, Col. Jefferson Davis
declined brigadiership in the United
States Army, the first one ever offered
a West Pointer, and Col. William Cum
ming of Augusta, Ga, most accom-
plished officer, also declined a similar
commission. Last Sunday stated
that the Constitution reporter had
struck hot gold brick" in a garral-
Gus ex-Union soldier at the Piedmont
Hotel. 1 am afraid the Morning News
reporter has followed suit.
My recent reference to the heroic
deaths of the Habersham brothers of
Savannah, in the battle of Atlanta, has
led Mr.. G. Noble Jones to kindly send
me neat little pamphlet reprint of a
tribute to them. which appeared in the
Atlanta Constitution. In 1878 1 pub

Russia Declares That She Is Very
PeacenbIy Inclined.
London, Feb. "a dispatch to Reu-
ter's Telegram Company from st. Pet
ersburg says:
IAN authoritative statement from a
Russian source regarding the contents
of the Russian reply is as follows:
If the Japanese government is ami
mated by the same pacific sentiments
as the Russian government, there is
reason to hope that it will give Rus
sia's fresh proposals such favorable re-
ception as to permit mutual accord be-

MAKE PEACE WITH
YOUR STOMACH
You Are Certain to Lose IL You At
tempt the Use of Force and
Violence


You cannot force your stomach to
40 work that 1t is unable and unwil-
ling to do. 1t has been tried time and
time again with always the same re-
suit. The stomach is a good and
faithful servant; but when pushed
beyond the limit it rebels. Some
stomachs will stand much more abuse
IMAM others, but every stomach has
its limit; and when that limit is
reached, it is very dangerous and
unwise proceeding to attempt to force
IT into doing further work. The sem
sible and reasonable course is to en-
ploy Il substitute to carry on the work
| Of digestion and give the stomach an
opportunity to recuperate ana regain
its lost strength.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
only perfect substitute to take up and
carry on the work of tired, worn-out
stomachs. They are natural and easy
in their work and cause no disturb
ance in the digestive organs. They
contain all of the essential elements
that make up the gastric Juice and
other digestive fluids and will digest
any food that a strong, healthy stom-
ach will, and do II in the same, time
and in the same way. They work in
dependently of surrounding conditions
and the fact that the stomach is weak
or diseased does not influence them
oe ga ehNia ASSA0i anu GiISCllNG
work. They will digest food just as
well IN a glass jar or bottle as they
will in a stomach. You can see that
for yourself by putting one of them
into jar with a square meal and
some water to enable II to work.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets by thus
relieving the stomach of its work en-
ables that organ to rest and recuper-
ate and regain its health and strength
The process is perfectly natural and
plain. Nature will heal the stomach
just as she heals wound or a broken
limb, II she is not interfered with and
is permitted to do her work in her
own way. All interference is prevent
ed by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by druggists everywhere at so
cents a box, and If you are afflicted
with dyspepsia. one box will make you
feel fifty times better. You will forget
you have a stomach and rejoice in the
forgetfulness. No druggist will be so
short sighted as to try to get along
without Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
for they are so popular and are so
well known for the good they have
done and the happiness they have
caused that any druggist caught with
out them would lose the confidence of
his customers and be regarded as be-
low the standard. His business would
suffer as a result and his patrons
would go to other stores and buy their
other drugs there as we'll as their
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.

MAY GIVE SATISFACTION.
Some Think the Answer of Russia
VIII Suit Japan.

VIII SUIT Japan
Paris, Feb. 6.-The Temps corre-
spondent at st. Petersburg telegraphs
that the Russian reply is considered by
those close to Foreign Minister Lams-
dorff as being of a nature to give sat-
isfaction TO Japan. He adds that while
ignorant of the contents of the reply.
it is easy to divine that it is "couched
in most conciliatory terms, and rec
ognizes Japanese economic supremacy
in Corea, but opposes the erection of
Notifications at the principal strategic
points. In Manchuria Russia recog-
nizes all the rights acquired. but will
make no engagements for the future. !"
One of the most prominent of the
Russian officials said this evening that
definite knowledge concerning the con-
tents of the Russian reply would be
communicated to the world certainly by
Monday. This official intimated that
at least some of the essential features
had already been made known to the
French government. He recognized
that war would not be popular in Rus
STA, because of the distance from the
scene of the conflict and the unfamil-
iarity of the Russian people regarding
the question. At the same time the
official said:
WAR can be avoided If Japan is
willing, for substantial concessions have
been made, upon which the negotia-
tions can continue. Russia is prepared
for eventualities and rupture of the
negotiations-not as ostentatiously as
Japan but none the less effectively"

NR. HARTMAN has probably
done more than any other
physician toward popularizing
a means of escape from the facial de-
formities, such as watsry eyes, twisted
nose, offensive breath, dry cracked
lips, due to the ravaging effects of ca
tarrh.
He has made chronic catarrh life
long study. His remedy, popularity
known as Peruna, is the most famous
remedy for catarrh in existence.
Probably there is not a man or wo-
man, boy or girl, within the bounds of
the United States that has not heard
of Peruna. BY far the largest major
ity have used Peruna.
The multitude of people that have
been cured of chronic catarrh by using
Peruna can never be known.

receiving deposits after he knew the
Farmers and Merchants bank at Mont
gomery of which he was president, was
1nsolvent, was yesterday sentenced by
Judge Caldwell at LIE Sueur to five years
in the penitentiary
Brainerd is the son of J. c.. Brainerd
OF Blooming Prairie, a Well-known and
highly respected Iumberman. About two
years ago he came to Minneapolis and
started the George 8. Brainerd Lumber
company, with offices on the first floor of
the West hotel.
few months later this company was
superseded by a corporation, of which he
was president; o. E. Deckert, vice presi-
dent, and G. T. Blamer, secretary and
treasurer, known as the Brainerd, Deck
ert 81 Blamer company having extensive
lumber yards on Washington avenue
northeast, at Twenty-fourth street.
Last fall, between two days, Brainerd
disappeared, and it was found that the
funds of the concern had been Withdrawn
from the bank. The company went into
the hands Of a receiver, who wound up
its affairs in creditable style.
The private bank at Montgomery, which
Brainerd had purchased also failed at
this time. Brainerd was supposed to have
fled the country and gone to Mexico; but
it appears that he was In the Northwest,
and even spent a portion of his time in

GEN. KUROPATKIN
BEFORE THE ALTAR
Russian Commander Performs Most
Solemn Rights of the Church.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 26.-Like a
knight of olden times before going to
battle, Gen. Kuropatkin today per-
formed the most solemn rites of the
mother church. After fasting this week
he went to the church in the cadet
corps academy, where he was edu-
Gated, made his confession and par
took of the sacrament. A touching GER
emony followed. The officiating priest,
holding up the sacred image Of ST.
Sergius, which has just arrived in
Moscow, blessed the PROSTATE COM
mander and bade him Godspeed. The
general was shaken with emotion and
embraced many of his assembled COM
rades.
The metropolitan Of Moscow, who
accompanied the image of st. ,Sergius
to this city, has received letter from
the car, recalling the overthrow of the
Tartar hordes under its auspices and
prophesying that 1t will also lead the
Russians to victory over the japanese.
Like millions of their subjects, the
car and czarina today made confess
sion of their sins. It was a day of
praise as we'll as of prayer, however,
and the rites attending the ceremony
Of confession alternated with thanks
givings for the news received from the
East. Their majeStieS confessed in
the church Of the winter palace to
Court Chaplain Yanysheff, and after
ward walked in the palace garden.
The visit of the car and the czarina
to the imperial tombs in the cathedral
of st. Peter and St. Paul and the
fortress of ST Peter and st. Paul oc-
Cured this afternoon. The appear
ance Of their majesties driving out was
considered by the crowds as an augury
Of good news from the East, and they
were cheered wildly as they crossed
the Neva. They prayed for long
time beside the tombs Of the cars
father and brother, and cheering
multitude again greeted them as they
drove to the chapel of the Savior in
Peter the Greats house, which is a
short distance from the fortress,
where they attended special service
of prayer.
