much wealth. Scandal followed the
result of their love for each other, and
1t ended in Stettheimer securing a d.
vorce, he settling upon his divorced
wife a rich alimony. In New York, on
November 80, 1891, she was married to
Hoyt. His wedding gift was the title
in fee simple to a large part of his land
ed estate of millions.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoyt lived together for
eight years, but a. blight came upon
their happiness, and disgrace to him,
when his wife's love for intoxicating
liquors and drugs became SO strong that
it made her a slave to them. He then
left her and sued for divorce, alleging
%infdelity. In the parting he settled on
her a mansion home in New York and
stocks, bonds and money, her posses
sions at that time, it Is said, being over
5000, 900.
In the fall Of 1901, abandoned by her
husband, Mrs. Hoyt came to Tifin and
purchased the Naples, worth $50, 900
for her home, in the most aristocratit
suburban part of the city. On 1t She
placed many improvements and gath.

trial the courtroom was crowded. The
evidence brought out a story that was
not only interesting, but romantic in
many of it's features.
Charlotte Hoyt at the time Of her
death was only 35 years of age. She
had welded two millionaires and had
travelled the pace that kills. She was
beautiful and cultured and surrounded
by all the luxuries that wealth could
bring. Her home, "The Naples" was
palatial in all its equipments, one of the
most valuable suburban residences in
Tifln, and she had a retinue OF servants
to do her bidding. Yet with all her
wealth she failed to get into society in
Tifin because of her dissipated habits.
Her death was due to alcoholism.
The maiden name OF Mrs. Hoyt was
Charlotte Guss. Her father was a poor
tenant farmer living neal this city,
With him she resided until she was 1f
years OF age. The desire to see some.

Tin Tags to Build Church.

Norfolk, Val. P. Withrow, a mer
chant, Of Hollis and Ellenboro, N. c.,
proposes to undertake to build a church
at Hollis with tobacco tags, He calls
upon every tobacco chewer in America
to aid him in this work, and tells them
that they can contribute their part to
this interdenominational church by
saving their tobacco tags, instead Of
throwing them away, and sending them
to him at Hollis post office, N. Z.
Withrow bought and sold $1,000 worth
Of tobacco tags last year, which fact,
he points out, will give a very clear idea
of how easy 1t will be to collect enough
tags to build a church, providing he rO-
ceived the cooperation Of chewers of to-
bacco.

NAMES BEST DOCTOR
MR.. BAYssoN PUBLISHES RESULTS
OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.
A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.

A Former Pronounced Dyspcptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
; reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
| cause their food does not digest, but how
to getrid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
| question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges.
tive organs, and strength comes from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my best doctor, he
says. II was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after me.ls
were almost unbearable. My sleep vas
very irregular and my complexion vas
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which I learned from
friends in France, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again totake
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic one. When dis.
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely a question of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is a native Of
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one Of a great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid of nausea, pain O
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner.
v~ousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries of q d%yspeptic, get rid of the
weakness Of the digestive organs by the
use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and a
little book, "yVhat to Eat and How to
Eat" may be obtained by any n who
makes a request for it by writing to the
DIR. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,
NY. This valuable diet book contains
an Important chapter on the simplest
mee. 8 for the cure of constipation.
