offered to resign IL the Republican
members Of the Legislature would elect

not affect the ballot today.

Pont in the Legislature claimed that
when they agreed to support Mr.. Rich
ardson last week it was with the un-
derstanding that the Union Republican
dissenters would this week vote for
Colonel DUPONT Efforts TO reach an
agreement on this basis today, how
ever, were futile.
REGULARS STOOD TOGETHER.
The seven Union dissenters were aid
ed in their opposition to joining with
the Regulars by Senator Alice and
number Of Addicks workers who were
in the State House. The Regulars de-
cided to stand together and they die
so. The Union insurgents supported I
Coleman Dupont.
But one ballot was taken and it was
again without result as follows:

TRIAL OF THE VIRGINIA.
New Battleship Slightly Exceeds Her
 G0mfpnef Sueed.

Boston. Nov. 2s.-The battleship Fir- ginia completed her official speed tests today in a four hour endurance run down the coast, during which sne slightly exceeded her contract speed or nineteen knots an hour by maintaining an average revolution of her propellers of t29 5 a minute. Her speed today, as announced by the trial board, was 19. Knots an hour.
 On her screw standard run test held on the measured mile off Rockiand Tuesday, 1t was ascertained that the Virginia would have to maintain l23. revolutions of her prope1lers to attain her required speed of nineteen knots. This was done today with slight ex- ces of two-tenths of a revolution, on which basis the trial board figured her speed for the four hours. no legs or marks being used
 The big battIeship was favored with good weather There was a fair to strong headwind. but the sea was smooth Throughout the entire run. while the nineteen knots were being maintained. the water poured in great volumes over her bow and completely flooded her forward deck. The engines worked smoothly and an average of 23,600 horsepower was kept up during the run.
 The average speed of the Virginia on her endurance tests was the same as that made by the Rhode Island, sister ship. three weeks ago. The Virginia, after dropping the time board of Bos- ton light, proceeded to her builders yard at Newport News.

CARE OF OLD SOLDIERS
MOUNTAIN CREEkk HOME TO SUF-
 FER NO EMBARRASsMENT.
The Board of Control Meets In Mont gomery and Makes Provision for Debt Until Legislature
 COnvenes.

At a special meeting which had been called for yesterday by Governor Jelks the Board of Control of the Confederate Soldiers Home at Mountain Creek made all arrangements to carry the debt that hovers oyer the institution until the next meeting of the Legislature All members of the Board were pre- sent except Captain W. C. Ward, oi Birmingham.
 The members are: At large. Cap tain J. NJ. Falkner. Captain W. D. West colt and c. L. Ruth, of Montgomery A. C. Danner. of Mobile from the First Congressional District: General J. B Stanley, of GreenviIle from the Second District, successor of J. c. Kendrick deceased; S. T. Frazer. of Union Springs. from the Third District; H. c Reynolds. of MontevaIio. from the Fourth District;. w. A. Handley, of Glover. of ForkIand. from the Sixth District; L. B. Stone. of Ferile. from the Seventh District: Samuel Blackwell of Decatur, from the Eighth District and Captain W. c. Ward. of Birming- ham from the Ninth District.
 The meeting was one of the mos! representative that has been held in the history of the Home. The mem- bers came to Montgomery determined lO tue ONCi tuS OchCit lHttb IIcdbCIcu the Home. The approachin deficit had been made known through a special examination of Captain c. F Sedberry. Assistant State Examiner. by direction of the Governor. It had been found that good portion of the quarterly appropriation for the mainte- nance of the old soldiers had been used by the former commandant of the Home to settle outstanding claims against AIA tive committee knew nothing and until the examination a few days ago knew nothing of the application of current appropriation to outstanding claims.
 In this way and by a transfer of some of the maintenance appropriation to the improvement fund the allowance for the quar.-~ -aginning October 1 this year was considerably reduced. It could be easily seen that the rest of the allowance would not care for the soldiers until January i. Something had to be done and that quick.
 Appeals for contributions to the Home were made either in cash or in clothes of which the soldiers were in need. These appeals it was announced yester- day, are still to be made. While a loan was negotiated yesterday to meet the emergency it does not do away with the indebtedness which must nang over the Home until the next Legisla- ture year hence unless it Is all liquidated by contributions and dona- tions.
 The sentiment of the Board members at yesterdays meeting was fervent and when the deliberations began 1t is said there was no doubt but that the dilemma of the Home would be bridged over in some way. The session was executive. but fl was given out that the debt had been negotiated and there will not be any privations to be suffered by the inmates at Mountain Creek. Most of the mem bers went home yesterday and last night Those who do not live in Mont. gomery and are still here will probably leave today.

THREE FIRE ALARMS.
Department Kept Busy and Loss Wa
 Slight.

Department Kept Busy and Loss Was
 Slight.
 Between the hours of s a. m. and s1 p. m. yesterday the Montgomery fire department was called three times, but the fires resulted in but slight damage.
 The first alarm came in at S:30 o'clock yesterday morning from a house at no Washington Street owned by |. Gladden.. The house was unoccupied, but some one. who had been working around the premises, went into a small two-room structure in the rear of the building and, without noticing that a quantity of paper had been stuffed in the chimney fiue, began making fire in the grate. The result was that it was thought for a time that the house was on fire. There was no damage.
 At 12:55 o'clock yesterday afternoon the fire department was called to a house at 524 North Decatur Street, oc- cupied by William Wright, negro. quantity of bedclothing had been piled up against the weather boarding of the house and the clothing caught fire. The articles were slightly dam aged, but the house was barely scorched. Zirkle & Moore are the agents for the building.
 An alarm was sent in at 1 o'clock from a residence at 30 Clay Street. The house is owned by Henry Englehardt. but was unoccupied. A family had just moved out of the house. but had left a fire in the grate and sparks from the chimney ignited the roof. The blaze was extinguished with Babcocks after a small hole had been burned in the roof.

Ton cannot treat your stomach as some men treat a balky horse: force, drive or even starve 1t into doing Work at which it rebels. The stomach IS a patient and faithful servant and Will stand much abuse and i'll treatment be- fore it 'balks," and when II does you had better go slow with 1t and not at- tempt to make it work. Some people have the mistaken idea that they can make their stomachs work by starving themselves. They might cure the stom- ach that way, but 1t would take so long that they would have no use for stom- ach when they got through. The sen the stomach rest If 1t wants to and em- ploy a substitute to do its work.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do the work of your stomach for you and di- gest your food just as your stomach used to when 1t was well. You can prove this by putting your food in glass jar with one of the tablets and sufficient water and you will see the food digested in just the same time as the digestive fluids of the stomach would do it. That will satisfy your mind Now, to satisfy both your mind and body take one of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets before eatting-eat all and what you want--and you will feel in vour mind that your food is being di Rested because you will feel no dis turbance or weight in your stomach, in fact. you will forget all about having A stomach, just as you did when you were a healthy boy or girl.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act in a natural way because they contain only the natural clements of the gastric juices and other digestive fluids of the stomach. It makes no difference what condition the stomach is in, they go right ahead of their own accord and do their work. They know their bus mess and surrounding conditions do not influence them in the least They thus relieve the weak stomach of all its bur dens and give 1t It's much needed rest and permit 1t to become strong and healthy.
