Washington, April 1.-THE present
prospects, according TO the view OBJ
taining at the Navy Department., are
that the hattleship Connecticut, being
constructed at the New York navy
ward by the government, will not only
cost approximately 500, 900 more than
her sister ship, the Louisiana, being
built by private contractors, but that
the government will lose the rate
which has been on since the building
of the two ships was begun.
Inst how much longer it may take TO
complete the Connecticut than the
Louisiana depends upon the action of
Congress. Unless Congress shall have
made provision for tho increased cost
If the Connecticut by June lst, the
work on the battleship will necessarily
be suspended.

Naples, Italy. April 1.-The erup-
tion from Mt. Vesuvius increased dur
ing the night, and a coating of ashes
and cinders to depth Of four inches
covered tho ground and the roofs OF
buildings today.
All railroad service out Of the city
is interrupted. The engineers have
refused to take out their trains, be-
cause Of the darkness caused by the
heavy fall Of ashes.
GREAT ERUPTION or SAND.
$50 a. m. "A great eruption Of sand
is observed on the east side Of the
main crater. This is worse than
ashes, as it is heavier. The election
Of ashes seems 10 have diminished.
Earth shocks are being felt in the
direction Of Ottaiano, Somma and
Nola. Fortunately, the great amount
OF ashes on the ground seems TO have
counteracted the tellurio action Of the
shocks. Another part Of the main
cone Of the volcano has fallen in,
causing a great discharge OF red-hot
stones, flame and smoke.
Reports from Sicily say ashes from
Mt. Nesuvius are noticeable there.

Washington, April IL. As a result
of observations made by American
army officers in the Far East during

TO be made by the Department in con-
nection with the field subsistence ar
rangements
Heretofore the quartermaster' de-
partment has had charge of all equip
ment pertaining TO the cooking and
baking for the troops in the field, but
under the new arrangement the COM
missary officials will have charge Of
such equipment, as we'll as the matter

HAPPENINGS OF 1900
PAPER READ BEFORE COLUMBIA
HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

At the first meeting Of the fall season Of
the Columbia Historical Society last even
ing at the Shoreham there was a large
attendance. When the literary portion Of
the program was ended q buffet supper
was served.
The president Of the society, Justice A. B.
Hagner. presided. The paper Of the evening
consisted of extracts from the journal Of
Mrs William Thornton, which had been
compiled by Mrs. JEANNE Tree Rives. AS
Introductory to the reading Of the journal
remarks were made by Mr.. w. B. Bryan.
He gave an account of how the journal be-
came accessible and where 1t is now to be
found.
M. Bryan explained that the Journal
consisting Of q number Of blank books used
by Mrs. Thornton in making the record,
were preserved among the papers of DR..
Smith. During the present year Mr. Smith
made a gift to the Library OF Congress
of all the Thornton papers. SO that the
journal Is now in the department OF manu-
of Mr.. Worthington Ford.
While the actual volumes comprising the
journal were many in number and extended
over long period of years. yet unfortu-
of historical material was practically
limited to a period of less than a year
Mrs. Thornton. who began the journal the
first of the year 1900. practically abandoned
the narrative when the end of twelve
months had been reached, and allowed the
record to become one mainly Of household
expenses, receipts and other memoranda.
Initial Year Of City.
1t was stated. however, that the record
supplied material not to be found elsewhere
for the history OF what might be termed
the initial year Of this city, and as one OF
the few contemporary accounts OF the con-
dition OF things at that time it Ia of the
greatest Importance
In the absence of Mrs. Rives, who pre-
pared the compilation, extracts from the
journal were read by the secretary Of the
society, Mrs. Mary Stevens Beall.
Upon the conclusion of the reading which
proved to be of general interest. owing in
part of the mention Of so many names Of

ity OF Washington in 1900. Justice Barnard
presented to the society the commonplace
book Of Judge Thruston. who was on tho
bench of the old circuit court Of the Dis
trict from 1909 to the date of his death
in the year 1S4b. The record of the observa-
lions Of the writer in regard to curious
and interesting facts and circumstances
which had come to his observation was &C.
companied by a brief sketch OF the career
Of Judge Thruston, prepared by Justice
Barnard.

by the president Of the society to q couple
OF water-color sketches. the property of
Miss Miller, daughter Of DR.. Miller. who
purchased from the Thorntons the house
1881 F street, where the latter resided dur
ing the period referred to in the journal
The sketches were OF the homes Of Jeffer-
son and Madison in Virginia, the latter
having been designed by Dr.. Thornton.
The social features OF the evening were

Tricked by Dyspepsia
The Doctor Couldn't Tell Where the
Trouble Lay.

For the past seven years have been a victim
of dyspepsia and chronic constipa ton and have
consulted the most noted specialists to be found
diseases of this character. None. however.
seemed to locate the difficulty give relief. In
addition to this medical treatment have resorted
to the OF many remedies and have given them
faithful trial. but all to no purpose.
Upon the recommendation of close friend
purchased 5oc. package of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets and In less than five days noticed that
was receiving more beneft than from any remedy
1 had used before. I continued to the tab
lets after each meal for one month, and By that
time my stomach was In healthy condition. ca
psble OF digesting anything which my increasing
appetite demanded.
81 have not experienced any return Of my former
trouble, though three months have elapsed since
taking your remedy"
We wish that you could see with your eyes
the countless other bona fde signed letters from
grateful men and women all over the land who
had suffered years OF agony with dyspepsia, tri'd
every known remedy and consulted eminent fpe-
calists without result, until they gave Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets q trial. Like the doctor above.
they couldn't locate the seat Of the trouble.
Dyspepsia In a disease which has long bafIed
phy slcians. 30 difncut of location Is the disease
that seems next to miraculous. There is only
one way to treat dyspepsta-to supply the ele-
ments which nature has ordained to perform this
function and to cause them to enter the digestive
oraans, supplying the fluids which they lack. Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets alone I'LL these require
ments a. Is shown by the fact that 10000 physi-
clans in the United States and Canada unite In
recommending them to their patients for stomach
disorders.
We do not claim expect stuart's Dyspepsia
TabIets to anything but disordered conditions
OF the stomach and other digestive orEans but
this they never fall to do. They work upon the
inner lining Of the stomach and intestines. stimu-
late the gastric glands and aid in the secsstion
OF juices necessary to digestion.
