Who Said Dinner7

There are many people who can see nothing good in doughnut except the hole. For them there is nothing in this world but calamity. Their greatest trou- ble is to have to eat three times a day The stomach is in rebellion, and this is immediately shown in a mans face. A man to be successful must have sunshine inside. The world already has too many dyspepsia faces that breathe disaster and gloom.
 Stomach trouble is the most common cause of discomfort, sour face, reckless ness, disgust and lack of ambition. A bad stomach-there is the secret of many a failure. Any one can have a good stom- ach, a strong stomach that can take care of anything and everything that is put into 1t, no matter whether 1t is a very bad stomach or not
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this very thing. One ingredient of these little tah- lets digests 5000 grains of food, and no matter how bad your dyspepsia or indi- restion they will digest everything in vour stomach. thoroughly and complete ly. and better and more quickly than a good. strong healthy stomach can do it.

pier. She gives this sum for the en- dowment of what she calls the Sage Foundation" and in explaining her plain says:
 Tt will be within the scope of such a foundation to Investigate and study the causes of adverse social conditions, in- cluding ignorance, poverty and vice, to suggest how these conditions can be rem edied or ameliorated and to put in operation any appropriate means to that end"
 Many inquiries have been conducted into the causes of adverse social condi- tions" but perhaps never on so large a scale as contemplated by Mrs. Sage. Perhaps the present inquiry will show what every such inquiry has shown since the investigation made nearly seventy years ago into the condition of the Lon don poor. that some of these ''causes' can be removed only by changing the nature of man. Vice, laziness and im- providence are sometimes inborn. The suffering they cause may be lessenedt but there is no radical and permanent cure. An intelligent use of the funds of the Sage Foundation will undoubtedly disclose many curable causes, however.
 Since the death of her husband. Mrs. Sage has been pestered with applications for charity from every imaginable source. Her mail has reached as high as 300 let
  as well as from foreign countries. This vast correspondence led her to make statement on December 2S of last year, in which she said:
 'Whatever be the personal or family needs of poor people in Chicago, Boston. Baltimore and Washington, l cannot be looked to to supply them. I have at my doors, in my own city of 100000 in- habtants, plenty of such cases which have a nearer claim upon me in so far as I may desire to recognize it.
 The first use Mrs. Sage made of her husbands money was to double the be- quests he made to his relatives, and all chance of will contest was thus ended. Her first large gift was to the Rensselaer, Polytechnic institute better known as the Troy Polytechnic. This institution re- ceived $1,000,000 on February l. The money was given unconditionally.
 The following day another gift of s1 OOO OOO was announced, the Emma Will lard school being the recipient At the same time a gift of $25O,00 was made to the international committee of the Young Mems Christian Association. The Emma Willard gift was first announced as $1OOOO0, but it was corrected in day or two to the larger figure.
 Besides these gifts Mrs. Sage has made several smaller ones, particularly to her servants.

A Trust UpheavaI.

There is excitement among the trusts caused by the action of the Secretary of State of New Jersey, which is some times called the home of the trusts. There is a law in New Jersey requiring every corporation chartered there to file an annual report of it's financial condi- ton. Eight thousand of these corpora lions have failed to obey the law and as result they have been notified that their directors are liable to be busted from serving for one year and that each corporation is liable to a fine of $12oo If the threat were carried out in the case of every one of the 5000 that have dis regarded the law the New Jersey state treasury would be richer by $2,00000O.
 At present there are 15,000 corporations chartered by New Jersey, but 1000 of them have flied their annual statements as re- Qlired

The Railroad Panic.

thS it6''iSd0
 Panic is the only word to describe the railway situation-that is, judging from surface indications. It is possible that 1t may be a personally conducted panic trottel out for the purpose of frighten- ing President Roosevelt off the trial of the railroads. If it is a fake panic the stage management has been well done.
 It is interesting to note that the panic arrived very soon after Mir. E. H. Har- rimans visit to Washington. While there MT. Hartman prophesied that something of the sort would happen unless assur- ances were given that there would be a recess in railroad inquiries. sMr liar rinlan had never before talked so much for the public. He did not send for the reporters only once, but many times. Mr. Hartman might be termed the press agent Of the panic
 Following him Mir. J. Plerpont Morgan paid visit to Washington If the Pres- dent desired he could write a very in- teresting paper on 'The Two Morgans." He has met them both. He met the first MT. Morgan shortly after the North ern Securities suit was begun. That Mir. Morgan was clustering sort of person: a man who seemed accustomed to having his own way and appeared bent on having it in that instance. First, he rebuked MT. Roosevelt for not having gwen Wall street nOllce tlldL the NOTIn- ern Securities litigation was to be start ed. Then he wanted to knoY if the railroad lawyers and the governments lawyers could get together and fix up things. The President said no He also said some other things, just what they were only Mir. Morgan and MT. Roosevelt know. MT. Morgan left the White House in a huff and refused to say anything about his visit The Pres s.la ,t1f1in it-n
 The second MT. Morgan visited the White House Monday night He was all smiles, but humble. No clustering. noth- ing of the dictatorial manner. He wanted to know if Mr. Roosevelt would con sent to meet the presidents of four of the big railroads for discussion of some means of allaying public" anx- iety. Mr. Roosevelt said he would be charmed to meet the railroad presidents. He may have smiled when Mir Morgan spoke of public" anxiety. thinking per laps that the railroad men were doing all the worrying, but he did not say so.
 Mir. Morgan returned to New York. There was slight advance in stocks and tlon the panic began, many of the standard railroad shares reaching the lowest figures they have touched in years. The market reviewers attributed the starting of the panic to rumors from abroad but there are some hard-headed persons who do not write market re- views, who had been predicting panic for several days. They were sure that if ii were not natural result of pres ent conditions MT. Morgan and his friends would help it along for the efect It night have on the President.
 But after all such q view seems ab- surd It seems equally absurd that in- ,estors should see anything in the pres ent situation to inspire panic, yet It Is said that there has been considerable selling by investment interests.
 Only one thing is certain. The Presi-

Fish Joins Gould.

An event of this week of absorbing interest to Wall street was the election of Stuyvesant Fish, whom k. II. Harri- man busted recently from the presidency of the Illinois Central system, to the directorate of the Missouri Pacific. This means that Mr Fish has allied himself with George k Gould to fight Hartman. and Is regarded in railroad and financial circles as a direct reply to the recent rumors that Mr. Hartman had admitted A1r Gould to the community of railroad interests in the west.
 Probably the greatest importance of Mir Fish's addition to the Missouri Pacific management among railroad men is in it's bearing on the New Orleans project of the Missouri Pacific. This Is a contnu- ous low grade railway line which Hanks the Mississippi river in the west from St. Louis to 4.ew Orleans by connee- ton with the Texas and Pacific railway at Clayton, La.
 After leaving St. Louis the main line of the Missouri Pacific makes short cut from point in Missouri to Para gould, Ark.
 Sections of existing line are used for a continuous route along the west bank of the river at Baton Rouge, where a connection with the Texas Pacific takes the line into New Orleans.
 It is not generally known that the entire new low grade line to Baton Rouge is completed although it has not yet been operated.
 This route directly parallels the Illinois Central railroad on the other side or the river
 Probably no railroad official is so fami- liar with the business in the Mississippi Valley as Stuyyesant Fish. who has de- voted the best years of his life to the development to traffic in that territory.

Plus TX, he inaugurated the missionary society of St. Paul the Apostle known all over the United States and Europe as the Paulist Fathers.

He became Il convert while at the naval academy. He left Harvard to join the Paulists. being ordained priest in 1871. Father Searle is a man of great scien- tific attachments. and was recently made an honorary member of Lick observa- tory.
 Fathers Healy and O'Hern are both en- thusiastic Paulists. eager to acquain, non-Catholics with the real faith and practice of their church.
 The Paulist athers take as a basis the supposition that if there is antagonism to the Catholic faith it does not arise from i'll will on the part of those that are out side the church. but on misunderstand- ing and msconception of her teachings that if there is prejudice against the church it is not calculated and self. willed prejudice, but proceeds rather from want of a clear Knowledge of her claims and SO they do not invite and seek con troversy nor offend by attack but simply explain what Catholics believe and why they believe it.

 Both the question box and the idea of giving doctrinal lectures to non-C Catholics originated with the Paulist fathers, who form distinctly American community, and are it is claimed, thoroughly Ameri- can in their methods and ideas.
 The founder of the Paulist community, the distinguished Father Isaac T. Hecker, was born in New York City December IS, 1919, of German-Lutheran parents. His mother became a Methodist AS boy he was obliged to leave school early and worked from the age of F to F years in his brothers bakery Dr. Orestes A.
