NEW YORK DEMocRATTce
Republican State Committeeman Fear,

Republican State Committeeman Fears
 It is Lost to His Party.
 New York Herald.
 New York State is from So,ooO to 100000 Democratic" according to State Committeeman William Barnes, Jr., and his statement will be startling to friends of Gov. Hughes, who were sratited at the result of the election in the Niagara Orleans district, and believed that it was a great victory. Mir Barnes believes that Gov. Hughes has disrupted the Republican organi- zation throughout the State, and that the election of Wallace as Senator proves 1t. According to an editorial in tp-days issue of the Evening Jour- nal, MT. Barnes paper the political situation Is only just now being under stood. The paper says:
 With a suddenncss that is almost remarkable, most of the newspapers published in this State have awakened to the significance of the political sit uation as 1t exists in New York to-day. The strangest thing about 1t Is the fact that 1t has been caused by the election of Republican seator in the Niagara Orleans district by a plurality of PAS in a poll of about half the vote.
 "Th ere is nothing like an election to open the eyes of fanatics, Republican editors have awakened to a realization that the result in the Niagara Orleans district, especially the heavy losses in the cities, would indicate that the State of New York is from 50,oo0 to 10, 900 Democratic. Gov Huges may reiterats on the stump as many times as 1t may seem amusing to him that he would rath CT do what he thinks is right than be elected to an ofice. That statenaen sounds grand and arouses enthusiasm, but where is the Republican candidate for President coming out because of this tempest in a tea pot?
 "1s 1t not possible that Gov. Hughes has sinister designs.

 Readers 8 Chance to Try It.

Druggists do not often guarantes anything.
 But F. G. Fowler assures persons suf- fering from distressing indigestion that they can surely be relieved.
 Since nobody knows when, people have suffered from indigestion. sick headaches, bloating. dizzy spells, dis tress after eating, sleeplessness ana many other symptoms of stomach trouble, and have found the usual rene- dies pcwerless.
 At last a prescription called Mi-o-na stomach tablets is offered to the medi- cal profession and general public as , final solution of curing stomach and Intestinal troubles. Its success every where has made 1t, in the last few years. the acknowledged specific it is today.
 l. Indigestion. which is so common a trouble. is the principal cause of great share of the general poor health. It has misleading symptoms that seem ingly have no reference to the stomach, such as headaches. sleeplessness, ner- vous symptoms. etc. These condi- tions, if neglected, become chronic ana hard to shake off
 Strengthen the whole digestive sys- tenn with Mi-o-na, and you will soon find that the stomach and bowels do their work as they should. There will be no distress after eating, and the refuse will be expelled from the sys- tenn without the aid of physic.
 E. c. Fowler has so much faith in the power of Mi-o-na to cure stomach ills that he gives a guarantee with every 50-cent box to refund the money If the remedy does not do all that is claimed for 1t. He takes all the risk, and you cannot afford to pass by re- liable medicine that is sold in this way.

Arthur W. Pinero.

Arthur Wing Pinero, the celebrated dramatist. was born In London. May 24, 1855 His family is of Portuguese origin. Some thirty odd years ago he was a clerk in a solicitors office, and was studying subjects, including elocution, at the Birkbeck Institute In his evenings. Then the stage attract ed him. and he trod the boards for the best part of ten years, acting in Henry Irving's Lyceum Company and else- where. Meanwhile he wrote some farces and comedies. becoming famous at last by the production of The Squire" by Mir and Mrs. Kendall. For many years since he has been writing society dramas, which have not only made him famous, but rich, too. Critics agree that he suggests Sheridan in his manner of presenting society on the stage Pineros vital forco 1h keen ness and his never failing wit and technical skill contribute largely to his charm. Among his most widely known productions are Sweet LavoTi- der" '"fhe Weaker Sex" The Cabi- net Minister" "The Second Mrs. Tan aueray," The Princess and the But terfly." The Profligate," The Notori- ous Mrs. Ebbsmith.,' The Benefit of the. Doubt" ''rhe Gay Lord ouex." Wife Without smile.'

Plants for storage of Coal.

Popular Mechanics.
 For the purpose of keeping the an- thracite coal supply steady and to pre- vent sudden fluctuations in the market. caused by stikes and other perverse conditions, the anthracite coal com psnies have expa nded vast outlay of money in the building of -to-date, mechanically operated storage plants along the Atlantic seaboard, in the coal regions. and on the Great Lakes.
 The storage of coal has become s special science, having it's own pecu- liar conditions, it's experts, anl its in- ventions. Coal is no longer. dumped from car by the crude, old-fashioned methods, and loaded into car in the same crude way.

FOUND TRUE REMEDY
E. G. Fowler is Sure Mic na. Will
 Cure All Stomach Troubles.

The incalculable amount Of sooo thst Mi-o-na stomach tablets are ooins In Montgomery. in making SICK ana even despairing people well. should conpel the attention of every judicious person who is out of health wlth stonace troubles.
 The underlying cause of nervous de. bility, headaches. sleeplessness ana melancholy Is faulty nutrition. the re- suit of a weakened stomach and ln- active bowels
 So long as the stomach Is weak the tissues cannot assimilate proper nour- ishment. no matter how much food ta eaten. Mi-o-na increases the strength and activity of the muscular walls or the stomach, regulates the bowels and makes the blood capable of conveying nutriment to all the vital organs
 ThA use of Mi-o-na stomach tablets makes all the difference between a tired. nervous. sluggish condition, weakened stomach. and healthy. energetic bodily condition.
 In no other way can you so quick lv. so readily and so positively stimu- late the stomach to good health as by usinR M-o-na The fact that this remedy Is sold by E. G.

rhe nnlx corfee Diamond.

Probably the greatest novelty among gems is the brown or cofee diamond. There is only one of these of gen. uIne and haw1ess type In the world. so far as is known, and this is the prop. erty of Mrs. E. A. Montgomery of San Francisco.
 The diamond was once the property of an Indian prince, but to reward an Englishman who saved his life. he took from his hand the ring which held the diamond and placed this upon one of his fingers of his savior. The English : man kept 1t for many years, frequently refusing large offers for 1t, but finally he met reverses anQ vas forced to part with the jewel. So 1t eventually came into the possession of the present owner.
 The diamond weighs about i-4 ka- rats and offers of amounts as high as $50 900 have been refused for 1t. Ef- forts have been made also by Mrs. Montgomery to find a duplicate of 1t. and although she has had a standing offer of S10.000 for a mate of the gem she holds. none has ever been brought forward.

Looking at the case in one way that was a good joke played on a Polish man and woman who went to a town clerk in Connecticut to get dog H. cense. As neither could speak or un- dsrstand English and there was no in- terpreter about. the clerk naturally supposed they wanted to get marriea, so he proceeded to marry them and then gave them a marriage certiicate, Later on the unexpected bride found out how 1t was and Is threatening to sue the clerk and the town for the mis- take. Possibly she objects to the hus- band she received or else she resents the Idea of being married when she wasn't looking for 1t. This Is so sud- den" she may think.

 But what are we going to do about it7 some may be tempted to ask. we should rather inquire. what can we do about it7 It is' very easy to say that Mir.

Apples for sleepIessness.

London Globe.
 The apple is such a common fruit, says a medical writer. that very few persons are familiar with its remark ably efficacious medicinal properties Everybody ought to know that the very best thing he can do is to eat apples just before retiring for the. night. Persons uninitated in the mys- teries of fruit are liable to throw up their hands in horror at the visions of dyspepsia which such a suggestion may summon up, but no harm can come even to delicate system by the eating of the ripe and juicy apple before go- ing to bed. The apple is excellent brain food, because 1t has more phos- phoric acid in easily digested shape than any other fruit It excites the action of the liver. promotes sound and healthy sleep, and throughly dtsinfects the mouth. This Is not al; ; the apple prevents indigestion and throat disease.
