Stearns of Jersey City. before the His torical Society. on the Flowers of Southern France, he passed around among the audience specimens of flaw ors and perfumes, including oils of lemon and orange. rose, jasemine. ber- gamont. musk and vanilla. As musk is obtained from an animal, it was hardly in place among flowers. Dr. Stearns thinks there are more beauti- full flowers in Southern France than in any other two countries on the earth.

 The great auto fire truck for the New York fire department which pass ed through this town a day or two ago on it's way from Springfield, Mass, to New York city, aroused and aston ished the local residents along the path of it's progress. No one could imagine what the dreadful and huge monster was, and some thought a stationary cn a journey. Others imagined that an air ship from Japan had fallen from the clouds. All of which shows how the world is making progress out side of quiet country villages.
 There is another dreadful runnor in town about those phantom car barns. This time it is thought the Connecticut company has it's eye upon a piece of land at the junction of Ferry Road and East Broadway. It would surprise no oGe if the barns were eventually plac- ed on Tea Pot Lane, or Longbrook avenue.

Consh paiion Caused
 By Indigestion
Is Cured By. Helping the Stomach Do It's Work
 As It Should.

All forms of constipation, bowel or intestinal trouble owe most of their origin to the improper digestion of food. The bowels measure 30 feet. The inside walls or surfaces are wound tightly about with millions of nerves. These nerves give life and control mil- lions of little mouths or suckers which are supposed to take nOurishmen from the food as 1t leaves the stomach and passes along this 30-foot human canal.
 When indigestion, dyspepsia or stom- ach trouble occurs, the food being un- digested, passes over these millions of mouths, it is fermented decaying mass and holds no nourishment as it should.
 The little months suck it up. in- part these impurities to the blood, inn pregnate the little nerves with poison and so the work of constipation and bowel trouble begins.
 A natural juice or secretion belongs normally in the little cells and glands along the mucous membrane of the 3o- foot canal or bowel. When indiges- tion occurs this juice is lacking and so the mass of waste matter cannot pass along as it should and is piled up and caked in the bowel thus bringing pain and misery.
 centers which give vigor and life to the bowel become paralyzed, thus for ever prohibiting the bowel from per- forming it's natural duties.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, when taken after meals, digests the food properly even though the stomach is sick and it passes to the bowels nour- ishment and juices, which help the in- testines not only to do their work at once, but builds them up, restores vii tality to the nerves. brings new secre- tion to the glands and cells. helps bowel action and enriches the blood.
 The stomach is the cause. Common sense and science are one on this point. You see it yourself. One little grain of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will per fectly digest 5000 grains of food. The assimilation of a meal by one of these tablets is an easy matter and 1t keeps the stomach clean and sweet SO that in a brief time this organ is restored.

Good Emeroency Brake.

An English railroad official at. Bur-
ton-upon-Trent has devised an emer-
gency rail groove brake, which has
been used with great success ON the
municipal line of which he Is an en-
ploye. This is an emergency mechan-
ical brake additional to and entirely
Independent of any other equipment
on the car. It is instantaneous In &C
ton and has no graduations; when
applied it must be at maximum brak-
ing effort. No expenditure of power
or sand is required for its applica-
ton. A malleable iron bracket Ia at
tached to the track frame, inside the
wheel base and close to coach wheel
flange. This bracket supports through
compression spring and pair of
links, malleable iron block carry
ing renewable manganese steel skid
shoe of shape to conform to the rail
groove. The brake is held away
from the track by steel wire or
cable, SO that when this Is released
the compressed spring forces the skid
bar into the groove. The brake block
also engages the wheel flange and is
forced downward with additional pres
sure. Only the brakes on the rear
wheels are released.

SEES ANOTHER CIVIL WAR.
Outcome of Tariff Problem and onI,

Outcome of Tariff Problem and Only
Cure For 1t, Claims John BigeIow.
From another civil war, due this
time not to slavery, but to the tariff,
the United States may be saved by
national insolvency, toward which it is
rapidly drifting, says John Bigelow,
the aged Democratic statesman, in a
| letter to the tariff reform committee of
the Reform club, in reply to one call
ing for financial assistance. Nothing
else will save the country from civil
war, he thinks.
All appeals for a real revision or a
reduction of the tariff, Mr.. Bigelow
says, are like appeals to drunkards not
to drink to excess or to burglars not to
steal so often. He goes on:
| In each and every case these appeals
are not merely to federation of crime, but
an excuse for it, just as the liberation Of
slavery blinded more than half the nation
| to the fact that slavery was not only a
disgrace to any nation, but a violation of
the divine law, which had to be expiated
by trials proportionate to its enormity.
| When your reform committee is pre-
pared to take firm stand against any
tariff upon imports, to make every har-
Dor upon our COO miles of seacoast as free
1 to the commerce of the world as those of
| New York are to those of New Jersey or
those of Pennsylvania are to those Of
Virginia, shall be happy to join you and
do what l can to promote the success of
your labors.
In such work I should have the sat
| isfaction of knowing that was not even

of taxation; also that l was helping to
put our statesmen upon an inquiry for
sources of revenue that were not tainted
with every crime, save murder, of which
| highwaymen have been condemned by the
laws of God and man.
Your hope from the division of the ad-
m:nistration party over the Payne-Aldrch
tariff bill is, l think, largely a delusion.
No one can count the number of people
that are willing to steal or go on the
highway for a living whenever public
sentiment or the law will say or even
countenance the implication that these
modes OF living are not disreputable We
have before us in the tariff precisely the
! same issue that confronted us in the re-
belion of 1861
To me 1t appears that protection Is even
more firmly fixed In it's saddle than ever
slavery was. because the property 1t gives
to the protected exceeds the total value

make no pretensions to being proph-
et and therefore l will only ask what
reason there is for hoping for deliver

lection by any less severe trials than
those by which we effaced the only re-
proach upon the constitution of the Unit
ed States provided by our conscript ia

the southern planter to go to war for the
protection of slavery that the Republican
party has not in far greater degree to
fight for protecfiop

FIRST THOUGHT FOR OTHERS
Splendid Act o. Locomotive Engineer,
In Saving tho Lives Entrusted
to Him,

THAT part of the old Marietta and
Cincinnati railroad lying between
Athens and the Ohio river was form
erly made famous by the number OF
Its long and high trestle bridges,
says an old railroader. AT one time
the railroad was in financial straits
and many of the employees were un
paid. Some of the men were des
perate, and, as the fact proved, dan
gerous. On certain evening train,
was approaching one of these trestle
bridges. 1t was known that the dt
rectors of the road were aboard, and
some villain determined to throw the
entire train from the bridge.
"The engineer, letting his train pro
coed at the usual rate of speed, sud.
denly discovered that rail had been
displaced on the bridge. He seemed
to know instinctively that the momen.N
tum was too great to save the whols
train and he signaled the brakes down
and reversed his engine-to stop, II
possible, the coaches before they
reached the chasm. Then, opening
the throttle valve, his engine sprana
forward so violently as to break the
connection with the train, and dashed
to the awful leap. The bold man, az
this was going on, ran out Of his win.
dow on the engine and opened the es.
cape valve.
"While standing there the engine
went over with him. Marvellous to re.
late. he, falling under the great
weight, was preserved by the engine
bell at his side. The train, for the
rescue of which he had exhibited such
indomitable courage. stopped just
soon enough to escape the horrible
leap after the engine. This man re-
covered from his hurts and was for
years an honored employee of the COM
pany."

stuff out of the fresh supply, and it
was largely s40O@475 trade. There
We're some lockers in evidence, and
orders from the country were light,

the feeders now coming are on the
light order and do not carry much

cents or better, but very few worth
more than s4.75 are available, and
most OF the feeders with decent weight
got between that figure and $3.50. For

Markers REGULATIONS Grow in Amount
as Investigation Proceeds.
Upton, Ind, July 2s.-The shortage
of the First National Bank of this
city, the assistant cashier of which,
Noah Marker, disappeared Saturday,
has been found to amount to $4,000
instead of 100000 as at first reported.
1t is also stated on apparently good
authority that the banks losses are
between 100000 and s1l5,0oo in addi-
ton to the $4,000 shortage. A num-
Der of bad loans have been discov-
cred.
'Tipton will hear from me in a few
days" is the message Marker is said
TO have sent to friend just before
he Went away. Miller Weir. national
bank examiner. who is investigating
the embarrassed banks condition, is
waiting for the promised news from
the assistant cashier. So are the Off
GERS and the depositors of the bank.
OF the alleged system of forgeries by
which Marker is said 10 have covered
up his defalcatiens. much has been
learned. But those interested would
like TO know how he got away with
the $4,000 he is supposed 10 have TAX
en- with him Saturday. 1t has been
learned that se5 600 of the cash in rhe
banks vaults was in a package of 500
gold certificates thar had not been op-
ened since it came from the treasury
department. This pac1zaga was four or
five inches high. The rest of the MON
ev was in loose bills of variops de-
nominations.
