DOUBTS NERO's
STORY OF FIRE
slGNoR FERRERo, THE ITALIAN
HISTORIAN, SAYS TRUE STORY
is NOT KNOWN.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1S.-Intel
lectual Philadelphia, or so much OF 1t
as could crowd into the auditorium
OF Houston hall. gathered to listen TO
a lecture by Signor Guglielmo Ferre-
70. given under the auspices of the
University Of Pennsylvania.
This famous foreigner has attracted
much attention since his arrival in
this country, notably because OF his
call on President Roosevelt and his
lectures In New York
His subject was Nero, and while he
told an interesting story OF the life
and death of that infamous monarch,
there was none of the startling SINH
les employed In his talk on Cleopatra
He referred. OF course, to the. burn
ing OF Rome. but did not undertake to
say that Nero set fire to the ancient
city for his own amusement, or wheth-
er the official version OF the affair
that II was the work of a religious
sect was correct. He characterized
the latter version as ridiculous, In his
own view, but contented himself with
saying that the true story is not
known.

POLICEMAN BEGINS
FIGHT FOR FREEDOM

NEW YORK. Jan. 1S-Ex Police.
man David L. Shellard began his fight
for life today when he was placed on
trial before Justice Jaycox in the
Brooklyn supreme court. charged with
the murder OF pretty Barbara REG in
Irving Square, Williamsburg, on the
morning of July % last.
No case has ever been presented in
the courts that contained more mys-
terry or features OF n puzzling nature
than the crime with. which Shellard
Is accused. While the ex-policeman' s
defense Is that the girl committed sui
eide. there are many facts In the case
which conflict with the prisoners con-
tention. Shellard admits that he was
present when the girl died. Shellard
is a married man and the prosecu-
ton will claim that failing to rid him
self OF the girl, he enticed her to the
park and killed her.

CONSTIPATION CAUSED
BY INDIGESTION
Is Cured by Helping the Stomach DO
Its Work as II Should

All forms OF constipation, bowel or
intestinal trouble owe most or their
origin TO the improper digestion OF
food. The bowels measure 80 feet.
The inside walls of 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 nourishment
from the food as 1t leaves the stom-
ach and passes along this 30-foot hui
man canal
When indigestion, dyspepsia or
stomach trouble occurs. the food be-
ing undigested, passes over these mil
lions of months. II is fermented de-
caying mass and holds no nourishment
as ii should.
The little mouths suck II up, i'm
part these impurities To the blood.
impregnate the little nerves with pois-
on 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
30-foot canal or bowel. When indigna-
ton occurs this juice IL lacking and
SO the mass of waste matter cannot
pass along as it should and is piled
up and caked in the bowel, thus bring
ing pain and misery.
After u while the nerves and nerve
centers which give vigor and life 10
the bowel become paralyzed, thus for
ever prohibiting the bowel from per-
forming its natural duties.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, when
taken after meals, digests the food
properly even though the stomach IL
sick and IL passes To the bowels nour-
ishment and Juices. which help the
intestines notNonly TO do their work
at once but builds them up. restores
vitality To the nerves. brings new Sc
erection 10 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 seeeit yourself. One little
grain OF Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets

food. The assimilation OF a meal by

Five persons were severely hurt Alfred La

The police have no clew to the author Of the
outrage The injured men were in a crowd which
surrounded John Harrison Of Providence, who
was selling neckties. Without any warning the
deadly missile was thrown. apparently from the
outer edge OF the crowd. It struck close 70 Har-
rison's feet and. bounding. went past him and
exploded With a terrific roar. Pieces of iron
and glass were hurled in every direction in the
midst of the crowd but the street vender escaped
,,niniured although the bomb was apparently
aimed at him Harrison told the police that he
had no suspicion as to the identity of the bomb
thrower He said he saw no peculiar movement
in the crowd surrounding him before the bomb
was thrown. and that he had no idea even OF
the direction from which the missile came, He
said that he was not aware that he had an

From the fragments Of tho bomb which the

that il consisted Of a glass bottle or jar con-
