NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY. A Positive Cure for Dyspepsia. This may read as though we were putting it a little strong because it is generally thought by the majority of people that Dyspepsia in its chronic form is incurable, or practically But we have long since shown that Dyspepsia is curable, nor is it such a difficult m er as it fi appears. ¥ trouble with Dyspeptics is that : continually dieting, starving or going to opposite ex- se deluging the already ed stomach with “bitter: pills,” etc., which invaria- the ty even if in! hey do give a slight tem- | Such treatment of the stomach simply makes matters worse. so. | What the stomach wants is a rest. Now how can the stomach become rested, recuperated and at the same time the body nourished and sustained?

This 18 a comparative new remedy, but its | success and popularity leave no doubt | a8 to its merits. The tablets will digest the food any- | way, regardless of condition of stom- | ach. The sufferer from dyspepsia, accord- | ing to directions, is to eat an abund- | ance of good, wholesome food and use the tablets before and after each meal | and the result will be that the food will be digested no matter how bad your dyspepsia may be, because as be- fore stated, the tablets will digest the food even if the stomach is wholly inactive.

But this can be said no longer with truth. Some of the most picturesque parts of the western highlands, which were inaccessible except to hardy and enthusiastic lovers of natural beauty, are now traversed by railways by means of which it is possible to reach one’s destination in almost any direc- tion from Dublin in the course of a sin- gle day or in even less time. The Shannon is now navigated by commo- dious steamers throughout the greater part of its majestic course.

Apropos of touring in Ireland, it may interesting to mention that the Giant’s Causeway—a spot which must | be known to most students of geog- raphy, whether they are Irish or not— is now railed off from the general puv- trance fee of sixpence a head—reduced on Sundays to half that amount. This | is a new departure brought about the action of a syndicate which soma time ago purchased the Causeway and thereupon determined to close it to the public except on the terms of an ad- mission fee being paid by every visitor. In my last letter I think I said a good deal about the late Sir John Arnott of Cork. The latest news about him fs | that he died even a more wealthy man than was generally supposed. He left behind him at least a million pounds sterling in personalty, in addition to real property of considerable amount. His will shows that he entertained to the end a genuine sympathy with those who assisted him to realize this fine fortune. One of his principal sources of income was his newspaper, the Irish Times. To the manager of that pa- per he left a very considerable legacy, and he has done a similar good turn by the chief men in the management of his other business concerns. On the whole, he “cut up well,” as the some- what brutal phrase goes, and it is only a pity that he did not live longer to enjoy the fruits of his active and be- nevolent life. n flier, just as it was approaching Ontario, Or., yester- ions of an Arkansas family, the members had evidently driven mad.

Additions have also been made to the electrical designs put up a week ago, and there will be much to see and hear all the week. IANNA ACCUSED BY DEMOCRATS the Conflicting Reporis of Bribery Investigsting Committee, Hearsay Testimony Said to Have Been Admitted by His Political Foes. Special Dispatch to The Call, COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 23.—A ma- Jority of the Senate committee to-day reported that evidence showed a con- spiracy to elect M. A. Hanna Uni‘ed States Senator by bribery, and that the attempt by General Boyce to bribe Representative Otis was known to Rathbone, Dick, Hanna and other workers in M. A. Hanna's interest at Columbus. Senator Garfield's minority report says Otis and his attorney, T. C. Camp- bell, testify that Boyce disclaimed to them connection with Hanna's Colum- bus workers, but that he (Boyce) wus sent out by New York parties, whose identity he refused to disclose. The testimony of Otis and Campbell, Mr. Garfield says, is all that was given in accordance with the rules of evidence in the courts of Ohio, which the com- mittee agreed to follow, but later the majority of the committee admitted hearsay testimony with a view of con- necting Mr. Hanna with the alleged crime if possible. Both the majority and minority re- ports review the testimony at great length. The two reports were quickly disposed of by the Senate. By a strict party vote the minority report was re- Jjected and the majority report adoptad. Indian Commits Suicide. REDDING, April 23.—Charley P.

Some of the London Journals Begin to Grow Surly and Snar! at This Country. Special Dispatch to The Call. BERLIN, April 23.—With singular unanimity the German press of every class is condemning the United States for the course taken toward Spain. All the German papers impute to the | and praise the attitude of Spain, in con- trast with ‘“the undignified course | Which the United States is pursuing.” The most rabid of all the German pa- ‘pers in this regard is the Tageblatt, | which usually has been friendly to- ward American aspirations. The deep interest taken by the German public | in the matter is shown by the fact that practically the entire space of the newspapers is given up to news rela- tive to the Hispano-American struggie. Everything emanating from Washing- | ton is discussed in hostile temper or | sarcastically commented upon, while | pro-Spanish statements are indorsed | and applauded. The semi-official newspapers, if not | favorable to the United States, are at | |least more cautious. They steadily | | point out why Germany cught to and | Wwill maintain the strictest neutrality, laying stress, among the reasons they | advance for such a position, upon the | fact that millions of Germans, born in ilhe United States, heartily side with | quarrel with Spain. The organ of Prince Bismarck, the Hamburger Nachrichten insists that Germany must follow the nolicy which will be the most useful to her own in- terests. “I* s wholly indifferent to Germans,” says the newspaper, | “whether Cuba remains a Spanish col- ony or becomes an American independ- ent republic. But German-American in- terests must be watched and attention must be paid to the feelings of Ger- man- in the United States. The Nachrichten, however, charac- terizes the action of the United States as “‘an insolent piece of presumption against the rest of the world, an un- | justifiable outrage, quite analogous to | the interference by Greece in Crete.” | Concluding, the Nachrichten says: “But German theoretic opposition to | Monroeism can only be practically en- | forced when German interests are di- | rectly concerned, which is not now the case. Therefore the Nachrichten counsels the strictest neutrality, s: : "It must be left to Spain indi- vidually to resent American insolence.” Other semi-official German newspa- pers, looking to the future insist upon | the importance of Germany's doing }nnthim: to incur the lasting enemity | of either of the opponents. The Schlesische Zeitung emphasizes this opinion in saying: “There are mil- lions of Germans in the United States who love their old home, but feel in this matter the same as the other citi- zens of the United States.” The Vorwaerts concludes a long ar- ticle upon the war betwen Spain and the United States by saying: “The ene- mies are too unequal to admit of any | supposition but that the war will end in the utter exhaustion of Spain. To | Spain’s loss, however, there will be no | corresponding gain to the United States. Thus the war, no matter how | it ends, means a great disaster, and | even the dollar-crazy Americans will hardly be able to call it ‘good busi- ness.’ | Commercial men, particularly ship- pers and exporters, regard the war as | favorable to German interests. The Russian Ambassador at Berlin, Count v Soten-Sacken, in an interview | with a correspondent, which presum- | ably voiced the ~ninion of his Govern- | ment, said: “It must be recognized | | that the Madrid Cabinet throughout | has maintained a perfectly correct, | peaceable and dignified attitude, while | the Government of the United States has been behaving in a manner which cannot be approved of by believers in either justice or peace. This is the | | common impression in Russia, even in | official circles. After the recent be- havior of the United States, the con- clusion is inevitable that might is go- ing before right in the Cuban ques- tion. So far as I know, Russia, like Germany, will preserve a strict neu- trality.” GREAT INTEREST TAKEN BY THE ENGLISH. But the Press of London Is Begin- ning to Follow the L ad of German Cousins. LONDON, April 23.—The interest taken by the public at large in the war between the United States and Spain could hardly be exceeded if Great Brit- ain herself were engaged in it. No other topic is discussed, though hourly editions of the newspapers are eagerly bought, and the wildest stories are rife. On the delivery carts or some of the newspapers are displayed the Stars and | Stripes and the Union Jack, side by side. The St. James Gazette, continuing In the same anti-American strain as for several days past, says: “The blockade will clearly not be effective. It is of the kind which the United States prom- ised it would not endeavor to enforce, and which no one s bound to respect.” | The paper foresees general interna- | tional trouble on the subject and urges | the British Government to send Vice- | Admiral Sir John Fisher, commanding | the West Indian and North Atlantic squadron, on a tour of inspection of the | Cuban coast, to report to what degree | he finds the blockade in existence. Both the St. James Gazette and Dally News continue to print letters, the general tendency of which is to show that the British public does not sym- pathize with the United States. The Daily News prints a letter say- | ing that that paper, as well as the | Times, the Spectator and other papers of the same standing, are out of touch with the real public sentiment, “‘in re- gard to the present high-handed pro- ceedings of the Americans.” The Saturday Review is teeming with insults to the United States, which, it says, is “socially sordid to the last degree, its courts and civil institutions are corrupt and it has shown the world the depth of public depravity Into which civilization is capable of de- scending.” As to the reason why the English ruling classes really “sympa- thize with Spain,” the Saturday Review United States selfish and base motives their adopted country in the present | says: “It is a question of manners. We are all disgusted with those raw, blatant Americans, who scour Europe in search of their self-respect and can- not conduct a mere legal cause with decencv.” i DEATH CLAIMS UDGE SPENCER San Jose Mourns the Loss of a Prominent Citizen.
