Claflin) gave a dinner here to-night. in honor of the Boer commanders now in London. - Generals De Wet, Botha and Délarey were not present, but Lady Cook’s guests - included General’ Malan, Sir Hiram Maxim. The failure of Gen- erals De Wet, Botha and Delarey to at- tend the dinner is supposed to be con- nected with quarrels which have arisen between them. They were all sight-see- ing in London to-day and up to the last moment they were expected at Lady Cook’s. It is rumored that/ General De Wet wants the tour of the generals, including the trip to the United States, to be aban- doned and that all three are disappointed with the-financial results so far obtained. General Botha, however, is sald to be anxious to make a further effort to col- lect funds. A warm discussion on this point is believed to have occurred between Generals De Wet and Botna; General De- larey is sald to have remained neutral in the matter. General De Wet's presence is considered -necessary for the success of the tour and if he persists in return- ing to South Africa it is likely that the whole\tour will be abandoned.

Reiff -presented his case to Consul General Gowdy and also employed a lawyer. Official action in the matter has not been taken.

The eruption began on September 7 when five large openings or craters form- ed on the north side of the volcano, from which large quantities of lava and burn- ing stones were ejected. People living in the town of Izalco and the "neighboring country, toward which the lava poured, fled at its approach and believe that their houses were completely!| destroyed. The stream of lava, which was very deep, flowed a distance of ten myjles from the crater. Lake Cotepeque, which lies at the"foot of the volcano, was flooded with boiling sulphur from the principal crater. Fears are entertained of further disaster. The volcano was'still in eruption when the+ passengers left Guatémala. — e MORGAN’S T‘UBE SCHEME HAS NO LEGAL STATUS House of Commons Railroad Com- mittee Decides Adversely to * the Piccadilly Bill.

About “Blood Purifiers” and Tonies. Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve and tissug in the body can be renewed in but one Way, and that s from wholesome food preperly digested. There Is no.other way and the idea that a medicine in'it- gelf can purify the blood op supply new tissues and strong nerves is ridiculous and om a par with the fol-de-rol that dyspep- sia or indigestion is a germ disedsg, or that other fallacy, that &.weak stemach which refuses to digest food can be made fo do so by irritating and inflaming the bowels by pills and cathartics. “Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure Indiges- tion, sour stomach, gas and bloating after meals, because they furnish the digestive principles which. weak. stomach lacks, and unless the deficiency of pepsin and dias- tase is supplied it is useless to attempt to cure stomach troubie by the use of “tonics,” “pills” and ‘“‘cathartics,” which have absolutely no digestive power, and their only effect is to give a temporary stimulation. One grain of the active principle in Stuart’'s Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 3000 grains of meat, eggs and similar foods, and experiments have shown that they will do this in a glass bottle at proper temperature, but, of course, are much more effective in the stomach. There is probably no remedy so uni- versally used as Stuart’s Tablets, be- cause it i3 not only the sick and ailing, but well people who use them at every meal to insure perfect digestion and assimilation of the food. People who ~ enjoy fair health Stuart’'s Tablets regularly as they take their meals, bec: e they want to keep well, prevention is bettfer than cure, and Stuart’'s Dyspepsia Tablets do both; they prevent, indigestion and they remove it where it exists. The regular use of one or two of them after meals will demon- strate their merit and efficiency better than any other argument. take TISTRY FOR THE POOR. OPEN SUNDAYS AND EVENINGS.
