MEETING OF ZEMSTVOS.
Considered Document Resinned for
Welfare of RumkU,
St. Petersburg, Nov. 19. —The meet
ing of representatives of the zemst
vos, which had been looked forward
to with so much hope, was held this
afternoon at a private residence in
this city, but at the last moment the
government withdrew the official aus
pices under which it was to be held,
because the representatives declined to
adhere to the original purpose of the
conference. A hundred earnest men,
included among whom were some of
the most prominent figures in Russia,
therefore, met and discussed the pro
posed memorandum, embodying a rec
ommendation for a national represen
tative body to have a share in the gov
ernment. This memorandum will be
presented to Emperor Nicholas.
Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky, the Minis
ter of the Interior, guaranteed the
meeting protection from police inter
ference, but secrecy was maintained as
to the place of meeting, and this effec
tually prevented demonstrations which
had been announced would be made by
students.
The memorandum includes ten sec
tions. of which seven were indorsed
Bt to-day’s meeting. The remainder,
it is expected, will be approved at a
meeting to be held to-morrow.
The document, which is bound to
hold a conspicuous place in Russian
history, declares that the "abnormal
conditions in Russia are the
result of the complete estrange
ment of the government and
people, due to the absence of essential,
requisite mutual confidence;” also de
clares that the conditions necessitate
freedom of conscience, speech and
press and of meeting and association,
and asserts that the peasants must
toe placed on an equality with the other
classes.
The articles still enacted upon de
clare that It is imperatively necessary
that there be national representation
based on an elective principle for the
settlement of questions between the
government and people.

WALLINE IN CONVICT GARB.
Atlanta's Baseball Coach In Gress’
Camp.
Tlfton, Ga„ Nov. 19.—A. A. Walline
of Atlanta, the young man tried for
the murder of Brett, an Atlan
ta baseball coach, and convicted for
manslaughter in Fulton Superior Court
two or three weeks ago, was carried to
Gress - oonvlct camp in Mllltown, Ber
rien county, Friday morning, Nov. 1L
Walline had determined to accept his
fate manfully, and within an hour and
a half after his arrival, he had donned
his convict uniform and received his
Instructions from Capt. J. W. Mitchell
and went about his work cheerfully.
A Morning News correspondent was
at Mllltown, and while passing through
the mill met Walline. He seemed to
be glad to make new acquaintances,
but would not talk of his trouble. He
hopes to be able to show some distant
day to the Prison Board and to the
Governor that he is entitled to a par
don, and thinks that it will be grant
ed before the'expiration of his term.
Walline said that his mind had been
wandering since his arrival at the
camps, and that Wednesday was the
first day it had been clear, and that
he fully recognized his new quarters
since he had been made a convict. He
spoke in the very highest terms of
the G*resses and of Capt. Mitchell, and
remarked that while his surroundings
were humiliating and disagreeable, he
did not expect them to be like home,
and he intended fulfilling every duty
faithfully, and knew that the head of
ficers would be as lenient toward him
as possible.
Walline is confident of aid from his
friends when the application for a par
don is asked for. He claims hfs con
viction was wrong, but says he will
serve his sentence the best he can.

BEHELD AT BRUNSWICK.
Two Tickets fop Maniclpal Ofllcea

J. P. Golden for aldermen.

hard fought one, has been one of the
most friendly in the history of Bruns
wick. Not a public political meeting
has been held, no mud-throwing
through the columns of the local pa
pers has been indulged In, and alto
gether the campaign has been a clean
one In every particular.
Both sides are sanguine of victory,
the friends of the two mayorallty can
didates claiming their election by 100
votes, but conservative business men,
not Identified with either political fac
tion, look for a very close fight. There
has been considerable betting on the
election, the odds slightly favoring

sub-committee of the National Mer
chant Marine Commission was in ses
sion here to-day, Senator Thomas S.
Martin presiding.
Supt. W. A. Post of the Newport
News Shipbuilding Company appeared
before the committee. Replying to
questions Mr. Post said 7,800 men were
on the pay rolls at the present time
and that the pay Toll amounted to
$65,000 to $90,000. The variation was
due to over time work.
The chairman asked If favorable
legislation were enacted at the end of
twelve months' time how many ships
could be turned out here annually. Mr.
Post said ten ships of 7,000 tons capac
ity. He could deliver three the first
year and one a month thereafter.
He said this yard should employ
10,000 men, as there were facilities for
this number. He said that all of the
shipyards in the country could turn out
from sixty to seventy ships the first
year, and as the new men that would
have to be taken on became experi
enced this number would be almost
doubled.

VALUE OF WATERWORKS
Should Re Determined, Thinks the
Master, at Columbus.
Columbus, Ga., Nov. 19. —Master In
Chancery Henry R. Goetchius to-day
filed his amended report in the Co
lumbus waterworks case. As in his
original report he finds that the con
tract between the city and the wa
terworks company should be annulled
and the city permitted to construct
works of its own.
In his first report the master rec
ommended, as a matter of equity,
that the court decree that the city
buy the available portion of the pres
ent waterworks system for $176,000,
operating it in connection with the
municipal system.
In his amended report He adheres
to his position that the city should
buy the available portions of the old
system, but does not recommend any
specific amount to be decreed as the
sum the city must pay. He recom
mends that there be another refer
ence to determine the value of the
available portion of the present sys
tem, the master to whom the matter
is referred taking testimony on this
one point.
PUTTING IT STRONG.
But Doesn’t It Look Reasonable?
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 so.
But we have long since shown that
Dvspepsia is curable, nor is it such
a difficult matter as at first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves or going to opposite ex
treme, or else deluging the already
overburdened stomach with "bitters,"
"after-dinner pills,” etc., which inva
riably increase the difficulty even if in
some cases they do give a slight, tem
porary relief. Such treatment of the
stomach simply makes matters worse.
What the stomach wants is a rest.
Now how can the stomach become
rested, recuperated and at the same
time the body nourished and sus
tained?
This is a great secret, and 'this is
also the secret of the uniform Suc
cess of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
This is a comparatively new remedy,
but its success and popularity leaves
no doubt as to its merit.
The Tablets will digest the food
anyway, regardless of condition of
stomach.
The sufferer from Dyspepsia, ac
cording to directions, is to eat an
abundance 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, be
cause, as before stated, the tablets will
digest the food even If the stomach is
wholly Inactive. To illustrate our
moaning plainly. If you take 1.800
grains of meat, eggs or ordinary food
and place it in a temperature of 98
degrees, and put with It one of Stu
art’s Dyspepsia Tablets it will digest
the meat or eggs almost as perfectly
as If the meat was inclosed within
the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak,
yet these tablets will perform the
work of digestion and the body and
brain will be properly nourished, and
at the same time a radical, lasting
cure of Dyspepsia will be made be
cause the much-abused stomach will
be given, to some extent, a much
needed rest. lour druggist will tell
you that of all the many remedies ad
vertised to our* Dyspepsia none of
them have given so complete and gen
eral satisfaction as Htuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, and not least in Importance
In these hard times la the fact that
they are also the cheapest and give
the most good for the least money.

OF ARMY MANEUVERS.
Chief Dmplre Discusses Those Held
at Manassas.
, New York, Nov. 19.—A special meet
ing of the military service institu

to-night at the Seventh Regiment Ar
mory. Col. Arthur L. Wagner, who
was the chief umpire at the nfaneuvers
held In Manassas in September, read a
paper on “Joint Maneuvers of the Reg
ular Army and National Guard,” in
which he gave the result of his ex
perience and nfa.de several recommen
dations for future maneuvers, which,
would, he believed, tend to Increase
their value to the officers and men.
“At Manassas,” he said, "there were
fifty-one umpires at headquarters be
tween the two forces and twenty-four
with each body. This, however, many
it might seem, w*as not enough, for
often an umpire would be required to
pass Judgment on a situation which he
had not witnessed, or had only arriv
ed in time to see the culmination of.
One umpire to each regiment is posi
tively needed,” he said, "and each um
pire, who should be an officer not be
low the rank of captain, should be
provided with a mounted orderly."
“The question arises as to whether
■these maneuvers pay," said the speak
er in conclusion. "In answer, I say
that there are many tilings which can
not be learned from books, but where
hard practical field experience Is the
only teacher of value. If all of the of
ficers of the Spanish-American War
had had practical lessons in camp san
itation, such as these nfaneuvers give,
there would have been less loss of life.
The higher officers particularly are
benefited, for the greatest loss of life
in war does not arise from lack of
courage, but from officers finding them
selves in anew and novel situation."

War Correspondent Recommends
Pe-ru-na.
MR- F. B. RICHARDS, 602 E St
*N. W„ Washington, D. C„ War
Correspondent, writes:
"Exactly six years ago I was ordered
to Cuba as staff correspondent of the
New York Sun. I was in charge of a
Sun dispatch boat through the Span-
Ish-American war. The effect of the
tropical climate and the nervous
strain showed plainly on my return to
the States.
Lassitude, depression to the verge
of melancholia, and incessant kidney
trouble made me practically an In
valid. This undesirable condition con
tinued, despite the best of treatment.
"Finally a brother newpaper man
who like myself had served in the
war, induced me to give a faithful
trial to Peruna. I did so.
“In a short time the lassitude left
me. my kidneys resumed a healthy
condition, and a complete cure was
effected. I cannot too strongly rec
ommend Peruna to those suffering
with kidney trouble.
“To-day I am able to work as hard
as at any time in my life, and the ex
aminer for a leading life insurance
company pronounced me an ’A’ risk."

Doctors Unable to Hellp Her—Cured
by Pe-ru-na.
Mr. George Forrester, 2747 Mascher
St., Philadelphia, Pa., writes:
“We have great faith in Peruna. My
wife’s condition was such that she
thought she would die, as the doctors
could not help her dyspepsia and ca
tarrh of the stomach. Now she can
eat anything.
“We keep Peruna in the house all
the time, but it is only once in a
while that she needs to use it. I was
subject to liver and kidney trouble,
which resulted in rheumatic pains, but
I have not had a pain since I took
Peruna, and very little liver trouble.as
Peruna keeps the digestive organs in
good working order, and that is the
main thing.”—George Forrester.
Catarrh of the Kidneys a Common
Disease.
Catarrh of the kidneys is very com
mon indeed. It is a pity this fact is
not better known to the physicians as
well as to the people.
People have kidney disease. They
take some diuretic, hoping to get bet
ter. They never once think of catarrh.
Kidney disease and catarrh are sel
dom associated in the minds of the
people, and alas it is not very often
associated in the mindsof the physi
cians. Too few physicians recognize
catarrh of the kidneys.
Peruna is not simply a palliative to
relieve some of the most distressing
symptoms. It is a permanent and
radical cure.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Pe
runa, write at once to Dr. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case,
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.
Address Dr. Hartman, President of
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio.
WAS THIS VENDETTA?
Police Suspect Deadly Hatred Was
Carried Into t Hospital.
New York, Nov. 19.—When most of
the nurses and attendants in the Co
lumbus Hospital in this city were at
tending vesper service early this even
ing, Guisseppe Alizea, 52 years old, a
patient who was under examination as
to his sanity, stabbed Allio Salvatore,
another patient, over the heart. Sal
vatore was rescued from his assail
ant and was hurried to the operating
room. It is feared he cannot recover.
Alizea kept the physicians and
nurses at bay for some time and was
at last subdued by the police. He
was locked up, charged with felonious
assault.
The hospital officials believed that
AHzea’s ailment was imaginary and
intended to discharge him. The police
say that Alizea may have become a
patient in the hospital for the purpose
of settling an old feud existing be
tween the men.
REPORTED CHAPELLE
HAS BEEN REMOVED
From the Apostolic Delegation In
the West Indies.
Rome, Nov. 19. —Partly to satisfy
the wishes of Archbishop Chapelle of
New Orleans, the apostolic delegate for
Cuba and Porto Rico, and partly be
cause of complaints received from the
arch diocese of New Orleans, owing to
his unavoidable absences, the Vati
can may soon relieve the Archbishop
from the apostolic delegation in the
Antilles in order that he may devote
his entire time to his arch diocese.
It is asserted that most probably
Mgr. Broderick, auxiliary Bishop of
Havana, will not return to Cuba.
Archbishop Denies It.
New Orleans, Nov. 19.—Archbishop
Chapelle was shown the Associated
Press dispatch from Rome, implying
that he would be relieved from his
apostolic duties in Porto Rico and
Cuba In order to devote his whole time
to the duties of the archbishopric of
New Orleans. Mgr. Chapelle said:
“There is no foundation whatever
for this report. I have Just return
ed from Rome. No complaint has ever
reached me of dissatisfaction because
of my absence from time to time in
the Antilles and my people have sent
no such reports to the throne in Rome.
There is to be no change of my Ju
risdiction. If there was to be I should
know it. since I was at the Vatican
only a few weeks ago.”

a few words, which are said to be en
tirely unimportant.
