MET HIM WITH A REVOLVER.
Cnrlo Martini Kills the MnnWho Made
nn Appointment with His Wife.
New Orleans, May 27. Another Ital
ian murder growing out of the elope
ment of a wife occurred near here to
day, but this time It was the husband
who did the killing. Otherwise the
murder was very much like the De
licto one of Sunday. Carlo Martini or,
n8 he has Anglicized his name, Charles
Martin, married In Italy some six years
ago. The wife was only 15 years old
at the time and claims that the mar
riage was forced on her. Martini being
well to do, she married him, however,
under orders from her parents, and
gave up Vincenzo Slrchla, her school
mate and sweetheart. A few months
ago Vlrjcenzo came to this country,
having grown into a handsome young
man. He visited Plaquemines and there
he found his old sweetheart.
When the husband visited New Or
leans Vincenzo persuaded Mrs. Martin
to elope with him. and, taking $3,000 of
her husband's money, he started for
New York. The husband acted quick
ly. As soon as he heard of the elope
ment he sent telegrams and caught the
couple at Monroe, La., where they were
arrested. When Martin got there his
wife declared that she had eloped in a
fit of temporary insanity, expressed
penitence, and agreed to return to him.
Yesterday ahc received a letter from
Vincenzo telling her he would reach
Plaquenrine this morning and to meet
him at the depot. The husband filled
the appointment Instead. As the train
reached the depot he sprang upon the
cars, walked up the aisle where Vin
cenzo was seated, nnd shot at him threo
times. Tha young man fell to the
floor, when Martin placed the pistol
close to the head of tho prostrate man
and killed him.
FUNNY COLLEGE BOYS.
They Disturb Class Day Exercises
with Queer Antic.
Beaver Falls, May 27. This was class
day at Geneva college, and notwith
standing that many visitors were pres
ent, including ministers and, elders,
v.hc are delegates to the synod, the
students became quite boisterous and
somra lively bcenes were enacted.
When the chapel doors were opened
a "dummy" vtas found suspended from
the calling, but this was removed be
fore the performance commenced. Dur
ing parts of the performance a per
fect pendemonlum reigned, the speak
ers' voices being drowned with whist
ling, cat calls, etc. There was at least
a bushel of beans on the. platform, 'with
cabbages a,nd onions, all being thrown
from tho gallery at the luckless per
formers who chanced to say a word
which failed to meet with the ap
proval of tho younger students.
While the show was in progress, a
second "dummy" was hoisted from the
ground on the outside of the building
Into the gallery, and by means of a
rope suspended over the heads of the
audience In tho lower hall. During the
playing of the orchestra, a string was
manipulated to cause the figure to
dance In most grotesque fashion, greet
ed with shouts of laughter. The danc
ing was continued too long, however,
as the figure shook its pantaloons loose
from the coat, and a shower of sawdust
and shavings fell upon the people be
low. The seniors took their guying in a
good natured way and there were no
personal encounters. It is intimated
that the show this afternoon may put
a quietus to class days in Geneva for
the future.

THE MARKETS.
Willi Street Review.
New York, May 27. The market was
quIteJ'etronjr for a time today, but tho
rather sensational slump In the rub

A PECULIAR FACT.
Tliousnnds of People Have Dyspepsia
in Its Worst l'orin mill Do Not
Know It.
A weak stomach Is tho cause ot about
nine-tenths of all disease, yet In most
cases the wrong thlrwr la treated and tho
true cause overlooked.
This is because a weak digestion pro
duces symptoms resembling nearly every
disease because it weakens and disturbs
the action of every nerve and organ In
the body; poor Jlgcatlon causes heart
trouble, kidney troubles, lung weakness
and especially nervous bnvik down or
nervous prostration, the nerves cannot
stand tho wear and tear unless generously
fed by well digested, wholesome food.
Keep tho digestion good and no ono nceu
fear tho approach of disease.
Mrs. II. M. Lee, of Rochtstei, N. Y
wrlts: For the sako cf suffering human
ity I want to say that from a child 1 hal
a very weak stomach, threw up my food
very often nfter eating and after a few
years nervous dyrprpsla resulted and
for more than twfinty years I have suf
fered Inexpressibly.
I tried many physicians and advertised
remedies with only temporary rellet for
nervous dyspepsia and not until I com
menced taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets last September, bIx monthB ago, havo
I been free from suffering cavsod by the
condition of my nerves and stomach; In
short, chronic nervous dyspepsia.
I havo recommended Stuart's Dysptpsla
Tablets to'many of my friends, and now I
want In a public way to say they are tho
safest, pleasantest and I bellevo surest
euro for stomach and nerve troubles. I
write my honest opinion ana I will gladly
nnswer nny letter of Inquiry at any time
nnd feel that I am, In my Bmall way, help
ing on a good cause.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is not a pat
ent medicine, but they contain only the
.fruit salts, digestive acids nnd peptones
necessary to help the weak stomach to
promptly and thoroughly digest food.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at 50 cents for full sized package
and anyone suffering from nervous dys
pepsia, sour stomach, headaches, acidity,
gases, belching, etc., will And them not
