CURIOUS WINE CAVE.
lias Done Much Damage la (tic Property
of Jacob Berber,, of 2902
Frlnk Street.
A mine cave under the property of
Jneoh Farber of 2902 Frlnk Btreet, was
loportcd In Monday's Issue of The Trib
une. Yesterday a Tribune reporter vis
ited tlio scene of the cave. The Farber
property Is on tlio West mountuln
where thi vein Giant upwards and crop
out. The (list hole has Increased In
Flze to about 40 feet across nnd elgh't
feet away Is another hole, which meas
ures about 20 feet acros3. They are
unusually deep on account o the
pitching vein below.
Sir. Farber stated that a small set
tling appeared In his garden about two
weeks, ago, but the heavy rains of last
week had caused the big caving. As
near as can bo judged from the outside
each hole locates the face of a "cham
ber" worked on the pitch In the Bin
vein which "cions out" at this point.
Those chambers are connected with the
1'ilce shaft woiklnas.
.Allowing for pillars, one chamber
would come -Just underneath the rear
foundation wall of the house and the
next would take his front fence and
the roadbed of Frlnk street, should oth
er caves occur.
Mr. F.uber owns nearly an aero of
land and the double frame dwelling,
one side of which he occupies himself.
The loss of garden produce and fruit
trees, vines, etc., alone amount to sev
eral hundred dollars. The remainder
of his plot Indicates his Industry and
pride In cultivating his land. Here nnd
there fruit rees ha.ni; full with ripe
Xiult and his grape vines will yield a,
great quantity of beautiful fruit. Mr.
Faiber sold a property on Swetlnnd
street and purchased his presnt prop
city nbout a year ago. He has report
ed the trouble to the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and AVestern company ofllelals.

FOR THE BABY.
A Vnlunblo Hint to Every l'nther nnd
Mother.
Thcro nro two kinds of babies in tho
worlds tho kind who havo too llttlo nour
ishment nnd tho kind who havo too much.
Tho first kind of babies ntarvo because
their stomachs are loo weak to digest tho
amount of food necessary for their
growth nnd healthful development and
the other kind nro overfed with the result
that the delicate stomach nnd Intestines
are Inflamed nnd ns every mother knows,
thousands of Infanta dlo yearly when
warm weather begins, from stomach and
bowel disorders.
Opiates, soothing syrup and cathartics,
however mild, nro not what is demanded,
Go to tho root of tho trouble, assist the
child's digestion, give the llttlo stomach
tho nld necessary to thoroughly and
promptly digest Its food and tho llttlo
ono will thrive and grow and gladden tho
mother's henrt.
. To give perfect digestion to tho child It
Is only necessary to give in n pleasant
form tho harmless digestive contnlned In
tho well-known tablets sold In drug
stores under tho name of Stunrt's Dys
pepsia Tablets. Stunrt's Tablets contain
no so-called drugs, but are composed of
pepsin, pure aseptic, fruit acids, starch
digestives and aro put up in lozenge
form, with sugar of milk, very pleasant
to tho tasto and havo been used for years
as tho safest, best remedy for any form
of Indigestion nnd stomach troubles In
adults, but recently many remnrkablo
cures havo been mado tn tho cases of
weakly babies who failed to grow and
thrive ns they should.
A Buffalo mother a short tlmo ago who
despaired of the life of her babe was so
delighted with tho results from giving
the child these tablets that she went be
fore tho notnry public of Eric Co., N. Y.,
and made the following nflldavlt:
Gentlemen: Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
were recommended to mo for my two
months old baby, which was sick and
puny and tho doctors said was suffering
from Indigestion. I took the child to the
hospltnl, but there found no relief. A
friend mentioned the Stuart Tablets and
I procured a box from my druggist and
used only tho large sweet lozenges In tho
box and was delighted to llnd they wero
Just the thing for my baby,
I feel Justified in saying that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets saved my child's life.
Mrs. W. T. Dcthlopf.
Subscribed and sworn to before me this
12th day of April, 1S97.
Henry Karls,
Notary Public In and for Erie Co., N. Y.
For babies, no matter how young or
delicate, the tnblcts will accomplish won
ders In Increasing flesh, appetite and
growth. Use only the large sweet tablets
in every box. Full sized boxes are sold
by all druggists for 60 cents, nnd no pa
rent should neglect the use of this safo
remedy for all stomach and bowel
troubles if tho child is ailing In any way
regarding Its food or assimilation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets has been
known for years as the best preparation
for all stomach troubles whether Jn
adults or Infants.
