Bit lota to tliolr weight, bat the grout majority
of people are thin becauto their digestion la
not perfect, their stomachs do not thoroughly
digest flesh-forming foods, thoy may not

not ylgorons enough to assimilate the food
necessary for robust health uud to keep up
their weight.
1'or all sttch, the new discovery for dys
pepsia and indigestion comesas a most wel
come addition to the lit! of meritorious
rcnu-dics. The new discovery referred to is
Httmrt's Dyspepsia Tablets, which Is nut only

Brain or the digesttvo principle In Stuart's
DyspcpsH Tablet will digest 8,000 Brains of
ilesh-foriulng food. Dr. Jennisou recently
stated that he depends altogether upon thete
tnblels for the cure of dyspepsia and stomach
troubles and that they not only cure tho In
digestion, Imtln every case a gmtiryiug In
crease In weight was noticed, not fat, but the
liionor amount of flesh for health and
symmetry. Dr. llarlandson speaks highly of
tho tablets, not only because they build up
flesh Bud euro Indigestion, but they are
absolutely safe and harmless, no roattor what

excellent not only for tho ordinary dyspeptic,
but for invalids and children.

ing Poaco Negotiations.
TO 'LAST TOR SEVENTEEN DAYS.
Moniitlmo n Mixed Commission ofOf
flcmn or SuiinrtOi" Itnuk Will Itetnb
IIhIi iv Nouli nl Z0110 liotwcoii tho Two
Armies,
Athens, May 21. An nrmlstleo be
tween the Turkish and Greek troops In
Tliessaly, to extend over a period of
17 days, was formally concluded yes
terday. The armistice agreement stipulates
that ajnlxed commission of officers of
superior rank shall establish a neutral
zone between the two armies, and that
no advance on either flank shall be
permitted. It Is understood that Tur
key wants the commission to be con
stituted of the foreign military attaches
with the two armies..
Crown Prince Constanttn, It Is said,
sent a personal appeal to the czar not
to allow the Greek army to be crushed
by a force four times greater than It
self, and as a conseauence the czar
Insisted on the armistice.
The numerous suggestions as to the
conditions of peace riaw coming In
from all quarters may be dismissed,
for the most part, as unreliable. It Is
probable that a majority are prompted
from Constantinople, with the Idea ot
sounding the powers. In all likelihood
the negotiations will be protracted.
The alacrity with which ..the sultan
consented to an armistice at the behest
of Emperor Nicholas shows his own de
sire to stop military operations, es
pecially as compliance with the request
places a great power under obligation
to Turkey in the negotiations.
A newspaper correspondent says he
learns on unquestionable authority that
the powers have agreed upon the chief
conditions of peace, namely, Indemnity
to the amount of 5,000,000, guaranteed
by a control of the Greek customs,
and the rectification of the frontier,
details aB to which have not yet been
settled.
The armistice has caused widespread
discontent among the Turkish troops
In Thessaly and Kplrus, and the mill
tary commission has ordered the most
prominent grumblers to be sent home
under escort. The priests who are
with the army have been Instructed
to preach special sermons exhorting
tho soldiery to be loyal and obedient.
An Imperial order prohibits the sale
of drawings, photographs or poetry
dealing with the war or with the ex
plolts of the commanders, the object
of the prohibition being to prevent any
Individual general becoming a popular
hero.
The former Greek consul at Candla,
who has returned here, Bays that when
the Greek troops have left the Island
delegates of the Cretan people will
meet to constitute a provisional gov
ernment and to proclaim the political
union of Crete with Greece. He adds
that Admiral Canevaro, commander of
the Italian fleet In Cretan waters, told
the Cretans that If after a time au
tonomy proved unsuccessful the Cretan
people would be free to fulfill their own
destiny.
The Austrian mall steamer Minerva,
which was raptured by Greek cruisers
and towed to Orel, has been released
but the 72 Turkish seamen and re
serves found on board her have been
detained as prisoners.
The report that fresh hostilities had
taken place Wednesday near Arta ap
pears to have grown out of an Incident
of comparatively small Importance. The
Turks, despite the existence of the
armistice, began to repair the breaches
In the walls of Fort SkafldakI, on the
Gulf of Arta, whereupon a Greek gun
boat opened fire, with the result that
the repairing was Btopped.
It is now known that when the
crown prince arrived at Lamia he had
been practically abandoned by his
army. Colonel Mastrapas .and his dl
vision had already quitted the town
directing their flight toward Alamana,
Molo and Atalantl. After vainly try
Ing to collect the remnants of his army
at Lamia the crown prince, with his
staff, went to Alamana, where another
attempt wns made to rally the fugitive
troops, liut this was only partly suc
cessful, and during the whole of Tues
day Lunila lay deserted and at the
mercy of the Turks, who, however,
made no attempt to occupy It.
ONE OF TWO WAYS.
The bladder was creatod for one purposo,
namely, a receptacle for the urino, and as
such it is not liablo toany form of diseaso ox
copt by ono of two ways. Tho first way is
from imperfect action of tho kidneys, The
second way is from careloss local treatment of
other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urino from unhealthy kidneys
is the chief cause of bladder troubles. Bo
tho womb liko tho bladder, was created for
ono purpose, and If not doctored too much
Is not liablo to weakness or diseased, except
in rare cases. It is situated back of and very
close to tho bladder, therefore any pain
disease or inconvenience manifested in tho
kldnevs. back, bladder or urinary passage is
often by mistake attributed to femalo weak
ues8 or womb trouble of some sort. The
error Is easily made and .may bo as easily
avoldod. To find out correctly, set you
urino aside for twenty-four hours; n sedi
ment or settling indicates kidnoy or bladder
trouble. Tlio mild and tbo extraordinary
ellect of Dr. Kilmer's Swanip-Iioot, tbo great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy Is soon
realized. If you need a medicine you should
have the best. At druggists fifty cento and

Hoboken. N. J., Mny 21. Twice last
nljrht fire visited Hoboken, and the lorn
Is heavy. One whole block 9 re
duced to ashes, 140 families we ren
dered homeless and a big facto: v was
destroyed. The Hoboken fire depart
ment was totally unable to cope wnn
the flames, and helo was summoned
from every portion of Hudson county.
Later In the night, when the big dry
docks at Seventeenth street caught
fire, the only hope of saving them was
from tugs called to. the scene by the
flames.
The flint fire broke out at 8:30 In the
big factory bulldlnir In the block
bounded by Thirteenth and Twelfth
streets and Washington and Hudson
streets. From the factory the flames
leaped to the apartment houses on the
block, and they were swept away.
The factory In which the Are was
first discovered was 400 feet long by
50 feet deep. It extended the full length
of the block. On the other three sides
of the block were apartment houses.
The factory was a six story building.
The apartment houses were five stories,
double, with brown stone fronts and
brick sldewalls. The factory was oc-
cupled by Strauss & Co. (R. II. Macy
& Co.), cut Klass and similar lines;
Gallagher & Palmer, toilet articles and
mirrors, and Benton & Heath, wall
paper manufacturers. There wero 14
of the double flats. Each one of the
Hat buildlims were -valued at J1B.O00.
The factory building, with Its contents.
Is estimated to have been worth over
a quarter of a million.
The fire was at llrst discovered In
the alrshaft of the factory building.
No cause for the fire Is known, but It
Is supposed that somebody dropped a
lighted cigar or cigarette In the toilet
rooms, and this smouldered In the
woodwork until It broke Into a blaze.
Bo rapid was the spread of the flames
that when the first fire apparatus ar
rived the llames had been drawn up
through the alrshaft and had broken
into the factory at every floor, and
wore rapidly traveling toward both
ends. Another alarm brought every
piece of fire apparatus In Hoboken. A
very few minutes made It plain that
the lire must travel to the apartment
houses. Then a call for-elp was sent
to the other places In Hudson dounty.
The entire department of union Hill,
"West Hoboken and "Weehawken re
sponded to the call for help, as well as
three engines from Jersey City.
Despite this big aggregation of fire
engines the flames spread with terrific
fury. The occupants of the apartment
houses saved but little of their house
hold effects. A policeman carried out
two children from one of the houses
after they had been forgotten In the
flight of the other occupants. A dying
woman was rescued from ono of the
buildings after the lire had reached the
bed clothing, but she was not harmed.
Tho glare of tho flames lit up a scone
of great excitement. The people for
blocks mound wero almost panic
stricken, and the police had great diffi
culty In keeping the frenzied tenants
from rushing back Into the flames for
valuables left behind.
The factory building was separated
from tho flats by an alleyway less than
20 feet wide In places, and It was across
this gulf that the fire leaped to at
tack the houses. The firemen first on
tho scene tried to llcht the flames
there, but the heat and smoke soon
drove them out. Then all their efforts
were directed toward saving the ad-
Joining blocks.
Mayor Fagan, of Hoboken, reached
the Bcene early and started the work
of supplying the destitute with shelter
and clothing, and at a late hour the
many families were made as com
fortable as families can who have lost
everything In the world.
The buildings destroyed belonged to
the Hoboken Land and Improvement
company. They were erected 'by John
C, Crevler, and through them he sus
tained financial loss which caused him,
about two years ago, to blow his brains
out.
About 10:30, while the big fire was
at Its worst, flro broke out In tho big
drydocks of Tletgen & Lang, at the
foot of Seventeenth street. The docks
were seriously damaged and six canal-
boats were totally destroyed.
The burning of the factory will throw
out of employment about ISO hands
directly, and many more who were
dependent In minor ways upon It for
employment.
The property loss Is estimated by
Chief Engineer Applegate, ofhe Ho
boken file department, to be $750,000,
