Mere faith will not digest your food for
you, will not give you an appetite, will not
increase your flesh and strengthen your
nerves and heart; but Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets will do these things, because they
are composed of the elements of digestion,
they contain the juices, acids and peptones
necessary to the digestion and assimilation
of all wholesome food.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
food if placed in a jar or bottle in water
heated to 98 degrees, and they will do it
much more effectively when taken into the
stomach after meals, whether you have
faith that they will or not.
They invigorate the stomach, make pure
blood and strong nerves, in the only way
that nature can do it, and that is, from
plenty of wholesome food well digested.
It is not what we eat, but what we digest,
that does us good.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
nearly all druggists at 50 cents for full
sized package, or by mail from the Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich.
As pleasing and proper is the Texas
house of representatives’ congratulatory
resolution to Hon. J. W. Bailey upon his
nomination as Democratic candidate for
speaker of the national house and ex-of-
ficio leader of his party, as the act defeat-
ing congratulations to President McKinley
-was improper and impolite. These inci-
dents should get above party feeling. The
legislature should never descend to an ex-
pression of partisanship.
There may be politics in the fight
against the insurance trust, but it is im-
possible to effect any public reform with-
out making politics of it. The financial
question was not settled until it became
a campaign issue.

WEST END SERVICES.
A large audience gathered at the West
End Methodist church, on I and 39th, at
the first service of this week. Many stood
during the service, not being able to get
seats. None need remain away on this
account, as ample provision will be made
in the future. It did Rev. T. B. Grave’s
heart good to see so full a gathering and
great things are prayed for and hoped for
in this series of meetings.
Rev. W. D. Bradfield was the speaker
last evening and announced as his theme
“The Origin and Course of Repentance.”
The truths were drawn from the parable
of the prodigal son, but the speaker chose
his text from the gospel of Mark, first
chapter and 15th verse: “Repent ye.” He
said in brief: The parable of the prodigal
son has three prominent thoughts. The
origin and course of sin, the origin and
course of repentance, the origin and course

THIS ’IS NOT KANSAS CITY.
The Rev. Mr. Sonfield seems to be an-
noyed that the Galveston newspapers
have not taken sides vigorously for or
against the crusade he is conducting
against the police administration of the
city because gambling laws are not en-
forced, and refers to The Tribune as hav-
ing made indifferent comment that did
more harm than good to the cause of law
and order. Mr. Sonfield also laments the
lack of a Kansas City Star in Galveston
to unfold the wickedness of municipal gov-
ernment.
If there is no Kansas City Star in Gal-
veston there is no Kansas City rottenness
in Galveston, and in implying the same
conditions, which call for the same sort
of newspaper warfare, Mr. Sonfield is do-
ing the city, the press and himself an in-
justice. Or, if Mr. Sonfield is right, and
such corrupt and disgraceful practices ex-
ist here as the legislative committee of
Missouri revealed in Kansas City, the
Tribune will pledge itself, if it lacks a
Kansas City Star writer, to let Mr. Son-
field write its editorials on this subject,
and will agree not to change a word of his
composition, provided he will give a bond
of indemnity against damages for action
under the libel law of Texas.
If The Tribune’s comment has been in-
different it is because nothing sufficiently
inous has been show n to provoke that
} -culiar editorial temper which Mr. Son-
ileia seems to admire so yn-urh. The Trib-
une at the outset took the ground, and it
now repeats with more -distinctness, that
the laws against professional gambling
houses can be enforced, and it would
rejoice to see gambling eradicated, but
The Tribune’s observation is that if gamb-
ling is driven from one cover it will seek
another, and hence it hasn’t a great deal
of faith in these movements that spas-
modically reform cities by closing the pro-
fessional houses and opening the club
doors.
As to police administration of the anti-
gambling laws in this city, there is no sort
of question in any well informed mind
that it could shut up the present gamb-
ling houses as tight as Dick’s hat band,
and those particular places could be
closed indefinitely. But the experience of
every city in the world is that gambling
' suppressed in one form breaks out in an-
other, and whatever the reasons the fact
remains that in the very cities that have
been lately Lexowed the man who wants
a game will find little or no difficulty in
finding it. In view of this condition
which any sane moralist or reformer will
confess, The Tribune has no hope of wit-
nessing in its life time a perfect immunity
from the gambling evil, and it tried to
say plainly at the outset of Mr. Sonfield’s
crusade that the most to be expected was
to keep the evil within bounds. The'
Tribune believes and has said that the
police department of Galveston could exer-
cise and should exercise closer scrutiny
in this and other respects. It believes, as
Mr. Sonfield says, that the present gamb-
ling houses could be closed by Saturday
, night. But if the crusade means any-
thing of permanent good it means a last-
ing suppression of the evil, and The Trib-
une has no faith that such eradication
could be effected, hence it has not grown
enthusiastic on the subject.
As to the comparison with Kansas City
and the example of other newspapers. The
Tribune holds that there is no parallel be-
tween Galveston and Kansas City which is
the case in point the minister has cited.
If The Tribune is in error, and such in-
iquity exists here in half the degree it
was shown there, The Tribune will join
Mr. Sonfield in any measure that he may
devise.

the theme of the evening: No matter what,
ideas one had of repentance, all would
agree that the prodigal repented. The
father has been condemned for giving the
boy the Opportunity io waste and squan-
der his living and so bring himself down
to such misery. The father merely gave
the son the opportunity of showing him-
self just what he (the son) was in heart.
He was a prodigal in spirit before he left
his home. So the great father permits
men to go to dire extremities that they
may kijow themselves in their true nature.
Man’s extremity has brought him to re-
pentance. Affliction, desolation, misery,
the hog-pen of dissipation and degradation
have brought many a soul to turn from
the evil way toward the Father’s house.
This son’s repentanpe had a retrospective
element in it: Memory brought before
him the home, the comfort, his own in-
gratitude, sin and wrong doing. If men
could be made to face their hearts and
past lives—every wrong act— it would
cause a revolution in their characters.
But men will not examine their lives; they
dare not; they can not afford to repent.
It would mean restitution, perhaps shame,
disgrace; but it would also mean salva-
tion. But repentance has also a pros-
pective element “I will arise and go to
my father.” This is the repentance unto
Men reach the retrospective stage,
are filled with remorse and shame, but
fail of forgiveness and salvation because
they will not arise and go to the Father.
An earnest appeal was then mads to all
who would repent to do so now; to come
to the Father and find a robe, a crown, a
fatted calf—a home. Christians were in-
vited to testify as to the truth of the
speaker’s words and many arose in re-
sponse.

The Chamber of Commerce Favors the
Principle of Condemnation.
Chamber of commerce directors filled
the rooms Saturday night in attendance
upon the adjourned special meeting to
consider the bill introduced in the legis-
lature giving railroads the right to con-
demn water front for wharfage purposes.
The meeting bad adjourned from Tuesday
night in repect to the wishes of Col. Wal-
ter Greslham, who caused th® bill to be in-
troduced, Mr. T. J. ®allinger, attorney
for the Wharf company, and Mr. J. W.
'Terry, attorney for the Santa Fe railroad,
all of whom requested to be heard.
President Courts first called upon Col.
Gres'ham, who reiad the bill and explained
its object in general to be the granting
of wharfage .Junctions to railroads. In a
particular why ..be explained that it would
enable his road, the Galveston and West-
ern, now ur.aer process of consolidation
with the La Porte line, to reach the water
front in the east end. He said it was not
ihis purpose to corklemn the Santa Fe
water front lying between 9th and 4th
streets, nor any batjt of the Wharf com-
pany’s water.,front, "but he did desire to
condemn right of way over the Wharf
company - . "'''nerty in order to reach his

liiige: -• _ed a provision against such
j eon de;'..nation. Col. Gresham contended
i ach condemnation is provided under
I jo jcher act, but its inhibition in this bill
might be construed as repealing the right
elsewhere provided. Mr. Ballinger con-
tended that such right does not exist un-
der other acts and he opposed it under
this.
After a long discussion the members be-
came convinced that the gentlemen at in-
terest could not agree upon the details of
the measure and their contention would
have to be adjourned to the legislature
and several speeches were made calling
for a simple resolution indorsing the idea
of railroads reaching the water front.
Judge Minn introduced a restitution re-
citing the modern drift of absorbing
wharf charges in railway and steamship
charges and indorsing the Gresham bill.
This was quite stoutly opposed and Judge
Mann amended his resolution to read “a
bill” instead of “the bill,” but no agree-
ment could be effected.
Mr. B. Adoue then introduced a resolu-
tion as follows:
“That the Galveston chamber of com-
merce favor a bill whidh will 'authorize
railroad companies to condemn property
for wharf purposes.”
This was quickly accepted by Col.
Gresham and as quickly opposed by Mr.
Ballinger, who desired to amend by add-
ing “with proper restrictions.” Mr. Adoue
yielded the point, but his original resolu-
tion was offered by Judge Mann and Mr.
Ballinger formally offered his amend-
ment. That amendment and another .ex-
empting the Galveston wharf company in
specific terms were tabled and the original
Adoue resolution was adopted by a vote
of 18 to 11.

A New Device Devised by E. C. Warren of
Iowa.
It is well known to every mechanical en-
gineer that the great and pressing de-
mand of the times, in the mechanical
world, is for a new ferm of steam engine,
in which economy and durability shall be
compactness, lightness,
1 ease of manipulation, as
ty of design and cheapness
Nervous
People often wonder why their nerves are
so weak; why they get tired so easily;
why they start at every slight but
sudden sound; why they do not sleep
naturally; why they have frequent
headaches, indigestion and nervous
Dyspepsia
The explanation is simple. It is found in
that impure blood which is contin-
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead of the elements of strength and
vigor. In such condition opiate and
nerve compounds simply deaden and
do not cure. Hood’s Sarsaparilla feeds
the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives
natural sleep, perfect digestion, is the
true remedy for all nervous troubles.

Sarsaparilla
Is the One True Blood Purifier. $1 per bottle.

If any man thinks there is no Insurance
trust in this state, let him make separate
application to a dozen companies and see
how they stand together in naming the
rate.—Galveston Tribune.
The Tribune must be off in its reckon-
ing. Only a day or two ago the Gal.-Dal.
News informed the people of Texas that
this little arrangement between the in-
surance companies ^s not a trust; that it
is simply an adjustment of rates on scien-
tific principles for convenience, cheap-
ness, etc. Of course this fixes the legal or
commercial identity of the thing, because
if it really were a trust the Newses would
not have jumped forth with their elaborate
defense. Those papers are the undying
enemies of trusts, don’t you understand,
and with Spartan firmness propose to do
battle for the people whenever or wher-
ever they are hampered or bled by these
illegal combines.
Yes, The Tribune must be mistaken.
This is not a trust. The Newses have
said a.s much, and the people are here to
be convinced. In fact, they will the more
readily dissent from The Tribune’s con-
clusions in the light of the News’ vehe-
mently antagonistic expressions of about a
week ago concerning trusts generally.
Another element in conclusion in this
connection is the strong circumstantial
proof, so promptly adduced by the News,
that Attorney General Crane has merely
taken advantage of existing conditions to
trump up a groundless charge against
some innocent business men as a means
of putting himself before the people as a
candidate for governor. This no doubt
furnishes a correct analysis of the con-
tents of the cocoanut. Mr. Crane is the
real culprit, a.s it turns out, and the Post
would suggest that a suit for libel, or
slander, or falsification of the records
might be brought against the Austin
official; or he might be impeached from
office on the ground of flagrant incompe-
tency, in that he does not know the dif-
ference between a trust formed in de-
fiance of the laws of the state and a
scientific business arrangement, planned,
as the News so pertinently testifies, in
the interest of the patrons of insurance
companies.

' e inventors of both Europe
"■'"i have been trying to meet
this denianu and their efforts have been
invariably directed to the construction of
what is known as the “rotary” form of
engine. It. is needless to say that their
attempts have universally resulted in fail-
ure; for, had they succeeded in producing
a practicable engine of this type, it must
have quickly demonstrated its merit and
have rapidly supplemented the old form of
reciprocating engine.
It has remained for an Iowa mechanic,
E. C. Warren of Iowa, now in Galveston,
to perceive and apply a new principle and
to design an entirely new form of engine,
which combines the advantages of the or-
dinary form with the direct application of
the “rotary” type. His success has been
due, not to accident, but to a careful and
thorough study of the subject, directed
along .rational and scientific lines. The
new engine has been designed in strict ac-
cordance. with well known mechanical
laws, and- has been pronounced by a num-
ber of expert - engineers to be perfectly
practicable in every detail. Among those
who have examined the plans and investi-
gated the merits of this engine may be
named Mr. C. P. Young, manager and
chief engineer of the Galveston city street
railway company. Mr. Young authorizes
the statement that he not only believes
this engine to be a practical success, me-
chanically, but that he considers that in
its development there is a splendid field
for investment, and that the time is fully
ripe for the prosecution of the work of
placing it upon the market.
Mr. Young is well known in Galveston
and his 26 years of experience with all
kinds of engines and motors, both in Eu-
rope and the United States, renders his
opinion highly valuable.
As regards the field of usefulness to
which this engine is especially adapted,
it may be safely and confidently asserted
that in any possible situation where the
ordinary form of engine may be employed,
the new form will far more fully and
economically meet the demand. Yet, even
were this not the case, there is still one
particular duty for which this new engine
is so eminently adapted that, were it used
for but this one purpose alone, it must
prove an unqualified success.
The engine has been designed with espe-
cial regard to the requirements of elec-
tric light and power production, and the
designer claims a clear saving of more
than 100 per cent over the most improved
modern crank engine.
For running' small dynamos in isolated
situations, such as on board steamships,
in hotels and residences remote from a
power house, in small factories, ice plants,
on plantations, etc., this engine especially
recommends itself by its small size, com-
pactness, great economy and automatic
action. The new engine is also adapted
to locomotive and marine work.
The originator of this engine is now in
Galveston and is inviting the co-operation
of capitalists in the work of introducing
the invention and putting it upon the
market.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING.
New York, N. Y., March 15.—The Rev.
Dr. Lyman Abbott in Plymouth church,
Brooklyn, last nig'ht pr'eadhed a sermon
summarizing his recent lectures on the
Bible, in which he stated that many of
the books in the Old Testament were col-
lections of traditions and parables.
“Biblical scholars,” said Dr. Abbott,
“may be divided into two classes and
they approach the Bible from widely dif-
ferent directions. First, there is the tra-
ditional or historical school of critics,
whom I will call traditionalists. Second,
tlhere is the scientific or literary school,
whom I shall call scientiflcs. The tra-
ditionalist says: ‘Christ and his disciples
did not set the Old Testament aside.’ He
did not undertake to do so. That was not
his mission. He refers to the books of
the Old Testament, but passes by the
question of their authorship. He does not
vouch for their authorship. Sometimes
Christ quoted portions of the Old Testa-
ment against the rabbis.
“I should not In the least hesitate,, here
in this pulpit, to say ‘Aesop’s fables give
you such and such a story,’ although I
would well know scholars hold that Aesop
did not wirite .all the fables, but collected
them. 'So Christ, in quoting from or re-
ferring to the books of the Old Testament
merely used t)he names 'given to them by
tradition.
“When the scientist finds in the Bible a
story which if he found in Greek litera-
ture he would unhesitatingly call folk lore,
he also calls that Bible story folk lore. If
he finds in the Bible a tale of wondrous
adventure like ‘Jonah and the Whale,’
which seems plainly to be simply irration-
al and imaginative, he calls it a satirical
and imaginative tale.
“In Genesis tlhe scientists find certain
tales respecting the flood, the fall of man
and the creator. Then the scientist goes
to the Assyrian tablets, written a thou-
sand years before the time of Moses, and
he finds analogous stories of the fall, the
flood and the creator. Then he goes to
history and finds the Hebrews once dwelt
in Assyria. Hence, he draws the logical
conclusion that tlhe Hebrews borrowed
those stories from the Assyrians.
“The scientist turns to the book of law—
Leviticus—and finds signs and evidences
that the laws were not all promulgated in
one epoch, but represent a steady growth.
“The old law required sacrifices. But
the prophets decried sacrifices and the
best men were living in open disregard of
the old laws. The old law was that only
the priest could go into the holy of holies,
in the temple, but in another place the
young Samuel was described as making
his bed in the holy of holies. God himself
appeared to be disregarding his own com-
mands.
“The scientist comes to Isaiah. It is a
vexed question if Isaiah was written by
one or two or more persons. In the second
Isaiah is a ‘reference to Cyrus the Great,
and hence the scientist concludes this
part of Isaiah could not have been written
100 years before Cyrus the Great was
born.
“Spiritual contradiction also throws
light on Old Testament authorships. Now,
in the fifth chapter of Isaiah—the first
Isaiah—he calls Israel a vine that hac'
grown from no fruit and is doomed. Toil
language is easy to understand if , > ‘
is still in the holy land, but ii is !<
conquered and carried to Babylon in cap-
tivity. In the fortieth chjpo"- _ : Li
he says to Judah: ‘Comfort ye, your in-
iquities are pardoned.’ We- can etc1 ■.
stand this if Judah is actually in oao'.oiO’
in Balbylon.
“And so Isaiah is spiritually inconstant
—at least so to the sclent nts of
the Bible.
“There is nothing striking and revolu-
tionary in these res ns 1 i ntific B Jie
criticism. Some sol. v u too
little ‘bound by the m ; ..id some
have been too much be
“My own position is .i of conserva-
tism among the scientific or literary stu-
dents.
“The method of scientific criticism I
have described to you is now pursued at
Cambridge university, "England, at Oxford
and In this country at the Union theologi-
cal seminary, Yale theological school, the
theological seminary of the Free churclh,
the Episcopal divinity school at Philadel-
phia, at Cambridge, Mass., at the Auburn
Presbyterian seminary and at the Chicago
Presbyterian seminary.
“By this method of Biblical criticism It
has been found that there are in the Old
Testament 39 separate books, divided into
three classes—history, belles lettres,
prophecy or 'preaching.
“The historical books number 17 and be-
gin with Genesis. They were composed
out of pre-existing material. There are
two histories of the same events—Chron-
icles and Kings—the first giving history
ecclesiastically, the second prophetically.
In the list are two 'historical romances
set off by themselves, Ruth and Esther.
They are based on a (historic foundation,
but .are written with a free imaginary pen.
There are two books of the covenant, Ex-
odus and Deuteronomy.
“In these historical books are quota-
tions from at least 12 still more ancient
books, of which no 'Other traces now re-
main. In these historical books there is
folk lore, as for instance, the stories of
Sampson. This modern scientific investi-
gation and criticism of the Bible teaches
all the better the way to God. We have
heard, all of us, that my sermons on the
text, ‘Search the scriptures.”
Here Mr. Abbott stopped and there was
ah interval of profound silence, during
which the preacher looked straight at the
congregation and all eyes were bent on
him.
“But Christ,” tie resumed, in low, clear
heard, all of us, that sermon on the text,
‘Search the scriptures.’ ”
