The Nation, he said, could be no better than the individuals who composed It, and, if we wished for a strong and progressive Nation, we must cultivate strength and individuality among our citizens. He referred to his now famous letter on "Race Suicide," stating that while the let ter had attracted more attention than he Imagined It would, yet he was glad of It. He reaffirmed In strong terms the senti ment be had therein expressed and be lieved that the discussion which had been started would have a marked effect upon the race. We were, he said, by the amal gamation of foreign nationalities, the In termarriage of the sturdy forcjgn immi grants who had sought our shores, evolv ing a new race the American. He referred to the great sums being spent by the Western States In the educa tion of Young America, and commended It, but added that this public school edu cation must be supplemented by the edu cation of the home. Home influences counted for much. No matter how much a father might seek to instill wise pre cepts Into the mind ot his child. It he did not re-enforce these precepts with his own good example, be could not expect his children to become good citizens. Fur thermore, we must not allow our chil dren to be reared In the lap of luxury. Put them out In the world to struggle for themselves and thus gain an education In the rough school of experience that will teach them to be strong, to be Independ ent and to be manly. Maintain a high standard of individuality and science and the Nation will never deteriorate.

PEACE ON THE WABASH COIIPATT COXCEDES DEXATD9 OF EMPLOYES. Advance of Wacea Given Trainmen, Conductors, Firemen and Yardmen Better Conditions of Work, ST. LOUIS. April 4. After four months ot controversy between the employes ot (he Wabash road and the officials of that ystem, during which, at one time a strike was imminent and was only prevented by an Injunction restraining the employes from vacating their position, which In junction was dissolved last Wednesday, the differences were finally adjusted and the controversy cffectuil.y and satisfac torily settled this evening. The officials or the brotherhoods representing the em ployes declare, the cettkment is eminently satisfactory and Is a sweeping victory for organized labor. The Wabash officials declare that all differences with the em. ployes have been finally terminated In a satisfactory manner, and that their .fu ture relations In ail probability will be most, narmjaious. Following are the main-points embraced in the settlement: Twelve per cent increase for conduc tors, brakemcn and baggagemen in the passenger service, and 15 per cent for conductors and brakemen In the freight service, over tilt rates which existed Jan uary 1, IhB. west of .the Mississippi River. For the firemen, increases Were grant- ed cm th f?anaritcn itn in nfvM-rinnr with the Canada Southern division of the Michigan Central. TJn "the lines In the lne rew lork navy-yard, upon the eject United States material increases and tm- pent from that yard yesterday of a walk. proveraent in the working conditions were , granted the firemen. East ot the Missis sippi River the rates will be brought up to this same .standard, when competing lines in the same territory grant similar increases. The various- yardmen receive a substantial increase, varying in differ ent localities. ! There Is an entire revision of rules ap plying to all classes of train service. This was the main bone ot contention, and was granttd in its entirety. Ever since the Injunction was dissolved last Wednesday morning the counsel for both sides have been In almost continu ous conference, and every -effort was put forth to reach an amicable settlement. Both sides have displayed the greatest fairness In considering these differences, and both were anxious from the start to reach a final conclusion without radical action. All ot the day was occupied In conference, and at S o'clock the matter was practically settled, and it remained only for the signatures to be affixed to officially terminate the trouble. By 8 o'clock tonight the papers had been signed and the' Wabash wage controversy was at an end. Just prior to the dissolution of the In junction, the issuance of which be was largely Instrumental in obtaining. Presi dent Ramsay was called to Cairo, Egypt, to the bedside of bis daughter, who is ill. During his absence H. W. Ashley has been -acting head of the eystem. Mr. Ash ley said tonight: . "The settlement is entirely satisfactory to the Wabash Railroad Company ex cept In a few unimportant details, but they were not of enough moment to cause a delay In-coming to an agreement. There is now no reason why the relations be tween the Wabash Company and Its em ployes should not be perfectly harmo nious." Grand Master Hannahan. of the firemen, said tonight: "The result of this controversy and set tlement has unquestionably elevated labor to a higher plane in the business world than any other controversy that has ever taken place during the existence vt rail road organizations. 1 am! glad we were able to adjust our differences without re sorting to forcible means." Vice-Grand Master W. G. Lee. of tne Trainmen's Union: This is unquestionably one of the greatest victories that labor has ever won. and. while our committees have been compelled to stay here several months, they feel fully repaid. This set tlement proves conclusively mat cooi. calm deliberation will accomplish more than radical action." Grand Master Hannahan will leave to morrow for Chicago to meet the -grievance committee ot the Illinois Central firemen. Vice-Grand Master Lee will leave to morrow for Dcwer to confer with the grievance committee ot the trainmen, of the Colorado Midland ana Colorado ana Southern roads. One of- the points which the employes scored waa the acknowledgment that the Illinois Central and the Chicago & Alton were competing lines. This had been previously denied by President Ramsey. Tne discontinuance of the double-header system is another point. STRIKE AT XAVY-YARD. Work on the Connectlcst Stopped and Walking Delegate Expelled. NEW YORK. April 4.

No man is stronger than his stomach. If the proper elements in the food are not taken up by the blood in the stomach and earned to the vital organs of the body, one's health breaks down and one leaves the gates open for the entrance of disease germs. The germs of typhoid fever, grip, malaria, pneumonia and consumption cannot pass tnrougn tne stomacn into tne intestines, where alone thev are eatable of coiner unless the stomach ha3 first been weak ened by disease, indigestion, dyspepsia or errors in diet Keep the stomach healthy, the bowels regulated and the blood pure and rich and your body is a stronghold against which the srerms of disease cannot make a successful astjcV. t a : i j 2fi 9 ILUpUtC UiU JUU BIC sometimes pale or have the other si ens of bad blood, such as pimples, boils and eruptions, you aaoma at once take warn ing. NA.TTOB THE PHYSICIAN. Nature is the real physician in such cases, for Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., years ago discovered that certain herbs and roots made into an extract, without the use of alcohol, was the very best means of outtintr the stom ach, blood and vital organs into prop er condition. His Dr. Pierce's Gold en Medical Discovery helps the as similation of the food in the stomach, assists the blood in taking up the proper elements from the food, helps the liver into activity, thereby throwing out the poisons in the blood and vitalizing the whole system. This assimilation helps in the oxidation of the red blood cor puscles, the poisons in the system are eliminated, the heart gets the right kind of blood and the person feels invigorated and stronger in consequence. As a tis sue .builder it is far preferable to cod liver oil or any alcoholic compounds or tonics, because it gives the blood and the tissues the food elements thev re quire and maintains a person's nutrition by enabling him to eat, retain, digest and assimilate nutritious food. ' It over comes the gastric irritability and symp toms of indigestion. Because of the good effects from using Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery upon nutri tion and tne building up of tne tissues, catarrh, consumption, weakness or de bility and symptoms of fever, night sweats, headaches, etc., disappear. TRS CTTsXN OP LIFE. Tttch of the chief organs of the bodv Is a link in the chain of life. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, the body no stronger than its weakest or gan. If there is weakness of heart or lungs, liver or kidneys, there is a weak link in tne cnatn ot me -wnicn may snap at any time. Often this so-called "weakness" is caused by lack of nutri tion, the result of disease of the stomach. Diseases of the stomach and its allied organs are cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. When the diseased stomach is cured, diseases of other organs which seem re mote from the stomach, but which have their origin in a diseased condition of the stomach and other organs of diges tion and nutrition, are cured also. THE PARMER FAILS In health just as does the city-man, and he fails commonly from the same cause, "stomach trouble." The farm is a wholesome place to live; the farmer's life Is a healthv life: but no external advantages can overcome the effects of a diseased stomacn. When tie stomacn and its allied organs of digestion and nutrition are diseased, the food eaten is Catholics In the British Empire, especially in Ireland and Canada, the Kins will not come to Rome without trying to see the Pope, as otherwise If would appear to be an Intentional offense. Anticipating the King's visit there is now an element at the Vatican advocating a deiatlon from the ceremonial established at the time of Emperor William's first visit, by allowing the Kins to start from the British em bassy, where he will be met by Monslgnor Stoner, the canon of St. John's Lateran. and the highest English prelate here, who will accompany blm to the Vatican. How ever, it Is probable that the Klnp will not go to the Vatican if he comes to Rome for one day only, as it seems likely, ac cording to the latest Information on the subject. DEXIED BY CHAMBERLAIN.

No engineer would be mad enough ti. run by the flag which signaled danger. What the danger was he might not un derstand, but he would take no chances. It is different with the average mi oi woman. They attempt constantly ta run by the danger signals of Nature and that attempt costs thousands of Ut every year. When tie appetite become! irregular or cuuxciy gives out, wnea sleep is troubled and broken, when then is loss of flesh, when there is a constant feeling of dullness and languor. Nature is hoisting the danger signal; The stomach audits allied organs are failing in their work and the body is losing the nutritition on which its strength depends. Such a condition calls for the oromct use ofDr.Plerce's Golden Medical Discovery. A $3-000 FORFEIT Will be paid by the World's Dispensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, N.
