V., June 23.—The conference on Christian Education in the South, now in session here, is considered one of the most important ever held in this section of tin* country.

Northern generosity, lie said, was principally directed towards aiding the Indians and blacks. While In* would not take a cent away from these, he asked that the equally needy whites should also be remembered. Re ferring to the famous s|H*ech made here by Daniel Webster at the opening of the present Capon Springs Hotel, over fifty years ago, he drew attention to the large number of great men to which the South has given birth, and to tin* fact that up to the outbreak of the Civil War, with a comparatively scanty population, it possessed many more schools than the North.

President of the Plant Steamship Com pany. died at his home on Fifth Avenue in this city today. The first part of an athelete’s training re lates to the care of the stomach. The nour ishing quality of his food is considered. The quantity he eats is carefully weighed it and measured. It is curious that this care of the stom ach is looked upon as an ex traordinary thing only to be practiced in special circum i stances. I yr It should be every one’s care. I.ife is a struggle for the prize of success. The man who wins must take care of his stomach. It is not lack of energy or exercise that has caused so many a break down in the race. It is neglect of the stomach. Incessant dull headache aggravated by eating, flatulence, gnawing in the stomach, heartburn, acid eructations, coated tongue, bad taste in the mouth, nervousness, mental depression, sleeplessness; these are only a few of the symptoms of a weak stomach and an enfeebled condition of the digestive and nutritive functions. Not all these symptoms will be experienced at once, but any one of them means danger. “It has made a new man of me,” is the constant testimony of those who have used Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. This remarkable remedy has such a perfect control of the stomach, digestive and assim ilative organs and blood making glands that it speedily corrects the derangements which weaken them, re-establishes them in healthy working order, so that once more the whole body—blood, brain, nerves and muscles —is nourished, and built up into rugged health. Golden Medical Discovery ” contains no alcohol, whisky or other intoxicant. Its protracted use does not create a craving for stimulants. The dealer’s after the dollar and the cus tomer’s after the cure. Its the dealer with his eye on the dollar who proposes substi tution. Ret the customer keep his eye on the cure and insist on “ Golden Medical Discovery.” Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets do not gripe. They effectually cleanse the system of accu mulated impurities. jPREE BOOK^— l for weak men! W druggists. Beware of Quacks with their “l-rec lrial” swindles.
