New York, April 19.-Ic became known today that Andrew Carnegie's niece. Nancy, was secretly married abont a year ago to a riding master named Heaver, whom she met at Newport. The story was confirmed by Mr. Carneie. "My niece was married to Mr. Heavier in New York about a year ago," he said. "Mr. Heave- was a riding teacher in the family. The family has no objection to the match. Mr. Heaver is an honest, upright young man. I would rather Nancy had married a poor, honest man than a worthless Dake. We want no rich men in the family. Mr. Carnegie said that Mr. and Mrs. Heaver went to Europe immediately after their marriage. They returned a few days ago and are now on a visit to New England.

Ninety-nine of every one hundred people who have heart trouble can remember when it was simple indiges? tion. It is a scientific fact that all cases of heart disease, not organic, are not only traceable to, but are the direct result of indi? gestion. All food taken into the stomach which fails of perfect digestion ferments and swells the stomach, puffing it up against the heart. This interferes with the action of the heart, and in *he course of time that delicate but vital organ becomes diseased. Mr. D.
