As she | climbed the stairs before her she saw in the dim and uncertain ight, pended from the transom of a door leading from the hall into a spare bed- room, the body of a man, There are no men in the household, the family comprising Mrs. Coursen This was the body of a stranger. Screaming, Mrs. Coursen ran back and threw a front window up, crying out into the ¢. Policeman Mat- thius, down the block, heard her and tan up to the house. Mrs. Courgen ¢old him of what she had seen and he mounted the stairs. As he came near the body the policeman noticed @ quiver in the limbs, and Chat convinced him the man was not dead. With his knife he hurriediy cut the body down, and by vigorous work tne suicide was revived. He was able to speak but would not. Matthius asked him who he was, vhere he lived, and why he hed tried to kill himself. But he would only shake his nead and roli his eyes. Matthiua found he was able to walk, and, with an arm locked in his, he started down the steps with lum, tntending to take him to tho police station as a prisone! He Sank Dows and Died. Halt way down the stairs tho stranger collapsed, sinking to the steps uncon- Selous, Matthius carried him down to the next floor and there again appiiled methods of resuscitation, but the sui- cide was too weak aad died while tne policeman worked over him.

They representod 226 churches and were reviewed by Mayor Low and other city officials and the principal ministers of the city, Tho church belle rang at 11 o'clock to-day and at 2.30 o'clock exercises were held in the various churches. An hour later the march began and in every principal street in Brooklyn long lines of children in gala dress were seen walking toward the meeting points for the varlous districts, The children have been practising an- and they lifted up their volces In praise. When the march was over there were Rallons of Ice cream and long rows of delicious cake to be devoured. William Berri entertained at lunch- ¢on at the Oxford Club the prom- {nent Sunday school workers of the borough, besides Mayor Low, Borough President Swanstrom, Commiselo: Greene and Judge Cleveland, of New Haven. The party then went to the re- viewing stand at Clinton and Lafayette avenues, Ata given signal the various divisioos of that, the jargest distriot, started toward the stand, meeting in the form of a great cross, Another assembing point where thonsands met was in Prospect Park, where open-air exercises wer held. a WAR AGAINST STRIKERS.

Mrs. Edward Hagaman Hall, daughter- in: aw of ex-Supreme Court Justl upled the attention of Crane {n the Hnriem Court to-day for more than an hour in an unsuccessful attempt to press a charge of hugging her servant girl, against Frederick Van Dyke, the twenty-one-year-old son of Frederick A, Van Dyke, a millionaire real estate dealer of No. 390 Broadway, and Henry A. Gross, jr, the son of the wholesale grocer, of No, 155 West One Hundred and Third street. Both young men were pale and trem- bling when led up to the bar and con- fronted by Mrs. Hall, her eight-year-old daughter Ethel and the child's nurse, Rebecca Meloney. Mrs, Hall Js a tall, Nne-looking woman and was passionater ly earnest in her charges against the young prisoners. She said that yesterday afternoon sho, her ttle girl and the nurse went to Central Park, She left the child and the nurse on a seat and went for a walk, Men Hugged the Nurse, “T had only gone a short distance,” she sald, “whon Ethel came running up to me and said: ‘Op, Mamma, two men are hugging Rebeca, and she 1s aw- fully frightened.’ Mrs. Hall said that she hurried back to the tench and found the two young men embracing Rebecca with great fer- vor despite her struggles and protes- tations, “I was just) Hall, “and y indignant," sald Mrs. nmediately made up my mind to have them punished.

OLD KIDNEY REMEDIES |Alcohol Condemns All Liquid Kidney Remedies. jKidney-Wort Tablets, the Modern Acknowledged Specific, If your kidneys are working with dif- ficulty and not filtering the blood, a true specific like Kidney-Wort Tablets will safely arouse them to healthy action. An unscrupulous, ignorant remedy, containing alcohol, as all liquid kidney remedies do, will stimulate them so vio- lently that an inflammation will be set up, and instead of being merely lazy the kidneys will become diseased. Alcohol congests the kidneys with blood and re- tards their activity. There is no alcohol in Kidney-Wort Tablets to interfere with the removal of all harmful sediment from the body. The Tablets soothe and heal the kidneys when they are irritated and inflamed. They cure the kidney diseases that make you dizzy, restless, sleepless and irri- table; that make you pass water often during the day and night; that cause rheumatism, catarrh of the bladder, pain in the back, joints and muscles; that make your head ache and cause indiges- tion, stomach and liver trouble, and a sallow, yellow complexion. Mr. Benja- min F. Shattuck, the well-known whole- sale dealer in garden produce, says of Kidney-Wort Tablets: 26 Warren Ave., Somerville, Mass., May 7, 1903. Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure to testify to the efficacy of Dr. Pettingill’s Kidney- Wort Tablets, which I have used with most beneficial effect. For a long time 1 have suffered from the Ills resulting from disordered kidneys. I was advised to try Kidney-Wort Tablets, and 1 am glad to say that I feel now “as good as new.” The relief was immediate. Yours very truly, BENJAMIN F. SHATTUCK. If there is any doubt in your mind as to your kidneys, put a small amcunt of your urine, on rising, in a bottle and let it stand twenty-four hours. If you find it milky or cloudy, if brick-dust settlings or small particles float in it, your kidneys need instant attention. No matter how many other remedies you may have tried and found useless, re- member Dr. Pettingill’s great modern remedy Kidney-Wort Tablets is as far in advance of old-fashioned liquid remedies as the modern trained surgeon is supe- rior to the ignorant travelling “bone-set- ter” of thirty years ago.
