The total of 60,463 evictions ts lurger by far than that of last year or any other year in the history of the local courts. During the eviction period in Ireland, when the whole world rang. with stories of the poor turned out of their homes by landlords, there was no one year In which the number of evic- tons was one-twentleth of those in Manhattan during 1906.

Sohults quieted her, inducing her to sit down and rest. She remained quiet until about 7 o'clock when the big cor- ridor was busy with the early rising women guests of the hotel going to breakfast. Rising suddenly from her chair she shrieked: Frightened Hotel Guests, “I want my murdered brother's body!"

Mrs. Springhorn said that Mr. Den- ham began annoying her early in No- vember, He would stand in the rear window of his house, she safd, and when she appeared in her back yard would attract her attention by tapping on the window pane, When she looked up he would make suggestive moves, she said. Asked to describe what she meant the woman told a revolting story. It caused every man in the room to turn and look at the minister, who was abso- lutely composed in spite of its seri- ousness, On three other occasions, Mrs. Springhorn sald, the offense was repeated. She was afraid to tell her husband for fear he would make trou- ble, but she finally decided it was the only way she could get relief, so she had her nusband conceal himself in the yard, where she says he witnessed @ repetition of the performance. Corroboration by Husband, Springhorn corroborated his wife's story of what occurred on the Inst oc- casion, and then Mrs. Schroeder, of No. 201 West Kighty-first street, ‘was called. Mr. Denham looked surprised at the appearance of Mrs. Schroeder, who is his next-door nelghbor, Mrs, Schroeder said that two days after La- bor Day she went in her back yard to hang out clothes, when she heard tap on a window in the minister's house, She looked up and saw Mr. Denham, He made motions at her, she said, and then she discovered that he was not entirely dressed. ‘The ress of her story was identical with that ‘told by Mra, Springhorn, he other witnesses to the minister's alleged performances were not called, ag Magistrate Baker sald he had heard quite enough for one day, He adjourned the case until Monday morning. Mr. Denham refused to comment In any way on the testimony. Outside of the court he was mct by the members of hig flock, who went away with him.

An attack of Indigestion, howover slight, needs attention, Don't look upon it as a matter of little impor- tance, for neglect leads to something worse. Ripans Tabules are marvel- lous workers in cases of Indigestion. It is simply astonishing the effect a few doses of Ripans Tabules tuve on a person suffering with Dyspepsia. Dyspepsia has no place where Ripans Tabules are used. To the Dyspeptic even sunshine casts a gloom. Life is one long drawn-out day of misery. Ripans Tabules ereate a natural appetite, prepare the stomach for food, assist the digestive organs to restore thelr lost power; finally a healthy uction takes place and a permanent curo is effected. De The Road to Success Is a Public Highway, but Dyspepsia often retards individual progress. No one can do himself justice while hindered by a rebellious stomach. It racks the ner- yous system, Ripans Tabules correct the failings of the stomach, impart- ing new life to the perfunctory or- gans, and pave the way for complete assimilation of the food, Ripans Tabyles point to the quick- est, easiest and least expensive way to cure Dyspepsia or Stomach Trou- ble of whatever nature, together with Constipation if it exists, Dyspepsia is foreed from its strong- hold the moment Ripans Tabules be- gin action, | Dyspepsia cannot exist Ripans Tabules are used. sHeunere es inn single year, eon, Beart: bua, sfok ANDERSON PIANOS, $250.
