it. ia rather strange. Mrs. Moore, wife OF
Justice Charles f. Moore. residing at No.

midnight, Justice Moore, who had remained
at his home. was aroused from his sleep by
n knocking at the front door. He went
down stairs. opened the door. and was as
tonishcd to find his son Willie standing in
the doorway, apparently asleep. Without
disturbing him. he allowed the lad 10 30 up

TO BUYERS OF WATCHES EVERYWHERE

The greater part Of the jewellers of the United
States keep Waltham Watches, and cordially
recommend them to their customers, nOiwith-
standing the fact that less profit Is made these
watches than on any others generally sold by the
trade. The reason Of this l., that the reputation
Of the Waltham Watch renders II an easy sale,
and the result is. that, although the dealer does
not make much money on each individual
is still the gainer through larger and LvsIeT
sales. There some, however, among the trade,
who do not give the Waltham Watch that hearty
support which IL deserves. This portion OF the
trade fancy there is more money 10 BE- made by
dealing in watches about which the public "
norant, and in which there Is less competition
and are content 10 make occasional sale Of
dealers who, when asked about walihan
Watches, use that kind of language which l..adz
the customer finally 90 buy just such watch A.
is the most profitable for the dealer 20 sell.
For the information Of persons about 20 buy

gestions:
Since the manufacture Of watches Wa initiated

about 90 watches. In every town and VII

alarmed and ran away. An obstruction
in the street overturned the carriage,
and both Mr.. Harper and his daughter
were thrown ON the pavement. He was
taken to st. Luke's Hospital, near BY,
where he was constantly attended by DR.
Hull and the other physicians. His
principal injury was severe confusion
above the left eye. He remained uncon-
scious from the occurrence of the acct
dent up to the time of his death, with the
exception of two or three moments, about
10 o'clock on the morning prior to his
death, when he seemed to revive little
and, turning over on his bed, recognized
two relatives standing at his side. He
soon relapsed into inconsistencies, and
expired at quarter past seven in the
evening.
