ERS'
FRIEND
MAKES CHILDBIRTH EASY.

The time has come at last
when the terrible agony incident
TO this very critical period in
wOman's life can be avoided. A
distinguished physician, W b o
passed the greatest portion of
his life (forty-four years. in this
branch Of practice, left to child
bearing woman this priceless
legacy and life-saving appliance,
THE MOTHERS FRIEND"
and to-day there are thousands
OF the best women in our land
who, having used this wonderful
remedy before confinement, rise
up and call his name blessed.
We receive let ers from every
section of the country thanking
MS for placing this preparation in
the reach of suffering woman.
One party from North Carolina
writes us that abe would like to
thank the prOprletOrs on her
knees for bringing it to her no.
tice, as in q previous confine-
ment she had two doctors, and
they were compelled to nse chic
reform, insLruments, etc, and
she suffered almost death but
this time she used "MOTHERS'
FRIEND" and her labor was
short, quick, and almost like
magic. Now, why should wo-
man suffer when she can avoid it7
We can prove all we claim by
h0in0 Witnesses, and anyone in
terested can call, or have their
husbands do so, at our office, and
see the original letters, which we
cannot publish.

General Mcmahon Confident That the
Democrats VIII Be Victorious.
WARRINGTON, Sept. 6.--Gep. Martin j
Mcmahon, United States Marshal for the
southern district OF New York, who is in
the city on Official business, has been IN
terviewed on the political situation in
New York. He cOnfesses that he has no
idea who the Democratic candidate for
governor will be, but he IL sure he Will be
elected. He says: "The masses Of the
people are In hearty sympathy with the
President. They see he has fulfilled every
pledge he made I'm his letter Of acceptance
aud his inaugural address. OF course
there are many persons who are disap-
pointed IN their expectations for ofil0e
for themselves or friends, and they
may be- lukewarm In the campaign, but
they will vote the ticket. The lndepen-
dents, or, M they are called, the Mug
wumps, will also vote the ticket, / think.
The first year Of a new administration,
even where the executive authority Is
merely merged from one set OF men 10
another set OF the same political faith, Il
always characterized by more or less
dissatisfaction, due 10 personal dissap-
pointments. and IL would be surprising II
MI. Cleveland's first year had not sOme-
thing OF this sort 90 characterize u, when
his Inauguration CHANGED the administra-
ton OF politics az well as persona. lie

promise, and the little dissatisfaction that
now exists will soon wear away. 10 Will
have no effect in New York and our
ticket will be elected without doubt"

Mother and Another woman
Last evening the screams forhelp emlnat-
ing from a house on the corner OF Washlng-
ton and Sixth avenue north attracted the
attention of the neighbors and two ladies'
ran and summoned the police. Two oncerS
were dispatched by Lieut.. DAILY, and tney
arrived upon the scene none TOO quick.
They found the door securely locked,
: and those on the INSIDE refused
to unbar the door. Cries indicating
sconv could still be heard, and
the officers knocked upon the door. On the
floor they discovered the PROSTATE form OF
A little Girl OF ID years, and over and upon
her were two large women. One woman
was choking the girl while the other was
piving assistance in the brutal work. The
Girl was nearly insensible by this time, and
a few minutes later mnSt have been
strangled but for the timely appearance ofthe
police. 1t was after desperate struggle that
the woman's tiiendish grip was relaxed and
the child freed. A young man mte1ered
and he together with the two women were
arrested.
THE Girl. STATES
that her name is Jenny Thompson. and that
one of the women who assaulted her is her
mother. a washwoman, and the other is Mrs.
Fisher. who wants room from Mrs.
Thompson. The girl was unable to give
any reason fer the assault. She says she
is employed as domestic by Mrs. Wilcox
son, residing on Sixth avenue north. The
mother, however. who was under the in
fluence of liquor, says the girl was way
ward and that two young men who had
become enamored of the girl had just been
fighting to determine which was to have
possession of her. This allegation the girl
denies Indignantly, but acknowledges that
there was a fight, although she assumed to
be ignorant of the cause OF the melee. The
officers who made the arrest were scarcely
a block away when the fight between the
young men was renewed, and Lieut.. Buer-
forming and Officer Howard were called, but
they did not arrive in time to apprehend
the fighters, who took to their heels and
made good their escape.
