There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton OF the country than all other
diseases put together, and until The
last few years was supposed to be
iDcurable. For great many years
Doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven Ca
tarrh to be constitutional disease,
ard therefore requires a constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Cararrh
Cure, manufactured by f. j. Cheney

stitntional cure now on the market.

up double its natural size. On one oc
cason the little fellow was asleep in
bed, and Mrs. Hudson went to his
room and told him that she was the
devil and had come to kill him. All
right, replied the boy.
Often she made him stand up in
front of her for hours ut q time when
she was at work. On enc occasion,
after he had stood there for two or
three hours, she said, You hate me.
Don't you?'
No, mamma replied the boy.
That's q lie,' screamed the woman,
and l will whip you for it, and then
she gave him q terrible beating with
q piece of barrel stave that she kept
for that purpose. The boy made no
outcry. In fact, he never whimpered
or cried when she was indicting the
severest kind of punishment upon
him. At another time Mrs. Hudson
put the boys plate on the floor and
made him get down on his hands and
knees and eat from it like q dog. He
said, Mamma, can't l take some of it
in my fingers p
No. she replied. Eat it down ;
you're no better than a dog; you little

Mr.. Hudson said his wife was in
the habit of putting oil on the child's
bruises so as to prevent them from be-
coming too conspicuous. Hudson
says that since the child has been
with them he has bought not less
than fifty bottles of oil for this pur-
pose.
Colonel Hudson is now and has
been for many years employed in the
Custom House rs an entry clerk. AL
though past middle age, he is still Il
handsome man, with silky moustache
and dark hair hanging in glossy curls.
He likes good cigar and o good
story, but as rule his face wears a
sad, careworn look. Mrs. Hudson is
now in Chicago visiting relatives and
the child is with her. Mr.. Stocking,
as soon as appointed guardian, will
go after the boy Hudson appears to
be frightened of his life at the woman,

ties have finally taken action. The

A FIENDISH WOMAN.
Barbarious Treatment By a
Foster Mother.
a Little Boy Subjected to the Most
Outrageous and Inhuman Cru.
eltieS-The Husband Afraid
to Interfere.

DETROIT, Mich, July 22.--Colonel
Il. G.. Hudson is o well-knownDetroit-
er. He is entry clerk in the Custom
House here, and lives with his wife in
good style at No. 14O Locust street.
A tremendous sensation was caused
yesterday by the application of a
neighbor named Mrs. j. J. England
to the Probate Court to appoint c.
NJ. Stocking guardian OF Clarence, the
5-year-old foster child of Colonel and
Mrs Hudson. Mr. Stocking is the
agent of the Humane Society, and the
proceedings were taken on the advice
of the society. Mrs Hudson is charg-
ed with the most inhuman treatment
of the child.
The story of her brutality is q mar
rative that would be incredible if not
proved by the testimony of former
domestic in the Hudson family and
other eye-witnesses, including Mr..
Hudson himself, who seemed utterly
unable to prevent it. He declared
yesterday that the"pure devilishness"
of his wife rendered it impossible for
him to interfere with her torture of
the lad.
One of her favorite modes of pun
ishment, the domestic says, was to
double him up with his head between
his legs, tie him in that position place
him in the bath-tub and then turn the
water on him. Ifhe kicked or squirm-
ed she would take him out and beat
him until his back was black and blue.
Another method OF. punishment was
to tic his hands behind his head and
place him in dark cellar, where she
would keep him for hours at time.
If the boy told Mr.. Hudson when he
came home of what had occurred Mrs.
Hudson would give him worse pun
ishment the next day. The boy was
on several different occasions made to
stand in the corner of the room with
his face pushed up against the wal
for hours al time. Mrs Hudson
would sit where she could see him, and
every once in while would call out,
Push harder; l can tell when you are
not pressing hard, and the suffering
child wQsld push so hard that his
nose would be almost fattened out
Another method of torture was tt
make the boy bite his own tongue
and Mrs. Hudson would compel hin
to do this until his tongue would swell
