New HaItham Movement.
Offer No, 297.

A 5000 solid gold Watch cannot be bought
for $40, but THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
offers Watch under the above number that
has all the appearance and most of the
good qualities of $500 Watch. You have
never seen a Watch like this, and Your
ieweler has not either, although the works
are familiar 20 any jeweler, SO that in case
Of accident there would be no trouble in
getting it repaired. You must therefore
depend upon us for the description OF the
latest, handsomcst, and best Watch made
by the great American Waltham Watch
Factory. Time and money have been liter
ally squandered in bringing this particular
Watch 20 perfection. The movement Tor
works. is made according TO the celebrated
Waltham Riverside model, in which the two
nickel winding wheels are plainly seen.
The case is the thinnest filled watch-case
ever made. Remember, we mean that the
Watch when closed in the pocket is thin.
The lids Of the case are the usual thickness,
and form perfect protection for the move
ment IL will not take up much room in
the pocket. This case is made Of plate OF
fine composition metal over which two
heavy sheets Of LAX. gold are drawn, making

y case that is for all purposes as good as
solid gold, and warranted for 20 years. A
written guarantee accompanies each Watch.
Every part which is subjected to constant
wear, such rs the ring, thumb piece, joint
plugs hinges, etc, is of solid gold. The
works are especially recommended where
the most accurate time Is required. This is
just the watch for doctors, lawyers, clergy
men, POST Commanders, and all others who
wish a really tirst-class article As present
TO the Commander of your Post, it cannot
be excelled. IL is so thin and convenient in
form that il will even make a good and sat
isfactOry ladies' watch, and il is especially
recommended for schoOl-teachers and other
professional women on account OF its accu-
racy, which is equaled by no watch made
especially for ladies.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE,
But the Man Used Too Small q Re-
volver.

Yesterday afternoon the telephone called
ohicer Massure and the patrol wagon to the
Portland d Rochester station, where man
was reported to have Shot himself. Officer
Massure found the man walking up and down
the platform in an excited state, hourishing
revolver and terrorizing the crowd. Mas
sure followed him into the waiting room and
took hold of him. The fellow drew off to
strike Measure. when that officer drew the
mans arm back, as Baggage Master Cotton
seized the other arm, and handcuffed his
prisoner. He then took away from the man
revolver that was In his possession. and
brought him to the station.
The prisoner declined to give his name or
to say anything about himself, except that
ne had been drinking heavily for several
days all was tired of life. He was of good
stature, smooth face. and apparently 26 or q
years Of age. On his vest was gold badge.
marked William Fletcher, head agent, Bos-
ton. Mass. In his possession was light
leather grip, containing cheap jewelry. such
as collar studs and cuff buttons, and little
memorandum book. which gave the name of
William j. Fletcher, Boston, Mass. 1t also
contained these addresses "In Bucksport
Tuesdays and Fridays" and Lewis, Brice
& Smith, .220 and 222 Madison street, Chica-
go. ILL.," The revolver with which the man
shot himself was a Robin Hood No. /, of
perhaps 80 calibre. DR.. Addison s. Thayer,
city physician, examined the man in the
lodging room, and found he had shot himself
In the left side. little below and about an
inch to the left Of the apex of the heart. He
probed for the bullet but could not find it, so
he decided to have the patient removed to
the Maine General Hospital, where he could
perform an operation that would secure the
bullet. He did not think the wound was
sufficiently serious from his first examina.
ton to necessarily prove fatal. Rich's am
bulance was called to carry the man to the
hospital, and he insisted on walking from
the lodging room to the ambulance.
(lWhen the ambulance reached the Maine
General Hospital Ii was ascertained that the
beds were all occupied, and the patient could
not be received. He was then taken to the
Greedy Hospital. Here DIR. Thayer per-
formed an operation to find the bullet. He
ascertained that 1t had penetrated the wall
OF the chest and was probably embedded in
the lung where 1t remains. or course it is
possible that the man may ultimately die
from the wound, but at last accounts he was
very comfortable. He told Officer Webster
that II 1t should happen there was any dan
ger Of his dying he would tell him who his
people are.
