Cholera infantum has lost its terrors since
the introduction of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. When that
remedy is used and the treatment as directed
with each bottle is followed, a cure is certain.
Mrs. Fanny Lauderdale, of Rock, Pope Co.,
H., says it cured her baby of cholera infan.
tum and she thinks saved its life. A. w.
Walter, a prominent merchant of Walters
burg, Ill, says it cured his baby boy of cholera
infantam after several other remedies had
failed. The child was SO low that "he seemed
almost beyond the aid of human hands or
reach of any medicine" but Chamberlain

him. 25 and so bottles for sale by Joseph

leather harness about his head, and the
line was fastened to an eyclet at the top Of
his head. He was TO take his position ut

line with his hands or to foul IL with his
arms or legs; neither was he permitted to
touch the sides or bottom Of the tank.
About 800 members Of the club witnessed
the trial. and the result wa "A complete
victory for the man fish. Again aud again
did the angler reel him in as far AS the
middle OF the tank. and as often did he de

weigh upward OF 100 pounds, and can gen

Last January she saw the advertisement
Of Elbpgcn for young ladies for u dramatic

New Orleans was the place, and she could
secure q position in a fine aud high toned
theRtcr, so she signed a contract 70 pay
8 per cent, on her salary while there, and
10 repay her passage money, and went ac-
cOrdinR to his directions. She hal always
been anxious TO get on the stage, AS well
a. 10 help her parents, who were poor aud
had a large family and for years before
meeting Elbogen she had worked in an up
holstery trimming establishment. Thu eN-
treme simplicity Of her story and her evil
dent Ignorance Of the worlds ways excited
much sympathy in the court.
Arrived at New Orleans she was met by
Elbogen's correspondents. who took her to
the Royal palace" and the Eden theater,"
Rnd-here she blushed and hesitated to
continue her narrative. After much ques-
tioning IL trhuspired that she was required
to dress in "A semi ballet costume and serve
wine and beer, her earnings depending on
the amount sold; that she was subjected to
personal indignities and compelled TO wit
ness in~decencics In the boxes. In "A few
days she fed from the place, and. falling
into the hands Of some charitable ladies',
was returned TO New York and 10 the care
Of the Home for Young Girls.
To this the defense made answer that she
had signed the contract with full knowl-
edge Of its contents. aud In it was a stipu-
lntion that she should sell wine" Fur.
thermore, it, was denied that any specific
promise Of salary was made, and Mr., Elbo-
gen fell back on his established character

to the jury, which very promptly convicted
Mr.. Elbogen.

New York.
There really WAS very little evidences
against her in that case. and the Lady
whose pocket was picked refused to make
any complaint so the detective WAS much
blamed at the start But when they
reached the police court he produced an
other lady, Mrs, Agnes Stevens, who testi-
fled that she lost a pocketbook on April Il,
and believed Mrs. Rayuor 20 be the thief
1t her request the accused was ordered to
take of her gloves, and then Mr.. Stevens
exclaimed; That's heri / recognize her
hands. Yes, I'm sure that is the woman
who took my pocketbook."
OF course there was a sensation and much
difference OF opinion. As Mrs ~ltayu0r's
brothers, husband and s~on-iu-law all stand
well in the business and social world. but
when the detective was pressed he brought
out the fact thai Mrs Raynor was arrested
in October, 1880. She was sentenced to one
days Imprisonment, which she served.
Mrs, RGynor was a member Of and an
ardent worker in st. James Methodist
Episcopal church, One Hundred and
Twenty-siXth street and Madison avenue,
Of which DR. James N. King was pastor.
The clergymen and scores OF his pari-hion
srs appealed to the justice for Mrs Ray
nor's discharge,

made 1t a point TO ave her span OF horses
and carriage tan opposite Mrs. Raynor's
residence To show that her friends bad not
forsRkcu her.
So IL appears that the detective had acted
on the principle OF " Once a thief always "A
thief. and had kept an occasional eye on
the woman during all these years. Mrs.
Haynor protests her innocence in both
cases, aud the opinion OF those who know
her Is divided.

first recorded arrest Was in 1871, since
which time his exploits and escapes nave

Early in 1881 he was sentenced for five
years for robbing a Providence, X. l., jew.

$4,000 by the death OF his mother, and on
his release went to Europe. There he and
"Sheeny Mike" or Michael Kurt, operated
so successfully that in two years they re
