Nervousness IS the national disease
of the American people, and is growing
at a fr1ghtful rate. The number of
deaths from this cause is appalling. In
1898 the Nerve deaths in New York City
were more than twenty times what they
were in 1873, and now mum er one-fourth
90 Of all deaths recorded. as the NOR
tuary statistics of that CITY exemplifies in
frighfuI and startling manner.
Vitalized Nerve and Blood Tonic has
proved an absolute cure for this distress
ing disease, and its wonderful results
are resounding through New England.
There appears to be no CAGE of nervous
ness, or its attendant diseases, SO hope
less but what it will permanently cure,
even after everything else has failed.
Mr.. d. C. Greeley, OF Clinton, Maine, is
prominent citizen of that town, he is
also a memb Der of the Methodist church

THE FURNITURE FRAUD CASE.
George Wakefield Traced to Knightyiile
by Boston Detective.

Months Chase-Thei Quarry Finally
Run to Earth at the Preble House
Clever Tricks on Both Sides.
The case of George Wakefield (not
Wakeland) arrested by Officer Skillings,
Thursday, on complaint of Boston
furniture firm as reported yesterday by
the PRESS, is one of much interest.
Wakefield is New York man, who
came to Boston early in March. He
there victimized four furniture firms,
viz, Jones, McDuffy & Stratton.
Goldthwait & Co., Keller & &C., and
the Paine Furniture Co. He represented
himself to be the captain of tug boat,
that was worth S6,OUO. In that way he
goods shipped to his home in Cam
bridge to the value of $500 He agreed
to pay for them on the Oath day of
March. But on the goth of March he
perpetrated clever trick. He went TO
place distant nearly five miles from
his house, there hired strange truck,
without giving his own name, to
take the goods to the Portland boat and
then shipped them here, consigned to j.
H Bodwell. He came along with them
to Portland, registering on the boat un-
der the name of George Wolf
Arrived here he hired a Deering truck
man without giving his own name to
take the goods to the house in Knight
ville
The Paine Furniture Company have
in their employ Mr.. A. A. Foster, who
acts as a private detective, and who
does nothing else but trace goods frau
dulently obtained from the firm. He
started after the alleged tug boat cap
tain in the interests of the four firms.
He traced him to this city, where he
arrived last Tuesday. He found that
there were no checks of the goods in
the hands of the boat officials. WAX
field had stolen them from the delivery
clerk.
Baked there he went to Marshal
Trickey and Officer Sikllings was de-
tailed to aidshim. They hunted for the
truckman and found him by simply in
curing of all those in the city and then
of those in Deering In this way they
10 Gated the goods on Broadway in
Knightville, and with them presumably
the man who fraudulently obtained
them. Mr. Foster went over there Thur
day forenoon. Wakefield wasn't at home,
and his wife suspected Fosters errand
as soon as she saw him. He perceived
that. he must quiet her suspicious or the
bird would fly. He was able to delude
her into believing that he simply repre-
sented the furniture firms, and had
come to make some sort of settlement
with her husband, and that it would be
the best thing for him to come to the
Preble House that evening and make
some agreement for settlement of the
case without involving the officers of the
law Wakefield snapped at the bait
and appeared at the Preble House
Thursday evening, where he was arrest
ed by Officer Skillings. He came believ-
ing that he could make some arrange
ment whereby Foster would return to
Boston and give him a chance to disap-
pear still farther with the furniture.
This is the story as told by Mr.. Foster,
just such An errand. Two years ago
he followed man to Bangor after $3.50
worth of go d.
An officer came down from Boston
yesterday and Wakefield was taken up
| to Boston last night.
