SCARED THE SERVANTS.
'eutriloquist Charley Hartley Throws q
Fashionable New York Boarding House
Into an Uproar.

Those who know Charlie Hartley
VIII not be surprised at reading the fol-
lowing episodes, for which he was re-
sponsible, lately in one of New York
city's fashionable boarding houses:
Scene, 251 West Twenty-flrst street.
A warm night; the servants quietly
chatting in the large dining room while
completing arrangements for the NOR
row. They were, by name: Barney,
the colored waiter; and Sarah, Katie
and Lizzie, the domestics.
Fuuly equipped with the fine bird
shot, such as he always uses as a pre-
liminary to his ventriloquial exploits,
Mr. Hartley sauntered leisurely in.
greeted them pleasantly, and while do
ing so opend fire on them with the shot.
This was done very simply by expelling
the grains from the mouth with the
tongue. As the second or third shot
struck, the servant Barney shouted
"Fo' de Lor' sakes! what Is dis?"
Whereupon another shower OF shot was
sent at him, as well as at the others.
In vain did they attempt to shield
themselves from the shower of missiles.
They were awe-struck. They closed all
the doors and windows tightly, yet
from some unaccountable source came
the missiles.
Assuming supulchral tone, Mr..
Hartley called out, Barney, beware!
beware! beware!'
The effect was electrical. All stood
open-mouthed, while one cautiously
ventured that "the divlls were still in
the house."
Laid the Blame on Fanny.
The now famous Fanny Stryker, the
medium, was the former occupant of the
house. To their credulous minds there
was some ground for their fears. The
notorious Fanny has even now great
following. Poor Barney mustered up
courage enough to inquire, as he sup
posed, of the spirits:
What do thee want?"
The voice came as before, "I will ap-
pear to you at ~ o'clock tonight" They
all stood affrighted.
In far-away voice was called out
II now leave you; good night, good
night, good night, letting the tones die
away apparently in the distance.
At this their courage returned, as
they thought the spectral visitor had
vanished for good. In terror they COM
mented as follows:
"It is the divil."
"Tll never stay here another day."
"Oh, Mr.. Hartley, can't you tell US
why this is?''
Sure, I'll sleep all night with light
In me room"
'They must be banshees, or fairies"
Among some Of the colored classes the
notion prevailes that to drive away the
spirits. one must cross the water This
thought was uppermost in poor Bar
ney's mind, for in the next breath he
whispered

Mr.. E. E. Towne, who is one of the
best known business men in Springfield,
Mass, has been a resident OF that city
for over 30 years. He has fine resi-
dence in tn Mcknight district, and is
well and favorably known among the
best people of the city. He writes:
Il had spent thousands of dollars in
hospitals and at different springs in try
ing to cure sciatic rheumatism Almost
every known remedy, both internal and
external, was tried, but results We're
not satisfactory; no cure was effected.
Early in 1894 (after had had some tenn
porary relief, l was again taken with
very violent suffering, pain night and
day. / tried various remedies for two
months, but with no help. AS another
experiment, l commenced taking Paine's
celery compound. / began to improve
at once befor using up one bottle. The
pains grew less, my appetite grew bet

freshing sleep, and have gained in three
months 10 pounds. 1 have only taken
six bottles, but am nearly WELL It has
done for me in three months what 9TH

example is plain. ... a.

JULY FOURTH SECURED.
Benefit for the Sheridan Monument on
That Day at Lake Ariel,

The committee appointed by the Phil
Sheridan Monument association to Sc
cure Lake Ariel for an excursion for the
benefit of the monument fund visited
Superintendent George B. Smith yester-
day and requested that the Fourth of
July next be assigned to the associa-
tion.
1t is we'll known fact that the Eric
and Wyoming Valley railroad have re-
fused to grant permission to the
grounds on the Fourth Of July to any
other than associations of the most gen
eral character. The committee demon
strated to Mr.. Smith that the Sheridan
monument movement was a general
one and included all classes of the COM
munity and was withal q patriotic ef
fort. This assurance having been given
Mr.. Smith consented to make the ar
rangements with the association for the
Fourth of July next. Arrangements
will be made for one of the grandest
demonstrations that has ever been held
there.

DIR. shrady, in the Forum, gives some
Of the big fees that physicians receive
from wealthy patients.
For four weeks attendance during
typhoid fever the physician to the
prince of Wales received $4,000.
1t is the countless homes in moderate
circumstances, however, that find it so
hard to pay for the frequent doctors
visits. What the plain people want is
the very best medicine, yet not beyond
their means. They have it in Paines
celery compound.
TO prepare such great, popular
remedy, that should embody the most
advanced ideas regarding disease, and
yet be easily within reach of the thous-
and modest homes where sickness ex-
lists, was the lifelong ambition of that
eminent Dartmouth professor, the
greatest physician America has pro-
duced, Edward Il. Phelps, M. D., IL. d.
Paine's celery compound, that remark
able nerve regulator and blood purifier,
was first prepared by Prof. Phelps in
the laboratory of the Dartmouth medi-
cal school,
Paine's celery compound embodied
the sound theory of Prof. Phelps, that
only by feeding and rebuilding worm
out, diseased nerve tissues could firm
health be restored. This greatest of
remedies sets to work at once to store
the nerve tissues and the muscular
tissues with the means of rapid growth.
1t urges the eXcretory organs to cleanse
the blood, and fills it with new red cor

THE PUBLIC
SURPRISED
Physicians AstOunded

The Philadelphia Times truthfully
says: "Munyon is to medicine what
| Edison is to electricity"
The marvellous cures which, have beer
made by the use of his little sugar
pellets have astounded physicians OF
all schools, and will undoubtedly rev.
olutionize the whole practice Of medi'

cure of every disease, and that people
should die only of old age or by acci.
dent.
His system is to build up, not tC
tear down; to strengthen, not to
weaken. .t .t
Professor Munyon does not claim that
he has one remedy that will cure all
complaints, but that he has prepared q
specific cure for nearly every disease

cure will cure consumption, dyspepsia
or any other complaint, but he does
guarantee that it will cure rheumatism
His dyspepsia cure is prepared express

cure coughs, his catarrh remedies to
cure catarrh; his kidney cure to cure

I'D nevah sleep here tonight. I'm
goin' to cross de watah."
True to his word he did "cross de
watah," for he slept that night at the
home of friend in Hoboken.
The joker was compelled to explain
the delusion to the other servants, be-
cause for half an hour they were all
packing up their goods to vacate, and
had notified the "missus."
MIR. Martell Was Scared.
Another scene was enacted in the re-
ception room later on. A Mr.. Martell
and friend called and were duly ush-
cred in, when the usual salutations fol-
lowed. They were scarcely seated be-
fore the missiles came with great vio-
lence. Martell and his friend arose to
their feet in terror, as did Mr.. Hartley,
feigning fright, and going to the vim
dows, closed them hurriedly, closing
the door in turn.
Lost labor. The missiles came still.
1t rained. 1t poured. They demanded
an explanation of their hostess. The
sepulchral tone gave in answer, "It is /.
l am here in the room"
The affrighted pair could only gasp in
horror What is this? What is this p.
Il will see you in the dead Of night"
replied the unseen visitor.
Their fear was alike to that of the
| servants. In eXtenuation, it may be
argued, there was ground for their
fears. They knew the former occupant
was Mrs. Strycker, and to those who
know this the suspicion Is ever domi-
nant that time has not obliterated the
traces Of spectral visitations
The deep, hollow tones of the unseen
commanded: "Martell, place your hat
upon your head upside down; hold
your finger pointed to the east; arms
akimbo; eyes to the ceiling; cane in your
mouth"
Martell obeyed the commands with
alacrlty, while his friend, unable to
trust his person to the further vagaries
of the spirits, fled from the room and
the house without an apology.
To Martell the mystery was dissolved.
His hair dropped to its normal undula-
ton. He shook the joker's hand warmly,
after the severity Of his ordeal had
worn away.
Mr.. Hartley will will be at the Acad-
emy of Music next Thursday evening. :.
