AN OBSCURE CASE.
The Sad Death of Little Harry M cGuire.

Yesterday morning little Harry Mcclure,
son of Mr.. W. H. Mcclure, who resides at
No.1l6 Monument street, died under circum-
stances that make his case a singular and
obscure one. et
Mr.. Mcclure is a slater by occupation, and
occupies the second fiat in the house on
Monument street. Harry, the son, was a
bright, plump little fellow, and as his
mother said yesterday, always active and
healthy. Mrs. Mcguire told PRESS re-
porter that Harry started out Memorial day,
with number of children, to visit Eastern
cemetery. Before the children left the
vicinity an organ grinder, with his monkey
amused them and Harry was much delighted
and got a penny from her to give the
monkey.
Mrs. Mcclure didn't see Harry again for
some little time, when he returned home
suffering greatly from nausea. AS she ex-
pressed it his stomach was continually
heaving. She sent for DR.. Henry P. Merrill,
and, when her husband came home, he sent
for DR.. George H. Cummings. She says She
asked the child what he had eaten Or drank !,
but he could not enlighten her. She had
been told by one of her neighbors that the
boy had been seen to drink from a pan of
stagnant water in the yard which was
placed there for the cats to drink from, and
into which Stops and refuse were occasional
ly poured. She had also heard story that
some of the children had said Harry picked
up bottle he found in the cemetery and
drank some of its contents, but she did not
know anything certain as to the truth of
the story, or who the children were who had
so stated. Harry continued suffering from
the nausea until Monday morning when he
died.
DR.. Cummings said the case was an OBJ
scure one. He should say the child had
taken something of a poisonous nature. He
had been told that when Harry was return
ing from the cemetery on Memorial day, he
fell in CONFUSION, and was taken with
severe vomiting. All through his brief ILL
ness the child's pulse was good, he was free
from fever, he had but little brain disturb
ance. He had little nose bleed. His
nausea, however, was continuous. He might
have been afflicted with stoppage, a twist
in the bowels, an internal hernia. The
remedies didn't have the effect to restore
him, and when the boys death occurred it
came quite suddenly. Quickly after death
the body turned a dark color. Dr. Cummings
said he wished to have a post mortem in
order to determine the cause of death, be-
cause it might benefit others similarly
afflicted. but the parents were very fond of
their child and could not bear to have the
autopsy performed. So the matter was
dropped. The doctor had been told that the
chill was in the habit of picking up things
and eating them, as some other children do.
The case is certainly an odd one.

 By means unknown to us, a conspicuous New York Trade Journal-"The Dry Goods Economist" repro duced our advertisement "The Way Out" on their specimen page of Wide Awake Advertising" sign ing it, Lively & Co.,"
 Last Monday evening we enjoyed the spectacle of a smaller brother Dry Goods House appending this identi- cal article to their own spacious advertisement in the Anniversary edition of the Evening Leader. This seems commendable at least as an effort to follow the footsteps which have led the Biz Store to Kingship in | Dry Goods retailing. Com mendable too, in displaying such broadness of vision as to appropriate what is best purely upon its merit.
 Then, it shows that there is no use in drawing upon New York, Boston and other large cities for what are termed brainy advertisements and even less occasion fol verbatim reproductions oI "Wanamaker" advertise ments as in the case of stll another smaller brother 1T the Dry Goods trade. Of course 1t costs money tc l advertise, especially in an or
 iginal and unique style. an, the application of free anc ready made productions O
 the higher type, yield riches results besides cutting dowr materially the expense ac . count.
 To be sure the little matter : of neglect in attaching tn, signature of Malley, Neel, & Co., to " The Way Out, can be graciously overlooked while we stand upon the higi eminence of leadership, view ing with interest and satisfac tion the contesting struggles of lesser lights to become l great by following the triec and trusty ways of theil leader.
