WEDNESDAY EVENING. DEC. 4, 1895.
KIDNAPPER FoILED.

Mrs. Charles Hamilton, of No 27l
Fifty-second street, Brooklyn, took her
two children, Ella, four years old, and
Charles, two years old, with her to
New York last Saturday afternoon on
shopping tour. She was accompanied
by her sister, Miss Bond.
The party visited several stores In
Sixth avenue. The sidewalks a%are
thronged, and it was hard work to :ot
the children through the crowd. Miss
Bond went into q store between Seven
teenth and Eighteenth streets. Mrs.
Hamilton, with her two children, hold
ing one by each hand, stood on the side,
walk waiting for her sister. The girl
became interested in the jewelry dis
PLAYED in a window and moved closer:
still holding her mothers hand.
Something at that moment alarmed
the boy. He pressed closer to his moth
or and stretched his arms out to her
and begged her to take him up. The
mother took the child in her arms, re-
leasing her hold upon the girl. She
turned to look after her daughter, but
could see no trace of her. The pedes-
TRANS seemed TO have crowded around
and carried the child along.
Miss Bond came out of the store to
find Mrs. Hamilton franticaHy trying to
push her way through the crowd In
search of her little girl. Miss Bond ran
out in the gutter and ran along, peer
ing into the crowd.
She saw Ella being dragged along by
a woman dressed in long black CLOAK.
The woman started to cross Sixth
avenue, evidently bound for the up
town station of the elevated road at
Eighteenth street. The child was walk
ing as though half asleep.
Miss Bond Intercepted the woman and
seized the child.
tHow dare you," said the kidnapper.
"Let 60 of that child Instantly or shall
call policeman
81 shall have you arrested" said Miss
Bond.
The woman released her hold, mum
bled something about looking for a
policeman, to whom to deliver the
child, mingled with the crowd and was
gone.
Miss Bond snatched the girl up and
carried her to her mother. The child
seemed listless and sleepy. She could
hardly keep her eyes open. .
The child was carried home, and all
day Sunday seemed to be i'll. She had
the symptoms of having been chloro-
formed. She has hardly any recollec-
ton of what happened.

A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is COMPOUNDED by many persons
with a severe attack of catarrh, which in some
respects resembles the former. These indi-
viduals suffer severely with pain about the
forehead, eyes and ears, with soreness in
throat and stoppage of the nasal passages, and
in fact, are incapacitated for work of any
kind for days at time. These are catarrhal
sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been used
with the best results in such cases. The
remedy will give instant relief.

PANA, Ills, Sept. l1.-William Bass,
son of Eli Bass, awcalthy farmer living
six miles south of this city. who has been
missing since Aug. s. and who was sup
posed to be dead, has tarned up alive. One
month ago he took car of live stock to
Chicago, drew the proceeds, $1,000, and
disappeared. Monday his father received
a letter from him stating that yesterday
morning his dead body would be found ut
Il certain spot near the Bass homestead, and
that he had forwarded his caskct and burial
clothes. together with $40 in money, TO

Now the wind had shifted TO southwest
bysouth and slowed down to miles an
hour, and the last lc,. was another reach.
As soon as the boats sad both laid their
course for home the Defender with her
sound rigging to windward began TO rapid
ly overhaul the Valkyrie. The Valkyrie
took in her balloon jib topsail and replaced
IT with baby. She also set a balloon
staysaif. but do what she could. the De
fender overhauled her and gained on the
English boat 80 fast that when the finish
was reached the Nalkyrie was only . min
utes and Is seconds ahead after having
gone over the starting line minute and !
seconds ahead.
More than one competent witness of the
days sport said that considering every
thing the Vaikyrie was beaten worse than
on Saturday. The Defender gained on her
on the second and third leg. As n matter
of fact the only time during which both
vessels had the same sails set was on the
third leg, and during that run the De-
fender gained l minute and Il seconds.
The few champions of the English boat
who are left cannot find any consolation
in the achievement of their ship yesterday.
When the tug Walter Luckenback with
the regatta committee of the New York
Yacht club arrived at the foot of East
Twenty sixth, :. Nicholson Kane, chairman
of the committee, was asked in regard to
the alleged fouling of the Defender by the
Nalkyrie. He said that protest had been
entertained and the regatta committee had
held a conference in regard to the matter
while the tug was on her way to the dock,
but that no definite conclusion had been
arrived at

DESCRIPTION OF THE RACE.
Again the supposed Ideal Vaikyrie Weathe>
The Defenders Protest.

The Defenders Protest.
OF course there was protest flag shown
on the Defender after the fouling and it
was answered from the Luckcnback, but
the race went on. The weather was again
what has come to be known as Valkyrie
weathcr-wind about miles an hour.
After the yachts came aboat to the port
tack soon after crossing the line, the Val
kyrc was good eighth of Il mile to wind
ward and several lengths ahead As they
stood away on the por. tack the wind in
creased to s or 8 miles an hour During
that tack the Nalkyric plainly outfooted
and outpointcd the Defender. At 1l:24
the Defender came about to starboard
The Nalkyrie followed promptly. On this
tack the Defender pointed up very well
and went very fast, but the Vall5yric did
better i'll both points of sailing. IL should
be remembered that the Defender was run
ming under less canvas than the Nalky-
RE. owing to the mishap at the start
They only stood away on this tack about
five minutes, then they came around to-
gctkcr. All the time the Valkyric was
doing the better work in both pointing
and footing. There was considerable Won
der expressed that the Defender. without
any jib topsail. did not point higher than
she dti, but as IA matter OF fact the Val
kyrie was going 10 windward all the time
she was going ahead. At 11:54 the De-
fender was the first TO come about. The
Nalkyric followed her opponents exam
pie. The breeze has frcshened from the
south right along, and the Nalkyrie being
TO windward always felt the increase
first.
At L.: 10 the yachts came around TO port
and nj 1924 back again to starboard. on
which tack they Were both able TO make
the first mark, where their time was taken
as follows: Nalkyrie, l2:51:i3. Defender,
I:Ol::55 30 il will he seen that the Ealky-
RE led out To TIE first mark by 3 minutes
and % seconds. As the Valkyrie rounded
she set her big balloon jib-topsail and took
in her jib That big front sail filed mag
nificcntly and drew with goodness knows
how many Horsepower. The Defenders
friends watched with all their eyes To see
if their favorite would set her balloon jib-
topsail.
But the Defender was only able to run
up a baby sail on the jib-topsail stay. y
larger spread of canvas would have caused
too much strain on the weakened stay.
The Defender did, however, set a balloon
staysail and not long afterward the Val
kyrie followed suit and sent up balloon
on her forestry. The wind wa. then about
south-southcast. going at the rate of some
thing like Il miles an hour and blowing
well over the .achts quarters, with bOoms

crippled Defender overhauled the BritOa

Reader, did you ever take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR, the "KING OF
LIVER MEDICEJEs?" Everybody needs
take liver remedy. It is sluggish or
diseased liver that iapairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
Ilator and you'll get rid of these trou-
bies, and give tone to the whole sys-
TEN. For q. laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is BETTER THAN PILLS. Il
does not grippe, nor weaken, but greatly
rafreshes and strengthens.
