His wife also used DR.. Gree 1e's Nervura

Mr. Crouch has ALWAYS been an active
man in town and city affairs In old town

needs OF the time, and since Northampton
has been city h, has served for several
years in its government, and at the last

some of the finest houses in the city. Both
Mr.. AMI Mrs. Crouch give DR. Greene the
praise Of giving them a medicine that will
cure and keep the N well.
The word of this widely-known city gov
eminent official ,lAlderman Crouch, should
have the most convincing weight with the
public, but when we have added to this the
fact that the Northampton Daily Hampshire
Gazette, newspaper of the highest stand
ing, vouches editorially for the truth of
every word, and its editor states that he has
personally investigated all the facts Of the
marvellous cure, there should be no hesita-
ton by the people to use this great medical
discovery, this wonderful curer of disease,
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy. 1t is fact no longer to be doubted
that this remedy cures-that it makes those
who use it strong and well-that it is the
surest and most certain cure for disease
known at the present day.
1t If the very best of all spring medicines,
and should be taken now by all who are
weak, nervous and run down, to strengthen
the nerves and invigorate the blood.

scriptiOn of the most succt ssful living
specialist, in curing nervous and chronic
diseases, DR.. Greene, of "a Temple Place,
Boston, Mass He has the largest practice
in the world, and this grand medical dis

The great reputation of DIR. Greene is a

A Touching Incident.

An incident of peculiarly touching
character occurred recently in one of
the elevated railroad trains, that
brought tears to the ewes of the passen-
gers. The train had just left One Hun
dred and Twenty-ftth street when the
passengers saw entering the car little
boy about six years old, half carried by
an older boy, evidently his brother.
Both were well dressed, but at the first
glance it was seen that the little fellow
was blind. He had pale, wan face,
but was smiling. A quick look of sym.
patty passed over the faces of the pas
sengers, and an old grey. haired gentle
man got up and gave his seat to the
two. The "big brother" who was
about eleven years old. tenderly lifted
up the little blind boy and placed him
on his knee. "How's that?' he asked.
"Nice," said the little chap. "Where's
my 'monica?" This puzzled some of
the passengers, and several turned to
see what the child meant. But the
'big brother" knew, and Immediately
drew out small mouth harmonica, and
placed it into the little fellows hands.
The little fellow took the instrument
into his hands, ran it across his lips.
ohu DCSah W Play cOitly, NedTeT, MY
God, to Thee" Tears came into the
eyes of the old gent eman who had
given up his sea- and as the little fell
low played on, running into the Rock
of Ages" and abide With Me-" there
were many moist eyes IN the car. The
train rushed along; the passengers
listened, and the little fellow played on
tirelessly, never missing note of
Annie Laurie" or "Home, Sweet
Home" Finally the "big BROTHER
leaned down and told the little one to
get ready to leave, as the train was
nearing their station. Then, as if he
knew he had won whole carload of
friends, the blind boy quickly changed
the "Suwanee River into "Auld Lang
Syne"; and with one accord the passen-
gers burst into round of applause,
while the "big brother" carried the lit
tie one out of the car.-New York

Date Oddities,

The old rhylning prophecy tells us that
In every future year of our Lord
When the sum of the figures is twenty five
Some warlike nation will draw the sword,
But peaceful nations in peace will thrive.
One thousand eight hundred and eighty.
eight WAS the fifth year of modern times
in which the aggregate of the figures was
25, and it was the first in the series which
extends over period of nearly 200 years,
in which the predictions of the prophet
were not literally fulfilled
In 1899 Russia, Poland and Denmark
formed the alliance against Sweden which
inaugurated the great war which ended in
the disastrous defeat of Charles XII at
Poltava
The year 7S9 is one of the dark dates in
the annals of time because of its being the
year in which the French revolution broke
out and ragged until after the reign of
terror
The year 1893 witnessed the famous
campaign of Napoleon into Egypt and the
formation of the second European coali-
ton against France.
The next date upon which the sum total
of the figures in the date aggregated 20
was 1879, and In that year Great Britain's
troops invaded Afghanistan, leaving be-
hind them monstrous trail of blood.
One thousand eight hundred and eighty
eight, the fifth in this series of combina-
ton date oddities, did not witness any
formal declaration of war; but 1t was one
of the most disastrous of modern times as
far as sbipwrecks, mine accident, railway
disasters and general mishaps are con
cerned.
One thousand eight hundred and ninety.
seven will be another date in which tho
combined figures aggregate 90, and there
cannot possibly be but three Others of the
same kind between that time and the
opening of the 2599.

Swords OF Damascus.

To the lovers of strange goods the
bazars of Damascus are far more allur-
ing than those of Cairo or CONSTANT
nople. The capacious chests of the
merchants contain much that we would
buy were our purses longer. Old en-
broideries of wonderful colors, delicate
China silks of many hues, swords of
cunning workmanship, all these piled
beside us on the floor. 1t is but seldom
that really good specimen of the Da-
mascus sword can be obtained, for the
art of working and engraving steel is
dead. These swords were made of al
ternate layers of iron and steel, 30
finely tempered that the blade would
bend to the hilt without breaking,
with an edge SO keen that no coat of
mail could resist it, and a surface so
highly polished that when a Mosle m
wished to rearrange his turban he used
his sword for looking glass.

A Word to Parents,

1t is the parent who creates or who
dissipates the atmosphere of God
around the child. No one else so sur
rounds and environs the child, and en-
vironment is that which most surely
moulds character and most perceptibly
confirms it. What we want to have
form in part or wholly the child's char
acter we put into his immediate sur
roundings. Speaking to parents in
reference to their children, DR.. Bush
nell says: I" If you will put in Christ.
you must put him on" The more
truly parents put on the spirit of Christ
in their own soul and life, the more
sure they may be that they will sue
coed in putting him into the character
and the very being of their dear chill.

How to Be Miserable.

II you should wish to be miserable

what you want, what you like, what re-

will make sin and misery for yourself

COMMOTION IN THE ASSAY OFFICE
Brisk blaze Started by an Over

NEW YORK, Dec 6.-There was great
commotion in the assay Office in Wall street
this morning. The journal of an engine in
the deposit melting room, where 400, 900
in gold bars was being arranged for ship
ment, became overheated and the oil ig-
nited. The flame followed the oil train along
the point of the machine to the ceiling.
Great volumes of black smoke quickly flied
all the rooms of the building, Outside on
Wall street came a great kicking at the
doors. 1t was a policeman trying to get In.
An official opened the door about an inch
and then slammed the door in the policeman's
face. The policeman ran TO a fire box and
turned in an alarm, and in few moments
two engines ratified up to the corner. The fire.
men, axes in hand, made an onslaught on
tho iron doors, but they were refused admis-
sion. They insisted and finally fifteen were
allowed to enter. Mr. Crosa, chief clerk
said the only danger was that the fire nigh;
have extended to the assay room over the
deposit melting room. The building was old
and the timbers very dry, and consequently
highly infammable The damage will not
amount to over $l00 Most of It was done to
the betting and woodwork. There Is sum
amounting to nearly 500. .000, 900 in the vaults
in the assay Office, 100000 Of which is In

APACHES MAKING TROUBLE
Four More Men Found Murdered Near the

PHOENIX Ariz, Dec. 6.--Latest reports
from the vicinity Of the San Carlos agency,
Arizona, indicate that the outbreak Of the
Apaches is of more Importance than was at
first supposed. The bodies Of four white men
were found yesterday in the lower ella val
ley, near the reservation line, Close TO Fort
Thomas which was recently abandoned by the
United States troops This is forty-five miles
from Ash Springs, where the Merrills were
killed, 30 that it must have been done by a
different party Of Indians, and undoubtedly
by larger band. Settlers in that section are
under arms and the troops from Forts Bayard,
Grant and Cachuca are securing the country.
The Ash Springs murderers have been trailed
to the STEMS peak range, favorite retreat
for the Apaches when they have been doing
mischief.
SOLOMONV1LI.E, Ariz., d c. 6.-L!eutenlnt
| Rivers arrived with company of cavalry and
scouts this afternoon. He was ordered out
| Wednesday on receipt Of news of the Indian
| murder near Ash Springs. The Indian camps
| on the reservation east of Apache were Wis
ited No Indians were reported absent. The
march from Apache was made in good time.
The Indians who killed Merrill and his daugh-
ter doubtless belong to the Kids band, as no
Indians are known TO be absent from the
reservation except these renegades. Troops
are out from Fort Grant, and also from Fort
Bayard.
No news was received today from Sherif
Wright and posse, who started on the trail
of the Indians Tuesday morning. At last ac-
counts nineteen men were in pursuit and the
trail was plain. Old Indian trailers here
think the posse is in close pursuit or they
would have been heard from. The trail was
going toward STEMS pass, but 1t is believed
that IL the posse had crossed the Southern
Pacific railroad it would have been heard
from, con sequently 1t is believed that the
Indians have turned north. company Of
soldiers arrived at San Simeon yesterday.

ST LOUIS, Dec. 6.-The story has become
public today that z. T. Lewis of Urbana, who
victimized numbers of people by selling
forged municipal bonds, and who, after an at
tempt to support himself by denial or by
buying off his accusers, finally absconded, is
now hotly pursued over the world by Ralph
Crawford, a Cincinnati detective. 1t is a
story which affords opportunity for enlarge
ment, for the chief feature of it is that
Crawford has unlimited means in cash and
letters of credit to enable him to travel
around the globe IL necessary and that his
money is furnished by Cincinnati banks,
which, until now. have been silent victims
Of Lewis forged bond business.
1t Us said that the Cincinnati bankers kept
perfectly quiet about a loss that is given
everywhere from $1500O0 to $250.O00 through
Lewis wiles. but that four weeks ago they
formed a pool and got permission Of the
police commissioners to employ Detective
Ralph Crawford to search for the abscondng
Lewis. The police, of course are bound to
secrecy regarding Crawfords movements,
The banks naturally have no revelations to
make concerning such heavy losses incurred
through handling forged paper. The only
known fact is that Detective Crawford has
been gone on mysterious mission four
weeks. lie has been credited with getting
on the trail Of Lewis, but the unofficial ac
counts, which are the only ones available
differ widely as to the location. One places
him In Mexico and another In London. All
agree that Detective Crawford is equipped
