Restored to Their Parents by the Bell
man Of Liverpool.

man Of Liverpool.
Francis George, the Liverpool bell
man, is to retire from the service OF the
city, after a public career extending
over a period of sixty years. He was
ordinarily q member of the old dock
police force. 1t is said that at one time
the office of bellman was worth to the
person who held 1t about f50O per an
mum. In addition to making public
proclamations, 1t was part of the bell
mans duty on all civic occasions to
walk before the Mayor Of Liverpool
with a portion of the reSalia- 1t was
Mr.. Georges distinction in that capaci-
ty during his long period of office to
walk before fifty-three Mayors. In these
later days the Office of bellman has be-
come practically sinecure. The du-
ties which he had to discharge have
become obsolete, and other means OF
announcement have superseded that Of
the bellman. Up to the present, how
ever, to the bellman's house In Greek
street are taken lost and strayed chill
dren who may be found wandering
about uncared for In the streets of Liv-
erpoOl. During his long tenure Of Of.
fee, Mr.. George has received from po-
lice officers at the bellman's house the
custody of no fewer than 10000 stray
children, whom he restored to their
parents. Latterly this was the old
bellman's chief emolument, each parent
paying Cd. for the recovery Of the lost
children, and EOS n year was granted
to Mr.. George from the corporation.

(From the Springfield, Lass, Lnion)
There isn't a gun manufacturer in the
United States who does not know Jefferson
N. Clough, and why? because he has been
intimately associated all his life with the de-
velopment Of the two best American rifles,
the Remington and Winchester. For years
he was Superintendent Of the E. Remington
& Sons great factory at Iuon, N. Y. After
leaving there he refused a tempting offer OF
the Chinese Government to 20 to China 70
superintend their government factories, -
and accepted instead the superintendency OF
the Winchester-Arms Co., at New Haven, n'
a salary Of o., 500 year.
1t was after this long term of active Iabo.
ns business man that he found himself In
capacitated for further service by the en-
barge which rheumatism had laid upon him
and resigned his position more than two
years ago, and returned to Belchertown,
Mass, where he now lives and owns the
Phelps farm, retired spot where he has Ave
hundred acres Of land.
Being man Of means he did not spare the
cost and was treated by leading physicians
and by baths at celebrated springs without
receiving any benefit worth notice. During
the summer Of 1898 and the winter Of 1894
Mr.. Clough was confined to his house in
Belchertown, being unable to rise from his
bed without assistance, and suffering coz
with acute pains and with no taste
or desire for food, nor was he able to obtain
ufflcient sleep.
Early in the year 1894 Mr.. Clough heard OF
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
He began taking these pills about the first OF
March, 1894, and continued to do 80 until
the first part OF September following. The
n rst effect noticed was a better appetite and
he began to note more ability to help himself
off the bed and to be better generally. Last
August Qs94) he was able to go alone to his
residence and farm Of 1853 acres on
Grenadier Island, among the Thousand
Islands, in the river St. Lawrence, where
from the highest land of his farm he COM
nands q view for IS miles down tho river,
and so Of the Thousand Islands can be seen.
Instead OF being confined to his bed Mr..
Clough Is now and has been for some time
able to be about the farm to direct the
men employed there and he is thankful for
what DR.. Williams Pink Pills have done for
aim.
These pills are manufa,tored by tho Dr.

firms trade mark and wrapper at so cents n
box or six boxes for $50, and are never sold
In bulk. They may be had o. all druggists

FOUND IN TIE SIERRA MApREa.

4 Strange Prehist0rlc City Accidentally
Discovered by m Adventurous Miner.
Malvern W. Cresworth, an English
mining man we'll know throughout
Southwest Mexico, arrived at Map
imi Mexico. recently from long
overland journey through the Sierra
Madre Mountains. his starting point
being Culicap, near the Pacific coast
in the State of Sinaloa He claims
to have visited a section OF country
never before visited by q white man
of the present generation, and that
he discovered a large and beautiful
deserted city. He told correspond.
ent OF the St Louis Globe-D Democrat
that the wonderful city Is situated
about eighty miles west Of Lake
Colorado, in the very recesses OF the
Sierra Madrea It occupies q basin
about ten miles long by eight miles
wide. Perpendicular cliffs surround
height of hundreds Of feet The
bnly entrance to the city is through q
deep canon. which has a width Of
about thirty feet Mr.. Cresworth
states that he stumbled onto the Sc
cret en- ntrance quite by accident He
gives a vivid description of the de-
serted city. The buildings, he says,
are constructed OF red stoce blocks,
resembling granite. The business
blocks are two ana three stories In
height, and are entirely different IN
architectural design from the struc-
lures built by the Aztecs and Span
}ards. The streets are very narrow,
but are laid out in regular order In
the city is small park, which Is
bvergrOwn with rare flowers and
tropical vegetation. He entered the
business houses and decaYing resi-.
hences but found very little OF value
except some remarkable and strange
ornaments made Of stone He be-
lieves that the city was looted at the
time that 1t was deserted, whenever
that may have been. No records OF
writings OF any kind were found, nor
did he discover any skeleton that
would give an idea as to the race Of
people who at one time inhabited
the city. None of the natives OF
that section Of country had ever
heard OF the deserted city. Mr..
Cresworth is making diligent in
quiry OF them. Mr.. Cresworth's
story is very startling and remark
able, but 1t is believed by tho Q to
whom he has related his experiences
He will organize an expedition to
make thorough exploration of the
city.
