Last June Dick Crawford brought his
twelve. months-old child, suffering from
infantile diarrhea, to me. 1t had been
weaned at four months old and had al
ways been sickly. I gave it the usual
treatment in such cases but without
benefit. The child kept growing thin
ner until it weighted but little more
than when born, or perhaps ten pounds.
l then started the father to giving
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhna Remedy. Before one bottle Of
the % cent size had been used mark
ed improvement was seen and its con-
tinued use cured the child. It's weak
ness and puny constitution disappear
ed and its father and myself believe the
child's life was saved by this Remedy.

Chas. B. Rouss Nearly Blind.

ChaS. B. Rouss Nearly Blind
The keen eyes of Charles Broadway
Rouss, the millionaire auction dry
goods merchant, has, sad to say, failed
him, and the specialists who stated
three months ago that he would soon
be siehtless, evidently diagnosed right
". The reported partial blindness OF
the well-known merchant was made
public three months ago, it being then
said that the merchants eyes were so
bad that he had to be led about his
establishment Rouss's eyes began to
fail four months ago. Since then he
has been unable to read bis cores
pondence. Not long ago the late DIR.
LOOMS warned him, but he would not
lister.
Those eyes had made aud earned
millions, and have been forced to work
early and late, at last rebelling, and
Rouss is paying the penalty in partial
blindness. The family and friends
gave up all hope of saving Mr.. Rouss's
eyes long ago, and the energy and Ell
forts of the doctors were directed to-
wards keeping it from getting worse,
But even expert specialists failed, and
in spite of their efforts nature had her
say, with the result that the noted
merchants eyes are almost sightless.
Charles Broadway Rouss was born
fifty years ago. In 1867 Rouss went to
New York city from Winchester, Va,
penniless, friendless and alone in the
world. He had no friend to whom he
could turn for shelter or protection,
The first night he slept in a box wagon,
none the worse for his experience the
next morning. During the war
Rouss had fought bravely and
manfully on the Confederate side,
his regiment being under com
mand of Gen. "Stonewalln jack
son. At one time he was in business at
No. 149 Duane street. He failed in
1875, but later paid off his debts
amounting to S51, 900, and to-day, al
though unable TO see his wealth, he is
easily worth Sl0000,000. Up to four
wears ago he worked twenty hours q
day in his store, No. $40 Broadway.
He has not missed week from the
Office for twenty years. He reaches
there at 6 a. m., after an hours drive
through the park behind his superb
team of horses. He stays there until
six, eight and nine o'clock at night.
When man enters his Office he looks
up and says in his curious, deadened
monotone voice, "Well, sir, what can l
do for you? My time is worth 500 a
minute. How much do you want?"
And soon after he will tell you about
the son who was the apple of his eye,
in whom centered his ambition and his
hope, and who died in the first flush Of
manhood. After Rouss leaves the store
he drives home behind his speedy
horses. His home, No. 692 Fifth
avenue, is bounded on one side by d.
o. Mills's residence, on the other by
John Hughes, of Hilton, Hughes &
Denning. He said to Mr.. Hilton that
all the Stewart millions could not buy
his house.
Mr.. Rouss's son, Peter Rouss, has also
a promising career. He is severely
shocked over his fathers affliction, but
bears the matter manfully. In the
store, where Rouss has spent the best
years of his life, he has all his letters
read to him by a trusted secretary.
He recognizes the members of his
family only by their voices.

A Fatal Runaway on Wick
enden Street.
Henry Phillips Thrown Out and
Dragged by the Reins.
Head Crushed Against the Curb. His
Chum Escaped Without Injury.

Henry Phillips. bright title fellow. IA
years old, was killed at the corner of Wade
and Wickenden streets at $40 this morning,
the cause being runaway horse
At a little after clock Henry and one Of
his companions, Henry Thatcher. started
from the home of the former. at the corner Of
Governor and Arnold streets. and were COM
ing to Fort Hill for load OF sand which they
were to dump into the yard of Charles 4
Phillips, Henry's brother at East Providence.
The boys chatted as they drove down Arnold
to East street, and then to Wickenden street.
and when at the lower end OF Tockwotton
Park. the off forward wheel of the wagon
either broke or came off. The Phillips boy
fell to the ground. but held on to the reius.
The Thatcher boy was thrown'sgainst the
horse. but he got into the body of the wagon
again. and just before the horse turned into
Wade street he dropped cut OF the rear of the
wagon. and escaped without any serious in
jures.
When the wheel came off. the seat. which
was quito high, fell against the horse. and he
at once started into a wild run. and as the
Phillips boy had the reins in his possession.
he was drawn under the wagon in such
manner that he was caught by the axle. and
dragged over the rough pavements, along
wicxendcn street TO Wade, where the horse
turned. In going around the corner the boy
and the axle struck the curbctone with sucn
force as to disconnect the body OF the wagon
from the front wheels, and when those near
by went to the assistance of the boy, he was
dead.
Officer Joseph Yeaw. who was standing
near the corner Of the street. saw the horse
coming and also saw the dangerous position
of the boy. and made an heroic effort to
catch the horse. but was unable to do so.
The officer picked up the body of the dead
boy and laid IL On plat of grass near by. and
then telephoned to Medical Examiner Palmer.
When the doctor arrived he and tho officer
took the body into the house of Mrs Hart on
Wade street. When an examination was made
il was found that conclusion Of the brain was
the cause Of his death. His face, scalp and
hands were horribly mutiiated by being
dragged along the pavement, and more sol as
portion of the weight OF the wagon was
resting upon his body.
DIR Palmer will make some INQUIRIES into
the case, as tho hatcher boy says that while
they were riding along East street young
Phillips told him that the horse had ran away
earlier in the morning, ana that he had to
hitch up another horse and 90 after him. The
horse S owned by Charles 4 Phillips Of East
Providence.
II Phillips, 40 Governor street. who tonk

at 254 Transit street.

In interior apportionment OF space and

The first floor will be devoted TO dia-

burg-Maine Union Station and the Chi
cago Public Library. The T.. Everett

tors and the fact that they built the

the death of Horace, In 1874, his widow,
fearing the stability OF Grace Church
spire, moved away, but returned later
and was the last occupant of the original
house.
The completion OF the Lyceum build
ing, below the Arcade, i'm 1868, marked
the beginning OF the business growth on
Westminster street, above Exchange
Gorham * Go. were then located on
Steeple street. Their entire stock OF
silverware was then hardly equal TO that
of present day retailer. Mr.. Henry Il.
Brown was in charge of their retail busi-
ness when I was moved into the Lycsum
building, occupying one half of the
ground floor. The mural decorations of
the store by Cattanach surpassed any
thing seen in Providence at that time, and
the tile floor and large glass windows
made a regular sensation. Altogether IL
was the handsomest store of its kind in
New England. A few years later Mr..
Brown purchased the interest of the Cor
ham Company. The class of goods car
ried, as is remembered by Providence
people, was OF the richest and most cele-
brated manufacture.
In 1868 new firm vas organized under
the name OF Henry Il. Brown q Co.,
consisting of Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Henry
Tildep. In 1880 Mr.. Brown retired, and
the firm of Tilden. Thurber & Co.. was
organized, with Henry Tilden, Gorham
Thurber and William IL. Tburber as part
uers.
In 1882, having outgrown this store
space, they moved TO much larger quar-
ters in the Wheaton q Anthony building,
where they now are. In 1S93the firm was
