A BIG SCHEME.
Failure Will Probably Stop
Its Development.
Further Particulars Regarding Kent
& Stanley Company Difficulty.
Experts at Work Upon the Books
MIR. Kent is Sick.

Reports from New York city state that
an attachment for 10,5OO was issued yes
terday against property in that city OF
the Kent & Stanley Company, jewellers, of
Boston, in favor Of A. Lewinson.
Inquiry at the Providence office was
met with the answer that this attach
'ment was placed by a gentleman who is
interested in the company, and it was
done in the interests of the creditors, al
though it was done without the knowl-
edge or consent of the company.
The Kent & Stanley Company has five
offices, in New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia, San Francisco and this city,
those outside OF Providence carrying
sample lines chiefly. sample line" OF
jewellery represents $4,000 or 5000 at least.
so it will be seen that considerable wealth
belonging 10 the company is distributed
around the country, and would be easy
prey for disgruDtled creditors.
Things at the Sabin street Office are in a
peculiar condition. Experts are at work
able time 10 get them balanced, after
which a statement will be made for
the bene9t OF creditors. Just
why il is necessary to balance
the books at this time is not stated. The
factory is running in part, about 25 hands
of the 22o employed before Christmas be-
ing at work making samples and filling
orders, although they only work three
days. week. 1t Is stated at the Office,
however, that it is not unusually dull for
this season of the year.
Mr.. Kent, who was treasurer until this
week, has been succeeded by Mr.. Huxley,
although why he is no longer connected
with the company is not made clear at
the office. Mr.. Kent is said to be sick
at home with nervous prostration and
has been since Monday. His friends say
that be has been carving too great load
and has aged fearfully within a short
time.
Said prominent manufacturer today:
"W Whatever yo,l write hope you will deal
kindly with Mr. Kent, for kinder man
never lived. / don't know why he was re-
moved from the company, unless 1t Is be-
cause OF sickness, but the fact That he was
shows that he did not own controlling
interest and 1t further shows that il the
stockholders considered that he erred in
judgment, and have sometimes thought
ne had. they had the power a any time to
oppose his plans"
Speaking of the connection Mr.. Kent
enjoys with the Kent-Tngley Building
and Land Company, a banker said: This
trouble may interfere with the con-
summation OF one of the most

manufacturing building on the
lot. l am afraid, however, that

IL is said that II anything happens to
the big building project, 1t means black
eye for many New England enterprise.

Have you ever been "too tired to sleep? :"
Nerves, like telegraph wires, continue
to vibrate long after the message has gone
over them, with this difference: that the
nerves need to be built up after each mes
sage.
When the network OF nerves is kept
alive and tingling with work or excite
ment all day long without opportunity OF
proper means for repair, sleep becomes
more and moro difficult, and debility,
nervous weakness and oftentimes loss of
flesh follow.
In nine cases out OF ten that dread dis
ease, insomnia, is directly traceable to a
nervous system that fails to get the nour-
ishment that is demanded to replace its
worn-out parts. The brain and nerves
cannot appropriate as food all that comes

Mexico Viii! Have War With
the GuatemaIans.
Extensive Preparations Being Made
to 0verrun the Country.
Plans Maturing For Serious Trouble
Between These Two Governments.

SALINA, Oaxacs, Jan. 25.-It is reported
here that arrangements are being quietly
made by the Mexican war authorities
for the Guatemalan invasion as
soon as hostilities are declared.
The theory is that the armed corvette
Saragosa, the gunboat Oaxaca and all the
Mexican boats of the Pacific coast will
be employed in landing troops a,
San Jose, Guatemala, or at some other
convenient point. Immediately on the
landing the forces will be pushed with all
possible speed across country toward the
capitol which lies only about fifty miles
from the cost and whore 1t is naturally
expected hard lighting will occur.
AT the same time the famous Mexican
rural force will be ready to start from
various points on the border now oc-
cupied by Mexican troops and cavalry
sweeping through the country like
whirlwind. The rurals will aim to clear
up things IS they go and be on hand and
ready to cooperate with the sea forces by
the time they have arrived before the
city OF Guatemala. The artillery
and other heavy guns will be shipped by
'-ssey and as aha -Guatemslsus win prob
ably do all in their power to prevent the
landing of the Mexican forces, il
is evident that the artillery now
on the Mexican ships and that designed
for besieging servics will be Immediately
brought into play.
In this event, as there are several good
landing places along the Guatemalan
coast, there Will be no difficulty in elud
ing the opposition should it be shown
at the regular harbor. The Guatemalan
forces are altogether too small TO put up
good fight at more than one or two points
and so Mexico will have probably
little trouble in gaining lines. The
evident policy of Guate mala will
be 10 mass all the force possible on the
coast and northern frontier at tho stra-
tegic point and have the forces fall
back upon the Notifications at the
Guatemalan capital if favorable to
hold their own against the Mexicans.
That this will be possible is not easily
seen in the service ofa plan which Mexi-
co is evidently laying to rush in and cap
ture their chief city or every state.
Should the Guatemalans destroy tho
means of subsistence in the track of the
invading Mexicsns, the rurals will be used
for forging purposes as well as for gen.
eral fighting when not needed.
The number OF troops already on the
frontier is $1,000, and several brigades are
are in readiness to be pushed to the front
at a days notice. Throughout the re-
public the same activity il noticed and
there is no doubi that Mexico could put
$4,000 men on the Guatemalan frontier
within week or 10 days IL occasion de-
manded. The general health and equip
ment of he Mexican troops. now in the
South are very good and reports from The
probable seat OF war are that the soldiers
and officers are in high spirits and anx-
ious to push forward at the command
from headquarters.
