Suicide of Fair Haven Business Man.

Henry j. Peck, AZ, of Fair Haven COM
mitted suicide last week Wednesday near
Troy, n. Y, where he had gone on bust
ness trip. He placed a revolver to his head
and fired, but inflicted only flesh wound.
He is then supposed to have lain down in
the Wyantskill, river and to have died from
drowning. The body was found in the river
Thursday. Peck had been suffering from
spinal disease for some time, and it is
supposed that his mind was affected. He
had been engaged in the grocery business
at Fair Haven the past 10 years, and was
one of the most popular men in town. He
leaves wife, three daughters and son.

and has the power to relieve and cure.
In nearly all cases the source of
women's suffering is in the womb.
In many cases the icale physician does
not understand the case and treats the
patient for mption-indigestio
anything but the right thing.
1t is under such circumstances that
thousands of women have turned to
Mrs. Pinl1ham, at Lynn, Mass, and
opened their heart and lives-woman
to woman-and received her help.
You ask how she can tell if the doctor
cannot? Because no man living ever
treated so many cases and possesses
such vast experience.
Displacement, Inflammation, torpid
action, stagnation, sends to all parts
of the body the pains that crush YOU.
Lydia E. Pinl1ham's Vegetable
Compound" is the sure cure for this
trouble. For twenty years it has done
its grand work and cured thousands.

Armentans Make a Revolutionary OUT
break and Capture "A Bank --- 1000
People Killed.
1t is estimated that 200Q people were
killed in the riots at Constantinople last
Wednesday and Thursday. The riots were
started by the Armenian residents, who
have in this way invited renewed outrages
on their own countrymen, and lost much
of the sympathy of other nations. Out
breaks were made in several parts of the
city at the same time, the object being to
attract attention while $50 Armenians at
tackled the Ottoman bank. In the attack
several persons were killed, and the Arme-
mans who entered the bank carried bombs
which they threatened to use unless their
demands were complied with. Sir Edgar
Vincent, the governor of the bank and the
other officials escaped to the roof, 159 per-
sons being left with the Armenans as hos
tages. The Armenians fired guns and
threw bombs from the windows, so that
when the police arrived the street around
the institution was piled with dead and
wounded. After seige during the night
the insurgents in the bank surrendered. In
addition to the battle around the bank Ar
menians in many parts of the city fired
from the windows, killing many persons.
When the Armenians appeared OH the
streets the mobs attacked them with sticks,
killing and wounding many.
