The New York society seeks, by means
of lectures and practical demonstrations,
TO teach the best means of ~allaying suffer-
ing and saving life before the arrival of a
physician. The course consists of five
lectures embracing a brief description of
the bones, muscles, veins and arteries and
the means by which the circulation of the
blood can be controlled. Topics treated
on are artificial respiration, resuscitation
in cases of apparent drowning, cases of
burns, scalds, frozen limbs, the bites of
animals, fractured limbs and how To APP
ply splints, first aid TO those suffering
from shock, collapse, faiDting, sunstroke,
apoplexy or epilepsy and a variety of
other things useful and valuable. There

of instruction be provided in this city

LIKE INTERNAL MACHINES.
Remarkable Pieces Of Clockwork Found
In Williamsburgh.

In the cellar of an old one-story frame
burgh, a few days ago, William Schilling,
a fresco painter, who lives with his
father, a shoemaker, in a house adjoining
at 233, came across seven pieces OF clock
like apparatus which 1t is suspected are
internal machines. Schilling didn't
make his discovery known To the police,
but gave some of the clocks to his friends
He gave two to Charles Karpenstein, who
lives nj 594 Mercy avenue. K~arpenstein
took one TO Peter Halter, a jeweler at 66
Broadway, Williamsburgh, to find out
what IL was.
Through Haller the discovery of the
clocks became known yesterday. Halter
fully believes that the pieces of clock
work are internal machines, made TO go
off at any minute inside of eight days.
The works OF the clocks were screwed
on a heavy iron base, and a heavy ham,
mer was held Ia place by strong spring
taken apparently from a rifle. There are
three revolving dials on each piece of APP
paratus, comprising a day dial, hour dial,
ana a minute dial. The ticking when
the apparatus was set going was almost
inaudible, and the hands had been SO
arranged that the intent of the maker
could be carried out TO a fraction of a
minute. The works were SO arranged
that the spring was released when the
hands reached any point decided upon.
The head of the hammer would strike a
nipple inserted IN a hollow base cylinder.
This cylinder penetrated the iron base to
which tine apparatus was screwed. On the
nipple was a percussion cap.
The house in which the pieces ofclock-
work were found was occupied until a
short time ago by a man named Brown
lie lived there with his wife. They came
from England. Six months ago, accord
ing to the story told by Schilling, Browns
wife went back TO England. Brown left
Williamsburgh a week ago. Before going
he callei on Schilling and told him that
he had sold all his furniture, but that
there was a package of goods in the cellar
which he could have. On the day that
Brown left Mrs. Brown returned. In the
meantime Schi,ling went into the cellar
and cane across the pieces of clock work.
They were all in wooden boxes. When
Schilling saw Mrs. Brown and told her
about what he had found, she is alleged
TO have begged him to not say anything
more about them. She afterward went
away, and nobody in that neighborhood
has seen her since,
schilling could not be found last night.
His father treated the discovery lightly
and gave 1t as his opinion hat the seven
pieces OF apparatus were in the cellar long
before the Browns lived there. Neigh
bors said last night that fer several
years before the Browns occupied the
place the rooms were a resort for tramps.
The hoxes containing the apparatus
were II inches long and 6 inches deep,
On one of the boxes was scrawled in pen
ell, .'Good for 5 time, 3 hour and
under il, as ii made with the point of a
pin. rs. s. Tutonic."
The ~neighborhood has for years been
inhabited, IL Is said. by Anarchists, but
they have never troubled the police.

A DOUBLING THOMAS
Who Stood Upon the Ragged Edge
Of Health.
But was Willing to be Convinced
{. of the Truth.
Is Has at Last Become a Firm Believer,

Some people are so constituted that
they prefer to keep on in the beaten path
and never to strike out for themselves.
When they are sick they rely upon a few
old fashioned medicines, and apparently
choose to suffer rather than try a modern
remedy of established reputation.
Among the various ills OF such people
none Is more commoD than biliousness,
which is caused by torpor OF the liver,
thus preventing the proper digestion OF
the food, which decomposes and ferments
in the stomach. This cRuses dizziness,
headache, sleeplessness, pains in the stom-
ach ~ abdomen, with accumulation OF
gas; there is constipation and possibly
kidney trouble; the complexion is pale
and sallow and life is only prolonged
misery.
In such cases what is needed Is a nerve
and b~lood-builder to bring back the
bloom of youth to pale and saIlow people.
Mr.. Auguste Froelicher Of 299 Blocker
street, New York City, was a great suffer-
err, but when a friend recommended TO
him the greatest remedy Of modern times,
DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, he questioned its efficacy.
At last this Doubling Thomas was per-
suaded to try this marvellous medicine,
and the following letter shows how he
was convinced OF its great virtues and
now he has become a firm believer in 1t.
He says: "Having been sick for over
two years with malaria and dyspepsia and
not being able TO eat, the doctors advised
mo tn nnoEa a trim m Eranoo which Il
did, returning without any better results.
"My trouble has been one that caused
several physicians of renown here In
America, as also other eminent members
OF the medical faculty in Europe to fail
after persistently attempting It's cure. 1t
wa pronounced a complication of maia-
Ola, dyspepsia, and kidney weakness.
~ heard of DIR. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy and after using it for a
time l began to eat well and 10y suffer-
ings disappeared.
"That others who have suffered as i
have with terrible pains in the back,
limbs and head may be relieved from such
dreadful tortures, am restored to useful
ness, this testimonial Is given to let 1t be
made public that DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy las completely
cured me.o
Perhaps Ii IL not strange that Mr..
Froelicher doubted, for the marvellous
power of DIR. Greene's Nervura, the great
blood and nerve remedy, is almost be-
yond belief. A trial viii convince the
most skeptical that this is the grandest
erer, DIR. Greene of 81 Temple Place, Bos-
ton, Mass, Is one of the progressive med
ical practitioners of whom this nineteenth
century Is Justly proud. lie allows all
who wish to consult him daily, either per-
sonally or by letter, free of charge.

What is Thought OfBaeny'S
Disappearance.
Cheap Lodging Houses Fast
Becoming a Nuisance.
Curious History of the Man Who
Invented DOyer's Powders.

For more than score of years Charlie
Baeny, the missing bookkteper at the
Western Union telegraph Office, has been
known TO the business community and
to other persons who had business In
that Office. He began his service with the
company as a boy and from the outset was
quick, active and reliable. Moreover he
was very obliging and those who noticed
the bright faced youugster predicted that
he would rise in the business In which
he had beg un i'm such a humble capaci-
ty. And he did, for as time went on he
was promoted from one position TO
another until he finally reached the post
next In importance and responsibility TO
that OF manager. This latter position be
has file with signal ability and, accord
ing TO Manager Hurlburt, TO the latter's
entire satisfaction. The news OF his dis
appearance, therefore, is a surprise as
VIII as a sLoek To those who have seen
him almost daily for the last 20 years or
more and have watched his career from
boynood to mans estate. Nor will these
Trends and acquaintances believe there
has been anything crooked or dishonorable
In Baeny's d allngs with the company
which employed him. They hold
to the opinion that his present
trouble arises from a slight and
tieeting case of dementia ana he will
soon be himself again.
