The Police 0f Syracuse Make N Import
ant Capture.
On Monday the 18th. Harold Nerquisee. Of
Utica. n. Y, was arrested in Syracuse, n
Y. on q warrant sworn out BY the DR.
Williams Medicine Co.. charging him with
forgery. On the 18th of December Narqui
zee visited photo-engraver in Syracuse,
saying he was the representative OF the DIR.
Williams Medicine Co. and arranged for
the making Of frll set Of plates for the di-
rection sheets. tables. etc. of the famous
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
News Of this reached the home Office. and
when he should return for the plates. He
returned on the 18th and was accordingly
arrested and is now in jail in Syracuse
awaiting examination.
This arrest proves to be an important one
In addition to various plumber, such as
medical books, typewriters. rugs, etc,
found in Narquisee's trunk when arrested,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
in the trunk and on his person: and in
q search OF his apartments at Utica found
q complete outfit for counterfeiting con-
sisting of crucibles. bellows. nickel. lead,
bismuth. antlmOny. small blacksmith
forge, q charcoal furnace. and several
plaster-Of-paris molds. The United States
marshals want him Just as soon as the DR..
Williams Medicine Co. are through with
him. and. no doubt. he will be sentenced
for long period.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
his counterfeiting operations. he showed
his knowledge Of the proprietary medical
business: for these pills are in such grea:
demand that they are easily sold at any
drug store in the United States. His scheme
was to work the country druggists and sell
his limitations at a discount Of from per
cent to per cent. explaining the reduced
price by the fact that he had picked them
up in small lots and at a discount from
dealers who were over-stocked. By work
ing fast and making long jumps, he would
have secured many hundreds Of dollars in
a short time. The proprietors Of DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills are most fortunate to
have caught the rogue, before he had fair.

spurious goods out Of the market

he had found relief. meeting him on the
street recently. asked If he wouldn't give
him all the facts, as he was Interested. as
were also all his friends. Mr.. Risk said he
was only too glad to let the people in gen.
ersl and his old comrades iE particular (who
he knew were suffering from complaints
similar 70 his) know what had benefited him.
He then made the following statement:
II had been suffering for years from
complication Of diseases. among them kid
ney and liver trouble and chronic diarrhRa.
The greatest trouble Of all. however. was
the complete wreck Of my nervous system,
resulting from my service in the army.

results. until saw a testimonial Of an ''old
veteran who was in the same regiment
with me during the war with whom was
well acQuaintet'). stating that he had been
cured Of similar complaint by the use OF
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. had almost given
up hope, but concluded at last To give Pink
Pills trial, as they might possibly help
me. l began using them and soon COM
menced TO feel slightly better: my improve
ment was very slow. however. but still 1t
was noticeable. and this was encouraging.
in the course of about three weeks my con-
dition was vastly improved. To the present
time have taken is boxes of Pink Pills.
and can truthfully say believe l am en-
tirely cured of my kidney aud liver trouble
and nearly so Of my diarrhRa. My nerv-
Gus trouble, too. is so much better that
am sure a cure will be entirely perfected in
q short time.
MY wife also used the Pink Pills with
great benefit. Her blood was in an ex-
tremely bad condition. Since using the
pills. however. this condition has entirely
disappeared. consider Dr. Williams Pink
Pills the most marvellous discovery of the
age. cannot say too much in their praise.

ancc from an unwritten but time-hOn-
ored law OF her country. She is the
eldest surviving sister OF the ruling
king and. according to the unwritten
constitution. without her advice and
sanction her brother. King Lewar
ika. is debarred from giving effect to
any important measure. She holds the
veto power. and as she is a much more
determined character than her vacillat-
ing and pusilanimous brother. she is
the real power in the great Marotse
country She lives at Nalolo. on the
Zambesi, about twenty miles below
Lialui. where the king resides. and
when she visits the capital of the king

Johnston saw her she had come to

$50 women. to be present at the mar
riage of the kings eldest son: and
there was great flourish of trumpets

While nothing can be done in all
important affairs of state without con-
sulting Queen MOkwai. she rules SD
preme in the minor. local affairs of her
own district. Capt. Gibbons says that
she holds the power Of life OF death
over her subjects. She is at liberty to
wed or dispose OF husband whenever
she pleases, and she lives quite I'D TO
her opportunities il these respects. The
ch ha1 b1-v
her husband last year was No. = She
had killed all his predecessors, and
il is therefore a very precarious I'M
dertaking to become the husband of
Queen Mokwai. No. 6 had earned for
himself the universal! respect of the
people by his kind and just treatment
of all. The people loved him. and the
queen could not stand that, for ieal-
ousy and envy are the woman's lead
ing passions. So she had him come to
her hut 70 drink beer. and two young
men. armed with spears. were stationed
there with instructions to kill the poor
fellow when she gave the signal. She
gave the sign. but the young men. less
hard-hearted than their mistress. hest
tated. With a curse on their cowardice
the woman seized Portuguese saber
and ran her victim through As he fell
she remarked contemptuously: Thus
mas a thorn been removed from by

This metaphor seems to be generally
employed when the queen desires to
announce the violent death of another
of her victims. DR.. Johnston SAYS that
on one secession the Queen, after kill
ing a man with her own hand. sum-
moned aer crier and ordered him to an
nounce to the town that the queen
has had thorn removed from her foot
this morning." He adds that Mokwai's
reign has been stained by many a cruel
act of murder and bloodshed, and she
avenges herself particularly on those
who are the objects of her jealousy.

Gibbons, who had met her daughter.

is: "Oh. they are merely small fry. /

A Woman Who Has Killed Six Husband

This is picture of an African queen,
and she is a very important person In
her way. Every explorer who has en-
tered the large country of the Marotse
in the upper Zambesi Valley within
the past few years has told of Queen
Mokwai. This picture of her is taken
from DR.. James Johnston's capital
book. Reality vs.. Romance" He met
the queen during his visit in 1892;
and Capt A. S. H. Gibbons of the Brit
ish arm. who travelled in the Marotse
country last year, has given further de-
tails about this remarkable but not
particularly admirable woman. In DR..

throws any light on this phenomenon.
I cannot conceive of any malfOrmation
Of the brain which would result in the
production Of such a sound by the pulls
alton of the blood as it is pumped from
the heart through the veins which carry
the food for the brain 1t is always
the case when the brain is at all az
fecsed as the result of such an accident
as happened to this little girl that the
effect is discernible in some lessening
of the mental power of the patient;
but in this instance the child is as
bright and clever as there is any rea-
son to expect in a person of her years.
In fact. 1 am inclined to believe that
she is possessed Of unusual mental
strength. This proves to me that the
brain itself is not abnormal in any
respect. Yet, l am free to say that
1 cannot see any other explanation of
this peculiar sound than that it is
eanssd by something unusual about the
beah. So far as I know. there Is no
poasible way in which the sound Of
the hart beat or ~ the action Of the

Danner. / cannot believe that the
nssves have anything to do With 1t.

The little girl was recently before the
Academic de Medicine. in Paris. her
case having been submitted to that
body by DIR. Leopold Klein of London.
Four years ago, when residing with ner
parents in New York. the little one was
dropped on the stairs by careless
nurse and sustained a conclusion OF
the brain. The physician who was
called succeeded in bringing the tiny
patient about in eight days, with no
apparent evil results. For several
years nothing peculiar was noticed
about the child and then her parents
took her with them to London. While
there, quite accidentally, they discov-
cred the strange fact stated above, and
In great alarm called in DR.. Klein, one
OF the foremost physicians of the Eng
lfsh metropolis. The doctor had never
heard of such a case before and he
could by no means account for the
phenomenon. The heart has way OF
doing many curious things but this
was unprecedented, and how il has
come about is what some of the most
skilled physicians of Europe. whose at
tention has been called to the case
cannot fathom.
Certainly it is combination Of I'M
usual conditions, say the doctors. The
difficulty lies in saying exactly what
combination it is. 1t is quite possible
for the heart to become so affected by
6isoa ca that tho moyamopt of the organ
against the inner surface OF the peritO-
neum can be distinctly heard by per-
son dozen feet away from the owner
of the afflicted organ. 1t sounds, in
such case. something like 4 cow eat
ing grass. Their is nothing musical,
however, in the noise and there is no
apparent reason why the sounds should
be transmitted to the child's skull. 1t
was at first thought that there must be
some mistake about this-that the
sound really emanated from one other
portion of the body. and that the sense
of hearing was at fault in locating its
source. The most careful examination,
however, by men of exceedingly acute
hearing, demonstrated positively that
the sound came from the skull 1t
was peculiarly bell-like, and very like
the musical note which is obtained by
striking a vessel of thin glass; and
what is especially surprising the note
so struck did not end abruptly, but had
a lingering cadence. Nor was that all.
Each note was il distinct harmony
with the last. and the notes varied so
as to form a species of melody. 1t was
a continuous performance, 100. There
was not that fitfulness noticeable in
the ordinary pulsation. which even the
unskilled have learned to know through
the familiar Quivering diagrams which
show rise and fall and variation 1t
is unquestionably the heart beat and
the following pulsation which are
heard, and vet there is a regularity
about the musical note which is mex
piicable. 1t is not believed that the
nervous system has anything to do
with producing the sound. 1t seems.
DIR. Klein says. as if the coursing of
the blood through the brain must be
the cause of the sound. and yet what
action is possible which would account
for result so strange DR.. KLEIN fur

London hospitals and in brain surgery
