A Clever Trick:

Il certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has lame back and weak kid
neys, malaria or nervous troubles. We
mean he can cure himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This medicine
tones up the whole system, acts as
stimulant to the Liver and Kidneys, is a
blood purifier and nerve tonic. 1t cures
constipation, headache, falnting spells,
sleeplessness and melancholy. It is
purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and
restores the system to its natural vigor.
Try Electric Bitters and be convinced
that they are miracle worker. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only SOC bottle at

WANTED THE PRICE.
So He Tried to Dispose of Ten Dollar
Macintosh for 81. SO.

John J. Conway, 80 years old repre-
senting himself as a collector or So
licitor in the employ of ]. S. Round &
Co. of Boston, who have branch office
at $40 Main street, this city, was ar
rested last night by Officers Mcleod
and John O'Connor, charged with
drunkenness.
Conway admitted to the officers that
he had been on a prolonged spree, but
he also told them such variety of
fairy tales as to his name and occupa-
ton, that he will be held for court.
Officer Mcleod had his attention
called to the man, while he was trying
to dispose Of a lady's macintosh val
ued at $40, to the proprietor Of a Spring
street emporium, for the munificent
sum of $1.50. When placed under ar
rest, Conway told several stories as to
how the garment came into his pos
session, thus arousing the officers sus-
picions.
He was taken to the Waldo street
station house, where he first gave his
name as Ferguson, afterward chang
ing 1t to Conway. He said the reason
for his trying to dispose Of the gar
ment at such a low figure was that he
was broke and wanted to raise the
price of drink.

A FALSE ALARM.
Painters at t. c. Bates House Are Taken

Painters at T. C. Bates House Are Taken
for Bold Daylight Burglars.
Capt. d. A. Matthews had just re-
turned from dinner yesterday and was
preparing to take up his duties of the
afternoon, when the telephone bell
jingIed in a way that sounded like
business. A hurried conversation ac-
oualnted the captain with the fact that
strange men had gained entrance to
the residence of Hon. T. G. Bates, at
the corner OF Harvard and Dix streets.
Sergt. Hill, officers Ramsdell, John
Mccarthy and Reardon piled into the
patrol wagon and Driver Wilson APP
piled the lash with vigor that landed
the posse in the neighborhood of the
Bates house within a remarkably short
space of time.
On the way over it was planned that
the house should be surrounded, so as
to allow of no one leaving without
coming under the eye Of the watchful
guardians of the peace. 1t was known
to the police that Mr.. Bates was away,
and the mental deduction of the affair
was that this fact was known to the
intruders who were perpetrating dar-
ing daylight burglary
The house was surrounded and Sergt.
Hill went to the door, half expecting to
meet the robbers making break for
liberty He was welcomed, however,
by Mr.. Bates private secretary, who
and several painters who are at work
in the house, were the only occupants.
The matter of the men gaining access
to the house was explained by the fact
that the men came to work yesterday
afternoon, and there was no one to let
them in. One of their number mounted
a ladder and gained entrance through
a window, unlocking the door for his
fellow Workmen.
