Another Sort of Bank.

(Fr0m the Brooklyn Times.)
When the gambling den Kept by big
Jim Kennedy. on Front Street. oppo-
site the Long Island Railroad station in
Long Island City was raided by Anthony
Comstock last Summer the local police
determined that if ever another bank
opened in their territory it would so hard
with the gamblers. This determination
on the part of the police came very near
ending seriously for Detective Kelly the
other day.
L has been estimated in Long Island
City that Former Assemblyman George
E. Bulmer had something to do with the
people who opened pOolrooms and banks
in Queen CuOnnty. consequently when
Detective Kelly received quiet Tip
that Bulmer had gone to work in
bank near North Beach. the detective
decided that he would capture the entire
outfit. and show Anthony Comstock chat
the police could take care of their own
affairs.
Detective Kelly secured the assistance
of two other members of the borough
detective force. and they took up the
trail. Bumer lives in Miller's Hotel
and he was Swallowed in broad daylight
to the vicinity of North Beach for sew
eral successive days. Somehow the trail
was always lost out near the Casino
farm, and the detectives did not want to
show themselves in that vicinity until
nightfall. for fear of exciting suspicion
in the mind of Bglmer. Several nights
were spent in trying to get a peep be-
hind the closed blinds and drawn cur
tains of houses in that section Of the
city. The sleu,hs became veritable
''peeping Toms but they did not meet
with success.
Finally it was determined to follow
several other well-knOwn sporting men
who made it habit to go out in the di-
rection of North Beach at certain times.
This method failed to disclose the lOca-
tiOn of the supposed bank" Detective
Kelly became desperate and alone fol-
lowed Bulmer the other morning. Bull
mer got out of car near North Beach
where some horses and carts were at
work and appeared to be in charge of
them After waiting around for some
time the detective went up to Bulmer
boldly and said:
81 say. Bulmer, / am going to close up
this bank you are working in out here if
1t takes lifetimei'
eco ahead and close it," Bulmer is said
to have replied.
''I will when l can locate itr' retorted
the detective.
mo trouble about that" answered back
Bulmer. "You are looking right at it!''

THE PROBLEM SOLVED.
THE NEW MEDICAL DISCOVER
TESTED.
Results of the Test in Various
Forms of Dyspepsia.

Chronic indigestion or dyspepsia, while
| a very common trouble, has for some
| time been looked upon by able physi-
clans as a serious thing. and that no
| time should be lost in treating il properly
| at the start, because recent researches
| have shown that the most serious, fatal
and incurable diseases have their origin
in simple dyspepsia or Indigestion.
Diabetes is simply one form of indi-
| gestion, the sugar and starchy food not
being assimilated by the digestive or
gans. In Bright's disease the albumen
is not properly assimilated.
While consumption and dyspepsia are
| twin diseases, and it is beyond question
! that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil for
the seeds of consumption.
But the trouble has been to find a
remedy that could be depended upon to
cure dyspepsia, as it is VIGOROUSLY obsti-
nate and difficult TO cure
This has been the question which has
puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike.
until the question was solved three years
ago by the appearance of a new dyspep-
STA cure in the medical world known as
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, which it was
claimed was a certain, reliable cure
for every form of stomach trouble.
Physicians however. would not accept
such statements without first giving the
new remedy many tests and carefully OBJ
serving results.
For three years the remedy has been
thoroughly tested in every section of the
country and with surprising and salts
factory results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be hon
estly claimed to be a specific. a radical
lasting cure for indigestion in the var
ious forms of acid dyspepsia or sour
stomach. gas or wind on stomach, too
much bile. undue fullness or pressure
after eating. and similar symptoms re-
sultng from disordered digestion
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets were not
placed before the public until this three
year, trial leo no doubt as 10 their
value. and they have recently been plac-
ed I'm the trade and can be found on
sale at all druggists at the nominal price
Of 80 cents per package.
No eNtravaEant claims are made for
the remedy. 1t will not cure rheuma-
tism. pneumonia, typhoid fever. nor any
thing but Just what il is claimed to cure
and that is every form Of stomach trou-

MISS WILLARD's RoMANcE.
Her Youth Once Knew che Glory Of
True Love.

Here IS a true story: - pretty little
romance connected with the life Of Miss
Frances Z. Willard reveals the fact that
at one time in her life she had fondIed
with loves sweet dream. but her pretty
little pencil sketch of the affair gave no
names. In an aGroit and cvasive way
she merely intimatcd that her poor. low
ing heart at one time had its hero. She
says that at one time she wore a ring
and acknowledged an allegiance on sup
position. She speaks about this secret
lying within the temperate zone Of
great hearts geography. She seemed
hurt because people thought her heart
was cold To which she adds; Cold be-
cause no brave Stanley had ever explor-
ed its tropical cli.e; cold. because no
Balboa had ever sailed on its wide Pa
cifc sea In their youth Charley Flow

Methodist church. both were OF the
same temperament. and both were born
leaders Of men and women. Between
them there was strong afiinity-a
friendship which soon ripeued into love.
have been the result of the allegiance
based on a supposition. 1t is row be
lieved that this ring that she wore was
the gift Of no less a parsonage than
Bishop Charles Fowler. who viewing
the question of love-makinG from a
scientific point. just as he did all other
questions, and knowing full well the

told Frances that il would never do for
them to wed, and thus the engagement
was broken. and Miss Willard turned
the key and locked the secret in her
heart. The two however. have often
met and laborcd together in the Mas
tiers vineyard. Their life work-that of
lifting fallen humanity and leading them
into better ways-has been Identical.
The good bishop is nearing the end Of
ifc's journey. He has at best only been
preceded just q little in advance by the
dear companion OF his youth. But such
are the peculiar turns and crooks in
human life. To all of US our sun goes
down on dreams unfulflled."
