OLD CURIOSITY SHOP MAN DEAD

OLD CURIOSITY SHOP MAN DEAD
John H, Nicklin, who kept second
hand store al Park row and Pearl
street, New York, died suddenly of ap-
oplexy on Tuesday afternoon. The
stores brass sign bears the inscription,
"Nicklin's Old Curiosity Shop" In
giving legal account of his business
Nicklin called it "hard ware" There
was everything in the place. a man
tried to stump Nicklin once and asked
for a coffin in a hurry.
ID you mean business, friend?" ask
ed Nicklin "Do you really want to
buy coffiu?'
"Of course 1 do" said the customer.
II have a very nice broadcloth-cov-
cred coffin" said Nicklin. that will
sell you Tor SIS 1t is behind that box
YOU are sitting on
So it was, with every conceivable ar
,cle of hImal manufacture. Pension
idols, new model Colts revolvets, queer
Il ,sks of Russian copper and greasy
secondhand packs Of cards were heap
d together indiscriminately. Nicklin
arried his Inventory in his head. II
vas perfect. He knew to a batpin just
what he had in the store, what he paid
for each article, and what he would sell
/ for. II a prospective customer didn't
aant to bry at Nicklin's price then he
might as easily save his breath
,nd GO without it as to hagge. Nicklin
wouldn't listen to him very long.
When the customer had talked 3
ime that seemed to Nicklin to have
satisfied the requirements of hospi-
tality, Nicklin would put him out on
the sidewalk.
Nicklin had no regular hours of keep
ing the shop open. Sometimes he
would take the shutters down at sun
rise. Sometimes the place would be
closed as tight as Sunday until nearly
noon. He would take notion often
that he was tired.
"Wllie," he would say to his son,
who helped him to run the store,
'close up." And the two would bun
die everybody out into the street and
lock the doors.
Nickliu had q full, white beard and
warm, gentle smile. He liked to
chat for hours with his customers
about the oddities and whims of other
customers. He told his stories well,
aud there was no end to their variety.
He came to this country in 1859 from
Scotland, when be was 20 years old.
He is said to nave left wife and son
in the old country. He got divorce
from his second wife six years ago after
trial that created much amusement.
City Magistrate John Mott was his
counsel. He had two childlea by this
wife. One, Annie, is married to a
prosperous Bowery merchant. The
other, Johuny, died when child.
A few years ago young man named
Wm. Nicklin came from Scotland and
was greeted by Nicklin as his son.
When his father died yesterday Will
liam Immediately closed the store, and
crowd stood about and watched the

The woman who /.

of maternity.
Thousands of women suffer in this way
and do not recognize the cause, or if they
do understand their condition, neglect it
rather than submit to the obnoxious exam
nations and local treatment insisted upon
by the average physician. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is wonderful Inedi-
cine for women who suffer in this way. 1t
does away with the necessity for these try.
ing ordeals, and may be used in the privacy
Of the home. 1t acts directly on the deli
cate organs concerned, and makes them
strong, vigorous and healthy. 1t banishes
the discomforts of the expectant period and
makes babv's advent easy and almost pain
less. lttransforms weak, nervous petu!ant
invalids into happy wives and mothers.
Thousands of women have testified, over
their own signatures, to this fact. The
"Favorite Prescription may be procured
from any good medicine dealer Any wom-
