Two CoiOred Women.
New York, March 2T.-John Goldstein,
of 20 South Street, told remarkable sto-
ry to the police yesterday. in which two
colored women take the role Of footpads
usually assumed by men in cases of pock-
understanding. According to Goldstein,
he was walking along Pine Street. short
Iy after midnight on Saturday night, when
he noticed two colored women turn into
that thoroughfare at Eighth Street and
follow him. He paid no attenetion to them
until Sixth Street was nearly reached.
when he heard someone running behind
him.
Just as he turned around to see what
was the matter one of the women struck
him on the head with a sandbag, causing
him to fall to the pavement and rendering
him unconscious for about two minutes.
The female footpads made hurried search
of his pockets and abstracted pocketbook
containing $50, but in their haste. and pos
sibly because Goldstein was fast regaining
consciousness they overlooked s67 in an
other pocket. and started to run.
AS soon as Goldstein came to his senses
he shouted for help. bringing Policeman
Miekens, of the Third district, to the spot
Quickly learning what the trouble was,
Mickens started in pursuit OF the two COL
ored women and succeeded in catching
them. At the police station the prisoneres
gave their names as Bertha Johnson. of
Panama Street, and Eliza Kelly, of Bay
Street.
At a hearing before Magistrate Harrison

DESPONDEN9 MOTHER
ATTEMPTS Suicide
Swallows Disinfectant Left by
the Health officials.
Her Child Recovering From the
Scarlet Fever.
Husband Serving a Term I'm the PEN
Neutrality-suspicious. Expected
to Recover.

Mrs. Maude Barry, twenty-five years of
age, living at 2O5 K Street southeast, at
tempted to commit suicide this morning at
z o'clock by swallowing the contents Of
bottle of disinfectant that had been left
at the house by the Health Office authori-
ties few days ago to purify the clothing
and bedclothing of the inmates Of the
house. A physician in the neighborhood
was Immediately called to attend the wo-
man and succeeded after much difficulty
In relieving her of the poison. No cause is
assigned for the deed.
Mrs. Barry lives with her father at the
above number, and recently has been en-
gagged in caring for her eldest child, a boy
five years old, who Is just recovering from
a long attack Of scarlet fever. The mother
has been confined to the house throughout
the illness of her child, and of late has
been acting strangely. A few days ago the
authorities at the Health Office left bottle
of disinfectant to be used on the clothing
and bedclothing OF the other members of
the family. Mrs. Barry had charge OF
this and was told to exercise extreme eau
ton in its use, as 1t contained chemicals
which il taken internally, would prob
ably result in the death of the person swal-
lowing it. She was in the room with the
child this morning when she swallowed
several large mouthfuls of the deadly stuff.
Shortly afterWard she was seized with
violent conyusions and a physician was
summoned, who announced that the woman
had undoubtedly taken poison.
An investigation was made and the dis
covery made that large quantity of the
disinfeetant had disappeared. In sho
time Mrs Barry had so far recovered that
she was able to talk and she told her
mother she had taken the poison She wa
asked why she had done so and refused To
give any reason. She is now out of danger
but is suffering greatly.
Mrs Barry has had a great deal oI
trouble during the last year, it is said,
and this is probably the cause of her at
tempt to take her own life. Her husband
was sent to the penitentiary six months
ago for term of twelve years and sine.
then she has been living with her father,
John Taylor, at 205 X Street southeast.
She has two children, one five years old
and the other babe in arms. The former
is the child that has been i'll for some
time with the scarlet fever. The mother S
attentions to this child have been most
tender and devoted and she has several
times stated that if he should die she
would not care to live. The child is en-
tirely out of danger now and it is nj
thought probable that encouragement over
his condition was the cause of her attempt
at suicide.
The husband of the woman is said to
have been a worthless character who pre-
ferred 10 obtain his living by questionable
methods He is well known to the police
of the city and has been in trouble several
times before he was arrested and sent to
the penitentiary.

SOCIETY UP IN ARMS.
Gay Theatrical Posters More Than
They Could Stand.

Trenton, n. J., March 27.-The residents
of fashionable West State Street, out be-
yond the capitol, are up in arms over
high advertising board that has been erect
ed for two blocks along what is practically
the north side of the street. The feeder to
the Delaware and Raritan Canal is the ac-
tual boundary on the north side of the
street. and.on the upper bank of the feeder
the Objectionable signboard has been built
The board begins directly opposite the
palatial home of Chas<5 G. RoebIing head
of the big Roebling concerns, and extends
along for two full blocks. Every surround
ing was congenial Until an enterprising
advertising man came along and leased the
right to erect double storied bill boards.
Then the trouble began. The fashionable
folk saw big bars of soap, and giant like
shoes done in gaudy colors every time they
took view from the front of their homes.
Then the theatrical events began to be ad-
vertised, and gay Parisians in abbreviated
costumes greeted the gaze of society. 1t
was too much, and now an English hedge
is being planted on the lower bank of
the feeder, which will not only put the bill
board man out of business. but will COM
pletely hide the feeder froD view.

THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and stomach Troubles.
RidicuIe, However, Is Not Argument
and Facts Are Stubborn Things,

RidicuIe, However, Is Not Argument,
and Facts Are stubborn Things.
Stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases so obstinate to cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any REM
edy claiming to be a radical, permanent
cure for dyspepsia and Indigestion Many
such pride themselves on their acuteness
in never being humbugged, especially in
medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far. so far, in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak diges-=
tion rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims
made of a preparation so reliable and uni
versally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets.
Now, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines, for
the reason that they are not a secret pat
ent medicine, no secret Is made of their
ingredients. but analysis shows them to
contain the natural digestive ferments,
pure aseptic. pepsin, the digestive acids,
Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis, and nux.
They are not cathartic, neither do they
act powerfully on any organ, but they cure
indigestion on the common sense plan of
digesting the food eaten thoroughly before
it has time to ferment, sour, and cause the
mischief. This is, the only secret of their
success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles be-
cause they act entirely ON the bowels.
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach. -
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That is all there is
to it. Food not digested or half digested
is poison, as it creates gas, acidity, head
aches, palpitation OF the heart, loss of
flesh and appetite and many other troubles
which are often called by some other
name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
at so cents per package. Address F. A.

coMPLA1NANTs ANSWERED.
Result of the Investigation of Street
RailxYay OnerntiOnS.


Ever since the February blizzard, pro-
tests have been received by the District
Commissioners relative to the manner in
which the City and Suburban Railway
Company has been operating its lines.
The matter was referred to S. T. Thomas.
Attorney for the District, with the request
that he render legal opinion on the ques-
ton. This was done, the attorney holding
that the Commissioners may compel the
City and Suburban Company to operate
cars over it's lines by actions to enforce
the penalty provided by law.
Attorney Thomas holds that the joint
resolution of Congress approved February
3, 1897. and providing an extension Of time
for the lexington and Soldiers Home
Railway Company and the Belt Line Rail-
way Company to change their motive pow
er, requires that forfeit of S100 shall be
made to the Commissioners for each day
that the respective companies fail to oper-
ate the whole of their lines. Attorney
Thomas says that this penalty may be en-
forced against the City and Suburban line
by appropriate action at law unless the
company is able to show a good reason for
not running its cars.
Il would suggest, however," concludes
the attorney, that the magnitude and Sc
verify of the storm of February 13 last
would, perhaps, constitute an excuse for
failure to run cars for several days My
opinion is that the Commissioners may
compel the company to operate cars over
its lines by actions to enforce the penalty
provided in the joint resolution of Febru-
ary 3, 1897"
The matter was then referred to en- in
spector, who reported last week that none
of the City and Suburban Company's lines
was being operated except the portion be-
tween the Catholic University and Center
minute schedule. He also reported that
the Belt line is being operated as follows:
From Eleventh Street and Florida Avenue
to the wharves, ON siX-minute schedule;
from Eleventh and @ Streets northwest to
Twelfth and Virginia Avenue southwest,
on a thirty -minfte schedule, and no op-
Grafton at all in Water Street between G.
Street and the southern terminus of that
portion of the system.
Engineer Commissioner Beach, in taking
action upon the numerous protests, recon-
mended that the ,eomnlainants be informed
that while it is believed that the City and
Suburban Railway Company showed con-
siderable carelesSness and Indifference in
resuming traffic after, the great storm, it
is believed that it is now operating the
under the conditions which reconstructions
involves where the<read has horses for
power" This recommendation received
unanimous endorsement by the Board of
Commissioners. y ss

FIRED AT A MIRROR.
Doctors Cannot Convince This Man
That He Is Alive.


New York. March 27-AlI the physicians
ard nurses in Bellevue Hospital cannot
convince Joseph Jurcevity that he is not
dead by his own hand
Ee aimed four shots, and he knows ex-
actiy where they struck. A broken p ate
glass mirror at 622 East Twelfth Street,
where he lived. proves this. Jurcevity,
shot his own reflection, and he is firmly
convinced that each wound was fata'. In
cidentally. he shot stove that he believes
is the medium which caused his trouble.
He came 10 this country from St Fe-
teTsburg seven years ago, when he was
twenty-one years old. He is an expert
mschinist and has always commanded goo1
wages.
Jurceyity first went to Boston. He was
invited to attend a spiTitualistic seance,
and was forthwith converted to spiritual
ism. He was provided with a spook sweet
heart, one Leila, the spirit of an Egyptian
princess, thousands of years cd. Leila
told Jurceyity, through a medium, of
course, that in all her wanderings she had
met none to compare with him.
The Russian was delighted to have so
distinguished a spirit sweetheart, and
when she told him that he must econo-
miZe, live in cheap lodgings, spend little

made the sacrifice willingly. There was
nothing he was unwilling to do for this
Intangible sweetheart.
Three years ago Leila commanding Jur-
ceVity TO come to New York where fame
and riches awaited him. 1t happened that
the medium was coming to New York, too
OF course the man obeyed.
He has lived for a year or more with
Edmund RAYMOND 500 IA
Street, who liked him and thought his ec-
centricities harmless. Never was a man
more saturated with spiritualism. and he
wanted to convert everybody 10 his be-
lief
few weeks ago Jurcevity turned his
attention to mesmerism. He explained that
his spirit sweetheart had told him that
he was greater than Mesmer and that in a
short time he would startIe the world.
Since that time Jurcevity has tried to
mesmeriZe everybody in the house from
Mr. Raymond down TO the family cat. Yes
ierday afternoon Jurceyity went to his
room after announcing that he was going
10 receive a visit from his spook sweet
heart. A little while later there were six
shots Mr.. Raymond hurried to Jurceyi-
ty's room. Jurcevity met him with out
stretched arms.
Il have just shot myself" he said
cheerfully, pointing to the shattered mir
ror, and now ] am in Heaven How did
you get there? Shoot yourself, too? |
don't blame you bit" Then he pointed
10 the stove.
Il shot her, too" he added. That Bos-
ten woman was there. Now she is in a
hotter place
On the way TO Bellevue Hospital Jur-
ceyity amused himself by trying to hyp-
nouze the ambulance horse Dr. Frank
w Robinson. the insanity expert, spent an
hour with Jurcevity. He says the mans
mind is completely unbalanced by spirit
