of acute indigestion. In the afternoon
symptoms of heart failure supervened.
and he grew steadily worse until the
time Of his death. The attack of heart
failure was accompanied by a fainting
spell and Flowers family in New York
city was quickly notified. Mrs Flower
and the former governors nephew,
Frederick S. Flower, accompanied by
Dr. Thomas H. Allen, Flowers physl-
clan, left at once on a special train for
Eastport When theys arrived there
Flower had somewhat recovered, but
last night the attack of heart failure
was marked and he became unconscious
an hour or more before his death.
Flower had been a sufferer from
gastritis for a long time with every
now and then an acute attack. For a
month or two past he had been regu-
lar visitor at the PASSPORT Country club
in the hope that he would find some re-
lief in the outing. He, appeared in
robust health Thursday and yesterday
morning when he arrived at PASSPORT,
where he intended to remain until Mon
day, his health was apparently excel
lent. The attack from which he suf-
fered yesterday, came on suddenly and
was of more severe type at the outset
than any he had previously suffered.

as the Ball.

final farewell of New York society last
night at the Waldorf-Astoria. They

dinner to eighty-six persons. 1t is said
the dinner cost $4,000. 1t went off in a
blaze of glory-viands wines, flowers,
music, service, all were perfect-but it
was not promiscuous function like the
famous fancy dress ball of several sea-
sons ago. The table had to be made
especially 1t was twenty feet broad and
seventy-six feet long. Table linen of
enormous SIZE was procured. Then came
the decorating, which had occupied the
attention of an army of florists all the
day.
Among the last to arrive was Chaun-
cey M. Depew. Mrs. Bradley Martin,
escorted by Senator Depew, immedi-
ately led the guests into the banquet
hall. Mr.. Bradley Martin. with Mrs.
James z. Kernochan, brought up the
rear. Mrs Bradley Martin and Sena-

Martin and Mrs. Kernochan on the 9TH
err side facing them.

"Incurable" Heart Disease
Soon Cured!

BY The Great Specialist In Treat
Ing weak and diseased Hearts,
FRANKLIN MILES, M. M, l.. l..
H., of Chicago, who will send
Treatment Free to Any of our
Afflicted Readers.
To demonstrate the unusual curative
powersIof his new and complete special
treatment for heart disease, short breath,
pain in the side, oppression in the chest,
irregular pulse, palpitaton, smothering
spells. putting of tho ankles or dropey,
Dr. Miles will send, free, to every afflicted
person, two dollars and half worth of
his new treatment.
1t is the result of twenty-four years of
careful study, extensive research, and re-
markable experience in treating the var.
ious ailments of the heart, stomach and
nerves. which so often complicate each
case. So astonishing are the results of
his complete special treatment in most
cases, that he does not hesitate to freely
offer all patients trial free.
Certainly nothing could be more gen
erous-more philanthropic. Few physi-
clans have such confidence in their rem
edies. And there is no reason why every
afflicted person should not avail them
selves of this exceedingly liberal Offer
as they may never have another such an
opportunity. No death comes more sud
denly than that from heart disease.
Mrs. Frank Smith of Chicago, was
cured of heart dropsy, after five leading
physicians had given her up.
A thousand references to and testimo-
malls from, Bishops, Clergymen, Bank
ers, Farmers and their wives will be sent
free on request. These include many
who have been cured after from five to
fifteen physicians and professors had pro-
nounced them ''incurable."

GLAD THE BOY GOT OFF.
Close of "a Novel Trial for the Murder of an
Officer at Chicago.


Chicago, May 15.-Found guilty of
manslaughter and sentenced to years
Imprisonment in the penitentiary, Mrs.
Marjorie Crosby sat in Judge Water
mans court Saturday and smiled be-
cause her 14-year-old foster-son-the
slayer of Deputy Sheriff Nye-had been
declared innocent Of the crime. Stolid-
ly Indifferent as to her own fate, the
aged widow listened without emotion to
the minute clerks reading of the ver-
dict which held her responsible for the
murder of the deputy. The boys eyes
filled with tears, it is said, and he told
is mother he would rather go to prison
than let her go.
This is the case where a boy of IA
deliberately shot to death an officer in
the discharge of his duty as ordered by
the court. The jury was divided on the
question as. to whether anybody was
guilty of murder in killing deputy
sheriff and finally concluded that Mrs.
Crosby was to the extent of year in
the penitentiary.

the Monthly Men Quit.
Buffalo, N Y, May 16.-The dock
situation is worse now than at any
time since the opening of the season.
The monthly men-the men who work
inside of the elevators-are out and
have agreed to remain out until the
grain shovelers' and the freight hand
lerS strikes are settled. Today every
elevator here will be idle unless new
men can be secured to take the places
Of the monthly men, which is said to be
improbable owing to the fact that it re-
quires considerable experience in op-
Grating the machinery Of the elevators.

grain shovelers held a conference yes
terday that lasted until 8 o'clock last
night. The grain shovelers claimed
that Corners had violated all the es-
sential provisions of the agreement that
the Lake Carriers association had made
with the union. The bishop summoned
many witnesses before him. At the
conclusion Of the conference the bishop
addressed a big meeting of the grain
shovelers. This new strike is against
the COnIlIlueu eiHplOyIneuC VI Tie Hull
union men now working, and the bishop
in his speech Endorsed the strike on this
issue.
Boss Scooper Novels was set upon last
night while returning from work by
crowd Of boys. Before he reached home
a crowd of women numbering over 100
joined in the attack upon him, beat him
badly and took away his revolver.
Novels was rescued by the police. Later
in the evening a scooper named Cliff
ford, employed by Corners, was set
upon and compelled to draw a revolver.
The police arrested him for carrying
a concealed weapon.

What Becomes of Pianos >

What becomes of old pianos is as diff
cult problem to solve as is the ques-
ton, What becomes of pins? Germany,
it seems, sends numerous pianos to
South America and Australia. France
and England only turn out 40, 900 year.
There are about 100 factories in New
York. Pianos disappear from the world
in most mysterious manner, considering
their size and the fact that the streets
are not blocked with cast-off instru-
ments. Another very curious fact is
that a New York dealer has known Of
but three that were cut up for firewood.
A secondhand dealer says he bought
six for something like $50. The old in
struments are occasionally refitted. pol

and where do they go? That is
question which at present remains un-

The following morning it happened
that a matter of business took me in
the vicinity of Defendants chambers,
and, having half an hour to spare, I
determined to call and see if he had
heard anything in connection with his
plot.
AS I was about to enter his sitting
room, however, I heard the sound of
voices, and hasty glance showed me
that he was engaged. A young lady
was standing by the table, facing De-
benham, who locked as guilty as any
schoolboy caught in an orchard.
''I got it back this morning." the
girl was saying ga man who is en-
ployed on the railway picked it up as
he was on his way to his work"

part of it is that by this mornings

it if you like"
And she handed him the precious

He read it in feigned establishment.
CT never heard of such curious
thing" he murmured. It's positively
Isn't it, you know?"
Of course, this childlike attempt at
deception didn't deceive the girl.
"Mr. Debenham," she said, "you
wrote this letter; you sent this note. I"

sob, yes you did. It's no use deny
ing it. No one else knew of our
loss"
There WAS pause. Debenham
stood looking very red and foolish.
"Come, you'd better confess" she
said at length.
He rumpled his hair in a reckless
fashion.

do a good action in this world" he
cried "He's sure to be found out"
"Then you did send it?"
"Ye-es. You see, you wouldn't let
me help you. and $3.50 it struck me
that it would be capital idea to pre-

answered, 'for that was most realis-

Debenham groaped.
