SAVED BY A POLICEMAN.
Timely Discovery of IN Attempt
Burn n Tenement.

NEW YORK, Oct SOTO Policeman Pc
ter Murphy of the East 126th Street sta
ton, is due the credit for frustrating an
attempt to burn down a big double fiat
house on Lexington Avenue early yesterday
morning while the seventy tenants were
sleeping, and he also secured an important
bit of evidence which led to the arrest OF
Julius Karshay. the keeper of delicates-
sen store in the building, on suspicion of
being the incendiary. Karshay was held III
1000 bail in the Harlem police court.
Policeman Murphy. at midnight. while
trying doors along his post, discovered that
the door of Karshay's store. at No. 1908
Lexington Avenue, was unlocked and
slightly open. He stuck his head in and
called to see if the proprietor was around.
Receiving no answer he entered the store,
and seeing nothing disturbed, continued his
search to a small room behind a partition
at the rear of the place used as a sleeping
room.
1t contained trunk and a bed standing
near the thin partition. The bed was un-
occupied, and the back windows were closed.
but on the floor in the narrow space be-
tween the bed and the partition was a
small wooden box. from which came a
bright glow of light. STOPPING down Muir
ply discovered a small bit of wax candle
burning in the centre of the box and sur
surrounded by a mass of oil paper and
shavings, which in another minute would
have been blazing fiercely.
After he had plucked the candle out OF
the box Murphy locked around for other
evidence Of the very apparent attempt at
incendiarism. On the partition Immediate
ly over the box and reaching down to with
in a few inches Of the candle were hang
ing an old pair Of trousers and muslin
bag The coverlets on the bed were dis
arranged, and Murphy shrewdly felt of
the sheets. They were still warm as If
some one had very recently vacated it.
It was learned that Karshay himself
slept in the small rear room, and had been
seen by two witnesses to leave the store
at O'Clock that night. Nobody saw him
return until an hour after Policeman Muir
phys discovery, when he Immediately de-
clared that the store had been burglarized
and he had been robbed Of $120, which he
kept in pocketbook in his trunk.
Karshay was placed under arrest, and
told contradictory stories of where he had
spent the time during his absence from the
store. He couldn't account for the dis
turbed condition of the bedclothes or the
presence of the box of oil paper and light
ed candle in his room except on the theory
that thieves had placed them there.
The detectives learned that he had come
here from Pittsburg. short time ago, and
had only occupied the store eight days. He
admitted that the stock and fixtures had
only cost him $40. An insurance policy
was found in his possession, showing that
the day after he opened the store he had
insured the stock, fixtures, and his clothing
for 81 OOO

DEcoYED BY BRUTAL THIEVES
A Man Seeking Work Badly Beaten
and Robbed.


NEW YORK, Oct 3O-A man who
thought he was being taken to Yonkers to
start work on a trolley road there was es-
corted to First Avenue and Twenty ninth
Street last night and beaten almost to
death and robbed Of all he possessed. The
police think they see in his adventure a
new "bunco" game, and wonder how many
more of a party of fellow-victims with
whom Client came from Philadelphia met
a like fate last night.
Edward Client, thirty years old, left Hill
ton, N. Y, to make his way in the world
and landed at the Bingham House in Phil
adelphia. Then he met a man calling
himself H. B. Monroe, who said he was
agent Of the Yonkers Railroad Company
and that he wanted conductors at s2.25 a
day to replace men who were going on
strike. Client said he would like a job
By appointment Client met Monroe at the
Broad Street station on Friday night
Twenty other would-be trolleymen were
there, and from each Monroe collected
s12.25 as security" All came to New
York. Client says that he went to the
Bulls Head Inn, Twenty-fourth Street and
Third Avenue, and met Monroe there by
appointment last night. Monroe took him
to Twenty-ninth Street and First Avenue.
Suddenly two men sprang out and attack
ed them. big one graphing Monroe and a
small one Client. The battle with Monroe
did not seem to be very fierce. for the big
man let him get away.
Client resisted, however, and had des-
perate encounter. His assailant drew a
pistol and beat him on the head with it.
Client was standing at First Avenue
dazed and bleeding, when two little boys
came up and asked him what the mattey
was. He told them of his misfortune and
they found Policeman McIntee, who took
the injured man to Bellevue Hospital.

THE FEAR OF HUMBUC
Prevents Many People From Trying
a Good Medicine.

a Good Medicine.
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 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 car
ried too far, so far, in fact, that many peo-
pie suffer for years with weak digestion
rather than risk little time and money in
faithfully testing the claims made of a
preparation so reliable and universally used
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vast
ly different in one important respect from
ordinary proprietary medicines, for the rea-
son that they are not a secret patent medi-
cine; no secret is made of their ingredients.
but analysis shows them to contain the nat
ural digestive ferments, pure aseptic pep
sin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bis
muth, 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 nave 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.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals, digest the food. That is all there is
to it. Food not digested or half digested
is poison, as 1t 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.

in New Orleans, the city of carnivals. It
will be an electric parade.
The plan is entirely new and original.
and its possibilities are so great that the
sculptors and artists in charge of the
work do not hesitate to promise a produc
tion far superior to any previous parade.
1t is given out that all mechanical diff
culties have been overcome and several sec
tions OF the huge pageant are already com
pleted.
