Interesting Letter From
New York City

New York, Jan. 6.-By the action
this week of the Washington Heights
local board of improvement the city
will, in all probability, soon come into
possession of the old Hamilton es-
tate and convert it into a park. The
proposition has long been one of the
pet schemes of the patriotic societies
Of New York city and throughout the
country.
All that is now left of the original
Alexander Hamilton estate is a tract
of land on the west side of Convent
avenue, between 1929 and 143d
street. on the other side of the
street is the cid house-always known
as Hamilton Grange-which was
moved about Is years ago. having
leen purchased by st. Luke's Fpis'
copal church and converted into a
school. The church has preserved the
edifice as it originally stood in order
that it might be unchanged when the
day came when the city or some
patriotic society would purchase it for
the purpose of making it Hamilton
museum. 1t is in an excellent state
of preservation. Three or four OF
the original g elms, which Hamilton
set out with his own hands in COM
memoration of the confederation OF
the 13 colonies, still stands guard as
sombre sentinels close by the house.

The Wonder Worker of the Age.

DIR. Morrow in many ways is the most
wonderful physician of the day. His
practice for years has excelled that Of any
other physician in New England.
The afflicted from all parts Of the world
send to him for treatment or throng his
office, while he and his able assistants de-
vote their entire time to curing them.
DR.. Merrow's ability to examine patients
at distance correctly with his question
sheet or to tell sick person their disease
without asking a question is sufficient to
satisfy the public that he knows what
their disease is and therefore knows much
better how to treat and cure them than #
he had to guess at their affections. Many
of DIR. Merrow's cures are considered mar
velous, although the doctor denies any
thing of the kind or that there is anything
outside a purely scientific compound,
properly prepared to search the system
and drive out the disease, in his wonderful
discovery, System Renovator, concerning
which we OF late have published the testi-
monials of so many of our best known cit
liens.
1t should be remembered that System
Renovator is sold under positive guaran-
tee to give perfect satisfaction or your
money refunded by your druggist il it
fails to cure stomach, liver, heart, kidneys,
nervousness and rheumatism. A free
trial OF this wonderful discovery can be
had by writing DIR. J. W. Morrow, AZ
