stops irregularities, strengthens

the WORKOUT tissues of the kid
neys SO they will perform their
functions properly. Healthy kid
neys strain out the impurities
from the blood as it passes
through them. Diseased kidneys
do not, and the poisonous waste
matter is carried by the circulation
to every part of the body, causing
dizziness, backache, stomach
trouble, sluggish liver, irregular
heart action, etc.
If you have any signs of Kidney
or Bladder trouble commence taxi
ing FOLEY'S KIDNEYCU
at once, as it will cure slight dis
order in a few days and prevent
a fatal malady. It is pleasant to
take and benefits the whole system.
How to Find Out.
You can easily determine if your kid.
neys are out Of order by setting aside
for "a hours bottle of the urine passed
upon arising. If upon examination it
is cloudy or milky or has a brick-dust
sediment or small particles float about
in it, your kidneys are diseased, and
FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE should be
taken at once.

About four years ago wrote you stating thaS

trouble by taking less than two bottles of Foley
Kidney Cure. It entirely, stopped the brick

Arrival of Steamer Amerika.

Displocing 900 tons more water than
apy other craft ahoat, the new steamer
Amerika, Of the Hamburg American
Line arrived at New York yesterday
on her maiden voyage across the At
lantic. ooo
Despite her displacement OF Al ,OOO
tons. the Amerika is not the biggest
steamship in the world, the Baltic, OF
the White Star Line, being longer,
wider and of greater tonnage than the
new liner. The Amerika, however is
deeper than the Baltic The new steam
er has a length of 800 feet, breadth Of
"a feet and depth of SO feet.
The Amerika came from Cherbourg
Mole to the Sandy Hook Lightship,
4, O5O miles, in days II hours and Il
minutes. While the vessel made an
hourly average speed for the voyage Of
only 16 46S knots, she is capable oi
much more speed. Iu the passage from
Hamburg to Dover she averaged l7'2t
knots an hour.
The steamer carried l, ,6S1 persons, in
cluding the crew. Except for one storm
encountered ou the banks Of Newiound
land the maiden trip was without weather
disturbances.

voune Woman Confesses.

Mary f. Golding, the confidential
clerk and cashier of the Larkin Soap
Company in New York who declared
when she was arrested, on October IL,
that she stole to support her aged parents
and invalid sister in Buffalo, confessed
Yesterday that she gave most Of the money
to a Young man with whom she was IN
love. and that the story of the mother
and sister was fiction. She pleaded
guilty in Special Sessions, and her con-
fession was made in court in the form oil
an affidavit, when she came up for SEN
tence. In her affidavit, the girl says ID
part: -, ,,.
~ became acquainted with Alexander
G. Simmons, ofBrooklyn, in April, 1902.
7 met him on street car. From that
time we began keeping company. we
had been going out together until june
1908, when he asked me for some money.
/ gave him $40. After that gave
him from $40 to $25 at a time, two
or three times a week, and these gifts
| made from June, 1908, 10 the pres
ent time. October II was the last time
/ gave him money-S14. All the money
| gave this man | stole from the Larkin
Company. On May 4, gave him 500.
For this sum he agreed to give me
promissory note, which he never did.
1.-THE first money appropriated to my
own use was $40. After August OF this
wear used no part of the stolen
money on myself. as my conscience hurt
me. I don't know how much have
taken-it may amount to 1000"
An examination of her room at Z4O
Hart street, Brooklyn, several days ago.
showed a most varied and complete
wardrobe, including street dresses and
evening gowns, sufficient to crowd her
room to its capacity. The young woman
was seen in public places in company
with the young man she named, and IT
was her expensive dresses that first di.
rected suspicion toward her. The girl
was remanded to the Tombs pending
further investigation of her case.

after short time, frequently took a day

Every evening about Z O'Clock his
wife, handsome woman, appeared with
his lunch. Frequently when she ar
rived her husband would be absent, ard
then her eyes would 6ll with tears, but
she never complained.
Yesterday Williamson went to the
office at an unusually early hour, and
without any explanation handed IN his
resignation, at the same time leaving a
letter with one of the employees for his
wife. She appeared soon afterward'
and, after reading the letter, hurst inc
tears. To one of the women operator:
she said that her husband had deserted

Stories of a Friend
Make Duke an
Enthusiast.

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-Through the ex-
citing fishing stories of a permanent
official at the Colonial Office. the Duke
of Marlborough has developed into an
enthusiastic angler The official in
question made it practice of taking
his rod and tackle to the office on Sat-
urdays with the view of taking advan-
tage of the afternoon for lndulging in
his favorite pastime.
The Duke has caught the fever. 1t is
a common thing to find the Duke and
his subordinate sitting by the side of
some of the well known streams around
London. 1t Is doubtful whether the
Duke will ever become an expert an
gler, although his enthusiasm almost
laid him open to a charge Of poaching
few days ago.
What is known as the New River,
which supplies considerable part of
London with water for household con-
sumption, is prolific in fish, but anglers
must not approach 1t without the per-
mission of the directors. The Duke,
hearing much of the sport to be found
there. made his way to a quiet spot in
the neighborhood of Enfield, close to
the Government gun factory, one sun
day morning. A river keeper was
quickly ON his track and it took the
Duke some time to convince him of his
identity.
