ANGRY WOMAN
MADE ASSAULT
WITH BIG KNIFE

There was lively doings at 935 Manton
avenue at an early hour this morning,
and It was only the prompt action OF the
police that prevented cutting anair.
This is an echo OF the kidnapping case
in which a young woman couple OF con-
stables and collector for an installment
house were mixed UP a few weeks ago.
Among those who testified i'm behalf of
the young lady at the trial was one kagop
Mugerdickian. whose home ~ at Sl9 Man
ton avenue few nights ago he was set
upon by a number OF his fellow country
men and terribly beaten. lie made
complaint 10 the police and warrants for
their arrest were made out.
About o'clock this morning Sergeant
Bennett, accompanied by Patrolmen Shea,
Smith and Finnegan. went 10 the home OF
Mugerdickian. and from here to the home
OF Paul Geragasian at 9S Manton avenue.
Here he Identified Paul as one OF the men
who assaulted him. PauI was turned over
TO one OF the patrolmen and the sergeant
then began TO make a tour OF the house
for one Levan Nazarian, and he was
found asleep. Just az the sergeant was
about 10 step into the bedroom Paul. in
his own language, told Mugerdickian that
he would kill him. and in second Pauls
wife. I'm broken English told Mugerdickian
that she would kill him. and made a grab
for huge carving knife which lay In the
kitchen table.
Patroman Shea grabbed the woman and
held her until the men wanted and Mu-
gerdickian were loaded into the patrol
wagon.
Paul says that there will be something
doing when this part Of the scrap is
settled. and Mugerdickian is of the same
opinion.

A NERVOUS WRECK
Mrs. Green Gained Is Pounds and
Recovered Her Health by Taking
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

General debility is term that covers
q multitude of cases where there Is no
acute disease, yet the patient continues
to lose strength and the Doctors medi-
cines have no apparent effect. This Is
the decline that leads to death if means
are not found to check it. In a great
majority of cases DIR. Williams Pink
Pills will check it and restore health and
strength because they actually make new
blood and so send renewed vitality to
every organ and tissue of the body.

MONUMENT FOR HER DEAD

skirts of Brussels. The monument is
at the entrance of the cemetery. 1t
consists Of large stone sarcophagus
covered with a great cross. Over this
tomb is the British flag in bronze, APP
parently ruffied by the wind. At the
head stands giant figure of Britannia,
her head bowed in woe. Around the
tomb are three huge dying lions and
between their figures, in seemingly
abandoned piles, are broken guns and
acoutrements, uniforms and the gen.
eral debris of battle.
Bronze shields and slabs on the
tomb record the names and regiments
and heroes alike. At the back a
flight of stone steps leads into the
tomb. All the bodies possible were
gathered from the field of Waterloo
and inferred in this tomb, the ground
for which was given by the city OF
Brussels. 1t is an imposing monu-
ment and a magnificent piece of sculp-
ture; in fact, one of the best of the
Belgian sculptor, Count de Lalaing.
The Americans who visit Brussels
this year should not miss 1t.
The Yale expositor., 1906-09-21

Unlike the United States, by which
battlefields are preserved and monu-
ments erected to the heroes who fell
for their cause, England is never In a
hurry to honor her dead. The monu-
ments erected on the battlefield of
Waterloo are, with few exceptions.
Belgian, German or French. Now
England has been asked by Count
Louis Cavens, owner of the farm of
Mont. st. Jean, to buy 1t and turn
IL into park or historic museum in
memory of Waterloo. But England
wants none of 1t. The count has
written some frantic letters to the
London papers and there has been an
anaemic subscription list. but they
avail nothing. Besides. Englishmen
have delved into records, and find the
farm was not part of the field of Wa
terloo, but was the headquarters Of
the medical division and a long way
I'm rear of the action.
A really magnificent monument,
however. has been erected recently
to the British officers and men who
fell at the great battle Of 1915. II is
not on the field of Waterloo, but In
the cemetery of Evere. on the out
