There. is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro
nounced it local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure, with local treatment,
pronounced it Incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney 81
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only consritu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in, doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. They offer one hundred dollars
for any ease it fails to cure. Send for

OLD STATUE OF WASHINGTON
Made of Wood and Over a Century
Old.
Took the Place of King George
aud Il Now Owned by Har-
lem TObacconist.

Every now and then a relic Of revO-
lutionary times, OF which little has
been heard. comes To the public notice.
In the possession of a Harlem tobacco
dealer is a colossal wooden statue Of
George Washington. The owner.
Joseph Lehman, OF POI West l25th
street. says il is ia years old
In the colonial DAYS there was "a
statue OF King George I'm Bowling
Green Park. After the struggle for
independence this statue was replaced
by one of George Washington. II was
OF heroic size. and according TO the
information obtained by Mr.. Lehman.
it was the first statue of George
Washington erected in this city and is
the eldest wooden statue of Gen. Wash
ington in this country
The statue is nine feet FIVE inches
from the base TO the top and weighs
500 pounds. Gen. Washington is wear
ing the Continental uniform-long blue
coat with brass buttons. bun breeches
and riding boots. The right arm is
extended.and the left, carrying his hat.
IS resting on his hip. ON the right
side is "a fob and watch chain.
Mr. Lehman has looked up the history
of the statue. and be SAYS that it was put
up in 1872 It stood for forty-three years.
when 1t was decided 10 make some i'm
provements in the park. The city officials
looked over the statue and decided that il
was too old fashioned and not dgni6ed
enough for the city because il was Of
wood. AS result il was sold az auction
70 a Mr.. Jacques. collector OF things Of
the revolutionary period. He paid $50 for
it and sent it 10 South NOrwalk, Conn.
where II remained until he died In 1850
when it was sold again. The purchaser
this time was Antonio Decorate. who
lived in this city, but eventually il fell
into the hands Of Frank The0bold a To-
bacco dealer.
Mr. TheJhOld sold his business to Mr.
Lehman and with it vteut the statue It's
present owner puts a high value on H.
He SAYS it is worth S5.000-at least he has
been told that by persons who profess 10
have some knowledge Of the subject Mr.
Lehman says he mas been advised by DR.
Kelley, OF the City History Club, 20 hold
on 10 the statue, as it is sure not o. de-
preciate in value from the collectors
standpoint
During the Centennial OF 1889 It had a
place on the temporary arch at Wash
ington Square. It is a fine piece of work,
and Il was admired by thousands II
would have gone TO the Chicago Worlds
Fair had those in charge Of the arrange
ments here known of its existence in time
to send it. At the time Senator Depew
sent a letter saying that ne did not find
out about the statue until TOO late to
have it shipped
Mr.. Lehman has made many inquiries
from the Sons Of the Revolution and the
Colonial Danes about the statue. He IS
not rich, he says, and he finds that the
competition ia his trade is pretty stiff. bur
