NO TRACE OF
THE DEWEY BOY
Thirteen.YeaT-0Id Left Ills
Home MySterlOuSIy and
Cannot be Found

Mrs. James NJ Dewey. Of No 8
West Thirtieth street. is still at a loss
TO account for the whereabouts of her
13-year-old grandson. Arthur Dewey,
who disappeared from home on the
morning Of October Is last, and who
has not been heard OF since.
The lad climbed out of a second
story window of the Dewey home about
o'clock i'm the morning and left for
parts unknown. With him he took an
army revolver, a holster and belt.
which were a part OF the equipments
given by the state TO his grandfather,
who IS a member Of the Organized
Militia OF Delaware, and is a STAFF Off
Ger of the SAND
When it was discovered that the
lad was missing a short time after he
had left the house, a search was in
stituted for him, but since then he has
never been located The holster for
the revolver was found at Carrcroft
station. where the lad had evidently
tossed il aside Some time later boy
answering the description OF the miss
ing lad was seen near West Chester,
but since then no trace Of him can be
found. Mrs. Dewey has written a de-
scriptio nof the boy 10 a Philadelphia
paper and trusts that anyone who may
come across him will notify him that
his people are desirous that he return
home. There is no apparent reason
why he should have left home. and
there is a suspicion that he may have
been kidnapped and is being held for
ransom.

"A report such as that spread broad

harm than a ton of dynamite Such
statement would cause those in the
market who contemplate the building
Of vessels to ignore us, as they would
have the impression that we were not
in the business. Since 1 have been
here for something over two years, we
we have spent something like 100000
in rehabiitating the plant, which sum
includes $4,000 for a new dry dock
Can anyone suppose that we are going
to throw that money away2 1t is true
that the conditions existing in the
Christiana river limit us TO our pres

be able to obtain some relief through
the efforts Of the Board of Trade and

dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely we'll,
and there has been no recurrence of
the trouble.
In July of this year a little boy
in our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, washing
his hands and arms with the Cuticura
Soap, and amounting them with the
Cuticura Ointment. and then gave
him the Cuticura Resolvent. In.
about three weeks his hands and
arms healed up. So we have lots OF
cause for feeling grateful for the Gu
