William Brooke Died of Injuries
He Sustained in an e.
eyat0r Accident.

Mrs. Alexander Brooke is Frustrated
at her home, 155 Bergen street, today
as a result of the tragic death of her
~15-year-old son, William. who was
killed yesterday in an elevator in the
store at $50 Broad street. :
Mrs. Brockie was preparing supper
and Smith, of the First Precinct. came
to tell of the fatal accident. They told
Mrs. Brockie that the boy was hurt,
but she guessed their full meaning at
once and exclaimed:
"Oh, tell me, is he dead?"
The policemen nodded and the woman
fell fainting to the floor. She was min
istered to by neighbors, who heard her
scream. ,
Young Brockie was taking some empty
butter trays up to the fourth floor
in the store 1t 100 Broad street, where
he was employed, when his apron
caught at the third foo landing. The
lad stopped to release himself, with
out stopping the elevator. He was
drawn over the side of the elevator and
crushed between it and the floor above.
Oscar Denton, another employee in the
place, found the body wedged into the
narrow space. DR. William Gauch was
summoned from the City Dispensary
and pronounced the boy dead.
County Physician Mckenzie later ex-
amined the body and declared that
young Brockie's skull had been frac-
tured, his neck broken and all of the
ribs on his left side smashed. The
body was taken to Mullins morgue in
Washington street, where later it was
| claimed by the father.

Church sin the United States, and
recognized as a hearty supporter of the
cause of temperance, last night de-

In Chicago and other large cities would
be impracticable. The revocation of
all selling licenses. he declared, would
result in a surreptitious sale of liquor.
His eminence expressed these views
just before leaving Chicago, after Shav-
ing been in the city for eve hours.
He said:
The problem is one which will re-
quire much time and the best efforts
of our legislators n statesmen to
solve, but. judging from h results
already obtained, l and everyone can
not but feel that the total abstinence
movement is getting on toward a sue

MONEY BACK
Partisan Sage, the Hair Remover, is Now Sold
in America on Money-Back Plan.

Tried them all and failed, thousands
of people will say.
Try the real Partisan Sage and sue
iced as thousands have done.
In Paris DR.. Sabourand discovered

is the cause of 81 per cent. of hair
troubles.
These pernicious persistent and de-
structive little devils thrive ON the or
binary hair tonics.
Partisan Sage is such an extraordi-
nary and quick acting rejuvenator that
Menk's Pharmacy, who is the agent in
Newark, guarantees it to cure dandruff,
stop falling hair and itching scalp in

shoot Craig, but was trying to kill her
self. This was the story she told i'm
mediately after the incident.
When Craig was called upon to make
his formal complaint in court against

enacted. The prisoner was plainly on

she said gently: Twill, please drop it;

movement and left the, room.

he vas ASSAULTED and beaten by Mrs.
Marsh Scott Castle, in that she had
pointed a loaded revolver at him and
discharged the revolver, the bullet tax
ing effect in his left breast"
Mrs. Castles counsel. Frederick Dean,
asked an adjournment until next Fri
day, and Magistrate Butts fixed the ex-
animation for that time, holding Mrs.
Castle in $4,000 bail. Mr.. Dean told the
court that Mrs. Castle had no friends
or relatives here. and that he wanted
time to communicate with her brother,
Captain Henry Harrison Scott, of tho
Coast Artillery, stationed at present at
Fort Morgan, Alabama.
After her arraignment, Mrs. Castle
COLLAPSED and had to be supported to
an ante-room, where she was revived

DOUBTING DIR. COOK.
English Newspapers Seem to Dis
credit His Report.

London. Sept. S.-The public and press show
undated interest in the stories of the discOv-
cry of the pole, and the rival claims of Dr.
Cook and Commander Peary are expected 10
recall the famous controversy when Sir Richard
Francis Burton disputed Speke's claim TO the
discovery of the source of the Nile.
The most striking feature in the editorial
opinion of the English newspapers is the strong
contrast between the unwavering confidence
reposed in Peary's good faith and the attitude
of suspicion toward DR.. Cook, which has been
thrown into stronger relief since the world was
startled by the news Of Peary's success. This
attitude begins TO SAVIOR almost Of unfairness
toward Dr. Cook and ii IS safe TO say that his
records when published will be subjected In
this country at least. to far more critical scru-
tiny than probably will be given to Commander
Pearys.
The same distinction seems TO have been
drawn officially. for while the Royal GeOgraph
cal Society FASTENED to send congratulations TO
Commander Peary and decided to invite him to
England to read paper before the society, no
such measure of congratulatiOn or invitation
has yet been sent TO DR.. Cook.
