FAMOUS BOWERY is NO MORE
Prohibition and General Good Things
Responsible for Disappearance Of
Its oldtime characteristics.

New YOrk's old-time Bowery Is no
more. No final rites have marked its
passage, nor has the last requiem been
sung, but of recent months the change
has been progressing swiftly and no.
tlceably.
Only old-timers can remember the
'Tub of Blood" and other famous
dives, but now even the modern hang
outs are disappearing one by one be-
fore the advent Of national prohibit
ton.
Most potent Of the changes in Amer
ica's former driftway of human wreck
age Is the virtual disappearance of
the "Bowery bum" A newspaper fea-
ture writer recently sojourned on the
street for time, and he reported that
the "bums" are now almost all at
least casual workers, and that cash"
or a stable roll of the ''long green"
abounds.

A WELLKNOWN INSTITUTION.

Probably no institution In America

ago It IS today a modern sanitarium,
having all the latest facilities for the
correct diagnosis Of diseases and their
successful treatment through medicine
or surgery.
It was DR.. Pierce, its founder,
who over 90 years ago gave to the
world that wonderful stomach tonic
and blood purifier, "Golden Medical
Discovery" and that famous nom
alcoholic medicine for women, ga.

In his early professional career, DR..
Pierce realized that every family, but
especially those who live remote from

instructive book that would teach them
something about First Aid, Physi-
Ology, Anatomy, Hygiene; how to rec
ognize different diseases, how to care
FOR the sick, what to do in case Of ac-
cident or sudden sickness, etc, so he
published that great book, the medical

which can be procured by sending 80
cents to Doctor Pierce's Invalids'

Later, DR.. Pierce added another link

fishing bureau Of correspondence to
which any one can write for medical
advice, without any expense whatever,
and If necessary, medicines especially
prepared in Doctor Pierce's Laboratory

Approaehino the End.

Cicero in his dialogue entitled "De
Senectute" makes one of his interlOc-
utOrs say that all men wish to attain
old age and yet complain Of the fact
when they have attained 1t. He adds
that one of the grievances Of the old
is that age steals over them more rap
idly than they expected. It is pointed
out that we cannot prevent time from
passing, and that even If we lived
eight hundred instead Of eighty years

when 1t has flown away be able to

WOULD AID ARMENIANS
League to Appeal to Powers to
Mediate Turkish Aggression.
Earnest Debate Which Was Presented
by vivianna Urging Council To
Take Action Indicated.

Geneva-The assembly of the
League of Nations decided, without a
dissenting vote, to appeal to the
powers in the hope of finding a gov
eminent willing to undertake media
ton between the Turkish Nationalists
under Mustapha Renal Pasha and the
Armenians.
Earnest debate preceded the vote on
the resolution, which was presented by
M. Viyiani, former premier Of France,
inviting the council to take the action
indicated 1t threatened at times, how
ever, to justify predictions of the
leagues opponents that the work of
the assembly would founder on the
rule requiring a unanimous vote.
Mr.. Balfour of England explained
the failure of the council to find
mandatory for Armenia. He -eferred
to the refusal CT the United States to
accept a mandate and hoped THAT the
committee of the assembly might ~
better.
Viviani Pleads Earnestly.
M. Viviani pleaded warmly for
prompt action, provoking the first en-
thusiastic demonstration of the assem-
bly,. He declared that if the assembly
was unable to do better than name an
other committee it would proclaim its
own impotence.
It was remarked that Lord Robert
Cecil applauded vigorously from the
South African bench, while the Eng
lish delegates, Mr.. Balfour and H. A.
L. Fisher, remained Indifferent. It
seemed against an eventual military
expedition more than against media
ton, as proposed by M. Viviani.
Although DR.. Frithjof hansen was
the only one to speak boldly in favor
of an expeditionary force to deal with
the Turkish Nationalist leader, all
others. except Mr.. Balfour, approached
as closely as they could to this even
tuality without actually saying SO.
The general impression, after the
debate, was that the assembly favored
fighting Renal Pasha, If no other way
was found to erd the conflict in Ar.
menia.
| There was q moment of supreme
tension when the vote was reached az
the attitude Of Mr.. Balfour seemed to
indicate he would prevent a unanimous
vote.

r SUPPOSE that II was only
natural that Sergeant Crisp
= should be enormously sur
pr1sed at my not knowing that the,
police had visited Captain vibarps
rooms, only to ind him ned.
AS soon as the sergeant left me
began to reason myself into the
conviction that my avoidance OF
all the newspapers was rather
morbid-it is possible TO suspect
that a reawakened curiosity was
an equally strong though not an
equally ayowed motive--and ]

was the one episode In the worlds
history which really counted for
the moment, and that air other
problems OF foreign or domestic
policy took quite a second place
In popular interest.
What had happened was that on
the very evening OF the day on
which the inquest was held at the
White Hart In Upper ScOtney the
police had paid a visit to the rooms
which Captain Wharf had been oc-
rupying In Duke street, st. James.
and had found, as the sergeant had
told me, that he had gone. He had
gone In manner which Indicated
either a considerable haste In his
going or else some other motive
which had induced him to leave all
his belongings behind. Is.
A reference to the headquarters
depot Of his regiment showed that
he had not returned to his regi-
mental duties, as. indeed, there
was no reason that he should re-
turn, seeing that he still had sew
erai days OF leave, to his credit.
Questions at his clubs, at the
houses of his friends and at other
places which he frequented pro-
duced no answers except negative
ones.
He had vanished so completely
that some OF the amateur detec-
tives of the newspaper STATS .sug-
gested suicide, but that was
theory which was quite contra
dicted by the fact that on the Mon
day morning-that is to say; on the
very day of the inquest-he had
raised loan OF several hundred
,rrunds at his bank in return for
Iae security of some stocks and
shares which he had \on deposit
there, and had also drawn out a
large portion of his small balance.

would be-nor IL II had been found
near her body In the Summer
house or close outside, nor even
had II been picked up anywhere
along the path. But the actual
place Of It's finding. although quite
near the angle made by the track
from the conservatory at its juno
ton With the main path, was not
on either path or track. but right
among the bushes and seven or
eight yards at least from either
path. That really did seem a most
extraordinary place for its finding
II Aunt Enid herself had thrown
II there, as was quite possible from
the distance at which II lay from
the path, she could only have done
SO with the intention OF never
using II again. and that was sup
position which did not appear to
fit the facts, for she could only
have intended never to return on
the hypothesis that she meant to
run away with her lover. The only
theory on which could give any
reasonable account to myself OF
the. impulse which could have in
duced that lover TO deal her a fatal
blow was the theory that he had
urged her to do something
namely, this very thing Of flying
with him--which she had refused
To do. and had thus SO angered him
that he had committed the dread
full deed. But II she had come out
prepared to throw the key away,
which would be equivalent to the
burning Of her ships, It could only
mean that she was on her way to
this very flight! The whole thing
was but a mystery the more.
